The sixth French Revolution is on its way. I have sought this for many years, and since it could not come from the top, perhaps this time it will come from the bottom.
I am a total fan of the original French Revolution. As I see it, this is the most important event in European history, ever.
In this revolution, the people rose to claim leadership, and freedom was once again thundering on the shores of the new Republic.
This feeling, the intent, the possibility was a massive win to Democracy, the birthright of all who are living up here in the North. Our system what was lost, and now back in a new and inspiring version. A combination of the classical ideas with the spirit of our ancestors, the Franks.
To make it better this time is truly difficult. But there are some things that can actually be improved on.
The one thing that was lost in the first French Revolution was the myths. The epic stories of Roland, Vercingetorix and the other French heroes of ancient times.
These stories may be stories, but at the core of the myths lie values, virtues and ideas that has been lost in translation.
Many today feel cut off from their French roots. This off cause is due to globalism, but it is also because the mythology of the French ancient heroes were not the focus of the first French Revolution.
This world of strong and noble men, women of courage, and heroes of the old, is a thing that must be refound again. The French thirst for a rennaessance not only in terms of freedom, but also in terms of selfworth. To feel French again with a sufficient understanding of that as something worth something.
National identity should not be based on negative things, but on the deeds of those ancient heroes be it woman of man.
Those grand spirits that sacrificed for France, in the dying sun they rose as grand defenders of France.
May that spirit find its way into the peoples of France once again.
The Brexit process is finally starting in earnest. I suppose it had to be tried, the attempt to get the EU to get an interest in the process from at sound perspective. But this has not been possible, whoever you are, a Brexiteer or a Remainer must simply realize this.
This leaves the process at the hands of the UK administration itself.
No deal is being prepared, it is the only viable option right now. Another vote would not solve anything, repetition of the same vote would just be a repetition.
But to look at things from a positive perspective, this gives a true opening for Westminster and everybody in the UK to actually start discussing what comes next.
As I see it, the problems that the EU has left will be mounting, but with the right set of decisions, the UK has a chance at making itself a better nation.
There is no balance in the current priorities. The former British colonies suffer from a weak connection to the UK. The role of leading intellectual powerhouse is needed, not only for the UK, but for Australia, New Zealand, the US, Canada. Not as a leader in the material sense, but a leader in spiritual matters, intellectual matters and scientific matters.
But also some of the dependants of the UK in the former colonies needs to be supported, just to leave them to their own fate, is terrible.
We have seen how farmers across Africa has suffered tremendously, they need support legally and with resettlement, if they are too much in danger.
In other words, there is a host of unsolved problems across the anglosphere that needs to be addressed with diplomacy and problem solving intent.
In the UK there is a lot of problems as well. The most pressing is the problem with home grown terrorists.
Here again there is a huge discussion that will have to include the right as well as the left.
It is crucial, that this problem is solved in unity.
The solution that Barack Obama and I came up with, was to differ between those who support democracy, and those who are against democracy.
That is IS and IS like organizations are the enemies.
This gives room for democratic intended Muslims to be a part of the society. Giving Muslims a choice of integrating.
There are problems with migrants not only in terms of terrorism, but also crime.
This has to be adressed forcefully by the security apparatus.
Enemies of the state, should be treated as such. But liberal people on any colour should be treated on the same basis as everybody else.
Now, there is the fact, that England is England. And a renaissance in English, Scottish, Walisian as well as Irish identity is important.
People need to feel rooted in a positive sense.
Here in Denmark we have a very positive romantic idea about Danish culture, something we inherited from Goethe and Grundtvig. Vikings are not savage beasts in our understanding, but romantic heroes.
So a positive intent on the culture is very healthy to our experience.
So, let us disucuss the deeper issues, but let us be open for more than just the MPs of Westminster, let all that have a role and opinion be heard. The church, the queen, the unions, the fishermen, the workers, the students, the gays, the low and the high.
Let us try to find unity as his eminence rev. John Sentamu advises us so rightfully.
Politics need to be handled by people who know how politics works, otherwise things tend to go to a very bad place.
Politics work like this; people tend to see things in terms of a pendulum swings. Power swings in these days from right to left, to right, to left. In a manner of a pendulum.
I have worked with the left for a while, then the right wants to have power. People are not fooled, if the right puts of a left-leaning candidate, they will still elect the right leaning candidate.
That is the secret behind mr. Trump.
On a greater scale, we have had a concentration of power in the elitist top for 80 – 90 years. 200 years ago it was different, at the time of the French Revolution the people took power. Today the people have lost the power to the elite.
So now the pendulum has reversed, and people are willing to sacrifice to get the power back.
So whereas the ruling system emphasizes secrecy and opaque power handling, the people wants transparency and open decision making.
This trend follows the technological development. In the time of the French Revolution, that is the one 200 years ago, mass production of newspapers were slowly gaining ground, in fact, the press was the vanguard of the peoples claim at freedom. The newspapers are still called things like ‘Liberation’ ‘Pravda’ ‘Independence’, and so on.
But over the years, the independence of media has diminished, and at the height of state controlled media (the Nazies) were able to create an artificial bubble, that the people lived in. Mass production of media in the 21’ century was all, essentially, state control tools.
This truly changed with the advent of the internet. A media tool, that has Changed the world. First the Arab spring, then Maidan, then the European spring.
I know, that the state controlled media, and the power elites as such do not like what is happening. But at the core of it, it is truly healthy.
It is a renaissance of European ideas and thought. It is a new blooming of thought.
Already this has had a massive impact on the East and West. Unbeknown to the masses, the East and West has prospered with the new ideas coming out of the burning cauldron of Europe.
The US has had a massive comeback on the international scene. Burning through the roof with a booming economy, and a healthy state. It is going quite all right in the US. Russia is in a better position now than ever. Vast improvements of the society, people are essentially content.
The Middle East is on the way of peace.
So, all around us, the European reneassance has had a huge impact.
But due to the lethal grip the elite has on power here in Europe, and its unwillingness to loose its grip, Europe itself is still going down the drain.
It has come to the point, where the people itself is rising to meet the elite violently. As in all the other places, where the elite do not accept the peoples claim at power.
This brings violence.
Let’s hope, that the elite is in for a serious cup of tea, and an open discussion. Try to understand what is going on, and serve instead of rule.
G-d bless the willingness to be humble in this rising of new peoples power.
It is quite obvious, that the deal for Britain, as it stands, is no deal. Without having all the details, it seems quite obvious, that the deal that Mrs. May has crafted simply will not satisfy the British public. Well, as I see it, it is because it does not address what is really important; the needs of the remainers and brexiteers. It adresses the needs of the UK in opposition to EU.
So most of the true discussions that needs to be had; that is how do we find common ground between remainers and Brexiteers in the UK, has not even been begun.
Instead of taking the absolute arrogant EU into consideration, then perhaps it was time to initiate what is really the matter; how do ends meet in the UK now?
There are many essential discussion; what do we do with all the migrants in the UK being on the top of the list.
But also, and perhaps more positive; what is the new role of the UK in the world. There are many areas around the world that is dependent on the development of UK thought in terms of governance and inspiration. How do we take a more constructive role in this area.
There are trade deals to be made, and perhaps a reneassance of British thought, government, ideology and spirit.
In order to survive, you need be alive and fight for your little spot in the sun.
A no deal will give you a chance to truly discuss what you want with your country. There are so many possibilities with the young generation wanting to do something with their lives.
So, as I see it. It is not about us, we are not young anymore, it is about handing on a world and a system for our young to prosper in.
