The American dream

January 1st, 2023 No comments

What is he aim of politics? Do we sometimes stop, at ask ourselves, what is it really we are doing?

Often we end up in petty infights, and actually lose the greater view on things, and stop seeing the basic reason for all the politicking we are doing.

Making research for my book on economics, I kind of stumbled on the introduction to the work “economics” that is an Aristotelean discussion on what and how we work with economy.

Well, the book being Aristotelean and working in the vein of that great person and amazing mind, there is off cause an answer to the question; why do we do politics.

He says, we do politics, because we try to make a city (polis) where people are happy.

Just stop there, think about it for a second, the profound wisdom there is in that. Why do we do politics? We do not do it to make money for ourselves or win some kind of competition, we do it to further the happiness of the citizens. It is a simple as that. Make people happy, content, that is the aim of politics. It also happens to be the aim of economy, so we should discuss that too. And that is what I am doing, trying to discern, how does the economy contribute to the wellbeing of all the citizens, that is a VERY complicated discussion.

One of things that I believe that Benjamin Franklin got right, was the point, that what we strive for is unity. Not being split up into smaller warring factions of country against city or white against black. But a society, where people get along, getting each of their shot on a happy life. And, by the way, isn’t that exactly what the American dream is all about?

G-d bless the will to do good in a world where people are torn by division.

Iran

December 30th, 2022 No comments

I have tried to think a bit more about the Middle East. What went wrong the last time?

To be honest, it was Hillary Clinton. Now, I fought for ms. Clinton against Trump, so it is not so much that I don’t like her ideas. This idea that we should fight for the sound family that resides in a sound village, that resides in a sound state and so on, is a beautiful idea.

BUT, I think the rivalry that was between Hillary and Barack when she was in charge of the foreign affairs were actually not good.

One of the things that I really am truly and still is sorry for, was the fall of the embassy of Benghazi and the assassination of mr. John Christopher Stevens. Why, well first of all, because that was a essentially wrong thing to do, and secondly because when we abandon our best, and John Christopher Stevens he was the best in ourselves, we also show the world, that our own resilience in terms of our OWN idealism, is not there.

We essentially show the world, that we are not strong in our own conviction. So, I sincerely believe, that that is a lesson learned. When and if we support the uprising in Iran, we need to support it, wholeheartedly. Not 50%. When and if we succeed in supporting the rebels of Iran. We truly need to support them all the way, from a point of idealism.

They want freedom, ok, we will give them that with all the means we have. Like supporting a constitution that reflect a Democratic world, with an eye to the history of Iran.

You know, freedom in Iran is different than freedom in the US, in the sense, that Iranians are not Americans. Iranians have their own history and values.

They used to be Zoroastrian, that is a peculiar Iranian religion, that is, hands down, a beautiful religion, that works with fire and has the aim of being good. In fact Iranians invented the idea about goodness, imagine that.

So, when and if we support them, we have to do it, from a true idealistic perspective.

We should fight with them, to give them freedom.

So, that is, at least, one lesson learned in the Arab spring. We should enter in the conflict with an honest heart.

G-d bless the will to keep the light aflame, and support those who yearn for Democracy.

Iran

December 29th, 2022 No comments

The Iranians are seeking democracy, freedom, they fight against tyranny, they REALLY just throw their best lifes in there, to be free.

For at long time, I ignored it, and hoped that the peace deal we made the last time, would hold, but to be honest. For me as a democratic philosopher, who ACTUALLY fight for the oppressed and have sacrificed a whole lot of my life and family for these ideals, I just can’t sit by and look at the bravery and the sacrifice.

We have to help them, even though it may not really be in our immediate geopolitical interest.

It has given me a lot of thought to the dynamics of American foreign policy.

Seriously, why is it, that a philosopher, who, by all means, is living in hiding, persecuted by the authorities, in the underground here I Denmark, happens to be a central advisor for the American administration. How does that ever make sense?

Not only that, what Barack and I made together, and what we could make in Iran, is, potentially, a massive foreign policy win.

Why. Why is it not the academic, who, by all means, have gone the usual straight line, through academia who is the true best advisor.

The reason is, I think, that the US, was made by people like me. Desperate, persecuted, idealist, that came to a new place, to realise some lofty ideals. Like the first settlers, who sought to realise paradise, to the French philosophers who came to the US, and said, that the US is the REALIZATION of the French democratic ideals.

The US is, when it is what it is, a rebel nation. At the same time, it seeks to be a world power. It is the span of interest and ideals, that is so difficult to really work out, because, to be honest even the US is in a bit of academic decline.

But it also really teaches us something about American foreign policy, when it is TRULY idealistic, as with the Arab spring, it moves the world. But when it geopolitical only, it does not really work.

Change is finding the idealism of the US, and spreading it to the world, make the world more Democratic.

In a way it is both a curse and a blessing, because when we make wars that are unidealistic like the war in Iraq, we loose steam. But when we make wars that are truly idealistic, like the Cold War and the Arab spring we are boosted. This is coming from an idealistic, persecuted philosopher.

There is not a day, when I am not having to fend for my life here in Denmark.

So seen from that perspective, the Iranian rebellion, is really a no brainer. It costs the US nothing in terms of material investment, and the potential spoils of that war in terms of geopolitical strengthening is massive.

Just think about it.

But this IS the Benjamin Franklin view of this time, and not the power pusher view. So you need to take that into consideration.

G-d bless the will to keep the flame lit, the flame of freedom and Democracy.

The Workers

December 25th, 2022 No comments

Trying to find a solution to the competition from the far east towards the West, we need to understand the quality of our own culture, in order for that culture to find itself again.

First of all, I really like craftsmen. I see myself as a craftsman. Yes, I am an academic, but my ideas are not really academic in the sense that they are supposed to be flashy and beautiful in their structure. I do not write philosophy to show off. What I try to do, as a constant, is to make ideas and structures that have quality. Like my ideas within green Change. You know, the easiest path of green Change, is to put up windmills in abundance, and show them off.

BUT, to make it work, we have to be thorough, truly understand this whole endeavour in all its aspects, to truly make a Change, that will work. It is not enough to make hydrogen fuelled cars, because what about the infrastructure. Here I believe, that we have to go just that extra mile, and change hydrogen to green fuel, to be able to use it in our existing infrastructure. Yes I know, that it is extra troublesome, but to really make a system that work, I believe we have to go that extra mile.

I have a friend who is a carpenter. But not just any carpenter. Per has made chairs that are exhibited in our museums. Danish Design and all that.

After the capital moved production to the East, what could Per do? So he invented a factory in his own workshop. He bought a huge saw, not just any saw, but one of those saws, they just don’t make anymore. Then he went to buy up lumber himself, the best oak you can get. He cut up the oak, and let it dry for two years, and then continued making this furniture of the very finest quality.

That is a craftsman, right there. He goes the extra mile, no the extra thousand miles, to make chairs that will last for a hundred years. That is his claim. He even showed me, a shovel and a small bucket, that the church uses when they put us in the ground, and he said, that what he made, will last at least 500 years.

That is craftsmanship of the highest order.

Can we find it in ourselves, to follow the example of Per, at make things of that quality in the West, again. Move the production back, and make things again. Be consistent and honest in our work.

To be a worker, is a mark of honour, and we should not forget that.

G-d bless the will to support our workers in this most difficult time of theirs.

Social media

December 22nd, 2022 No comments

We are kind of wrestling with how to get social media right. Mr. Elon Musk has bought Twitter, and is trying to change the system so that it is fundamentally following some basic civilisation principles that further our world to a better place.

But the thing is; what are those principles really.

I have discussed this to some extent, but let me try and further the discussion, to help mr. Musk in his difficult work with free speech.

First of all, the internet is the brainchild of the Danish philosopher K.E. Løgstrup. Løgstrup was the friend of Niels Bohr, who went to the US during the Manhattan project that built the first nuclear bomb.

So they really shared ideas. Løgstrup had the idea, that there are three “livsytringer” or expressions of life; openness, trust and mercy. According to Løgstrup, these life expressions are psychological basic parts of our psychology. We are born with these traits of our mind or soul.

What happens as we grow older, is that we meet a lot of conflict and have problems with the ethics of other people. So these life expressions are diminished. They become less of our personality. We are less open, trustfull and show less mercy.

Therefor ethics is so important, to PROTECT openness, trust and mercy.

Niels Bohr only presented one of the life expressions that of openness, and that led to open source and the internet as such.

So, what do we do, when we lose trust and openness, we try to understand each other, in dialogue. According to Løgstrup, 80% of our conflicts are essentially misunderstandings.

So we need to PROTECT each person in social media, and therefor weed out immoral things as child pornography and so on.

BUT, this ideology counters the tradition of free speech. Free speech is essentially Socratism. Philosophers as Voltaire and Holberg (a danish philosopher) fought for the right to criticise the government and power as such. Often with their own life at stake. Remember Socrates was forced to take his own life.

Socrates had the idea, that truth should be spoken at all costs, to force us to see our own faults.

Journalism is based on this tradition, the first newspapers were published by the courageous gendarmes of the early Napoleonic Democratic forces.

So, if journalism works, it enlightens and pushes the truth.

So this is the succes of journalism, and when journalism looses this drive, it is criticised, rightfully.

So there is a balance to find here. We need to protect children, make people discuss in a civilised way and so on. But we ALSO need to make room for the truthseekers.

At least, this is the true conflict of interest, we need to find a balance between.

What it all comes down to, is by what rules do we censure.

If you ask Niels Borh and Løgstrup it is pretty obvious, we censure to protect trust, openness and mercy.

It is not about protecting minorities, what is a very important thing, it is about protecting peoples trust in each other.

At the same time, we need to make room for truthseekers as well.

At least, this is the theoretical basis we work upon.

G-d bless the will to be open in dialogue, and protect people with the right intentions and methods.

