Ok, let me explain some of the reflection behind my ideas on a better society.
When a democracy is born, it is with the best of intentions. The virtues of the ancients are the guiding light of a great nation.
Yet, if we do not remind ourselves of these virtues from time to time, rebel against the lack of virtue, a democracy tends to loose its vibrancy and life.
Justice, solidarity, freedom, wisdom and enlightenment are virtues that need to be polished and implemented. Always renewed in each generation.
Unity is the sum of the respect for these virtues.
That is why I truly believe, that in university we must never forget the light as the beacon of society.
Never forget that love is the thing that binds both spouse and community together.
Wisdom the base of all ingenuity.
Justice as the goddess of law.
We need to remember them as virtues to bring us together in unity.
G-d bless the will to unite.
Kamala, one of the main things Barack and I have been working on after his presidency, has been to try and unite the country.
We truly believe in the virtues of the state. That a healthy state where power is evenly distributed, where the law enforcement work to protect the little guy, where universities and schools work to enlighten the pupils is the way forward.
Yet it all starts with the community. Be it church or any other strong community to keep people together.
Unity is more than just a buzzword, it is the very life blood of the United States of America. That we lift together across creed and political division.
That was the the vision of rev. King, to share what we have, and keep the dream alive in the unity of the state and society.
In these days of division and trench warfares, those who seek to find common ground are the ones who make the Democracy work.
G-d bless the unity of the United States of America.
Ok, I guess I am enrolled in the democratic camp.
So, how do we win?
First of all, why did we loose the last time? I think it was because Hillary just didn’t get the economic points she needed to get over the finish line.
We focused a lot on new ideas. Hillary had this beautiful idea about a good society is a healthy person in a healthy family, in a healthy town.
It just didn’t work.
When I won with Barack, we deserved a second term, based on the results we had done, but we launched some massive new ideas, like the focus on China, getting our production home, the energized focus on Made in America and so on.
So, I truly believe, that the difficult thing this time will be to reach out to the blue collar workers, that are the swing workers.
Joe had a pretty obvious head start here being a union guy.
So that base HAS to be covered. An idea could be to make an inverse running mate so that the vp will be a Joe Biden like type. That is another union guy.
In this way both young female voters, the Martin Luther King crowd AND the union is covered. It’s an important balance to find.
Maybe someone who truly understands the problems of the workers.
G-d bless the will to find balance.
All right, let’s see if we can untangle the situation in the Middle East.
The Iranian/Russian side have shown some real muscle. The attack on the Druze village, the torture of a hostage and the threat of using some of the real dangerous wmd’s on the battlefield.
This is an EXTREMELY dangerous escalation. We are standing just at the brink of a nuclear war.
If Iran uses the wmd through Hezbollah, then Israel needs to retaliate in the same manner and the whole dynamics is apparent.
This is getting out of hand.
However, so far it is on the brink, and we can still wield the treaty to stop the war.
That is really the Iranians putting the gun to the table playing chicken. That is who fires first.
The consequences of that is world war three.
G-d bless the will to avoid world war three.
One of the main issues, that we somehow have to wrap our heads around is the INTERNAL debates we need to have around the cultures of our democracies.
Mr. Biden made a wonderful example of how politics is supposed to work; selfless, ethical with an amazing character.
So that is a good start. Yet, deeper in our cultures, there are issues that we need to work on as well. In many countries around the world divorce statistics are skyrocketing, our academia is not focused on finding truth and we have lost faith.
The INNER working in our societies is about the ethical make up of world.
We need to work on how we do our societies. Make them more honest, faithful, romantic.
That is really the hard work. What we are working on right now is the symptoms of the deeper problems that are essentially demoralization of our societies.
That is my message to the EU. The redemption of the project lie in a more virtuous conduct. Be better persons as Mr. Biden, he has shown us the way. His example is there to follow.
G-d bless the will to be good men and women and treat each other with honesty, integrity and sacrifice.
Well, what is really the way to find balance between the federal as well as the national state?
First and foremost, it is, for the federal level a matter of showing the citizens of the European Union, that it makes sense.
What is it, that the federal level can give the peoples of Europe.
When you are a successful artist, you get an audience. In music it’s casual listeners, fans and so on.
So automatically, you start trying to play to your fanbase. You keep an eye on how they react to your new music, and off cause you expand your repertoire to include new listeners.
That is a healthy artistic development.
If you do not have any listeners, more often than not you build this weird world, where you rationalize yourself to be “avant garde” and try to tell yourself, that the reason you do not have any listeners are everyone else fault but yourself.
The direction of your art takes on all kind of weird ways. I have seen modern dancers looking like flamingos and parakeets.
The same goes to academics. Most academics do not have any real connection to the people, and makes all kinds of nonsense.
Get my point?
The EU needs to 1. Get directly in contact with the peoples of EU. 2. Be relevant to the peoples of EU.
Van Gogh had this method he used, when he did his paints. He imagined a huge audience around him applauding him when he painted.
The same goes for the EU. Start pushing yourself to SEE an audience around you.
To have success, you need to serve that audience. That is how democracies work. Any kind of powers are dependent on the applause of the fans they serve.
Figure that out, and you are going in the right direction.
First of all, get rid of all the things people are really annoyed with.
G-d bless the will to SERVE the citizens of the EU.
All right, one of the main issues of the EU is the economy.
The commission is using my ideas in this regard. Which is, essentially to be realistic about the competition that comes from China. China uses all kinds of tricks to build their economy.
A good example is the ev market that these days are flooded with cheap cars. To root out the European competition. So when the competition is rooted out, prices goes up.
It is essentially a malign kind of mob capitalism.
So we counter it, by targeting the the markets that the Chinese are gunning for, and put up trade barriers. It is against free market theory. Yet free markets are build on the presumption that all play by the book. China is not playing by the book, so we need to adapt.
Also, we need to invest in the producers we have. This implies risk, because state supported industries tend to loose capitalist muscles.
So there is a balance there.
Now, then we come to the renewed ATTITUDE I propose for the commission.
So far investment has been stamped with a big EU on it.
Turn that around and HELP the nationstates with their troubles. Do not ask for a lot in return.
Just give and then move on.
Accept that a lot of business is very patriotic.
Just give anyway, unconditionally.
That is how you win over hearts and minds.
G-d bless the will to make a new day for the European countries.
Benyamin, that was an amazing speech, no doubt about it. The vibrant points, the historical links and most important, the renewed friendship between Israel and the US.
Very, very good.
I heard, that before the speech, there has been rumors about a peace treaty, so that aspect was not IN the speech, but you mentioned it before, so that was the balance we are looking for.
It is quite strengthening for your position, and with that, you have a bit more room for maneuvering.
So, hopefully this war comes to an end soon. I at least have been praying for that for a long time.
A REALISTIC, long term solution that will hopefully prevent another 7 October.
So, we will get through with this.
G-d bless the will to make Israel secure, and G-d bless the United States of America.
Joe, it really a shame that you end your term, yet I understand, and the way you have done it, is just admirable.
What is at the core of a Democracy? It is honesty, integrity, putting your nation above yourself.
These qualities, are essential for a democracy to work. Especially when things are not looking good.
You do exemplify these virtues, and I hope, that your example will inspire a new generation to come.
Well done Joe, you have been one of the best presidents of the United States of America.
G-d bless you, your family and your future.
Ok, so I have been reflecting over the EU. I know, that we have to get the process going, both the National as well as the Federalists are getting a bit impatient.