That should be the aim of the discussion.
Maybe have a bit of that that heady utopian brew. See the opportunities and the possibilities.
Make a sound frame for the next generation to inherit.
Be founding fathers of new state, that will carry those of less favorable disposition, but also give room for those strong in will and initiative.
Remember the poor, but also support those who will carry the country forward trough their ideas, hard work and spirit.
G-d bless the fair islands of the English, Walisian, Scottish and Irish.
I thought, that the Yellow vests were just unthinking, how wrong was I!
My original organisation SIAD is a part of the Yellow Vests, so I have followed the string of messages of the Yellow vests on my Facebook page.
They are my people! A French version of Bernie Sanders, a new perspective on workers rights and a new hope!
You know, I sat there and read the whole manifestation, and I couldn’t find a thing that I disagreed about. It is not a communist movement, it is a democratic movement. The people is trying to regain the power over the overlords of the elite.
In that sense, it is French Revolution classic. Beautiful, wonderful. I hope you succeed.
You even put a tear in my eye, so long have I fought for the peoples of Europe to wake up, and understand, that they are the true heirs of Europe, not some tin pot bureaucrat.
Now, can you listen to them, bureaucrats? Hear their words, give them space, accept their voice, or are you just going to try and shut it down.
I really hope, that this revolution will suceed. Not only for my own ambition, I want to suceed in this race against the clock of the workers dying out. But also because this hope!
Well, the Yellow vests seem to be very wrong on one thing. That, that it is the ‘Jews’ in pluralis that is responsible for all the difficulties in Europe right now.
I mean, one of the main points of the whole movement has been the point about going against the Marrakech treaty. I started that on my Danish blog, I am a Jew. So how can ‘all Jews’ be responsible for the difficulties we have right now.
It is simply not true. I do not know if Macron is a Zionist, Rothschild puppet. I believe he has some contacts with the Rotschilds. He does seem to be very close to the ideas of David Rothschild who is a left wing idealist.
But that does not take in all Jews into account.
You know the Chabad house that now is afraid of arson attacks in Paris just anoited me as a Jew. They even gave me a Tefillin, a prayer system.
I know, that people want someone easy to blame. Well, blame the EU system. It is their work that you disagree with. The forced migration, the abandonment of the workers, the low wages.
Blame them, and then some of the old school socialists, who have forgotten you.
But do not blame it on the Jews. I have just made a huge turnaround in the US, where the center point have been the workers. Rapid increase in the livelihoods of hard working Americans. Add to this the impetus to control migration.
I am a Jew.
Macron is a fool. I know, but if you would listen to some of my ideas instead of blaming all Jews, you would actually have a chance at making a better situation of what you are now witnessing as a melt down.
I will not be responsible for any of the violence. I believe in peaceful Change. But, maybe you should listen to the ideas, and put them into practice.
The ideas being, forced migration of islamists, and a renewal of the production basis of your country.
That is the medicine I have prescribed to the US, and it works.
G-d bless the Republic of France, and may it survive without too much bloodshed.
Ok, there is a very, very slim hope of getting out of the Brexit negotiations without making an absolute chaos out of it.
After listening to his eminence rev. John Sentamu, who has been a staunch remainer, I believe, that we should all remainers as well as brexiteers find some common ground.
That common ground is difficult to find, because the EU is doing all it can to fuel the dissent on the UK side. Giving demands of an absurd proportion having no motivation for a serious deal.
Then what to do.
First of all, it is about seeing the problems that the EU is in already. It is truly falling apart. You do not need to give in to an organization that is dying.
What you need to do, is to make a deal that would satisfy the true needs of those citizens who have come to Britain, and make a deal for them.
Because to cut to the essence. Remainers often vote remain, because they are afraid of a racist all white Britain. While as Brexiteers want independence, and fight radical Islam.
The true comprise then, is to accept the law abiding, democracy supporting new citizens, and at the same time fight the radical islamists.
This is really where the fault lines goes in the UK. The remainers see the EU as a protection against racism, xenophobia and so on and so forth.
All the other discussions are not really important, since the EU is falling apart anyway.
So a ‘no deal’ should really care about the discussion who can stay in the UK, and who cannot.
That is the bottom line for the people in the UK.
However, to push the EU bureaucrats even further is not really a good thing. They are already desperate, things are falling apart for them. It may be their own fault, and be due to lack of leadership success. But anyway, they are hard pressed, so another catastrophe would come in very negatively.
Therefor my advise is to make the draft of the ‘no deal’ in the UK, and then, without much fuss, and respect for the dying Eurocrats, just present it, and say that that is how things are going to be, take it or leave it.
If you promise not to make much fuss about it, hopefully the Eurocrats can get on with other things, and try to solve some of the much harder problems they have inside the EU.
Be kind to the falling empire, you know how it is to lose an empire, it is painful.
G-d bless the will to see things in a light of compassion and sincerity.
Well, as I predicted, the effect of the lack of reform in the EU system starts to destroy the system.
You can perhaps stem the flow with violence for some time, but the fact of the matter is, that the reason why the people are rebelling is because they see no other choice.
As long as there was hope of a peaceful solution to all the problems they have, they were willing to wait it out. But now when all hope seems lost, they start to react violently.
Marie Antoinette couldn’t understand why people didn’t just eat cakes instead of bread the story goes. Well, today the EU elite does not understand the desperation of the citizens.
In the lifetime of the EU, Europe went from top of the world to a third world country. That is pretty fast, and it is only due to lack of vision and ability to act in the top of the hierarchy of the EU.
The ideas are old, the solutions are molded, and all the fickling behind the backs of the peoples are starting to be realized by said peoples.
You can fool some people some of the time, but you cant fool all the people all the time.
So, as the huge ship Titanic sank after the hubris of the builders, so will the EU.
I just hope, that it will happen without too much bloodshed.
That is vain hope, I know, but at least that is my sincere wishes for the future.
Things are going down the drain, and I cannot help you now.
Only the people will decide what to do. Not me.
G-d bless the will to do good in a difficult situation.
The Christians in the Middle East are faring much better today than ten years ago, what has happened?
Well, for starters, I believe, that we have come to understand the depth of the historical situation. When the US went to Iraq twenty years ago, we did not see the situation clearly in the sense, that we have allies in the Middle East and we have enemies.
We saw everybody as potential democratic voters. This is wrong to me. Not all in the Middle East wants to be card holding members of a humanistic democracy, only some do.
The allies we have though, primarial the Christians, who were allies the last time we were there, in the time of the crusades we overlooked and did not help.
In a Middle East frame of mind, they are still our allies, whether we acknowledge it or not. They are our friends.
So by not acknowledging it, we put our friends in harms way.
Now, I do not hold a view of the Middle East as a place of war, on the contrary, I see it as a place of peace. So, we should not make attempts to make more strife or occupy land. This area is the birthplace of civilization, we should respect it as such.
That is why, I have proposed a policy of peace, but with a special attention to our friends the Copts, the Assyrians and all the other minorities of the Middle East.
This has worked to my surprise, more than I thought, and though the Christians are now still in danger, the conditions they are living under are improving.
I am still here, I see what is going on. And I want to thank all that have made this new process of peace possible.
The Middle East is and should be a place of peace, for all religions to live side by side.
G-d bless the will to do good, have good thoughts and have good actions.
We are nearing the end of the Brexit negotiations, one way or the other. As a staunch Brexiteer, these are my reflections so far.