Obama 2.0

December 22nd, 2022 No comments

One of the things, I believe we should realise, is the fact that a lot of the revolution in Iran is a reflection of the Arab spring.

Some of the allies we got there in the first place; Kurds, Israel and the Arabs actually are against the dehumanization that we see in Iran. Hanging people because they disagree, seriously.

Anyway, the good news is, that they are all Obamanites, that is Social democrats. We can think about it the way we want, but the fact of the matter is, that they are OUR people, ideologically. They want Change.

In this way, Mr. Barack Obama legacy is what this is all about. Can we still support those who rise up against tyranny? Are we still sound in the way we think.

Wars can be many sided, and have different content. But the flame of Democracy is lit, and when it is lit. It is hard to put out again.

This is the core of what is happening on ground, and when you think about it. Perhaps this is good.

Obama 2.0 is a good thing.

G-d bless the will to do good in our world.

Economics

December 19th, 2022 No comments

Economy is named by Aristotle in his work by the same name. The theory is, and this is something, I believe is truly right, that a nation is like a household. In fact you can look at each level of the society, and the same basic mechanisms repeat on each level. In a family you have to have a family that is organised, and has some arable land, (in the time of Aristotle Athens was basically an agrarian society). An arable land, that could produce a certain amount of fruits of the earth, that could be sold at the market.

The same goes with the community and today with a nation. The production of elements that can be sold at the market is what defines the richness and abundance of a society.

So, the basic tenent is the rock bottom on which the Aristotelean/Obamanomics idea lay upon.

This realization has changed the dynamics of economic investment quite a bit in the Anglo Saxon world, both the UK and the US.

But the problem is, that even though we KNOW how it works now, changing the dynamics is REALLY difficult.

Outsourcing has diminished, but getting the American companies to return the production to the US seems to be really difficult.

One of the things, that seems to be the problem is the fact, that it is much easier to produce things in China. You don’t have to worry too much, and labour protection is non existing.

Capital don’t care much about human rights, seems to be the idea.

So in essence, what we need to figure out is a way to make our own production comparable and competitive up against the labour intensive and cheap production companies of China and the far East in general.

This is the SECOND part of the Aristotelean book economics. That is all about the optimisation of the way we make a family produce products. Remember, Aristotle has this idea, that on each level the same basic mechanisms are repeated.

Anyway, I am going to write a book about that, so this is really my next project, that will be reflected here on the blog.

HOW do we, as a civilisation, become better at making things?

We can still do it, we make a lot of high quality things, competitive items in the west, but we need to be able to compete with the far East on our own premises, to make a viable future for ourselves.

We can do this, but it requires us to take up the challenge.

G-d bless the will to compete on equal terms with China and the far East.

Made in America

December 15th, 2022 No comments

Ok, we need to work on with our economic policy. As it stands, we have made some strides. The fight with China has been, partially succesful. Moving production and good jobs out of the US has lessened. But it seems to me, that it is pretty difficult to get the production BACK to the US.

The deal with the conductors was a very good move, no doubt about that. But it is just very difficult to convince the inventors of the US, to move the production back.

Just look at Apple, yes they will make one computer in Texas, but the major production of the Iphone, which should be an item that should be made in the USA, proudly, seems to be moving to another country. The day where it says, designed in California, made in the USA, is a day where, quite literally, the US economy will have a rebound. Because it is a symbol of how the industrial leaders are coming back to the US. Just imagine that.

So, how do we get them to bring those important industrial workplaces back the US?

Have we tried talking to them? Reaching out?

I mean talking to mr. Cook may not be such a bad idea, maybe create a board of leading industrialists, whom we can communicate with.

In the old days of Aalborg, the union leader was a close friend with the industrialists of Aalborg. This symbolic relationship made Aalborg a good place with serious work for the craftsman.

Maybe such an alliance can be put at place again?

G-d bless the three very important words; Made in America.

Change in the world

December 14th, 2022 No comments

The world is kind of shifting these days, there are two main motors of this change. First is the rebellion in Iran against the system. This is a world changing event. According to my sources the Iranians are just finished with islam. They are never going back. To be honest, with some of the atrocities that is going on in Iran right now. I really understand their reaction. Hanging people who fight for their freedom, seriously?

The other motor is the corruption scandal in the EU.

These two factors are going to really change the whole dynamics of international politics.

Let us have a look at the Iranian situation first. I fought for peace with Iran and the Arab kingdoms, with Barack, and we did actually make peace. Still it is holding in relationship with the Arabs. Israel is making firm steps in the direction of a better relationship, and that is really, amazingingly wonderful.

But the animosity with Iran is boiling.

If we look at the philosophical content of the rebellion, they are, to my wonder, Socialdemocrats. They fight for democracy, for the rights of women. This is actually really surprising.

But that also ties into our own stance. I mean, for how long can we ignore, that the Iranians are trying to make Change?

So, at least, we should recognise what is going on, and support the rebellion to some extent. There is still mr. Blinkens attempt at making peace with Iran, that should still be a part of our negotiations. But, I mean, we have a moral obligation to support people who are fighting for their freedom against a tyrannical, oppressive system. It’s just the very core of what it is to be American.

We fumbled the whole situation with the Shah, that led to the islamic take over, just because we do not really understand the Iranians. But this time around, we need to look at the facts and support these courageous people.

So the other issue is the horrible corruption of the EU. I mean in the World Cup, it has just been over the top. Disgusting.

Quatar money has been found in the pockets of so many officials of the EU administration. This is beyond compare, and should really mean some kind of mopping up of all those who are in the gravy train.

Just imagine the suffering of all those migrant workers who help build the stadiums of Qatar.

Are we really going to just ignore that, and then accept that the officials of EU are going to SUPPORT this disgusting behaviour?

It has to mean some kind of change in the way the administration work, or obviously doesn’t work.

What this will lead to, I have no idea, but we have to prepare for some kind of consequence.

And all this happens in a middle of a major crisis.

We are going into a very difficult winter.

G-d bless the will to do good in a situation where evil is abundant.

The evil in our midst

December 11th, 2022 No comments

In Denmark, lately, there has been a lot of controversy around the government, and also the social system, that is really corrupted.

This is the truth, corruption, ridicule and oppression of our weakest citizens has been an issue, and it is an issue.

One of the things I have worked with is the handicapped. Disabled people, with very little ressources. My main task has been to try and support Hanne, who has been fighting with the system for most of her life. The things that she has been through beats your imagination, it is truly evil.

On one hand it is an opportunity to understand what evil really is. You can see it in front of your eyes, and you can fight it, as journalists do; enlightenment, dialogue and so on.

But at the other hand, this is a point of shame. Denmark is supposed to be the epitome of civilisation, and here we are being evil to the weakest of our society.

That is not right.

So there are a couple of questions you have to ask yourself. First of all, what are the means, and how do they work in an ethical frame. I mean, being evil to evil people could sound nice, but your essentially just end up doing the same mistakes as the one you are fighting. So you need to be reflected upon your methods.

As a journalist, my weapon is enlightenment. Exposing the crimes. And that may seem heroic and wonderful. But the problem is, that the system that is systematically oppressing our very weakest, they are not that happy with me exposing them, so they apply pressure, in their normal corrupted way of harassment and censureship.

So you end up being physically and materially attacked by truly evil people. These are not just bureaucrats or imperialists or whatever negative view you have on evil, they are truly evil.

They will steal the children of families that can take care of their families, they will punish disabled people for speaking up.

Not only that, the system is rigged. The institutions that are supposed to do the checks and balances are controlled by the people, that is doing all the oppression.

This has come to the fore, after I started digging around, and that is not good.

However, and that IS good, several parties in the Folketing (our parliament) are talking about a reform.

To me, that should be a reform of transparency, we should be able to know what is going on. But there are others who believe, that the municipalities should be sanctioned.

Well, perhaps I am the idealist, and truly believe in the force of the light in the sense of enlightenment and truth, but there is probably some merit to the idea, that corrupted people should be punished. I admit that.

What it all comes down to, it the fact that a state is judged by the way it treats its weakest citizens. Not just on the surface, but truly. Do a society protect its weakest members, or does it prey on them and treat them viciously.

That is ANY human civilisation.

Yes we need to treat the environment better, protect wildlife, make more forests in Europe, but if we forget the weakest members in our society, then that is grave mistake.

We need to look evil right in its very gaze, and stare it down.

Only in this way, do we make a worthwhile civilisation.

G-d bless the will to look evil in its eyes, and stare it down.

Pick the winners

December 9th, 2022 No comments

Concerning the energy situation in Europe, there are some issues we need to discuss.

First of all, we need to understand, that the energy market is like any other market, it works best if it is free.

How should we understand this? Well, innovation cannot be controlled. The state can invest some money and ressources in an area, and it will develop from there. But the exact result is impossible to know.

Currently we have two paths we are working on, on the big scale.

The first is windmill energy that produces hydrogen. This can, in the future be used in cars and aeroplanes.

The other one is windmills to produce first hydrogen then methanol.

This can ALSO be used as fuel in cars, aeroplanes and ships.

Which technology will end up being the winner? We don’t know, so we should step back, after having invested all the money in the area, and see what develops the best. We will, potentially loose some money, but that is the way of a free market.

Beneath the fuel discussion there is also a discussion on how to make the energy. There are numerous sources, windpower, solarpower, nuclear power, hydrodams and so on.

All these technologies are developing. Again here, we would step back, and the let the market rule. We should help where the help is needed. But we should end up in a situation, where it is the market itself, that drives the innovation and creates the solutions.

State controlled business is and always has been a dangerous construction. It can work, but the market is able to innovate, and what we need right now is innovation to make new ways of renewable energy.

There is another thing we need to talk about, the grid.

When we have made these new fuels, it has to get to the consumer.