I do apologize, the reason why I have been unfocused on the issue, is simply my situation. It is very difficult to make political progress, when you are hard pressed, for different reasons.
So, maybe this pressure is lessening, and I can focus on trying to make a new plan for the EU?
If not, then we are really in trouble.
Anyway, there are actually several issues we have to figure out at once.
First issue is migration. I know, that it is a very difficult issue, yet, we have to figure out a way to make things work.
It is essentially a matter of balance. At one end, the democratic system has be to respected, and the other end the law and the civil rights has to be respected.
If the current system goes in the opposite direction of what it is doing today, it will bring a lot of problems with the migrants.
So a BALANCED view of migration is paramount.
I mean, migrants are people. Sometimes, migrants do not respect the law or our democratic institutions, that is not ok, and consequently the punishment for not respecting these institutions should be severe; remigration. Yet a perfectly lawful citizen, that work within the confines of our laws, should be respected.
This dual approach will make things simmer down, at least, this has been the case in Denmark. The same goes for the US, when things are more under control.
So this is really the core issue.
At the same time, we need to strengthen the nationstates AND the federal level, where it makes sense.
Energy is a political priority that makes sense to support a federal level strengthening, if the EU makes its own energy, it makes the continent much more secure in wartimes.
There is also a political constructional level, we have to think about. The qualities of the nationstate, like the royal houses and other specific national institutions should be secure.
If the EU wants to be accepted, it has to be a success.
So what we should do now, is look a bit for the potential successes.
G-d bless the will to make progress in the EU.
So, my debate on the mix that the system of law is doing of politics into the law system seems to have made its way into the American election. Robert F. Kennedy jr. is taking about Snowden, and I guess that Trump is pretty keen on getting the system to respect his candidacy.
I hope that Ms. Harris is also open to a discussion in the health of the public law system.
When the police starts to mix law enforcement and political aims, things unravel. The citizens loose faith in the system and new ideas are hard to present to the public. Because the police are all over the censorship of the new ideas.
If we are ambitious on the health of our humanistic democracies, this has to be turned around.
The citizens should rest in the faith that the police and prosecutors work for the little guy, to protect the weak, not put up barriers for new ideas and serious journalism.
When I got my tv station closed, it was just after I published a documentary on some of the problems we have with people who have their children taken by the system. It is not working, and parents loose their connection to their children, it is heart wrenching.
Instead of supporting this criticism, the government closed the tv station with a lame excuse.
So this is what we journalists have as realities, something I honestly think is a wrong direction of our societies.
Journalism is there to support the weak, and parents that loose their children to an often cynical system, are weak.
To stop this criticism because it made too much fuss, is not in the interest of the citizens, and they are rightfully angry about it.
So maybe some of the humanistic democrats out there will try to support a development, where criticism of the state and bad things in the state is not put down, but supported.
G-d bless the will to protect the weakest of our society.
All right, so there is a new nominee for the liberal camp in the US. Ms. Kamala Harris, she is very good, so let’s see how we may make some kind of manifesto that will make sense in the US.
In the UK Mr. Starmer is working old school Obamanism. It seems to work quite well for him, yet there are some signs, that the under class is not cool about his heavy handed take on migration.
There is a BALANCE between tough migrations rules, and a serious support for civil rights.
In Denmark it works, as well as in the US, because everyone knows, that if you play within the rules, work hard, respect the law, have good and sound families, you are not in trouble.
If you do not respect the law, then you are in trouble.
So, at one side, we have to be realistic about uncontrolled migration, at the other side, we should protect the rights of the citizens of any color and creed, as long as they respect the system.
That is the problem in Leeds, where some kids were taken by the police. It is disrespectful to the people living there and smells of a heavy handed attention to all migrants. It’s a very difficult balance.
Yet if you get that right, people will vote you in. At least this is my experience here in Denmark, where the current PM were popular because of this balance, and was gutted, when she left that balance.
The same goes for the EU, that also need to find a balance somehow. It is much more complicated in the EU, but it is the same basic conflict.
Getting the police to play along is also a challenge, they have no clue as to what is really going on, and are a major problem, because of their immoral and lawless behavior.
That is also something we have to get working.
So, my best advice is, find the rights balances and you will win.
Good luck Kamala ☺️
G-d bless the will to make Change.
Joe, I am so so sorry. I wish I have had the energy and focus to support you some more. I feel partially responsible. If I had the focus, maybe I could have pulled you through.
Though to be honest, it is definitely wiser to pull the stops now. To be realistic about your energy is the most responsible.
At the end of the day, it is not your policies that is wrong, it is your energy and ability to take all those fights that are in the political debates and so on.
For whatever it is worth, it has been a pure honor to be your friend. We are still friends, yet to serve you over the years, has just been a delight.
We agree on most issues, and your fight for America, unity, the blue collar worker, the American economy has been really inspiring.
So well done, you have done more than most to support a prosperous and happy United States of America. Your are the best.
G-d bless the United States of America.
Well, we need to get the police under control. They have been persecuting me, and are obviously busy persecuting people they think are not good for society.
Essentially I have no idea why they are doing this. Political control has no place in a democratic society.
Tyrannies and dictatorships are home for police control of public opinion. Humanistic democracies are home for free speech and let the arguments control the development of society.
My role, as a motivator and architect of new ways to make a political society is THE most important for a democratic society. I do not say this to be better than anyone, but to put in contrast the way the police is harassing me with the critical function I serve.
I doesn’t make any sense to anyone but the police, and it only makes sense to them, because they have very little insight into how our societies work on a political level.
If you put a milkman as responsible to run a real estate agency, what do you get? You get incompetence.
The police is not skilled in the fineries of politics and as a result they ruin the political world with all their hard handed methods of putting people in jail and harassing people they do not like.
So what do we do to stop this absurd nonsense?
We cut their budgets.
If they persecute politicians, journalists, intellectuals, or any other who are working within the frames of law to debate, create new ideas or criticize elements of society that are wrong in any way. As a consequence, their budget should be cut.
My advise would be to start with the cyber departments. These parts move all over the place, and rarely within the framework of the law.
G-d bless the will to make a functioning society where the police do what they are supposed to do, which is to protect the weak.
I have been on the sharp end of governmental persecution for many, many years. It can be worse, I know a guy who has been in and out of prisons for putting up provocative stickers and another one who have just been sentenced to 1 1/2 year of prison because he put some paint on a painting.
So the treatment I have been dished out is not as bad. I am mostly harassed with economical control. Trying to make my economy suffer as much as possible.
So this is obviously illegal and not a way to treat intellectuals and journalists.
It seems to me, that there is a mellowing coming about, Assange has been freed, and there is an end to the harsh treatment of Trump.
So the question is, how do we hinder these system abuses and illegal operations of the police. Usually it is the police that is behind the abuse.
One of the tools that is in the toolbox is the ombudsman.
That is originally a Danish institution, and it works by protecting the rights of the citizens.
I know that the Danish ombudsman is aware of my predicament, and there may be a process to look into the censorship of my person and some of the projects I have been a part of by the ombudsman.
It is not an all in solution to get rid of the abuse of our demoralized police, but it is one tool, that may stem some of the abuse that is being carried out by the system of law, when it crosses the line of law enforcement and political control.
Political control by the police is illegal, by all parameters, and we need to stop this before it hurts more people.
G-d bless the will to make a serious and much better police that refrains from political control.
