Angels

The newly minted Danish cultural minister is named Angel, or in Danish; Engel.

He is trying to find his feet in a vicious fight against the civil servants, who wants to control him, and it has made me think a little about, what it is to be an angel.

First of all, angels are not what we think they are in our modern spiritual traditions, that is benign, humble creatures, that shoot arrows of love to the beloved.

They are really something else. Let me spin a tale, that may let you have a glimpse into this subject of spiritual elevation.

Spirit is, to Plato and Anaxagoras intelligence, so angels are just reflections of g-ds intelligence. Mikael, means Mika el, el means OF G-d.

But there are deep traditions of angels, that we must understand, to understand, what angels really are.

The original angels are, as most of our civilisation, originating from the Middle East. Here these beings can still be seen as massive winged beast, carved into rock with the utmost detail.

The world of angels are often connected to astrology, so that angels refer to specific star constellations and other parts of our understanding of the celestial realm.

But what has really interested me, has been the virtues of the different angels. The angels of the seven heavens, has been my go to congegration of angels, and they are BOTH benign, AND very, very powerful.

We say that Mikael is the harbinger of light, and he will blow his silver horn, to call upon the sons of light, in their fight against the sons of darkness. Satan being the leader of that motley crew.

So we see, from that story, the story of the apocalypse, that angels they fight. What do they fight for and against? They fight for life and light, against death and destruction.

But, and that is the dilemma, they actually fight, and when they fight, their shields are emblazoned with marks of inlaid silver, commemorating the victory over evil.

This is what angels do, when they fight, they fight evil, oppression, darkness.

When there is a part of society, where evil prevails, angels roam these streets, caring for the dispossessed, lifting all spirits in the face of the sons of darkness.

In other words, you cannot fight good people if you are an angel, that would be wrong, but fighting bad people, is all what the likes of Mikael do.

G-d bless the will, to find in each of us, that angel, that speaks to us, to do good in the service of human dignity and life.

The path to peace

The world is slowly crashing into a massive world war. On one hand, we have the US, fighting a two front war against Russia and China, and at the other hand, we have Russia and China, with their allies.

The war is actually not really working for the US. The European allies seems to be lacking motivation, and even India is moving towards China and Russia.

I know this is hard to cope, but to do any serious analysis as to how we are going to change the tides, we need to be honest about these developments.

First of all, the peace laurel that Russia is offering, this would be the time to take it. Russia is advancing, and the human costs are rising by the day.

Secondly, shoring up the alliance with India is VERY important. The war with China is approaching, and that war is inevitable.

So a focus on east is pretty important, as I see it.

A peace, that gives both Russia and Ukraine a way so save face would be really important.

Then on to the war in the east. Collaborating and building alliances with the countries around China is of an upmost importance. We need to focus on it, and get it to work. If it does not work, we will be I real danger.

So a good peace in the East, and a strengthening of the borders in the west is important.

Then the UK, again, a great part of the empire is in real danger; New Zealand, Australia. We need to shore up support, and start building the necessary arms. This would be my recommendation.

We still have bit of a fuss with islamists infiltration in the UK, we need to be ready for that as well. It could be a real problem.

So for me, just to inform my readers, the reason I have been a little less productive the last two months, is because I have been put under administration by the cultural ministry.

There is a bit of a fight going on, in the ministry, involving the minister and the foreign minister. So, the civil servants are sacrificing a massive amount of capital both in terms of man hours as well as reputation, to try and harm me.

Nothing new in that I guess, but it is Purim, and we Jews are famous for getting over insourmountable odds, so I am getting through.

Hopefully with enough ressources to tip the balance of the scales in the Great War we are getting into. So this is not a plea for help, but just to inform you of my current predicament.

G-d bless the will to be strong in the face of adversity, and steadfast in the course of positive, constructive peacekeeping. G-d bless the western alliance, and may it prevail.

A renaissance man

One of the discussions I have tried to take on my blog here, and in general is; what is to be a good person. And in opposite, what is it to be a bad person.

There are off cause many answers to this question, but one of the more important answers is the, what we call “humanistic” answer.

In order to understand what “humanistic” values are, we need to understand, where these ideas, that were very influential in creating what we call the United States of America, really come from.

I have done a bit of research on this topic, and the answer is actually pretty straight forward. It comes from the Italian reneassance, where leading lights as Giordano Bruno, Leonardo da Vinci and the Medicis were really pushing that agenda forward.

The way they handled the whole discussion, was to find “hidden knowledge”, that they thought were somehow better than what they had already, thereby all the mystery.

