The climate

December 27th, 2020 No comments

I believe, that there is a balance between theory and practice when it comes to the debacle on climate Change.

On one end, we need to realize the ideas behind the whole political discourse. I mean, what is nature, and how does the ecosystem actually work, with people in it.

We are a part of the great drama of nature, and we need to be honest about the role we play in the collective development of nature itself.

So far we have been mostly negative. We destroy and use nature to our own needs without really thinking about the impact we are having on nature.

Ultimately nature is a fragile thing, and it may very well just collapse.

At the other hand, we also have to be able to do something about it. I mean discussing pollution is a concrete and serious discussion. Not only in our own countries, but globally.

When India polutes the oceans, it is to the detriement of everybody. The same goes with Denmark, if we do something that will destroy nature in some way.

So looking at this on a global level is pretty much a given.

We also have to be able to talk about the difficult things, like overpopulation. What do we do about that? So far the rate of succes has been limited, and what we have done have brought more harm than succes.

So that is why I have proposed a kind of containment strategy, or at least a more realistic understanding of how overpopulation work. We have to come to the conclusion, that in some areas, there will be famine, and we cant do much about ourselves.

We can prepare, and make help ready, but ultimately if a country is overpopulated, it needs to take action and be responsible themselves.

At the end of the whole discussion, we need to have a positive goal, and deeper understanding of nature, a cleaner more sustainable ecosystem and a closer connection to the beautiful creation that is given to us.

We are in a bit of a problem. A problem that can be solved, if we are serious and work constructively about it.

Take mr. Elon Musk. He is doing something to solve the energy crisis. Or some of the farmers here in Denmark that have experimented first with windmills and are now working with new experiments with all kind of things; gas, oil produced by the waste of the farming industries and so on.

A lot of good ideas.

It can be done, we just have to be realistic about the challenges ahead, and do something about it.

G-d bless the will to be realistic about Change.

Merry Christmas and happy Hannukah

December 25th, 2020 No comments

Well, merry Christmas and happy Hannukah dear reader. Things have finally turned in terms of downward og upward spirals.

Finally the UK is free from the EU, and have made a deal. That is good, for everybody. Perhaps not the Danish fishermen who live where I live here in rural Denmark where I live, but essentially for everybody else.

It seems to me, that when we finally get out of the Corona lockdown, we have a lot of things we can do, and a lot of projects we need to embark on.

First of all, both the UK as well as the US is in a new position, a position, where we have a positive outset, and hopefully can join forces. I really hope that for one.

There are massive challenges ahead. The first and foremost being the fact, that the overpopulation of the world is destabilizing everywhere.

Phosphor as a nutrient to the process of making crops is running out, and we will see starvation and after that wars within the next decade.

Migration being a core concern, that we have to tackle humanely and forcefully.

There will be massive conflicts along lines that will appear, be it this or that religious or political denomination. At the base of the conflicts we will see, will be overpopulation.

A complete crash is actually imminent. As soon as a destructive ideology takes over an area in a vested grab for power, and the food industry suffers, the country or area collapses. You have seen this in former Rhodesia now Zimbabwe, where the farmers were slaughtered in cold blood, as of now the whole country is filling up with deaths of its citizens.

Rhodesia is the model we are currently following, and we will all die, if we do not change course.

In the West, in most countries we have woken to the fact that that is the problem, but we still are not in agreement of what to do.

Essentially the whole overpopulation brings so much suffering with it, that we cannot stomach the things we have to do to survive.

We prefer delaying the final outcome by bending to the process.

Well, we have to wake up to the fact, that the earth is dying, and we people are the disease.

Here again, I do not believe, that we should be mean or treat people badly, on the contrary we need to realize the best possible outcome. We need to think about mother earth and what it brings us of joy and good things, but we also, as humanity, need to think about the problems we pose to the ecosystem of the earth, and be honest about it.

Just letting people wander around the globe as they want to, is not a solution for the long run. Even though we prefer having the strength of the many, we still need to realize, that there is a breaking point and be honest about these wanderings, and stop the wanderings that are unsustainable.

It is cruel, the world is a cruel place. When people flee from environmental catastrophes, and war in general, our natural instinct is to help those in need. But if it destabilizes the country they enter, then nothing has been won, and another country may fall to overpopulation.

What we need is as many wellfunctioning countries in the world, producing as much healthy food as possible.

Instead of solving our problems by evening them out, we need to take the bull at the horns, and keep food production evolving and improving.

At the end of the day, there is going to be war over territory, for the food it produces, and we need to enter these difficult times with strength.

These are the challenges ahead. I know, that looking at these things straight is a difficult thing to do. But to solve a difficult problem, you need to start being honest about it, and take the best possible way.

The next decade will be all about climate change, and how we challenge it in a wise and serious way.

It will be immensely difficult, not least in terms of fighting those territorial wars. But that is the way the world is developing.

Climate change is not a peaceful thing, it is a very, very violent thing.

G-d bless the peace we can find, if we look at the world in realistic terms.

The promised land

December 21st, 2020 No comments

I see a lot of Star Treck these days. I really like Star Trek, and I have wondered quite a bit why I really like Star Trek, it is the epitome of nerdiness, but it has something deeper resting in its ideas, that kind of resonate with my own quest of trying to convey and fight the the American dream.

At the heart of classics like Star Trek lies a deep humanistic striving. A striving for a better world, and a firm belief in the good of man.

Rest assured, in these days, we have come to realize, that the Promised land is not so promised as we thought. We can’t just figure it out, and truly there are some caveats along the way.

But at the other hand, figuring out, how to tackle these caveats is truly the task at hand.

At one hand we have a lot of principles on how to work in the world, sound, humanistic principles that has faith in the force of Democracy.

At the other hand, we have tumultuous world with a host of challenges. It is in the cross hairs of this meeting of principles and reality that we have to forge a path forward.

At the one hand, being too unrealistic about the world will not work, at the other hand being too cynical about the world will not work either.

There are bad guys out there, that seek to destroy and erect towers of tyranny. They are there, and as a consequence we have to be realistic about the world as it is. We have friends, and we have foes. That is the nature of the world right now.

At the same time, we need to acknowledge the legacy and heritage that we have.

Here is how it is. We are the most benign and best empire of the world.

That sounds great and all, but there is the truth of the word empire in the mix. That includes territory, fighting with other powers over power and so on. That is potentially a system that gives way for tyranny itself.

At the other hand, there is no comparison. All other empires in the history of mankind have never been so kind and understanding. The Romans were pretty tough, the Greek abused Egypt, the Phoenicians bought and sold their territory.

But we actually do care about the wellbeing of man.

So going forward, a kind of balance between the honesty of the Anglo Saxon empire, and the humanistic content is something we should align ourselves with.

I mean, can we really embrace the Klingon or the tyrannical oppressor, or do we fight him?

Well that is an easy answer, but at the end of the day, I truly believe that the perpertous and stubborn fight at the path to the promised land, is what we need to stay on.

We need to keep faith in the soul of the Nation, and not stop fighting for that soul.

That is what we need to understand and try to do now. Stay on the path to redemption.

Perhaps redemption will not happen, but on the way, we can make the world a little bit better.

G-d bless The United States of America.

The soul

December 14th, 2020 No comments

In the Oxford Symposium, one of the greatest presentations, to me, was a presentation of the American singer song writer mr. Johhny Cash.

Johhny Cash is one of those iconic musicians whom define the very essence of what it is to be American.

I asked the two American gentlemen, whom presented the tale of mr. Johhny Cash how the situation is with the story of the Americans, the American dream and they repeatedly said, that it is in great trouble, the very SOUL of America is at stake.

That is a pretty steep assessment, and I must admit, that it kind of scared me a bit. I mean, here in the Obama camp we have been talking about unity and have talked all the good things about being American up. I mean mr. Barack Obama himself have just written an AMAZING book called Promised Land.

So we care, and we think about how to tackle this problem.

The whole talk about SOUL kind og inspired me to think about a Danish philosopher called Grundtvig, the founding father of Danish Democratic development, and he talked a lot about “The soul of the people”.

I think, that that is really what this is all about, if there is no soul of the people, things start to unravel, and we start at the alienation.

Maybe it is about time to talk about that beautiful soul that Johhny Cash tried so hard to sing alive. That promised land, that city at the top of the hill. Keep the flame alight for the next generations to come.

Because as anything else, souls need nourishment and sustenance to live.

It will only live, if the dreams are kept alive.

G-d bless the will to really reach The Promised land.

Nature

December 11th, 2020 No comments

Climate Change as an idea and a philosophical trend in the world stems from the battle between German and British thought in the 18´th century.

At the time nature was a topic of discussion in the great halls of learning, and great leaps of understanding in what nature was, was done.

Among them, the crowning theory; that of Darwin.

But before and around Darwin there were many discussions, Linné, the Swedish botanist that defined the whole system of nature, Göethe, Herder and Kant that discussed the ideas from a Platonic as well as Aristotelean perspective.

So the discussion of nature, that has lead to climate Change ideas, are very deep, AND it talks to the rift between Anglo Saxon thought and German thought.

This whole discussion is what it really is about when we talk about the rift between religion and science. Because the Anglo Saxon as well as French thought drifted towards materialism German thought tried to cling onto spiritualism, but had eventually to give into the Newtonian ideas. Hence Marx and Nietzsche.

But to heal the academic world, we NEED to understand what was going on, and to understand the urge of the Climate Change workers to find spirit somehow, because that is what is truly beneath the whole Climate Change movement. We need to understand the ideas of the belle époque to move on today.

So here it comes.

Nietzsche proclaimed that G-d was dead, but that was AFTER Kant and Göethe made their call for a renewed spirituality. Politically this lead to Marxism, that is today non spiritual.

