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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Listen Joe, in order to prepare yourself for the nigthmare of an election of mr. Trump, you need to be prepared for his special way of fighting.

Don’t’ get me wrong, I am not one of the finger pointers of the left, saying that mr. Trump is a evil man, he is not.

But you must admit, that his style is pretty unconventional.

Democritus say, that the words hold a shadow of the deeds. Meaning, that if you can call out something or someone with truth, it is a powerful weapon. So what mr. Trump does, is that he finds his opponents weaknesses and focus on them.

Crooked Hillary, little rocket man in North Korea.

So in order to counter that, you need to be honest. Because honesty is your best weapon against that onslaught.

You also need to be ready to fight back.

I mean to be honest, what is the difference between calling mr. Romney “outsourcer in chief” and calling Hillary crooked?

It is a part of the game, a dirty part, but you have to be prepared.

In other words, think about what you will do when mr. Trump opens his war on you, what are your counterstrokes, what will he focus on, and what will you call him?

I don’t like name calling, but I do believe, that you have to be prepared to fight that fight also

Modern politics is like that, like it or not.

G-d bless the best man at the election, and let us hope it does not get more dirty than it needs to be.

One thing that will be an issue in this next election is the difference between worth of the two opponents.

Worth is, according to Democritus, the hall mark of a respected leader.

I mean, mr. Trump has his qualities, and I, for one, do not think he is a bad man. He is not, the fight against the corruption of the American society he has done, speaks to the opposite.

But one must admit, that he has a vicious mouth.

What does that imply for the Democratic contest? Well, it does bring some sharp knives to the fight, and even though we like to keep things civil, elections are, for better or worse, a competition, and personal strength in a fight actually does matter. The world is a dangerous place, and being able to protect the country is a vital part of the job of being president.

So what are my comments to the public Facebook methods of Mr. Trump?

Well, my stance on it is, that the more you are foul of mouth, the more you need to be ethical in your actions.

But when Biden is to start the fight with mr. Trump, he needs to bring his own knives into the fight. It will certainly not be won with niceties, if will be a back ally knife fight, and Joe, you better be prepared.

G-d bless the will to be good in a difficult situation.

Ok, here are my thoughts on how to create a new Eden in the US, and thus keep the American dream alive.

Let me give you some insight as to how we here in Denmark had a parallel development to the US two hundred years ago.

At that time, the ideas of Democracy and the rule of the people started, and the leading intellectual N.F.S. Grundtvig tried to understand how we could make a Democracy in Denmark.

He concluded, that without a wise people, there would be no Democracy. So he started what is called the “Hoejskolebevaegelse”. In essence it was a string of schools with the sole purpose to educate the people to make a Democracy.

The beauty of that project was, that it worked.

The Hoejskolebevaegelse really educated the Danes, not in cold arithemtics, but in wisdom of life.

That is really what I takes to make a good society, to make a school that do not only focus on the knowledge of learning, but much more on the CULTURE of a democracy.

The reason why I wholeheartedly believe in this idea, is because my family is a Hoejskolefamily, and at Vallekilde Hoejskole, thoroughly inspired by Oxford and Cambridge, used to be a paradise itself.

When people came to Vallekilde, they felt that they had entered Eden.

See?

You have to make schools little Edens, little wheels in that American dream.

If people are thought to be good, have knowledge about things in the world, then Democracy will work.

There should be a Hoejskole in a place called Tyler, as far as I remember in the US.

Folk enlightenment is such a strong idea, that it is the proverbial sister of the American dream.

Hand in hand, these two ideas, can and will recreate and elevate the American dream.

Because building that Utopia in America has happened before, thus it can happen again.

It is a matter of a fight to do so, to support the dream, to make it happen. Here the schools are the main jewel of that dream.

A dream that requires good teachers and a motivated school.

Let it be, that the American dream is revitalized and is there for also future generations to strive for.

G-d bless the dreams we can realize if we work hard enough.

There comes a time, where one needs to hand on the power to the next generation. Why? Because clinging on to power is often abuse, and it hinders the flow of development.

This time has finally come to me, it is time for me, to hand on the responsibility and power to the next generation.

As of now, I simply cannot be responsible anymore.

My situation is like this; I have been sick for the last 8 – 9 months. In the course of putting up the tv station, my back has been totally wrecked. I cannot move more than two times a day, that is picking up my kid, and then do something else.

This is not something I say to reach out for help, I do generally not reach that out for help, but just to be honest about my situation.

It is not possible for me, to support the Liberals in the next election, simply because, I do not have the energy to do it.

I will support the best I can, but to take that general responsibility that I have done until now, is simply not possible.

Hopefully, after getting better, I can be back in a stronger position. But not now.

I am sorry, but you also have to be able to give away the power, when you are not able to carry the weight.

I for one will not be the person, that clings to power, just because I like it.

I prefer to relinquish it, and give it on to the next generation of intellectuals.

So this is not a good buy, but a thank you for helping me in the political Change, that I have been able to participate in.

I will continue developing the ideas about the American dream, and the other ideas, that I am currently working on. But the energy to fight in elections is not available for me right now. I am sorry Joe, I wished I could do better for you. But for you to rely on me in a situation where I cannot walk, let alone be responsible for some of the most difficult elections processes in the world, is not fair for you either.

I need to recuperate, and get well, before I can do anything more.

Thank you all, and;

G-d bless you.

In a situation, where you are divided you will loose, but in a situation, where you are united, nothing can beat you. That is the maxim of the philosopher Democritus, ‘chosen by the people’ as his name reads.

Finding unity however is not easy, it requires a deep understanding of what is up and down in the world.

Understanding what you are yourselves.

To be able to Change, you need to understand where you come from; Democracy, enlightenment, the quest for a good life here on earth.

Because be as it may, you may want new ideas, but if you lose yourself in the process, then you lose something truly valueable of yourself.