BUT, and this where it gets perhaps a little mundane, but also more true, the sources they found that they thought were “superior” to what was already known, actually weren’t that superior.

I know my Aristotle and Plato by heart, so I can tell if something is superior to those two authors, who were known already.

The “Corpus hermeticum”, as they were called, were reflections on essentially Aristotle and Plato, mostly Plato.

That does not take any value out their ideas however, so let’s have a look at some of the reflections they had in the very basis of humanistic thought.

One of the base presumptions was the idea, that we live in a world that is enlightened and a world that is materialistic.

The materialistic world is base, all about greed, avarice, anger and looking only at the short term in terms of needs.

The superior renaissance man however was pure, devout, merciful and full of vitality. Good is those virtues, while as evil is greed, avarice, destruction.

A renaissance man will build and not destroy, while as a man in opposition to this, will destroy and ruin things.

So there is an element of construction and as they say; g-d is life and light.

Maybe these ancient virtues can still be of some quality today, where things are not exactly brimming with positivity and constructivity.

Being a true renaissance man is to be honest and pure, serious and merciful, full of vitality with a deep faith in a G-d that is truly good.

G-d bless the ability to be a good person in a world filled with greed and avarice.

Harry

Ok now the prince Harry of Windsor has been kicked out of his house in the UK.

This seems to me all right and fair. I mean, we have tried numerous times, to reach out, and create some kind of reconciliation. But it only goes one way.

Without dialogue, there can be no reconciliation.

Anyway. I hope, that Harry gets to his senses, and comes back the family. But he must show some kind of will to be a part of the royal family, and obviously this ruckus is really angering to the royal family and in extent to the institution of royalty.

There is always a possibility for reconciliation, so let’s hope, that all brigdes have not been burned down, and hope, that Harry comes to his senses, and finds his role in the royal family.

G-d bless the divine institution of the royal house of England.

Asger Trier

February 28th, 2023 No comments

Ok, so I have asked myself; Asger, are you going out of fashion. I mean, I am not a fashion photographer or anything like that, but I guess, that my ideas are fashionable, or can be of less or greater interest.

Well, my experience is, that what I do, is to create layers of understanding and ideas, on basis of other peoples layers of ideas.

Take my work with the liberal left. It is not, that I have invented liberal left. I stand in a long line of philosophers, who came before me, and gave something to the tradition. The latest was Adorno, who gave us multiculturalism. Now I have given a point back to our shared humanistic roots. Tried to talk about democracy and humanism in this day and age.

It’s not like, that I am better than Adorno. I really like him a lot, he was a leading light of his generation, its just that I took up the beacon after him.

This is what multiculturalism is really meeting these days, the push for the people, to move on.

I mean, Karl Marx wrote some amazing things, but without Hegel, there would not have been a Karl Marx, and without Karl Marx, there would not have been an Asger Trier.

My rebellion towards Marx, going back to Hegel, is what I have contributed with to the international development of the left.

Ok, now there is a fight between Russia and the US, so this development, that was really sound for the world has less of an effect, but it is there as a layer, and my experience is, when it is there, you cannot remove it. The PEOPLE wants the politicians the move that way.

So I am there, as a part of the tradition.

G-d bless the will to be good and heartfelt in ones ideas, thoughts and actions.

Frederick the great

February 27th, 2023 No comments

Ok, here is how the analysis is regarding to the Middle East. It is not Ikea, there are no easy fixes, you cannot just find a manual, and then go by that. To make any kind of progress, you need to play the game. What is the game? The game is the patient positioning of the pieces, so that you will win.

Let me give you an example, there once was a great emperor of the Germans. Frederick the great. He was what we call a “philosopher king” like Marcus Aurelius. That is a philosopher, who turn into a king.

He was great, why? Because he read the game like a philosopher, and played it like a king.

At his time, war was a bit like today. The armies were absurdly expensive, so you didn’t really want to employ them. You were worried, that you would loose your valuable army.

So what Frederick did, was, that he participated in the dance of these armies, one step forward, two steps back. But he did something, that the other kings didn’t. WHEN there was a war, he didn’t spare the armies, he went all in. See, played the game like a philosopher, fought like a king.

That is warfare. Street riots are not warfare, they are just street riots. Ok, I know, that mr. Netanyahu needs to deliver on his campaign promises. But fighting in the streets does not help at all, it hinders his moves.

He has to move, and he has moved. Not least in regards to Iran. I have not been able to help much, because honestly, after I advised fighting Iran. The leaders of Iran threatened to kill me, but now things are shaping up, and there is a positive movement in Iran in regards to the human rights of the Iranians, so hopefully they will not kill me. I respect their pleas.

