France 

I am a little sorry, that the election in France went it way it went. I understand, that the situation is extreme, and true middle leaning candidates are not available, like in other countries.  But, I would really have liked for France, to find a more simple and controlled way out of the chaos that […]

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 […]

The world after Obama

April 30th, 2017 No comments

​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 […]

The Middle East

April 28th, 2017 No comments

The Middle East peace process still needs the footprint of Mr. Kushner. Let me be absolutely honest about the prospects of a role to bee played by Mr. Kushner in the Middle East now.  Either you move with me, or you will be eaten by all the sharks that are in the waters. Not having […]

The first 100 days

April 25th, 2017 No comments

​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

April 24th, 2017 No comments

​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 […]

France

April 24th, 2017 No comments

Congratulations Mr. Macron and Ms. Le Pen. Both did a good job of getting to the second round of the French election. First of all, as I founded the movement that Ms. Le Pen is a part of, I am off cause proud of you Marine. Well done. Secondly, what I think France needs is […]

Peace

April 24th, 2017 No comments

​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. […]

To understand how you become a true leader of Israel and thereby have a chance to further the goals and the wellbeing of jews, we need to look at the stars of Israel. First of all of cause Shimon Peres, the greatest star of Israel and one of the founding fathers. There were others in […]

The Middle East

April 22nd, 2017 No comments

​The Middle East is not an easy place to do politics, especially not if you are from the West. Let us face it. When the Babylonians invented the wheel and writing, we were still living in long houses fighting all the time.  We smashed the beautiful Middle eastern cultures as the Hittite and the Homeric.  […]

Strategies

April 21st, 2017 No comments

​These beginnings of presidentships are really difficult, so much to convey and so much at stake. I do not prescribe anything, but I do try to make the shift from one presidentship as smooth as possible.  Now, there are basically two guys that are interested in the international politics in the Trump administration, as far […]

Ideas

April 20th, 2017 No comments

​Listen, I have given the whole international strategy quite some thought. The funny thing is Donald, when you started out, you had all the right priorities. You pushed NATO, you wanted to be friends with Mr. Putin, you wanted to fight China and ISIS.  These were also my priorities. Why, because it is pretty obvious […]

The two fights

April 19th, 2017 No comments

​Well now it has been a few months of Mr. Trumps presidentship. I realise, that I have been quite demanding, and I am sorry, but there is so much at stake, and so little room for error.  I am not a president, I am not a leader of a country. I am an intellectual, and […]

Strategy

April 17th, 2017 No comments

Ok Donald, now your first strike of foreign policy choices have been made.  To be honest, I am not that impressed with the strategic choices, but I do like the tempo.  First of all, strategy in business and in warfare hold some of the same components. You worry about your resources, you make a plan […]

What did we actually do?

April 15th, 2017 No comments

Looking at the Middle East now after mr. Barack Obama and I have left it, it might seem a little bewildering what we were up to.  I mean, we tried to make peace with Iran, we supported the Arab states at the same time, and tried to find peace with mr. Putin as well.  Most […]

Middle East

April 13th, 2017 No comments

Well, I know that mr. Trump sees the Middle East as a mess. Well, it has been a mess for the last 5000 years, ever since the first city of Eridu (Eden) was founded, then over all the fightings between the Assyrians and the Egyptians, the Hittitie (Iranians) the Babylonian (Iraqi), Jews, Christian, sea peoples, […]

The burning light of democracy

April 12th, 2017 No comments

I have reflected a little on all the work mr. Obama and I have done in the international theatre of war, and where that leads to you mr. Trump. First of all, international politics is very difficult, especially in a world where we are not progressing, but trying to stop the downfall.  It requires a […]

To understand what is really happening in the West, please let me take you back to a time when things actually did work.  A time that is almost forgotten today, but it actually made a lot of the present day administration.  The time was at the time of the sun king Louis XVI. He inherited […]

Post Brexit hangover

April 11th, 2017 No comments

Here after Brexit, the hangover, intellectually, have, more or less, gone, and it is time for a new discussion on what comes next.  First of all, the networks of business that the UK has access to are huge, so what is really the problem. The Anglosphere is huge, and plenty of people to do business […]

Strategies

Well, now we have a difficult situation.  First of all, looking at the long term strategic aims, that is first ISIS then China, not being friends with Putin is a bit of a problem.  We got beaten by you mr. Trump, and though mr. Putin did help you, maybe, the amount of cheating to get […]

Making America great again

Ok Donald, I am sorry, I should have been more focused on international politics. I have focused too much on national politics, but I thought that was important too.  What would I advice in this situation? First of all, you had, contrary to everybody in the defense community in the US, actually a good rapport […]

War

The war efforts of the US is not going that well. I think that the US should decide who we are warring.  Is it China or is it Russia. We cannot fight both enemies. We can try, but we do not have the resources to do it.  I understand that mr. Trump needs a positive […]

Family

There are a lot of talk about gender these days. Mr. Pence, vice president of the US has been hauled into a bit of a mess, discussion on his wife, and their relationship. Let us see if we can disentangle ourselves from this mess that moderne gender roles have become. On one side, there is […]

Terror in Russia

I am totally shocked to hear about the terror attack in st. Petersburg. It is, without doubt, a terrible occurrence, and it is with the utmost humility and support from the Danish people, that I do hold the terrorist responsible for a vile attack on the Russian motherland. This is wrong, and I do hope […]

Economics

It seems to me, that we have come far in relation to mr. Trump. He is listening, if we let him. One point I really do think we have to work together with him is economics. He has taken my ideas on production support and put it to good use. If he does that, then […]