Trying to make Change based on what you come from is therefor what this is all about.

I believe, that in strengthening the core, you will have the ability to Change the things that need changing.

It is a balance between holding on to what you are, and finding new ways to make a better world.

G-d bless the will to do good and make a better world as we progress in time. Because finding and fighting for that dream is what it is all about, for everyone.

It is pretty strange, after Hillary lost the last election, it seems to me, that we have had a phase of going all the way back to a 70’ties understanding of liberal politics. We have had the squad, ms. Pelosi has been a bit pickled with the situation, and things have seemed a bit out of here.

But that is politics, it shifts from right to left, to right like a pendulum.

Now we have an election coming up, I have finally managed to get my economy in order. A small tv station it may be that I now lead, but it is my tv station and it gets me a steady income. Something other may take for granted, but for me, that is a huge thing.

I am not rich, but it is ok, I am happy with it, and to be rich is not an aim in itself, but managing to pay the bills is a very nice thing indeed.

Anyway, so here we are again, we have managed to make peace internally in the party, and hopefully this peace will continue at least until and after the election.

We need to be united in this difficult situation.

Then we also need to discuss what we are fighting FOR.

This FOR is not easy, because what is it that we need to Change this time in order to meet the challenges ahead?

One thing that I am finally understanding after having read Steinberg is the American dream.

Rev. Luther King used to make speeches about this dream, but to be honest, I haven’t really understood it until now.

But Steinberg does understand it in his tale about California, and with him my understanding has become complete.

The American dream is to build paradise here on earth.

That is what you guys realized in California in the 50’ties.

Paradise on earth in the valley of Salinas.

So in order to fight for and protect that dream, we need to understand what paradise is. Or to use terms of the Bible; Eden.

Eden was a real place. In political terms it was the first city state in the Middle East and also called, at that time; Eridu.

You can still find traces of human settlement at the place where it was, but the traces have almost vanished.

So this cradle of civilisation that later gave us towering cities as Babylon and Nineveh, is what we understand as the first happy place, an ideal, Eden.

In order to create an Eden here on earth, we need faith. Faith is the pillar under Eden. That is, we as human beings need to care for each other, and build that country school, right?

As Hillary said, every county needs good cities that needs good schools, and that will give us a healthy society.

That is how we create Eden in the US. Through the virtue of American values; hard work, good neighbourship and honest deliberation.

Everybody, not just the rich or the poor, the white or the black. Everybody.

If we work, honestly with an aim at making a better world, we can actually create paradise of earth. It happened once, why not again?

Seen from a liberal perspective, that is community in action, and a viable path for us to travel on. The path of light, to cite my uncle mr. Poul Engberg.

The path of light.

G-d bless the dreams we may fulfill, and shape for the future.

We have to be realistic about the next four years of power, if we ever get to rule in the Liberal party.

No, talking about climate change will not be enough to run on, in terms of a full fledged political manifest.

We need to cover other areas as well. Among them job creation, business, child care, workers rights. We have to make it so, that people are at peace with each other, and do not fight with each other.

In foreign politics, we have som mammoth problems as the fight with China, and the fight with the islamists have not stopped either.

So in realterm politics there are many things we have to think about.

People may vote for us, because we look the best in terms of statesmanship and so on, but at the end of the day, there are a plethora of problems we need to tackle to make it through the term.

These problems evolve, diversify and will end the power the US have, if we do not tackle them with intelligence, understanding of the world and a good heart.

It is really complicated.

At the other hand, if we play this game with a deft hand, we can build a future for ourselves.

When I entered the world stage, the US was truly on the way down. Bush had just used too much money on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and US power was at an all term low.

We Changed that, Barack and I, and put the US back as the leader of the world.

How did we do that? Through a deft playing of the game of the world.

Through an understanding of the rules, and a fair fight with our enemies.

Through the respect we built up in these years, US had a rebound.

Under mr. Trump, US power has diminished again, but at the other hand, US is not seen as the arch enemy anymore, China is taking over the role pretty efficiently because of their inherently colonialistic actions and honestly pretty callous handling of the Corona virus development.

They used the virus as a civil war weapon, killing innocent people in their grasp for power.

That is bad mojo.

My point is, when we, hopefully, return to power, we have an option to regain our footing, and lead the world to a better place.

Perhaps give people the option to have a piece of that American dream, the dream of paradise on earth.

But we need to play the election and the role of leadership professionally and with ethics.

G-d bless the United States of America.

The reason why we are discussing borders and all this, is because we have to. It is not something we like to do in the liberal camp.

We prefer to reach for that shining hill, not diminish the possibility of people. That is the American dream, to be able to reach not only a materially sound existence, but to reach paradise here on earth.

To do that, we need to be free.

And now we are forced to talk about borders, restriction, vetting and so on.

My point is, we HAVE to talk about how to make a frame around the nation to make it through these next few conflicts we have.

But to do so, we still need to remember what we are doing it for.

To my mind, John Steinbeck is a quality philosopher in this regard. His description of the valley of Salinas, with all its many ways of seeing the human life really hit the nail for me.

His point is, we are trying to create a utopia in the US. A paradise.

It seems to me, that we actually succeeded in some ways especially in California.

It is this paradise that we have actually realized already, and we need to both preserve as well and protect.

We need to understand why and how we actually managed to make this paradise, the steps we took, and how it has come under pressure with all the wars we have fought.

We need to keep that American dream alive.

Otherwise, what is the point of what se do?

G-d bless the will to keep our dreams alive.

It seems to me, that economical Trierism is finally truly taking hold in the Western world.

The focus on getting production back to the West has finally begun in earnest.

Let us recapitulate the ideas and the theory.

It is, essentially, a Smithsonian principle.

As Adam Smith, the philosopher who invented free market theory, thought. You need to have a balance between moral and freedom.