All right, so we are kind nearing the end of one crisis, and we need to help at another place to make things work.
My feeling is, that mr. Netanyahu will start the peace process for real next Wednesday. He is addressing the congress in the US, and that kind of news will get him a round of applause.
It has been incredibly tough with all the pressure, and the angst building up, but we are getting through it.
There will be discussion on the pre 7´th of October, yet if it turns out to be a peace deal, that we all can live with, the image of mr. Netanyahu will be not ok, but all in all he will go down in history as the great statesman he truly is.
He is really, really good, and he deserves all the applause we can give him.
This means, that I will be in a position to win the Nobel peace price. We will see, yet it should be given to me.
Anyway, then I have to change focus, and start focusing on the EU.
I have given it a bit of thought as to how we should work on it, and I guess I have an idea, that I will try and get in contact with the commission to lay out, and hear of they are interested in that.
There has to be a pay day for me in it, somehow.
That is just the way it, so we will hopefully be able to develop and kind of new balance between the federal and the national level.
The idea of making that balance, has taken root in the system, so we need to work on a bit more, and do a federal wide discussion with the different players to find the perfect match.
It can be done, and do have some ideas up my sleeve. I have just written a book about the perfect society, to kind of warm me up to the process, yet there is a lot of theoretical discussion I have to have with some of the players of the EU, and national players as well.
Hopefully this will be in tandem with a positive development of Israel, so that we work on the advancement and solidifying of Israel as a state. To be united.
So these are kind of my time plan.
G-d bless the will to do good, act good and have good thoughts.
All right, I know that my endeavors into the realm of love is not exactly high profile politicking, yet it seems to me, that a lot of my readers are really into it.
Love is essentially a subject that never goes out of style. Why worry about AI, when you can worry about the rich and amazing life you can get, if you find someone you REALLY love?
I mean, you would be a fool not to worry about love, love is one the only true qualities in life, that is all just good for us.
Seen from a masculine point of view, what is that we men have to worry about to find someone? Is it only for the rich and beautiful?
I always come back to my mums story, she was lonely for so many years, and then she found Jørgen when she went to wash clothes in the communal laundromat.
She was old and had most all her beauty, Jørgen looked like a cannon ball, all round everywhere. Yet, he was just such a wonderful person. And that is really what it comes down to, how are you as a person. Are you a selfish, self-absorbed person, or are you are giving, strong and positive person.
And are you able to carry your positive lifestyle into a relationship. That is, are you able to keep being that positive, supportive and wonderful person IN the relationship.
We men like to have careers, and conquer the world. So, we also need a woman, that will support our fights.
At a more material level, women are just as obsessed with your looks as we men are. We men see a pair of big boobs, and that fascinates us, dont get me wrong, women are just the same.
I know it from my dancing, women go crazy over a man with six pack, and if he can dance, she goes even more crazy. The looks.
Why is it, that Johnny Depp is so popular. He is a very cool artist, yet what is REALLY cool about that guy, is that he has this amazing style.
The same with Axl Rose, he has style as well, and women go crazy about that.
So, to get closer to a beautiful woman, get stylish, find your own style, exaggerate a little, but not too much.
Women are also crazy about intelligence. That is something that is a little different from men to women. We men CAN live with a girl with big boobs that is not smart. Women can’t live with that. Intelligence is what attracts them the most.
So when you are IN the relation, shower her with your wit and good head. Give her your attention, evolve with her, support her in her own emotional development. Give her of yourself, so that she feels that your relationship is evolving, sound and brings here somewhere.
Women are all into discussing with their friends about men, they super analyze the most minute detail, so you are ALWAYS on display.
What YOU bring into the relationship is ethics.
Women are crazy about a real man, and real men are not those who fight and destroy things haphazardly. Real men are those few individuals who have integrity and are ready to fight for what they believe in.
Like, girls are dreaming about the knight on the white horse, saving them. So is this dream all about the shining armor? Yes to a point, but truly it is about the ethical make up of the knight. His integrity, his fight to make a better world, protect the small guys.
That is the true attraction of women to the knight with the shining armor.
So these are my tips of finding a sprite of a woman, someone you can spend your life with.
It is NEVER too late.
G-d bless the will to find true love.
You know, when you make ideas and propose new developments of society, then more often than not, it just falls apart, and you become a failure.
The EU is experiencing this moment right now. Most of the ideas that it is based on, just doesn’t work. I am not saying this to be negative, it is just how politics work.
The open borders, the migration over the borders, the economical politics that has been so far has been a failure. Now the EU is running my ideas economically, the “Bidennomics” that is really my take on economy, that works. It works. It will make the European Union a success, economically.
So, what is really the reason why this is how it is?
It’s because, as in most other endeavors we humans do, there is a fine line between amateurism and professionalism. Yet, the big guys in any kind of field, will be the artists.
The true artist, will take a field, and excel because of a supernatural skill in many fields at once. Take Lady Gaga for instance, she is hard working, essential pretty humble, a dancer, she plays the piano, she looks good, and is an amazing singer. Add to this, she can go into any kind of genre, and just do it. I mean, the ability and skill of going on one day to work with Andrea Bocelli and do opera, the next day she headbangs together with Metallica, not to mention Rolling Stones. She does it, without tooting her horn. That is a true artist.
The same goes with the Barcelona cathedral, that I am a big fan of. Gaudi, just blended engineering with sacred geometry and a radically new architectural expression.
It’s just stunning in its level of skill.
Politics is the same, we are not many true artiest and avant-garde thinkers, because it’s either impossible to do, because if you are avantgarde in politics, the police will try to silence you.
And to be at university to do politics in a truly artistic level is impossible. Maybe it can be done in Oxford or Princeton, but even those schools find it hard to really be roomy enough for true political artistry. There is actually only Vallekilde back, my family Højskole, so that is where I come from, the leading school of the world.
Anyway, maybe this understanding of what is going on, is a cause for acceptance. New ideas are difficult to wrap your heads around when they are introduced, yet when they are realized, they stand in all their glory. Like Elon and all his brilliancy.
That guy is just a good friend and an amazing creator.
G-d bless the will to make a better world, based on true artistry.
We are at this pivotal moment in politics. For the last 15 years, I have, more or less, run the show in coming up with new ideas to how we should change politics.
It has come to a point, where everybody is kind of doing my game.
First of all, this is not a “yes I did it!” Moment, it is; maybe, just maybe, are we able to salvage our democracies out of the impeding doom.
Plato says this quite severely and openly. After Democracy gets to its final phase of demoralization, ethical degrading, it turns from Democracy to Tyranny.
THAT is what I have, personally, fought to avoid, that is what we philosophers are supposed to do. It is not a hubris kind of machinational ego driven movement I have been a part of. On the contrary, I have payed a very heavy price for my job getting done.
I like remodeling cars you know. I like the craftsmanship that goes into taking a an old good looking car, and remodeling it to be modern and well working.
That is how I see theories of politics. You take this beautiful, well working yet old car that is rusty in some places, that needs an engine upgrade, needs some work on the fuel injection part of the engine and so. Then after making som bold moves, we get this amazing car, to run at full speed again.
You could call my work the Rubicon garage.
So really I am not a revolutionary in the sense, that I do all things new and shiny. No, I adore the system we have already, and I am trying to make it a little better. Get the creaks out of the system, mend the fenders, where they may be broken.