First of all, the people of the UK has been so mired in the discussion of Brexit, that several world changing events have gone over their heads. First and foremost the fact, that the EU is crumbling from within. It would be a bit of a paradox, if the UK was to make a plan with a system that simply did not exist anymore.
It is crumbling on many fronts. Italy is negating the influence from Bruxelles, the East European countries have simply stopped implementing laws that they do not like, in France, Belgium and the Netherlands, where the EU rule is strongest. There is no political opposition of note, except from a few muffled voices, but the people have gone to the streets, and they are threatening to kill the leaders outright. This in a situation, where the police seem to side with the rebels.
That is the EU you are dealing with. A walking corpse essentially.
Fast forward the development ten years, how do you think things will be then?
To look at the tendencies, there will be two developments. One will be within the parliamentary structure, the other will be open rebellion.
I have betted on the parliament development, because open rebellion tends to be very violent, and will, to put it bluntly be the decapitation of heads of state. Macron is in such a danger right now, so is the EU parliament in a few years.
War is to be avoided at all costs to me. War is the mother of all evil.
But back to the UK again. Since the EU is crumbling, the whole discussion on Brexit is more and more meaningless. I supported Brexit, because I believe, that the citizens of the UK are entitled to a vote themselves, and honestly, cutting the anchorage to a sinking ship is a good thing to do. Otherwise you will yourselves be dragged down.
At the other hand, there are a lot of people who have migrated to the UK who are not originally from the UK. Many of them loyal to the state and parliamentary democracy. These should find a warm and welcome home.
We have the problem with those who are islamists. They are, for better or worse enemies of the state, they should be repatriated due to the conflict they seek.
They are many, and they are threatening the cohesion of the society, and openly make threats of violence. They also do violence.
So get over with it, make the best deal you can. But make sure, that the Brexiteers are on board. Otherwise it will be seen as a remainerdeal, and people will rebel.
G-d bless the will to see things from above, and get things done. Thank you.
Europe is burning once again. It seems to me, that the burning of Europe is a tradition that every third generation has to contribute to, and therefor repeat. Again, and again, and again.
On one hand, this time around, is the mass of migrants who rebel because of their living conditions and general apathy. They feel like victims. At the other hand there is the worker communities who are slowly but surely being decimated by the flight of production and because of migration into their general areas.
This again turns into a bloody ideological fight between Democrats and Islamists.
Now, if you cannot see a revolution in its infancy, then you should go down, drink a cool aid, and demand the money you payed for school back.
The situation the Socialdemocrats have created in Europe by forgetting the workers and supporting minorities only, has created a powder keg of revolutionary dimensions.
The attempt to do something about it has been too vain and too little. The Marrakech treaty, that I have backed a discussion about, is simply too vain.
What we need to do is, mass repatriation of the new proletariat out of Europe, and into a country where we try and help that country on its feet.
This has not happened, on the contrary, the migration is tacitly supported. That is, tacit actions are not possible in a network society as ours. People are in the know.
I have worked for a peaceful transition from this situation to a less dangerous, it has worked in the US, in Israel and in the East. But Central Europe is too mired in self loathing, inefficient bureaucracy and a desperate attempt to prop up the European Union. I mean, what is the point of making a Union if the effect is, that there is no more Europe as a result?
Things are slowly spinning out of control, and my best advice is. Each and every European country should take control in their own hands, and start pushing a repatriation agenda. Not in small numbers, but in huge numbers.
If not, then we end up in civil war, Balkans all over again.
This may seems harsh right now, but the alternative is a hundred year war, where Europe will change once again. No more Germany, France, Spain or Italy, but whole new countries of different size and affiliation.
We also risk adding to the fuel of a global war between Islam and the West.
The only true solution is adamant, decisive and forceful action to defuse the situation. Anything else is just fanning the flames.
G-d bless the will to see the magnitude and difficulty of the situation.
The conflict between east and west is increasing. One of the hits of lately in Western culture has been Jordan Peterson and his critique of Marxist thinking. It has been a huge success in terms of attention, but I have a feeling, that it truly needs a deepening to really hold a lasting impression.
Don’t get me wrong, the extremety of the current academic institutions in favor for Cultural Marxism is stupid to my mind. Not only because cultural Marxism is stupid, but also because it actually hinders a deeper discussion on the pro and cons of Marxism.
I am a midleaning conservative. I believe, that Marx got a few things right, among them progressive tax, and a state that secures the wellbeing of the weakest parts of society. I work as a caretaker of a sick child payed by the state. That is a good thing.
But there are numerous things that I dislike about Marxism, the collective taking over the role of the family is wrong to me. The family should be the cornerstone of society. Religions and spirituality should also have a sincere and great role in society. Add to that, the Stalinism of dictatorship is wrong. A serious and good state should be an open democracy.
This model has worked quite well in Eastern Europe, where it is now the dominant idea. People are happy, things work, and society progresses.
This holds as well for Western Europe to some degree, where family values, the importance of education, the significance of the village as a community is in rapid increase of peoples acceptance and respect.
But that does not mean, that I hate Marx, I just disagree with him on a lot of points. The same goes with Marx, he did not accept the ideas of Hegel, but I mean, he was essentially a Hegelian in his worldview.
In that sense, I believe, that a sound continuity in thought is important. Just throwing out the baby with the bath water is not good. But a sound Change in the development of society is important.
From time to time I fall upon songs that really makes me cry and gives me faith in a much better world.
As a Jew, with all it curtails of faith in giving and not taking, seeking justice where that is ever possible. Sometimes you hear a song from a fellow Jew, that in a way tells about all that there is good in the world. Gives you hope, lifts your spirit in a world that seems to fall apart around your ears.
It happens rarely, but it happens. This is one of songs that calls for unity and not division, and holds dear to the belief, that there is a world out there where people hold hand in hand, and does not divide. Keeps people as one.
Please listen to this beautiful song, perhaps it will lift your spirit as well
It seems to me, that the Israeli defenseforces are slowly gearing up for a final showdown in and around Gaza.
These are my recommendation.
1. Get green light from Trump
2. Make sure, that the process for a relocation of the Gazans is as humane as humanely possible. Avoid bloodshed at all costs. One thing is of cause the ethical part of war, it should always be as humane and unharming to all civilians as possible. But there is also a strategic reflection. The Gazans will try to play the media with pictures of small children getting slaughtered. So we have to avoid that. If they fabricate some pictures themselves, which they will undoubtedly do. Be ready for a gruelsome fact check of the picture, and show that it is just what we refer to as Palliwood.
3. Make plans for the land that is left behind the Gazans. I have proposed a land that is administered by the Israeli government, but given out freely to all the faith communities of the world. Without regard for Israels enemies. I mean, make a place everybody can make a church, synagogue or mosque in the holy land. We are supposed to be the peacekeepers of the holy land, being impartial to all the different faiths, thereby making peace.
4. Give this win to Trump if possible, he deserves it.
Strength and faith are two things that go hand in hand. If you have no faith you are weak, if you have a strong faith, well that makes you strong.
That is essentially why religion, political principles and politicians with a strong faith in the core principles of the nation is very important.
That is one of the reasons the European Union is so dangerous. The idea was to make a union like the American union. Well, if it had happened and it had succeeded, then it could have been a good idea. All the ritual and ideological basis of a union is in place.
But, and that is the core argument, it did not work. There are many reasons to that, among them a certain tendency to live in darkness and rule through a set of veils.
In that way, you do not inspire faith in the citizens, you at the other hand repulse them. Evil is evil.
