Ok, the rockets from Hezbollah and the Houthis are actually a new development.
Before it was mostly threats all the time. Now it is concrete action.
This is either a sign of increased hostility or a sign of a new phase in the war.
We will see.
Yet, the fighting has moved from Gaza to the other proxies.
This is a sign, that the core conflict is over, and the fighting is moved to the periphery.
This again puts more pressure on Hamas, because if the reason for fighting is not to put pressure on to make a deal, then they actually are of less importance.
The war has moved from a focus on Gaza, to a war between Israel and Hezbollah/Houthis.
G-d bless the will to find a way out of this quagmire, and may we have peace.
Ok, things are turning around.
The fact that the fighting in Gaza is getting less, is really the best indication that things are turning.
It is probably because Hamas as fighting force is not functional anymore. There are still some fighters holding on to the hostages, yet Hamas does not occupy any territory anymore.
So, the war is moving towards Hezbollah. That war will not be as intense as the Gaza war, because the territory is different. It is much more a normal conventional war, and here the IDF has a huge advantage.
So when that is finally laid to rest, we have peace. Not the peace we thought we would have, yet some kind of peace.
In other words, the bargaining position of Hamas is getting worse as each day goes by.
If we end up in a situation, where there is no fighting anymore, then Israel will be able to define the situation in Gaza as is want.
This again leads to a motivation for Hamas to do a deal, when they are still in the game.
In a few weeks or months, their game is much less valuable.
So, better strike a deal, when it is still valuable.
G-d bless the will to find peace.
I have a really special relation to religion. My kids are in a catholic school, my father was a sunni muslim and my mother was from a Jewish family.
So I have this personal insight into all religions. Just by coincidence.
My personal experience is, that the true antagonism between all the religions and society is not other religions. It is Satan.
Satan lives in areas of destruction, crime, social destitution.
As I journalist, I have been close to these parts of society, and they are horrible.
I try to work with ethics and integrity, and in these areas, they are just abusing each other.
So when I go to Chabad, I feel at home. Good, strong families, respect between the generations. Rabbis trying to do good. I really, really respect that.
When I go to the school of my children, it is the same. There are some bad apples here and there, but that is mostly teachers without faith.
The priests are wonderful, strong characters who try to support a good family world. They are good people.
My dad he was a hero, he fought in the civil war. My Bangladeshi family, I really, really love them as well. Again, a strong, supportive family that is there for me, and I try the same, when they need me.
My point is, from the inside, religions are the same, more or less.
There is off cause, difference in theory, and in world view.
Yet we basically all fight the same fights. The fight against evil, that is destroying neighbourhoods and for a world where our kids are safe, and we can live a harmonious life in a good family with G-d as our support.
So why is it, that we are fighting all the time?
It is not religion, it is because of material things, like territory, envy, prejudice. All these things that are also human. It is definitely not because of G-d.
G-d bless the will to find peace.
I truly believe, that we need to be careful about giving religion a bad reputation.
When we fight all in the time in the Middle East, people around the world think that it is because religion is a warmonger.
I know that there are conflicts and we have differences, yet none of us are interested in giving religion a bad reputation. It has a very bad reputation already.
In these days of transparency and internet, everybody can see what happens all over the world. If they see two religions, Jews and Muslims fighting for a long time, they may conclude, that G-d is not a peaceful spirit.
The actions we do, will have repercussions for all of us.
We all want G-d to be respected and worshipped. We can only do that, if G-d is seen as something valuable.
I know, that there are POLITICAL conflicts, like the ones we have in the EU right now, but we should be very careful not to put religion in a bad light.
G-d bless the will to make G-d live again and prosper.
How do we find some kind of practical compromise between the left and the right in the EU?
Well, it seems to me, that both Germany, Denmark and many other countries, have used my ideas, and are using them.
My idea is, that in order for a migrant to be a part of our democratic societies, he or she has to respect the law, be a part of the democratic system and renounce other ideas of other statehoods.
This was the whole idea behind the fight against ISIS, that was the POLITICAL expression of radical Islam.
Everybody fought ISIS even Iran.
Yet if you come to Europe, these are the limits. No ISIS.
If you are into ISIS or the like, you are repatriated.
It is a tough stance, yet the alternative is race wars as we have seen other places.
A controlled process, done by the state, is the answer.
This makes it possible for migrants that are law-abiding and peaceful to live a great life with progress and everything.
In other words it is cutting the Gordian knot.
I based this on the book “the Nichomaceian Ethics” that is the main description of a democracy by Aristotle. In fact Aristotle is much more tight than my ideas. So it is based on Democracy as a theoretical base.
This is a compromise. That we can live with.
So, if the EU work on this, in tandem with the right, there is a bridge to stand on.
G-d bless the will to make the European Union flourish and be sound.
All right. We are in trouble, that is obvious for everybody. In the UK the division is like a chasm. In the EU, the division is starting to show. In the Middle East, the division is fought on gunpoint and with lives shed to the war we find that we need to do.
Yet, there is a way, and it has started in the US.
That is reconciliation and will end up in unity.
Yet, I mean it is clear for us all, that that is going to take a long time.
For now, I would recommend the EU to think about the outcome of starting the hard opposition to the right.
The right is waiting for some kind of negotiation that is put forth. I know, that Ms. Le Pen, the leader of the right, is waiting.
So, we should, by all means, start that process, and see where it leads.
If we end up in a massive confrontation, it is going to destroy the union, that is already precarious as it is.
These are the stakes.
So we need to get down to business, and find concrete, applicable solutions to the challenges.
It is possible, and it could potentially, solidify the EU.
Otherwise it will be a race for the bottom, the nationalists will all solidify their powerbase, and that will the end of the EU.
Also in the Middle East. It is the same. Do we choose division or do we choose unity.
There are a lot of small concrete steps we can take, to unentangle ourselves from this web we are in right now. It will take time, yet it is possible.
Instead of blowing the fans of war, lets, see if we can quench those flames.
G-d bless the will to find peace in the world, and unity.
All right let’s have a look at the development of the world.
We have had just witnessed the extreme division of the UK, and the catastrophe this was.
At the other side of the pond, we have just witnessed the complete opposite. The liberal candidate talking about unity and put an end to the division.
Not a naive unity. A unity based on civil rights and Democracy.
How it fares with the voters is still to see, yet if we can compare to how things are here in Denmark. The middle leaning Socialdemocrats had a lot of success, and the extremist position it is in now, with the current foreign minister is a complete disaster.
So essentially what Barack and I have worked on for the last five or six years; the revitalization of the American dream, unity as a goal and so on, is finally really presented to the American voters.
Hopefully they will like it as much as the Danes did.
So, in that sense, America has been stopped from its decline, and can take the mantles again on the international stage.