This means, we have to understand, that if we want to make a lot of electrically driven cars, the grid has to meet that expectation. That IS the state.

Also hydrogen needs a whole new infrastructure to work.

How do we make that, and is it even realistic?

Isn’t it more realistic just to use methanol, that is a product of hydrogen, and make a small adjustment to the cars we have already? And then just make a stand in the existing gas tanks for methanol.

So we need to understand, that the infrastructure has to follow the demands of the costumer and the innovation.

Again it is a free market, so we should be careful to controlling.

We should pick the winners.

G-d bless the will to find good, reliable solutions to green tech demands.

Thank you

November 22nd, 2022 No comments

I have been doing a lot of soul-searching lately. Why is it, that whatever I do, and I hope my readers feel, that I do a lot for them. There is no such thing as giving back. I mean, just imagine all the Americans, that thrive with what I have given them. Better housing, more prosperity, a better place in the world. Not a single American has EVER given me anything back. Not a thank you, not a high five, not a cent. Nothing.

Why is that really. Is it because that I am scaring, or snobbish. Why do Americans just take me for granted?

In Denmark, I have had enough of it. The candidate for PM Søren Pape, wanted me to help him win the election. But he didn’t even want me close. I mean, that is insulting.

So I simply did not help him. I could have helped him, I even offered my help. But he didn’t want to be seen with me.

Ok, I mean, seriously, if I am so contagious, then why on earth are my ideas so popular.

Now, I am not in this game to win, or for the popularity. I do it, because I like it, and because, essentially I am good person. I feel, if I have the skills to help other people, then I should do it. With great skill comes a great responsibility. So I help, and support.

But it gets to a point, where it is honestly a bit of an unequal one sided thing.

So, if I am to help the next leader of the conservatives here in Denmark, he has to give something back. It shouldn’t be a lot. But something that is of value to him. You know I would appreciative a simple high five, a thank you Asger, for your service.

It doesn’t have to be economy or something like that. Just a simple thank you, preferably officially would mean a lot to me.

Thanks guys, I guess I just had to get off of my chest.

So in this world, there is a universal economy, of giving and taking. If we learn to give, we will make the world a bit better.

G-d bless the will, to be able to share our love and appreciation.

Change

November 17th, 2022 No comments

Well, it seems to me, that both the UK and the US is pretty ok. In the UK there is very little discussion, and that is a good sign. It is always when people are unsatisfied with the status quo, that they start to make trouble. So, in a very real sense, we are in a good position. People like the combination of a severe and serious economic police, that targets the production, and a tight migration policy.

So, that is a good sign.

At the same time, a patriotic production policy in the US is also pretty popular. I was honestly surprised with the succes of mr. Biden.

People are tired of all the drama, they just want the Trierism to work, and then keep on going on with their lives.

Ok, we can’t sleep on our laurels, so we need to develop new ideas, and tackle the conflicts that is around us.

But all in all, our ideas are really working, and we are progressing along a path that actually leads to peace.

I have given it a lot thought, about what is truly happening. At the core it is not policies, it is something else. It is a renaissance. A rebirth of our culture, that is so amazingly beautiful.

That is the true Change.

G-d bless the will to be the Change we talk about.

The problem of poor people

November 8th, 2022 No comments

Ok, here is the problem mr. Sunak. You have absolutely no idea about how it is to be poor. No idea about the suffering, the unpaid bills, the angst, the abuse and the constant stress and ridicule.

But the thing is, to be poor is not so different from being rich, really. I happen to have a big foot in both worlds. My fathers family used to be a, and still is a very rich family from Bangladesh. We have numerous NASA scientists and prolific academics in my family. Same with my mothers family. My aunt studied at Sorbonne and so on.

But I happen to be a son of the black sheep of the family. My mother was a rebel, a communist, a liberator, a flame upon the firmament of people, so she ended up in a ghetto, where I grew up. My dad went back to Bangladesh, a drunk at the time, and I grew up in a neighbourhood, that was filled with thieves, prostitutes and just a lot of poor losers.

The thing is, to my experience, and I really do have a personal experience with it. You have good poor people, you have good rich people. And you have bad poor people as well as bad rich people.

There are plenty of immoral scoundrels in the rich people world, and they are exactly the same as the ones being poor, the only difference is just the amount of money they have. I have a really rich friend, he is a doctor, and he is the best person in the world, and I have a poor friend, it’s the same, a cool guy.

The thing is, the PROBLEM of the rich and poor are different, and that is what it is all about. Where rich people can suffer a lot from loosing status and having to try and keep up the pace with their peers, poor people have MATERIAL problems. They can’t afford their housing, can’t pay their bills, and this leads to a lot of suffering.

So what you need to think about, when you want to help the working class it is about giving them a job. If they don’t have the ability to keep a job, make sure, SOMEONE in the family can carry the workload.

How do you give them jobs, you make sure, that the factory is open. It is as simple as that. Keep the production going.

But that is again a problem, because there has been A LOT of outsourcing of production, you need to make that stop. Make Britain build better.

Again, we are, essentially, all the same. But the poor people suffer when they can’t get a job, so that is what you are supposed to help them with.

And, if they loose buying power, stem the flow of inflation, make sure, they can pay their energy bill.

Do that, and you will meet their true needs, but make it fast, there is not much time to prove yourself.

G-d bless the will to make a stand, for both the well off, and for those who have so little. G-d bless the United Kingdom, and may it prosper.

The way

November 7th, 2022 No comments

Rishi, you are in a good position to make a difference for all those, who are not directly descendant of the vikings that battled at Hastings in 1066.

BUT, this is my experience with the work I did with Barack Obama. Being of coloured skin as a PM forces you in a more conservative direction. You have to be more English than the English in a sense.

People will look at you, and think. Can we trust him, and you begin at minus 5 in the eyes of all the brits that are, right or wrong, wary of migrants.

BUT it is also an opportunity to show that even though your ancestors came from India, you actually support all the good things of british isles.

You know, my experience is, and I live in one of the most conservative parts of Denmark, people will look at you with suspicion in the beginning, but the WILL give you a chance to show who you are.

The key to be accepted is to be MORE conservative than the conservatives in the moral sense.

Be more honest, more supportive of the nation, more caring, be an example to the brits as to how you see the Great Britain.

If you do that, you will survive the onslaught and the suspicion.

Don’t go with the ones who tell you to do tricks and lie, be honest.

It is difficult, but that is the way.

G-d bless the British Isles.

The soul of the Nation

There is an option for the new PM to try and go the path of “change”, that mr. Barack Obama trailblazed under his presidentship. I have tried to give it some thought, and these are my initial reflections.

The US is very much different that the UK. The US is a PRODUCT of the US in the sense, that all the rebels of the old world sought refuge in the new world, and has therefor created a society where idealism and the pursuit for a better world is the driving force, the frontier.

In the UK it is different. The UK is a combination of welsh, irish, danish and essentially Roman ideas. A viking/roman system that is forged in time immemorial.

Change is to find a way in this setting and renew it.

Change is not a superficial, scholastic attempt at doing someting, but a profound search for the very core of the American society. If Change is to be made in the UK, it should be made on the terms of the UK.

In that way, potentially we can contribute to the very healing of the nation, in the sense, that many are searching for answers in the UK, but few truly are able to understand what it is to be a part of the Nation.

Defining that answer is what Change is about. You can reboot the economy, but that will only heal the material realm, healing the spirit of the nation is really what Change is all about.

Take that path, and the profoundness is possible.

G-d bless the will to look deep into the core of the british national soul.

Reaching out

October 29th, 2022 No comments

Ok Rishi, one of the things a premier minister does in hos first days, is to reach out to our allies. Especially these days, where the UK is in trouble due to energyprices spiking, we need to reach out and get some help. Yes, it will cost us a little, but this is the time we need to use our friends. I am quite sure, that the Americans are waiting for a call.

Just call mr. Biden, I KNOW he will be happy to receive your call, and make a statement internationally as to your leadership. If you want to go from junior to senior, you need to do what seniors do. And that is show the force of the country to the world.

Asking for help in terms of energy may be humbling, but the people of the UK needs help.

In such a time, you call your friends.

The US is a great friend, so the Americans will share some of its ressourcer with a brother in need.

G-d bless the will to reach out to the United States of America.

Reconciliation

October 27th, 2022 No comments

Ok, Rishi, this is it, another go at making some kind of progress in the UK.

First of all, one of the low hanging fruits of premiership is to connect to foreign leaders. It is an easy way to make a statement.

But, and this is where you need to chose, you need to come up with how you view mr. Putin. This issue is difficult. If I understand the signals from Washington correctly, they are swinging more towards east. To confront the threat of China, that is growing by the minute.

Here a better relationship to the European Union is a good thing, and can, perhaps, mend some of the wounds that were inflicted on the relationship in Brexit.

It would also soothe some of the tension in the UK, where the remainers are still feeling the sting of the loss.

Uniting the UK, is to reach out to the remainers and the EU, and perhaps find some kind of reconciliation.

That would be a good first move.

Then we need to work on the economy and the internal conflicts that are still ripe in the UK.

G-d bless the will to find reconciliation in the UK.

Energy

October 24th, 2022 No comments

One of the things the new premier minister has to deal with is energy.

Energy has been an area, that has been neglected for far too long.

Lets have a look at it.

First of all, one needs to understand, that energy is like the firewood of a kitchen. If there is no firewood in the kitchen, the pots cannot produce soup and we cannot fry our beefs.

Energy is the fuel of the economy.

We cannot make more food than what a family needs, so a surplus of energy will not make much sense. But too little energy will make the economy grind to a halt.

All of a sudden, nothing works. No heat, no production, no movement of the economy.

So, we need energy, and preferably in an abundant and cheap supply.

So, we have been working on this since Ørsted, who realised, that you could move things with the use of electricity. Ørsted invented the electrical motor.