I stretched out my and and offered help, this was not accepted, so the EU continues downward on its destructive spiral. If there is one thing a philosopher, especially a humanistic philosopher is to a humanistic organisation, it would have been faith.
But, anyway. Since then, the downward fall and ultimate destruction of the European Union threatens to tear down the entire Europe with it.
At one hand it refuses to give the nations the ability to curry favor and build up faith in themselves, at the other hand it does not have the ability to make people believe in it.
So it is the worst of both worlds, it does not build faith, and it hinders people finding faith in something else.
This is really why Europe is getting weaker and weaker.
My solution to this, was to try and make a gliding transferral of power from the EU institutions to the national parliaments. At the same time, I have given the politicians a beautiful, strong humane philosophy that targets the right enemies, that of the islamists.
The islamists want theocracy we want democracy.
Imagine the beauty of a Democratic world with strong pillars of family and faith.
That is what I think we should make, and I hope the politicians can see that they are also the leaders of this quiet revolution.
Go home, look at the wonderful nations you all have as an inheritance. Support it, rebuild it, fight for it, sacrifice for it, and you will see succes coming you way. Admiration, acceptance, heroes welcome.
The European Union claims to hail from the same ideals that I hail from. That is a Humanistic, Democratic worldview. Ok, I am a conservative, so I hold things a religion, family and security higher than most politicians. But at the core we agree.
Then how come that I have been so opposed to the EU?
Well, yesterday I had a dinner with one of my old friends. He is what you would call a city dwelling humanist. In fact he is a leading intellectual when it comes to internet and the discussion on the internet and democracy.
We grew up together at the same university and met each other again as teachers at a business school.
He called me the black sheep of the family, and I retorted by saying that I believe that I am the real deal. After all, my own family founded the humanistic party here in Denmark, and we have been humanists ever since.
Now, this is not to say anything about my good friend, he is very brilliant and a good intellectual.
But it kind of struck me after we separated, that that is really the discussion on the old guard and the new guard.
The development that I have sought is truly avant-garde in my view, but defines me as a black sheep by must mainstream humanists.
Who is right, me or the mainstream?
Well time will show, but if I can humbly point to the devastating effects to the security of the citizens of Europe as a consequence of the European Union as a problem. Well at least we can perhaps agree on that? Or the rising discontent of the identity politics, or the awful way that Mrs. May was treated but the EU bureaucracy, how dare you treat her like that?
Humanism is about seeing things in a humane and true way. If you just seek to impose your way on the world, then you sit in the wrong position.
It is about seeing the people as your ruler, not the other way around.
Serve not rule.
G-d bless the will to do good in this world, and not just think about yourself.
The Brexit negotiations is a mess. Mrs. May has not had the best of luck getting a deal that the conservative Brits really like. It has not been easy, since the Bureaucrats of the EU have not been cooperation very much. But at the other hand, Mrs. May has not been the best of negotiators.
I like May very much, we share the same basic ideology, that of a midleaning conservatism, but there is no denying, that the deal that she has made wont fly.
The consessions are too big.
Now, this is, by all means, a pivotal historical moment of Great Britain, and to be honest, it has all the hallmarks of British independence written all over it. It reminds one of Magna Carta and fight with the Roman church.
Brits have very bad experience with the rule from Europe, and this time around it has been the same.
All I can say is: I have been a Brexiteer from the beginning. I supported Mr. Cameron, and I believe he did right in giving the Brits a choice, then I have supported mr. Johnson and his striving.
We are looking at a shift of power in the leading echelons of the Conservative party, it is truly needed. Not only because of the difficulties of Mrs. May, but also because otherwise Tory rule will be given away to hard core socialists.
That again is not a very good idea. Power rests best in the Middle, not on the fringes.
One of the main problems of humanism, is the fact, that it does not have a clear credo.
Then again, off cause enlightenment as represented by the Statue of Liberty and the Socratic fight of Voltaire, is a centrepeace idea.
But the human understanding and caring of the individual does not really have a credo.
In my studies of the roots of humanism, I have come across an ancient paper, that must have been at the hands of the Rosicrucians, the founders of modern humanism.
It is an apocryphical treatise on Jewish magick, to be specific the magick of Solomon the witch king.
You can discuss the ideas of that, but attached to the treatise, there is this beautiful little allegory over the cabbalistic tree of life.
Cabbalism being one of the roots of humanism, and treatise being an obvious source to the Rosicrucians, it makes sense, that this piece of ethics is founding father material.
I won’t change it, but just post the ideas as I found them. So that you yourself can analyze it as you wish.
Some of the things that struck me when I read it, was the fact, that we are doings so much wrong these days.
Just take the intellectual inertia we are in, that is wrong. Or our low birthrates, that is wrong. The life that is supposed to be the result of humanism, the flourishing, the happiness is not there. We are going in the wrong direction.
We need that gospel of joy to be reignited.
For the Christians who are reading this material, this is some of the basic ideas of both Judaism, Christianity and Islam, so it should be safe ground.
What we need to usher in is not a decade of death, but a decade of life.
G-d bless the will to see life flourishing.

As i understand it, there is a deep tiredness of the problems in and around Israel when it comes to the endless attacks of Hamas and its affiliates.
This is off fully understandable, the constant conflict is unnerving and really dangerous.
Never to be able to live in peace is stressful.
So, as things evolve and peace has settled, more or less, over the Middle East, the issue with Gaza needs to be addressed somehow.
The problem about the flying bombs is the fact, that it is too expensive to develop a laser guided system as Davids sling to counter it.
The kite bombs have the same effect as the crude rockets, but it is much cheaper to produce and so it can be made endlessly.
What we could do however, is to separate Gaza from Israel.
The basic problem is, that Gaza is so close to Israel. This gives the opportunity of the Gazans to make simple, inexpensive weapons of mass destruction and use them.
So we should find somewhere else to house the Gazans. Just moving them a hundred kilometer will do the trick.
The reason why we have not been able to move them, is because the specter of apartheid hung over the international political discourse. Moving people away from each other was seen as something wrong.
Now, after South Africa has tumbled into absolute horror for the poor white people there. It seems that the problem was not Apartheid in the first place, but the animosity between blacks and whites.
Mixing blacks and whites does not solve the problem, it just displaces the problem, so that is happens on smaller scale inside the country of South Africa.
Keeping people from each other’s throat was maybe not such a bad idea after all.
Don’t get me wrong, the hateful anti black ideas of nazism and a part of South Africa is off cause wrong.
But Keeping people from getting on each other’s throat is not a bad idea.
It makes sense.
So, after the downfall of Mr. Nelson Mandelas dreams of a rainbow democracy, that I really believed was a good idea, the idea of keeping people away from each other’s throat has a comeback.
This means, that if we can somehow find a way to move the Gazans away from the Israel’s border, we can stop the conflict.
We shouldn’t be rash or inhuman, but compensate for the lost property.
Maybe find somewhere else the Gazans could live.
Just make sure, that there is a border between Israel and Gaza that is so long, that the kitebombs cannot work as a weapon.
The EU is slowly deteriorating, each individual country is loosening its allegiance, and it has even come to the point, where some countries threaten with military conflict, if the EU bureaucracy does not respect its priorities.
The drama of the UK is just one small brick in a larger picture of the downfall of the EU.
As the leading intellectual of Europe, it is off cause with the greatest worry, that I follow the negotiations, and the difficult process of disintegration.
