Ok, as I understand, Turkey is, more or less considering leaving NATO, or at least threatening to do so, due to the continuous burning of the holy book of the Muslims, the Koran.
This has come to the point, where the integrity of NATO is tested. It is a great problem, and with great problems we need to see great solutions.
At the heart of the conflict, lies the Mohammad cartoon crisis, that sparked the conflict between Denmark and the Muslim world. Something, that I thought was a bit less, at least.
But it is still simmering beneath the surface.
Here is a possible solution to the problem. The foreign minister of Denmark, needs to go to Turkey, and start a conversation.
That would at least soothe some of the tension.
So far, he has not been willing to do so, but maybe this new conflict will give him the incentive to do so.
Putting pressure on Denmark as a nation, could be a possibility as well.
So far, the foreign minister do not seem that interested in solving the problem, only sitting around doing nothing.
Where is the Danish foreign minister in this?
G-d bless the will to try and solve the problems, and not just sitting around idly.
I have worked quite a lot on the understanding of what it is to be a humanist.
This hit the vogue in the both the Italian as well as the French renaissance and is now hitting again in the Danish renaissance.
After reading Heraclitus, inspired by a wonderful conversation I had with a beautiful lady, imagine that, I have come a few steps further in my understanding of humanism
The light is the truth. This is written in all the sources, especially Plato in his famous cave allegory.
But from there on the next question is; how does it really function, this enlightenment business.
As a base of understanding we have the cave allegory that essentially tells us, that enlightenment is dangerous and often not very welcome. The philosophers (academics) are supposed to, as a martyrdom, to profess the truth anyway, something this blog has done, to the prescribed martyrdom. Endless persecution, ridicule and so on. But that is the business of enlightenment, or as we say in my family’s newspaper “the highest enlightenment”, something we got from Brandes a philosopher of great strength, and a founding father of Israel.
But there is a bit more to it. Apart from the martyrdom of the true humanist, as he is professing truth, there are two modes of enlightenment. That of the sun, and that of the moon. The light of the sun g-d Ra and the moong-d Isis.
The light of Ra is fierce and blinding, the light of Isis is soothing and not blinding.
So if you shine like the sun, you get all the trouble, and if you shine like the moon, you get less trouble. You still get trouble, as my own miserable life is a testament to, but you tend to survive.
These are the conclusions I have found so far, but there is more.
Heraclitus adds to this understanding in the sense, that he tells us a bit about the process in a wider time perspective. One act of enlightenment will get you either martyred or will at least make you unpopular. But what is the point really? This is where Heraclitus adds to the understanding. He talks about the moral purity of the world.
When there is no light, there is only wicked and evil. When there is light, there is purity of ethics. The shearing enlightenment, just imagine in the time of classical Egypt the new dynastic rulers, aided by the temples of Heliopolis (the city of light, On) when descending on society, to give enlightenment to the people. It must have been a spectacle of imaginable beauty and fierceness, something we can only try to understand today, and the reason why Egypt has lived for seven thousand years.
We say we live in an enlightened world. I don’t think so, we do not have the very immense power, that the ancients had at their height of civilisation. We are living in a age of darkness far away from those day of light. There will not be a catharsis in our civilisation in the foreseeable future, because we are too far away from the source, and have forgotten the points of the enlightenment process, much less are we able to do it.
But, and this is the good news, we now KNOW why.
And with that information, maybe there will be another beautiful renaissance.
G-d bless the will to learn from the ancients, lest we do not forget our valiant tasks of enlightenment.
Trying to understand the world today is difficult, if we have no way to learn from past experience.
This is an area, where I have worked quite a bit.
One of the things that has been a really difficult subject, has been the subject of information.
It is a bit ironic, that some of those who are supposed to be enlighteners and truth seekers are the ones who, today, are not shedding light on the corruption of society.
Let me try and explain.
The Greek philosopher Heraclitus was a student of Egypt. He was a nobleman and according to the philosopher Teichmuller (who’s supposed to be an inspiration to Nietzsche), Heraclitus was a student of Egyptian lore.
So, his ideas are really Egyptians, at least inspired by Egypt, a lot of the ancient philosophers studied in Egypt; Plato, Aristotle, Socrates.
Anyway, what does Heraclitus say about enlightenment?
He says, that a society sometimes needs a clean up to work. He calls it a “Catharsis”.
A purification.
I have pondered this a lot. It is a very radical thing to do. Cleanse the society of corruption. But given the fact, that Egypt lived for five thousand years, they must of gotten something right.
My theory is, that Heraclitus was tought some of the wisdom of how the Egyptians managed to live for such a long time.
Sometimes, society needs a cleansing, that is actually the deeper meaning of the eye of Ra, that is so openly shown on many media.
But this eye of Ra, is it really doing what it is supposed to do? Looking out for corruption?
My point is, what we are going through is a catharsis. Through social media, a lot of the corruption of society is revealed, and this proces, though it is very painful, is actually very healthy for society in general.
Egypt managed to survive for five thousand years, and still is here, today, a shadow of itself, but non the less, it is still here.
One of the methods it used to keep healthy, was to undergo phases of cleansing, fases of purification in terms of idea and ethics.
I don’t know, if that was in the process of dynastic changes. Sometimes new families became pharaohs.
But the method of ethical purification is what we are going through, and that will be good for us.
G-d bless the will of the light, to shine upon the world, so that it will be a good world.
Lately, there has a lot of talk about the illuminati, the lightbringers. People think, that this famous yet secret group og high players are evil, this and that.
But the thing is, that the illuminati are the very core of western civilisation. Let me explain, and this goes for the free masons as well.
The royal groups, because essentially that is what the illuminati and free masons are, is a group of nobels, that has gone under ground, because of the persecution that was after them in the french revolutions.
In many ways, this group of high players are actually the losers of some of the movements of our society 300 hundred years ago. They have tried to survive going under ground.
This leaves us the question, what are they really trying to do?
First of all, we need to see them for what they are. They are worshipping Egyptian deities, especially the G-d Ra, that is the sun g-d. You can see it on all the iconography that is all over, where these guys are. On the dollar bill, for one, they put a pyramid and an eye, the eye of the sung-d Ra.
What is supposed to mean?
Well, I guess they don’t really know it themselves, and that is really the strange thing with the illuminati. They don’t really know what the ideas of the sung-d Ra is teaching, because they basically have been reading what we call ‘hermetic’ texts. Or rather some texts that comes from the Hellenic period of ancient Egypt. Good as these texts are, they are not really covering what the priest at the temple were teaching.
Let’s have a look at this.
The light is truth.
That is the whole idea about enlightenment, that seems to have gone a bit over the heads of the illuminati. They are supposed to spread the truth, lies being the anathema to lies.
Enlightenment is spreading truth.
But, and this i very important. Truth is also the very basis of law, according to the ancient Egyptian philosophy. Another point that is not in the hermetic texts.
So as academia is essentially also a light cult, one could look to Plato, to understand what was going on. Plato studied for ten years in classical Egypt, so he is actually a much more precise conveyor of the ideas of Kemet, the classical Egyptian university, or Aristotle for that matter, who was also a student of Kemet.
But, and this is extremely important, if you want to be a lightbringer, you should remember, that the light is the truth.
Remember that, and you are one step closer to true enlightenment. It’s tough, because truth seekers are usually not that popular. But it is the very idea of enlightenment.
G-d bless the will to seek light, and may it shine upon us.
The impetuous for the United States of America to counter China is the most difficult issue concerning American foreign policy. Yes Ukraine is a great problem, but it is essentially not really dangerous.
I mean, really, do we see Russia conquering all of Europe? Russia is quite open about the goals of their latest push into Ukraine, it is about the Russian speaking parts of Russia.
Russia has absolutely not anything to gain from controlling Europe, and the European states are not really interested in the war. So it will be a push back and forward, and ultimately someone will have the control of Luhansk and Donetsk. But it does not threaten the entirety of middle Europe.
There is no true motive.
But the other part of the conflict, that of China is much more dangerous. Essentially China has everything to gain from dominating the world economically, and has openly been trying to use British bank methods to do so. Trying to build an empire for themselves.
They give some kind of “gift” to a poor developing country, and then control the country through debt.
That is an attempt at copying British empire building right there. It is all about controlling natural ressources and getting acces to markets.
That is both wise and morally acceptable to counter. Maybe the poor countries accept the ruse, but the control is pretty awful, and I mean the poor countries just got out of the dominance, why pick a new master?
But we need to be careful, because the threat of nuclear war is there. So we need to counter China, but be very predictable in our moves. It is fair, that the chinese meet opposition, I mean, what did they expect, that they could just walk all around the world, and shape it to their mind?
Guys the world is a very dangerous place, and just moving without an eye to international politics is both dangerous and forces the rest of us to counter the threat according to a wise set of moves.
So encroaching China seems to work, the industrial prowess has been halted, the empire building has been stopped, in fact the US is dominant in the Americas and in Asia. But we are challenged in the Middle East and Europe.
The only way to counter that threat is to encroach China, and stop it, but we should be very careful not to push it to nuclear annihilation.
But I mean playing the international power game is not the same as pushing the red button of nuclear annihilation. There has not been one physical confrontation between China and the US until now, except from very minor moves.
Hopefully now, when the Danish local secret service have been tackled, I can actually work on the political scene again with a bit more stability. It is pretty difficult to support the international efforts of the US, while as the PET (the local secret service) is trying to destroy my life all the time.
So, all in all a very positive development. So we hope PET have learned the boundaries between their local and international commitment.
G-d bless the will to be honest in approach and very, very, very strong in conviction.
Well, thank you very much Joe, for the application of ms. Frederiksen as NATO secretary. It is a very good call.