From thereon, it was, essentially, a matter of time, before the industrial revolution happened. It happened in the UK, but it was actually a Danish invention, that made it possible. With all due respect to Newton, and his blazingly propelling ideas that made the UK move us from a world of dependency on manual labor to a world where we can move things with the force of other energy sources. That is really the real difference between an energy based culture and a culture based on manual labor.

But, after the Second World War, we were so downtrodden and helpless, that we accepted cheap energy from the Arabs and Russia. There was, however, a price tag. The price tag for cheap oil was mass migration into Europe, and the price tag for Russian gas was dependency on Russia, something we are now feeling in a desperate moment.

Anyway, it all makes sense, to free ourselves from these shackles that we have put ourselves in, and is really easy, if we just put our minds to it.

First of all, we experiment with ways to produce energy. In Denmark we have experimented with windmills and now relatively safe nuclear plants flowing on the sea.

Add to this power to x, that converts the energy into biofuel, and voila, an abundant a cheap energy source, that we can produce ourselves. It is called the green change, but really it is just common sense.

Anyway, the UK should use ALL its considerable strength in the field of physics, to come up with new ways to make energy. Denmark is leading, and Germany is tagging along. Siemens is building a lot of windmills at the sea, and this is a boon to the European Union. Maybe a collaboration in this field could propel all of Europe in a better direction, due to the shared problems we have.

Alternatively, make a deal with the US. They have plenty of fuel at a low price, but have a look at the issue and try to fix it, as fast as possible.

G-d bless the will to be good and timely in the face of a crisis.

Fair play

October 22nd, 2022 No comments

Ok, there is a problem within the Conservative party, and here are some reflections as to what to do.

First of all, one needs to look at the consequences of the Ukraine war. Millions of citizens are going broke, prices are rising, and one needs to address that calamity at once.

Ok, we are going into a war economy, and that has to be realised. But we need to help with all that we have to support the poor middle ander lower class.

It is a major problem. We need to deal with it.

Secondly, we need to save our lingering production. The massive energy bills puts a great part of our jobs and therefor peoples livelihood at risk.

We need to get enough energy to make things work, ALSO in times of scarcity.

Thirdly, we need to realise, that the risk of massive unrest is coming, and some of it can be dealt with peacefully. But beware of islamist infiltration, that could get out of hand.

If we are not vigilant, there will be bombs thrown in this and that direction, and we need to be prepared.

Fourthly. We need mr. Johnson back. I know, that he is not ideal, but he is the best bet in a difficult situation. A straightalking, effective premiership, that moves in the direction of more order, and not less order.

Because, that is what it comes down to. Order in the realm.

But it has to be obtained by just ideas and rules. What I call for, is an order based on a sense of FairPlay, for all.

G-d bless the will to progress in a way, that is effective and yet benign to those in harms way. G-d bless the will of the people in Great Britain.

A good start

October 3rd, 2022 No comments

Well, we have certainly gotten off to a good start.

Things are looking all right. Ok, we are not as popular as the late majesty her highness Queen Elisabeth, but we have made a basis to work upon.

The strategy, to do what the late queen was doing is a little boring, but it works as a good start.

You know, Michael Jackson was pretty clear about his audience. He said, people want to go to a concert, where the music is exactly like the records.

That is how audiences work, they want to listen to what they know. ESPECIALLY with the royal institutions. You can do small things, but as soon as the institutions moves too much away from what they are used to, they are unsatisfied.

BUT, things change, and the world changes with it, so as natural development in the royal institutions, we need to forsee some of the challenges that lie ahead.

The worst being the massive conflict that is brewing in the east. Ukraine fights on valiantly, but the conflict is heating up.

This has already struck Europe in numerous ways. As a reorientation in terms of energy production. Gas is over, right. We need to find new ways to fuel our production and heat our houses.

This again brings some realism into the planning and execution of energy production. We should not close down fossile fuel based energy production before we can actually fuel our economy with the green alternatives. We need to have a diverse system, that can fuel the heating and production of our economies. We also have to be realistic about food production. I am all for new ways of making food, but we still need to eat, and winter is coming.

So, there are some pretty scary consequences of not developing our energy sector and food sector in a planned and progressive manner. We have to be organised about it, and not end up in a food crisis in the middle of a war.

Then there is the military development. It is a crying shame. Brothers killing brothers, but we need to stay focused and vigilant.

This ends up being a task for the royal institutions. The soldiers may need support in terms of strategy and morale.

So we need to prepare ourselves for a difficult winter with problems in terms of food and energy.

G-d bless England and the royal institutions.

The difficult balance

September 26th, 2022 No comments

Concerning the response to the very, very difficult matter of, how to make a kingdom in these days. One of the things I think is very important, is to find a balance between new and old.

Kingdom is old, and should not be seen as a renewer. It should be conservative in its very foundation. Preserve and support the Nation.

So the balance is, 65 % nation, and 35% renewal.

We can, and should take a lot of the new ideas of green Change, it is a good thing, to make a greener world. But again here, we should be careful. Not too much, not too little. Therefor the attempt at growing our forests is a viable path. It can be done in the many estates around the nation. And it is done, my good friend Hans, is doing it.

But the more radical ideas, are maybe a bit too much. We should be careful about too much wokeness. That is very dangerous I think. It will undermine the authority of the royal institutions.

We should be seen as primarily conservative, but to be open to new things, take the best, and support that.

So it is a very delicate balance, and don’t be fooled, people are looking very keenly on our actions.

It is a tightrope we are trying to walk and balance, and we should be very observant of the balance.

G-d bless the English and Danish Throne, may it live another 1000 years.

The mild light

September 23rd, 2022 No comments

One of the things I learned in the campaigns I did with Barack Obama, was the value of virtue.

If we made some decisions that were unjust, as bombing the Pakistani with drones, we got a bad rep.. But if we did things to the letter in terms of ethics, we got a good rep.

You accrue a certain understanding of your character as you live your life.

The same goes for the current crown on the English. It is the sum of the virtue of the current king.

Therefor, it is really quite simple, you have to stick to your guns in terms of ethics. Find what is valuable to the crown, and do it, not with a fanfare or as a provocative action, but civilised and with style.

Currently, we have to get back on some of the old things, so we need to carve a new path.

That path is a path of justice and straightbacked integrity, as the late queen.

Just do as she did, and we will have a succes.

Talking about enlightenment, that is really the core of the idea of the kingship. There are actually two modes. One is Ra, that is the sun, bright and shining. This mode creates a lot of opposition, and then there is the light of the moon, Isis, that is benign and soft.

In the beginning, it is a good idea, to shine with the light of Isis. If it gets too bright, people will be affronted, but a mild light, everybody likes. The late queen perfected that ability, to shine mildly.

That is really where kingship is today. In the old days, the king would fight from the front, but as we have become a Republic. We need to stand back a bit, and let other do the heavy lifting.

But, we still need to shine our light, and that is why Isis mild light is the adequate light to shine with.

G-d bless the will to find a continuation of the English Crown. Hail to the new king.

The cold winter

September 20th, 2022 No comments

There is a very cold winter coming, as foretold in the lore of litterature.

This cold winter will be a severe threat to many, especially the small folks, who may not have so much to trade or barter.

Old people will be living in cold houses, and will, as a consequence perish, even.

In this situation, it is all hands on deck, and all who have ideas, who can find solutions, should further these solutions. It is now, not yesterday, that we should think about solving the problems.

One of the things that we can do, is to support NGO´s that already are in the field. My friend Roger Haydon Mitchells has this amazing project, where the disabled and less fortunate in terms of wealth are lend a voice. Truth and poverty commission.

These NGOs can be the ONLY voice some people have.

Lending Roger a hand, is therefor vital. This can also be done by the new king. It is not a political action, but an action of relief and humanity, that we should all do.

So please, think about the winter, and how the little folks can get through it, because winter is finally coming to the heartland.

G-d bless the will to be a generous person.

Hail to the king!

September 15th, 2022 No comments

Hail to the new king, Charles the third! This new era, that a new king may promise, is an era of both great difficulty, but also great promise.

The monarchy have not been better for a long time, and on this basis, there is an apt opportunity to make new strides to secure England, Great Britain and the realm.

My first advise would be, to find a BALANCE between, at one hand the conservative base, and at the other hand the progress of the world.

If we at one hand seem to backward looking, then we may look dated, but if we embrace the new trends too much, we seem disrespectfull of the institutions.

A viable option here, is to, at the one hand, to strengthen the military institutions, and at the other hand embrace the options of climate change.

From the dialogue we have had with Germain Richards, through my friend Palle Madsen (Germain is the forester of his majestys estate in Wales), we could embrace a new way of working with forests. Bring healthy, sound forests to Great Britain and work with the wildlife as well. My good friend Hans Kieldsen also have som quite interesting experiments with the Palomia tree, and other things. All in all a very interesting development, that could, potentially change the green landscape of the UK to a more diverse and lush landscape with an increased biodiversity.

At the other hand, we are engaged in a proxy war, and that war may spread. I hope, that we can find peace, but if not. The military will need its commander.

In this way, a modern approach to the way a monarchy should run COULD be approached. But be careful. People are used to a gentle reign, being too brash is a bit dangerous. But a wise, friendly approach, that respects the needs of the people, and truly serve them, has always been as safe bet.

G-d bless the will to find new ways for the british monarchy.

The peace

September 14th, 2022 No comments

A milleneum ago, the great vikings of Scandinavia went to the East Roman Empire to serve as guards of the Empire. They were called the Varangian guard, and served, loyally and exemplary their lord in the Eastern Roman city of Constantinople.

Along the way from Denmark, Sweden and Norway, they founded cities to support them, on their journey. Kiev being the main city, that housed a Thinge and represented a wonderful city of north.