Mellem folk

When I initiated my attempt to strengthen European culture, including the US and Russia, it was in a clear understanding that the EU was in decline.  Now ten years after this analysis has been proved right. The EU has lost all credibility and is now not a positive force in the international development. Rather, all […]

United we stand, divided we fall

March 30th, 2017 No comments

Ok, I have finished a small seminar to the possible progress of the Democratic party. First of all, we need to unite, not to be divided. How do we do that? We do it by strengthening the core of the American Republic, the faith, values, what The Us of A is all about. We need […]

The Danish PM

March 30th, 2017 No comments

Well, you have the honour of the presence of the Danish PM these days. Thank you Donald. That was nice of you. He is not much of a positive person in my book. He sacrificed all that was the initial virtues of his party Venstre on the altar of the EU. Venstre was built as […]

Rebuilding our armed forces

March 27th, 2017 No comments

We have to be honest about the build up of islamic state like fighters in Europe. We have had numerous incidents of terror but also findings of weapons caches in mosques. As Erdogan said; the mosque will be the spearhead and the sword. Well as Hitler, if he says that, he probably means it. I […]

Be brave

March 24th, 2017 No comments

After the attack on Westminster, one thing is clear. This problem will not be solved by more money, multiculturalism, inclusiveness or dialogue.  As I have said, numerous times, it is a war, and we are not even fighting it.  To act on this war, we actually have to WANT to fight it.  This requires a […]

France

March 23rd, 2017 No comments

In France the contented ms. Le Pen is in trouble, why? Because the election platform is too narrow.  To fight islamism is good, to support your country is good. But a ticket to the Elysee has to be a bit broader.  I belive, that the antisemitic message is out, and now, hopefully, we can see […]

Terror

March 23rd, 2017 No comments

Things are starting to move in England. As political correctness is faltering, the debate about the trouble and the failure of multiculturalism is starting.  About time one should perhaps notice.  Ideas that are wrong should be criticised, and new ideas should come instead. But at the end of the day, this day of mourning because […]

France

March 22nd, 2017 No comments

France is overrun by extremism; left-wing extremism, right-wing extremism and islamism.  In this difficult hour, it is time to relive what France is. Is it a weak and sick old man, or is it a beautiful country with traditions of the roman era, of the men of north, the spirit of Isis; Paris.  Now I […]

Europe

March 19th, 2017 No comments

In the current conflict between migrants and Europeans, we have two choices, or rather, I suppose we mostly have already chosen.  We can either chose to confront this conflict as an ethnic conflict or as a political conflict.  In Sweden the current environment, which is absolutely devastating, the conflict will, most probably, be ethnic. As […]

E Pluribus Unum

March 18th, 2017 No comments

These days there is a lot of problems politically in the US. The left is trying to undermine the right, and the right really hates the left. Not always, and sometimes it is right, and so on. But the country is split into two warring factions, that do not compromise or try to work together.  […]

I am hopefully going to the US, maybe on behest of the conservatives or the liberals, but there is one thing that I have really realized the last few days.  You need to start, or restart your tradition of philosophy in the US. I mean, I will be happy to be a surrogate for some […]

It is with a great shame, that I see, that the Turkish government are not able to discern between their own government and that of a foreign government.  If turkish citizens happen to be in the Netherlands or in Germany. Then they are not entitled to any part of the democratic waving of Turkey.  If […]

Seminar

March 11th, 2017 No comments

So,  in my attempt of helping the UK,  the development of my little seminar has so far been,  that the conservatives in the US are interested.  Imagine that.   I have given a little thought to that,  and honestly I think that that is a good thing.  Ideas are free in the sense,  that I […]

March 10th, 2017 No comments

There seems to be a lot of discussion and demoralization on the liberal side these days. It is understandable, but it is also a bit embarrasing. At the end of the day, it seems to me to be a kind of regression. The positions of the 68 are celebrated, and the new ideas Barack and […]

Working on a seminar

I have been working quite a bit on a small seminar.  I have wanted to go to Oxford,  but I have had more luck with the US.   This being a small seminar,  I will work on a reemergence of faith in the US.   Faith is the core of a political development,  and it […]

German thought

The basic problem of Westerne thought is the downfall of German metaphysics. In the aftermath of the second world war, the intellectuals of Germany were more concerned with peace work, than with building edifices of metaphysical thought. Still there are interesting things happening in Germany, but the tradition of Prussia is almost lost. Almost, because […]

Unity

Ok, it is pretty sad, that I did not succeed in my project that was to make a peace between Democrats and Republicans. I tried, and as mr. Trump said right after he was elected. He needed the guidance of Obama. Well, I am still here, and I will try my best to soothe the […]

Dirty tricks

Dirty tricks are, unfortunately a part of politics. Alinsky says it quite openly in his book about politics. If you enter politics, you need to be ready for the punches. In Europe, it is the same. Persecution, vilification, sometimes even physical threats. This is why I really admire ms. Hillary Clinton, she is one of […]

Democratic force of Europe

In the current democratic elections, there are specifically two adherents to my prodemocratic philosophy. Mr. Wilders of the Netherland, and ms. le Pen of France. I support you, and not only do I support you. I wholeheartedly believe that you are the future of Europe. Remember the idea behind my philosophy is not a negative, […]

Sweden

Sweden has wanted to be a humanistic country. With this, I really feel that we have a common understanding. In Denmark, I am widely vilified, especially by the other humanists. They see me as a rogue. But as the LEADING humanist, I believe that they are simply too shallow in their understanding of the current […]

Order and chaos

When we talk about enlightenment, we, as I have lectured about, end up in Egypt with the Egyptian sun g-d Ra. But enlightenment is greater than just the fight between light and darkness. Ra had an opponent, the G-d Apap. Apap that is depicted as a snake is defined by darkness and chaos. Ra is […]