First of all, seen from my own perspective, having a close relation in NATO will make it much more easy to communicate on different defense issues. Secondly putting ms. Frederiksen as the head of NATO will give the Turks a feeling, that the more diplomatic treatment of the difficult issue of Islam is under control.
It is not going to be perfect, but the continuous provocations and conflict will be less, and we will work with diplomacy, if a conflict arises.
This gives NATO the necessary organisational stability to counter the threat of the Ukraine conflict.
For me personally it will mean, that the local secret service FINALLY realises, that I am not a part of the problem, but the solution to the conflicts we have here. Good for me, it will mean, that I can finally be a peace with the secret service, and good for the secret service, that can finally be a part of the international community, that has shunned them as a result of the persecution of me.
A win all around.
But we need to keep an eye on the other front as well, the Chinese front. It is, by comparison, more or less under control.
We may end up in a full scale war, but there are good signs as well. We are ahead in the industrial game, and we can win that confrontation, if we play our cards well. We have the power to do it.
It is a balance between tools of power and industrial output. Right now we have the best tools of power, and China is hedging its bets on industrial power.
So we fight in a tandem here.
Knowing the game, gives us an advantage.
As when Rome was challenged by the Phoenicians in the Punic wars, grit, unity and being honest about these issues are the way to go.
The Phoenicians didn’t want to face the challenge, not until the Romans were at their very gate. Then the troops were fat, untrained and not good. Only Hannibal and his few veterans were up to the task. The rest were just cut down by the centurions of Scipio Africanus, the great Roman hero of that time.
So seeing things with an honest and keen eye is very important, if we are to learn from the lessons of the Punic wars.
So, we are surviving and getting on with our things, and ms. Frederiksen will be a good choice for NATO secretary.
G-d bless the will to be honest in how you see the world, and be prepared for the worst. Because as the Romans concluded after the Punic wars. Si vis pace, para bellum. If you want peace, prepare for war. Always be prepared.
Ok, I have thought quite a bit about all this thing around coming to England and being friends with the royal house of the British.
Listen, we have been friends for a long time. From when her majesty Queen Elisabeth, blessed be her memory, was there.
I liked her so much, for her integrity and simplicity. She is all that is beautiful and good in this world, and I miss her, a lot, you know. We were friends.
The same goes for Harry. I have watched Harry trying to find a way in this world, from the beginning doing all the sport events, to such success, to all the trouble he went through. I stood up for Harry, and have tried to explain what role he may find, the connection to the country and so on.
And Charles, my G-d, from before the coronation, to the success of that. I was so worried, and William. He will be such a wonderful king, and is already such a good and honest person.
I have been a part of your family, trying to support and give you ideas as to how to make a good royal house for a lot of years, and it has all been from my good and honest heart. I have not taken a penny for it.
So, I am already a part of your amazing family, in many ways.
So, please, what do you do with friends? You invite them over for at cup of tea, to talk about how things are, and things we care so much about. Like making a better world, supporting those with the least, and so on.
But please remember. I am a poor guy. I am writer, and I do not make a lot of money.
So if you want to invite me, please send an escort.
But, it shouldn’t be more complicated than that. I would love to come.
G-d bless the honesty and integrity of the friendship that is important.
One of the things, that is beneath the idea of a royal house, is the idea of honour.
Honour is a thing, that most conservatives are really trying to understand for their own family, and for themselves, especially within the military orders of different kind.
But what is it really? And how does it work.
To understand this, we need to go back in time, and have a look at the very roots of our culture and civilisation.
The roots, or rather one of the deepest roots of our culture is the Hellenic civilisation. Here great heroes of the past used to roam the sapphire blue waters of the Mediterranean. Giving us heroes as Odysseus. Seafarers of great renown and grit.
These ancient kings and valiant men put up cities as Sparta and Athens.
Cities that still ring down the line of historical political ideas. Athens made Democacy and Sparta was the ideal of Socialism.
But they were men at that time, great strong heroes, and they had what we today would call honour.
How did that work for them. Honour were a set of principles, that not only gave the ancients an idea as to how to behave, but also gave not only the king a higher perception but added to the perception of his house or as we call it in danish his “Slaegt”. The idea, that the family is a story of members who each add to the house of the family, giving either good reputation or bad reputation.
Like my slaegt, the Engbergs and the Triers. The Engbergs are renowned for a high measure of ethics, being stalwart defenders of truth and honesty within the judicial system and within the historical area. So my daunting task has been to add to my slaegt, and add some beauty and respect to my line. The Trier slaegt is renowned for a wide contributions to the Danish culture, things as the andelsbevaegelse, the rise of socialism, and a lot of artist. Lars Von Trier has made a bit of a name for him in film.
So each generation adds to the renown and respect to the family name.
That is how honour works, and why it is so extremely important for each generation to add a positive addition to the family name.
It has consequences to the next generation, if you leave your family with a better name, it will prosper, and it will be a good thing for your kids and grandkids. If you leave your life’s work with a worse name to the family, it will again have consequences for the next generation.
This is the key to understanding how the British monarchy may prosper, by building on the previous generations, and setting goals as to how it will prosper by building honour for its house.
G-d bless the will of the British king, and may he prosper. G-d bless good virtue of the realm.
This is a public message for his majesty Charles the III.
Dear Charles, there has been a bit discussion on the issue of me being a friend of the British royal institutions and the new king himself.
To be honest about this issue, and I have been thinking a lot about it, off cause I am a friend of the British royal house. I have been a friend of the royal house for a long time, and hopefully I will continue to be so.
The reasons are quite simple. To me the royal house of the UK is a very, very, very important institution of the entire world. It is a major pillar of conservatism.
So, yes I am your friend, and I would love to continue the conversation in real dialogue.
My mail is available, and we have had, a bit of conversation on Telegram. Please let us continue that.
If not, I will off cause continue supporting the royal house of the British in any meaningful way.
G-d bless the royal house of the British.
Well, it seems to me, that Christianity really has some kind of come back. At least in the US.
It is a bit more difficult in the UK, but the trend is in the right direction.
As a Jew, well, it is all very beautiful, that we can actually contribute to the development of the Christian Churches.
At the core of any faith lies the faith in G-d.
The great debacle that led to a lower faith was the French Revolution, where faith within the institutions was diminished a lot, because it was a part of the the royal institutions of France, that was thrown away.
This was expressed in philosophy of Nietzsche, that expresses the fall of G-d and then in Marxism, that was the political expression of no faith in spirit.
This has led a life until I gave rebirth to G-d again.
That was the pivotal moment. This I do not say to polish my own glory, there is no glory in my work, so far.
But to point to the fact, that the development I have been a part of, has been a turn around for faith.
I mean a solid, physical proof of G-d actually does help. It is real.
Slowly this has been accepted not only in the religious community but also in more broader circles, not least in physics. I have just made I good friend with a psychologist, of the very first rank here in Denmark, who accepts my scientific points.
In other words, the understanding, that G-d is alive, spreads like rings in the water.
There is a long way from the lofty philosophical ideas that I work with, to street preaching. But there is a connection, when the bishops have faith, it is much more easy to have faith being a young preacher.
All in all, the turn around is here.
I could put my academic walking shoes on the shelf today, and still faith will grow, but off cause I willl not. I will plow on, the best I can, with the resources I have. Slowly understanding the metaphysical implications of Anaxagoras especially.
Perhaps even making metaphysics a mainstream subject at Oxford one day.
G-d bless the will to make a renaissance of metaphysics.
Understanding the meaning og perseverance, or really continue as a person through the ups and downs of life.
Seen from a Protestant point of view, one needs to see the culture of Protestantism through the lense of Martin Luther.
Who was Martín Luther?
Martin Luther was the founder of Protestantism, but he was more than that, he was also a monk.
Monks live in monasteries and lives a life of simplicity.
This simplicity is a testament to the very idea of monasteries, that are houses devoted to the elevation of each person in the house of G-d.
In other words, monks live for prayer, supporting those in need, and see material needs as something not so important.
In other words, they work a lot, and do not use a lot of money.
This way of doing things is really what is behind what we see as capitalism. Why are the western countries so rich?
It is because they are hardworking, and not using a lot of money. Putting a penny aside for a rainy day.
But it also lends to the spirit of perseverance. We work, continuesly, to the betterment of the world around us, to do good.
We should see this as something important, the work for at better world, as something more than just the enrichment of ourselves. But as a realization of the world of spirit.
I know, that this is the same, if you are a Christian a Jew or a Moslem. To be a good person, and help those who needs help.
G-d bless the helping hand.
One of the things, that I have personally worked a lot with, is the poorest part of the people of Denmark. People on wealthfare, people loosing their children to the municipality and so on.
This world is dark, to say the least.
More often than not, they have not had a voice to speak out. We journalists have not been able to give them that voice, so they are just floating around, like flotsam in the river, eventually just going under.
It is, by all reckoning devastating and very, very sad.
As I see it, a society is judged upon the way it treats is weakest members.
What really strikes me, is that what is needed, is a strong response in terms of responsibility.
If we are to change the way we have structured our society, we need to respond to this pain and suffering of the weakest members of our society with a strong and vigorous response.
A response that involves faith.
G-d is what is good, and in the world of suffering, priest, rabbis and mullahs are supposed to take those weakest members of society and lift them. Lift them with the grace of the angels.
If we fail to remember, that helping and supporting those in need, is at the very root of monotheism, we fail to remember a very important lesson.
We need to help those poor souls, not just for their sake, but also for our own sake. In the sense, that that is what many of us are ordained and supposed to do.
Be responsible.
G-d bless the will, to listen to those in need, and help where we can. G-d bless the vision of spirit, and may we follow it.