Be as it may, the Eastern Roman Empire collapsed, and the Varangians, were kind of trapped in the middle. No one really cared, and they were left to their own devices.

It created a nation of fighting men, trying to survive the endless hordes of the Mongols, fighting the Turks and so on.

An ever increasing attempt at surviving.

But we never forgot them here in Scandinavia, we still bear stories about our ancestors who returned with clothes of so many colours. We called some of them butterflies, for their fineries.

But now the very core of the great Rus is fighting each other, and somehow we in the West are supposed to support one faction.

Have we forgotten, that they are one people, and we supposed to help them find peace?

I know, that the anger runs deep, and as in all war, people are angry. But, as I see it, and this is the true perspective of Scandinavia. We should not pour more gasoline on the pyre. But try and make people find peace.

They are one people, and should meet as the true brothers they are.

At least, this should be the ideal.

G-d bless the peace, that is possible to find, if we try, so please try.

Goodbye from a friend

September 12th, 2022 No comments

I think I have a very important note to make. After her majesty queen Elisabeth passed away. It just struck me, that I may have something to share.

I know, that I am just a lonely blogger here in the vast sea of the internet, and having been a kind of friend with her majesty, may seem both a bit strange and, honestly, a bit mysterious. But, be as it may, we were truly friends. When I was in deep trouble after my divorce, she came and kind of offered me a job, and I have fought for some time both for british royalty but also for the Anglican Church. So we were actually working with some of the same aims, and trying to figure out, how to make the british isles sound and prosperous.

So, this is a bit of a tale, as to how it was being a friend of Elisabeth, because very few have had that strange yet undescribeable privilege. I am in loss for words.

Elisabeth was that quintessential English rose. She fought for her green islands in a way, that was both stylish yet humble.

She stood up in a world of darkness as a little glimmer of light.

She fought, with all of her heart for the great british men and women, in a world where they are strangely in harms way. She was, behind the scenes, a true champion of both justice AND freedom.

People don’t know that, and I suppose I only know that, because we worked together and she liked me, because this is what I have worked with as well.

I thought you wanted to know. Not many people knew her the way I did, and it is, from the bottom of my heart, the truth as spoken. She was, this comes from a friend, a true rose.

G-d bless you your majesty, and may you live in the memories of your peoples, as what you truly were.

Farewell queen Elisabeth

September 9th, 2022 No comments

One of the things I so much adored with the late queen Elisabeth, was here grace and humanity. I know, that I have only been read by her majesty, and thus not have been in direct contact with her. But strangely enough, you somehow make connections with your readers. I made this wonderful connection to her majesty.

To be honest, royalty was not the first idea of my career, or whatever you call it as a philosopher, it was democracy. I fought that fight for quite some time now. But after truly understanding the crucial role of the royal institution, it kind of made me see, the utmost importance of that ancient idea.

I also got to learn her majesty and really liked her. I must say, in a strange way, she became a friend.

Through that friendship with a back ally philosopher like me, I hope she found, that there is a millenium more for royalty, and I have realised, that one of the things I am going to do. Is to try and support the royal institutions. Not because of the honour or the recommendations, but because, through the royal institutions will we, as a western civilisation survive this next decade of chaos that is lurking in the vicinity of our eyesight.

Winter is coming, and the wall will break in the sense, that chaos and destruction will ensure in Europe.

But, the kings and the queens will be the valiant protectors of the realms. And by these acts will they survive and make European culture healthy and sound again.

G-d bless the late queen of the british, her majesty Queen Elisabeth. May her memory live forever.

The dream

August 31st, 2022 No comments

So, we need to discuss, how to find this mirage of a place, this “Eden”.

In the bible, it is described as a place, where Adam and Eve is living. But they are thrown out of paradise, because they eat from the tree of wisdom, and because Eve is not faithful to Adam.

The moral of the story can be discussed in many ways, but the core of it is, I believe, that it is a MORAL story. If you cheat, you will be kicked out of paradise.

This brings motivation to the theory, that the story is about more than just the mythology of ancient times.

It CAN be combined with the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, that is another story about ethics. Here the story is also about sin and evil ways. It is described how the angels of spirit eradicates a city state, because of misconduct and evil.

Again we revisit the idea, that the city state (the nation) is based on moral.

If we think about it, then the point is, and now, please you have listen carefully. Eden is based on the good conduct of man, and only if we are good to each other, do we create Eden.

Eden is a place, where good people lives.

That is the essential message, that the Bible or Thorah tries to get across.

It is when a system is corrupted by cheating or meanness, that it is not a happy place anymore.

So, essentially, the point is, Israel or paradise is created, through striving for a good place in terms of governance.

Both on a personal level, as well as at a governmental level.

This is, basically what the dreams of the first settlers were about, something that eventually turned into a part of the American dream. To create the perfect society, where all are good persons, and the system is so well made, that you don’t need law enforcement. Because everybody treats each other with respect.

G-d bless the United States of America, and all those, who dream of a better and more harmonious world. G-d bless the ability to talk across the isle, and make compromise.

Paradise

August 21st, 2022 No comments

One of the effects of the Second World War was, among other things, the debunking and falling in negative grace of the nation as an idea.

I get it, people saw how national socialism and fascism sought to destroy any humanism and kindness in the world.

Yes, that is absolutely true, nazism and fascism was crime against human kind.

But my realisation has been, that it is, to some extent a misunderstanding.

The Nation is, according to the sources that I have found, essentially an attempt at recreating heaven on earth, make Israel or Eridu, as the first city is called.

Politics means debate within a framework of a city-state frame. Polis, means city, and in the ancient time, we did not have nations as we have today, but citystates. Athens, Sparta, Babylon, Eridu, Tyre.

So the genius of Hegel and his likeminded thinkers was to take the IDEA of a city state, and widen it to include a larger population.

So we have United States of America, Denmark, UK, France.

But as we went through a series of revolutions in the West, the ideas that the new philosophers put to the idealogical market was often of a dubious quality. Karl Marx was one of these philosophers with a false ideology to be honest. A brilliant analysist, but a quack architect.

The final attempt at a political revolution was Hitlers National socialism. And at this point, things went from bad quality to nightmare.

Whereas communism was pretty scary, nazism was outright destructive.

So this tradition of revolutions, that started with the French Revolution came to an abrupt end, and we have been hanging in the web ever since. We have stopped wanting to overthrow the entire system, but we have realised, that we need to fix the things that are not working.

This is where Change comes in. Because Change, as I see it, is not a revolution, it is healing.

Fixing the faults of the system, that has gone awry.

Nourishing the ideas that keeps the nations healthy and happy. Change is joy, and companionship. Change is dreaming of a better world.

It is EVOLUTION and not revolution.

So, we came quite far under Obama, but then Trump came and we had to stop somehow. Not that the Trump followers does not read my things, I can see they do. But the effect of Trump, was a lot of conflict in the world.

So, I have tried to tell people to calm down, and be reasonable. Not to subdue them, but to make people able to talk with each other and be true, instead of fighting all the time.

IDEALLY nationhood is an immensely positive goal, that mankind has striven for in thousands and thousands of years. The idea of paradise on earth.

This lofty goal, is still there, and it is definitely not an aim at destruction and callousness as nazism, but a dream of unity and love.

G-d bless the aim of unity and love.

Eden

August 20th, 2022 No comments

The reason why I have turned around when it comes to the nation, is a pretty simple notice in one of the books I have read.

Working on my book “The freestate”, that is a discussion of Democracy, I realised, that there were some incongruence in the work of Karl Marx.

This is not to debunk his ideas on an ideological level, but to discuss Marx on a philosophical level. Marx was very much into Sparta as an ancient example to follow. Where the US is Athens, the Soviet Union used to be Sparta.

Sparta worked for 700 hundred years, so it was very stable as a political construct. But, there was a keen and very clear reason why this was the case, and that was the fact, that the community was absolutely closed to all foreigners.

You just couldn’t become a spartan, you had to be born a spartan.

This is cut clear by the philosopher Lycurgus, who is the founder, philosophically speaking, of Sparta.

Then how come, that Marx talk about community, (communism) and at the same time talks about workers uniting internationally?

I mean, these two things are essentially not compatible. It does not work.

To me, it shows, the lack of quality in Marx works. It does not sit with quality. This is pretty strange, coming from Trier, where German ideas of quality comes from. We all respect the Mercedes and BMW.

But just as cars have quality, so does political architecture.

This is what Lycurgus tells us.

Lycurgus made something, that lasted 700 years. Essentially this is where the left is left these days. With a poor base in terms of theoretical quality.

Again, I do not say, that all ideas of Marx were wrong, but it has to work, otherwise it brings misery to countless billions around the world.

I mean, look at the effect of communism. It does not work.

So then the solution is pretty simple, we need to go back to Hegel, who Marx rebelled against. Hegel was right!

Sometimes, when you rebel against something, because you are young and talented, doesn’t necessarily make it right.

Hegel was the one, who had it right.

Anyway, this is why I call for a blessing of the nation. G-d bless America. G-d bless England. G-d bless Denmark. Because, I believe, that we need to have blessed nations by G-d.

This does not mean, that we have to have Neo nazi nationalism. No it means, in essence, that we should realize what nations REALLY are. It is written in the bible, it is the attempt to build Israel on earth, Eden or paradise.

It is not a negative goal, but a goal, where we all are living in harmony. Just as the first pilgrims had it. They were right. The frontiersmen, were for a dream of building paradise on earth.

This is what a nation is, if you really look into it.

So, this has been my proposition. Change, is to build heaven on Earth, in a very abstract way.

It is difficult, it can only be done, if we strive and fight for it to be realised. But it is the idea of nationhood, if you look into the layers behind scripture. The bible or Torah is just full of EXAMPLES. To truly understand what is going on in the ideological layer, you need to read the history behind these examples. So I have done that, Egypt, Phoenecians, Jews, Assyrians, Persians, Greek, Roman. All the ancient cultures, that is the bedrock we stand on.