I truly hope, now when even the guardians of the Democracy, that may have THOUGHT that I was going to break the system, realizes, that this is not about breaking anything, or making it into something that is worse or untested. No, this is a paint and carbon fiber job. It’s a mod, not a new car.
It keeps all the virtues and good things of the old car, and tries to remake the car into something that actually work, and make it a little better.
So, that is really the aim of my work, and I hope, eventually everybody will appreciate it.
G-d bless the will to make our democracies work again.
I think we need to understand the complexity of the gender debate, to truly understand, why and what we are supposed to do in this day and age.
The virtue is equality. Equality is virtue of gender, at least it has been this since Karl Marx deduced it from the platonic lore he read, and some of the descriptions that he read about Sparta, that is the ideal polis (city state) of communism.
Plato was, in some ways (not all) a fan of Sparta, something he got from questioning his world (that was why Socrates was sentenced to death), so he describes his ideal society as inspired by Sparta.
In Sparta, that was a Scandinavian city (descendants of the sea peoples that roamed the Mediterranean some thousand years before Christ), men and women were very equal. This tradition was something that Sparta had kept as a tradition all the way back from their founding.
In many ways, the Spartan society was a Viking society, men and women were not kept for a long time in family structures, and their children went to schools at an early age (that is the ideal behind our welthfare states, they are inspired by the Spartan agoge system.)
Plato was, as always, quite deep in his understanding of this system (Athenians are also descendants of the sea peoples, according to Wilhelm Gronbech), he philosophizes about this equality, and argues, that it creates harmony (the same idea that is behind progressive tax).
This point had really eluded Marx, who have never written about harmony in gender.
Marx was a quack in many ways, he had some good analysis, but his ideas are quite shallow. He does not understand the world he talks about, and he misses a lot of the basic points in the philosophies.
Anyway, equality has the aim of HARMONY. At the same time, Plato has a whole beautiful philosophy about love, so there is really no conflict between platonic love and equality in between men and women. Plato made up both ideas.
G-d bless the will to truly understand the theories behind the gender debate.
So Axl Rose kind of hit me on my Facebook page.
I get it, it makes sense, we are both rock stars. Off cause, Axl Rose is much more than me, there is no doubt, yet my art form is greatly influenced by my own experience as a rock musician.
I think that the ENERGY of music has to be a part of the written word. I ALWAYS do first takes.
So the issue is women, again, I guess. The subject that we men NEVER tire of.
Mr. Rose has a beautiful story to tell about a sprite of a beautiful woman, that once stole his heart.
Stealing a man’s heart is not easy, as Emma Watson say to Ron; you men have feelings and imagination that fill the space of a teaspoon.
That is one of the bridges that we have to span. How do we men understand the fair gender? When we understand, that they are complex, and hence have a complex understanding of our relationship, then we truly understand some of women.
So how do we then handle this complexity? We give them the emotional space they need to unfold all their emotions.
As Sting say, if you love someone, set them free.
The freedom they need to unfold all their complex emotions, is inspiring for us men.
Women are amazing, and when we give ourselves the opportunity to really get to know them and reflect their emotions, we get this perfect relationship.
We as men, have to open up for emotions of women. To truly be inspired.
G-d bless the will to see the beauty of women.
It seems to me, that there is this moment of reconciliation and recognition of our political opponents.
Maybe, just maybe we can set aside the perceived differences for a time, and find some unity.
If we look at the content of the political divide, there is not much difference.
We have to get the borders under control. We have to focus on a patriotic blue collar defense of the union worker. We have to make our economy work again and we have to get the challenge with China under control.
Based on my last book, I am also arguing for a renaissance within media, science, and the legal system.
I have put up some ideals and recommend an ETHICAL development within the state, so that I renews itself.
Not to point fingers at anyone, to make sure that our democracy is alive, vibrant and is able to survive these new challenges. We should be a better version of ourselves, remember the revolutionary zeal for virtue, human rights, illumination, justice, solidarity and essentially a society that is left better than what we inherited.
Make a better world. As they used to say, at the very beginning of my journey. United we stand divided we fall.
G-d bless the will to unite under the banner of good, solidarity, justice and illumination.
These are my own experience with living under a lot of stress due to my political work.
I have a lot of enemies. Some covert, some open. The current foreign minister is an enemy and I have entertained you with my experience with the PET, the secret service.
First of all. It is a choice, if you enter into politics, it’s just a premis of your work. Especially in the higher layers of politics. Putin lives with a constant death sentence hanging over him. So does the PM of Israel, Trump and many more.
Essentially I have learned to live with it. It is the price of doing politics on the highest level.
Secondly, I am REALISTIC about the world around me. The PET are not friends, they never will be. But they can be made into some kind of partners, sometimes.
Thirdly, politics is like a sea, it ebbs and flows. Sometimes you are riding high, sometimes you are low. That is just the nature of politics. So when you are riding high, you make a lot of friends, help all you can. So when there is a low, your friends come to your aid.
Then there is another high, and so on.
Fourthly, to be on the highest level, you HAVE to be paranoid, yet at the same time REALISTIC. You may have an idea, that someone is hunting you, make sure to check it out. It has to be verified, somehow
Fifthly, when people hunt you, don’t be all angry and revengeful. More often than not, that is exactly the reaction your enemy is looking for. They want to control you, by controlling your anger.
Sixthly, stock your weapons. In the beginning I could always blog on issues that I were afraid of, influence the world opinion and so on. The problem with that is, that you are seen as a troublemaker. I still call out my enemies sometimes, but I have a host of weapons, that I apply according to the threat. Mostly, when an enemy get a slap over the wrist, they stop and I can get on with my life.
Seventhly, keep up keeping up. Don’t let the political fight get you down. Keep your good vibe, be happy, supportive, a good friend. If you loose your good humor, it’s not worth it. I really like Saranskys way, he got up every morning and sang to his hearts content.
Eightly, keep your goals positive. Don’t get caught up in the machinations of power. Steer towards something that will make the world a better place.
Ninthly, build alliances. I thought the MOSSAD would have protected me, when the PET were really after me. They didn’t, but the EU did, and the communists. If I hadn’t been positive and helpful to either, I would have been dead by now. But because I supported them both, they helped back, when I needed it.
The saying goes, that you should build your house on stone ground and not on sand. Stoneground is the relations you have. If they are good, you will prevail, if they bad you will be blown away by the first of storms, and the storm always come.
Tenthly, be clear with yourself why you are into politics. If your reasons are not right, do something else. I do it, not because of honor, honor is a fleeting thing. Not because of money, somehow money eludes me. I do it, because I love to do it. It’s what I really like to do. The challenge in figuring the best solution, the ability to use my knowledge, the joy in seeing a plan come to fruition and work, the joy in working with some of the best politicians in the world, and the ethical mission, making a better world.
So, these are my experiences.
G-d bless the will to work in politics and make a better world.
Beneath the Torah there seems to be a layer of wisdom, that we have to apply in this war, to make sense of it all.
Jews are far away descendants of a diaspora from Scandinavia, so some of the ancient lore of the Scandinavians are possible lore to make for a base of reflection in this day and age as well.
In the north, the lore is kept in the wisdom of the runes.
The Nordic Thorah is the Runes.
One of the letters of the runes is the letter Ur or Urz. It represents the ox, or rather the ancient wild ox that was prevalent in the north many thousands of years ago.
It is contrasted with the letter fehu, that represents the domesticated cattle.