Please understand, I am a humanist, my idea of a world is that of peace and understanding, not of conflict. That is why the downfall of the EU worries me a lot, I am a afraid that we will enter devastating conflict as when the last great power lost its grip over Europe, that of the Vatican.
In the fights between the Vatican and the Protestants, we had centuries of bloody warfare that effectuately stopped with the French rennaissance and humanists of Tubingen.
To counter the folly of the last decade, I have tried to envision a philosophy, that is wholly humanistic and at the same time both peaceful and nationalistic.
My idea about what we should enter into, as we shed the shackles of that last hundred years, is a peaceful cooperation on a national level.
The world is much smaller now than in the 21 century. When Hitler fought his war, the whole world was in the hands of Europe. Now we are just a partner among many. So the infighting does not make much sense.
But a central coordination is not how Europe works, it works, and should work, on a local, national level.
There is no doubt, that the European Union will survive in some form, but it will not survive as a all powerful entity as it is now.
One way or another it will have to shed its power.
At the end the day, it is not about my ideas or the power of the European continent. It is about the wellbeing of the citizens.
The citoyen as the battle cry went in the French Revolution.
Remember that, the citizens, and see their needs as your own, and serve, not rule. Please, do not make the same mistakes as the Roman church did when it tried to rule with flames, or the Russians, all it ends up with is war.
The Europeans want their freedom, and they are both entitled to it, as well as the fact it is their continent. It is not mine, it is not the politicians, it is not the military’s, it is not the capitals, or the banks or the agriculture’s, its the peoples.
G-d bless the will to see this conflict through with the aim of peace.
Humanism is a strange thing. Being a true believer in humanism, I believe, that the essence of humanism needs to be treated on an enlightened basis.
The problem however is the fact, that humanism begun as an apocryphal ideology and to some degree still is hidden.
I mean, there are all these humanistic symbols in the US, UK and France all over. Egyptian sphinx, pyramids. Washington D.C. is one big Egyptian planned city.
Yet there is no temple there apart from the memorial temples.
That is both a strength and a weakness, a strength because then the persecution and ridicule is often not so strong, but a weakness because the education systems do not support a development of humanistic thought.
It is STILL the realm of independent philosophers as me.
I mean, I feel pretty alone trying to support and help all the humanists, and I do not see any other humanist philosophers popping up.
Maybe it was time for the great humanistic schools to make a little room for the humanists?
Yes I know, that we are strange magickal creature from the dark of society. That we do not hold academic ways to be of any real value, trying to find the academic truths outside the normal ways and not inside the peer reviewed world of academia.
I love to read ancient hermetic litterature and love digging into magickal treatises. But that is what hermetism, cabbalism and thus humanities really are.
Somehow academia has forgotten its true roots, and seem to keep churning on smaller and smaller bits of unnourishing fatless food.
The truth is, that there goes an unbroken line of thought from here over the rennaisance, through the Roman and Hellenic world back to Babylonia and ancient Egypt.
We are still founding our ideas on the work of the mystery temples of Heliopolis. Still the light of the spirit Ra is at the heart of our society.
Why not recognize these ideas, and support them even in broad daylight?
Maybe that is what we need, an antidote to the superficialities of the modern world, a recognition of the ancient sailor as he is unmoored in the raging seas.
Pull him in, put him on a throne, so that we can learn from his wisdom of the blackened seas.
To be honest, I have been very critical towards totalitarian Marxist trends. I truly, from the bottom of my heart, hate it. I hate the idiocy, the complacency of the populace, the utter slavery and the moral deprecation.
What I do like however, is a free, humanistic society, as envisioned by the founding fathers.
In that sense, I really agree with most Americans.
This leads us to the discussion on identity politics and the cultural marxists who are really winning in academia these days they say.
How do I feel about them, I mean, they are truly Marxists, and I do not like Marxists very much.
To be honest again, I off cause hate their enemies as much as they do. Racism, nazism, white supremacy and so on, is absolutely abhorrent, not only abhorrent, it is truly wrong and does not bring a good soceity in any way.
I also do not dislike minorities, I believe we should protect minorities. Jews, gays, gentiles are to be protected by the commonwealth.
So where do I actually not like the moderne feministic identity politicians?
Well for starters, I do not believe, that race even exist. There is no such thing as a black race or white race. We are all equal in the eyes of G-d. So fighting against white or for blacks is not a good idea.
We are all equal, we should be treated as equals.
Then I think, that we should protect minorities, be we should not treat minorities as majorities. The majority is a family based, democratic society that wakes up in the morning, don his boots and go to work. When he comes home, he picks up his beautiful wife, kisses her, and helps his kids with their homework.
In that sense, we should protect the majority as well, or rather truly support the good ways of the majority.
I believe, that all this identity politics at one side of the poiltical spectrum, and that racial hate on the other side of the spectrum is what tears the society asunder.
We should not be unequal or fight because we are different, but see where we meet as equals.
Diversity is not good, unity is good.
What we need to do, is to support the good ideas of the founding fathers, and see, that all Americans understand and appreciate the beautiful and wonderful ideas that founded the United States of America, the freedom, the enlightenment but most importantly the human and spiritual understanding of each persons worth.
I have thought quite a bit about the Pittsburg massacre of Jews in a synagogue, here is my take on it.
First of all loosing your children or your parents in a senseless attack is devastating, it does not go away, but continues the rest of your life. The hole that is left in your family can never be filled, it just stays there.
Then comes the doubt, the guilt on your own part. Could I have done something else, what is my part in this and so on.
But what we should do, is to turn it around, and see it as it is. It is just another scapegoat attack. We Jews are collectively held responsible for a the action of a few stupid and destructive Jews.
It is like this, wether we like it or not.
On the political right, where I am also, there is a rising in Nazism. These people hold George Soros, and other jews, responsible for the open borders policing and the post nazism ideology of cultural Marxism and the like.
They blame it on the Jews, because some of the leading figures are Jews.
I believe, that their criticism is right, but the conclusion is totally absurd. There is no Jewish conspiracy, but just political ideas and trends resulting in the possible death of the West.
It has gone too far, the entirety of the West is in danger of collapsing.
Here I believe, as a Danish Jew, that we help and try to turn the tide.
In that sense, we, the Jewish Conservatives, are the most important to counter this development, because we are Jews, and we agree that West should not die.
This proves, that there is no Jewish conspiracy, but, as always, some Jews believe this, other Jews believe something else.
None of us claim to talk for all Jews, well we have things on common of cause, that is a culture and a descendance, but politically we disagree, very much.
Turn it around, then we have an option here. My movement is actually, as strange as it may sound, the best bet Israel has for existential defense. If it dies, the West may just turn against Israel, and then that project is very difficult to sustain.
So please, help me, support me the best you can, I am your best bet.
G-d bless the hapless victims of the Pittsburg attack, we remember you, and feel with you. Losing your loved ones are always a catastrophe, but at the end of the day, you will meet them again some day, maybe when you go to G-d.
Having founded something, and seeing it to the end politically is pretty awesome. When I was a bit younger, it was all fire and brimstone, now I suppose that I am a bit older and more wise.
The youth is a time of no compromise, while as getting older one realizes, that lifes taken is not worth an idea.
If the idea is not strong enough in its essence to sway people to a good course, then it is not worth fighting for.
I was a revolutionary, and some of those who follow me are still revolutionaries, but now I am not so certain.
Perhaps that comes with age, having children yourself, witnessing the horror of war.
The inherent value of life cannot be bargained away for a simple trophy of this or that kind.
It is all a matter of making a better world, progressing it with the least amount of bloodshed.