It is pretty powerful stuff going on.
G-d bless the will to do good, have good thoughts and thereby good actions and may we have peace, finally.
Ok, let’s see what we can deduce from the last few days of development in the Israeli/Gaza war.
First of all, the mere shift in focus from only focusing on the peace negotiations has brought some kind of halting in the war.
We are now discussing the stance of Israel in relation to Iran and its proxies. This is essentially a much more serious discussion, because it is really where the decisions are made.
Hamas does not make decisions alone. Hamas calibrates its decisions with its allies.
So taking the more overall view on the discussion makes real progress possible.
Iran is heard in its issues, and Hezbollah is waiting on the outcome of the negotiations.
This is not to forget the hostages and the war in Gaza, it is to take a more inclusive view on the discussion.
We are now playing chess, before we were concentrating on the two pieces on the chessboard that were interlocked and couldn’t move.
So now taking more players in consideration, we can play again.
It has also had the effect that Russia is starting to make demands. More or less the same demands as the rest of the players; a two state solution and ending of the hostilities towards Gaza.
That is good, we need to hear everyone, and when they agree, more or less, then that is absolutely positive.
How Israel is going to handle that is something we need to see.
It is a difficult issue, because Gaza is in disarray. Hamas is still a force, but the poor Gazans are not exactly living in a welthfarestate.
It does come down to the rearmament issue. Will Hamas be able to rearm and make more attacks. This is not ok with Israel. So the state solution needs to have some kind of realistic control of the armaments of Gaza.
This again is the discussion on the Philadelphi corridor, because control of this corridor is a part of a way to control rearmament.
So there is a new situation, and things are moving.
Hopefully it will be realized in some sort of deal in the near future.
G-d bless the will to make amends and scale down the war and think about those suffering and being in harms way.
That debate was really, really good. Precise, to the point and really carried the deeper convictions to the front.
One thing we have to remember, is the fact that making a hopeful and positive ideology has a very real theory behind it.
As the first pilgrims came and tried to build a paradise in the US. The idea was to build this perfect society. The perfect system of law. The perfect system of rule. The perfect religion, science and so on.
They tried to build a dream society. That is where the whole idea comes from of the American dream.
When it is realized people become full of joy.
The way to do it, is by PERSONAL responsibility of each citizen.
The virtue of each citizen is a personal thing. It is something each individual has to believe is right.
Off cause the leadership should believe in it the most. But the citizens need to believe in the Democratic institutions, the weight and influence of religion, business and so on.
How do we make people more virtuous? We do it by showing that example and making sure, that things work.
G-d bless the will to keep the American dream alive.
All right, let’s see if we can zoom in on the peace efforts and the efforts to keep the Middle East on a good path. As the ancient Zoroastrians said (the religion of Cyrus the Great) what we need is good thoughts, good speaking and this will lead to good actions.
In other words, we need to recapitulate on the ideas that we are working on. What is it, that we want to do?
What are the essential aims of our conduct?
According to the ancient Persians, it is supposed to be something good.
What are the essential moral aims of this century?
It is progress, happiness and dreams realized.
We are living in an era where technology has the ability to move the world unto a better place. It requires us to understand the tech and how it may move our world in a good way.
Yet what we are doing right now is the opposite. We are blindingly just following our own instincts of hate and despair. We are not doing things that will make the world better.
I understand that the murder Hanyeh, that was a moderate voice in Hamas, in Iran, is a provocation without equal.
Yet, what good would it do to destroy the holy land?
These are some of questions we need to put to ourselves. We need to do in dialogue and hopefully reach some kind of understanding. Trust is hard to build, yet trust is the fruit of goodness.
G-d bless the will to do think good thoughts, speak good and do good actions and may we by that ancient principle find peace.
Ok, this is just the last tip for the tv debate tomorrow.
The core of the civil rights movement was, that each citizen is judged by his or her ability and willingness to adhere to the rules of the democratic state.
That is; vote, respect the law and have faith and respect for the constitution. Especially the AMENDMENTS to the constitution, that is the basic rules essentially.
This is why the “We the people” is such a powerful proverb.
It is the sanctified blessing of the democratic state.
Now, why is democracy good? Because it makes a world where the weak is protected against the abuse of the strong. Law is there to protect the weak against the strong.
This is really the core of it all, go with that Kamala, and you will win hearts and minds from a place, that is YOU.
Constitution, We the people, protection of the weak, and you have a formula to win on.
G-d bless the will to win the election, and may the Democracy of the US prosper.
Ok, the good news is, that we are finally figuring out a way to remove ourselves from the negotiations only, and try new paths to redemption and reconciliation.
The bad news is, that there is a long way to go from here, to peace in the Middle East.
First of all, the regional competition between Israel and Iran has escalated massively the last year, and deescalating that conflict will take time.
There is really no reason to go to an all out war with Iran, but there is off cause cause for worry.
Yet to understand Iran, we have to see the for what they are; a conservative, islamic renaissance movement.
They are heirs to a tradition that is a thousand years old.
It is not a bogey man, it is an old and very advanced culture, that is angry with us, because we have not taken them seriously.
What they want, at least in the beginning, was self-determination and self respect. Today, the system has become quite unpopular, because of the hard reaction to women especially and it is very, very controlling.
Yet they have ideas that we should respect as well. The world is not black and white.
So Hezbollah is the most pure reflection of this point of view, and they have been destroying most of the north. So there is that.
Yet, if we start focusing on what it really is that we are fighting against, that of Iran and its proxies, and seek some kind of closure with that enemy, hopefully the threat of Hamas diminishes.
Yet we should be aware, that our political capital has run out, that there is soon a new president in the White house, and we have to be careful to have allies.
So my advice is, not all conflicts are meant to be solved with guns, some conflicts can be solved with diplomacy, and if we use our energy on Iran instead of Hamas, the chance that we will get along lines of true progress are much, much higher.
G-d bless the will to find peace in the Middle East.
Dear majesty Queen Rania of Jordan. You have no idea how much we have fought for a world of humanism and decency.
When the war started, I as a European Jew, fought to unite the country of Israel behind sound virtues and value. Israel was a the edge of collapsing.
When the war dragged on, we did all we could to make a peace deal.
We did this, as European Humanists, to stop the suffering, to make a world where both Palestinian Arab as Jew are living side by side.
We know, that there is no such thing as one right or the other being wrong. There is a chasm of animosity, despair, and also heroism and valiancy.
Both sides fight for their freedom and what they see as their bare survival, and the thing is. They are both right. It is a game of survival.
Yet, it is also a game of trying to see who you are yourself, and what you can live with.
If you fight the evil Nazies all your life, you become a nazi, you become what you PICTURE a nazi being.