Well, the celebrations of the crowning of his majesty Charles the III is more or less over, and we can, without doubt call, this a very important success.
A good start is a very important thing in any development, and this is exactly what has happened, a very good start.
The citizens of both Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England seems to be supporting the new king, and in extent of this also the institution of the monarchy.
There is a realization that in these times of insecurity, the British crown is a beacon of good manners, direct connection to the people and is an ethical institution.
This is very important to the people of the United Kingdom.
Add to this, there is a widespread recognition of the royal house of Britain, not only in the UK itself, but worldwide. People of the world respects an ancient institution.
This means, as a consequence, that the Anglican Church is also strengthened and the general support of institutions as such.
All in all, good things for the brits, and good things for the world as such, if you care for a world of abundance and peace.
G-d bless the United Kingdom and his majesty King Charles the III, and may he prosper in his service to the British people.
It happens rarely, but when it happens, the ascension of a king to a throne, is a very both festive and important occasion.
What are the vital subjects, that the British monarchy should think about in this day and age?
First of all, the monarchy is the conservative part of society, and should remain so.
Conservatism is not a negative part of society, if conservatism is about supporting the basic principles of society, that is vital for the health of society. The virtues.
Ideally the monarchy is an embodiment of the virtues, of the best part of society.
Being a part of the people, supporting those in need and protection of the realm.
In this day and age, a very politically active monarchy is frowned upon, because monarchy is a part of the democratic institution. But we should not forget that the role of the monarchy; to be a guarantee for the health of the institutions, is extremely important.
Institutions as family, organised religion and nationality.
Society is a balance between ethics and freedom. If a society becomes too free, it corrupts, if it becomes too ethical it becomes stagnant.
So a balance between freedom and ethics is very important for the society to function.
In this day and age, where people need vital institutions such as family and faith, the monarchy is more important than ever.
G-d bless the will of King Charles the III, may his reign be long and prosperous.
The Catholic Church is in a great outreach to the Jewish faith commmunity, and as a Jew, that really lightens my heart.
Knowing both the Christians and the Jews from the inside, let me be a part of this outreach in the sense of, what do we have in common.
At the base, there is this fight for good against evil. It is a thing that goes through both Christianity and Judaism. The angels, are shared between the Jewish and the Christian faith.
Then there is something, I believe, that the Christian Church has got from Judaism, that Judaism does not know, that it has given to the Christians. The softness and warmth.
Jews are so social and supportive of each other. Community is such an integral part of Jewish life. Solidarity in its basic sense of sharing and helping each other has really become a central piece of Christian identity. Church means community.
That community was, originally a standard Jewish community, where people shared, helped and supported each other.
You can see it in the story of Judas, abandoning Jesus Christ, was the highest sin, why?
Because that is a betrayal of the community.
That is a very, very Jewish thing. We are dependent on each other, because, as per usual we are the outcast and the persecuted.
This day and age however, there is a reconciliation going on, and that is good for both Jews and Christians.
G-d bless the will to find peace in between religions.
Well, there are good news regarding to the strength of the US.
First of all, hadn’t we, in the Obama era done a lot of work to turn the economy around, the US would really be in trouble right now.
But due to the reforms we did, reforms that has become a core tenant of the US economy, the US is actually in pretty good shape economically.
But there are a lot of trouble down the road. First of all, the spending. It is actually a problem, that there is so little conservatism in the spending department.
You do not get rich by spending a lot of money, you get rich by SAVING money.
The US is, essentially a Protestant country. I know, that there is a widespread respect for all creeds in the country, and that is good.
But there still has to be a base upon which a country or nation is based.
That is hard work, and not spending too much.
Let me be blunt, overspending is not good for the country. Putting money aside for a rainy day, is however a good strategy.
When Norway had its first oil spree, that really made the country rich, it spend all the money. Then it went bankrupt.
The same is, more or less, happening to the US.
Then Norway made a fund, and put all the oil money in that fund.
So today Norway is both rich, and consolidated.
So saving money is actually most important, when you have money. Save for a rainy day.
Now the economy is getting better. So saving is now important.
But be careful about saving in an ethical way.
If saving is just about the workers and not about the administration, then people tend to be angry.
The way to save is to be fair.
G-d bless the wealth of the US, and may it prevail all the troubles it is in.
Ok, it seems to me, that the strategy of the US, is getting there.
I know, that the war in Ukraine is hanging in a thin thread, and we cannot rely on the Ukrainian forces too much, but we are actually holding the line, and all in all, from a starting point, where we were absolutely in the defense, that is not such a bad outcome.
It illustrates the basic challenge of industrial output, that I have talked so much about. You can be the most skilled warrior in the world, if you have costly and few weapons, that will matter very little.
So in a sense, the Ukrainian war, has put focus on what an army truly needs to do, to really fight.
Add to this, it has stopped the rise of China, in the sense, that a lot of production it used to have, is flowing back to the west.
At the end of the day, that is what really matters.
There is a very little risk of a major war with China, it will, most likely be small skirmishes, and perhaps an invasion of Taiwan, but a full scale war all over the pacific is very little in terms of likelihood.
This gives the US the time needed to ramp up production, and thus remain the leader of the world.
You can be a leader of the world, by taking money from everybody else. But true might is not vassalage, it lies in your own strength.
Having your own production line, will give the US that core strength to be the leader of the world.
It will be a difficult time from now on, but the crisis will, at the end, make you stronger.
We have lured ourselves into sleep, by sleeping on the laurels. Believing, that the might of the US would go on for ever. Nothing goes on for ever, empires rise and fall.
And it comes down to the skill of the leadership, to keep the administration fresh and uncorrupted.
Good news, we are improving. Bad news, that improvement is hard and takes a toll. It is frustrating and difficult.
But, we are getting there.
G-d bless the will of the United States of America.
For a long time, quantum physics, has been the main theory about the universe.
I get it, it makes sense, we as Danes, have contributed to it, through mr. Niels Bohr, and Holger Bech Nielsen. But my criticism has been, in the view of Anaxagoras, who was the inventor of atomic physicism (he was a predecessor to Democritus, who is currently named the inventor of atomic physicism), that Anaxagoras sees G-d in the Ether.
Ether as a substance has largely fallen out of grace in the world of phycisists. Maybe it did not make much sense.
But to me, that is really where the answer lies to the question of where and what G-d is.
There is, according to Anaxagoras a soup of intelligence, inbetween all matter. This substance is, as I understand it, Ether.
It is a substance that goes through all matter, and is besides all matter.
Only at birth and death is there a direct link between Ether and the material realm. When we are born, a small part of the Ether enters into our realm and thus creates life.
Intelligence is life, in all life.
So to me, the discussion on quantum physics in regards to spirituality has taken a turn that does not make much sense. Quantum physics is a description of the material realm, since Quants are a part of the basic building blocks of the material realm also called atoms by Anaxagoras.
It is in the understanding of the Ether, that there is really a metaphysical explanation as to what G-d is.
We can REACH through the Ether, through prayer, and some of the manifestations we see in our world. The help of angels, and the destruction of demons or the fallen angels.
But to truly understand the physical reality of spirit, we have to understand the existence and reality of the Ether.
G-d bless the will to understand, through nuclear physics, the reality of G-d.
There has been a lot of water flowing under the bridge, since I proved the existence of G-d.
I know that metaphysics is not in vogue these days, but the prove still stands.
I have tried to get in contact with the danish physicists, that are leading in Quantum physics, because it was mr. Niels Bohr, that invented quantum physics. I have wanted to present this work at the next symposium at Oxford, but due to the problems I have had with the danish authority, they have made a bit of a witch hunt towards all Islamic critics of Denmark, I have not really been able to come forth with this work, not to mention, that I may be famous in Denmark, but am also pretty notorious, because of my conservative views on nation building, business and so on.
Anyway, to continue the discussion on spirit and the prove of G-d. I have proven, that g-d is intelligence or NOUS, as defined by Plato and his master Anaxagoras.
Spirit is, according to Anaxagoras a kind of medium in between all matter. Some call it the ether.
This has been with me for the last ten years, and too be honest, my own understanding of G-d was there, and after that, I have tried to experiment with the spiritual realm.
Mainly by contacting Angels.
I have really tried to understand the concept of Angels and Demons, since the eternal fight according to the monotheistic creeds is between the Angels and the Demons, or the fallen angels.
My experience is this, and I have been very much in doubt about my publication of these thoughts, but I think it is time, because the world seems to have accepted that there is a G-d, but the discussion on Angels and Demons, that is the next step in this discussion is just starting.
Because, if there is a G-d, this means, that there may also be Angels and Demons.
Again what does this mean to the Platonic understanding as G-d as intelligence. The truly astounding answer is, and hold on to your armchair. The logic conclusion is, that there is a STRUCTURE in this realm of G-d. There are actually BEINGS in this realm of spirit.
In other words, there are both Angels and Demons, and they move about in this intelligence.
Sometimes interchanging with our own world.
The interchange is an eternal battle between good and bad, because Angels are good, and Demons are bad.
This again, gives a lot of meaning to the priest, rabbis and mullahs, because then what is it really that these servants of the Angels do?
They fight for Angels against Demons.
That is the very idea of monotheism.
That is a very daring step, I know. But all logic points to this conclusion.
G-d bless the will to support the Angels in the eternal struggle against evil and Demons.
Ok, it seems to me, that the negotiations between Denmark and Turkey is getting somewhere. I know that we cannot get all the we want, but there is a mutual dialogue, and I am, for one, actually hopeful, that we will get somewhere.
Negotiations are possible, we did it with the Iranians, and we can do it with the Turks. It is, essentially a matter of respect. Do the Turks feel respected or not.