Anyway, the Palestinians are only proxies, you need to see their backers as the real power players, that is where the complexity comes into play. It is not just Palestinians, it is the entire Middle East, that Israel is playing for and against.

So, see the complexity of that, and you will actually help mr. Netanyahu.

G-d bless the will to play the game like the philosopher king Frederick the great.

Rasmus Paludan

February 27th, 2023 No comments

Ok I have reflected a great deal on the current events in Israeli politics, and in the way that conservative politics is moving in general.

Maybe I am getting out of fashion, that may be, and honestly, it does not really matter much to me. I mean, it’s not that I get much out of it other and total persecution all the time. So, to me, the advent of the more radical shift of conservatism to something a lot more sinister, than my mid leaning conservatism, will not really be a problem to me, but it will, most certainly be a problem for humanity.

Let’s have a look at it. As I understand, the core of the right wing right now is that they despise gays, and want to get rid of all Arabs in Israel.

Seriously, how is that going to affect the relationship with all the countries around Israel? I get it, the Arabs in Israel are not always playing by the book. Ok, so they must be caught, put to jail, and ultimately be prisoned. But I mean, genocide? Seriously?

I know, that the humanistic, democratic idea is not perfect. I know, that we should have a kingdom, and a wise king. One day we will have that, if HE arrives. But the thing is, we have to wait.

The other thing is the king is supposed to bring peace, not war, and then how are we, if we prepare his arrival with a monster war?

We should, as I see it, slowly but surely, try to transform the Middle East, using our skill, to change the relationship. This does not mean, that we should accept killing of innocents, rockets and so on. But we should play the game deftly. Erasing Gaza is not playing the game deftly, that is a score in our own goal.

In Denmark, after I controlled the islam critics, this guy Rasmus Paludan took over. I don’t have any control over him, he is a maverick and continues to provoke. Ok, that is his right, at least until recently. But the ONLY result of all his provocations is less succes for the islam critics.

While as, when I was at the helm, we had several massive successes. But it was done with finness, a lot of political skill and just through wisdom.

So my advice and honest experience, is, if we start all this power play, it will be very bad. It could, if it is not controlled, be the end of Israel.

So take it easy guys, calm down. Mr. Netanyahu is a skilled politician, he has the support of the US, to tackle Iran. If he does that, he can actually make peace.

And honestly, what is war if it is just for its own sake?

I know, people want fast results, but war and diplomacy are two tools in the same toolbox, and if you don’t play these tools with skill, we will be like Rasmus Paludan.

G-d bless the will to be players of a deft and skilled game. G-d bless Israel.

Middle East

February 19th, 2023 No comments

I have done a lot of research into the Middle East strategical situation.

This is my recommendation regarding the new Netanyahu government in relation to the Biden administration.

There is a junction in between the Biden administration, but there is also a pretty big risk in a troublesome relationship.

The reason is, that even though Likud is centre rightwing, the basis of the Netanyahu government is not. It is extreme rightwing. Now, don’t get me wrong, I have a lot of religious friends, I REALLY both accept and respect judaism. To me, the angels are what keeps me alive, period.

But there are also a lot issues, that the Biden administration, could have a negative eye on; gay rights, excessive violence against Gaza. Things like that.

This is why my advice is, to join the American administration in the fights, that Israel and the US have in common. This is, pretty clear, the joined fight against Iran.

To be honest, I don’t really hate the Mullahs. They have be reliable partners in the peace process. The problem however is the war in Ukraine. When Iran joins that fight, it makes the system a legitimate target.

I really am proud of the peace proces we made in the Middle East under Obama, but the world is drifting towards mayhem.

But this is my advice. Instead of an all out war, be careful. People are in harms way. A mass mechanised war against Iran, will be devastating for all involved.

G-d bless the peace we may find at the other end of this conflict.

Benedikt XVI

January 28th, 2023 No comments

The late mr. Ratzinger, the amazing and honourable late pope Benedict XVI, has gone to knock on the door of st. Peter.

This is one of these things, that I have REALLY worked a lot with on a reflective level. I have done a LOT of thought as how to say something that is at least meaningful about this majestic person.

On one hand, he did, as one of the few popes, stop before time, at the other hand, he was a brilliant master in managing the left and right within the Catholic Church. A critic of Islam but not a hard core conservative.

So, he was in the same vein as Barack Obama and David Cameron, a modern conservative.

What is there to say about such an illuminary with any meaning.

First of all, he was a renewer, but on a base, that was ancient.

In this field he was the predecessor to the current eminence pope Francis.