So, we have brought everything to the table, and the European Union is in and devastated as well.
We are doing everything in our power to minimize the suffering of both sides.
We know that we have not been able to get through with our intentions. So that is what it is.
Yet, there is a new plan, and that plan is for the entirety of the Middle East to say; no. We do not support this, or condone more violence. You can fight, if you want, we can’t stop you, if you want to go on fighting. But we can make the choice ourselves, and say. We refuse to be dragged into this horrible conflict.
Humanism is about being soft at heart, and being true.
Truth is the most powerful of all weapons, and if we just say the truth. That there are no winning side here. There is only two loosing sides, then the peace will happen.
G-d bless the will to remain adamant in finding peace, and make the Middle East a place of rejuvenation and powerful progress.
I think, that for the couple of ms. Harrison and Mr. Walz to win, we need to have depth and integrity in what we present to the public.
The prejudice is, like when Obama and I fought to make a good run in his presidency; what can a black woman bring to the table.
I know that it stings and hurts, yet this will be the reality. One has to bring something exceptional to the table.
So, this is something we have to figure out; how do we present a case of renewal of the American Democracy that really brings it to a better place.
I believe, that the economic theories are at the right place. Yet what about the rest?
Here I think, that, at least, mr. Bidens infrastructure project is something we can inherit.
Yet, the most important is to tell at story, that the Americans can feel and solidarice with.
To me, that is civil rights.
Rev. King and his dream is a very safe bet, and something that all Americans red, white, brown and black agree with. That is, that as long as we all believe in Democracy and civil rights, we can get along.
Barack won his second term on that ticket, and ms. Harris has it in her background, to put that idea forth. For the people.
G-d bless the will to find a place, where we can all win and none is left behind.
G-d bless the United States of America.
Concerning my attitude to the peace work.
The most beautiful way to do that, is the way of Mahatma Ghandi, rev. Martin Luther King and the philosopher Henry David Thoreau.
Non violence.
This is best done, if it is combined with enlightenment.
Enlightenment and the pursuit of justice by the word, is often met with animosity by a corrupted state.
So fighting in my mind is fighting to enlighten.
The same I think is possible in the Middle East as for now.
G-d bless the will to enlighten the world.
Ok, essentially I believe, that we have moved on the Gaza/Israel issue from one angle all the time, and missed, that there is another angle, that we used to have a lot of success with the last time Obama was moving in the Middle East.
Instead of focusing on Hamas, what we did was to work on the issues at the source. That is, we fought Ahmadinejad and made peace with Iran.
If effect isolating Hamas.
That was what brought peace the last time.
It requires diplomacy, skill and military force.
But in the end, we all started fighting Isis, and we were all pretty happy about that.
So, my proposal is; why dont we lift our gaze from Gaza, and start working on the real issues. That is the relationship between Iran and US, and ultimately Russia.
Because deep down, the conflict is a reflection of the Russian/US war also.
This gives the EU a central role, because the EU has very good relations with Iran.
So by starting the talk with Iran, and trying to find a way to deescalate the tension, we can defuse the war at the root level.
G-d bless the will to make peace in the Middle East.
Ok, so the Russians are worried about the plight of the Palestinians.
They have nowhere to be right now, not in Gaza not in the West Bank.
If we want to deescalate the tension in the region. Listening to the Russians is a good place to start.
So far, Israel has been an ally of Russia, and we should keep it that way.
So, my advise is; make sure that the CIVILIANS of Gaza and the West Bank have places to be safe. I know that Hezbollah does not make things safe in the North. Yet a positive move from the side of Israel, LISTENING to Russia and its worries is a step in the right direction.
G-d bless the will to make things work in Israel again, may we have calm and quiet, eventually.
To cite Nietzsche; “And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.”
This is the danger of war, you look into the destruction around you, and you meet unbridled agression. You become like that.
This is how I try to tackle it.
For a long time, I have been at the receiving end of the secret services agression here in Denmark.
They use the Capone method on me, trying to destroy me by using the economic arm of the state.
When I lost my TV station, they almost had me, and continued destroying my economy.
There were months, when I had almost no money to buy food. I had to sell a lot of my things just to put food on the table and keep a roof over my head.
The PET just went on hammering me, finding all kinds of excuses for taking money from the social services I had ended up on.
So I fought for peace, and instead of succumbing to their negative behaviour and violence of the PET, I put myself on a path of rebuilding. I got a new job, then two now three as a caretaker for boys with autism and ALS.
So I rebuild my life from bottom up, now things are ok.
I could have succumbed to the anger and the agression, and I did a few times. When they started targeting my children, I was angry.
Yet by the grace of the angels and my new beautiful girlfriend, I managed to stay on a positive path.
Because that is really the danger of fighting a foe like Hamas. Hamas is the most violent jihadi group in existence, and if we keep repaying tit for tat, where do we end?
As being the same as Hamas.
Yet if we stay on a course, that is essentially positive and is what WE are. The soft at heart, humanistic people, then we will end up in that world.
We are warriors, and I have almost destroyed the PET with my powers, and a lot of other enemies. Yet, I simply refuse to become like them.
We should be able to look ourselves in the mirror, and we do that, by remembering who we are, and be that.
G-d bless the will to keep our soul sound.
I find it very, very encouraging, that there is, in this deepest hour of despair a sense of hope in the negotiations with Saudi Arabia.
His highness Muḥammad bin Salmān Āl Su‘ūd is a ruler, who has ambitions with his country, that are in alignment with the positive ambition of Israel.
An ambition of prosperity, progress and advancement.
This is what Israel can be, when we get peace, a friend and a possible companion.
What we have to figure out, is how we avoid embarrassing our Arab allies.
When we go on an all other war, and show very little care for our allies, then this is, in the Arab world, quite embarrassing.
When we are at peace, we should be careful and keep that respect and appreciation of our neighbors.
That is how we get from being a start up nation, to being a mature nation. A nation, where we try and be respectful for those around us.
Our friends run a risk of loosing face, if we do not treat people around us with the courtesy and civility that they expect.
I know, that we are incessantly attacked by Hamas, yet WE should mind the image we project to the world. We are living in a connected world, and people notice.
To be good neighbors, to our adjacent nations, we need to start thinking about them as neighbors and try to find a positive way of that.
How do you do that? You do it by outstretching your hand, invite them in for a cup a tea. If they are in need of help when their lights go out, we try and find the switch, with the utmost respect of cause.
Yet this is the difficult balance. At one hand we have to be the exemplary neighbor and at the same time we need to look out for Hamas and other devastating enemies.
G-d bless the will to evolve into the light upon the Nations, and we could start by being a good neighbor.
Well, what is really the positive possibilities of the Middle East?