I hope, that my stance, that we in the Islamic critical substrata, will respect the Turks due to the difficult situation with Ukraine.
Essentially we have a war with the Russians, and we cannot fight both wars at once.
Add to this, mindless provocation may prove a point, but it is essentially just a provocation.
So, with this, I hope that the Turks, will accept our stance, in the interest of NATO. NATO is more than each member, it is a sum of nations banding together to fight for justice and the protection of each member.
G-d bless the will to find a peaceful solution to the conflict between Denmark and Turkey.
There is a great problem within NATO. It all started with the Dane Rasmus Paludan going to Stockholm and burning the Koran.
He has been doing this over and over for the last four years.
As a demonstration, demonstrating the superiority of democracy over Islam.
I have not said anything yet, I mean this is a new generation, and all.
But after I realised the consequences for NATO, I did, very loudly tell him to stop.
This is not a demonstration anymore, this is just annoyance.
The Turks seem pretty satisfied with this, but still want more subjugation.
This can now only come from the political system. Because the artists have, more or less, stopped.
So this means, our foreign minister Lars Loekke.
Lars Loekke was the second in command during the Mohammed cartoon crisis, and is the most senior politician left from that time.
He has been very silent on the issue however, and that seems to indicate, that he is, honestly shrinking his responsibilities.
He is supposed, as foreign minister in a conflict between Denmark and Turkey, to find a way to solve the problem.
At least initiate the dialogue.
So, this falls on his doorstep now, and my attitude is, we don’t have all the time in the world to solve this problem. We are very hard pressed on all fronts, and this issue needs to be dealt with, now.
I know, that that is a great pressure to put on the foreign minister. But that is the name of the game.
So, Turkey COULD initiate the dialogue, by contacting, officially, the embassy of Denmark. There is the issue with Rasmus Paludan, so we could start there. That would force the squirrel out of the hole.
G-d bless the will to find a peaceful solution to the conflict between Denmark and Turkey.
Well, we have, more or less come to the conclusion in regards to the conflict between the danish islamcritics and Turkey, that the key to the problem lies in the dialogue between Denmark and Turkey.
Here is my proposal.
Let mr. Lars Rasmussen make a diplomatic mission to Turkey, to try and find a solution to the problem.
It will involve some kind of understanding between Denmark and Turkey.
But the solution lies in the peace, that Denmark and Turkey can find.
G-d bless the peace we can find in NATO.
Talking about green change, what we should consider is the fact, that there is a deep conflict between the agricultural sector, and the ideas of new production methods.
We cannot just decide for the agricultural sector to do this or that. The farmers are a conservative lot, and they need to be in the loop themselves.
It has come quite far in Denmark, and we are actually reaching some kind of synthesis of the agricultural world with green change.
Unfortunately, the new government seems to be totally inept of doing anything, so the development of this sector needs to be done with the EU or other players.
Things are simply not moving at all.
But if we can actually make things move, in other ways, there is a way to further green change.
It has to be based on the respect of all the farmers, and also on the ideas of agricultural products that will actually work.
So, my attitude to this issue is, that we need to focus on the bright ideas that are around the globe, and make them work.
It is almost there in Denmark, and only due on an absolute disastrous handling of the area are we not in conclusion.
Anyway, please, in order for this area to work, we need to make plans, that will respect the integrity and world of the farmers, and marry this world with new ideas.
G-d bless the will to find solutions to the issues of green change.
The conflict with Turkey is drifting further and further into full blown animosity.
What are the roots of this animosity. Essentially it is the conflict between Democracy on one side, and Islamism on the other side.
Islamism being the political version of Islam.
Endogan has been a proponent of Islamism, and has, quite officially, supported Islamic State.
This is a problem, when these organizations are spreading havoc in the West through terror.
Also there is the alliance between the US and the Kurds.Kurds who are, mostly, social democrats.
Anyway, we have tried, through numerous means, to find a way with the Turks, who are not willing to give a green light to the acceptance of Sweden into Nato. Why? because Sweden is the place in Europe, where Islamism has made its strongest roots, so there is a widespread animosity towards this in Sweden.
Rasmus Paludan is just a symptom of this. Ok, he is a fool, but he is a symptom of a deeper problem.
What do we do in the West? We are open towards the issue, and try to tackle it.
We have an enemy behind the lines, and not tackling it, is very dangerous.
G-d bless the will to be vigilant in observation and swift in action. When and if the terror actions start again.
Ok, the eastern front of the American influence is in trouble. The first and foremost of these troubles is the lack of cohesion within NATO.
It goes all the way back to the Cartoon crisis and the obvious conflict between the Islamic world and the West.
It was fueled by the demonstration of Rasmus Paludan who, for the 300 time burned the wholiest book of the Muslims.
Again he is definitely not my invention, and I see the way he provokes as an attempt to make the conflicts deeper.
We have to settle on some kind of compromise, otherwise there will never be a NATO including Turkey, so here is my proposal.
We respect the sacrosanct nature of the holiest book of the Muslims. But we still do fight terrorism.
Terrorism defined as open attempts at destroying the public peace. Like bombings, violence with a religious motive and so on.
We try to confine to attempt at curbing terroism to parts of the Muslim world that is openly hostile to the West as Al Qeada, Islamic State and other radical Muslim organizations.
In this way, there is an attempt at a compromise.
If Turkey has other items it sees as important as protected for muslims, put these items forth, and we will have a debate.
G-d bless the will to find a compromise, and ultimately find peace.
Well, there seems to be a choice the liberals have to do in regard to Islam. Are we going to pander them, or are we going to find a civil and progressive way to counter them.
9/11 is a long way back, and people have moved on.
But, we have to be careful. I get it, Rasmus Paludan is mess. I ABSOLUTELY agree. I don’t like him, he is uncivil, and in all ways, it is just a mess.
To me, he is exactly what we are not supposed to be, and I will just let the Turks now, he was NOT my invention. On contrary I have been a part of the Islam critics who have been most adamant in opposing him.
He is terrible.
I believe in slow progress, and defined goals. I believe in listening and fighting civil.
I also believe in finding peace with my adversaries.
He is all that is opposite of this.
So please, I understand, that he is a nuisance, and I absolutely agree.
We should progress civil, with small steps and maybe even find peace.
That said, I still believe in fighting. I fight, but I do it not on all Muslims, but on islamists.
G-d bless the will to be honest in approach and civil in fighting.
Ok, it seems to me, that everybody agrees,that woke is not the Way forward. On both sides, but then what, begs the question?
I have pointed to Democratic Humanism as the answer, and that, then again, begs the question, what is really Democratic Humanism?
Here we have to honest about this creed, that brought us things like the Statue of Liberty, the pyramid on the one dollar bill, and made Washington D.C. into an Egyptian city, with steles and geometry.
Mysteries are good, but if you don’t understand the mysteries, then I guess you end up believing in more simple ideas.
Anyway, let us start where mr. Giordano Bruno left off; at what they called “hermetic”. You must forgive me for delving into the mysteries beneath Western culture, this is not to find a negative thing, but to truly find the very, very positive roots of western thought.
Anyway, mr. Bruno read a collection of texts called hermetic texts, that were essentially a mix of classical Egyptian as well as classic Greek texts.
Someone must have found them in the crusades or something. But they were, most probably written in Alexandria when the Greeks occupied Egypt.
To be honest, I have read most of the source material. And they are not a VERY high level, compared to prime source like Plato, Aristotle, Anaxagoras and Pythagoras who were writers who wrote in an earlier times than the hermetic, and actually studied in the immensely famous Egyptian university of Kemet.
These texts are essentially reflections on the earlier philosophers.
BUT, it points to the philosophical basis of the first humanists; they were platonists and LOVED Egypt. This is why we see the pyramid on the one dollar bill.
The philosophical ideas being enlightenment. That is to stand up for truth, light being the truth. That is the philosophical point of the Statue of Liberty. Her light is the truth, and I guess that is why it is so immensely important, that for this day and age, the new media still reflects the base ideal of truth shining. Not only into the U.S., but also to shores far above. As soon as this base idea is left for darkness, the U.S. will falter and become weak. But does it fill the world with beautiful truth, it will be strong.
So that is the base. Truth as light.
G-d bless the will to be faithful to the light of the United States of America.
To me, democratic humanism, is really the logical step after rev. Martin Luther Kings call for civil rights.
Woke is not focused on rights, but on race, and I truly believe, that if there is a positive focus on rights, we can actually create a platform, where we all meet despite the color of our skin.
In the Roman times, what happened at the Nicea convention in 325, the Roman world, tried to create a faith, that included all the peoples of the Roman world. That was the first steps of the Christian religion.
The powerful example of that was, that it is actually possible, through religion, to make a basis, that all agree upon.
In these day and age, the British empire cannot be defined by religion, because it is so diverse, but it can be defined by its political structure, that of democratic humanism.
The vision of this, to make a base, that is encompassing all those in the British empire, is what we need to do.
And it seems to me, that democratic humanism is the way, at least, from what I have understood in the different symposiums that I have attended in Oxford.
So, that is a way, that is acceptable for all.
Not least the Americans, who are the harbingers of this idea. Democratic humanism is the political base of the U.S., it goes all the way back to the founding fathers, the free masons and ultimately to Giordano Bruno, who were the leading idealist of the Italian renaissance, that created the free masons and the other secret societies.
So, democracy should be the valiant cry upon the lips of the troops.
G-d bless the will to be faithful to democracy.
Well, the discussion on woke has been going back and forward for some time now. To be honest, I REALLY like the father of woke, Adorno, who is a religious, democratic humanist as me. Ok, there are some of his ideas, I think is a little outdated. But at the core of his thinking, he is really good.