In the eyes of Adam Smith, loyalty to the country was the opposite to free markets.

So to a balance between freedom and ethics, we need to make sure, that the production capabilities of our nations are LOYAL to our nations.

This ensures, that we all compete fairly in a free market.

What we have seen China do, and the reason why China is so dangerous to the international free trade ideas, is that it circumvent these principles. Stealing the ideas of the West, thereby forgoing the investment in R and D.

This has put us all in a situation, where all the production capabilities have come in the hands of people that we cannot trust.

In a crisis, as one we have now, this poses serious threat to the health of our societies.

The consequence of this realization is, that we need to keep the production in countries we can truly trust, ESPECIALLY production of medico equipment and the like.

But not only that, other sectors as computers, car production and the like. That is sectors that can be used in war, NEEDS to be relocated back to the West.

Right now, the industry agrees, so we need to move forcefully to make that happen.

How do we do that?

By a focused and smart reinventing of all the rules and regulations that surrounds the industry.

Lure them in with tax breaks, cut the red tape and so on.

Make it happen.

G-d bless the will to get our wonderful and world class production back to ourselves.

Well, there is one thing we need to do in the West, to get on with our lives.

We have to look our fears in our eyes.

According to John Steinbeck, the acclaimed and honestly amazing American writer.

There is one way to get rid of our fears, we have to look them in the eyes.

We have been hit with terror. That is criminal acts to make us fear an enemy.

We have seen it many times, the destruction of the twin towers in New York, the attack on my comet tee the Vilks committee.

That is, to be honest islamists who try to put fear in us.

To be honest about this, they have, more or less, succeeded in this.

We are loath to talk about the problems, if some hero or other try to bring the horrible problems to the surface, then we try and silence them and so on.

As in the Second World War, where we were loath to be honest about the depravity and evilness of the Narzies.

Appeasement will only get us so far, there comes a time, where we have to face our fears.

This is extremely difficult, and I understand, that there is a great reluctance in the media to see things as they are.

I know, because even though I am an international super star, so far the Danish media have been scared to let me in. Why? Because I have the courage to address the fears.

The fear of Islam, of China, of our own destruction.

I do this, because that is the way of Socrates, the soldier turned philosopher.

But I do believe, that only through the acceptance of our fears, and the courage to face them, may we actually and truly find peace.

The more we are controlled by our fears, the more violence will come, because terror begets terror.

If the islamists realize, that that can control us through controlling our fears, they will continue the terror. If they realize, that we are not controlled by fear, they will hopefully stop.

I do not talk about making more war, I am talking about being honest about the Twin tower attack, the murder of Lee Rigby and many other terror attacks.

Where have they come from, and what do we do to counter them?

That will bring us peace, because it robs the terrorist of their greatest weopen: Fear.

G-d bless the will to find courage.

Well, congratulations Joe. I just knew it. When I started supporting the next election, you were always the one that I personally supported.

I do it because I believe, that in you we have a midleaning, good person, that will have the ability to lead not only the US, but the whole world.

Don’t get me wrong, Obama did an amazing job, mr. Trump is not doing a bad job either.

But I believe, that you also have it in you.

Being the leader of the world is a very difficult thing, and only if you really do your best can you succeed. But I sincerely believe that you can do it.

First of all, I believe, that there is a balance between the workers of the socialist perspective and the new Frankfurter school ideology.

In Denmark we have gone all haywire on multiculturalism, forgetting the workers.

That won’t do, and that is the reason things are going down.

But in the US, we still support the stout and strong workers, and try to make jobs for them. Real working class jobs in a cooperation with the industry.

That is a vital first step to my mind.

Then talking about multiculturalism. Multiculturalism do not work, if we ONLY look a the color of a persons skin. What we need to look a lot more at, is what ideology binds us together.

Here I believe, that rev. Martin Luther King was in the right, by supporting a faith that underlined all that we have in common, and not the differences.

Unity is ALSO a biblical supported idea. That we are all created equal in the eyes of the spirit.

That is also very important, that what brings us together is something that is beyond race and the skirmishes we use to have with each other.

That is possible, and it WILL bring us together.

But there is a war coming, and that is not something that really is natural to liberals.

That is something we need to make peace with somehow, and perhaps it is better for those who strive for peace to be the ones leading the wars.

That is a thing that we can learn from Scipio Africanus. He started the war with Carthage always bearing in mind the peace he wanted to create in the end.

That is a lesson we can learn from.

Scipio is a true peace nick in a sense, he knew he had to go through a terrible war to find peace, so he did it brilliantly, and then drew back.

Sometimes you have to fight to make peace. It is one of those enigmas of politics.

An enigma we have to face as well.

But, I endorsed you half a year ago, so there is no reason to do it again. You were always MY favourite.

G-d bless the peace we will find eventually.

To understand the conflict with China, we need to see this in a historical light, to my mind.

Where is there a parallel in history, that we can learn from?

Well, there is a pretty obvious one in the so-called Punic wars.

In these wars, in the classical times, the Roman Empire grew, and the Carthagenian empire waned.

It came to a head in the wars between Hannibal Barca, the founder of a great bit of Spain, and Lucius Scipio on the Roman side.

The Romans won, and was put on a path of glory, that still holds sway over most of the world through, among other institutions the Roman Catholic Church. If not for Scipio, the Roman Catholic Church would not have existed.

So, we have, on one side, a naval empire, the Carthagenians, and at the other side a land based upcoming empire, that of Rome.

What are the lessons we can learn from this conflict?

First of all, there was a greater TENACITY in Rome. Rome did not really like Scipio, but they accepted him. Carthage HATED Hannibal, and saw him as a troublemaker and not representing Carthage.

Also, Carthage was an ancient power, harking back to the merchants of Tyre, that helped build the ancient pyramids. So they were, at the time of the conflict with the Romans a power dating around four thousands years back. The Romans had just started.