Marx taking a standpoint after Hegel.

So it makes sense, seen from a natural, climate perspective to go BEHIND Marx and Nietzsche and see where they came from.

As discussed before really the natural point of discussion is Göethe, that was a believer in the beauty of nature, and had a very profound understanding of nature. Göethe had several gardens that he tended and studied, a predecessor to Darwin, that went to Galapagos to do the same.

So what was the idea of Göethe concerning nature?

He was, and had always been a neoplatonist, so he grabbed onto the idea of a set of archetypes of life that is behind all life.

Plato had different understandings of G-d, one of them was, that G-d was good personified, and all good had a kind of blueprint that we follow.

So there was the archetypical idea of a plant and then the environment the plant or any other life lived in.

This was continued by Darwin who focused on the environmental side of the equation.

Me, I am an Empedochlean and an Anaxagorean. So, I do not hold the same ideas of nature as Göehte. Essentially I hold onto the idea that nature is continuous creation of life, and that G-d id the love in this creation (Empedochles). Add to this, that G-d is intelligence in heavens that is conveyed into nature through birth and goes back to heaven through death.

This is all derived from the epitome of Platonic thought, the book called Timeus of Plato (the book he holds in his hand in the painting above).

It took me a long time to research, and it is still ongoing.

But if we can push forth our understanding of science as well as spirituality in the light of Plato and Göethe we may just save our religious institutions as well as our world at large. Because the reason for our current predicament is faith in only the material realm, and that is important to understand. We need to heal ourselves as well as the planet.

G-d bless the will to Change and start the healing.

Climate change and unity

December 8th, 2020 No comments

Well apart from tackling Covid 19, we also need to have more positive things to do.

One of the things that I have been working on here in Denmark, and that seems to be a sincerely positive, but VERY difficult process is climate change.

After doing several interviews with farmers, and having the discussion with rev. Mountford of Oxford University, it seems to me, that at least some of the difficulties concerning climate change is to be discussed.

Let us have a look at it.

First of all, the THEORETICAL basis is pretty clear. We are fighting for a better more sustainable world, where WE as humans both understand and are part of the world in a positive manner.

Nature is according to the romantic view of both Göethe, Alexander von Humbolt and classical thinkers as Empedochles a place of wonder.

But we have to be honest about this development, we are working with neoplatonic ideas that is conveyed through Göethe.

So we HAVE to admit to ourselves, that these ideas are in essence stupidly romantic.

Now, don’t get me wrong being stupidly romantic may not be such a bad idea sometimes, but the fact of the matter is, that we cannot rely only on romanticism to reach our goals of closer contact with nature.

We also have to work in the REAL world, and as we all know, the real world is a VERY messy place.

In other words, if we walk around in the woods hugging trees, maybe we are a bit more happy, but maybe the woodsman that tend to the wood is not so happy about us running around in his wood.

So in order to turn our romantic ideals into something worthwhile and lasting, we need to turn our eyes to the vast process of REALLY changing our environment into something beautiful.

This process is really the difficult part. Because here we are met with the true reality.

What is that? That is the fact, that mechanics, academics and church organizers do not necessarily understand the world of the farmers.

Where many people of the city are romantic about nature and the country side, the fact of the matter is, that in the real world being a farmer is business.

It is these two very different worldviews, that we need to fuse somehow, and that can only be done in one way; dialogue.

Forcing the farmers to do anything is massively counterproductive, we have just had an example of that in Denmark, where the state decided to expropriate a part of the farming community. Just eradicating a whole part of the country world.

It has cost massively in terms of human as well as animal pain. People have to leave their homes and the farmers are going totally nuts.

It feels like a very, very, very heavy-handed way of doing things.

While as dialogue and understanding has been totally absent in the process.

So breaching the gap between country and city is extremely difficult.

But trying to unite the country is what this is about, and the countryside should ALSO have a voice in the matter.

So, heavy-handed control is not the answer when it comes to developing sustainable ways of working with nature, dialogue is the true and only way.

A practical way of starting working on this process is to make a committee that tries for an honest dialogue with some of the leading lights of both camps. And don’t forget, that the true experts are rarely the ones that claims they are the true experts, the true experts sit in experimental farms in secluded areas with new ideas. At least this is the way it is in Denmark.

So, please let us not be heavy handed in this process of climate change, but try to close the gap between Americans, and unite.

G-d bless the will to be strong in opinion and honest on approach.

Peace in the Middle East

December 7th, 2020 No comments

It seems to me, that we have come a long way in the Middle East, there is a peace of some sort.

We have almost peace between Jews and the Arabs, and this peace is legendary in itself. Of cause, the close kinship between Arabs and Jews, we actually look very much like each other and share the same both ethnic as well and religious roots, do help.

Israel is slowly becoming a natural part of the Middle East. Old cousins returning from years and years of diaspora.

This is truly peace, as I promised.

In the rest of the world however there is still conflict, and we have to talk about this as well as work on ways to stop them.

Sometimes you need to fight to make peace, and there are conflicts we need to address.

I do hope however, that the new Biden administration, recognises the path to peace that is finally materialised under Trump but was started with mr. Barack Obama.

Peace is something that creeps up on you, and is there almost by coincidence, but at the end of the day. Let us remember Lawrence of Arabia, the first zionist, or one of the first brits to put his mark truly in the Middle East.

Through his immense Oxford learning, his understanding of the Middle East has transformed it in his visage. The pen is stronger than the sword, and let us rejoice in the fact, that this time, the pen won, through the vast understanding of Lawrence of Arabia, the renowned Oxford scholar.

Let his memory be a star to follow.

G-d bless the peace we have found.

The virtuous

December 4th, 2020 No comments

There is a new paradigm on the way, you can look at Great Britain, France or the great United States of America, with different leaders.

But all have to tackle of the deterioration of the nation and the challenges ahead.

So, how to we go about tackling that.

As we have discussed it is about unity. United we stand, divide we fall.

But unity has to be something. It can’t be a hollow unity, it has to be a unity of some people, or some ideas.

Here I believe, that each nation has its own set of rules and ideas to work with. France is the great republic, Great Britain is a United Kingdom, The United States of America is a dream come true.

Each nation has to define what it is, and what its guiding ideas are, and will eventually be able to put those ideas at the heart of each nation. Educate people, fight for the values of each nation, and say no to people who disgrace the virtue of the state. Honestly there are some, who do not understand or respect the virtues of the nations at hand.

Those people, be it islamists or other, are and should be targets of the nation states security apparatus.

We have to realize, that freedom, equality and solidarity are not free, sometimes we need to stand up for those values, and say YES WE CAN!

G-d bless the will to be a good person in a world of conflict, and chose the path of peace.

Corona

November 12th, 2020 No comments

The coronacrisis seems to wear off, but there are still some pockets of resistance, and things to do to make thinks all right.

First of all, let us have a look at the reaction and the threat. There has to be some kind of level balance between the two.

If we react too harshly at an epidemic without cause, then people get angry, if we do not react enough when there is a crisis, people tend to get angry.

So, the right balance between too much and too little is really where we want to be.

Right now there seems to be a vaccine on the way, let us hope, that it is truly on its way, so that we can get on with our lives.

Because that is really what this all about, getting on with all the projects and ideas we have. So that we can make a better world.

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

Climate change

November 10th, 2020 No comments

Well, now it seems like, that we are back at the track again in the US.

First of all, let me be clear, I did not support any of the candidates. I held on to the belief, that it was the best man that should win. So essentially, this is not my victory, but mr. Bidens victory. I held on to the belief, that he would come through, but I didn’t support any of the candidates. It would have been unfair.

So, now that we are here. We have to get to work.

Because where lies the basic political paradigm, that seems to be at hand. Well, it is climate change.

As we in the Obama times worked on the economy, a thing that seems to be working as of now. We can work on other things to make a better world.

When we talk about climate change, we have to realise, that this challenge is pretty steep. I am working quite extensively with it here in Denmark, and boy can it go wrong. Right now Northern Jutland is closed because of a fake vendetta against mink farming. Seriously, the left is bleeding votes faster than you can count.

This calls to the fact, that working with nature in order to make it a better nature, is a very delicate thing, why?

Because the leftwing that is mainly citydwellers have to work with the countryside, where nature really is, and that is republican mainland. See the difficulty in terms of political progress?

However, as I have worked quite extensively with farmers, pig farmers, minkfarmers, fishermen and woodsmen, it seems to me, that the country boys are much wiser than what you would think if you didn’t know them. In fact they can be really, really cool.

One of the greatest experiences I have had, was visiting a woodsman, whom had been working with his forest for 50 years. The forest is just extremely diverse and interesting, it is a paradise. I know him through a friend of mine who likes spiritual things, and goes to the forest to do all kinds of hippidances and so on.

So this guy, who has been working with forests for 50 years, and is a country boy if you ever knew one, has showed us a way to go. It is complicated, by it can work.

Biodiversity is possible to work with, but it takes time.

So, having the respect for the people who live in the countryside, is pretty much a given if we should have any success in this area.

There are however lower hanging fruits, like sea pollution that is huge problem these days, we need to do something about that.

And essentially realise, that the basic premise of climate change is, that we are growing out of the planet. So we need to figure out better and more understanding ways of working with nature.

If we do not do that, our ressources will run out soon enough, and that will create hunger, and war.

So it is pretty serious.

The good news is, that if we get to work, and invite the best experts, and no, more often than not, the experts are the people, the worksmen, working with nature, and hear them out. We need ideas on the table, and an opportunity to do some real change, our future depends on it, so lets get on with it.

G-d bless the will to do good, and make better ways with nature.

The independence of the UK

November 8th, 2020 No comments

I believe, that the UK should start moving out of the EU. Get the job finished, and find some new cooperation with the US.