After a long interview with a friend of mine, mr. Kaspar Bonde, we tried to compare the ideas of democratic humanism with woke, and to be honest, I think that democratic humanism trumps woke on one very important point, it does not include race as an idea.
The acceptance and understanding of all people, without any eye to race is, to me, the right answer to people who hold the white man supreme to Jews, is to ACCEPT anyone without any regard to color. To me, color should be of absolutely no consequence. That is what rev. King talked about. A world, where skin color does not matter.
I believe, that Adorno has the same ideals, and I hope we end there. Because that is the way to make the conflicts smaller and the unity stronger.
G-d bless the will to be honest in perspective, and not see skin color as important.
Well, to understand the present, you need to understand your past. I am reading Berkeley these days a prominent philosopher of the 17´th century.
In his days, philosphy was mostly a discussion of perception. How do we understand things (Descartes) and what does that do to our understanding of reality.
I mean, that is not the most dangerous of political subjets. It is in fact not really political.
Today, the ideas we discuss are mostly political, at least within the European family; Trier, Marx, Hegel.
It has spread to the US with Adorno and Heidegger, but it is really still here in central Europe, that the German tradition is living and breathing.
First of all, just becuase we lead in this area, does not make our ideas perfekt. I mean, Marx ideas were far from perfect, and they destroyed the world, in a sense, whereas Hegel ideas were good for Germany, but it was also the background of many a battle.
My ideas, the latest branch on the tree, has, so for, not lead to much bloodshed, but more to constructive solutions to complex problems.
I have given this a lot of thought, why is it, that my ideas are so much more hands on. I mean, Descartes was in his own head, most of the time, did he ever get out of it?
Hegel was a tower of thought, that was produced in a tower of shining ivory.
I think it has to do with the openness of the world. The internet, essentially, and then just, by coincidence, the early freespirited thinking, that was in the internet, when I was starting.
You could write almost anything.
This little window of oppotunity, has made it possible, to create a new kind of philosophy, that is in direct connection to the world. A connected philosophy.
Perhaps this is what the world has been waiting for, a small possibility, to create a world with less destruction, and a bit more peace?
Maybe, and then, we will see.
G-d bless the will to do good in a world riven with danger and chaos.
Well it seems to me, that the new PM mr. Sunak, is actually not doing that bad. Wonderful with the new initiative regarding the border control.
Here are som reflections, that might help in that department.
First of all, security is really a very egoistic thing, if you are not hit, then someone else are. This is the problem with the sailing over the strait, it does not help France, if the sailing is stopped, then the migrants just end up in camps in France.
IF we are to cooperate with France, which is the most diplomatic and honestly fair thing to do. We have to make an arrangement, that actually helps BOTH countries, and does not harm the migrants too much.
It is exactly here, that the Rwanda model has its value. I know that there is a lot of negative sentiment against it in the EU. But I mean, what is the alternative?
If we do not do something, things will go even more out of hand.
The Rwanda model is essentially fair for all. The migrants can get an education and help in Rwanda, and the European countries will stop the migration flow, that is, honestly, extremely detrimental to the European countries.
But it has to be fair, and it has be done orderly.
Sadly, the current danish government has stopped its focus on the model, even though we were leading in this department, so this gives the UK an opportunity to be the leaders here.
I know, that the EU see it as unfair and so on, but you have to be a little realistic about the problems that we need to get under control.
If you have other ideas, that are better, please send them on, if not, maybe working on this, slowly, deliberately will turn the tide.
It has to be done humanely, but it nonetheless has to be done. Otherwise some of the very dangerous signs of even worse ideas, may just end up being the solution, and then my mid leaning ideas will seem like the only solution.
So think about it, make a deal with France, and then just get to it.
G-d bless the will to change the world in a sound and humane way.
The newly minted Danish cultural minister is named Angel, or in Danish; Engel.
He is trying to find his feet in a vicious fight against the civil servants, who wants to control him, and it has made me think a little about, what it is to be an angel.
First of all, angels are not what we think they are in our modern spiritual traditions, that is benign, humble creatures, that shoot arrows of love to the beloved.
They are really something else. Let me spin a tale, that may let you have a glimpse into this subject of spiritual elevation.
Spirit is, to Plato and Anaxagoras intelligence, so angels are just reflections of g-ds intelligence. Mikael, means Mika el, el means OF G-d.
But there are deep traditions of angels, that we must understand, to understand, what angels really are.
The original angels are, as most of our civilisation, originating from the Middle East. Here these beings can still be seen as massive winged beast, carved into rock with the utmost detail.
The world of angels are often connected to astrology, so that angels refer to specific star constellations and other parts of our understanding of the celestial realm.
But what has really interested me, has been the virtues of the different angels. The angels of the seven heavens, has been my go to congegration of angels, and they are BOTH benign, AND very, very powerful.
We say that Mikael is the harbinger of light, and he will blow his silver horn, to call upon the sons of light, in their fight against the sons of darkness. Satan being the leader of that motley crew.
So we see, from that story, the story of the apocalypse, that angels they fight. What do they fight for and against? They fight for life and light, against death and destruction.
But, and that is the dilemma, they actually fight, and when they fight, their shields are emblazoned with marks of inlaid silver, commemorating the victory over evil.
This is what angels do, when they fight, they fight evil, oppression, darkness.
When there is a part of society, where evil prevails, angels roam these streets, caring for the dispossessed, lifting all spirits in the face of the sons of darkness.
In other words, you cannot fight good people if you are an angel, that would be wrong, but fighting bad people, is all what the likes of Mikael do.
G-d bless the will, to find in each of us, that angel, that speaks to us, to do good in the service of human dignity and life.
The world is slowly crashing into a massive world war. On one hand, we have the US, fighting a two front war against Russia and China, and at the other hand, we have Russia and China, with their allies.
The war is actually not really working for the US. The European allies seems to be lacking motivation, and even India is moving towards China and Russia.
I know this is hard to cope, but to do any serious analysis as to how we are going to change the tides, we need to be honest about these developments.
First of all, the peace laurel that Russia is offering, this would be the time to take it. Russia is advancing, and the human costs are rising by the day.
Secondly, shoring up the alliance with India is VERY important. The war with China is approaching, and that war is inevitable.
So a focus on east is pretty important, as I see it.
A peace, that gives both Russia and Ukraine a way so save face would be really important.
Then on to the war in the east. Collaborating and building alliances with the countries around China is of an upmost importance. We need to focus on it, and get it to work. If it does not work, we will be I real danger.
So a good peace in the East, and a strengthening of the borders in the west is important.
Then the UK, again, a great part of the empire is in real danger; New Zealand, Australia. We need to shore up support, and start building the necessary arms. This would be my recommendation.
We still have bit of a fuss with islamists infiltration in the UK, we need to be ready for that as well. It could be a real problem.
So for me, just to inform my readers, the reason I have been a little less productive the last two months, is because I have been put under administration by the cultural ministry.
There is a bit of a fight going on, in the ministry, involving the minister and the foreign minister. So, the civil servants are sacrificing a massive amount of capital both in terms of man hours as well as reputation, to try and harm me.
Nothing new in that I guess, but it is Purim, and we Jews are famous for getting over insourmountable odds, so I am getting through.
Hopefully with enough ressources to tip the balance of the scales in the Great War we are getting into. So this is not a plea for help, but just to inform you of my current predicament.
G-d bless the will to be strong in the face of adversity, and steadfast in the course of positive, constructive peacekeeping. G-d bless the western alliance, and may it prevail.
One of the discussions I have tried to take on my blog here, and in general is; what is to be a good person. And in opposite, what is it to be a bad person.
There are off cause many answers to this question, but one of the more important answers is the, what we call “humanistic” answer.
In order to understand what “humanistic” values are, we need to understand, where these ideas, that were very influential in creating what we call the United States of America, really come from.
I have done a bit of research on this topic, and the answer is actually pretty straight forward. It comes from the Italian reneassance, where leading lights as Giordano Bruno, Leonardo da Vinci and the Medicis were really pushing that agenda forward.
The way they handled the whole discussion, was to find “hidden knowledge”, that they thought were somehow better than what they had already, thereby all the mystery.
BUT, and this where it gets perhaps a little mundane, but also more true, the sources they found that they thought were “superior” to what was already known, actually weren’t that superior.
I know my Aristotle and Plato by heart, so I can tell if something is superior to those two authors, who were known already.
The “Corpus hermeticum”, as they were called, were reflections on essentially Aristotle and Plato, mostly Plato.
That does not take any value out their ideas however, so let’s have a look at some of the reflections they had in the very basis of humanistic thought.
One of the base presumptions was the idea, that we live in a world that is enlightened and a world that is materialistic.
The materialistic world is base, all about greed, avarice, anger and looking only at the short term in terms of needs.
The superior renaissance man however was pure, devout, merciful and full of vitality. Good is those virtues, while as evil is greed, avarice, destruction.
A renaissance man will build and not destroy, while as a man in opposition to this, will destroy and ruin things.
So there is an element of construction and as they say; g-d is life and light.
Maybe these ancient virtues can still be of some quality today, where things are not exactly brimming with positivity and constructivity.
Being a true renaissance man is to be honest and pure, serious and merciful, full of vitality with a deep faith in a G-d that is truly good.
G-d bless the ability to be a good person in a world filled with greed and avarice.
Ok now the prince Harry of Windsor has been kicked out of his house in the UK.
This seems to me all right and fair. I mean, we have tried numerous times, to reach out, and create some kind of reconciliation. But it only goes one way.
Without dialogue, there can be no reconciliation.
Anyway. I hope, that Harry gets to his senses, and comes back the family. But he must show some kind of will to be a part of the royal family, and obviously this ruckus is really angering to the royal family and in extent to the institution of royalty.