So in a sense, they were old and feeble.

This has a clear parallel to the current conflict with China. We have in West been through a lot of wars. First the First World War, then the Second World War, then the Cold War and then the war with a lot of the Muslim world.

So even though we have the best and most bright civilization, we are weak after a string of wars.

China at the other hand, has lived in relative peace under the wing of the Soviet Union, and have had time to develop and get strong.

So we have the tired old civilization (us) targeting the new upcoming threat of a vibrant, well functioning and strong civilization of the Chinese.

Let us be honest about it, they have their house in order.

Yes, there are problems with corruption, and the Chinese authorities are lying faster than dragons fly. But their citizens are reasonably content, their manufacure is cutting edge, and their computer capabilities rival and even surpass ours in some areas.

A worthy opponent if there ever was one.

We are also fighting a two front war. As we are fighting the Chinese, we are at the same time fighting a large part of the Muslim world.

In these days, the latest method of some Muslims of low cost warfare, is to bury knives in kindergartens here in Denmark. Just imagine the depravity of that. That is warfare completely without honor.

But that is the threat we are facing.

So what do we do.

At one hand, we need to strengthen our OWN ideology. We need to be MORE democratic, fight for our values such as freedom and unity within our nations.

So that we strengthen our VALUES.

At the other hand, whether we like it or not, the conflicts are coming to a point of breaking into a warm war.

If it is true, that China spread this virus on purpose, as it is hinted in Fox News, then that is a warm war aggressive act.

The islamists and all their aggression in Western Europe will increase as well, as we are heading for a fight with China. They will seek to dismantle us, as we have our attention elsewhere.

So we effectively have to fight a two front war.

But war it is.

That is another lesson we can learn from the Punic wars. Nobody actually wanted the wars, but they were a effect of the rubbing of territorial forces between Carthage and Rome.

It was inevitable.

I mean, do we see the US accepting Chinese domination over our land in the near future. Us paying tribute to them?

No way.

So the war is there, and it is real.

What we need to do, is to start fighting.

Do it in an honorable, effective way. But start doing it.

Repatriate the criminals from the Middle East in Europe (not all, but all those who are resting in our prisons, or seek to actively undermine our democratic society through Islamist organizations)

With China, it is the same. We need to stop fretting about it, and realize that we have a warm war at our hands.

We are warweary and old, but only if we start acting like we would like to survive, do we have the chance to do so.

In fact, the problem is. We have no choice whether we would like to fight or not, only HOW we would like to fight.

China likes to fight by killing civilians through epidemics. So they fight with no honor. Are we the same?

Questions like that are questions we need to ask ourselves.

And then start acting on reasonable, reliable intel and motives.

G-d bless the will to peace.

Utopia means somewhere that is not there, according to sir Thomas More, who coined the phrase.

It is not there, so we can dream about a place with no poverty, where every man is so selfmoralizing, that nothing can really touch that place of imaginations.

The sixties was in many way a time of dreaming and trying to realize these lofty ideals. Yes I know, that many see Beatles as a Russian tool and so on.

But at the end of the day, they were dreamers.

Today, that dream has come to some kind of conclusion, the utopia that Marx saw as a reflection of the ideas of sir Thomas More has become unbearable.

It is like that, we have to be honest about it.

Then it may be a good idea to revisit the ideas of sir Thomas More, the English renaissance philosopher, to see if we can somehow reflect on the path from here on.

Thomas More starts his writings on a conclusion he must have made as a judge. He talks about thieves and inevitably of creating more thieves, if we make it impossible for people to make an honest living.

You could say, that that is really the spark of social sciences, that harks to the idea, that education is the answer to all. If people have a job, they do not have to steal, so we have a better world without the misery of a poor working class.

Well, that was WITHIN the English society.

What happens, when you open up borders, and import a new proletariat, as we have done in Western Europe.

Well, it creates a new class of poor people, that cannot feed themselves. People may not be able to even speak the language.

So, as in the world of Thomas More, crime is rampant.

Again, this is not a criticism of the individual, but a plea to be realistic about these issues.

If we import a new subclass of very poor people, we ALSO create the basis for more crime.

That is one of the reasons, that open borders is such a dangerous thing.

Now, again, this not a plea to not help people. But it is a plea to make people be a bit realistic about open borders.

To make a utopia, we need to be realistic about the world, and see it for what it is.

Sir Thomas More was a warm humanist, and should be made an example as such.

We need to find a balance between those lofty humanist ideals, and the material world.

That means, making communities again. Trying to find each other, be stronger and realize, that there are to be simple borders between people.

Not to not help people, but to have more strength to be a viable and sound society, that can then be of help to those who are in need.

There is a viable and important lesson to be learned from the virus, that we need to heed.

No, China cannot do whatever they want in our countries, and yes, they are a danger.

That is the lesson learned, and we need to understand and heed it.

G-d bless the will to be in favor of order also.

To understand the basic political implications for the different republics in this overall discussions of politics, one needs to UNDERSTAND the ideas behind the republics.

As I have discussed in the previous post, there is a balance between Sparta and Athens built into the system.

But there is a problem within the system itself, that seems to baffle the mind, if you think about it.

Socialism, is really, in a Marxist view, a replica of the city Sparta. So true gong ho, communists are trying to remake the ancient city of Sparta to a new version here in this modern times.

When you read about Sparta, this is both understandable and reprehensive.

Seen with a modern view, things as forced slavery, secret services to repress the Helots (slaves) as a sport, is not exactly a good thing.

At the other hand, communal services, equality, and solidarity are good virtues of the Spartans.

Ad too this their beautiful piety, and brotherhood, you have a system of virtue, but also with some cruelty that is too much.

Essentially point being, that when we talk about unity and brotherhood of man, we have to realize that in order to make these things, in the current state, we need to be realistic at what that takes.