There are new winds blowing over the US, and the UK might just get on that train.

There are a number of agendas that is interesting, one of the being the independence of the UK.

As the drums of war is sounding in Europe, being independent is not such a bad thing.

So focus on Freedom to find a way.

The path to independence is not such a bad path.

G-d bless the will to be free.

Congratulations mr. Biden

November 8th, 2020 No comments

It is at one hand great relief and at the other hand great sadness, that mr. Biden has won the election.

At one hand, there is no secret in the fact, that mr. Biden has been a friend and a champion of my cause since he worked as a vp with mr. Obama. At the other hand, the difficulty of mr. Trumps election, and the closeness of the election is a problem. I really hope, that it will come to some kind of positive conclusion. Voter fraud is a very, very serious thing.

I mean, democracy is about giving power to the people, not taking power from the people.

At the end of the day, I am very happy to see mr. Biden back in the White House, and truly hope, that it will be a beginning of reconciliation, and the end of all the fractional fights that is within the American people. We are all united, as is the basic idea.

United we stand, divided we fall.

So, congratulations mr. Biden, it took a while to get here, but now we are here, we can finally do some good.

G-d bless the will to be an honest and positive force in the world.

It is with great trepedation, that I see, that the muslim world is rallying against mr. Macron and France.

Let me be clear about this; Denmark is 100% behind mr. Macron.

To fight for freedom, and freedom of speech is not only a must, but also a great honour.

In this matter against islamism, definitely Denmark stands behind France.

The mother of all democracies is under threat

October 22nd, 2020 No comments

In these days with great insecurity in France, this is the time to remember, what France really is. The traditions, the virtues and France is the product of.

This is to say, that France is the heir to the democratic/humanistic traditions of the enlightenment era.

These are the true values that are under threat these days, by people beheading teachers in the middle of the day.

We must admit, that the terrorism, and the islamism of moderne France is the enemy of the Platonic republic, and act accordingly.

G-d bless the mother of all democracies; the nation of France.

I hereby support Samuel Paty

October 20th, 2020 No comments

It is with grave worry, that I hear about the islamist attack on a teacher in France. Seriously, a teacher?

A person dedicated to bring light to the minds of students, a person well known for culture and knowledge.

So a person kills such a person. That is, next after killing a priest or any other holy man, a grave thing to do.

So what did the poor man do?

He showed the image of Mohammad.

Ok, I get it, it is sacrilege, I do not like people doing bad things to Moses or in any way show a lack of respect to Moses. To me Moses is a very wise and indeed almost perfect person.

But would I invite the idea to kill someone because they would show a lack of respect towards Moses?

No way, it is their idea, and I truly believe, that such an act as to take the life of a teacher is a very bad thing indeed.

It shows the dark side of Islam. I faith that has many qualities, but also, in some areas, have some dark spots.

We must admit that.

This does not mean, that all muslims are evil. Not at all, but it has a bad rep. towards our democratic institutions, and the will to speak freely.

G-d bless Voltaire, the founder of free speech in modern times, and his teacher Socrates.

Disease

October 7th, 2020 No comments

When you are sick, you usually deteoriate. Your physical functions are simply not working that well.

I remember when I got sick, seriously, the first time. It was just after the dot coooom boom. I was working as a project leader in various IT companies, and consequently fell when the industry fell. That was a pretty hard stop.

What happened was, that I got fired a couple of times, as the IT world collapsed. At the end of those strings of firing, I got really, really sick.

I had hit my head on a wall, and suffered a severed head trauma, a brain damage that just didn’t want to go away.

It stayed like that for a couple of years, still is with me to this day.

For a year I was home on my couch, looking up in the ceiling. I couldn’t really do anything but look up in ceiling, because my brain was so damaged, that it couldn’t work with any input. I couldn’t read, I couldn’t watch television. The only thing I could do, was to listen to classical radio. I found a German classical radio, that I really loved. I can still hear the jingles; “wir Lieben classical, wir Lieben, wir Lieben….”.

After a year I slowly recovered, and now twenty years after, there is no more, or very little left of the disease.

While I was so sick, I ran into other people that had the same disease. You somehow end up in a community that has the same problems as you have.

Most of them today have miserable lives, still sick, more or less. Some more, some less. That is the way this disease work.

So, what did I do to get over my disease?

I went down on my knees, and I started praying. I prayed hard and long, putting all of my devastated heart into that prayer. I knew, that this was it, either I started getting better, or I was done for.

You know, it kind of worked. After the prayer that I really put all of my soul and everything of me in, I got new ideas on how to work on the disease, and these new ideas really worked.

Basically my brain needed calm and quiet. I gave it that, by meditating.

I meditated for hours and days, just to give my brain a break from the constant barrage of stress and thought.

After some years, I became a new and wiser man.

I still miss the carelessness of my youth, not having to care about anything. But I also do recognise, that my brush with death, and my ability to claw myself out of the hole, is a natural part of growing up and becoming mature.

That is life, you look death in the eyes, and you find your faith in that moment.

So this is it, at least, to my experience. If you are sick, start praying, and go down your knees. Maybe, just maybe, you end up a better man or woman, and start caring for what this is all about; being that honest, sympathetic and true person, that tries his best to make a difference.

You may also really become stronger, and wiser.

It is all about one thing; faith.

G-d bless the will to be strong in the face of this awful disease that has struck us all, and G-d bless all those who are living through the hell of being sick. I know how it feels, but it will get better.

Building british

October 3rd, 2020 No comments

Now, this Corona hysteria has to be winded down. Ok, don’t get me wrong, it is horrible, and I really do feel with mr. Trump and his wife Melanie, I really, really hope that they will get well fast.

But after that, we need to do other things than just focus on Corona. We still have countries to run, economies to make greater and many other things.

Corona has to be handled at the same time as we are handling other business as well. The world goes on.

This leads me to the UK. Before Corona, we were working on the redemption of the empire, and the rebuilding of the economy. Add to this the process of redefining the british spirit.

We have to get on with this.

This is how we do it.

We simply make a deal with the EU that is fair, and gives both parties a good deal. No negative outcome for anyone. Everybody are interested in getting on with our lives, so we should do that.

At the same time, lets take a clue from our American allies, and start building british again.

Put those proud words of Made in England on our wares, and start exporting again.

These two issues are pretty straightforward, and should be possible to do while we care about Corona.

Corona has somehow become the new normal, we have to work around that, and get back to business.

I know it is a lot to ask, but be as it may, the world still carries on.

G-d bless the United Kingdom.

Concerning EU politics towards the close vicinity of EU, that is the Middle East. To me, we have to get on from a 68 flower power understanding of the issues.

In the 68 Palestine was the victim of Jewish brutality. But today political winds have changed, and we have to change our understanding accordingly.

The greatest threat to Europe in general is Turkey. While as Egypt has been a stalwart ally in the region, and we have good ties to Iran, Turkey still seem to ride the Islamist bandwaggon.

We have to be realistic with this, and see Turkey for what it is; it is an enemy. It has threatened Greece, and uses its leverage in Europe to get more guns.

What will happen if a nation gets more guns?

It will use the guns to get power.

So to me, we have to be realistic with the political forces that drives the development of our neighbours.

If not, we will just create more havoc and problems.

To have peace, you need to be ready for a fight.

Because realistic force behind a political process is what drives the process.

Arms are not necessarily meant to be used, but if you do not have any arms, you are sure to be having a fight, because you are seen as weak.

Strength is a detterent not a thing that should be used unless really needed.

We need to have more physical strength, to find peace. As the Romans used to say; Si vis pacem, para bellum.

If you want peace, you need to be ready for a fight.

Maybe it is time to learn that lesson again, that Scipio Africanus tought the Romans at the Phoenician wars.

We need to build our strength in order to make peace with our enemies.

G-d bless the roman way of doing things.

Change

September 27th, 2020 No comments

I believe, that truth to be told, we have come a long way with the US. When Barack and I kind of started having influence on the US. We were almost bankrupt, jobs were going to overseas, and the dollar was really in danger of collapsing.

If the economy collapses, the entire system collapses.

Be as it may, we have seen a lot of development under mr. Trump. Especially in the fire power of the US, and also in sweeping up some of the darker sites of the American system.

These developments will most probably save the US in the long run.

I know, that people hate Trump, and see the Black Lives Matter as some kind of revelation.

But to me, these things are essentially superficial things.

What matters, really, is what the deeper structures of society develops into.

We see, that the STRUCTURES of the US are going in the right direction these days.

Economy is getting better, the system is healing in a way.

Ten to twenty years from now, I hope we will look back at these times, and see that the Change that Barack and I did was a true turning point.

Because when we look at the essence of the American project, that is making a Democracy. I truly believe, that we have saved it.

The problem of a democracy is, when it gets morally corrupted. We are getting LESS morally corrupted, not more these days.

I know, that the police is slowly getting pressured, but I also believe, that at the end of the day, NOT having police does not make sense to anyone.

So, the true outcome of all the discussion and so on with regards to BLM, will not be, that anything devastating changed, it just made people have a lot more focus on these issues.

Point being, that what we need to do now, is just more of the same.

Make more jobs, by taking them back from China, support a democracy for the little man, not the powerful. Make a business environment, that truly makes it possible to attract all those brilliant minds to invent and create new products.

All in all, we are actually saved.

And that is a big win in my book.

G-d bless the United States of America.

We need the healing to start

September 14th, 2020 No comments

Joe and Kamala, this time you need to stop fretting, get your clothes, put on your best hat, and start getting out there on the campaign trail. I know, that it can seem a little daring in these times with Corona and everything. But the fact of the matter is, you are not going to win, unless people know what you are standing for, and that you are actually there to tell them.