And it is not an oppressive goal, the ancients sought, it is a goal, where humanity lives hand in hand in harmony.

G-d bless the will to follow the ancients, and rebuild this world in trust and companionship. G-d bless the dream of Eden.

Made in America!

August 19th, 2022 No comments

It is at once a great privilege and and terrible responsibility, to take up the mantle after great thinkers as Immanuel Kant, Jürgen Habermas, Søren Kierkegaard, Adorno and Karl Marx.

Being a centreal european thinker in the same mould as the Frankfurterschool and off cause Danish thinking, the schools that these predecessors have produced are pretty amazing.

At the other hand, it is also my privilege to counter and rebel against my forefathers. Maybe I am in the same family as mr. Karl Marx, but that only makes it more prevalent to say, that yes I do respect the man, but it is my job and right to discuss the man.

No, I do not believe in an international borderfree world, I believe, as the predecessor of Marx; Hegel, in a g-d inspired nation.

This does not mean, that I do not understand and respect many of the ideas of Marx, yes, there should be a social system in the state to protect the weak, yes, there should be a community to stem from, yes, workers are to be supported. But, it is, to me at least, folly to think, that we can have solidarity with people we do not know. We need to start with what we know, and then start from there, and expand it. This is the natural way. As Alinsky said, we need to ORGANIZE! This organisation is done by someone, with the aim of something. But also, as the old union leaders said. Let us work with people who make plants and produce stuff, if we can.

It does not necessarily have to be an adversarial relationsship, we can, if we try, make it work, and make sure, that things are still in the oven, both in Europe as well in the US.

No, not all workers are in love with the green change, some prefer to have a car, and live in a small flat. They cannot afford an electric car.

At the other hand, we should make it so, that we build a greener world, hopefully to the benefit of all.

G-d bless the will, to ORGANIZE, and make things, made in America.

Academics

August 14th, 2022 No comments

Understanding Plato, is to understand academia. Academia is in a great crisis these days. All the things, that some see as a part of Woke, and most see as a part of political correctness, that is diminishing the ability to think freely at campus, COMES from academics, who obviously do not like the idea of letting other people talk about what they want to talk about.

This is a bit like telling a jew not to like Israel or a muslim to be unjust. It is a fault in that league.

Let me explain.

Plato was a quiet rebel. He had seen atrocities in his life, and decided to make a system, that would serve as a deterrent against tyranny. A deterrent against oppression and corruption.

Being the person he was, he didn’t do it by scolding anyone, he did be trying to build the most beautiful, coherent, idealistic system that man has ever seen.

He was all into beauty, good and truth, and many other virtues. He is THE philosopher to turn to, if you want to be an idealist.

He had seen it all in his own life time. His teacher, whom he REALLY loved, Socrates, was killed by the callousness of a class of tyrants. His other teacher Anaxagoras, was put to jail. He was surrounded by teachers who had been put into jail. The system he was living under, that of Democracy, was riddled with disgusting moral corruption.

So his attempt at solving the problems he saw in his life, was to, at one hand, point to Sparta for an alternative, which I personally thing is a problem, and then build this beautiful, marvel of a system, that we still see as the basic stone of all of academia.

Academia MEANS people who adhere to the crowd that was in the grove of Academus, a grove where Plato students hung out, as we still, in an abstract way do.

Plato was a QUEIT rebel. The tenants he gave us; the cave allegory as the main tenant is about GOING AGAINST the moral corruption of the society. His genius was, that he invented an institution, that, if it works, works against the corruption of Democracy, thereby being the very thing that keeps Democracy sound and well functioning.

It wasn’t Sparta that was the remedy for Democracy’s inherent danger of corruption, it is academia as such.

In this sense, if academia LEADS the corruption in a Democracy, something went just wrong somewhere. It is doing the complete opposite of what it is supposed to do. I mean, it just doesn’t make sense.

We still have bastions of true rebels within academia, as Chicago university, and Oxford.

But there is an inherent problem, in academia as such, and as a true platonist, I just know the ideas of this ancient person, and have lived with his ideas in most of my career, or whatever you can call it; his message is clear. We are supposed to search for the light, through dialogue, to hinder the moral corruption of society.

G-d bless the will to see things openly, and be honest and true. G-d bless the wisdom of Plato.

Peace

August 13th, 2022 No comments

After the long symposium that I have just attended at Oxford university, a lot of good analysis and understanding have evolved as a result of the discussion.

First of all, I have been quite critical against woke for some time. The reason being, that I do not see this new cultural marxist idea to be very much in contact with the whole idea behind cultural marxism. Cultural marxism is, at its core a religious, humanistic, Jewish philosophy, that seek to further the right of the individual.

The mass movement of woke is against the very idea of woke, that is supposed to see each individual as something sacred.

How can safe spaces, and political correctness have anything to do with the sacredness of an individual?

Harking back to the beginning of cultural marxism; Adorno, Horkheimer is to realise that the opposite of nazism is not just the fight for a fair treatment of minorities, which I think is extremely important, but much more, the ability to treat people humanely. Freedom of speech being the main idea.

Enlightenment, that Adorno speaks about, is being true.

I also believe, as a result of the discussion, that there must be a certain faithfullness to the idea of non violence. I know that in Ukraine and the Middle East, we have to defend ourselves, but the point of non violence is essentially, that war is about the virtues of each opponent. If you find yourself fighting against a party, that is totally beautiful in terms of ethics, and carries the sacrifice that they have to endure with a smile.

Then you fight against someone, who are truly good persons.

Seeing each other for what we are, is important, and making safe spaces, to shut that important truth out, is a step in the wrong direction.

Thoreau, who came up with the ideas of non violence, was a principled person, who preferred going to jail, rather than obey an unjust law. He was a simple living guy, who just didn’t accept the rules, if they were unjust.

That is the true example.

G-d bless the will to truly find peace, in a world of conflict.

The work of G-d

August 1st, 2022 No comments

When you work for spirit, the aim is to make a better world. But how may that world look like? It is a world of happiness and joy. That is entire project of the monotheistic religions, to meet in joy, love and happiness. Dance, have fun, meet across the normal boundaries that set people apart.

G-d bless the Lambeth conference

Holding on to our humanity

For a long time, I had the good fortune to be so strong in my faith in humanism, that I did not succumb to the usual death trap of bitterness and vindictiveness that is often accompanied, with people that searches for light and truth.

Plato explains it like this. Humanity lives in a cave. It is strung to the end of the cave wall with strings, so it can only see the shadows of a small bonfire that is behind them. But, between the bonfire and the peoples, some guys walks back and forth with carboards that casts shadows on the cave wall.

The point being, that most people only see the manipulated truth, not the real truth.

So the task of the philosopher is to go down into the cave, cut the strings, and let the true light into the cave.

This story is the main story behinds things like journalism, science, a lot of religion and many other application, for thousands of years.

The problem is, when the philosopher cuts into the strings, people start to rebel, and are angry with the philosopher. Bringing truth into the cave is unpopular. The truth bringers are rarely popular.

So you do, as a philosopher, end up in a string of harassment, are put to jail even and even, sometimes, put to the stake and burned alive. As Galileo, and Anaxagoras.

You know, I have just been through another bout of persecution, by the city council, by the cultural minister, by some people of the antivaxx, by a ring of peadophiles and so on.

For the simple act of being honest about the problems we face these days, and for calling out the crime ridden underworld here in Northern Jutland.

Now even I do have my limits, and after a hectic spring, with a lot of struggle, I found myself in a position, where I fought on endlessly.

That was the trap, right there, the bitterness, the loss of faith in humanity.

Because, and that is a profound realisation, enlightenment is a HUMANISTIC tradition. It is about the faith in human beings, and the good we can do for the world. The minute you loose that positive and constructive focus, you are just a bitter old man, loosing your motive and idealism.

Luckily the red indian community was there for me, in my troubles. They tried to heal me, and showed me thet beauty of being positive and supportive.

Maybe this is where we have ended after Trump? Lost our faith in being honest, supportive and nice to each other. We have become bitter, the fight has caught us, and we let ourselves to places, that are not good.

Holding on to our humanity is the only thing that really matter in a conflict. Loosing our humanity will mean that we have, in a very real way, lost the fight for a better world.

G-d bless the will to remember our humanity in a world riddled with trouble and conflict, remain positive and supportive to everybody, even though it is immensely difficult.

Red indians

The green agenda is not really going in the right direction. In Canada and Holland, we have these huge demonstrations of farmers, and all farmers in the world, are just waiting for their turn to be “the problem”.

To me, this has absolutely nothing to do with the idea of caring for nature.

Last weekend at had the supreme honour to be a part of a Sundance festival. It is a red indian ceremony that has taken a bit of root here in Denmark. Through some of my good friends, I was invited. It gave me an insight into who these people were, who was the origin behind all the green change ideas.

They were the absolute opposite of all the hard handedness that the farmers are handled with. Nice, peaceful, loving people who didn’t think about politics, but of being good people, sharing, having fun, singing, praising nature.

Going from that perspective to a harsh handling of the farmers just doesn’t make sense. What the green movement is about is positive, it is about the nurture the forest, the appreciation of the trees.

It is beautifully poetic and sees nature for what it is.

There is nothing wrong in learning a bit from the red Indians, and their beautiful vision. Me coming from a platonic perspective, I see a lot similarities, not least the beautiful, positive look on life.

We should remember this, when we are working on the green agenda. If we end up in methods that are not beautiful, we miss the entire point.

The green change is about love and light, and caring. For nature, but also for everybody else. It is the good guys, being nice to everybody around them.

The aim is a better world, where we share and dance and are happy.

G-d bless the will to be honest and light giving.

