Changing with the times

August 11th, 2017 No comments

It seems to me, that we are trying but not really succeeding in the proces of finding new ways in the Democratic Party. Look at it this way; ideas are principles you fight for, to make a better world. Now, the thing is, the world changes. You have different challenges in different times. When Karl […]

Being neutral to all sides, to the best of my ability

August 11th, 2017 No comments

It is really difficult how to embrace both Mr. Trump and the Democratic Party plus all the supports of the ladder. On one hand, I am a truly loyal person, I do not jump from party to party, and I never will. I suppose I am also a good friend, or at least, I really […]

Making America great again

August 10th, 2017 No comments

Well, well done Mr. President, you stood up to what you believed in, and called off North Koreas game. I am proud of you, well done. This is difficult in a situation, where you have so many against you. But, the fact of the matter is, that there will be hellfire raining down on our […]

Dear mr. Trump, it seems to me, that the trouble of governing such a huge country as the U.S. is a more daunting task than you realised in the first place. It is, I remember the first phase of mr. Obama and my work. It was the same, trouble, difficulty in getting things through congress […]

The President

August 4th, 2017 No comments

The congress is scared about one thing; do you Mr. Trump disentangle the democratic process. They have, honest to say, something to put that fear in. The first hundred days were mostly executive orders, and they have not recovered from that yet. What you experience, is the first backlash after the first hundred days. Now, […]

Mr Trump

August 2nd, 2017 No comments

I have been pretty reluctant to guide mr. Trump, but the world is falling apart, and I need to try and help. The consequences are too dire, we are looking at a possible war with Russia and China combined. The US cannot sustain that. Add to that a rise of IS in Europe, you can […]

Israel

Well, we are witnessing the great triumph of Zionism these days. We have accomplished peace in the Middle East, more or less. We have made Israel a vehicle for progress, and Israel is at the brink of rebuilding the third temple. Imagine that, all thanks to the amazing presidentship of Mr. Barack Obama, and his […]

The Middle East

There is some trouble brewing in the Middle East, especially around the Temple mount. The “Palestinians” wish to enforce the guilt of the Jews, and try to provoke a response. At the heart of this matter lies the choice of the Christians the Jews and the Muslims. What do we want? We can chose to […]

The new paradigm

If we look at the world, most of it still runs in the direction Barack and I planned. This is not to diminish Mr. Trump. He has been doing quite well internationally, and should be respected for that.  But simply to try and understand what is going on in the world right now. When Barack […]

Do not lose hope

I know that we are a little depressed now. Things seem to fall apart, and there is very little hope.  In this situation we could perhaps look at the victories we have had, and learn from them. First of all, the Obama administration was a resounding success. We did it.  There has been little criticism of […]

The macromovements

With the continuing focus on the negative aspects of the Trump administration, I believe we are missing the opportunity to discuss what really went wrong with our own campaign.  I believe that I am pretty good at campaigning. I just won with May in the U.K., but we still haven’t figured out what went wrong […]

The Russians

People from the U.S. usually feel that they do not understand Russians much. That is quite normal considering the historical rivalry and fighting between the two great nations.  But, seen from a Danish perspective things might not be so different after all. Please let me explain what the Russians are, and how they ended up being […]

The dawn of the fight

You know, I am really amazed at the performance Mr. Trump did in Poland. Seriously, hands down, that was a class act. No doubt about it. You just hit all the right buttons, in a balanced, supportive, avant-garde speech that will go down in history as the first move of an American president in the […]

Mr. Putin

I really fought for Ms. Clinton in the last American election. I was, all in all, one of the prime strategic advisers Ms. Clinton had.  When we lost, I kind of lost my own swagger, it was the first election I have ever lost, and it was the fifth one I had had a part […]

The contenders

I have been neglecting the US for some time here on Rubicon, mostly because I have been really busy with Denmark and the UK.  Put on hold but certainly not forgotten. Anyway, I hope that some of the things that is developed for the UK, can be used in the US as well.  There is […]

The wealthfarestate

To truly understand the depth the change that we may be able to carry forward in the UK, one needs to understand the problems that we are facing.  The socialist doctrine of free movement and free everything is not a viable way forward.  What is viable however, is to understand what the shortfalls of said […]

What did we learn in the election?