But at the same time, he was, as a person, such a nice man. Humble, wise and just a wonderful person.

I truly hope, that Benedikt XVI will be remembered as what he was, a man, that really changed the Catholic Church, but within the frame of that ancient church, with respect for its institutions.

G-d bless Benedikt XVI And may st. Peter receive and recognise this wonderful soul.

The banks

January 27th, 2023 No comments

Well, I guess, that the last post was a bit of a whip. The whole turbulence, that it created in the US, was really a surprise to me. But I guess, it touched upon a subject, that has been very difficult to touch upon, because of all the mystery that surrounds the banks.

But my realisation, after having made the interview with the bank insider mr. Ole Bjerg, the banking world themselves seem quite happy with the discussion. I guess, that they are not that used to debate, but when it comes, they listen.

This is a surprise, but also very good surprise.

I received a paper from the national bank here in Denmarks, where they discuss the issues.

The weird thing is, when I get to know how the banks think, I actually agree. The virtues they have are the right virtues. So the ability to make people trust the currency, the mission to fight inflation and so on, are spot on. The problem seems to be, that the national banks are diverging from these ideals and are discussing the limits of the digitalisation of the money.

Well, as a moral philosopher, the message is quite clear. Trust of money is even more difficult to gain when everything is digitalised. The citizens KNOW that the banks have the ability to use their power in a way, that the banks become a meta police.

But if they do that, they LEAVE their true conviction, that of being a defender of the currency.

These ideals, if they erode, will make a huge dent in the trust of the banks, just by talking about the meta police possibilities, has raised eyebrows in many places. Yes, for now, it is only insiders like mr. Ole Bjerg, but if the national banks do not reconsider, the criticism will be increased.

But it seems to me, with the media storm, that the last post created, the banks have had to think about their plans, and hopefully, get back to their core, that of defending the currency.

G-d bless the will to follow ones conviction in the face of the lure of naked power.

The banks

January 19th, 2023 No comments

I have given it a lot of thought as to what is really the basis of civilisation.

Yesterday, I made a long interview with another philosopher called Ole Bjerg. He has been criticising the banks quite a lot from an ethical perspective. He is of the opinion, that the banks have forgotten their own virtue, that of putting money aside for hard times. Banks are supposed to be about savings.

As I understand Ole, the banks have all kinds of political ambition, they want to control the citizens with acces to money.

Well, I agree, to some degree. To me, the most important thing, the very bedrock of civilisation is protecting of the weak. It goes through our justice system, it is the point of socialism and is the prime virtue of all knights.

Then how does that work with a banking system that is supposed to protect our assets, and now have political ambition?

Is this political attempt protecting the weak?

If it is that, then I guess it makes sense, but seriously, we have PLENTY of economic problems these days, not least the Geist of inflation, that is made because the central banks gave the banking industry a lot of money ten years ago, and our production sector is loosing steam.

So, I mean, what is it really the banks want?

The banks COULD help society by making ressources available in the industrial sector, that would really help the nations in Europe and the West in general, but now they fuss on how to control the citizens.

It seems to me, that the banks are kind of confusing what they are here for. We really NEED the banks in a crisis situation, to be responsible and protect the economy, because at the end of the day, who pays for the mistakes the banks make, the poor people pays.

So, the banks CAN protect the weak, by making sure, that the economy is working as it is supposed to do, with a sound investment environment, and ample supply for those who invest in good paying American jobs.

Fussing over the possible control over the citizens will not make progress, it will make the opposite, more recession.

Progress requires the possibility to make new things, and experiment. This is expensive, and therefor we need the banks to take risks in the industrial sector. Ultimately, this leads to more industry that makes more jobs, that makes it possible for people, to live a respectable and honest life.

The banks thus have a crucial role to play in the nation, they just need to prioritise their investment.

G-d bless the banking system, and may it help.

The way of the princes

January 18th, 2023 No comments

Full title: Saint George and the Dragon.Artist: Gustave Moreau.Date made: 1889-90.

Harry, you need to come to Denmark and find yourself. And this is it, you are so welcome. Go through the Danish royal house, if you wish.

What is Denmark in relation to England?

Well, when we were one kingdom thousand years ago, we were a minor player in the world. But that changed for England and the UK.

You grew into an empire, and stretched yourself all over the globe.

Here in Denmark, we, more or less, just stayed the way we were when we were one kingdom. We never had the opportunity to grow, because we are in the middle.

But, and this is where Denmark can support England, we kept things as how they were. We have fussed over our shared ideas for the last five thousand years.

Effectively growing into a fairy tale.