According to his highness Muḥammad bin Salmān Āl Su‘ūd, his vision is to put the Middle East at the forefront of international development. Make the Middle East great, in a sense.
So what does that mean? It means that in all the stages of development there should be a clear contribution of the Middle East to the world at large. Take mr. Musks ambition for the Mars Mission, here the Middle East has been a part. Take architecture, again here Saudi Arabia has been at the forefront of development.
And so and so forth, that is, by all means an amazing positive vision.
How does this vision relate to the vision of Israel. Well, as prophet Isaiah proclaimed, very ambitious as well, Israel should be the light upon the nations, meaning that Israel should be a beacon of hope, sharing of knowledge and development.
Before the 7 of October, we were almost there. There were issues, yet Israel was rich, at the forefront of art, science, technology. It was called the “start up nation”.
I other words, the vision of his highness Salman Āl Su‘ūd and the vision of Israel are like two visions that SUPPORT each other. In fact, they are the same.
So, this is what the Middle East can be, when we start really moving to a higher gear and we shed the shackles of destruction and war. Each of us can carry that light, as the prophets of the ancients decreed. In fact, not doing as the prophets decreed is stepping away from the face of happiness and development.
When the Middle East gets to a point, where we are in fact able to lift ourselves, the greatness that lie as a mighty lion of civilisation will be unleashed. The Middle East is where civilisation is born, just imagine when that mission is realized again, the movement and positive development it can create.
G-d bless the will to create and develop the Middle East, and may it again rise as it is its birthright.
Ok, lets try an analyze the premisses for the peace negotiations.
On one hand we have Hamas, that is thriving in opposition. It needs the war to be of any matter. This does not mean that Hamas is evil. Hamas is not evil. I understand, and apologize for calling Hamas a death cult. I know, Hamas fights for the freedom of the Palestinian people.
At the other hand, we have the Israelis that are angry and prone to project this anger onto Hamas. Jews are certainly not evil either, I am a Jew myself, and have a lot of wonderful Jewish friends.
So, what is the answer. The answer is to find a way to make a solution that both parties can agree upon.
This however will only happen, when the Israelis realize, that it is not possible to destroy Hamas.
Hamas has endless tunnels to hide in, supplies and so on.
It is a Vietnam scenario, and the Americans lost in Vietnam, because of the tunnels in Vietnam. This is not to discourage. It is simply to state the historical experience.
We thought, that after Rafah, it would be ok. But it didn’t, then we got caught up in the West Bank and Hezbollah.
The TERRAIN remains the problem.
Until someone figures out how to fix that, there is no fixing the war.
It will be endless.
That is why a deal is the only way, at least if we wish to stop this endless and honestly pointless war. We are not going to get the hostages home by war. That is the only possible answer. If we had been able to do that, it would have happened already.
At the other side. Hamas is also hardpressed, and the ultimate goal; to unite all of the Middle East against Israel, is not going to happen, not as long as the Nations of the Middle East are open for at positive progression. Because maybe Israel as a democracy is going gong ho Hamas. But its royalty, that happens to be me, is more into finding positive and lasting solutions.
My friends are the royalty of the Arab Nations, and we all just want to get this over, and start doing cool things together.
Add to this, Iran may have a bad rep. But my experience with them is, that we agree on the whole spiritual, positive path. They want peace as well, and be accepted.
I know that there is the whole women issue in Iran, yet the mullahs are not evil, they are conservative.
Knitting this puzzle together, is what we need to do.
Hamas needs to realize, that there is not going to be a front of Arab Nations against Israel.
Israel needs to realize, that there is not going to be a total eradication of Hamas.
So, that is the facts on the ground.
Please, do something constructive with that insight.
G-d bless the will to find common ground, and may we have peace.
There is a wide acceptance of the attempt at making peace both in the negotiations and a wide outreach to the nations of the Middle East. From Iran to the Arab nations.
Maybe a combined process is what we need to get out of the gridlock.
At least this will truly realize the meaning of Israel as the light upon the Nations.
G-d bless the will to find peace, and may we all prosper and find happiness.
Ok, I get it. The Biden administration is so invested in the peace deal negotiations, that abandoning these negotiations now is simply not possible.
So, we do that. We continue, and do our best.
At the same time, I will try and make bridges of dialogue in between the nations of the Middle East.
These amazing, historical nations with layers and layers of history.
Then I will be supporting the Biden administration in its work in the negotiations and at the same time support the broader peace work across the Middle East.
Are you ok with that?
G-d bless the will to find peace.
Well, to me the proposal of Mr. Netanyahu is the usual brilliance of his work. It is balanced, realistic and will give the deal the right amount of movement.
Well done Benyamin. The crown political move of your career. That was top notch.
G-d bless the will for Israel to survive. May we prosper.
Ok, now please, think. If Hamas, after almost a year of war, say themselves, that they can see, that they have almost disrupted the normalization of Israel. And they then make an atrocity to maximise the disruption. Then what is their aim?
It was not by accident, that exactly the child that had parents that spoke at the DNC, Democratic national congress, was killed.
Why would they do that? To provoke. What is it that they want to provoke? Mayhem, disruption of alliances, and general discord.
What will that lead to? The weakening of the alliances of not only Israel, but also the Arab nations, that so far have been allied with the US.
If they manage to attain that goal, just imagine the victory for them.
That is what they are aiming for now. In the beginning, they had no idea, that they would get that far.
The fact, that they have gotten this far, is due to lack of coordination and understanding of the goals of the war from the Israeli side.
No one really knows what we are fighting for, the goal of the war.
So in this situation, we leave the initiative to the enemy that in this case is a small rebel force, that has only a few hostages to work with.
The fact, that they almost tore down the entire US alliance in the Middle East is astounding.
The fact, that the Israeli side still have not realized their aim is equally astounding.
The only way we get out of this quagmire for real, is if we keep the alliances, because, that is the real victory goal.
I know that the hostages are equally import. Yet from a super strategic point of view, that we really need to get onto, that is the victory goal. To keep Israel safe, we need to have allies and make things with them to our mutual benefit.
That is the bare boned simple truth, right there.
G-d bless the will for Israel to survive.
One of the things, that really struck me, when I started working on the green desert project with Hans, was the scale and ambition of it.
His majesty Sheik Zayed, wanted to do something that was beyond his own time.
He created a dream, for his people to hang on to and create an atmosphere of hope and striving.
We human beings need to have something to strive for. We need to know, that there is a positive goal out there in the horizon.
A goal that we may not reach ourselves, maybe it will be our sons and daughters, maybe further down the line of generations.
Like Rav Ashlag, who dreamt that one day all three monotheistic religions would come together and thereby make peace.
It seems unattainable. Yet the scope and the ambition inspires.
Like the first settlers who dreamt of an Eden in the US, a paradise to strive for.