It takes a certain conservatism in the eyes of the republic.

We cannot on one hand have open borders and not care about who enters the country, and at the other hand have brotherhood.

The brotherhood we are talking about, is a NATIONAL brotherhood, based on the PEOPLES of the different republics.

This does not mean, that we cannot be open to people of need, but it means, that we should be very much realistic on what we can help with, who we help and so on.

Terrorist, criminals and so on are not allowed in, but true refugees, that flee some kind of tyrannical repression should be welcome.

But, as of now, we should close our borders, and think about what and how we make a brotherhood of man.

It is, at the heart of it, a mix of liberal, humanistic and conservative ideas, suited for the current situation.

G-d bless the will to see these issues clear and honest, and let us not forget those of need, because they are many these days.

The Corona virus at the one hand, is a devastating virus, that tears apart the economy, kills people and in many ways is a scourge.

But so far, we have only started to scratch the surface of the deeper POLITICAL discussion. Because what does it have of consequences for the world?

Well, it seems pretty clear right now, that globalism is over. The idea, that we can travel without borders to anywhere we want simply is not a viable idea, if the consequence is total lockdown of the world every other year.

The openness allows not only people to travel everywhere, but also all kinds of other problems, among them a virus.

But there are other problems as we have seen in Europe with the waves of migrants, terror and international crime.

These problems are CREATED by globalism.

So, as a consequence we need to be realistic about the world we want to create after the shock of the Coronavirus. We are forced to be realistic about the open world idea, and shut down borders, ramp up security and put up borders.

These actions are necessary. It may be sour, but we cannot exist with Coronavirus and other problems, without taking our precautions.

The question then comes to the next logical string of arguments and understanding. What do we do with this realization?

To make a sound perspective and discussion on this, I believe, that we need to understand the foundations of our systems, and then try to find a way to Change these systems to cope with the new situation.

We essentially have a conservative camp up against a liberal camp.

The conservatives wanting tradition, security and stability, the liberals wanting freedom and movement.

These two sets of ideas or way of understanding the world, needs to come to some kind of development to Change the system.

This leads us to try to understand what these movements essentially are.

One way of looking at it, is to see it from a Spartan and an Athenian perspective.

Sparta being the conservative, Athens being the liberal.

I think, to be honest, we need to tackle the world from a Spartan perspective these days, but with a deep understanding of the Athenian perspective.

Somehow, we need to make a balance between the two sets of ideas, and then remake the republics to a more modern structure of ideas.

We need to close the borders, be much more communal and have solidarity, as in Sparta. But we at the same time, need to keep our freedoms vibrant and alive.

These opposing ways of politics needs to find a new balance, or rather. It will find a new balance, question is, will it happen in a structured and planned way, or through chance.

So, these are some of the issues I believe we are going to discuss in the political discussion of the Corona virus.

G-d bless the will to see clear in difficult circumstances.

These are incredibly trying times for all of us. Not least me, I feel like stretched out between the duty I feel for the countries, that are in a way a bit dependent on the Platonic perspective for advise.

Anyway, one of the things, that I would sincerely advise for Great Britain right now, is to start praying. Mr. Johnson, our Prime minister, so bold and hero for many is at the hospital due to a valiant attempt at reaching out for the diseased in a hospital.

Now he is in harms way, and have difficulty breathing.

In this pivotal moment, what can the nation of the British do? They can pray, not only for themselves, but also for mr. Johnson. In this moment, they will realize, that prayer is not something artificial or just waste of time. It works, it turns the tide.

Use this tool, to curry favor with G-d.

To Change the course of the country, to find each other again.

G-d will listen to prayers, and help.

There is a chance of a miracle, but it requires great dedication to each other.

I know that Great Britain is wounded and not as strong as it used to be. Why? Because of lack of faith.

Find faith, and then this will give you strength again.

May G-d bless the isles of the English.

In these truly difficult times, it is well and important to understand how we get through this crisis. As her majesty the Queen addresses the commonwealth and the nation this evening, there is one thing that may be important for the inhabitants of the English isles and beyond.

As we are told in old books about the country, there is such a thing as tenacious even obstinate understanding of the world. The stiff upper lip as someone sometimes calls it.

It means, that through difficult times, we still maintain the dignity of our persons, go on in the face of difficulty with our life’s in a most solid and stoic way.

That way of ancients seafarers standing on the washed off planks of the vessels of old. Strong, unmoved by the forces around them, to reach that distant port of Dover or London.

That is the character of the English. This character is what is called for, in these difficult times.

That ancient, strong, stoic way of doing things.

Some might call it all business, but deep down we know that it is otherwise, it is beyond business and truly what calls and beacons to that old strong man on the islands.

Being that man, is what will bring hope, because that man can do anything and carry through also this challenge, difficult as it may be.

May the isles of England purvey its glory of the flag, that has now risen again.

G-d bless her majesty the Queen, and may she carry us through this nightmare with her wisdom and terrible but endless power of the crown and will of the people. May Great Britain carry through these difficult hours of despair and be reborn in a new image of strength and vigor. G-d bless the strength of the people, as it carries through these difficult times. G-d bless the Anglican Church, as it blesses the sanctity of all people of Britain, and G-d bless the most rev. Premiere Minister, may his health still be sound, and his actions swift and clear. G-d bless the common wealth where all are in trouble, and G-d bless all those who carry the burdens of the disease. G-d bless us all, and may we persevere.

Ok, we now know, what the prime methods against the Coronavirus:

1. Isolation
2. Finding the sick and those who infect others

On these methods, we can work.

This means, as it is the method that will harm the least, that we need to find the diseasespreaders and isolate them. This is what is the most benign and most effective method to combat the virus.

Again, this will effect a lot of people, but it needs to be done.