The wild auroch was admired for its strength, power and were untamable.
Both physical strength as well as emotional and spiritual strength.
On one hand the untamed strength is a powerful engine towards a goal.
Yet the message of Ur as a rune is also, that we have to “tame” the energy so that the energy can be directed to a place that is beneficial for all.
It is in a way a reflection on the sephirot strictness and mercy.
Yet it talks to the nature of the Jewish people. We have this raw strength that is devastating, if we loose it upon the world, as we have done numerous times. Torn down empires.
There is however a reflection on the aim of civilization in opposition to raw strength that we have to do.
When to be civilized and when to fight.
That is how you win wars.
G-d bless the will to get the hostages back, and develop as a people in the process. Get to know ourselves better.
Why is it, that we are not going into the peace negotiations with a clear mission to get hostages back?
I get it, there is the motivation to destroy Hamas. Yet, why? What is the end goal? What if we destroy Hamas, will that make us safer?
We have destroyed empires, yet we have never been safe.
My point is, we need to UNDERSTAND our anger in order for us to do the actions that will, in all rationality and within reason makes Israel safe.
If we loose the aim of this war, and let our anger lead us, we will not get to a better place.
There is time for revenge, yet revenge served on a cold plate is said to taste better.
My point is, that we have to get JUSTICE we also have to understand what that justice is.
G-d bless the will to take a step back and get real in the peace negotiations.
Oh my g-d political violence, again.
First of all, I know exactly how you feel Mr. Trump, I have myself been through the same for the last 15 years. I have managed to survive, but the rest of my friends have either been shot, put in jail or silenced in some other way.
I came to the fore at the same time as Breibart, and he is dead. My friend Lars Vilks is dead. One of my friends I going to jail for 1 1/2 years for a minor offense and so on.
This renaissance is so violent.
But my experience is at the same time, that you just have to keep on going on.
So what is really at stake here?
First of all, what we in the middle of, is a change of direction. I have kind of been the general in this movement, so I know the ups and downs.
If you compare to the time of Martin Luther King and a young Kennedy, it was the same. Even though rev. King was for non violence, the system didn’t like him, so he was probably killed in a conflict with them.
I am not sure, but that is how things are right now, so it’s probably the same then. He was in jail and so on.
After that we put statues of him, but in his own life he was a martyr.
The thing is, a new political movement has to go from the rebellious state to being institutionalized as fast as possible, to make all the blood and mayhem as little as possible.
That was the idea behind my own tv station TV freedom. It was an attempt at institutionalizing the movement.
It didn’t work, but it will eventually. That is just how these movements are.
It’s also the idea behind my support to the social democrats. It is an attempt at institutionalizing the movement.
It can go horribly wrong and end up in a revolution. That is when the system does not open up for the new developments.
This is very probable in places like Denmark, where it is adamant in violently beating down the new development.
While as in the UK, Mr. Starmer is realizing these ideas peacefully.
So coming back to Mr. Trump. The best thing we can do, is to accept him.
G-d bless the will to incorporate the new ideas and make the a part of our institutions.
Ok, let’s have a look on the current development in the political sphere.
My last book “Eden” seems to have an impact on the whole “post war” discussion in Israel. How do we make sure, that Israelis do not divulge into pit fights, and the unity that was created in the aftermath of 7’th October, how do we keep that movement going.
It comes down to knowledge of the virtues of the state; justice, wisdom, enlightenment and love or solidarity.
To get the different arms of the state to work better will propel the state of Israel to be on a more well functioning mode.
We have to work on our legal system, make it more just, on our scientific institutions, make them more enlightening, also media has to be serving the light, if it has to work.
I know that my point of departure is mainly Platonic, yet the sources of Plato are the same as all the Jewish legal debate principle. There is some difference in some of the principles, yet the basic point, that the legal system is a tool of justice is the same in Jewish law as in platonic law and there is off cause room for discussion.
We HAVE to be better at the state implementing just, fair and morally clean solutions because that is the problem, at least seen from a platonic perspective, that we are moving into an age of moral corruption, and we need to pulling out bootstraps up, to make the state work again.
This goes for politics as well, we need good servants of the state to be at the head of the states. People who put their country above themselves and SERVE.
In the UK Mr. Starmer has had a brilliant start on the whole debate, and it seems to me, that the UK can be a serious renaissance leader with Mr. Starmer. Mr. Starmer is talking about the positive impact of being a good servant, serving good. So the UK could be a world leader in politics. He has had a good start.
This feeds into the EU debate. Instead of seeing the nation states as competitors see them as something that the federal level should work with and for.
The cleaner the commission gets morally, the better it can be a positive partner. All the secrecy, the lack of transparency and so on must be worked on, to be an example.
So, focus on GOOD.
G-d bless the will to serve the littlelest in our societies.
Well, I have been pondering the possibility to make a film a bit more. These are some of my reflections.
First of all, the setting could be a voyage. One of the main themes of story telling has been the voyage of going from somewhere to somewhere. The Odyssey one of the first stories of the sailor going from challenge to challenge. But from a more modern perspective, there is the stories of Joseph Conrad. Again a compilation of yarns and stories with a deep psychological theme beneath it. The voyage down the river to the heart of darkness, discussing the sides of man that was revealed under the western colonization of the world.
The sea is a both feminine as well as potent companion, full of mystery and danger yet also of incredible beauty.
Hemingway also had some of his best works as a dialogue with a fisherman trying to get a big catch back to his village.
Maybe that could be the setting; the sea, it gives room for a lot of drama, and it could kind of tie into the love story.
Then about character building, I mean, I am an international warrior/philosopher and I am dating the crown princess of Spain. So I mean, there is a lot of room for a funny and really deep character building there. The inspiration is there. Add to this, the adversary, the PET which is a KGB like institution in Denmark that is pure evil, makes for a real life bad guy, that is more evil than anyone can imagine.
Off cause we should be careful and not name the persons in real wording, because that would mean, that the PET would start harrowing the project.
So we then need a story.
That would be some of the questioning, a discussion on background music. A classical driven background theme could be an idea.
That could have a potential in creating a new direction in the gender debate.
G-d bless the will to find a new and more positive way for our love lives.
When we talk about Hollywood, and my ambition to make a film. I truly believe, that it has to have something to do about love, romance and finding that person that truly lifts us up.
We have been through a long movement of Meetoo, which has, in many ways been amazing and truly positive.
Yet after a fight, there should also be a time of healing.
What we need now is healing. We need to find each other again, and truly connect.
Here the platonic soul mate ideals are a path we can take.
These ideals are just eternal and beautiful.
So maybe make a movie about that? It would probably push all the right buttons with the audience as well, and Plato really gives a lot of depth and understanding to these issues.
It moves on a very, very high theoretical level and at the same time, it is both practical as well and easily understandable if you tell it in the right way.
So hit me an offer to copilot a manuscript. I have mostly worked in journalism/documentary in Denmark, yet I know most of the craft, and have a story to tell, so I could probably help make a really good movie.
G-d bless the will to find healing in love again.
These are my reflections on the issue of the Haredi draft.
My angle is the historical philosophical. Where do we Jews come from, and hence, how can we siphon some kind of understanding concerning a certain issue.
We Jews are coming from Scandinavia, originally, at least this is my own conclusion after doing a lot of research. Scandinavians have raided the Mediterranean since time immemorial. Some of the latest settlements are the Rus in Kiev, that has given us Russia.