We inherit these dreams and visions.
We can choose to work for a positive vision or to get sucked into the destructive tit for tat of war.
We can choose ourselves, and if we do choose the positive vision, we use our lives to build and make a better world.
When you get old and look back at your life, the most important thing to have done is to have built something.
A family, a nation, a business.
If you can look back at your life and see that you used your life for the betterment of the human species in some small or large way, your life will make sense.
Life is chaotic and difficult to navigate. Yet, positivity, construction and striving for something better is what we should do, if we want to make our lives truly matter.
It is not easy, because the destruction of materialism is there all around us. We should not be naive, and off cause we should defend ourselves. But we should be honest to ourselves in the realization that the meaning of life, is to create.
G-d bless the will to be creators ourselves.
Okay, so the Harris/Walz side is presenting a new economic proposal.
These are my reflections on it.
First of all, much better than the first proposal, it has depth, and it carries forth a genuine motivation on supporting small business owners.
My initial idea was essentially to support ALL production, yet these news ideas show, that the economical theories are developing and is colored by each side.
So the republicans are supporting the larger enterprises and the Democrats are supporting the smaller enterprises.
That makes pretty good sense, since we at the Democratic side is supposed to care for the little guy.
What I think is also important is to remember, is the unfair competition from China.
When we initially launched the new economic theories in opposition to Mitt Romney. His problem was, that he had been outsourcing a lot of American production. He made all his money on that.
Trump has had a lot of success with his angle on my ideas, and made a lot of jobs in the US. Biden has built on this, and now Harris is developing the ideas even further.
Small business owners are in danger of succumbing to issues as low prices and unfair competition from China, so I would humbly advise to include the Chinese angle in the economical discussion.
G-d bless the United States of America, and may we prosper.
Ok, so maybe some may consider my motivation for engaging in the peace work.
My great grandmother fled to Sweden in the middle of the Holocaust. She fought for freedom and decency.
The rest of my family fought against the nazies. With weapons. There were the black sheep here and there. Yet we fought for the freedom for the Danes and Jews.
My family is an aristocratic Jewish family.
We have been leading culture and business for hundreds of years in Denmark.
So, the founder of Zionism Brandes was a friend of my great grandmother.
It has been handed down from generation to generation to watch out for the Jews.
Now, the Rotschild’s may have put their signature on the birth certificate of Israel, yet my family was a close second in the zionistic ideas of a free democratic country, based on humanism.
That is my motivation. To watch out for Israel and protect it.
Seeing things from the above and mend the relations inbetween Israel and its allies.
It is a genuine and heartfelt attempt at being a guardian of Israel.
G-d bless the will for Israel to survive and be strengthened.
Ok, so there is a final proposal on the table. Let’s see if we can figure out the ups and downs of it.
At the end, endless discussions is not a process that makes much sense, so I agree with the intention. Either it makes sense to make a deal or not.
So what will happen if the deal is rejected? Seen from the Israeli side it will mean the weakening of its alliances. After all it is the Israeli allies that are negotiating.
If there is no deal, it will mean, that the allies will take a step back and see what will happen.
Seen from a Palestinian Arab side, what will happen.
Well there will be no real immediate consequences. Since Hamas is allied with the Russian/Iranian side, it will not loose much.
So Hamas has a strong hand.
Where does that lead to?
It leads to the fact, that it is essentially most in the interest of Israel to make the deal.
What will make Hamas make a deal? It will only make a deal if it has a chance of survival, because in the long run, if the deal is off the table, it will give Israel the time to cut off all roads to resupply of arms and so on. The leadership of Hamas will be destroyed and the Palestinian in general will turn against Hamas. It has already begun.
The question is, will Israel trade the survival of Hamas for the ability to remain in the good grace of its allies?
G-d bless the will to finally find peace.
Well, we need to start lifting our gaze from Gaza to the international game.
Hamas has played us for some time. If they are trying to dissolve the alliances of Israel and we are fighting to keep the Philadelphia corridor. They are the ones who are controlling the outcome of the war.
When we look at it. What is the quality of a stable and sound relationship to our Arab neighbors.
It is peace and stability of Israel. Not only for the next few years but for the rest of the existence of the country.
We would have won a stable situation.
Going from a startup to a fully fledged country, that has the future in front of it.
This is what Hamas fears. That we mature and become a stable country.
So their victory condition is to disrupt and destroy that.
At least a part of our victory condition should be to keep the maturing of the country to become a stable country.
Off cause getting the rest of the hostages home is equally important. In fact it is more important. The human lives that are in the hell they are in now, should be saved.
So we need to play the game smarter.
What are we? The David or the Goliath?
We need to think in terms of how David would think. Outsmart, use our resources wisely.
Garner international support for our cause.
If we do that, we fight in the way we are supposed to.
G-d bless the will to realize the victory terms that fit us.
Ok, at least now we know the terms of loss and victory for Hamas. Hamas is gunning for a destabilizing of Israel, by destroying the relations Israel has with its neighbors.
So that is what victory is from a Hamas perspective. This makes it pretty clear what would make victory from an Israeli perspective. That would be to remain a stable and prosperous player in the Middle East.
So in a way, we at least now know, what it is that Hamas is playing for.
They are wise in that manner, you must give them that.
G-d bless the will to be in the understanding of the war, and how we may be on the winning team.
All right, maybe all is not lost yet.
Guys, you need to think. Why did Hamas murder the hostages? Why? You need to reflect on that question, if you want to make a response that actually makes sense when it comes to furthering the agenda of Israel.
I will tell you why. They did it, because Hamas has realized that the only real political effect the Gaza war has had, has been the destruction of the Arab alliance built under Obama.
So, how do they strengthen that effect?
They do it by provoking both the Americans as well as Israel.
It is a master stroke. And so far, you have reacted just the way they wanted.
If you do not understand the game, you will be manipulated with by the smarter opponent.
So maybe the current leadership of Israel simply do not care about the loss of half of its allies. But you should. I mean, the loss is tremendous and the normalization that is required for Israel to be at peace with its neighbors is almost gone.
So please, think about it. What would counter the ploy of Hamas?
It would be, to isolate Hamas and say. Well we understand that not all Palestinians and Arabs do things like murdering civilians, and we see this as a reflection of the Hamas only.
With this, you have isolated them, and you can be the good guy.
Care for the families of victims. Be a victim.
If you do that, the ploy will boomerang back at Hamas.
So, please, we need to play the game better than Hamas. Right now, you are being manipulated.
Sorry, but you need to know to play the game in a manner where you win, we get peace and everybody can go back to living their lives in peace.
G-d bless the will to see things clearly.
Ok, the the whole Middle East conflict has really come to a pivotal moment.