Secondly, we need to be smart about closing down our countries. There is no need to close down areas, that are not effected. So we need to monitor the areas that we are responsible for, and only close those that are affected. At the same time, make sure, that people do not travel regionally.

This disease targets all the most religious countries. We live in large families, and this way of living creates the perfect condition for at large scale infection.

The virus is a poisoning, this means, that the families that are large create massive amounts of virus in their families.

So, we need to help those countries that are religious the most. But first and foremost, the religious countries need to ramp up their fight against the disease massively.

G-d will only protect us, if we are use what we have of tools to work. We have to do what we can in order to combat this disease.

Especially in the Muslim countries we face a massive catastrophe, we need to tackle that, and protect those families.

This is extremely important.

G-d bless the will to act on this virus now.

Well, it seems to me, that the strategies that I have devised; the anti sino strategy, and the return to a liberal/conservative nation state is a serious strategy in the light of the Coronavirus.

Exactly these issues have come forth in the international catastrophe. 1. The fact, that we CANNOT rely on Chinese manufacture. Maybe for nonessential products, but all serious production capability, that being of medical equipement, IT infrastructure and so on. Simply cannot be put in the hands of China, or of any country we cannot trust around the globe. We have to bring production home. If the businesses haven’t got the gist of it now, when will they.

That is a national production package of tremendous proportion must be done. Use all the money we now seed into the societies to move the critical production from countries we do not trust, to countries we do trust. That is essentially the West and off cause parts of the East, as we can find new friends there.

But China, Singapore and all these countries, no go.

2. The federal level of state has failed us, it has not met the problems in any meaningful way. This should change, so that national parliaments should have power again.

We have a success with national parlimentarism, let us build on that.

So in a way, it has been a good thing to stress test the global world, and find the insecurities and flaws. It shows us what should be done.

As I and mr. Barack Obama devised; bring back jobs and production to the West, and strengthen the humanistic, democratic virtues and values.

That will bring us to the other side of the Corona virus in a strengthened position.

We need to learn. The lesson is clear; no more China, and no more weakening of the will of the people.

The people should rise, to meet these challenges, together in a democratic, sound nation.

G-d bless the will to be strong in the face of adversity.

Well, the Corona virus has been devastating for a lot of reasons. Not the least the fact, that people are dying.

The worst is still to come in some areas, but so far the entire human race has not been eradicated.

If we look at the virus, there has become apparent certain traits of the virus.

Firstly, there has been two major successful ways of reacting to the virus, one is communist the other is capitalist or democratic.

The communist version is total lockdown of the society, the capitalist is to use AI and tech to deal with the individual people of disease.

So there are two methods reflecting our mindset and social construction. This is not a criticism, but a simple description of the current state of affairs.

The first method is extremely costly in terms of human suffering, the second is less so, but will take a lot of principles of freedom away, that we have currently got used to having.

That is a serious consideration, to keep our rights, also after the epidemic outbreak.

My recommendation would be to go with the smart solution, but respect, that there may be a reason to use the communist solution.

In some areas, there is not enough available tech to use the smart solution, and not a sufficient amount of mask, testing equipment and so on, to make the strategy work. In this area, you may need to be more hard handed.

But if you can, make the curfew as small as humanely possible.

We will have to see, what will happen in the next couple of weeks, but we are still in the midst of the epidemic, and we need to stay vigilant and take countermeasures that fits the layout of the society we are in, and spread of the disease.

G-d bless the peace we will find, at the end of this humane catastrophe.

I know, that in these times, it is difficult for the Italians. Everybody else are as put down by the Corona virus as you are in Italy.

But that should not stop us from showing some attention and solidarity for Italy in this difficult hour!

Viva Italia!

And may G-d bless your recovery.

It seems to me, that all the trouble we have, is due to the fact, that we have not contained China.

Let us have a look on the facts of the Corona COVID/19 virus.

It spread from a place called Wuhan in China. Specifically from a so-called ‘wetmarket’ that is a vile word for a horrendous market where you can buy all kinds of game. That lions, deer, dogs, bats and other kind of exotic animal game.

In itself, these markets are a terrible thing. Just imagine to put living animals in cages on top of each other, let them suffer there, and then just use them for the refined tastes of the upper echelons of Chinese communist aristocracy.

It is pretty dark.

But on top of that, these markets are so dirty, that they CREATE these viruses. Not only the Corona virus, but also the bird flu.

Now don’t get me wrong, I am not a doctor, but it seems to me, that the circumstances that the Chinese authorities are allowing in these places are beyond acceptable on all parameters.

It simply shows what will happen if the world I lead by China.

Because they are essentially so dark and disregarding towards essential human treatment of others, in these circumstances animal game, that the world they create is a terrible place.

Compare this to the Americans, with all their ideals of human rights, enlightenment and democracy.

Who do you really wish to lead the world?

If this continues, the world that China will create is the Corona world, that is pretty dark and bleak, but that is how it is going to be.

A world where faults and covered up, where saving face is more important than millions of lives, and where the state breathes lies.

Are we really ready for that, or are we going to turn that development around?

I vote for the last.

G-d bless the will to be honest in a situation, where the trend is to support the lies.

I have not commented on the running discussion of the Corona virus, due to the simple fact, that I am not a doctor, so I have no knowledge of how to treat a disease.

But I have a lot of reflection of the POLITICAL impact of the virus.

Let us have a look on what works, and what does not work with the Corona virus.

First what works?

A well coordinated, efficient internalization of those infected with the virus.

Each country that manages to actually isolate those with the virus, and putting them in quarantine manages to reduce the risk. It is quite basically a matter of finding the culprits, and putting them in isolation.

How do you do that?

First of all, it is a matter of local tradition. South Korea uses AI and IT, China uses draconian laws and so does Denmark.

But the mission is essentially the same; find the infectors and isolate them.