Jews come from an earlier wave, that was commenced in around the time of Abraham. Some call it the sea peoples, because of the ability to sail.
There are stories about a kinship between the citystate Sparta and Jews. The city state Sparta was Viking as Athens.
So at the root of Jewish culture lie this raider/warrior mentality that is seen unfolding to its classical theme in the Gaza war, with anger and revenge as some of the motifs.
That is how we Vikings act, with anger, revenge, war and mayhem.
You can also see it reflected in the pantheon of Jewish angels. The Jewish angels are both pretty and raw.
Take the angel Thehyagrah that work destruction. The archangel Michael, another warrior angel.
So war is an integral part of Jewish lore, culture and religion.
Take Moses that was a destroyer with the ten plagues.
Now, this is the tradition. And that is why we are so good at fighting, it’s an integral part of Jewish lore.
Some say, that we are the best.
Yet, seen from an ethical perspective, you could first see it from a Viking perspective. That is, at least from what I have understood from the fishermen here in Denmark, who are the remnants of Vikings in Denmark and also from understanding the runes. Anger needs to be UNDERSTOOD in order for it to work. That is what has been our downfall in this war. We let the anger lead us, Instead of listening to the anger and then act strategically.
Yet seen from a more modern perspective, you can see the ethical reflections in the tree of Kabbbalah at the left side, you have the pillar of severity and at the other side the pillar of mercy.
So you could argue, that there is a BALANCE In between severity, that is punishment and strictness and mercy that is acceptance and understanding.
In other words, the tree of life has this balance incorporated and is then a more advanced ethical concept than war, revenge and fighting.
So, to conclude. We are warriors, we have always been warriors and will always be warriors. As a new thing we have this punishing army, and we need to find that balance between Geburah (severity) and Chesed (mercy).
This is, from my perspective, that underlying ethical ideas and reflections you can use on the Haredi draft. War has always been here, the question is, how do we find BALANCE.
G-d bless the will to find balance in the war against Hamas.
Ok, let’s see, if we can analyze on the current situation in Israel.
First of all, Gallant seems to head the government now. It’s his ideas that are implemented. Netanyahu wanted to excempt the Haredi in the military, Gallant was against, so now there is a Haredi enrollment.
When Israel communicates with the US it is Gallant and not Netanyahu.
Netanyahu is really marginalized in his own government.
At the other side, the Palestinian Arab are really feeling the heat, and are close to calling in. That must be said, that that is due to Netanyahu. So in a way it is a bit unfair, that Netanyahus policies seem to work, and he is getting more and more unpopular.
So I am not picking sides, just stating the obvious and I think we need to give Bibi a break.
He is hard pressed, yet he is actually getting things done. Despite all the pressure from around the world.
G-d bless the will to see clearly in a foggy war.
Ok, I have just watched the inauguration speech of Mr. Starmer, well done. That was actually an inspiring and beautiful speech.
I have really tried to figure out, how to keep our democracies healthy and sound.
So, together with Barack, we have kind of made a utopia in the sense, that what we believe will have to drive Change is an ethical renewal or renaissance within civil service.
The virtues of the all the arms of the state has to be renewed. A more just police, a sharper and more progressive scientific institutions, better media, all based on a secure and sound community.
We have been going the wrong way for some time. Having a more just state will reinstate the trust from the public in public institutions.
There is one point, that I have come to understand, through my own fight to give those of little a voice.
A society must be judged by the wealthfare of those who have the least.
The abandoned, the poor, those who does not have much.
People with little means are often most dependent on the state. More often that not the state is arrogant. At least to my experience.
Here in Denmark we have had a long discussion on the unemployment civil services. They are all just run on making sure that they pay as little as possible to those unemployed.
Sometimes they torture people.
Some of these austerity measures, as the UK also has had, must be made much more sound and fair.
We should make sure, that we are not overspending. But the economic rationale that is behind the current treatment of the poor is cynical and heartless.
Making sure those who have the littlest are treated with compassion is vital.
G-d bless the will to see people for what beautiful individuals they are even those who have very litttle.
Ok, so the power had shifter in the UK. The conservatives are out, and the social democrats are in.
First of all, I have been a companion of the conservative rule ever since Cameron.
So, it is bittersweet, that the Conservatives have lost.
Yet, this is politics. You win some, and you loose some.
At the end of the day, a loss will make you stronger, if you learn from it.
So now we have to go into a creative mode, where we find out what went wrong, and what are our answers to that.
At the same time, welcome Mr. Starmer, you are, by all means, a sympathetic and wise man.
G-d bless the will to understand what are the challenges we face today, and how to do something about it.
When I did a lot of the peace building in the Middle East ten years ago, it was a peace building that was based on the shared legacy and culture of the Middle East. We are all heirs to the culture that has shaped most of humanity. Law, the republic, trade, religion, royalty, are all ideas that was born in the Middle East and still thrives in many places.
Ethics and philosophy is an integral part of all the governments in the Middle East.
So finding bridges between the different creeds was what worked.
So I went and did other things. And left my work pretty much undone. This some of the background to the 7’th October, at least from my perspective.
It culminated in the problems I had with the Danish authorities, that set an end date to my ideas in the Middle East. But I have come back, through an arduous and often very painful process, I have proved my mettle, and have proved that I am not finished, and I am still an active player in the Middle East.
So, at least from my perspective, I need to keep being an active part of the Middle East. This is my realization in this “after the war” discussion.
G-d bless the will to stay with the developments you are a part of.
Guys, I just want you to thank you for the support, that you all have been doing for a long time.
When you are really in need of help, it is often a huge surprise that it comes.
And when it comes, it feels like true love and friendship.
You did not have to. Yet a lot of people have been super supportive.
I hope that this support will give us a more peaceful and connected world in the end.
G-d bless the will to show love and solidarity in a world where this is truly needed.
It seems to me, that the EU is interested in my peace project in the Middle East. I did apply for a project that would encapsulate the entire project after the peace is won. I think, that when we get to October that is the deadline of the project, probably the peace will be in effect.
So, maybe you could consider an amendment to the rules, to make it possible to reapply for phase two?
G-d bless the will to find peace in the Middle East, and may we all prosper.
Well, it seems to me, that whenever we talk about the HONOR of the Palestinian Arab, things seem to move ahead.
I have been pondering it a lot. The fight that is most apparent is the fight for freedom of that of the Gazan Arab, yet honor seems to me, to be MORE important than freedom.
The reason must be, that what the Palestinian Arab is really longing for is honor and recognition.
It is worth to think about in the negotiations. Besides when you fight someone, who are brave, there is nothing wrong in accolading that.
It is actually much more honorable to fight an honorable opponent, than fighting a dishonorable opponent.
We have to end in a situation anyway, where we are living in peace besides each other. Respecting each other is a given to reach that peace.
G-d bless the will to understand each other.
Ok, here is an idea about a movie we may make.
What about a movie about the fight that democracy is in, when it tries to avoid going from democracy to tyranny, that is the normal course of a democratic development.
A bit inspired by Star Wars, that is the same story, of the republic, that tries to reinstate itself after the fall of the old republic.
The hero could be a philosopher/warrior, who is searching for comrades who are ready to stand by him in his fight to make a better, healed and more virtuous world?
There could be a love story involved with a beautiful princess, that falls in love with our hero, as he fights for the redemption of the republic.
So, the depth of the film could be all the intricacies of the political as well as the romantic platonic reflections.