At one hand, the entire Arab alliance is crumbling for the Americans. The normalization that was almost complete before the 7 October is void, for now at least.
I understand that the Arab nations cannot continue watching the wars and fighting and just stand back.
At the other hand, my own project and the respect and engagement I have in the Arab Nations is actually strengthened.
I believe, that the work and vision of the forests of the desert will come in to existence.
I have a really good relationship to Saudi Arabia as well.
So the process of peace and reconciliation is still active.
We will see what will happen in the future, yet we will see a two pronged path. One for those who seek peace, and one for those who seek war and conflict.
I am now kind of on my own. I still sense, that the EU and a lot of the good liberals and conservatives are backing my effort.
Yet the grander movers and shakers are moving towards war and conflict.
G-d bless the will to keep seeking for peace, where there is an opening.
Ok, so this is my attempt at explaining what I am trying to do in the UAE.
Four months ago, I send in a proposal to the Zayed green foundation.
I have worked, from the beginning, to try and make peace in the Middle East.
So the dream of Zayed really sparked my vision. I have been working for a long time in Denmark to try and elevate the Danish nature, and have this amazing friend called Hans.
Hans is an aristocrat as I, and have been working with forests his whole life. In his youth he was a lumberjack in Canada. He is big.
We have a lot of other friends. Niels who used to be a true forest artist. He made the forest of Silkeborg as the states forester. I think it is probably the most beautiful place on earth. Hilly, a birthing ground for eagles, it has these clear lakes.
He is in, and Palle is on and Esben. The most talented experienced group of people. They are all in the green forest in the desert in the Arab peninsula.
So the idea is like this.
We gene manipulate crops to be able to be sustained be saltwater. We create a rim of forest along the sea. This creates its own mini bio environment. Making soil, creating clouds and nutrition to sustain a freshwater environment.
So we jumpstart the process along the rims of the Arab word, and then make the process go inland.
We have already a green light off sorts by the university of Aarhus. So the process is real.
We can do it.
Realize that dream of Sheik Zayed.
My point is, this is my attempt at creating positive change in the Arab environment.
Wouldn’t that be a change after the war?
G-d bless the will to find peace and may the Arab world be lush and green again. May we follow the path of good and be the heroes and mighty champions that we really want to be.
When you kill six innocent Jews, you need to ask yourself; why?
Why do we fight, what is it we want to obtain? What is the meaning of the fight in Gaza seen from a Palestinian Arab perspective?
Well, the goal is easy. We want to make a better world. The difficult lie in the method. How do we make that better world?
Here we need to consult history and understand what the angels and g-d has provided us with insight along the way.
The main vehicle for peace and good life in the Arab world has been struggle.
The purity of the desert warriors, is the standard we set, as a bar.
After getting to know these desert warriors especially Sheik Zayed, I can see what the Arabs are talking about. He was a visionary and a good man. He was forged in the heat and unforgiving desert environment. He dreamed of making the desert a home of forests animals and lush greenery.
I share this vision, and I would do all I could to realize it. I have a lot of amazing friends in the forest community here in Denmark, that could do it. Majestic aristocrats, who have been working in the forest for all of their lives.
They are all in.
My point is, the Sheik has a positive vision and he wants things that will make people thrive and be happy.
So the same mindset is important for the Gazan Arab to find. What are the dreams? What do we want.
You are more than welcome in dreaming about proverbial forests in Gaza. See them before your eyes.
If you have that positive vision, the road to a better life is possible.
If you make your life about positivity and good, that is what you get. If you continue fighting just because you are angry, your life will degrade until that who controls you is the dark lord, and not your own vision.
Gaza could be a desert dream. Remember that when you are doing your negotiations.
Make that dream your focus. Living in a tunnel like you do is hell on earth, so be careful don’t give in to the anger.
Be the disciples of Sheik Zayed and make your life a life of forests and joy.
G-d bless the will to see good, act good and speak good. May we finally find peace, and be happy.
The difficulty of finding peace in the Middle East is mainly due, to the lack of international institutions, that try to be neutral in stance and work for peace.
The UN used to be that institution, and Israel was, before the war, a candidate to be that light upon the nations.
So, no-one really lifts this extremely important task.
That is the opening of the EU, in the sense, that EU needs to find its legs in the world, could take.
Would that be good for the EU?
Absolutely. Being a very respected player for peace, that work for the betterment of humanity is something, that will elevate the EU to a new level.
How does the commission then do it?
It applies wisdom to the commission, and helps with advice and speech.
G-d bless the peace we can find, of our institutions work as intended.
There is a kind of a metaphysical question behind the war in Israel/Gaza.
All three monotheistic religions are truly the advocates of angles.
Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
So why are we fighting? It is because we are truly not in the know when it comes to the will of the angels.
We do not always listen. The angels are trying, hard, to be heard.
What do they want? They want to stop the suffering on both sides.
Sometimes, when we are fooled by the other side, the satanic side. We see the angels as the demons.
That is when we are truly and wholesomely fooled.
What do Satan want? He wants us to fight the angels.
Yet there is a very simple way to see if someone is angelic or demonic.
Look at the fruits of their labor.
Is it relief or suffering?
Hell on earth is real in the sense, that there are places in the world, where the demonic thrive. Places of decay and crime. Places where the system abuses the weak.
That is where you find true evil.
True good you find, where there is light and sacrifice. Places where the weak are protected.
G-d bless the will to be honest in word and straightforward in action. May we have peace sooner rather than later.
The European Union is discussing with itself these days how to make a positive impact on the Israel/Gaza war.
First of all, what is the interest of the European Union? That is self evident if you think about it. That is calm and quit.
The conflicts that are in the Middle East are spreading all over the globe and can make things go into a violent gear, fast.
So, this makes it quite easy to see what we want. We want peace.
The same is the true goal of the American administration that is thoroughly involved in the process and has been adamant in making peace.
What is the war really?
It is a reflection of the power play that is in the Middle East.
There are two factions opposing each other. The Russian through Iran and Hamas, plus the Houthis and Hezbollah.
And the Americans through Israel and the Arab nations.
Essentially we are seeing two versions of Islam on each side. Except for the fact that Hamas is Sunni, and that is their Achilles heal. Actually Hamas is closer to the Arabs that the Iranian.
On each side there is propaganda. On the side of Hamas there is the literal projection of the suffering. On Israel the same.
Most of it is real, yet it is used to garner support.
So to keep a clear head and support the peace process, one needs to be neutral and work for the reconciliation.
If the EU work for the peace, it has the potential to take over the role of the UN, that has failed in this endeavor and has fallen for the propaganda.
I am a Jew, and the pain and suffering the families of the hostages feel is like something i wake up in the night to be worried about.
At the same time, I do also recognize the pain on the other side. Milling about up and down Gaza, is painful especially if you have children.