Bloodshed there will be, and when we Change things, conflict is there, obviously.
But, hail to those who try to find a way of peace in this conflicted world.
We live to serve, not to abuse our power. And we know nothing, only a thin sheet of knowledge is wrapped around our minds.
At the end of the day, discussing our own motives and trying to find the most optimal way, is what it is all about.
That is the way of the humanist. Not to doubt truth or a better world, but to be honest about the ever shifting sands of the ideas of the world.
Things Change, and thus we have to change with it.
Now, we are in my paradigm, a paradigm resting on humanity. That is a rare thing, more often than not, we are resting in a place of barbarism and destruction.
But at the end of the day, there is such a thing as goodness and honesty in this world, of friendship and loyalty, of solidarity and equality.
It is there, the difficult thing is to realize it in this world where ideas are either wrought with stupidity or ignorance.
Wisdom or the love of wisdom, the philosophia is the answer.
G-d bless the will to do good in a world where evil is in abundance.
As we are nearing the deadline for the next election, I believe it is important to remember what we are fighting FOR.
Fighting against something is not good, fighting for something is good.
One of the things that I have claimed is the serious problems facing socialism is when it forgets its roots.
There are many things, that I do not like about Marx, but I have never had anything against workers.
In fact I believe, that abandoning the workers in modern socialism is what caused the problems in the first place.
I grew up in a poor workers community, and we had our flaws I admit that. In many ways, we were naiv and didn’t know how the wheels of the world turned around. But we really did have one thing going, that of solidarity and family.
The community I grew up in was quite egalitarian, there was very little hierarchy, and everybody helped everybody. Even the poor people living on the streets was a part of the community.
We had pride, pride in our ability to create with our hands. Craftsmanship was something revered and respected.
Today socialism seems to be something about that I do not like someone. That was not what I grew up with, then it was about liking someone, be a friend and be loyal.
Maybe that feeling of solidarity, family and friendship was something to keep?
The point being, that if we throw away our classstruggle then we lose also our identity.
G-d bless the will to be strong in faith and help the community.
When humanism was invented, or rather continued, by the German philosophers of Tubingen four hundred years ago, they knew, that one day their work would eat itself up.
They set out to create a world of brotherhood and humanity. Giving birth to what would end up as human rights.
Their vision was steeped in Kabbalism and Hermeticism, harking back to the ancients of Judaism and Egypt.
Now their work has come full circle, as they dragged Europe out of the misery of the Middle Ages into the world of enlightenment, their children FIGHT to make a world of chaos and destruction, with the rape of the young girls of Europe as an “inevitable” sacrifice, sacrificed on the pyres of multiculturalism and new age death of political correctness. What have we done us secret hermetics, to spring such demonic offspring. How can it all end up in the sacrifice of what is most precious to us, our own children to a philosophy of such vanity, tyrannical inclinations and utter disregard of life?
Why is it, that our children cannot see, that their actions are in direct constrast to what we envisioned?
Why, why, why have we ever spawned such awful children. Have they no conscience, no intelligence, no FEELING for the suffering of young children. HOW can the ruined life of a child ever be a price worth paying for a philosophy, that can hardly even be described as philosophy, but rather a collection of unintelligible ideas with no inherent consequence or positive aim.
Our own children have dragged our work into pieces because of their arrogance and idiocy. Claiming to know, but being truly just children of ignorance. What do they know of the great father of humanism Akhenaten, who wanted us to be a nation of families and supporters.
What do they know of giving and not taking?
They do not know of such things, but keep on prowling around in the deepest abyss of ignorance, quenching the light of the ancients in their arrogance.
When will they stop the suicide? When will they ever turn around and truly understand the humanity of each precious individual? The sanctity, they drive for goodness instead of their own fallacy?
As the old hermeticists of Tubingen, I abhor the current world, with its destruction and endless suffering. But I hold true to the belief, that truth will set us free.
The time has come for England to rise once again. As in the times of olden, where the knights threw themselves without regard for their safety into the fray, once again the mighty warriors of England must rise.
My grandfathers family come from Angels. In fact, that is where my family name Engberg comes from. It means, Meadowy hill.
In that sense, I believe, that I have a feeling for the Anglo Saxons, that is a bit more than just political affiliation. We are family.
From that point, this fight for a free Britain has been more than just a political process, for me, you know when I saw Tommy coming out of the jail, and greeting his children, I really fell a tear. Such a courageous man, sacrificing so much for his country coming home to his children, who are paying the highest prize, that brought tears in my eyes.
So from the deepest of my heart, with the most outspoken respect for that ancient place of meadows. Please rise, pick yourself up, straighten your back, have faith, understand that you are not alone. We are so many out here who support you.
That is the magic of your ancestral family picking you up, helping you, supporting you.
So RISE! England, and fight.
G-d bless the meadowy hills of England, and that includes myself.
Germany is in trouble, partly because of the ideas that I have given the great fatherland, and partly because the established elite seem to be stuck in a Frankfurterschool, Marxist thinking.
If you look at the ideas that Germany has given the world, the most dominant is actually Marxism, that still holds a huge part of the world in its grip, most dominantly China.
But there are a lot of interesting and wonderful thinkers in Germany, that the world has enjoyed. Most notable off cause Goethe, but others like Kant, Heidegger and Buber are all very great thinkers.
Lately Denmark has had the leading light in developing new ideas, but we owe a lot to Germany in our own development.
Grundtvig was inspired by Herder, Kierkegaard and Loegstrup both studied in Germany and so on.
Me, I recognize the debt I owe thinkers like Marx, Hegel, Buber and lately Habermas.
Germans are deep thinkers and the tradition is quite old and beautiful.
What I think is important for Germany, is to recognize the dichotomy between Hegel and Marx.
Hegel being the ultimate idealist, that is he believed that G-d is all, Marx being the ultimate materialist, that is there is no G-d.
Both were dialectics. That is, they see development at working from opposite to opposite.
This dichotomy is false to my mind. As above so below, as an old metaphysical proverb goes.
The material world is a reflection of the spiritual world in the sense, that life is spirit.
G-d is life.
As life is mixed up with the material word, we tend to get sucked into the material life, and thus loose our connection to the spiritual world.
We become lonely and isolated. Family is to reconnect to the spiritual realm.
Therefor as I see it, Germany needs to find a new balance between materialism and spirituality. The ‘G-tt mit uns’ is both a dialectic of the material world as well as the spiritual world.
For Germans to find themselves again, they need to refine their connection to G-d, but not to be as idealistic as Hegel, but inbetween.
G-d bless the will of Germans, and may the finally find themselves again.
Calling the philosophy I helped spawn Far right, is a criminal offense to all those who were before me, because it implies, that there are a nazi root at the core of my teachings.
You should be ashamed of yourself, and especially you should know, that those you tread upon are your own heroes.
When I started out in my early academic years, I studied history at university. There I wrote a report on the freedom fighters of the Second World War. My professor took to meet what was left of the old freedom fighters, at that time, some of them were alive, and still going around finding Nazies under every rock.
I became good friends with Per, who invited me home to his house, where I saw all the old posters of swastikas broken.
He was also your hero, because he was a Social Democrat.
I was a bit too young to really chip in on his fight, I was in my early twenties, but I did try a little. In my first internship, I was writing in a political magazine called PRESS, and even though Per had some stories about Nazies, they just didn’t believe me on what I said I could tell them about. Ok, I admit, that a very young guy seems to be the least probable in finding out stories about ancient Nazies in Germany, but that actually happened.