Good and evil

These days at the Lambeth conference, we discuss the idea of allowing gays and lesbians to be consecrated into marriage.

That is a difficult discussion, and hopefully, the conference will come to a conclusion without too much conflict.

The whole debacle stems from a discussion on woke, that see gays as a minority, that, among other minorities, should be protected.

This is an attempt at laying out the essence of the discussion to, hopefully, shed some light on the issue from an ethical perspective.

It all comes down to cultural marxism, that is the root of woke.

Cultural marxism was a branch of marxism that bloomed in Carl Marx own home country Germany, and has a lot of quality in terms of theoretical level. It is truly high level theories.

Some of the leading lights of that development was the German jew Adorno and his friend Horkheimer.

What is really going on? Well, the German marxist had to flee Germany in the Second World War, having seen the mass hysteria of Nazism. So, in essence, woke is a counter theory against nazism.

The minorities that woke see as supposed to be supported are those groups that were persecuted in the Second World War. People who didn’t fit in, and ruined the supposed health of the German Volk.

Jews, gays, handicapped persons and so on, and so forth.

This is really what wokeism is doing, it tries to find a counterpoint to nazism, by supporting those who nazism persecuted.

No, don’t get me wrong. I am VERY close to this idea. I fact, I am almost a copy of Adorno. I am myself a jewish scholar, who came from a marxist mould.

BUT, and this is where I disagree with woke. I do not think, that good is necessarily the opposite of what nazism see as good. In fact, I believe, that good in enligthenment, humanism, platonism, as described in the Bible and other good philososphical texts.

This does not mean, that we should not protect minorities, but we should not forget our humanity in the process. In fact, Adorno is quite clear about his stance, he sees humanism and enligthenment as good, as THE aim. Enligthenment is the opposite of cancel culture, because enlightenment is being true and giving space for truth.

This is forgotten today, where woke seems to have been cut off from the root.

In fact, what religions does, ideally is not simple, it is a flexible aim, that seek to find what is good in a situation.

Evil comes in many, many, many forms. It came in nazism, no doubt about that, but it has other ways. One of them, is tyranny, other is abuse. You can have tyranny and abuse in other areas of life than just minorities.

Understanding, that evil has many ways and not just one, is important, to be able to make a good world.

Because, as Adorno actually say, that is the aim. To create a good world.

G-d bless the will to find peace, and unity across the different parts of the church.

Fair play

International leadership, is a bit like being a teacher in one of the smaller classes. You have to be the one who, by your diplomatic skill, ability to make good rules, and, in rare cases, a harsh response to some of the bullies of the class, make a class with peace.

I know, I did a lot of it, when I was a teacher in the smaller classes in Aabybro, while at the same time doing some of the work I did for Barack.

It was, more or less, the same dynamics.

Most of the kids are good natured, and just want to get along and have some fun. But occasionally there is the kid, that has bad manners, and then start making trouble in the class. For a teacher, that is difficult. You have to make rules, that make the kids wanting to go along, without being too harsh to the bully.

I will give you an example. I worked with third graders here in Denmark. Some of these third graders had severe psychological problems, and were, treated wrongly, extremely agressive.

So I had to figure out a way to make the kids behave and, at least, have some peace.

My solution to the problem, was to build a small computer cafe with some left over old computers. It wasn’t much of a computercafe, but the kids could play some games, and have some fun with the other kids. Boys at that age love being together with other kids their age, and play some computergames, as long as it is social.

So I did build that cafe, and then all the kids came to join, they loved it. But there was, as always, the obligatory bully, who wanted by the virtue of his strength, and swearing, to CONTROL the other kids. Kids that age is a study into the primitive behaviour of people, left alone, the rule of the strong is the rule they abide by.

Anyway, I had to find a way, to make the kids abide by some kind of rule, that they accepted and respected, AND had the support of the parents.

These kids loves playing football a lot, so I figured, if I made a rule, that resembled football (FairPlay), it would probably be something they could relate to. So I made this rule, that IF YOU SWEARED you would get a yellow card, if you sweared again, it was another yellow card, and that was, automatically a red card. Ten minutes away from the computercafe.

It had a wonderful effect, not only was it a lot of fun to scream YELLOW CARD at the top of our lungs, but it had the effect, that the ubiquitous bully spend a little time outside of the class room, and then accepted that he was not allowed to swear. The true aim; to make everbody accept that it was common law (that you are not allowed to swear) that ruled, and not the rule of the strong, was accomplished.

AND, to make it even more of a succes, the parents really loved their kids coming home, having learned not to swear. Everybody was happy.

The point being? You have to stop being the bully, and abide by the JUST rules of a class room. The world is exactly the same. Grown ups have bigger guns, and can make a lot more damage, but the rules are exactly the same. So, to my experience, ruling the world, is not about YOU ruling, but MAKING EVERYBODY ELSE ABIDE BY SOME JUST CODE, so that ALL THE KIDS can have peace sitting in front of the computer having fun.

See? It is not about winning, it is about making just rules, so that the world is at peace.

G-d bless the will to find peace in the world.

Understanding

I am not white, you know my mother was white, but I am not. Having to grow up in a community where everybody else is white, has been difficult. But it has also given me an understanding of the possibility of being together with people, even though my skin had a different hue than those around me.

Anyway, you can either take the path of agression or you can take the path of reconciliation in a situation like that.

Sometimes, you need to fight. I do it all the time. Tough, life threatening fights. I have fought a vicious fight against some kind of marauders, who are trying to kill all the trees here in Denmark. They are trying to destroy all the beautiful, living forests here in Denmark. I fought it, with all that I have of energy and ressources.

But, there is another way, often, and it is when that path is open, the path of dialogue and understanding, that we need to follow that.

It takes an adversary or opponent who is willing to be open, to discuss. This is why it is so very important, to have good teachers and academics, who are willing to sacrifice their lives in the service of our democracy. Someone, who are using their lives, to further the UNDERSTANDING between peoples.

That is what I truly believe is the answer to all the difficult discussions and fights we have had lately. Instead of dedicating ourselves to the trenches, we should always, whenever possible, seek the path of understanding.

Doing that, will be a remedy to all the animosity we experience in the wake of Trump and the reaction from the Liberals.

We should unite under the flag of understanding, and dialogue.

G-d bless the will to breach the divide. G-d bless the will to understand those around us, and find peace.

Categories: Politics Tags:

Unity comes from good

There is a kind of change in the understanding of the liberal world view. We have had Trump, that kind of underlined the extreme animosity between right and left, and then we have had Woke and cultural Marxism being all the rave, after Trump.

These extremes, as it is, are not good for anyone. Not white people, not coloured people either, it makes people come less together and be less united.

There is a deeper level of understanding in these matters, that we have to face. Cultural marxism was a trend in the US, that came from Germany with the Jewish refugees of Frankfurt. Among them Adorno and Horkheimer. This is the root of Woke.

Being a Dane, I suppose I understand Adorno and Horkheimer better than most, because we stem from the same cultural intellectual ground.

But the difference between my perspective, that of unity, and that of mr. Adorno is, that I truly believe in the democratic and cultural foundation of the great nations around in the world.

What should unite us, shouldn’t be the animosity between different groups, but should be what we have in common. What brings us together.

Where mr. Adorno, the great thinker of the 50´es saw into darkness, to understand the light. I believe, that understanding what is good in its own worth, is what should unite us. What is beautiful and gracefull, what is kind and humble, what is sincere and honest. What strives to be true and not to be lying, what will help others and not just thinks about themselves.

These virtues are what should unite us, within a good systematical frame off cause. But what is good, is what unites.

G-d bless the will to see things from a positive angle.

For all of humanity

Ok, international security seems to be a little better. After the succesful trip to the Middle East, by mr. Joe Biden, tempers seems to be a bit less severe.

It helps, that I am supporting the American administration, and being both a jew and with a muslim father, I get a sense of understanding both sides.

Anyway, what are really the things at stake.

Essentially, leading the world is not easy. That being said, it is not impossible either. But it requires a lot of deep understanding of the world as it is.

What it truly presupposes is knowledge, of the different peoples around the world, and their history.

How the Iranians are what they are, the Egyptians, the Arab and so on.

Peace is the aim of all the endeavours of the religious, and it is possible, but difficult.

The crisis in the Ukraine is not finished, and it will continue to be fought, but in order to make peace there. We should not see the conflict as a fight against someone that we want to win, but a conflict, we need to help, to our best ability, to settle in a way, that all parties feel that they are not loosing it all. Make people not loose face.

That is difficult, but not impossible.

At the end of the day, it is all about knowledge, thinking about the world, understanding the world, and by the token of value or virtue, propel the world to a better place for all of humanity.

G-d bless the will to find peace and prosperity for all humans.

Dialogue

The mechanics of the discussion with the farmers I was a part of here in Denmark are like this. On the one side, you have an industrialized food production, that has some quite severe consequences for the health of the nature around it. We had this HUGE discussion about the leftover nutrients of the farming that end up in the fjords, making the fjord absolutely unlivable for the fish and marine life in general.

AT THE OTHER HAND the farmers argued the fact that WE NEED FOOD. In a world where food becomes scarcer, cutting down one of the most effective farming industries in the world, is probably not such a wise idea.

So the solution became 1. A fierce focus on technological development to reduce the use of nitrogen or fertilizer. Robots to focus the use for instance. 2. The development of new ways to grow protein like growing grasshoppers and so on. 3. Reduction of the least productive farming soil, turning this soil into production FORESTS instead.

What is REALLY important is the way it was done, it was done with a massive respect for the farmers, and with an ungoing dialogue with the NGOs of the field, and dialogue with the responsible foresters.

We had this problem that some other project called rewinding came in and ruined the proces, so that was partly a problem of bad planning. But this is how it is.

But I will not lie, it was one of the most difficult political negotiations I have ever worked on, so there is ample room for problems. As we see in Holland right now.