I think, that talking to the American worker should not be a problem. I mean, who is REALLY hit by the corona crisis? It is the worker who is laid off, and is in danger of loosing his livelihood permanently.

We need to think about a plan to save him. A good plan is to make sure, that all the manufacture, that is now leaving China, and is going to some other low-cost labour countries gets back to Detroit.

We need the motor city up and running again, and it is not going to happen, unless there are cars built in that wonderful old city.

When the engine is running, then the car can get in gear and start driving.

That is pretty obvious.

So getting manufacture to stop the senseless depleting of American manufacture should point to a possible future for not only those laid off of jobs, but also a path out of the corona nightmare we are in.

Show the public that you are ready to take on this challenge and stop the bleeding of American jobs to the pacific region.

Then Kamala. You are a g-d given gift to the health of American way of live. A person of color, that has done a good job of making your own way.

It is your job, to try and reach out to the parts of the US that feels disenfranchised and left behind, because they are not into the mainstream protestant view of things.

It is your job, to make everyone see, that it is possible to live side by side in a humanistic society. A healer not a divider.

That is truly an incredibly difficult task. You need to reach out to so many little corners of the US.

Here, there, everywhere. But people need to experience the healing process started.

Need to see, that there are people in power, who listens to their plight and difficult living conditions.

By this, we can, slowly, get the ship sailing on a straight keel again.

Because right now, we are taking in water, and people are desperate.

We need to sail straight, and have a clear direction towards what people are truly fighting for; that dream, that everybody are equal based on equal rights in a place called the United States of America.

G-d bless the United States of America, and may it prevail.

Unity

September 7th, 2020 No comments

There is a campaign and an election coming up. I hereby support and give my thanks to Kamala Harris. I believe she will be an exceptional VP for the US.

But we should be honest about the challenges we have with the grassroots of the Democratic political life.

It is going down a very destructive path.

Do we really want to defund the police and make anarchistic og black american areas with a system that is not founded in the republic of the USA?

Seriously?

I believe, that the constitution is a platfom we should all stand on, and make common ground.

So to me, the upcoming election is about unity and the ability to reach across the aisle to connect with the people we may not be in agreement with 100%, but are fellow Americans.

The succes of the US, is based on the fact that protestantism and Martin Luther paved a way for us, that we could travel on to reach a good and sound life.

A life of happiness and security, yes a life of hard work and putting a dime away each month to save for a rainy day.

But nonetheless a simple and good life.

We should not forget that in these days. If we want to progress and make a better world, we need to understand each other and reconcile not go into conflict.

We live as servants to spirit. If we forget that, we risk creating a world that is full of trouble and destruction.

Maybe it is time to unite not fight all the time.

Maybe it is time to remember that the US is a bastion of humanism and enlightenment, not a place of destruction and adversity. But a place of unity

G-d bless the United States of America.

Lebanon

August 29th, 2020 No comments

In Israel we have had a good succes with connecting to the Arabs. Off cause Arabs and Jews are very close in terms of lineage, and we look very much like each other. So the jump between Jews and Arabs is not difficult to take.

But the next possible ally that has emerged is the Lebanese. As I have written in the last posting, Lebanese are not Arabs, they are essentially Phoenicians.

They know it themselves, but due to a history of secrecy, they do not share this identity with anyone. Not that anyone would really know what to do about the information these days, but old habits die hard.

To understand the way of the Lebanese, one needs to understand what they are coming from spiritually. Spiritually the Lebanese are the ones who brought all the softness in the world, or rather was the people that always traded and never went to war.

Their deity Aphrodite, is, according to my sources, the closest you get to grasp the basic identity of the Lebanese.

That is born from the foam of the waves, beautiful, merciful and close to nature.

All beauty and benevolence.

This is the neighbour we have, if we chose to try and really understand the Lebanese.

Not very long ago, this was expressed in the Paris of the Middle East, with long alleys of green trees and a lot of peace.

If we, from an israeli point of view, try to support the basic feeling and culture of the Lebanese, by being good and supportive neighbours, then we can help the Lebanese find themselves again, and thus win a good neighbour.

Who knows, perhaps we can even be friends with the Lebanese in these difficult hours of the Lebanese, and their terrible struggle with crime, chaos and bombs going off.

That is painful for the valiant and great Phoenicians living next door to Israel.

We as good neighbours and friends from the last time we were in the vicinity can perhaps be a good friend and a spiritual ally.

We share the urge for peace with the Lebanese, perhaps that is a good embarking point with a shared friendship across borders.

G-d bless the will to fiend peace with the amazing and ancient people living next door to Israel. May we find peace.

Lebanon

August 24th, 2020 No comments

Congratulations with the budding peace offer from the Lebanese.

To understand the profoundness of this move, you have to see it in a historical perspective.

We have been friends before, and we can be friends again, if we see the shared destiny and ideology between Israel and Lebanon.

But to that, we need to understand what Lebanon really is.

What is Lebanon?

Lebanon is the heir to the trading empire of the Phoenicians, that seems to have vanished in the fall of Karthage.

You know the story about Hannibal, the fight with amazing war elephants and the ultimate downfall of Carthagenian empire and the Punes (Phoenicians).

While as the sister culture of the Karthagenian Phoenicians disappeared in the west, Lebanon went under the radar, and has kept its ideology and culture more or less intact ever since. The symbol of the cedar tree that is in the flag of Lebanon is the cultural symbol of the trading Phoenicians. They started trade with cedar trees, that they shipped of to Egypt and other places. It is good building material.

Now historically we Jews have learned a lot from the wise Phoenicians, not least the idea of the Kabbalistic tree of life, that was the main idea of the Phoenicians. You can see it in the construction of the first temple of Israel, that was a copy of the temple of Tyre, the main temple of the Phoenicians.

There is a symbolic representation of the the pillars of mercy and severity of the two pillars that were in front of the first temple. It was built by Solomon with the help of Lebanese, a guy called Hikmet.

We were allies with the Lebanese at the time of the construction of the first temple, they even tought us trade, something we have kept holding on to since that time, and have developed a lot.

In other words, when we were in Israel the first time, we were friends so what will hinder us from being friends again?

I know, that this comes at a time, where Hezbollah have kind of overstayed their welcome, due to the fact, that they have not been the best at keeping their bombs under wraps.

So, maybe it is time for Israel to become friends with the Lebanese again, sharing a destiny as we did the first time.

Don’t underestimate the Lebanese, they are an ancient and wise civilization. We have learned from them before, and therefor we can say, that we have no arrogance towards them, they are ancients friends lets hope they can be friends again.

G-d bless the will of spirit in the pursuit of peace in the Middle East.

Good choice mr. Biden

August 13th, 2020 No comments

You can say a lot about mr. Biden, but one thing is certain, he makes good choices. I really and truly believe, that the choice of Kamala Harris is an informed and well balanced attempt at trying to merge the different factions of the Democratic party.

The one faction is the multicultural, Frankfurterschool marxism of Adorno and the other jewish marxists that went from Germany in flight of the Nazis.

The other faction is the neo conservative faction that I represent. That is essentially a Hegelian, marxist school that combines Marx, Hegel and off cause some of the work, that I have humbly done.

So these two factions, that fight internally in the Democratic party has become one in the choice of ms. Harris.

Now, having made a philosophical trend, does not make me arrogant. I understand and respect others point of view. I am for Change and Hope, but multiculturalism has its pros and cons.

I truly hope, that the choice of ms. Harris will propel the democratic party to a new level of development.

Dont forget the American Revolution, that is, until now, the best revolution there was. It still needs the sacrifice of the heroes to live. But at the other hand, reaching out and compromise is also important, because after all, most conflicts are simply misunderstandings. Lets put these misunderstandings behind us, and find each other again. Finding unity.

G-d bless the American Revolution and its children to march forward, to reach the promised land.

Humanity

August 11th, 2020 No comments

Differentiating between “black” culture and “white” culture does not make much sense to me.

There is civilisation, and it has nothing to do with the color of your skin.

Civilisation is, essentially, a Mesopotamian and Egyptian set of principles that were developed 3000 years ago in the classical Mediterranean time.

The most common source to this time is the bible, that tells us about the stories of old; Noah, David, Moses, Job, Abraham.

A source to the ideas of the fertile crescent at its time of glory.

These ideas, that actually propel humanity forward to a much better place, that is the dreams of paradise and Eden, is the heritage of all man. A guide to a life here on earth we can reach if we work hard enough. It is salvation.

I know and understand, that you may have differences in culture and the way you look, but the end goal is the same regardless of where we come from as human beings.

So perhaps unity is a much better goal to strive for, than all the conflict and frustration that has come with the Corona virus.

I get it, it is truly frustrating and the world seems to be upside down, but at the end of the day, life is reachable as a life worth living here on earth, if we truly listen to the ancients that were, actually, most of them people of color.

G-d bless the will to do good, have good thoughts, and good actions. G-d bless the peace we may obtain, if we truly will.

My own two hands

August 8th, 2020 No comments

Making a life for yourself is not easy. I talk from my own experience. Blaming others for your own misfortune will not bring you any relief. I talk of my own experience here also. I mean, I have been in the keen eye of the government for quite some time now, been deplatformed and otherwise have had a really tough time.

But, be as it may, somehow, praise spirit, I have prevailed, and therefor my own experience is. That if you work hard, stay on the right side of the law, and struggle to foster a nice family, you can actually make a good life for yourself.

That is the wisdom of Luther, that hard work, dedication and a strong commitment to your fellowman CAN give you a good life.

Victimhood, that some people seeks to give people as me, who are not white, will not bring me any good. But honest work, and a dedication to my family will.

I think, that perhaps, that that is an important lesson to share in these times where we are pointing fingers at everybody all the time. Your fault! Is the first thing seems to be saying these days.