There is always a possibility for reconciliation, so let’s hope, that all brigdes have not been burned down, and hope, that Harry comes to his senses, and finds his role in the royal family.
G-d bless the divine institution of the royal house of England.
Ok, so I have asked myself; Asger, are you going out of fashion. I mean, I am not a fashion photographer or anything like that, but I guess, that my ideas are fashionable, or can be of less or greater interest.
Well, my experience is, that what I do, is to create layers of understanding and ideas, on basis of other peoples layers of ideas.
Take my work with the liberal left. It is not, that I have invented liberal left. I stand in a long line of philosophers, who came before me, and gave something to the tradition. The latest was Adorno, who gave us multiculturalism. Now I have given a point back to our shared humanistic roots. Tried to talk about democracy and humanism in this day and age.
It’s not like, that I am better than Adorno. I really like him a lot, he was a leading light of his generation, its just that I took up the beacon after him.
This is what multiculturalism is really meeting these days, the push for the people, to move on.
I mean, Karl Marx wrote some amazing things, but without Hegel, there would not have been a Karl Marx, and without Karl Marx, there would not have been an Asger Trier.
My rebellion towards Marx, going back to Hegel, is what I have contributed with to the international development of the left.
Ok, now there is a fight between Russia and the US, so this development, that was really sound for the world has less of an effect, but it is there as a layer, and my experience is, when it is there, you cannot remove it. The PEOPLE wants the politicians the move that way.
So I am there, as a part of the tradition.
G-d bless the will to be good and heartfelt in ones ideas, thoughts and actions.
Ok, here is how the analysis is regarding to the Middle East. It is not Ikea, there are no easy fixes, you cannot just find a manual, and then go by that. To make any kind of progress, you need to play the game. What is the game? The game is the patient positioning of the pieces, so that you will win.
Let me give you an example, there once was a great emperor of the Germans. Frederick the great. He was what we call a “philosopher king” like Marcus Aurelius. That is a philosopher, who turn into a king.
He was great, why? Because he read the game like a philosopher, and played it like a king.
At his time, war was a bit like today. The armies were absurdly expensive, so you didn’t really want to employ them. You were worried, that you would loose your valuable army.
So what Frederick did, was, that he participated in the dance of these armies, one step forward, two steps back. But he did something, that the other kings didn’t. WHEN there was a war, he didn’t spare the armies, he went all in. See, played the game like a philosopher, fought like a king.
That is warfare. Street riots are not warfare, they are just street riots. Ok, I know, that mr. Netanyahu needs to deliver on his campaign promises. But fighting in the streets does not help at all, it hinders his moves.
He has to move, and he has moved. Not least in regards to Iran. I have not been able to help much, because honestly, after I advised fighting Iran. The leaders of Iran threatened to kill me, but now things are shaping up, and there is a positive movement in Iran in regards to the human rights of the Iranians, so hopefully they will not kill me. I respect their pleas.
Anyway, the Palestinians are only proxies, you need to see their backers as the real power players, that is where the complexity comes into play. It is not just Palestinians, it is the entire Middle East, that Israel is playing for and against.
So, see the complexity of that, and you will actually help mr. Netanyahu.
G-d bless the will to play the game like the philosopher king Frederick the great.
Ok I have reflected a great deal on the current events in Israeli politics, and in the way that conservative politics is moving in general.
Maybe I am getting out of fashion, that may be, and honestly, it does not really matter much to me. I mean, it’s not that I get much out of it other and total persecution all the time. So, to me, the advent of the more radical shift of conservatism to something a lot more sinister, than my mid leaning conservatism, will not really be a problem to me, but it will, most certainly be a problem for humanity.
Let’s have a look at it. As I understand, the core of the right wing right now is that they despise gays, and want to get rid of all Arabs in Israel.
Seriously, how is that going to affect the relationship with all the countries around Israel? I get it, the Arabs in Israel are not always playing by the book. Ok, so they must be caught, put to jail, and ultimately be prisoned. But I mean, genocide? Seriously?
I know, that the humanistic, democratic idea is not perfect. I know, that we should have a kingdom, and a wise king. One day we will have that, if HE arrives. But the thing is, we have to wait.
The other thing is the king is supposed to bring peace, not war, and then how are we, if we prepare his arrival with a monster war?
We should, as I see it, slowly but surely, try to transform the Middle East, using our skill, to change the relationship. This does not mean, that we should accept killing of innocents, rockets and so on. But we should play the game deftly. Erasing Gaza is not playing the game deftly, that is a score in our own goal.
In Denmark, after I controlled the islam critics, this guy Rasmus Paludan took over. I don’t have any control over him, he is a maverick and continues to provoke. Ok, that is his right, at least until recently. But the ONLY result of all his provocations is less succes for the islam critics.
While as, when I was at the helm, we had several massive successes. But it was done with finness, a lot of political skill and just through wisdom.
So my advice and honest experience, is, if we start all this power play, it will be very bad. It could, if it is not controlled, be the end of Israel.
So take it easy guys, calm down. Mr. Netanyahu is a skilled politician, he has the support of the US, to tackle Iran. If he does that, he can actually make peace.
And honestly, what is war if it is just for its own sake?
I know, people want fast results, but war and diplomacy are two tools in the same toolbox, and if you don’t play these tools with skill, we will be like Rasmus Paludan.
G-d bless the will to be players of a deft and skilled game. G-d bless Israel.
I have done a lot of research into the Middle East strategical situation.
This is my recommendation regarding the new Netanyahu government in relation to the Biden administration.
There is a junction in between the Biden administration, but there is also a pretty big risk in a troublesome relationship.
The reason is, that even though Likud is centre rightwing, the basis of the Netanyahu government is not. It is extreme rightwing. Now, don’t get me wrong, I have a lot of religious friends, I REALLY both accept and respect judaism. To me, the angels are what keeps me alive, period.
But there are also a lot issues, that the Biden administration, could have a negative eye on; gay rights, excessive violence against Gaza. Things like that.
This is why my advice is, to join the American administration in the fights, that Israel and the US have in common. This is, pretty clear, the joined fight against Iran.
To be honest, I don’t really hate the Mullahs. They have be reliable partners in the peace process. The problem however is the war in Ukraine. When Iran joins that fight, it makes the system a legitimate target.
I really am proud of the peace proces we made in the Middle East under Obama, but the world is drifting towards mayhem.
But this is my advice. Instead of an all out war, be careful. People are in harms way. A mass mechanised war against Iran, will be devastating for all involved.
G-d bless the peace we may find at the other end of this conflict.
The late mr. Ratzinger, the amazing and honourable late pope Benedict XVI, has gone to knock on the door of st. Peter.
This is one of these things, that I have REALLY worked a lot with on a reflective level. I have done a LOT of thought as how to say something that is at least meaningful about this majestic person.
On one hand, he did, as one of the few popes, stop before time, at the other hand, he was a brilliant master in managing the left and right within the Catholic Church. A critic of Islam but not a hard core conservative.
So, he was in the same vein as Barack Obama and David Cameron, a modern conservative.
What is there to say about such an illuminary with any meaning.
First of all, he was a renewer, but on a base, that was ancient.
In this field he was the predecessor to the current eminence pope Francis.
But at the same time, he was, as a person, such a nice man. Humble, wise and just a wonderful person.
I truly hope, that Benedikt XVI will be remembered as what he was, a man, that really changed the Catholic Church, but within the frame of that ancient church, with respect for its institutions.
G-d bless Benedikt XVI And may st. Peter receive and recognise this wonderful soul.
Well, I guess, that the last post was a bit of a whip. The whole turbulence, that it created in the US, was really a surprise to me. But I guess, it touched upon a subject, that has been very difficult to touch upon, because of all the mystery that surrounds the banks.
But my realisation, after having made the interview with the bank insider mr. Ole Bjerg, the banking world themselves seem quite happy with the discussion. I guess, that they are not that used to debate, but when it comes, they listen.
This is a surprise, but also very good surprise.
I received a paper from the national bank here in Denmarks, where they discuss the issues.
The weird thing is, when I get to know how the banks think, I actually agree. The virtues they have are the right virtues. So the ability to make people trust the currency, the mission to fight inflation and so on, are spot on. The problem seems to be, that the national banks are diverging from these ideals and are discussing the limits of the digitalisation of the money.
Well, as a moral philosopher, the message is quite clear. Trust of money is even more difficult to gain when everything is digitalised. The citizens KNOW that the banks have the ability to use their power in a way, that the banks become a meta police.
But if they do that, they LEAVE their true conviction, that of being a defender of the currency.
These ideals, if they erode, will make a huge dent in the trust of the banks, just by talking about the meta police possibilities, has raised eyebrows in many places. Yes, for now, it is only insiders like mr. Ole Bjerg, but if the national banks do not reconsider, the criticism will be increased.
But it seems to me, with the media storm, that the last post created, the banks have had to think about their plans, and hopefully, get back to their core, that of defending the currency.
G-d bless the will to follow ones conviction in the face of the lure of naked power.
I have given it a lot of thought as to what is really the basis of civilisation.
Yesterday, I made a long interview with another philosopher called Ole Bjerg. He has been criticising the banks quite a lot from an ethical perspective. He is of the opinion, that the banks have forgotten their own virtue, that of putting money aside for hard times. Banks are supposed to be about savings.
As I understand Ole, the banks have all kinds of political ambition, they want to control the citizens with acces to money.
Well, I agree, to some degree. To me, the most important thing, the very bedrock of civilisation is protecting of the weak. It goes through our justice system, it is the point of socialism and is the prime virtue of all knights.
Then how does that work with a banking system that is supposed to protect our assets, and now have political ambition?
Is this political attempt protecting the weak?