This fairy tale is yours.

The fairy tale of the prince, who fought all his dragons, to find his princess. Now, you have found your princess already, but the fight with the dragons is here right now.

How do you fight those dragons?

Well, as a prince, what you do, is to try and find the RIGHT WAY.

THE RIGHT WAY is essentially a moral course, that will lead you to slay the dragons.

Let me give you an example, from my own life.

When I had to choose my own course, I could have went with the other artists, and have had an elevated status as the main philosopher in the country, and all the fine status that goes with that. I could have become an editor of the leading newspaper, sat at the side of the queen, and so on.

From the beginning, I just hated the idea of sitting on that throne. I REALLY despised it. So I ran away from it.

I went to the farthest there was, at that time politically, SIAD, that spawned the EDL.

I REALLY tried to get away from all the attention and the sycophants.

I succeeded, now too much it seems. Now I am a persona non grata in the upper echelons of society, the black sheep, so to say. It is not, that they do not attend to what I am saying, they do. But I am branded, because, I ran those years ago.

It gives me quiet and I get to live a life outside the limelight, that is good.

But I truly learned a lot of things.

First of all, what it all comes down to, as royalty, is your own example.

You can say a lot of things, but at the end of the day. You are judged by what you do. And there is no way to cheat, people are wise. They see trough the lies.

So, what I do now, is doing. I protect those who are weakest in society. Lately, that has been a vicious fight against the municipality in defence of Hanne, and old lady with three disabled kids, that the municipality is mistreating horrendously.

That was a truly vicious fight. But it has blown light on the way we treat the weakest members of our society, and there is a major reform coming, to support our disabled people better.

Then there is the fight for our forests, another vicious fight, that we just cannot loose. If we loose, all our forests disappear.

But the way I do it, is not by going to the other elite artists, I do it by talking and connecting to those who are in the fight.

I help them, support them. I do it with my own hands.

That is horrendously difficult, and often I get to my own limits. But that is what really is all about. Fighting dragons, is fighting dragons.

You have this ability as well, I can just see the talent shining through.

You need to find a simple and truly discreet way to fight your dragons.

Don’t go with the limelight, that is not where you change the world to a better place. The way you change the world to a better place, is by being with those who are truly fighting.

These people are simple, those who truly fight. Honest, humble giants of humanity.

If you find yourself with those people at your side, you know that your fight is REAL.

But it is very difficult, because you have to be humble, and essentially humble yourself.

But the people who are really fighting are amazing. So you get to get really good friends. And that is much more important that all the limelight in the world.

G-d bless the will to see the way, to make a difference and make the world a much better place in the face of spirit and all his angels.

The balances

January 16th, 2023 No comments

I have thought a lot about how to be a royal these days, and honestly, I come only from a minor house. It may be that of an illustrious one, but it is not a royal house.

So these ideas are not based on ideas of royalty, but rather my own experience with finding a way as an aristocrat in a world that does not care much for honour and integrity.

Ok, this is my experience.

First of all, you need to find a balance between liberalism and conservatism, and that is really the difficult thing.

If you are too conservative, people will see you as old-fashioned, and not up to date. If you are too liberal, people will see you as abandoning the tradition.

So, you need to walk that very narrow scope. In practise you need to take the best of each tradition, and make it your own. This calls for a very high amount of quality inspection and valuation.

Take climate change, that I have worked a lot with. There are amazing things in this area, and there are awful things in this area. The good things are energy development, forest care and just caring for nature in general. The bad things are a skewed focus on too much green energy, without regard for the transition to green energy, effectively destroying the economy. There is also these ideas called rewilding and “wild” nature, that essentially destroys the nature, as in Harzen, that has lost all its ancient forest due to this skewed project.

So it is a tight rope, you need walk.

At the other side, there is the defence, that is very good. These warriors are skilled, cares for the realm and are essentially heroes. They have not been given the attention lately, as in Afghanistan, where they fought valiantly.

A prince could pay some respect for that cause here after the draw out. That would be positive conservatism.

So there is a very difficult balance there to walk.

But, and that is the good thing. With a carefully detailed and thought through plan, you can change the world to a better place.

This process is extremely difficult, but you have friends. Hans and I are walking this tight rope together, and we are making a difference.

So finding that balance between conservatism and liberalism, is what real politics is all about, and off cause also the support of the entire empire.

As the late illustrious and friend queen Elisabeth did.

But it is not easy, you have to be careful, and think it through.

G-d bless the will of the English people, and may it live forever.

The balance

January 13th, 2023 No comments

Ok, we have to be a little careful with the green change, that we are doing.