The election, and the fall out of the drama, is finally over.  It is time to wrap it up, and talk a little about the potential political growth that we realized in the election.  First of all, we need to do other things than just Brexit. Yes it is a humongous task, but focusing only […]

A dangerous situation

June 19th, 2017 1 comment

The endless cycle of war has finally begun in the UK. That of attack and retaliation. This is how war works.  If the one side keeps attacking, and no one answers, in the end someone will do it in a primitive way.  As the conflict unfolds, people will be forced to choose sides. This is […]

To do good

There has been a lot of discussion on the Wealtfarestate and the problems this part of the country is in.  Let me clear, more money is not the answer. Already it is extremely expensive. What will work however, is the ATTITUDE towards the wealthfarestate.  The basic problem with the wealthfarestate is firstly a widespread demoralization. […]

The danger

As the conflicts with the islamists are on the rise, the measures to use against them must meet the challenge they pose.  If it is truly is an act of terrorism burning down the sky scraper of London, well, the true horror of the foe is fully revealed. We saw it in Syria with the Yazidi […]

Coalition

Now, there is a hung parliament. This is very unusual for British politics, but in Denmark, this is the way it works.  It is like this. A PM for a coalition, will have to serve the entire coalition. That is really the difficult thing. Because a PM from one party has to include the most […]

The Ukippers

Ok, here a fortnight after the election, things seem to have unfurled more or less the way I saw it. The DUP is much more conservative than the conservatives, and draws the Tories to the right. It is not good if this means control of gays, abortion and so on. But as a staunch supporter […]

Election reflections 

There has been much discussion on the manifesto, and the how’s and why’s of this election vehicle.  I tend to agree, as probably all have, that it wasn’t that great of a paper to work from. It seems to me, that the Tory leadership was so fixed on Brexit, that they forgot about all the […]

The wealthfarestate 

There is a rising interest in a cooperation between the right and the left of the aisle on different issues. The main being, if we actually listen to the constituency, the dismantling of the wealthfarestate.  It is not necessarily in the historic interest of the Tories to dismantle the wealthfarestate, there has been a tradition […]

UK election

Well, well, well, who would have though that. A hung parliament, and the pollsters, once again, had it all wrong. Anyway. If we look at the issues discussed and the outcome, this was a very difficult election, not at least because there were two terror attacks in the midst of it. This skewered the whole […]

The lion of London bridge

There has been a lot of discussion on the current development, and that the UK treads new ground. Tackling the islamists is perhaps difficult, and how will it end and so on.  Just to be clear on this, since it is basically my ideas we are working with. There is absolutely nothing new in the […]

Our protector

In these devastating and difficult times, we need guidance. Not just heavenly guidance, but, as I see it, guidance from a certain aspect of spirit. We are entering a war, that is quite obvious, and this war, if we want to end up with peace, has to be conducted in a very intelligent and planned […]

War

Here we go again, another terror attack. This time done with simple tools, and so easy to do. All you have to do is to have knife, and then start aiming at people.  We are so vulnerable against these attacks.  It is on high time, that we stop treating these cases as police matter, and […]

Economy

I order to realize some true progress in the election in the UK, which, but the way is on track again. One also needs to address the question of economy.  The novel way mr. Cameron addressed this issue, has given a lot of good results in terms of economy and real jobs. That is what is […]

EU

​To understand what is happening with the EU right now, one has to understand the reason to the problems.  This is not to point fingers, but simply to try and analyze the problems.  When Dion, the supporter of the Syracusan aristocracy and friend of Plato was exiled from Syracuse in 500 BC, he tried to […]

The strong words

Europe is changing whether we want it or not, war is coming. It is already here. Not realizing this, is like the Second World War, just delaying the inevitable. Hitler has already blown the horn, and he is moving, with intent on Poland. As in the Second World War, what we need is not another Chamberlain, […]

Phase II

We have covered the ideological basis of the fight against ISIS. It has been like that from the beginning, and will continue like that. It is an American lead democratic fight against an inhuman enemy. Something we saw in all simplicity in the attack in Manchester.  The power brokers of ISIS seems to have had […]

Never surrender!