If it is that, then I guess it makes sense, but seriously, we have PLENTY of economic problems these days, not least the Geist of inflation, that is made because the central banks gave the banking industry a lot of money ten years ago, and our production sector is loosing steam.
So, I mean, what is it really the banks want?
The banks COULD help society by making ressources available in the industrial sector, that would really help the nations in Europe and the West in general, but now they fuss on how to control the citizens.
It seems to me, that the banks are kind of confusing what they are here for. We really NEED the banks in a crisis situation, to be responsible and protect the economy, because at the end of the day, who pays for the mistakes the banks make, the poor people pays.
So, the banks CAN protect the weak, by making sure, that the economy is working as it is supposed to do, with a sound investment environment, and ample supply for those who invest in good paying American jobs.
Fussing over the possible control over the citizens will not make progress, it will make the opposite, more recession.
Progress requires the possibility to make new things, and experiment. This is expensive, and therefor we need the banks to take risks in the industrial sector. Ultimately, this leads to more industry that makes more jobs, that makes it possible for people, to live a respectable and honest life.
The banks thus have a crucial role to play in the nation, they just need to prioritise their investment.
G-d bless the banking system, and may it help.

Harry, you need to come to Denmark and find yourself. And this is it, you are so welcome. Go through the Danish royal house, if you wish.
What is Denmark in relation to England?
Well, when we were one kingdom thousand years ago, we were a minor player in the world. But that changed for England and the UK.
You grew into an empire, and stretched yourself all over the globe.
Here in Denmark, we, more or less, just stayed the way we were when we were one kingdom. We never had the opportunity to grow, because we are in the middle.
But, and this is where Denmark can support England, we kept things as how they were. We have fussed over our shared ideas for the last five thousand years.
Effectively growing into a fairy tale.
This fairy tale is yours.
The fairy tale of the prince, who fought all his dragons, to find his princess. Now, you have found your princess already, but the fight with the dragons is here right now.
How do you fight those dragons?
Well, as a prince, what you do, is to try and find the RIGHT WAY.
THE RIGHT WAY is essentially a moral course, that will lead you to slay the dragons.
Let me give you an example, from my own life.
When I had to choose my own course, I could have went with the other artists, and have had an elevated status as the main philosopher in the country, and all the fine status that goes with that. I could have become an editor of the leading newspaper, sat at the side of the queen, and so on.
From the beginning, I just hated the idea of sitting on that throne. I REALLY despised it. So I ran away from it.
I went to the farthest there was, at that time politically, SIAD, that spawned the EDL.
I REALLY tried to get away from all the attention and the sycophants.
I succeeded, now too much it seems. Now I am a persona non grata in the upper echelons of society, the black sheep, so to say. It is not, that they do not attend to what I am saying, they do. But I am branded, because, I ran those years ago.
It gives me quiet and I get to live a life outside the limelight, that is good.
But I truly learned a lot of things.
First of all, what it all comes down to, as royalty, is your own example.
You can say a lot of things, but at the end of the day. You are judged by what you do. And there is no way to cheat, people are wise. They see trough the lies.
So, what I do now, is doing. I protect those who are weakest in society. Lately, that has been a vicious fight against the municipality in defence of Hanne, and old lady with three disabled kids, that the municipality is mistreating horrendously.
That was a truly vicious fight. But it has blown light on the way we treat the weakest members of our society, and there is a major reform coming, to support our disabled people better.
Then there is the fight for our forests, another vicious fight, that we just cannot loose. If we loose, all our forests disappear.
But the way I do it, is not by going to the other elite artists, I do it by talking and connecting to those who are in the fight.
I help them, support them. I do it with my own hands.
That is horrendously difficult, and often I get to my own limits. But that is what really is all about. Fighting dragons, is fighting dragons.
You have this ability as well, I can just see the talent shining through.
You need to find a simple and truly discreet way to fight your dragons.
Don’t go with the limelight, that is not where you change the world to a better place. The way you change the world to a better place, is by being with those who are truly fighting.
These people are simple, those who truly fight. Honest, humble giants of humanity.
If you find yourself with those people at your side, you know that your fight is REAL.
But it is very difficult, because you have to be humble, and essentially humble yourself.
But the people who are really fighting are amazing. So you get to get really good friends. And that is much more important that all the limelight in the world.
G-d bless the will to see the way, to make a difference and make the world a much better place in the face of spirit and all his angels.
I have thought a lot about how to be a royal these days, and honestly, I come only from a minor house. It may be that of an illustrious one, but it is not a royal house.
So these ideas are not based on ideas of royalty, but rather my own experience with finding a way as an aristocrat in a world that does not care much for honour and integrity.
Ok, this is my experience.
First of all, you need to find a balance between liberalism and conservatism, and that is really the difficult thing.
If you are too conservative, people will see you as old-fashioned, and not up to date. If you are too liberal, people will see you as abandoning the tradition.
So, you need to walk that very narrow scope. In practise you need to take the best of each tradition, and make it your own. This calls for a very high amount of quality inspection and valuation.
Take climate change, that I have worked a lot with. There are amazing things in this area, and there are awful things in this area. The good things are energy development, forest care and just caring for nature in general. The bad things are a skewed focus on too much green energy, without regard for the transition to green energy, effectively destroying the economy. There is also these ideas called rewilding and “wild” nature, that essentially destroys the nature, as in Harzen, that has lost all its ancient forest due to this skewed project.
So it is a tight rope, you need walk.
At the other side, there is the defence, that is very good. These warriors are skilled, cares for the realm and are essentially heroes. They have not been given the attention lately, as in Afghanistan, where they fought valiantly.
A prince could pay some respect for that cause here after the draw out. That would be positive conservatism.
So there is a very difficult balance there to walk.
But, and that is the good thing. With a carefully detailed and thought through plan, you can change the world to a better place.
This process is extremely difficult, but you have friends. Hans and I are walking this tight rope together, and we are making a difference.
So finding that balance between conservatism and liberalism, is what real politics is all about, and off cause also the support of the entire empire.
As the late illustrious and friend queen Elisabeth did.
But it is not easy, you have to be careful, and think it through.
G-d bless the will of the English people, and may it live forever.
Ok, we have to be a little careful with the green change, that we are doing.
First let us go down memory lane a bit, and see what we can learn from that.
When the whole windmill industry started, it wasn’t really an industry, but a hobby project done by visionaries.
Especially the illustrious mr. Preben Vilhjelm was a the head of the game.
Through some debate with the insiders of the whole energy development, these are some of the lore we can ween from his era.
Preben was a genius. He was educated as an atomic physicists, so he knew a whole lot about energy.
What he did, was a genius move, to my mind. He was a the head of VS, Venstre Socialisterne when he did the following.
He professed, that what Denmark needed was a balance between windpower, and then something that never catches on in the rest of the word, but is really important to this first plan. Remember, this is forty years ago, or something.
He pushed for a renewable cycle of agricultural products. What he pushed was a system, where by you could produce gas out of waste in the agricultural business. That really worked, and today we have these small but efficient power plants that run on waste from the farms.
So, his idea was, and that is very important to think about. To make A BALANCE between the energy we get from the farms, and the windmills. Effectively making a system that would always run. The problem about only making windmills is the fact, that it only runs when there is wind. So there is something to ponder there. I know that in California, there is a lot of windmills, but you need to either make a huge power saving system or make an alternative power producing, one could very well be recycling the waste of agricultural products.
Anyway, that is an important point.
Then in the next phase, we hit a low in Denmark under the energy crisis, so we decided to be energy independent. We build a lot of oil rigs and gas production. And here is another very important lesson learned by the illustrious mr. Poul Nielson.
When he rebuild the energy supply in Denmark, what he did was, that he REALLY made a masterful plan. He counted all the beads, and made a massive investment in fossile fuel. The point is, you need to master both disciplins to really get ahead of the game.
BOTH the fossile fuel game, AND the green tech energy.
We have to get to a point where green energy is in abundance and cheap. But until then, we still need to play the fossile fuel game.
It has to be a CONTROLLED shift.
Green tech is really developing these days, especially within the field of power to x, but it will take some time to get to a point where green energy really rules. So we need to respect that research and development takes time.
Invest in R&D as much as we can, to really speed up the process. But it will take time, at least ten to fifteen years to reach a point, where green energy is really cheap enough.
So, have a little patience, but show initiative by cosponsoring the logistical development at the same time as the R&D.
G-d bless the will to make a greener world.
When Alcibiades, the famous scion of Athens had used all his cards, and was thrown out of Athens, Socrates, that used to be Alcibiades teacher, went to Alcibades and said something like this:
“Royalty is not a given, talent, having that in abundance, is not a privilege. It is a possibility. These things are cards, that HAS to be combined with responsibility to be of any value. If you squander your gifts from spirit in this life, you will look back at your life as some kind of failure.”
That is the truth right there.
My dad was a hero. He was one of the brightest kids of his country, and had to flee to Denmark, because of civil war. There he succumbed to lack of recognition, nobody could see his qualities. So his life really just ended up as a bit misspent. He had so much potential.
So this was what I grew up with. A hero dad, who never really realized himself, and an essentially broken life. He was the prince, that never realized his potential. Actually he was not a prince, but a Nawab, which is a bit different, I think.
But then you are left with all this legacy and dreams of a system that used to be, and, many people, see as void.
The thing is, royalty DO have a role to play. It has the role of ethics and morality.
In a world where everything is falling apart, and people are, honestly really annoying, showing people, that there is such a things as decency, honesty, family values. That is the revolutionary thing to do.
There is no promise as to whether you succeed or not. I know, from my own life. But at the end of the day, your striving for a better world is what royalty is all about. Finding that path of goodness, is what it is all about.