First let us go down memory lane a bit, and see what we can learn from that.

When the whole windmill industry started, it wasn’t really an industry, but a hobby project done by visionaries.

Especially the illustrious mr. Preben Vilhjelm was a the head of the game.

Through some debate with the insiders of the whole energy development, these are some of the lore we can ween from his era.

Preben was a genius. He was educated as an atomic physicists, so he knew a whole lot about energy.

What he did, was a genius move, to my mind. He was a the head of VS, Venstre Socialisterne when he did the following.

He professed, that what Denmark needed was a balance between windpower, and then something that never catches on in the rest of the word, but is really important to this first plan. Remember, this is forty years ago, or something.

He pushed for a renewable cycle of agricultural products. What he pushed was a system, where by you could produce gas out of waste in the agricultural business. That really worked, and today we have these small but efficient power plants that run on waste from the farms.

So, his idea was, and that is very important to think about. To make A BALANCE between the energy we get from the farms, and the windmills. Effectively making a system that would always run. The problem about only making windmills is the fact, that it only runs when there is wind. So there is something to ponder there. I know that in California, there is a lot of windmills, but you need to either make a huge power saving system or make an alternative power producing, one could very well be recycling the waste of agricultural products.

Anyway, that is an important point.

Then in the next phase, we hit a low in Denmark under the energy crisis, so we decided to be energy independent. We build a lot of oil rigs and gas production. And here is another very important lesson learned by the illustrious mr. Poul Nielson.

When he rebuild the energy supply in Denmark, what he did was, that he REALLY made a masterful plan. He counted all the beads, and made a massive investment in fossile fuel. The point is, you need to master both disciplins to really get ahead of the game.

BOTH the fossile fuel game, AND the green tech energy.

We have to get to a point where green energy is in abundance and cheap. But until then, we still need to play the fossile fuel game.

It has to be a CONTROLLED shift.

Green tech is really developing these days, especially within the field of power to x, but it will take some time to get to a point where green energy really rules. So we need to respect that research and development takes time.

Invest in R&D as much as we can, to really speed up the process. But it will take time, at least ten to fifteen years to reach a point, where green energy is really cheap enough.

So, have a little patience, but show initiative by cosponsoring the logistical development at the same time as the R&D.

G-d bless the will to make a greener world.

The prince

January 10th, 2023 No comments

When Alcibiades, the famous scion of Athens had used all his cards, and was thrown out of Athens, Socrates, that used to be Alcibiades teacher, went to Alcibades and said something like this:

“Royalty is not a given, talent, having that in abundance, is not a privilege. It is a possibility. These things are cards, that HAS to be combined with responsibility to be of any value. If you squander your gifts from spirit in this life, you will look back at your life as some kind of failure.”

That is the truth right there.

My dad was a hero. He was one of the brightest kids of his country, and had to flee to Denmark, because of civil war. There he succumbed to lack of recognition, nobody could see his qualities. So his life really just ended up as a bit misspent. He had so much potential.

So this was what I grew up with. A hero dad, who never really realized himself, and an essentially broken life. He was the prince, that never realized his potential. Actually he was not a prince, but a Nawab, which is a bit different, I think.

But then you are left with all this legacy and dreams of a system that used to be, and, many people, see as void.

The thing is, royalty DO have a role to play. It has the role of ethics and morality.

In a world where everything is falling apart, and people are, honestly really annoying, showing people, that there is such a things as decency, honesty, family values. That is the revolutionary thing to do.

There is no promise as to whether you succeed or not. I know, from my own life. But at the end of the day, your striving for a better world is what royalty is all about. Finding that path of goodness, is what it is all about.

You need to get down on your knees and pray. At least, this was what I did, when all was lost. I went to my knees a prayed for me, for my own life. And the answer is pretty simple. The way you treat the world, is the way you yourself is treated.

If you are the cool and honest guy, that respects everybody. You get the respect back. To get a good life, you need to be able to give.

Giving is so much harder than crying.

But that is truly the only way. Giving.

So Harry, you need to get up on your horse again, and ride into the sunset.

Because not using the gifts you have, to the betterment of humanity, will end you up in a bitter place, and you will be a sorry example to your own kids. This my experience.

But if you stand up in the morning, make your bed, and try your best, your kids will adore you.

G-d bless the will to be the good and amazing example, that is possible.

Prince Harry

January 9th, 2023 No comments

Ok, so the royal family is in trouble. Harry is trying to realise his own purpose here in life, and because he is such a strong and truly willfull person, this creates a lot of problems.