So that is the empathic understanding of the war. To have your wife or child captive in Gaza is a nightmare, we need to sympathize with that. Yet living the ruins of Gaza is also not humane.
Humanism is about seeing things for what they are, truthfully with empathy.
G-d bless the will to find peace in this war that has been going on for too long.
Ok, so now after Mr. Vance has initiated a discussion on the results of Mr. Trumps very good results in the area of economics, it has become a center of interest.
Mr. Trump used my ideas, as Mr. Biden. Trump essentially made the ideas more practical and Mr. Biden developed them even further. That is; protecting American manufacture from the piracy economics of China.
Supporting factories in a way, that they remain competitive.
Shielding the manufacture with good tax on Chinese products, that match the investment the Chinese government did in reducing the prices of the goods. Electric vehicles bring a good example of this principle.
So, my best advice would be for the Obama camp to just continue with what Mr. Biden have been doing. I know that this is not really the main competence of Ms. Harris it is a competence of Mr. Walz.
Yet, matching this record of Mr. Trump is vital.
I know that it is essentially my ideas both camps run on, but there are a lot of difference in implementation, so the practice could and probably should match each other and be compared.
That would be fair. The voters care, because it has a huge impact on their lives. So we need to respect that interest.
G-d bless the economy of the United States of America.
I feel like we are walking along the edge of a massive abyss in Israel.
I get it, the anger and the desperation. Yet, we are actively gambling with the very existence of Israel.
The attack from Hezbollah was designed to really destroy a lot of Israel. The amount of missiles and where they were going.
This could have been a partly destruction of Israel. That we survived that was due to the amazing ability of the IAF, intelligence and the help of the Christian Lebanese.
It is good, that the entire Middle East is essentially trying to avoid an escalation. I mean, a nuclear war in the Middle East. Just the doomsday vision of that is pretty dark.
But we survived this test, and hopefully this is the turning point.
We dont know, but we are walking along the edge of the abyss, and we could fall in.
G-d bless the will to be vigilant and clear in our thoughts.
We have to get to moving in the EU. The signs of dissolution and conflict are all around us. In the Middle East, lately in the UK.
We need to start working on a thorough reform to avoid these conflicts.
The good thing about the EU is, that the EU is much more ready for a positive development than most other countries and federations, because it is still so new.
So can we find an example on where things were really working in the past?
The best, most positive development of the EU was under the leadership of Mr. Jacques Chirac. What did Mr. Chirac do, that furthered the cause of the EU? He was a centrist.
He took the good parts of the right and the good parts of the left and made them the ideas of his reform of the EU.
Add to this, he was a brilliant politician.
So this is a template, that the EU can use to further its solidification in a very turbulent time.
Let’s have a look at the policies of the time.
First of all, there is the economy. Here the Bidennomics is implemented in the EU. That is a protected market, protected from the piracy economics that China is doing with dumping prices in certain markets with state support.
This is a very narrow line to balance, because free markets are important to make sure, that the industries are able to develop under the stress that usually is on a free market. So we have to make sure, that we keep production in Europe, and at the same time do not make the European economy state sponsored.
It is already on its way, and hopefully it will create as much work in Europe as in the US, where we have the greatest job boom in a long time, due to these policies.
The thing is one working job makes 6-10 jobs in the service sector. That is why production is so valuable seen from an economical perspective and from a union perspective.
Secondly there is security. Again here we have a hornets nest. If we do not get it right, civil war may ensure.
How do we tackle that?
First of all, we DO NOT talk about race. If we fuel the race wars, then we get race wars. So, what we do, is to clamp down on islamists in our counterterrorist work. That is not all Muslims only ISIS and the like. If we have acts of terrorism as we have had in Germany, we make sure that the terrorist and the terrorist infrastructure is treated with all means of the security apparatus. At the same time, normal, peaceful and respectable Muslim, are treated with respect.
We all have civil rights.
Thirdly there is the discussion of the army.
We need to protect our borders, and if we want to make a place where we can process asylum seekers in Rwanda or the like. We need to have the ability to secure that process.
So, the EU wants an army, to do some of these things.
How do we do that?
We just put up a central command.
Soldiers obey orders. BUT we RESPECT the traditions of the armies.
We cannot change how the armies work, but we can COORDINATE the different tasks that the army does.
So that is quite easy, if we treat the process under a light umbrella.
Make a central command, man it with a federal general, an admiral and coordinate the forces of the federation.
Fourthly, there is green change and domestic energy production.
We are already working quite hard on that here in Denmark/Germany and it should just be more focused and step up in tempo.
And lastly, we need to unite and not be divided. We do this by strengthening the institutions, make them better.
G-d bless the will to make the EU work and prosper.
Ok, it seems to me, that the direction of the European Union is tossed back and forth in the international events around it.
I truly believe, that the crux of the matter is; will we in The Union be able to chart our own course.
This does require, that we make institutions that are sound and working.
How do we do that?
Well as in the US under Kamala or Barack, we do it by STRENGTHENING the effectiveness and quality of the institutions.
We make our systems more just, enlightened and fair.
If we do that, we have something to show the European voter.
G-d bless the will to make the European countries sound and prosperous.
So, we need to make a more solid base for the current Democratic contender to stand on.
What may this be?
The main force of Ms. Harris is her many years of service to the justice system. She fought for the dispossessed and weak in our society. She fought for women being sexually harassed, against big corporations and so on.
That is her true strength.
So Kamala, use that.
Work for a United States of America where the little guy is protected. Where those who are the victims get to be supported by the justice system.
I mean, you have all the experience you need to make a case out of that point in the Democratic policy manual.
Use your strength.
G-d bless the will to make a justice system that is even better than what we have. Where the little guy, the victim is taken care of, and the strong is curbed so that the weak may live.
Ok, this is the last stretch of the peace negotiations. I could say a lot about the strategy involved, the potential conflict and so on.
Yet, this is not about strategy. It is about people, and how people feel in a world, where there is so much at stake.
I know how it is to be put down. I have been put down, over and over and over again. By the most cruel of bullies.
So, being at the receiving end of a punch bag game, I know how it feels.
Do you know what I want? I want my soul to be sound, I want my life to be like everybody’s else’s. I want my kids to be able to look at me and be proud for what I do. I know that many people look down at an artist like me. Why do you use so much time on a blog, that has no money to be payed to you. Grow up, cut your hair and get at job like everybody else.
I am not respected very much where I live.
But I believe in what I do makes a difference for people around the world. I believe, that the dignity that I should be able to feel, should be conferred to someone else.
Israel, if you really want to live in peace with the Palestinian Arab, show them that you respect them. That is all they really miss from you.