You need to get down on your knees and pray. At least, this was what I did, when all was lost. I went to my knees a prayed for me, for my own life. And the answer is pretty simple. The way you treat the world, is the way you yourself is treated.
If you are the cool and honest guy, that respects everybody. You get the respect back. To get a good life, you need to be able to give.
Giving is so much harder than crying.
But that is truly the only way. Giving.
So Harry, you need to get up on your horse again, and ride into the sunset.
Because not using the gifts you have, to the betterment of humanity, will end you up in a bitter place, and you will be a sorry example to your own kids. This my experience.
But if you stand up in the morning, make your bed, and try your best, your kids will adore you.
G-d bless the will to be the good and amazing example, that is possible.
Ok, so the royal family is in trouble. Harry is trying to realise his own purpose here in life, and because he is such a strong and truly willfull person, this creates a lot of problems.
Harry, in many ways, I have always been a true fan of you. The potential you show, is so great, that it really could bring the world to a much better place than where it is today. Why? Because you are such a powerful person, when it comes to truly moving the world. I remember, when I first saw your speech at the athletics tournament. I just knew, that a true prince of England was born, right there.
But being second in line, is much more difficult than being born to reign. The problem is, you need to earn your place at the table.
Now, how do you do that. You do it by listening to what the country needs. You are a prince of England, at least to England, and the English people you are. That is really what matters. Not which place you may have in the official lists.
That is the truly difficult thing to work out, because how are you supposed to be a prince of England, while as you are not in the system?
Ok, I will tell you a story, that may give you a possible answer to that.
A month ago, I was travelling the forests of Denmark. I do a long line of stories for the TV station about our forest. Forests is nature, and I believe it is very important for our planet to care for our forests, so that we support the beauty of nature. Our planet is a living, breathing, beautiful thing that is alive. I am very good friends with the part of our society here in Denmark that cares for nature, a grand old aristocrat called Hans, who used to be an adventurer and a spiritual leader. When John Lennon was here in Denmark, he talked to Hans. And when Dalia Lama was here, he send his right hand to talk to Hans.
So following Hans example. I went out, to document the beauty of the forest, and try to commune with it in a way.
You know, when I was at the top of the forest I was in a forest called Dronninglund storskov. The Queens glade, it started speaking to me. I was totally in shock, but it had all kinds of things it wanted me to do. We have a great problem here in Denmark with a system called rewilding that is really hurting the animals, and another system called NNP, that is destroying the forests.
Prince Frederik lives just besides Hans, so he knows this issue.
So what is really the message here?
Harry, the message is. Don’t listen to what people around you are saying. Cut the chatter, and go to England. Travel the forests there, and listen to what England has to say.
You are its prince, and it needs you. I don’t know what England truly needs of you, I am a philosopher of Denmark, but my experience is. You need to be there, connect, talk to country. Not the media or the glitterati of stars. But the country itself.
Connect with your old friends at the army, travel around, get your head out of all the conflict, and find yourself as what you are.
When you do that, you will have a better understanding of your purpose.
And know this, you are always welcome in Denmark.
Go through Frederik, or whatever you want. But we believe in you, you have so much potential.
G-d bless the will to find solace in the fact, that you as a person is wonderful and truly something special. G-d bless England, and may it always live.
The Democratic Party is at some kind of Crossroads. I mean, let us have a bit of a look in the mirror. When Barack was in the leading seat, we had a wonderful and epic lead in all. Yes, there were things that could have been done better. But in most cases, things went really well. The US was at its peak in terms of international respect, we got the economy turned around and that did some good for the country, we even thought about making some kind of serious border control. Not a wall, but some kind of normal border situation.
Then came Trump, and the whole world went bananas. First of all, I really did my best to fight him at the election we had with Hillary. I lost, I get it, Trump was just amazing as a campaigner. You could hate his style, but he was effective. And the Americans just didn’t like Hillary.
So, we had four years of Trump, and a whole lot of chaos.
Some of the things Trump did, weren’t so bad. I mean the whole anticorruption spree he went on, was good.
But the image of the US was tarnished in the world, and now we are kind of trying to recuperate.
So we drew out of Afghanistan, and now we fight in Ukraine.
Both wars, that are pretty awful and not that good for the image of the US.
You can spin all the wheels of propaganda, but in this social media world, the propaganda just does not cut it. People don’t want to get in the way of the war, so they feing an interest in it, and then try to not get harmed.
I truly agree with Europe spending more money on defence, yes I totally agree. But the Ukraine war is an American project.
On the economic side. This has both a good and a bad effect. The bad effect is, that the American dollar is soon to loose its status as the number one trade value. This will make the American economy much more vulnerable to the flux of economy, but it is not the end of the world, because the other effect of the war, the fact, that we are getting our production back from China, alleviates this issue.
So the focus on American production was a very important step we took under the Obama administration, and it will weather the downfall of the dollar as the trade currency.
We will see where it all ends, but one things is certain, the conflict with China is not over, it has just started, and that is a fierce conflict, if there ever was one. It reminds me of the fight between emerging Rome and Karthago. The conflict between the old and the new power.
There are similarities, and there are profound differences, not the least, that the Phoenicians were not willing to face the threat, they left it to Hannibal. But this time with the US, it is different. They call it the Thucydides trap, what does not make of sense, since the prime example is the Phoenician war, and not the influx of Greek culture that was what Thucydides stood for. But never mind.
The Punic wars are the obvious historical example that the China/US conflict is all about.
G-d bless the will to be swift on foot, and honest in opinion.
I have given the current wars a bit of thought, why was it, that the wars that Barack and I did, was so much more of a succes, than what the US is doing today?
Well, I think the reason is, that off cause Barack was an amazing orator, he could give a speech, so that the angels sang. BUT, the thing that I contributed with, was the honest to g-d advise, that was all pure and without any corruption.
I did all the work I did, while I was working as a caretaker in an institution for boys that had had a hard life. So a lot of the groundwork I did, was written on some banged up computer that I had scavenged for my little computercafe, that all the children were playing at.
It is this honesty, that was the philosophical basis of the success.
Everybody knew, that my advice was honest.
So, this sincerely and honesty, is the answer to how the US was so successful. Why? Because in this world of social media, everybody knows what is going on anyway. You can push your agenda really hard, but at the end of the day, all you do is really cower people into accepting your agenda.
This is really not needed. I mean the needs of the US and the West in general are both justified, and based on some values and virtues, that are, hands down, amazing.
Humanistic, democratic virtues, are beautiful.
Yes, I guess, that the US is a bit more conservative than here in Denmark, but that is a good thing. I believe, that we are too free in the wrong things here in Denmark. The high degree of divorce, the uncaring for family, is not a good thing. I speak from my own experience.
But, the US based on all the beautiful ideals is essentially a good thing. Why is it, that the world loves Star Wars, it is because it exemplifies the rebel for democracy against tyranny. We love that.
So there is really no need to find new virtues or values, what we need to do, is to be idealistic about it. Fuel the fire of Democracy, be there with our virtues and freedom, and inspire.
If we do that, it will be a good thing for the world.
The situation we are in right now is good, but it will end, if we forget who we are, and what we are. Descendants of a beautiful culture of humanism and freedom.
G-d bless the will to be free and share the ideals of Democracy.
Concerning the discussion on tax, and how to make a tax system that actually work.
First of all, we need to understand what the idea behind progressive tax really is. Marx had the idea about progressive tax from a classic philosopher called Democritus. The idea is, that society has a geometrical form. It can be made like a pyramid, that is the rich in the top, and the poor in the bottom, or it can be levelled out, so that there are fewer poor in the bottom.
What you do is, that you tax the richer more than the poorer.
It has the effect, that we have a society that is more equal, and equality gives us harmony.
So progressive tax is really a tool to create happiness and citizens that are content.
What it does however, is that it hinders creativity in the area of production, and in some cases, rich people abandon their country, and goes somewhere else. We have this problem in Denmark and in Norway right now. The rich don’t see it as a just system.
In a democracy however these measures are often popular, because there are more poor than rich. The rich being a minority in the Aristotelian sense, makes the politician a bit wary about making too steep a progressive tax system, because the rich don’t like to get abused, as any minority. Here I go with the classic differentiation between mass and minority, where it is very important that just because there is a majority, doesn’t necessarily make the majorities motives right. As it goes with other minorities like gays and native americans. Rich people are also a potential minority, even though it sounds a little weird, but that is what it is.
Anyway, the discussion of how to keep the production WITHIN the nation, could be inspired by the idea of the progressive tax. We could, potentially create a system that is like the progressive tax system, with the key difference, that the cheapest you can get away with in terms of tax, is valued by the amount of production you keep in the country.
So say the farmers, who, by the nature of their trade, would get a low tax, and the IT company that has outsourced most their production would get a high tax.
In this way, it is calculable for the company how much they would get the production cheaper if made in the far east, they would have to calculate an extra tax.
So it is not, that they cannot make things abroad, they can, but it would be more expensive. This would incentivise the companies to keep the production in the country, and it would not destroy the free trade agreements we have already. We can still trade freely across borders, according to our strengths. It would essentially be fair.
This measure should be discussed in detail, and be rolled out after a lot of discussion on the practical matters of the tax. Because we should discuss the how and the what. To make it right, we need to be able to compute the tax in a fair way, how do we do that, and so on.
It wouldn’t cost the state anything, because an increased production in the country would levy taxes from all those who work in the factory and those who are secondary beneficiaries of the factory. All in all, a lowered tax on the patriotic business life, would gain the country they are in.
So that is a possibility, to really implement the ideas of Adam Smith and Aristotle in terms of tax levying.
G-d bless the will to find new ways to make a better economy and more jobs to everybody.