Harry, in many ways, I have always been a true fan of you. The potential you show, is so great, that it really could bring the world to a much better place than where it is today. Why? Because you are such a powerful person, when it comes to truly moving the world. I remember, when I first saw your speech at the athletics tournament. I just knew, that a true prince of England was born, right there.

But being second in line, is much more difficult than being born to reign. The problem is, you need to earn your place at the table.

Now, how do you do that. You do it by listening to what the country needs. You are a prince of England, at least to England, and the English people you are. That is really what matters. Not which place you may have in the official lists.

That is the truly difficult thing to work out, because how are you supposed to be a prince of England, while as you are not in the system?

Ok, I will tell you a story, that may give you a possible answer to that.

A month ago, I was travelling the forests of Denmark. I do a long line of stories for the TV station about our forest. Forests is nature, and I believe it is very important for our planet to care for our forests, so that we support the beauty of nature. Our planet is a living, breathing, beautiful thing that is alive. I am very good friends with the part of our society here in Denmark that cares for nature, a grand old aristocrat called Hans, who used to be an adventurer and a spiritual leader. When John Lennon was here in Denmark, he talked to Hans. And when Dalia Lama was here, he send his right hand to talk to Hans.

So following Hans example. I went out, to document the beauty of the forest, and try to commune with it in a way.

You know, when I was at the top of the forest I was in a forest called Dronninglund storskov. The Queens glade, it started speaking to me. I was totally in shock, but it had all kinds of things it wanted me to do. We have a great problem here in Denmark with a system called rewilding that is really hurting the animals, and another system called NNP, that is destroying the forests.

Prince Frederik lives just besides Hans, so he knows this issue.

So what is really the message here?

Harry, the message is. Don’t listen to what people around you are saying. Cut the chatter, and go to England. Travel the forests there, and listen to what England has to say.

You are its prince, and it needs you. I don’t know what England truly needs of you, I am a philosopher of Denmark, but my experience is. You need to be there, connect, talk to country. Not the media or the glitterati of stars. But the country itself.

Connect with your old friends at the army, travel around, get your head out of all the conflict, and find yourself as what you are.

When you do that, you will have a better understanding of your purpose.

And know this, you are always welcome in Denmark.

Go through Frederik, or whatever you want. But we believe in you, you have so much potential.

G-d bless the will to find solace in the fact, that you as a person is wonderful and truly something special. G-d bless England, and may it always live.

The Punic wars

January 8th, 2023 No comments

The Democratic Party is at some kind of Crossroads. I mean, let us have a bit of a look in the mirror. When Barack was in the leading seat, we had a wonderful and epic lead in all. Yes, there were things that could have been done better. But in most cases, things went really well. The US was at its peak in terms of international respect, we got the economy turned around and that did some good for the country, we even thought about making some kind of serious border control. Not a wall, but some kind of normal border situation.

Then came Trump, and the whole world went bananas. First of all, I really did my best to fight him at the election we had with Hillary. I lost, I get it, Trump was just amazing as a campaigner. You could hate his style, but he was effective. And the Americans just didn’t like Hillary.

So, we had four years of Trump, and a whole lot of chaos.

Some of the things Trump did, weren’t so bad. I mean the whole anticorruption spree he went on, was good.

But the image of the US was tarnished in the world, and now we are kind of trying to recuperate.

So we drew out of Afghanistan, and now we fight in Ukraine.

Both wars, that are pretty awful and not that good for the image of the US.

You can spin all the wheels of propaganda, but in this social media world, the propaganda just does not cut it. People don’t want to get in the way of the war, so they feing an interest in it, and then try to not get harmed.

I truly agree with Europe spending more money on defence, yes I totally agree. But the Ukraine war is an American project.

On the economic side. This has both a good and a bad effect. The bad effect is, that the American dollar is soon to loose its status as the number one trade value. This will make the American economy much more vulnerable to the flux of economy, but it is not the end of the world, because the other effect of the war, the fact, that we are getting our production back from China, alleviates this issue.

So the focus on American production was a very important step we took under the Obama administration, and it will weather the downfall of the dollar as the trade currency.

We will see where it all ends, but one things is certain, the conflict with China is not over, it has just started, and that is a fierce conflict, if there ever was one. It reminds me of the fight between emerging Rome and Karthago. The conflict between the old and the new power.

There are similarities, and there are profound differences, not the least, that the Phoenicians were not willing to face the threat, they left it to Hannibal. But this time with the US, it is different. They call it the Thucydides trap, what does not make of sense, since the prime example is the Phoenician war, and not the influx of Greek culture that was what Thucydides stood for. But never mind.