I am Jew ok? My own grandmother had to flee to Sweden under the Second World War, so there is absolutely no love lost for me to Nazies.
To be honest, I have met Nazies, and they actually often treat me pretty well. I suppose it is because we, today, have some of the same enemies, namely islamists, and we are both nationalistic.
But I have always given them a wide berth, and you know, looking in their eyes, you can see the coldness and death. There is no life behind those eyes, it is the touch of death to your soul to be a nazi.
Being a hopeless political nerd, I have encountered the footprint of Nazism many times. I was actually a very successful ideology in many ways, and many political parties was inspired by it. No least Stalin, that took the propaganda methods of Goebbels and perfected it, or whatever you call it. The Frankfurterschool is in a sense also a product of Nazism, because they actually took the idea of race, and turned it upside down. But just accepting the idea of race, is accepting some of the basic tenents of Nazism.
But to truly understand what drove Hitler, that disgusting beast, you need to see it from his own perspective. He was into magick. He had read Alister Crowley and madame Blavatsky. Two major figures within the magickal community.
That was what Hitler REALLY was, a dark prophet of evil. He had taken the worst perspectives of Aleister Crowley, who had a penchant for the devil, and then he used it in his political work.
He was, in his own mind, an agent of the fallen angel.
That is a powerful thing, but also, as we saw, utter destruction and evil.
At the core of what you are saying when you call someone far right, you call them the agent of evil and the devil. Because that was what Hitler was.
Now, when you look at spirituality, there is a very complex picture that emerges. There are so many paths to go down at.
But if you want to know what I wear around my neck, I will tell you. I wear a symbol of the angel Michael.
He is what guides me, and I believe that I will follow him.
THAT is what the new right is all about, protection, light, strength in conviction, and beauty.
Thus the exact OPPOSITE of Hitler. Because the archangel Michaels job is to fight the son of darkness, not help him.
The European Union is fast traveling into conflict. The most effective contrapoint to the union is the philosophy I helped spawn, that of the new right.
It is pro Israel and democratic.
My idea was, to make a soft pillow to land on after the EU would fall. It is bound to fall, because the structure is simply too complicated and has too little support from the public.
The only question is, will it fall hard or soft.
I wanted to give the EU a chance, this is something everybody is required to have, and made a plan. Unfortunately the EU does not want to reform, but seems to be digging the hole just bigger and bigger.
There has been vigorous debate on whether the EU socialist are the true descentants of the national socialists.
This is ridiculous, off cause they are not. Then equally ridiculous is it, that the conservatives are the descendants of said disgusting creed.
We all fought remember?
What nazism was, was an esoteric, fascist movement that was in pact with the devil, literally.
So, if we really want to be saying no to Nazism, what we need, is to be the opposite. That is accepting, good, humane.
When this conflict is enhanced and we tend to see our adversary as evil, just remember, that that makes you take steps, that are evil themselves.
We think, that the evil steps are just, in the anger of the moment. But what we need to ask ourselves, is it truly just to do evil things?
The EU is falling, it is just at matter of time. That we cannot change, what we can change however, is what comes after.
Maybe we can see through our anger and angst, and see the other as they are. They are willing to fight for the same values, they just have the opinion, that it should be done at a national level, and not on a federal level.
There is no way, that the EU will be able to keep all the power it has amassed, the people do not trust the EU.
But there is another solution, and that is a compromise on power. Give the power back.
Why do the EU need it anyway. Give it back to the people, and refrain from using evil means. Because that will make you just the same as the Nazis.
Means carry virtue, either good or bad. Therefor means are to be chosen carefully, with a human objective in mind.
Because after all, what we DID fight for many years ago was democratic humanism. Democratic humanism tend to see each individual as something divine and beautiful. Remember that, when you chose your means.
G-d bless the peace we will and can find, if we are truly unselfish.
Tommy Robinson and I started, more or less, in the same political sphere. In fact, Tommy Robinson used to be good friends with SIAD, the organization I started my political career in, or whatever you call it.
So, I have followed Tommy Robinson closely for many years, and my feeling is, that he reads this blog. So hi Tommy, hope you are ok. We met once in Aarhus when EDL came to Denmark, remember?
Anyway, this is not to delve into the whereabouts of mr. Robinson. He has had his fight, as have I mine.
One of the greatest tragedies of modern security work, to my mind, is the fact, that the domestic police forces have turned villain to hero, and hero to villain.
Both Tommy and I are not racists or gung ho imperialists. Tommy is a sort of migrant himself, having Irish descent.
Me as well, my father was from Bangladesh. Yet, we have been at the sharp end of police work.
Tommy has been put in jail many times, and the secret police has harassed me innumerable times. Among these things killing my mother, and torturing my child.
What is going on? I mean, I understand, that the police worries about us having too loud a voice. But both Tommy and I have been very careful not to tread on anyone’s toes. We have repeatedly given a wide berth to the scum of the right. Nazies and so on.
We are liberal, what is left of the socialist workers.
We have seen how the abandonment of the academia to our cause has left us to rot. Therefor we have tried, with legal means, to make new liberal paths.
Accepting different minorities, not being racist. But being critical towards Islam. Because they are a threat to the commonwealth.
I mean, when I worked with Obama, bless him, people loved the Change we made. Because the ideas we have are absolutely including of all of colour. It is a unifying, positive ideology that shares and keeps people together. As we used to say, together we stand, divided we fall.
When the state does atrocities as they have done to us, going back is almost impossible, and so going forward seems to be the only possible way.
So the atrocities are piled on atrocities.
But there is a stopping point, and honestly, I hope this is it for Tommy and me.
In Denmark, the former chief of PET has been sacked, and is prosecuted. Fine with me, but can we please also move on with Tommy?
He is all that stands between you and utter chaos. And as Luton is the worker suburb of Oxford, the destiny is shared between the academics and the worker community there. It should be obvious.
So, maybe reconsider Tommy? He is a good guy, and I truly vouch for him. Go on Tommy, we have your back.
G-d bless the will of England, the fair isles of beautiful meadows.
There is a huge crisis in the Western world concerning child birth. The birthrate is really bad, and if we do not do something, we will simply cease to exist.
This is primarialy due to communism or rather socialism.
The simple equation is, that if the state takes care of you, and not the family, there is not real incentive to get children.
It is actually the same problem Sparta encountered (Sparta is the ideal city of communism). It worked for 700 hundred years, but in the end it died out because the birthdate was too slow.
The family as an institution has been an unrivaled success since it started in Egypt all these thousand years ago.
You can see, that nations that is supported by healthy families are the most succesfull.
So to turn the negative trend of Western Europe concerning the low birthrate. An active family police that promotes family values and support families in general is the true cure of the problems we face nowadays.
Well, I believe that all good philosophy needs to base its ideas on a thorough knowledge of the constructs of society. Bad political ideas leads to bad societies, it is that simple. Good quality ideas lead to good societies.
Therefor please let me be clear about the foundation of my philosophy, it is good.
The basic idea, that the democratic society is based on community of families is not something I invented, it is a principle of Aristotle.
That is the way he believes a democratic society should be constructed.
Aristotle was a leading light of the DEMOCRATIC cause of the Hellenes, and apart from Plato, the best thinker of the classic time.
If you compare Aristotle and Plato, there is an important relationship you have to be aware of. Plato was actually not really a believer in the Democratic constitution of Athens (Athens being the mothercity of all democracies in an Hellenic mould), he was a part of the SPARTAN faction of Athens. This means a lot, because you cannot just take all Platos ideas, and see them as inherently democratic.