My point is, there may be different ways of doing things, but please think about the human cost. Is it ok to lock the doors of those infected, or could you put them into isolation in other ways? Maybe finding people who are infected does not have to be draconian, but could be done through intelligence and skill?

Point being, if we lose our humanity in a situation where it is most needed, it may not be the best way to think.

This does not mean, that we should be naive, just that just because a tool is severe does not make it necessarily efficient. Smart tools are often much better, since they are targeted and much more efficient.

G-d bless the will to be smart about these things.

We have to understand what human rights are, where they came from, to really use them in this modern world.

They came from the French Revolution, but more precisely, they came from Voltaire and some of the experience he had with law.

The story is like this.

Voltaire was a law student, so he really understood law. Add to this, he was a Platonic, Socratic idealist, that really understood the importance of law.

Remember human rights are not just universal laws, they are LAWS.

So to understand human rights, we need to understand, that we essentially support the idea, that law, that is judges, the police and so on are an integral part of society. In other words, it is essentially a conservative perspective.

Voltaire had a very nasty experience in his time, he was a Socratic like me, so he criticized the society. This earned him a lot of problems, like me, so he had to flee his country.

But at the core of some of his experience was the accusation against him by a noble, that was ABOVE the law.

This individual could use the courts as he pleased.

Effectually tearing down the impartiality of the law system.

Human rights is the idea of Voltaire, that if we all are linked to law, we win the freedom from not having to worry about injustice.

If law reigns supreme with uncorrupted judges, we all are free from the rule of the strong.

That is, we are not forced to live in a society, where the strong supresses the weak.

That is justice in a platonic and thus French Revolution perspective.

If we put this at the side of globalism, that preaches open borders, what does that imply?

It implies, that you cannot have freedom unless there is order by the judges based on human rights.

If we forget this essential learning, then the system of human rights fall apart.

Then we are forced to live under the yoke of the strong. The criminal, the tyrant.

Fighting for a free world, based on law is the essence of American unity.

Because it all makes us equal despite of difference in color.

G-d bless the will to have human rights.

According to Voltaire, there are two things that is needed, to make something great. It has to be simple, and it has to be natural.

It is pretty funny, I mean mr. Trump went on in the election to claim that he wanted to make America great again.

But what is that, making America Great.

As Voltaire sees it, it must be a simple thing, and then natural.

When Barack and I fought for Obamanism, we made a claim for American ideology. That is that we fight for humanistic democracy.

That is simple, that is natural, and therefor that is what makes the US so special.

It is the core values of the US, following those core ideas, will propel the US to be as great as it has always been.

Being the valiant light of Democracy upon that hill, that is what makes America Great.

Understanding what that is, that is what is the issue and the task of anyone that wants to make great again. My claim being, that Americas virtues lies with its core ideas.

Follow them, and you will lead the world.

G-d bless the will of the founding fathers.

There is a lot of wisdom in the US, and there is a lot of quality. Let us be honest about what the US is, and what we want it to continue to be.

It is a Protestant, democratic, humanistic country.

As an ideological idea, this is truly why we all love it, and why it is the IDEOLOGICAL leader of the world.

The world is good by the fact, that such a benevolent and humanistic power leads it.

Talking about the greatness in the US. It is not the material wealth or the technological development. These things are essentially just the effect of the IDEAS of the US.

Many American in the political world, especially in the Democratic Party loves Denmark. I get it, we are currently on the bleeding edge of political development. Or rather, I am.

But if I had to choose which country should lead the world, there would be no doubt in my mind, that it would be the US.

The idealism, the humanist spark, the dreams, the current development, that is good.

That is what should lead the world, not Denmark.

Point being, that the reason why I and so many other people around the world really respect and love the US. Is because it is a light on a top of a hill.

Don’t forget that, it is not Denmark that has all the best virtues and values, it is you guys.

I only happen to agree with you, because I am a platonic humanist like yourselves.

May G-d bless the United States of America.

We need something, that will propel this election on.

Here is a take on it.

For a long time, we have been focused of what drives us apart, and not on what we have in common.

What do we have in common. Well there is one thing we all, from all corners of the world, have in common, a universal value; that is human rights.

Human rights have been dissolved into something I personally do not recognize very much lately. So we need, as I see it, to go back to basics, and have another look at what human rights and also, this includes of cause civil rights, do encompass.

It all started with French philosophers as Voltaire, that I happen to read these days. And let me tell you, he is SO inspiring.

What he did, was to look at rights as something universal. Something we can all have, but what is the basics of human rights? It is the freedom from tyranny.

To be free from oppression. This is THE idea about law. It gives the individual an attempt at being free from the haphazard will of tyranny and people who wish to put other people down.

It can be used in many areas of interest.

First and foremost it can be used to look at the freedom of the individual. Where does the state drive away the freedom of each citizen, and how do we ensure that this freedom is upheld. Here of cause we have a long and proud tradition in the US, to ensure that each individual has the ability to ensure his or her own freedom. That is THE idea that the valiant troops of the republic brings to the shores of the oppressed.

Then there is freedom of expression, that has been a huge issue here in Denmark. We are right now making a kind of ghastly monument in Denmark, my organization was, like Charlie Hebdo, gunned at by an Islamist five years ago. They even made a film about it.

But I think most important of all, freedom of looking however you want to look. Be it black, yellow green or white.

It doesn’t matter what you look like, we are all created equal under the grace of the spirit.

It doesn’t matter. We are all free, free from oppression and ridicule. Free to be who we are.

That would be the wise words of rev. Martin Luther King. To find freedom from opression through rights of each person of the beautiful republic of America.

G-d bless that amazing and happy country, may it live for another thousand years.

I read a lot about the French Revolution. I would be so bold to say, that I am a fanboy of the French Revolution. As others are fanboys of Apple or AC/DC, for me it is the French Revolution.