We could have a Yoda like character, who would debate with the hero about the fall of virtue, and the reinstatement of public faith and respect for the virtues like justice, enlightenment, love, faith and wisdom.
That could make an amazing frame around a small series. And yes, we should definitely make it for cinema. So that it carries all the old fashioned virtues of that craft.
What about that?
G-d bless the will to save our democracy from the fall and the tyrant.
Malia, happy birthday to you. Such a fine young woman.
I have been a kind of looking over your dad’s shoulders when he was president and after.
So I have witnessed the profound love he has had for you all of those years. He never missed a dinner when he was president, he prioritized you over everything else.
When you are a parent, you really start to understand the value of life. The constant worry, the priority.
They say that nothing lives forever, yet there is in one thing we humans live for eternity, that is in our children.
They are there and they get children.
In that way, that is the only thing that really makes sense in the long run.
The love we have for our children is like a promise for their children as well, and their children and endlessly in this chain of human existence.
So, happy birthday Malia, and may your days be as full of existence and meaning, as you yourself have made for others.
G-d bless the will to be something for those you truly love.
I believe, that mirroring the idea of paradise seen from a western perspective with the idea of paradise from an Indian perspective will tell us a lot about our own striving.
Indians have an idea of an afterlife called Brahman or Atman (according to Grønbech). This paradise is very different from a western or European perspective. Where we in the West seek to realize paradise on earth, through trying to follow and build ideal societies, Indians believe, that when we pass away we end up in paradise.
The Indian paradise is paradise because it satisfies all our needs at once, and that we are not living in any kind of pain.
The Indian analysis of our suffering is quite sharp. According to the Upanishads we are limited by what we need. We need a wife, a house a good job. If we do not get what we need, we will be unhappy. In this we are controlled by our needs.
The reality is so coincidental, that the chance we either go wrong in our needs or do not meet them, are so great, that even trying is foolish.
Yet as technology progress, the chance for us all to get the most basic needs met are greater and greater. In essence, as we have learned to harness the energy of the sun, we get to be in a position where this energy makes it much more easy to live.
Take a tractor, one tractor work for a hundred people.
This releases a lot of people to do other things.
This material wealth is the basis we CAN stand upon to make an Eden HERE on earth. It comes down to our ability to organize our world, so that we are actually in a position to, realistically, achieve the goals in our lives. A nice spouse, a good job, a house to raise our kids, a community to support us.
This is really what politics is about, to make that system, that makes this possible.
Sound families, in sound towns, in sound countries.
We have the means, and as the world progresses, in the end all of humanity will have this opportunity.
G-d bless the will to create a dream for all of humanity to live.
There is this discussion on Netanyahu and his “Messianic” zeal.
I have been friends with Bibi for many years, we did a lot of collaboration in his first tenure.
So he is a friend.
Yet it’s true, there is some kind of amiable competition. In a sense that is fine, I mean, Benyamin Netanyahu has been elected PM of Israel, I am just a blogger philosopher. So of cause in all earnestly Bibi HAS the leadership.
Yet, Bibi is no king. A king is a rockstar.
Like David, he was both a musician and a king. And Solomon who was a magician and a king.
That is how kings are.
Netanyahu, with all his qualities, he is the most skilled politician in his generation, is a politician. This means, that he has qualities that are important for a politician.
He is brilliant, when it comes to gathering coalitions, he is extremely intelligent and he loves Israel with all his heart. He is the best we have right now.
There is a lot of movement, politically, within the right wing. Mr. Smotrich has adopted some of my ideas, Mr. Lieberman is inspired by Mr. Wilders, that is working with complex of policies that I made. So there is a lot of movement towards my ideas.
This does not mean, that I will crowned tomorrow, but it does mean, that my claim at kingship is strengthened.
In the best of worlds, BOTH me and Bibi will work on the affairs of Israel, and honestly Benyamin, who cares who is king?
Yes, there is a lot of honor in it, even immortality.
But at the end of the day, what is important is ISRAEL, we are ONLY servants to our country.
G-d bless the will to find peace in and around Israel. G-d bless our country.
It seems to me, that I kind of is accepted in the international vip artist community.
I really appreciate that, because of a host of issues, good and bad.
Usually when someone wish to talk they invite me to all kinds of things. The politicians invite me to Davos, that is a meeting where all the movers and shakers of politics talk and exchange ideas. I couldn’t participate last year, because of some issues. But next year I will definitely go, if they want me. They probably will, because I am planning the EU and a lot of other issues.
The British royals invite me to Oxford to present my ideas. That has been a blast, and as soon as my economy is all right again, I will come and discuss in the Church of St Mary.
So, this is kind of how people engage with me. The Catholics also invite me to this seriously cool metaphysical/physical project called then Vatican observatory.
Anyway, if you want to invite me, I will happy to come.
I really want to make a film as well, if I can. I have some real world stories to tell with a lot of drama and heroism.
G-d bless the friendship you can make across the Atlantic, and let’s make a movie. 🎥
Concerning princess Charlotte, my way of doing things may be a little untraditional, but I have been thinking a lot about the pressure, that my own children Rakel and Esther are in for, if I end up being the king of Israel.
What I have done is essentially to really downplay the role. I have talked a little about it with Rakel, since she is the crown princess, but I have let them live a totally normal life.
She goes to handball and have her friends. She essentially does not know what is going on.
At the same time, I have been VERY conscious on building up the CHARACTER of both my children. Taught the manners, have tried to instill in them the care of others, being giving, graceful persons.
They are both very, very beautiful as persons. My idea is, that whatever happens, a good, solid education in manners and grace is something you can use wherever you are.
And I have never really pressured them much, I have given them an example in unconditional love and sacrifice that seems to rub off them. Rakel she is really a good sister and very supportive of everyone around her. Esther is a champ as well, she is a cool kid.
So, giving them skills to live a life is what I have focused on, and then never put any pressure on them. That seems to work.
If Rakel one day will end up the queen of Israel, she will do it in strides, no doubt about that. If not, then she will have a lot of skills to make a good life of her own. And she wouldn’t miss anything. So maybe focus on making Charlotte a good and graceful person would work?
G-d bless the will to be a good parent.
Let’s see if we can untangle the Gaza/Israel conflict.
Hamas basic demand is a ceasefire. From the beginning.
This makes sense, from their perspective, because that is an indication, that they may survive.
If they accept the peace treaty, that is on the table, they accept their own defeat, basically.
So, what is the most opportune in terms of reaching the goals of Israel?
It is to accept the terms, and then start the negotiations.
Because it is only an INTENTION. The war can start again, if the negotiations break down.
Yet it gives Hamas a road to some kind of survival.
Will it mean, that Israel has won?
Well, it depends on the definition of a win.
If the definition of a win is, to have the hostages back, then it is a win. If the definition is to eradicate Hamas, it’s a loss.
So, how do Israelis see it. Their first objective is to get the hostages home. If they get that, they will see it as a win.
Secondly it is the KEEP THE HONOR of Jews. What happened in the 7’october was, that the honor of Jews and the honor of Israel was questioned.
When the honor is restored, they are satisfied.
How do you do that?
You do it by giving back Hamas as they did to Israel.
So, if Hamas is seen as having been beat as much as Israel was. The balance is upheld.
This is REALLY, what the day after negotiations is about. Leveling out the pain that Israel has suffered.
So from that perspective, there is a path to peace. The negotiations must be conclusively in the effort to make both parties feel, that they are each being treated fairly.