The only way to make it work, is to really LISTEN.

G-d bless the will to be as democratic as possible in some extremely difficult negotiations. G-d bless the will to truly have faith in DIALOGUE.

Green development

Concerning the trouble in the Netherlands, where we have seen farmers protesting the green policies of the government.

We have been through the same process in Denmark, and it was a VERY difficult negotiation. But we managed to succeed. We have made a deal, where we SUPPORT the farmers in their work in the direction of a more sustainable growing system. One of the things we have done, is to partner up with the leading industry of Israel, that makes some pretty amazing things like protein out of grasshoppers and meat made in labs.

How did we do it? We LISTENED to the farmers. They are not totally happy with the deal we have made. But the deal is made with all parties of the parliament, and it is as balanced as possible.

It does not rely on force, but on economic incentives.

When I worked on the deal, I was fortunate, to talk with a lot of the farmers. You know, I really love this crowd. Hardworking, innovative, extremely liberal. They are, in all essential meaning of the phrasing the “salt of the earth”.

They know A LOT about the land, and they are nature lovers.

They are ALSO very independent, and hate anyone deciding for them.

So my experience is, let them decide. Of cause, it had to be a development, that increases food production in an ethical way. But they off all KNOW how to make a more effective and green world.

What you need to do, to make this work is to LISTEN. Don’t force these processes on them, negotiate, try and see it from there perspective, use their knowledge and wisdom.

It can be done, if you have the sincere humility of a democratic attitude. We don’t own this world, we try to make it better, hopefully, together.

G-d bless the RESPECT for everyone involved in green work in general. And then MAKE IT LOCAL.

Pope Francis

It has come to my ear, that the pope of the Vatican is ill.

You know, things are like this. When you have lived a long life of accomplishment and truly great deeds. The end is not so bad.

Having lived a life of making peace, and contributing to the connection between the different groups of faith, has been a truly marvel to behold.

But don’t forget Francis, if I may call you so. The mission is to bring people to spirit, to save them from a life of misery and suffering.

That is done through all means possible. Good example, great help, guidance in the service for what is good on this earth.

That job is never in vain, and will always spur us, just a little further.

G-d bless the wonderful pope of the Vatican.

Peace

Dear Volodomir Zelenski, all international bodies have tried, whatever they could, to try and alleviate the situation in Ukraine.

It has come to almost nothing.

The reason is, that Ukraine has become a part of the international game. Where we, in the Arabic spring, tried to help the Arabs becoming more humanistic and free, the reason why we in the west try and support Ukriane, has nothing to do with political ideals, but what YOU project. That of a courageous individual, that tries to survive.

Therefor, the only way for an international solution to come, is if YOU change your rethorics.

Instead of calling for help, call for a time where we can negotiate.

This does not mean, that the help has to stop, but the only one right now, that can actually move the issue, is yourself, because you have become an international celebrity.

Use that sway over the international agenda, to argue for a plan, that will, hopefully, end in peace.

When Denmark had a long fight with Germany, we ended up in making a democratic vote, where each part of Denmark wanted to stay. That was painful. But in this circumstance, a stop in the war, will help us avoid not only blood shed in Ukraine, but also Third World War.

G-d bless the will to stop the bloodshed in Ukraine and a Third World War.

Categories: Politics Tags:

Peace

Ok, the problem about the situation in the world today is like this:

Nobody listens to the other side, and poor Ukraine is in the middle getting squeezed and mauled.

Here is an analysis, that takes the perspective of both sides, to try and relate the understanding from each side.

The aim is absolutely not to make a greater conflict, but to try and make people understand the other part of the conflict. As K.E. Løgstrup say, 80% of all conflicts are just misunderstandings.

So, let us first try and see this from a Russian perspective. Russia is, more or less, getting all the benefits of the war in Ukraine, a lot of new allies, an expanse in terms of political clout all around the world. Africa is going with Russia. Why? Because Russia seems to be the one who has the best case. Donetsk is a part of Ukraine, that is Russian, in any way that it makes sense. So people around the world see it as a just cause. They won’t say it out loud, to alienate the Western alliance, but that is their perspective. In other words, the strategy, that mr. Putin has made from the beginning, that happens to be copy of how my ideas was with war, always keep the moral high ground, is getting him a sound victory. Well, it is my idea, based on an analysis of the Pelleponesian war, so I can’t say anything else, that that it is a good strategy.

Zelenski, being new to the game, has no idea about the ideas that I, as I was the main advisor for Barack Obama have made, so he fights in his own way. He has some wins, not the least his media campaign, but the world still, more or less, seem to think that Russia has the moral high ground, and they therefor go with Russia.

Now, if you turn the perspective around, and see it from the western alliance, it is more or less like this. Zelenski is a good and just president, that we have a moral obligation to support. Not only this, he also gives us an opportunity to fight the Russians by sending Zelensky a lot of weapons. So, the justification for the war lies in the faith in Zelenski. Now Zelenski is a good guy. He wants the best for his people, and he is a liberal. So, I am not to criticise him as a person, but his and his peoples METHODS are not good. We have seen horrible pictures of people tied to posts, there is the problem with the Azov unit being openly nazi and using dark magic.

So maybe the over all cause of Zelenski is right, but his methods are wrong.

So really what it all comes down to, is that there is no real right or wrong, at least when it comes to moral high ground, but the world has, more or less chosen the path that Putin is responsible for.

That is the truth, right there.

How do we then solve this dilemma? We do it by trying to minimise the pain and suffering. Fighting is terrible, people are dying. So, if we can avoid people dying, that is the way.

If we have to fight, we have to do it, precisely and reduce all cost in terms of human life. That is the only way to fight in a world where all is transparent.

Going there, step by step, is the way.

Trying to reduce our faults, and then, if we have to fight, find an ethical way.

G-d bless the peace we can find, if we try. So try.

Categories: Politics Tags:

We should unite

The current presidentship of mr. Biden, has been all about leading, but it has not worked, why? Because to lead, you need to represent all those you want to lead. In Baracks time, Barack had a really good rapport with most of the leaders of that time. They really liked him, so they accepted his vision.

Right now, due to all the chaos of the world, people do not see the US as someone to lead them, they see the war in Ukraine, and they do not want to get into the mess.

So, in order to get back into the game, we need to REPRESENT all of the world. Make friends, listen to people, give them a place at the table. That is how you lead.

When Barack started, it was after Bush, and Bush is a nice guy, but he was not that strategic. Not like Reagan. Reagan was a very capable president.

So, my idea was, to turn the things around, and make the US extremely wise. Make the US, the person in the room that people respected due to his or her wisdom.

That worked. We found a balanced way of doing things, that all in the world accepted and understood, all were happy.

So this is way we did it under Barack, and that was a succes. Now we have Woke, and to be honest, I do not like Woke very much. Not because I have anything against fighting racial prejudice. I mean. I am not exactly white myself. But because it is shallow and unproductive.

I midleaning Socialdemocratic stance is better, to my mind.

Go with rev. King, who wanted to change to world through understanding and acceptance, not all this fingerpointing as what happens with woke.

So, there is that choice, go with people who unite us, or people who puts us further apart. I am all for uniting with a unifying aim.

G-d bless the United States of America.

Truth

Joe, you see, you can only rule on truth.

Man is a special animal. If uncontrolled he or she will go into the trenches and start figthting from there. But if you base your rule on truth and justice, he will accept your wisdom.

This is really the problem with Ukraine. The truth is, that first Russia annexed Sevastopol, that was filled with mainly Russians. Then the breakaway republics of Ukraine, that is Donetsk and Luhansk wanted to join Sevastopol. But Putin stopped the war, since he was pretty much satisfied with Sevastopol. But the problem remained, and forces of Ukraine fought the rebels of Donetsk with guns.

So Putin saw, that we are weak due to migration from the Middle East and attacked Ukraine. What he did not count on, is the fact, that there are no migrants in Ukraine, and they have a seasoned army, so he came into trouble.

So there are no good or bad in the situation, to be honest. There is a lot groupthinking and animosity. But there is no upper moral ground really.

So, this is the situation. If you want to lead the world, you need to be honest about the situation. And try to find a way to solve the issues around.

If not, it will spread, and create the third world war.

G-d bless the will to be honest and true about the situation in Ukraine.

Categories: Politics Tags:

MAKE PEACE!

Ok Joe, things are not looking that good.

First of all, it is because you have started a war in Ukraine. I really support mr. Zelenski, he is a very nice person. But the war is devasting and pointless.

Why? Because it is motivated by the fact that UKRAINE has shelled and bombed the Russians in Donetsk. So the Russians REACT to this. If you see it as an unmotivated agression from Russia, you do not really get the motivation of the Russians.

They are there to protect the Russian minorities. As a consequence, Russia has a lot of support in the Russian populace, becuase, they are themselves Russian, so they support other Russians from being shelled.

So, where does this leave you? It leaves you at a situation, where you need to MAKE PEACE!

Senseless wars is not a good thing. Just sending more and more weapons to the Ukrainians just makes more violence, more deaths and so on.

So what should you do. You should MAKE PEACE NOT WAR!

If you do that, you can actually concentrate on the Chinese advesary, that is a true geopolitcal opponent.

The next thing you need to do. Is to support India. India is an ally, and they are going through a Mohammed cartoon crisis. To be a leader, you need to support those you lead in a troubled times. Go to India, not to directly go against the muslims there, but to show solidarity in trying times for India.

The third thing you REALLY need to do, is to donate some money to Rubicon, because supporting UN does not give you anything, Rubicon does, and it is pretty difficult to help you, while as the danish authorities are suffocating me.

Anyway, you are supposed to MAKE PEACE. Do that and things will, albeit slowly, turn in your direction.

G-d bless the will to be a peacemaker not a warmonger.