Maybe everything is not everybody else’s fault? Maybe you yourself is responsible for your own life?

My experience is, that maybe I could blame people around me, and to be honest, there have been times, when I have done so. Pointing fingers, being angry at people around me.

But my own happiness will not be ensured by pointing fingers, it rests, solely in my own two hands.

My hands CAN build a future for myself. But it requires dedication, self-sacrifice and a huge heart for my fellowman.

In other words, being responsible for ones own life, is what it is about. Blaming others won’t get you anywhere, but supporting your community and family will actually get you somewhere.

When I look at my two kids, they inspire me, and keeps me on the right track. Because they are so dependent on me. I can’t go around putting them in harms way, that will wreck their lives.

So maybe its time to do some serious soul-searching. Who is to blame? Everybody else, or you own actions.

We CAN build a good society and make unity, if we try, but it requires self-sacrifice, hard work and dedication.

G-d bless the peace we CAN find, if we are strong enough.

Si vis pacem, para bellum

August 5th, 2020 No comments

There is a good, solid conflict brewing in the West. The conflict between China and the US including mainly Anglo Saxon allies. That is the empire.

This conflict has its ups and down, the main up is the character of the conflict. It is totally unbloody. It is a new form of cold war, that we still have not really wrapped our heads around.

The arms race of cyberwar.

What is cyberwar? Cyberwar is essentially hacking gone crazy. Where hacking in the old world, before it was truly weaponised, was annoying the feds as small kids, and stealing secrets like Wikipedia, these days it is government controlled attacks on infrastructure and weapons.

You can, if you are really, really good, control a hangarship.

We have seen the potential of cyberwar in Israels complete wrecking of Iran and in Chinas small, but truly effective wrecking of Australia.

So, it is a new way of fighting, it favours those with the best computerskills and the best computers.

And guess who is leading the fray in this area, no you guessed wrong, it is not the US, it is China.

China is the best, not only a little, but they are in their own league.

Catching up to them, is what NATO and the Anglo-Saxons security measures is all about.

How do we do that?

We do it by looking at it as it is; it is a weapons race. As in the cold war with the Russians, it is not bombs we are racing to beat the chinese with, it is cyber machinery.

Where the competition in the old times were atomic warheads, these days it is the sheer power of quantum computing, hacking skills and so on.

In other words a job for Microsoft and mr. Bill Gates.

Put him in charge of this fight, if he wants, and you will see some real progress.

The thing is, it is complicated. You can’t just make more bombs, you need to make bigger computers, invest in security, manpower and so on. All this has to be integrated into all kinds of things.

So you need an expert to fight this fight, here mr. Gates is THE best choice to my mind. He loves his country, and he is a good guy.

He can do it. So put him on the task, with immense respect to his contribution to the world off cause. It is not an order or something of that kind, but a very, very kind request to help the US.

Otherwise the US, is in harms way a few years from now, and a good, solid, sympathetic fighter like Gates is the best bet to my mind, if he wants. Maybe he can recommend someone, if he is not interested in the job.

But, this time around it is not atomic warheads we need to worry about but hacking ability and capacity.

So lets build some serious hardware with that wonderful stamp on it; Made in America.

G-d bless the will to make peace if possible, but prepare for the worst. Si vis pacem, para bellum.

Change, what is that?

Listen guys, you have two choices, either you follow the tenants of Karl Marx, or you follow the tenants that I have made in the consecutive development of socialism.

Please let me try and explain.

Karl Marx tried to envision a society that was the opposite of the ideas that the philosopher Hegel envisioned. Hegel was one of the founding fathers of German nationalism (before Hitler).

In Hegels vision, the nation is a spiritually driven idea or perspective that would lead people to enligthentment. You still are very strong in this regard in the US; G-d bless America is a Hegelian idea.

Marx wanted to Change the ideas, and he did, but we need to realise, that he had some progress, but some of the ideas he made were not good. Among them the defection of the nation state.

Believing in your country is not a bad thing, it is a good thing.

Globalism has showed us, that no borders make a huge mess. We have seen it, not least in the EU, that is, honestly a huge mess.

There are some theoretical ideas to explain this. I have discussed it in the light of the ancient ideas of the city state of Sparta, that was Marx ideal state. Lycurgus, the philosophical founder of Sparta was quite clear about how to make a commune. It has to be closed, hermetically closed.

In my view, this is where Marx makes his worst mistake. He has this idea, that workers can unite all over the world. That is a good idea, but to be realistic, each unit has to be closed in order for each commune to work. At least this is the idea of Lycurgus, and he made a system that worked for 700 years, dig that.

In other words, the logical development of socialism is to go back to Hegel for the spiritually enlightened nation, fixing the flaw of the Marxist idea, and making a system that actually work.

Add to this a reenacting of the family as the basic commune, and there you have an immensely strong political system.

Still we need to keep all the ideas and lore of the French revolution to my mind, these ideas were really good; enlightenment of the press, democracy and that city at the top of the hill.

Understanding these ideas and visions, that is the basis of Change is really important I think. Not only to save America, that is in dire straits, but also to save liberalism as such.

We are in a corner, with our back against the wall, therefor we need Change.

G-d bless the United States of America.

Thank you for your friendship

Welcome mr. Pompeo, foreign secretary, visiting Denmark for the first time.

To me, that is a beautiful sign of cooperation between Denmark and the US.

Here is why; essentially we are family. I have thought quite a bit about my own engagement with the US, how I have tried to help, support and be a good ally.

But it goes deeper, a lot of the Nielsens, Rasmussens, and Olsen that live in the US now, used to be Danes.

So they have become Americans, and that is perfectly ok. But it still bears to the fact, that we share common roots.

Just take Disney, that seems to be the next successor after Hans Christian Andersen. The film Frost that has just been such a mega success, was inspired by a fairytale of H.C. Andersen.

But it goes deeper, a lot of the Frontier wagons that settled in the west were driven by Danish farmers. They must still be out there somewhere singing lonesome tunes of a land long forgotten. Little buckaroo and all that.

But at the heart of our relationship lies a common ancestry as well as a common religion.

As you are Protestants, so are we (to be honest, I am a Jew, but I still love the Protestant ideas that is here in Denmark, so I convey them). This gives you guys an opportunity to be inspired by ancient Danish Protestant thinkers like Loegstrup and Grundtvig.

These thinkers are of a exceptional quality, some of the ideas have already become mainstream through Niels Bohr, that was a good friend of Loegstrup. Like open source and all these values that fuel the computer industry, the way he worked that gave us the Google and Facebook work ethics of open, free working and so on.

But these ideas are a part of Danish development, and a lot of them have not really been introduced to the Americans. They are in a sense apocryphal, because you need to be in the know to have access to them.

Like the ideas about trust, that Loegstrup also worked on.

But at the other hand, you must realize, that even though we are the source of a lot of American culture, we still admire many the amazing achievement you have done. Not least the ideas that led to the non violence development that gave us Martin Luther King and Mahatma Ghandi. Beacons of humanism and enlightenment.

We also love the way you have made the countryside of the US so full of beautiful places and so rich in culture. We like the cowboys here in Denmark, and off cause respect people of color in all variations.

As time progresses and we develop our civilization, hopefully this rich friendship will continue to bring new and better people and development that will hopefully make a better world for both Denmark as well as the US.

We love you guys, and we hope that the feelings are the same at the other side of the pond.

We are so proud of you.

G-d bless the will to be honest in thought, and brave in action to be the makers of a better world. G-d bless the United States of America, and may it always prevail.

Slander

Currently I read a less known classic, a ‘founding father’ of caricature and the poking of fun against the high minded. A sport that started in the Ancient Greece with a lot of cool and funny writers, and was continued in Rome.

The guy is called Lucian, and he is cool to say the least. He is honest, funny and deep.

He has this tirade against power, that I really like, and it goes to the core of what enlightenment is in the civilized world.

He takes off from a funny place compared to modern days. He discusses slander. How slander can be weaponized and used to degrade and destroy otherwise wonderful people of achievement.

He says, that slander is the tool of the less accomplished, those who only do things sloppily and without much skill.

He points to the fact, that slander is evil in its core, and abuses power by secretly inflaming peoples thirst for revenge and hatred.

He has this example of people who are kind, strong and wise, and how they meet the world with openness, just to meet the hatred of others.

Thereby giving a win to the slanderer.

We live in this world, where we are constantly slandering other people. Not believing them, and trying to figure out the motives we believe they have, but they do not have.

What is the remedy?

The light, enlightenment, to speak the truth.

Often this is forgotten these days, as we delve into bipartisanship and name calling.

We should not, but have the guts and ethical strength to look at things without prejudging.

Now that is the path to less popularity, that is the fact of it. Me myself, I am still deplatformed, my network is slowly rebuilding after years of government destruction and vilification. So I know the price, perhaps better than most.

But at the core of ethical principles, this is the first amendment and therefor also the basis upon which we need to stand.

The Statue of Liberty tells that story, that in order to be free, you need to be truthful therefor the importance of free speech.

G-d bless the will to find truth in what we do and say.

Categories: Politics Tags:

The light

Seriously New York Times, firing a journalist, because she did not conform with Black Lives Matter identity politics. Here in Denmark we are still in chock over the act.

Listen, New York Times is supposed to be, like my own family’s conservative newspaper Berlingske Tidende, a beacon of light.

What is that, and how are we supposed to interpret that.

Let us have an honest look at it.

Brandes a strong humanist and the founder of Politiken, the leading humanist newspaper of Denmark, called Politiken; an organ of the highest enlightenment.

Enlightenment being the keyword here.

What is enlightenment?

Enlightenment is, ideally, to spread truth, wherever truth is supposed to be. Thereby fighting darkness, or lies and deceit.