The Punic wars are the obvious historical example that the China/US conflict is all about.

G-d bless the will to be swift on foot, and honest in opinion.

The will to be free

January 7th, 2023 No comments

I have given the current wars a bit of thought, why was it, that the wars that Barack and I did, was so much more of a succes, than what the US is doing today?

Well, I think the reason is, that off cause Barack was an amazing orator, he could give a speech, so that the angels sang. BUT, the thing that I contributed with, was the honest to g-d advise, that was all pure and without any corruption.

I did all the work I did, while I was working as a caretaker in an institution for boys that had had a hard life. So a lot of the groundwork I did, was written on some banged up computer that I had scavenged for my little computercafe, that all the children were playing at.

It is this honesty, that was the philosophical basis of the success.

Everybody knew, that my advice was honest.

So, this sincerely and honesty, is the answer to how the US was so successful. Why? Because in this world of social media, everybody knows what is going on anyway. You can push your agenda really hard, but at the end of the day, all you do is really cower people into accepting your agenda.

This is really not needed. I mean the needs of the US and the West in general are both justified, and based on some values and virtues, that are, hands down, amazing.

Humanistic, democratic virtues, are beautiful.

Yes, I guess, that the US is a bit more conservative than here in Denmark, but that is a good thing. I believe, that we are too free in the wrong things here in Denmark. The high degree of divorce, the uncaring for family, is not a good thing. I speak from my own experience.

But, the US based on all the beautiful ideals is essentially a good thing. Why is it, that the world loves Star Wars, it is because it exemplifies the rebel for democracy against tyranny. We love that.

So there is really no need to find new virtues or values, what we need to do, is to be idealistic about it. Fuel the fire of Democracy, be there with our virtues and freedom, and inspire.

If we do that, it will be a good thing for the world.

The situation we are in right now is good, but it will end, if we forget who we are, and what we are. Descendants of a beautiful culture of humanism and freedom.

G-d bless the will to be free and share the ideals of Democracy.

Tax

January 3rd, 2023 No comments

Concerning the discussion on tax, and how to make a tax system that actually work.

First of all, we need to understand what the idea behind progressive tax really is. Marx had the idea about progressive tax from a classic philosopher called Democritus. The idea is, that society has a geometrical form. It can be made like a pyramid, that is the rich in the top, and the poor in the bottom, or it can be levelled out, so that there are fewer poor in the bottom.

What you do is, that you tax the richer more than the poorer.

It has the effect, that we have a society that is more equal, and equality gives us harmony.

So progressive tax is really a tool to create happiness and citizens that are content.

What it does however, is that it hinders creativity in the area of production, and in some cases, rich people abandon their country, and goes somewhere else. We have this problem in Denmark and in Norway right now. The rich don’t see it as a just system.

In a democracy however these measures are often popular, because there are more poor than rich. The rich being a minority in the Aristotelian sense, makes the politician a bit wary about making too steep a progressive tax system, because the rich don’t like to get abused, as any minority. Here I go with the classic differentiation between mass and minority, where it is very important that just because there is a majority, doesn’t necessarily make the majorities motives right. As it goes with other minorities like gays and native americans. Rich people are also a potential minority, even though it sounds a little weird, but that is what it is.

Anyway, the discussion of how to keep the production WITHIN the nation, could be inspired by the idea of the progressive tax. We could, potentially create a system that is like the progressive tax system, with the key difference, that the cheapest you can get away with in terms of tax, is valued by the amount of production you keep in the country.

So say the farmers, who, by the nature of their trade, would get a low tax, and the IT company that has outsourced most their production would get a high tax.

In this way, it is calculable for the company how much they would get the production cheaper if made in the far east, they would have to calculate an extra tax.

So it is not, that they cannot make things abroad, they can, but it would be more expensive. This would incentivise the companies to keep the production in the country, and it would not destroy the free trade agreements we have already. We can still trade freely across borders, according to our strengths. It would essentially be fair.

This measure should be discussed in detail, and be rolled out after a lot of discussion on the practical matters of the tax. Because we should discuss the how and the what. To make it right, we need to be able to compute the tax in a fair way, how do we do that, and so on.

It wouldn’t cost the state anything, because an increased production in the country would levy taxes from all those who work in the factory and those who are secondary beneficiaries of the factory. All in all, a lowered tax on the patriotic business life, would gain the country they are in.

So that is a possibility, to really implement the ideas of Adam Smith and Aristotle in terms of tax levying.

G-d bless the will to find new ways to make a better economy and more jobs to everybody.

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

October 31st, 2022 No comments

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

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.