A simple eye leveled understanding that you are also a human being, and maybe we are not of the same religion, but you have as much value as I have.
I say this, from the bottom of my heart, as the reserve king of the Jews. I respect you.
Let that be the currency you require, and you will be at level with your own wants and secret needs.
This is the message, and thereby let there be peace.
G-d bless the will to make peace with respect, from people to people. G-d bless the people of Israel, and in the same moment the people of Palestine.
How is Europe going to compete in the Green Change wave?
To me, that rests on the initiative that Denmark/Germany is doing in the north when it comes to Power to X.
I am working on a new TV station ptx-tv.dk, my hope, is, that we can, somehow, get the whole technological movement on rails.
The thing is, if you compare power to X, that is, essentially to use renewable energy like windmills, solar panels and so on to make fuel. If you compare this to the use of electric vehicles, the power to x movement offers some really interesting plusses. First of all, it is clean, all the way through. From making the power to using it. No batteries, no CO2 and so on.
Also, it could be a possible income for Europe. If we make the fuels ourselves, we are not dependent on buying it somewhere.
So what are the hurdles?
The hurdles are essentially technical development. We have to make the energy cheaper or at least as cheap as fossile fuel.
So investing in R and D is essential. That is what we are doing, so hopefully, down the road, we are in a position to REALLY commercialize the processes and make our own fuels. It is technically possible, so we should just do our best to make it.
Secondly we need some first class communication around it. We need to make people see the good of this green Change.
That is what I am trying to do, to the betterment of all of Europe.
One day, we will also be united, it is a matter of doing things that makes sense.
Making fuel here in Europe, is one of those projects that makes sense.
G-d bless the will to make green Change in Europe.
What a wonderful speech both of Ms. Harris as well as Mr. Walz. Well done guys, coming from 0 to 110% in a few weeks.
That is really well done.
First of all, the support of the unity is, to my mind absolutely paramount. We need to stand together to save the American democracy.
United we stand divided we fall.
Also, doing that work in the world is the mission.
So, well done. You are going to rock!
G-d bless Ms. Harris and Mr. Walz.
Ok, so I have had a kind of request from the dutch royal family.
Her highness Amalia Beatrix Carmen Victoria has put out a feeler about trying to reflect on her education, direction of her career and so on.
It could be a good challenge. I believe the current educational system is good, yet it does not reflect much on the traditions of royalty that comes all the way back from ancient Egypt.
To know the more basic ideas and principles of royalty is very important, if you wish to make a modern approach.
Knowledge of tradition should be married to renewal.
So this is the offer.
If you wish, I would be open to make a mentorship or be a teacher in some capacity to the crown princess.
Preferably as a kind of home teacher in the sense, that we do not make it very official, just work the curriculum together and reflect on the challenges that the your crown princess meet on her way. How about that?
We could take a talk about it, free of responsibility and charge.
You can contact me on asgertrierengberg@protonmail.com or call me +45 2712 5191
G-d bless the royal family of the Netherlands.
So, talking about economy. I have tried to elevate the discussion, I have a few other things to talk about.
So, as I tried to relay, economy is essentially how to make the “house” of the state work. Bion, a classical philosopher, has this interesting idea about the society being like a physical body.
The parliament the head, the hands the institutions, the feet the rules of the state and so on.
There is some truth to it, in the sense, that the state body has limbs and it all ties together in one body.
So, the household is about treating that body so that it works to highest efficiency and best soundness.
Soundness being justice in a platonic view.
If there are parts of the system that does not work, uses too much money, has ways of working that is not cost efficient or is in lack of empathy and so on. Economics is about mending these issues, so that is works again.
It is off cause money getting in and money getting out. But it is ALSO the way we spend our money.
How do we prioritize and so on.
G-d bless the will to see the state as an able body, that can be better.
Ok, so these are my reflections on the issues of the DNC. I still need to see some of the speeches, so I will go more en depth with the speeches later.
Yet, these are my initial reflections.
First of all, the whole unity, paradise theme really seems to work with the voters. They want that. That is just amazing.
I had tears in my eyes, when Michelle and Barack talked about it. That is hope having a comeback. Well put Michelle.
So looking at the deeper mechanics of this. I think it is very important that we are able to talk about the how’s and why’s.
This ties back to the whole discussion on renewing the institutions. The point of the first pilgrims and their mission, was to make the perfect society. That was the dream, that the United States of America is essentially build upon.
To understand what that means, you have to understand where the first pilgrims got their inspiration and what their ideas were.
They got it from reading the Bible, and that is really where we need to understand what they meant.
The Bible, the Torah and the Koran are essentially a story about making a perfect society. Eden is, in the Middle East, the first city.
So, the Bible tells us about the making of that perfect society. You have to read around and into the understanding the time that the Bible was written, to truly understand what they meant in the Bible.
That is why I have written my book Eden, to make it accessible for a modern reader.
In essence, what they meant was, that the perfect society has the perfect system of law, the perfect system of education, the perfect business environment including banks, the perfect religion and the perfect family.
All these state institutions tie together to make a society where people are happy.
That is really the whole point of the Bible, seen from at political perspective.
So, the actual work, if you want to bring joy to a society is to make the institutions better. Improve them.
Each institution needs an overhaul, to be better.
That is really the interesting part. Because how do we make better schools, better law, better business, better families, religious structure and so on.
The answer is; that we Change it, into less corrupted, more just, more enlightening, more well working.
That requires idealism, for each state institution.
That is how you make joy.
G-d bless the will to make joy in the United States of America.
Joe, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your over fifty years of serving the United States of america.
An endless work, that very few could have done like you.
When you hand over power in the fashion you have done, things are just pointing in the direction of a better world.
It has been hard, and the ups and downs have been many. Yet looking back, what you have done, has made a better world.
You have stood by what you have believed in. In a staunch and proud manner that few have like you.
You have set an example very few have done before you, or is there any who have ever done, what you have?
I have had a little experience with handing over power to challengers of a younger kind.
I remember when I was young and stepped onto the scene of politics and journalism, I just swore, that I wouldn’t be in the way of the challengers. So actually for a long time, I stood by when someone came a challenged my position.
I did not work, one of the challengers just went all into war mode. He almost destroyed NATO.
So, there is a new young journalist challenging my position in the debate right now. This time, I reached out to him, to try and relay my many years of experience.
In a way, that I hope will really help him succeed.
He actually listens, and he is an amazing journalist. He is just amazing. So, we can talk and I can help him be a better journalist.
I hope you keep on helping Kamala and Tim. Your experience and honestly just amazing character is an example to learn from.
So, helping Tim especially, is important. He is a bit in need of help. He would definitely appreciate to learn from your experience.
Just in a subtle and respectful way, so that he can make his own way.
In this way, the line of succession is kept sound and good.