Since lies and deceit are the basis of evil. Being a lightbringer is a fight for a better world.

There it is. That is the basic point of the Statue of Liberty, that all the masses of poor people met when they came to Ellis Island.

You are a reflection of that.

So, off cause this is your own choice, but seen from the outside, as a humanist, leaving that mission, is a very sad thing.

It is the core of a humanistic, Democratic state.

G-d bless the will to continue the fight for the light against the darkness.

Moral corruption

Now, listen. I want to tell you a secret, that took me quite a long time to glean from history. You probably know this secret, and many of my readers are already following the basic principles of it, unknowing what it really is.

But knowledge is power in your life.

So here it comes.

We talk about paradise, right? The American dream is essentially to recreate paradise here on earth. A place, where people are happy, and there is an end to all problems. A place where kids are getting wiser than yourself, and you have hope.

This place is a mythical place, somewhere we do not really understand the reality of, and therefor do not take that serious.

That is a mistake, it was a place called Eden or Eridu, the first city.

See? The idea of a society that makes people happy and content, is a story in the bible, but the secret is, that it is the first city of civilisation that man made.

So the process of recreating paradise is a POLITICAL process. Something we can do here on earth, right now, if we choose to.

That is the secret.

But then again, how do we go about doing that? Again, it is really quite simple, bible tells us some of the ideas, and we have to look in a few other places to know the rest, mainly greek philosophy to understand how it all works.

At a personal level, it is not about blaming others, it is about you yourself getting your family to work.

These days the families suffer, due to the inability of the man of the family to strap up and take responsibility.

Men wants bling and easy fun. That destroys the family, and kids pay.

That is the truth right there.

WE as men, have to put ourselves to the grindstone and start working. Not for ourselves, but for our kids.

That is, we need to sacrifice ourselves, to make a frame around those we love.

Women are difficult, and sometimes impossible to live with, but it is OUR responsibility to be a man, man up, and start that hard work it is, to be a good father.

That is a start.

The next level, the level of society, is, firstly, to be a part of a good community.

A good community, is a community, where things are run efficiently and according to strict rules of acceptance of each other.

This is where understanding, and acceptance comes into play.

But also the ability to help those who have less.

Community will only work, if we work together, if we share goals and do not fight over scraps.

Thirdly there is the city itself. Here we have the law, framed around a system called a Republic. That is a division of Power in three. Legislative, judges and the police.

Each, ideally, holding each arm responsible for not abusing power.

We also ideally, have the press to make a place where these things can be criticised openly without the fear of the government.

Add to the education and science plus a healthy military.

And a sound banking system.

That is the face of a Republic, and handled right, it gives people a shot at the American dream.

Loosing that is the stupidest, most heartbreaking thing. Because it would mean, that our kids would live in a world, that is not happy and they cannot dream of a brighter future.

So instead of tearing down the construct that our ancestors, black and white have fought so vigourosly to make, we should look at the places where the PRINCIPLES of the Republic is lost and things have corrupted. Because that is the true problem right now. Not just economic corruption, but more importantly, MORAL corruption, and start fixing that.

Make police be just, media be free, families be loving again.

Then, just then, do we have a shot at making a frame around our kids, that is sound.

But right now, the good man is isolated, and every body is pointing fingers at each other. No reconciliation.

We need to step down, and look at each other again, and stop the blame game. Put our noses to the grindstone again, and start that impossibly hard work it is to make a dream come trough.

But seeing your kids being happy, that is all it is about.

Remember that, and we do have a shot at fixing these things.

G-d bless the dream of a country called United States of America.

Rebuild and reconstruct

Now, there seems to be some kind of initiation of “progressive” communities in the US.

Let me be clear about one thing, if you do not understand the basic principles of how to make a society, there are some pretty awful pitfalls here and there.

Let me explain the basic buildingblocks of society, to perhaps help these new initiaries.

In the wild, where tribalism and the natural tendencies of man rule. There is no justice, only the rule of the strong.

The one with the biggest gun or largest coterie of strong men rule.

That is actually how international politic work, the rule of the strong.

Now, Marxism preaches, that in order to make a “just” society, you need to abolish law, defund the police and so on. This is an idea he came up with in one of his books, so we have anarchists and free societies.

Karl Marx, a Jew of, most probably, my own family. Trier, my surname, is where he grew up, my Jewish family comes from there and so on, he had some good ideas and bad ideas.

One of them, to my mind is to envision anarchy as the end result of his development. Why? Because he did not have acces to texts of Hammurabi the founder of law.

If he had had that, he would know, combined with reading Plato, that law is there to put down the rule of the strong, and protect the weak.

Ideally the police is the MOST important protector of the weak, thereby ruling out the rule of the strong.

See?

Law is, if it really work, a protection for the little guy.

So by taking that element out of the equation, he effectively reenabled the rule of the strong.

So the basic building block of society has been, since Hammurabi, the rule of law.

It is, essentially what makes us civilised.

On top of that you can have a feudal system, democracy, Marxism whatever you want. But taking away the basis will just plunge society into chaos, and out of chaos the warlord will emerge. Usually it is some kind of ganglord.

We don’t want criminals to run our society. That will only bring down the society for real.

So, where does that lead to?

It leads to the fact, that what we want now, is not the abolishment of these institutions, but renew them, bring back service, justice and freedom.

But do it a way, that it has no stench of racism, in any direction.

Law can be corrupted, as it is usually is these days. The law enforcement do not hold up justice as an ideal, but abuse their power to “control” the populace. That is simply to stop too much trouble.

But there are good cups here and there also.

That is the messy world we have. No-one is perfect, but the rules stay the same.

Getting rid of the corruption is what it is about, not defunding or destroying, but rebuilding in a better and less corrupt version.

G-d bless the United States of America.

The fall of manmade civilisation?

Ok, here is an idea.

The main problem in the US for now, is the lack of knowledge on how to appreciate the American Dream.

Everybody wants it, and everybody strives for it, but how do we attain it?

Here is the explanation, that might shed some light on the path forward.

First of all, if you are Republican or Democrat, there really is no discussion on how to attain the goal of making the American Dream available to everybody.

How is that even possible?

Well, you see, Western civilisation is not really Western very much, it is essentially Middle Eastern.

The rule of law is Mesopotamian, Humanism is Egyptian. Only Democracy is an essential northern European construct, but even Democracy derives partly from Athens, the great beacon of Democracy.

So where does this lead to?

Well, civilisation is a product of a number of principles; the division of power, the rule of law, religion and humanism.

These sets of institution create the frame around each citizen, making civilisation and the American dream possible.

When each citizen creates something, he contributes to the motor of civilisation.

So, all kinds of wacko anarchistic systems does not attain anything, it only picks out different building blocks out of the wall, and inhibits civilisation.

What is my point?

Well it is pretty obvious, somehow we need to agree on all these ideas we have inherited from the Middle East.

So instead of seeing Western civilisation as something mournful and bad, please let us see it for what it is; it is a gift from the Middle East, and hence has absolutely nothing to do with white privilige or supremacy.

It is simply the best ways man has been able to come up with to steer ourselves away from tribalism and rule of the strong.

That is really what is at stake these days; civilisation itself.

G-d bless the civilisation we can protect if we are strong enough.

Peace

Listen, I know, that the crisis of the Coronavirus kind of took off, and made people mad at each other.

Especially those who see themselves as black are mad.

But that is not an excuse for killing innocent old people in a private owned garden.

As there are racists and bigots in the white camp, that fact of the matter is, that it goes both ways.

You cannot as a black person reduce your behavior to a justified rebellion to kill all white people.

It is inhuman.

At the other side, killing blacks is ALSO inhuman.

There are trends within the white community that is evil, but it is also the same in the black.

Truth is, that in Zimbabwe and South Africa, whites are at the bottom of the latter.

If we are to live together, what is important, is to recognize the other person in your community as someone equal.

We are all born and cared by spirit. Spirit does not care whether you have brown or white skin. What he cares, is your actions as a person.

Do you forgive, or do you do acts of evil?

That is what it is about; your personal responsibility as a person.

Maybe it is time to stop demanding so much, and start giving a little something.

Recognizing that other person, not as a person of color, whatever the way that is, but as a true person.

Someone you can relate to, understand and respect.

G-d bless the United States of America, and may it remain whole.

Law and anarchy

When you are young and angry, you want to Change the society NOW. Not tomorrow, not the day after, but now.

Be as it may, the direction of that Change, if it is to work has to be discussed and planned by people who are in the know.

Take the French and American revolution, that gave us Democracy and slave abolishment. This was inspired by some pretty heavy thinkers; Voltaire, Rousseau and a few others. Let me be clear about these eggheads, they were not young and brash, but mature and rebellious. They KNEW. Voltaire was a Platonist.

This was why the French and American revolution worked in the first place.

Now, there have been a lot of revolutions that kind of had the opposite effect. Take Venezuela, that is built of good ideas, that is good ideas on the surface. But these ideas are pretty shallow when it comes to the day to day work.

You cannot both make a huge state owned society, and expect people to work hard. Not unless you make a strong incentive like an ethical, moral case as the Spartans.

These things have to go hand in hand.

If not, the society crumbles.

Now, it may seem like a good idea to bring down the police and make an anarchistic society without the police. But the fact of the matter is, that without laws what you fall back on will be the rule of the strong.

You have to understand, that rule by law is a containment of the rule of the strong. The rule of the strong is the NATURAL rule. That is what happens in nature. Here the strong rule, by preying on the weak.

Law is made to PROTECT the weak. Thereby create a better and more lasting civilization.

It goes all the way back to Hammurabi, the Babylonian king and founder of law.

You can build an anarchistic society, IF you create an unbreakable allegiance to LAW.