This means, from the perspective of Hamas, that they keep the honor they have gained, but release the hostages.
G-d bless the will to find a way to make peace in the Israeli/Gaza war.
One of my favourite writers is the Danish writer Wilhelm Grønbech, he SHOULD have been world famous, and probably would have been, if he didn’t write in only Danish.
Compared to a lot of the German writers, he has this keen insight, like a Nietzsche gone historian. His insight into the cultures of the world, is really amazing.
He is a scientist, yet he is all into cultural developments, and his feeling for the different cultures, combined with his deep, deep insight is truly world class.
Anyway, he has really delved into Indian culture, and has all these funny and insightful reflections on Western culture compared to the Upanishads.
I think he mentions that Schopenhauer also had some kind of interest into Indian culture as did Nietzsche with Iranian Zoroastrianism.
Anyway, Grønbech has this interesting comparison between Western culture with Indian culture in terms of happiness.
As I understand him (he is quite difficult as a read) he says that compared to Indian culture we in the West still have the HOPE of happiness. We get happiness in glimpses, and are thoroughly bitter on the fact, that we are not happy all the time. That happiness is such a fleeting feeling.
That is true, we are bitter, in many ways, because we see so little happiness, and that is just the way we are.
Hopefully this bitternees, can be alleviated over time, as our material conditions are improving. Then it is only our own organisation that defines our happiness, not lack of things.
Compared to this, the Indian folk soul is THOROUGHLY demotivated towards the life. He just KNOWS, that life is unfair, and is depressed, more or less the whole time.
BUT he has this understanding of the karmic wheel, that somehow propels him to good.
According to Indian understanding of Karma, Karma is not an ethical rule, it is simply how the world works. If you do good, it comes back to you.
So that is just how the world works.
So this really inspires the Indians to do good, because it will come back anyway.
Not only that, you carry your karmic burden to the next life as well. So if you do good, you elevate your soul and the next life will be better.
I dont know if it is truly like that, if there is such a rule. Yet, my experience is, that the more you go with the good guys, the better a life we have. BUT, being a good guy at the same time attracts the ire of all the bad guys. If you try to help someone, more often than not, the bad guys who have put them in the situation they are in, starts to get mad at you.
So being a good guy still gives you a lot of conflict.
But all in all, the fruits you reap of your labor are usually what you put into your life.
Going with the angels is a path that will lead to more happiness than if you go with the ego.
G-d bless the will to be one of the good guys.
One the things, that I have philosophized a lot about together with some of my nerdy friends, is HOW to sustain a relationship for a long time.
When you are an artist, your life has a lot of ups and downs, you are never better than your last record, as they say.
Making a stable life in this environment is really challenging. So first of all, what it comes down, is some kind of stability in life.
You have to be able to make a stable economy and make ends meet. Be stable in your emotional life as well. If you are all over the plate emotionally, yes, you will be an exiting mate, but in the long run, it gets really exhausting.
The most important though is class. Not to be looking down on anyone, it is about YOU having class. Speak nicely, treat everybody with respect, be humble and yet forceful. Have a serious moral compass.
At the heart of class lie the most important virtue, the ability to sacrifice yourself.
Let me give you an example. I have this really, really cool friend. Through the last year, I have had like torrents of hate and persecution raining down on me.
In a small city as I live in, people will pick sides, and all of a sudden, you have people whom you really liked who will abandon you.
But my friend has just been like a rock, through all the difficulties, he has been there, not critical at all, just a stable support.
He has not gained anything out of it really. He has just been a stable support. I have been able to give back a little, but compared to his sacrifice it is really nothing.
Friends like that are both humbling and give you a stable life.
I HAVE a base to stand on, that is, among many other people off cause, his loyalty and support.
The thing is, there are other people, that I do the same with. People, that I support, unconditionally.
So in some kind of cosmic cycle it all comes back.
That is really true class.
To help and support those in need, to your best ability, and by that, creating an environment around you, that is both sound for you and stable.
G-d bless the will to give unconditionally.
One of the things I don’t really understand of the current persecution I am experiencing, is why?
Do we have the vast choice of brilliant thinkers to lead us out of the current problems?
I mean, 99% of the current political policies that we do in Europe right now, I, more or less, invented.
The whole discussion on China, was something I came up with eight years ago, the balance between the national and the federal level is something that only I can do.
Then why on earth am in a situation, where the police is constantly trying to shut me up?
Can we afford that here in Europe?
G-d bless the will to think clearly.
Well, the “secret service” aka the KGB (PET) of Denmark. The disgusting, child abusing part of the police is plotting to poison me.
I have warned them, that I will cut their budget in half, when the power changes hand here in Denmark.
G-d bless the will to survive the evil of the Danish “secret” service.
Well, when you have a hard childhood, as some of my readers have had, you can end up in all kinds of issues. Drugs, abuse things like that.
When I grew up, it was not easy, my mum was a single mum and the pressure was so intense, that she ended up in the asylum.
These things are the conditions that many live with.
So I was this extremely talented artist, musician, dancer I took my university degree in a record time. I was like a lit rocket.
But at around thirty, everything just fell apart, I couldn’t make my career work, and I ended up being sick, I almost died. I had this concussion that never went away.
For two years I spend my day looking up in the ceiling listening to German classical radio.
When I came out of that hell, I knew what life is worth, and I knew my own limits to an extreme degree.
What I did when I was so sick was to heal all the old wounds. I meditated the whole day, went to church, and cleansed myself.
So I decided to be a teacher and ended up being a philosopher.
That went totally nuts. I founded the movement that ultimately gave us Marine le Pen, Donald Trump and the whole right wing change.
The basic ideology these new movements drive on, I made.
Later i helped Obama, and then founded much of the whole idea behind Change.
What happened?
I healed myself.
I cleansed myself for a number of years, and what surfaced was a new person.
When you travel with G-d, you become in his image.
So in a sense, all the socially destructive background I came from was washed away, through a conscious effort.
My point is, if you are at the of your rope, tie a knot and hold on. Hold on to faith and being a sound person.
G-d bless the will to do good and find bliss and love in this life.
Many people say, that love is only for the wealthy. That to have true love, you have to have a good career, be respected in the community and all that.
That is off cause a truth in a sense, to find true love you have to be in a place, where you are able to both fall in love, and also attract the right person.
Yet, truly it does have more to do with your mental state. Are you happy, in balance, do your life support itself.
My best example on how this works is my mom. She was alone for many years. She just couldn’t find anyone. Then she became grandmum and here sheer joy was what attracted Jørgen down at the local communal washing center.
He was a meteorologist by education and an engineer by profession. So he always told us stories about his exploits on Greenland, when he was there as a young man. He took my mom to the Opera, and treated with quality wine.
He was just such a gentleman.
So he healed her, slowly, over the years. Gave her a reason for her to trust him, just over and over again. All the while telling us all his stories.
He was both gentle and strong.
My mum helped him get his life in order as well. So they were really an endearing couple.
He was so proud of her. My mum was a teacher, and he was so proud of how she gave all the kids a lot of knowledge.
So, meeting true love, is essentially a question of getting to a place, where YOU are ready for it.
Then again, there are also a lot of stories about people finding true love when they are most down. I heard a story about a couple who found each other at the asylum. They were both going nuts, and the love they had saved each other. It is a true story.
G-d bless the will to be honest and true, to those you love.