To me, a lot of the problems that we face today can be understood on the light of that amazing upheaval.

That was the time, where the CITIZEN, the CITOYEN was coined as a phrase of the new ideas of Voltaire, Rousseau and Eliphas Levi.

Reading Voltaire is a powerful glimpse into the world of the revolution, and it is extremely inspiring for me.

As he says; we are the light of the revolution the truth tellers and wielders of rationality.

This is the true core of human rights and humanism. The ability to see things as they are.

We try that, but more often than not, we fail in seeing the nuances and the truth of a situation.

We fall back on old ideas, instead of being truly progressive in the sense of finding new ideas.

True progressivism is taking bold steps in a new direction. But, as I see it, honoring the base of our ideas. Voltaire was the first true revolutionary, let us honor his quest for Democracy and enlightenment. Because without it, what we do is just participating in the mudslinging.

That is not humanism or enlightenment, that is just our stupid human nature doing whatever it wants.

Elevating ourselves to the level of true enlightenment is the quest of honesty, being simple in our understanding.

Trying to understand the world for what it is, and act accordingly.

G-d bless the will to be honest about the world as it is.

Now after Brexit, which was a good thing to my mind, and the truly difficult situation that the Democratic Party is in, we have to be sharp on our priorities.

First of all, we have to realize that there is a more nuanced picture on migration than just ‘all migrants are suffering victims’. In order to push through to a more sustainable and balanced view on the world, we need to see the details.

Let me give you a good example, that is firmly rooted in theory that I have done politically.

On one hand we have the Kurds, brave socialists, at the other hand we have Islamic state, vile islamists.

That is, they are both Sunni Muslims, but choose different paths on to how they view Islam.

One is truly all in on democracy, that other is not.

That is really the basis of the difference between our allies and our enemies.

The problem is, as I see it, we do not differentiate in the US or the UK.

Here we still see all Muslims as victims. They are not, some chose to bomb our cities, and do evil things. Others are heroes.

It is as rev. Martin Luther King prescribed. We are the ones, who support the society, try to blend in, be good citizens with rights.

But there are some, who chose to fight society to change into something that is wrong.

Understanding this difference is most important to me.

The same goes for the UK. There is the Anglican Church, that is truly universal and not racist. But there are things going on in and around some British cities, that is vile.

This balance is off cause most difficult to find. To be not racist, and at the same time accept that there is a true problem with Islamism, but that is just a fact.

Rev. Martin Luther King did not like Malcolm X, because his dream was to make a society where all were accepted. From little to big.

We have to follow in his footsteps.

G-d bless the will to be clear on these matters.

Now when Britain has become free, and then has to find itself in a new role in a world that has changed massively since the admission into the EU, new ideas have to be thought.

When the Roman empire fell, it took a long time for it to refind its true new role.

It went like this. After all the invasion of the vikings of that time, the central administration was kept in one piece not with regards to the political or the military infrastructure, but the faith.

As the two arms of the Roman empire vanished the church just kept on keeping on.

The good thing about this was, that the provinces that used to be a part of the Roman empire could still be inspired and helped in terms of civilisation, while as the direct control that, honestly was a yoke around the neck of many of the provinces, was removed. Thereby giving each province a much more free connection to Rome.

This model was so succesful, so that when the southern european states expanded in the 14 and 15 century, they took this model to the Americas.

It is still like that.

The same role could be one for the British empire. So that the influence and sway that London holds over the former parts of the empire is mainly through cultural development and the facilitation of cooperation.

This seems to be quite popular among the former colonies, to be a part of a wider commonwealth.

There is the fact, that the military wing of the British empire is still intact. So there is a possibility to bolster the support London could give around the world to allies with firepower as well. Some of the conflicts in China and in Africa are quite harsh, and should be supported by the military wing.

In this way, through culture and military support, the empire could slowly find its footing again.

It will never be controlled directly from Whitehall again, but a new more sustainable balance could be found. I mean, the Roman empire is still here 1700 years after it fell. Perhaps the British empire could do the same.

In other words, what we are doing now, is laying the groundworks for a development that will culminate in thousands of years.

It is this perspective that is truly scary and wonderful at the same time, so much potential, so much work to do.

But it is this mission, that truly calls for historical action.

A person living in this process will be hailed down through the next thousands of years as reformers and visionaries. Imagine that.

And g-d bless the Anglican Church, because the anglican church will be the most important frame around this development.

Well, finally we can actually do something in regards to the development of terrorism and the jihadis using the streets of London to wage their civil war.

Because, let us face it, that is what it is.

In this regard, there are some difficult issues we need to tackle and discuss.

Some years ago mr. Johnson got pretty unpopular in the press because he compared the peculiar headdress of a certain Muslim faith to letterboxes.

Point being, that that is not a part of a free western world.

The same could be said about waging jihad with a knife in the middle of the day. That is not, and should not be a part of Western civilization.

It may be ok in the streets of Kandahar, but it is not ok in London, go figure.

So what do we do?

Well, this is the time, we need to use our new acquired freedoms.

Before, we had a lot of trouble with the European Union in these issues, because they did not see the threat to Democracy that the islamists pose, but saw a threat to their own power.

These things are not necessarily the same, but often it is.

Be as it may, there was no real consequence for a jihadi waging war in the streets, because of the stalemate of power between parliament and Bruxelles.

This is not an issue anymore, we are free to follow a conservative course on this political issue.

So what will we do?

We start repatriating all the jihadis.

Some of them have citizenship, others not.

But to wage war against the democratic constitution as they are doing now, is not within the bounds of their citizenship. So if they do that, their citizenship should be taken from them.

In this way, they will never be let loose in the streets again.

They are free to go back to where they originally came from, essentially this is not our problem.

We have to be extremely tough on these issues, and this is something that works.

G-d bless the will to punish those who attack the weakest, bringing justice to those who despise Democracy.