Thereby ruling yourself.

That is the point of Marx.

Just skipping the step where people are brought to this higher level is, will all end up in tyranny.

You know, I am sorry, I wish it was otherwise, and nothing seems to change right now.

But don’t worry, we will change things from within.

Make the necessary educational reforms of the police, so that it gets closer to what it is supposed to do; serve and protect ALL citizens.

Thereby creating an equal footing for all, with no regards to skin color.

I have two daughters one is considered at brown girl, the other a white girl, judging on their skin. Both are my own flesh and blood.

You would wish a society for them, where they can both grow up to be a part of society, not judged by their skin.

G-d bless the United States of America.

Happiness

If you do not understand the basis of socialism, you will not create a better society, but a worse society. Just going bananas trying to enforce ideas, that in the past have not worked, will not get socialdemocratism anywhere, it will only lead to tyranny.

Tyranny being the state of society that is the effect of a system that does not work, and therefor tries to enforce its rule on people.

You can only have freedom, if you have a system that will give people that freedom. To make a system that gives people freedom, you need to have good, solid rules to go by. Like justice, freedom, equality.

To make this, you need to understand the ideas that rule any kind of society, otherwise what is the aim of the revolution anyway?

One of the ideas, that people seem to have forgotten and is pretty vital to socialism is progressive tax.

It is an idea, that Democritus, the ancient philosopher made, and it aims at creating equality in society.

So, what is the effect of equality? According to Democritus it is happiness.

Happiness is the aim of any society.

That is the path we need to find, the path to happiness. Not the path to destruction and misery.

G-d bless the will of finding a good way.

Law

We are going in the wrong direction with the Black Lives matter demonstration when it comes to the solutions we find.

I get it, the police does not protect or respect black people in many places. I get that, but defunding them will not solve the problem.

Police is a VERY important part of society.

Let me explain.

Socialism is a reflection of the greek city-state Sparta. Karl Marx was very infatuated with the iconic ancient city.

Communism is a reflection of Sparta.

Now, as we all know, communism has never been a good idea, and is opposed to Democracy, that is the creed and idea of the US.

But there are many socialists in the US also.

So how do socialist play a positive role in a democratic society.

They do it, by helping the disenfranchised and poor, those in need, right?

How do they do that?

They do it by law, at least that was how the Spartans did it.

Law is there to protect the weak against the strong.

You get a good story about this mechanism in George Orwells animal farm. What happened to all the ideals of the animals when realizing the Bolshevik revolution? It ended up in a dictatorship.

Why? Because there were no real mechanisms to realise the ideals.

How did the Spartans realise their ideals? They did it with an almost fanatic allegiance to law, equality; equality beyond the law. Social justice; let the law protect the weak.

See, law is the only tool, that will realise the ideals of socialism.

Now, I get it, if we do not have any influence on the law, it can be the opposite.

But no law, will only get us comrade Napoleon, and that is worse.

We need a new understanding of law, make sure, that law truly serves the weak and not the strong, has no colour blindness, and is above all citizens.

In this way, we can actually make a better society not a worse one.

Right now we are tearing down, not building anything, and that is a dangerous path to walk.

Tyranny awaits us at the end of that path, we have to be realistic about that.

Orson Welles was right about this, we need to clear our heads and be serious and progressive about this. Not destructive and just stupidly angry.

We need to build, not tear down. We need to make dreams available to everyone, not destroy peoples chances.

We need to make an Eden not a hell, as we are on the course of doing now.

G-d bless the United States of America, and may it prevail.

Chaos

The western world has descended into chaos. What was once the epitome of civilisation, has in a few years crumbled.

Western civilisation is not finished off, but it is tetering on the brink of absolute chaos.

The latest chaos of the epidemics and Black Lives matters is just the last step of a long run against the destructive end.

It all started two hundred years ago when western civilisation went from expanding to moving back.

In the meantime, the western alliance has been cut to pieces, and the pace with which this is happening is dumbfounding.

What can we do about that?

We can chose our fights carefully.

The migrants of Europe wants to chose a fight with the native Europeans over race.

I mean, when you start desecrating the monuments of Churchill, that is a blatant call for war.

That is the way it is.

Perhaps the system, our civilisation is not responding but the hatred of the Saxon seems to fill the air. That is a prelude to war.

Now, what can we do to stop this descent into chaos.

We can pick the war we wish to fight.

Do we fight a racewar, or do we fight at fight for freedom, where race is not of the matter?

I chose the latter.

Let us see, that where the Democratic/humanistic society is threatened, it must respond, forcefully to the challenge. This includes burning of poor peoples of houses and desecration of statues.

It must do so to keep the law and defend our civilisation, not to make a race war.

If we do that, we are finished for good.

G-d bless our tetering civilisation.

Non violence II

These past two weeks have really tested the very core of the United States of America, not really on a material level, on things built or other physical things, but on a moral level.

This is really what this is about, do we continue having faith in the IDEAS of the United States or do we falter and lose faith in the ideas that the country was built on.

The core tenant that was tested was that of non violence. Non violence is a genuine American idea made by Henry David Thoreau Walden.

He looked at the little acorn first burrowing in the soil, then sprouting and then growing into a tree.

He saw in this something sacred and profound, the sacredness of life.

In this perhaps insignificant observation something beautiful and lasting grew.

The RESPECT for life as an essence of Humanistic Americanism.

Something that gave us Ghandi, rev. King among others.

This true American legacy, the inherent respect for life is what was a stake, and still is at stake in wake of the Corona crisis. Do we go all hay wire violent, or do we actually respect the sanctity of life?

It actually goes both ways, and it also calls to a possible way out of this mess.

Please let us remind ourselves, of the worth of life. We cannot take it away just because it is in our way, and we CANNOT excuse the destruction that the grief of a lost life gives us.

Non violence is, at the core, a story about that sprouting acorn. Still that acorn is not felled, please let us take care of it, and eventually rest under the foil of its branches.

Because, at the core, that is what the United States of America is about. A carefulness about that life that is in our world.

G-d bless the United States of America.

Non violence?

These new online infiltration techniques, that may have been behind the latest Black Lives matter campaign are what they are. They are trolling. As the internet is filled with people who are there to ruin the debate, by provoking the discussion into a line that is unconstructive these Black Live matters are the same, just stupid memes to stir up trouble.

Don’t get me wrong, I truly believe in rev. Kings legacy. That of finding a peaceful way to live with each other, brothers and sisters black and white.

But what I also truly believe in, is non violence, in the dialogue.

We have enemies, as the islamists, as China, but we shouldn’t treat each others as enemies, we need to be strong together.

Looting and pillaging is not getting stronger or finding unity, it is the opposite. That is the way it is.

To demand justice and sympathy, the real truth is, that you need to earn it. Justice and sympathy is something you gain and make yourself. It is your own actions that will give you an image.

That is why burning down churches is not the way to go. Seriously, a church.

Rev. King was a man of G-d he respected all men of any cloth, and his mark as a preacher was to respect and dream of a better world. A world without violence, a world where you could live side by side.

Non violently.

This is very important to remember. And to me a sound and even voice that tries to recall that vibe and ethos is what is needed. Not more agression and destruction. We have enough other problems to deal with.

Please G-d, bless the great nation, and make it whole.

Cold war

The latest attack on American soil is pretty devious. Let us take a historical look at it. In the 70´ties cold war attacks were mainly done by infiltration of media, culture and academia. In Denmark we had “no atomic power movement”, that was devised by KGB.

In the US there were numerous other attempts at undermining the American society.

Now, since we are getting into a kind of cold war with China, and partly Russia, what would the next step of cold war be, in a socialmedia driven world. Well, you probably get; social media.

How does social media work, it works by driving a narrative by some subculture or other, to inflame peoples minds and feelings, and generating general mayhem.

Does that ring a bell?

Black lives matter?

All lives matter, but the whole structure of the riots do look like a cold war media manipulation attempt.

I have no prove off this, but truly who benefits the most of these riots that just to come out of nowhere, exactly at a point where Hong Kong was in trouble. Well, Hong Kong suffers and China wins.

So we have a blatant cold war mover here, using the net and probably collaborators within the US.

At least this is how cold war moves usually were, probably still is.

What to do about that.

Well it is pretty simple, keep attention on Hong Kong, douse the rebellions, be kind but not weak, and get to the bottom of it on the internet.

Dont buy the bait of going into a fight with these guys.

And off cause, help the black voters and workers. They are as mush a casualty of the this kind of manipulation.

Start to see through the deception, and stop the onslaught.

G-d bless the United States of America.

How to find peace

We have to understand the riots to understand what to do about them.

Listen, I understand the insecurity and desperation many feel due to the Coronavirus. Mr. Trump has not really delivered here, and so people get frustrated, and helpless.

But, look at the statistics, he has actually had a bit of a comeback, and is making progress. We need to give him that, after he started working on the Chlorochine scheme, things are actually moving a bit forward.

This gives a bit of hope, a small light at the end of the tunnel.

Yes, all the hard handedness of the poor black guy who got killed by a white policeman, is off cause wrong, but this is not the reason to torch whole cities.

It is the frustration over the Coronavirus that takes a mean turn.

What is the best course of action? It is to fix the economy after all the hits it has taken, get people back to work, and see some progress again.

Here is my recommendation:

1. Put in motion huge packages of relief, but focus on jobs. Those patriotic, yes, American companies that hires right now, help them even more. All those who have lost their jobs, make some kind of temporary arrangement to keep them fed.
2. Look at the root of the problem: China. Who is benefiting right now? Is the the US, or is it China?

So, please reconsider the two complicated perspectives of this riot, and help each other instead of fighting each other. It doesn’t help a anybody.

Please reconsider this, and try to find some peace.