In the face of the Manchester attack, there is a bit of soul searching for all of Britain. And a bit of waking up.  In its essence, this is a philosophical discussion on the how’s and what’s of the conflict. It is really quite simple, if you look at it from outside. You were attacked by […]

Manchester

It is with the utmost horror that I hear about the terror attack in Manchester. The unspeakable atrocities done there, and I do condemn them with all there is of any shred of decency in my soul. There is no excuse for killing innocent children. And we need to buckle up, shed the illusions and get […]

The UK

The UK is in a bit of a trouble. First of all, it is the very complicated divorce from the EU. In itself a mounting task. At the other hand, there are the requirements of the British public.  These two processes are in direct opposition.  First of all, I believe, that Ms. May is a […]

Israel

I have a clear shot on being the king of Israel. The timing is right, the prophesies are right, and I have the motivation.  But, the thing is, it ain’t over til the fat lady sings. Having a shot on something, is not the same as it being true.  I say this, because I do […]

Feel the Bern

I have given quite a lot of thought to the issue of, what do we do now. If we look at the Republican, they are in total chaos, because they have not accomplished a viable cooperation with Mr. Trump. This is not to say anything mean about Trump, he is what he is. It is […]

The EU

It seems to me, that there is a huge problem in Europe. The Islamist are truly arming up, the European Union is falling apart, and the questions are more than the answers.  In this case, my basic problem is, that there are so many political parties that I am invested in, and I am in […]

Tommy Robinson

It is with an absolute disgrace I see the video where Mr. Tommy Robinson explain how he treated by the police in the UK. Is this really the level of civilization we have fallen to? I know that talking about difficult things are problematic, but seriously, taking in his pregnant wife for interrogation. Scaring his […]

Isocrates

I am reading a lot of Isocrates, because he may not be as famous as his namesake Socrates, but he was, in many ways, just more practical. A lot of the citations just speak for themselves, so I will give you a small cavalcade here. And in btw. I have reached out with my press […]

France 

I am a little sorry, that the election in France went it way it went.

Borders

I know, that there is soon a deadline for the overall budget of the American Nation.  There is one thing I believe we should let Mr. Trump do. That is to make a better border patrol in the south. I know, that this is difficult, because we are afraid that it will be too inhumane. […]

Keep the flame burning

To be a leading academic has never really been a goal of mine. I could have had some kind of academic career, and I was very happy with my trip to Oxford a few years back. But to me, most academic institutions leaves too little room for crosstopical discussion. And with my rebellious attitude, I […]

Middle East and diplomacy

It is with great joy, that I see, that Mr. Putin and Mr. Trump has finally had an opportunity to talk to each other. It is good, because that will, hopefully, put a break on some of the escalation of the different conflicts in the world.  If the two great powers do not speak to […]

​OK, the first hundred days are over, Mr. Obama is not a president anymore, and I am on my own.  Or rather, there are many readers here on Rubicon, that still follow my lead, and there are many projects that still needs deliverance.  The peace project in the Middle East, the protection of Christians and […]

​OK, the first hundred days of Mr. Trumps president ship is nearing its conclusion.  I think we can handily conclude, that we, the Democrats are basically still very much in the game.  The things we do not agree with, are not going through congress, but at the points we do agree, things are going forward.  […]

The difficulty of virtue

​I am reading an interesting philosophical treaties by Plato. You know the Athenian who roamed the world 2500 years ago.  In this specific treaties, he discusses the development of a nation or a polis. The sophist of his discourse claims, that it is possible to teach virtue, and by doing that, create the basis of […]

​OK Mr. Kushner, I have tried to relay you some of the things you need to think about, if you want to work in the Middle East with peace. Again.  1. Think out of the box, to continue the endless Palestinian talks is a waste of time. 2. Understand the peoples of the Middle East. […]