G-d bless the peace that CAN be found.

The light from Bagsvaerd

There is a sound medical producer in Denmark called Novo Nordisk. It has produced medicine for diabetes patients for many, many years, and I happen to know some of them.

It is a company, that seems like one of those medical companies, that you can actually trust and respect.

When the craze of valuedriven, ethical leadership was over the world, Novo Nordisk went all in, so much, that they almost did it too much, and things started to went sideways economically.

They call it the light from Bagsvaerd, since Bagsvaerd is the place they live and produce their medicine.

In contrary to big pharma, Novo Nordisk is a fund, that has no other point to their existence, than to help people in Denmark and around the world.

When the founder died, he made a trust, where no one could get any profit. The company was and is contained in itself.

It was at the same time, as when mr. Niels Bohr, the danish physician went to the US, and gave inspiration to the Copenhagen school of working, that gave us Open source, and free working environment. An idea used today at Facebook and Google.

The point being, that it is about the light of creating. Not usury and money, but creating something that will actually help other people.

These are your roots, maybe it is time to try to find these roots again?

Being a doctor is about healing and helping people. Not make money on it.

G-d bless the will to be enlightened in medicine also.

Medicine

Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim [Paracelsus].

I am not an expert in medicine, I know something about the essential principles, but apart from that, my knowledge of this leading industrial arm of Western culture is limited.

We must however be honest about the current problems, that the crisis of the Covid has unearthed.

A large portion of our medicinal practice is corrupted by money and earning.

This is a true problem.

Apart from this, there is also a lack of humility in the industry towards other parts of the world, and their traditions.

Let us have a look at it.

When Paracelsus initiated chemichal medicine in the wake of the plagues, he did it roaming around Europe and its vicinity with his ubiquitous broadsword.

Let us be honest about the founder of moderne medicine. He was part scoundrel, drunk and genius.

Where was his genius, and how may we use this today.

His genius lay, in the fact, that he went away from the corruption of the day, that of high minded philosophers proscribing useless medicine at excobiant prices.

Does that ring a bell?

His idea was to look for what worked. He travelled around in the known world, and experimented with alchemical procedures on folk medicine.

That is the core of modern medicine; what works tranferred with chemical procedures in opposition to highminded greedy philosophers.

Heed that calling, again today, and we may just save modern medicine.

G-d bless the will of Paracelsus.

Adam Smith and Keynes

Ok Boris, listen starting up the society by infusing loaned money into society by using Keynesian methods is a stupid idea.

This is the reason why.

First of all, Keynes was an economist and not a philosopher like Adam Smith. Adam Smith had a more eclectic view on his theories than Keynes, and actually did make ideas, that worked, like international trade.

Keynes is, in the hall of philosophers, not even mentioned. Why? Because his ideas are simple, does not really understand economy, and thus are poor to work with.

So, let us have a true view on economy.

What is economy? According to Aristotle, economy is political housekeeping. Making the budgets meet, and, as a good housewife, save a penny for the times of trouble. That is essentially what economics is.

So, how is it with the wealth of nations? According to Adam Smith, wealth of nations is something you make by trading freely. That is, the goods that Great Britain make can be traded with the goods other nations make.

The point being, that it is the GOODS that it is all about. That is the effect of MANUFACTURE.

See, this is where Keynes does see the ups and downs of economics.

Let me explain in a simpler and more true way.

So, economics means housekeeping of nations. Then how does that system of wealth creation work in this metaphore, you could say?

Well, in housekeeping you sometimes make something in the house, or rather pa does, right?

Pa can be a smith or a builder of furniture.

By making things, he earns a living for the household. So ma keeps the budget, pa makes things. See?

So in this understanding, in order to make money, do you lend ma money to buy things, or help pa in his smithy?

Keynes idea is to lend ma money, so that she buys new furniture and paves the path to the door.

My idea is to help pa DIRECTLY, so that he makes better things.

See?

Keynes idea will work, it will make ma buy things from other households, but the problem is, as Adam Smith points out. Ma does not necessarily buy thing from WITHIN the nation, but often buy things over the internet, like …. from China.

So the money that was supposed to help the NATION on its feet, effectively only work with 50 percent of the money spent, and the rest goes to our competitors.

Thereby weakening the economy long term.

It’s an easy fix, but like any easy fixes. It will bring a little warmth here and now, but long term, as our competitors grow stronger because we gave them orders on borrowed money, it weakens us.

I don’t know the advice you get, but please fire them, and get someone a bit more competent. This is not worth you and my project.

Use philosophy, not economics.

G-d bless the will of Adam Smith.

Having jobs

Ok, when we have tackled the Coronavirus challenge, we have to, at the same time, work on our businesses.

This how we did it in Denmark, we did not do it perfectly, but we did some things ok.

We put a security net under the businesses, so that the businesses did not have to fire any employees.

This means, that now when the crisis is over, our businesses are able to get up and running pretty fast.

This the focus of a opening of society. To get the businesses up and running as fast as possible.

Use the money allocated for the task by the state to make this happen.

There have been some rumble and discussion on the issue, since the rules were a little inflexible.

But the whole helping package was made in cooperation with the businesses that are threatened.

Talking and communicating can get you a long way.

So in order to make a package for the opening of society, try to help those poor families that are in need of support.

Give them a helping hand, by giving them the opportunity to get back their jobs.

Union will hopefully back this Joe, because having jobs are kind of what it is all about being a worker, right?

Instead of headbutting in this situation, try to reach out and cooperate with the owners of businesses.

It can be done.

G-d bless the will to make things work again, after the crisis.

Corona

It seems to me, that people do not understand how to treat the Coronavirus.

Really it is not rocket science. What we are dealing with is a disease, that is transferred via hands, touching things that others have touched and so on.

So it is really quite simple to cut the chains of the disease spreading.

All you have to do, is to find the weak link and cut it there.

How do we do that?

Well here we really have to methods. One is testing the other is tracking.

How do we test? Well that is also quite simple, what you do, is to make the test as widely accessible as possible.

In Israel we have built special booths for that purpose. But if that is not possible, surveillance over the weakest citizens of the country is mandatory. Elderly homes should be tested over, really.

You have, also the ability to track people with gizmos and gadget, that is phoneapps that communicate. Getting these methods underway are pretty much a no brainer.

But last, not least. The entire discussion on Chlorochine treatment is a bogus. Yes it works, so use it.

With these simple precautions, the entire country should be up and running pretty fast.

Then the other discussion is the economy. Which is the next question we need to address.

That will be a posting for tomorrow.

But also here we have time tested methods, that can take the industry back from China.

G-d bless the will to be vigilant and forceful in these matters.

Progress

Political development is 99% reuse of old ideas, and 1 % new ideas.

That is the way it is with all kind of political development.

Take the development of Democracy. It is a mix of law state that comes from Plato, that again comes from Hammurabi or Nebuchadnezzar, the Babylonian kings.

And a mix of the right of the citizens to be free. Again an idea that stems from ancient Athens, and the viking states here up north.

Free men on bikes, horses, boats or any kind of vehicle really have their ancestors, the vikings to thank for their urge for freedom.

Point being, that political principle is reuse over reuse over reuse.

Then, sometimes, a little extra i added to the mix. Like free trade, or my ideas of loyalty of the production apparatus and so on.

But compared to the idea of freedom and the justice of the law, these things are really small, small things.

We the people, is an ancient and tremendously deep beckoning, called by so many generations, that we have lost number.

We are just small, inferior holders of the light, compared to those who came before.

So to be a progressive, you need to stand on a firm foundation.

We do not go away from what the founders said or had of opinion, we, humbly, build on the edifices they raised with so much toil and through some very hard times.

That is a true progressive to my mind, not a destroyer, but a humble craftsman, building on the base of those who came before us.

This does not mean, we should not work with fervor and fire. We should keep that flame alive. But it does mean, that we should respect those who came before us.

There were some strong men and hopefully women who wrote those amendments, we need to hold them in regard and respect them.

Continue the work on that beautiful structure and valley of dreams.

Otherwise we will lose our perspective of what this is all about.

That would not serve us, we should be rebuilders, not the opposite.

That will propel us to a new world, where dreams are dreamt, and we remain most important of all; free.

G-d bless the will to be strong in the face of the challenges ahead, we will pull through, if we have faith in the dreams people before us dreamt.

Denmark socialist?

There has been some discussion wether Denmark is a Socialist country or not, meaning, if we are communists, why do we even have a say internationally. Since communism has been the scourge of the Earth pretty much.

Well to be honest, me myself, I am a conservative. I recognize some ideas of communism, namely progressive tax, the fight for equality between people, sexes and so on.

But I am a bible thumping, familiy loving passionate, patriot.

When I listen to music, my preferred go to is country music, and I really love the Mid West.

I also really like the workers, and strive to make a society, where they have a place. Dumping them under the bus, was, to my mind, a great mistake.

Then, my father was from Bangladesh, a migrant to Denmark. So you couldn’t really call me a white supremacist.

In other words, saying that some of the ideas that I have given to the US are communist, just doesn’t make sense.

Add to this, I have taken my mother’s Jewish roots, and now walk around with a star of David around my neck.

With such a melting pot of ideas and background, that I have been put into the world with. What I try to do, is to make sense of it all, and then I try to make a better world with what we have got.

This is not some high minded idealism. Yes off cause it is idealistic, but at the core, it is a lot of practicality. We have some problems, we need a way to fix them.

Socialism or communism is not Marxism. Yes Marx is a central figure of socialism, but before and after Marx, there have been many ideas, some good, some bad.

What you get with the Danish strand of thought is not Marxism. We are not dreaming of taking over the world. We are the janitors or craftsmen of the world.

We see a house that needs repair, and we start making repairs.

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