Plato was actually a proto Marxist.
Being the pupil of Plato, Aristotle rebelled against this view, and pledged himself 100% FOR democracy. So if we want to really know how the Hellenes viewed Democracy, Aristotle is really the best choice.
In his political work Politics, he is quite specific. A democratic society rests on a community of families.
This was, most probably, how the original Democracy worked, so this is a principle we can apply to a modern Democracy with the knowledge that the idea comes from the highest quality source. So the chance that it will actually work in real life is the best possible.
As the American society evolves, and develops into a more Democratic society again, this principle will strengthen the society in general and make America stronger.
When you Change something, it has to come from somewhere and then be changed into something.
My political travel started as a revolutionary urge to really change the society I was a part of. That is a Socialdemocratic state with a weak faith.
I wanted to fix all the problems, and make a new state, that was strong, wise and humane.
But as a philosopher, I didn’t start out without knowing anything about what we came from. I had studied it thoroughly, to find out where things had one wrong, and what to do about it.
At that time, I didn’t know much about the Frankfurterschool and cultural Marxism, I went straight to the source, Marx, and tried to understand that.
My relationship to Marxism is a little special, since we are in the same family. A bit distant, but my family comes from the German city Trier (hence my name), and I therefor have a more generational feeling about Marx than a deep hatred many have for Marx.
He was my ancestor, so I believe it is my right to change his system into something better.
What I realized along the way was, that he had done some serious mistakes. He wanted to copy Sparta as an ideal, but he did not respect the ideas of Lycurgus, the philosophical founder of Sparta. So he made a inconsequential system. It does not work, because the architecture of his ideas are simply not of a sufficient quality.
So, I wanted to Change that, and remake the system into to something that actually work. Hence the work Barack and I did in his presidency.
It all starts with what is really the core of our philosophy; the community.
What is important, is for the community to work. If the community doesn’t work, the city doesn’t work, then the state doesn’t work and the federation doesn’t work. The community is the cornerstone of our philosophy.
How do we make a community work? We make it work be sharing in between healthy familiies. When we meet in church, it is more than just a haphazard meeting of people, it is family time.
Beneath the community lies another building brick, and that is the family. The reason why I stress this piece of society, is because Aristotle say so. Aristotle is the founder of Democracy, and in his view a sound Democracy is founded on sound families. So the Democratic faith needs a democratic family to work.
The next level, meeting in church, is also something I have in my Change of Marx. According to Marx, we live in a materialistic society. That is wrong to me, G-d is alive. Killing G-d was a mistake, I truly believe, that in order to make a society work, you need the ethical guideline of spirituality.
As Marx went away from G-d in his rejection of Hegel, I return to G-d in my rejection of Marx on this point. See? The line of thought goes from Hegel to Marx to Trier. In fact, you could say, that since Hegel is a part of German thought, that is Kant and Goethe and further back to Luther and the German rennaessance, in a sense we are dealing in unbroken line with a development of ideas that go at least five hundred years back. It is not superficial. But an attempt at really improving a system that has its flaws.
If you step up from the community you see that you meet a democratic system. The community is based in a city, that is in a state, that is in a federation. These are all democratic entitites.
On this level, I believe, that we need to keep one good thing of Marx, that of progressive tax. The idea is actually not his own, but something he got from Democritus.
Democritus idea, was to make a more equal society, so that harmony would be the result.
It works ok, but the problem about this tax system is, that is demotivates those people who are really good at making money, and then drives the society around.
Therefor you need another set of motivational incentives to shower on those who are really helping and supporting the community.
A really good example of this is the work of Steve Jobs in Apple. The reason why he built the I pad, was because he saw that people do not read anymore, so he wanted to make a device that helps people do that. That is true support of the American community, and should be given all the attention and support one could possibly give it.
There can also be tax excempts to people who support their local community in other ways.
This will recreate the connection between industrial owners and workers, recreating the might of American industry and giving jobs back to all those poor workers that have no jobs.
This process is also working very well, the industry of the US is back on track and we are having ourselves a true comeback.
On top of this philosophical construct is the true heart of the whole shebang, the shining city on the top of the hill. Why is shining? Because that is what humanism is all about, enlightenment, humanism, seeing each individual in its glory.
See? It is an architectural contruction, that is beginning to work.
You have sucessfully moved on to the next generation of philosophers, you have Changed and are all building a good society for the future generations.
The different religious organizations need tools to ‘sell’ the faith. Don’t get me wrong, faith is not a superficial thing. It is deep.
But people still need to see their lives improve when they find faith.
Usually they see that, because religion is more than just the faith in G-d, it is a social system as well.
Or rather, a way to organize your life, so that you become happy.
The gospel of joy is really the way of religion. People need to see, that when they become more religious, their lives improve.
The most important institution of religion is family.
The family is really the core of any monotheistic religion. This is truly the best selling point. Why? Because this is the institution that brings about happiness and joy if it works probably.
Therefor the discussion on family, is very important.
The core of any societal institution is harmony. If things are in harmony, they are at rest, and then happiness and joy are the result.
What is harmony? Harmony is if things are in balance. Harmony is really a mathematical understanding of the world.
Take for instance the progressive tax. Why do we have that? We have it, so that there is less of a jump between the very rich and the very poor. The equality of a society brings then harmony.
The same goes with a family. If there is too much of a jump between those who have much and those who have little, the harmony suffer. So we share our wealth and resources with our family.
In England, there is an ancient idea, that represent and reflect this ideal beautifully. The round table.
The round table is a fabled way of organizing that comes from the mythical stories of Camelot, the knights of the round table and King Arthur.
The idea is, that a family of knights sit together at a round table, all equal with King Arthur as the head.
With this we have an ideal to use in our modern families as well.
The father is the king, but not a king that puts the rest of the family down. But a wise leader that makes sure that all the family members are equal, that all share what they have.
It is not a dictator, but a servant of the family in the sense, that he will sacrifice himself, to make sure, that the family has a good life.
With this moral example, the rest of the family will look up to him as the guardian and the protector of the family.
The little knights, and princesses will grow up in harmony and joy because they feel at rest and in safety.
The mission of Israel, is the mission of Israel, to be the light upon the Nations.
That is, we need to support, scold, help and be a friendly force in the world of nations.
Sometimes we are the helping friend, sometimes we will be the scolding father. It all depends on the nation that is in discussion.
To be the light upon the Nations is not an easy task, it requires an absolute understanding of politics. We need to see the ups and downs of democracy, aristocracy, communism, nationalism and all the other isms that is part of the national fabric of the world.
WE should not take part, but try to help where help is needed.
That is, as I see it, essentially the task of Israel.
Somehow I stumbled into this position, and there is a simple answer to that.
The format that I write in, blogging, metaphysical and philosophical discourse fits this role very much.
Today I am already oldfashioned. The young look at YouTube, they do not do blogging.
So exactly, for some strange reason, I was the right man at the right time.
As things progress, I do not see another philosophical renaissance around the corner. The media structure is just not for for it. It gets simpler and simpler.
So, this is really the nexus of political development, right here on this blog, and it will not reappear in another form. This is the tool, that will remake the faith of the nations, like it or not.
I have worked a bit on Kabbalah, the basic faith of Israel and religious Jews, and there is a thing that strikes me, when I do that.
What I miss, is the essential discussion on G-d. There is a lot of talk about how we reach spirituality and so on. But who tries to DEFEND the spiritual idea. No one, in all the texts, that goes back thousands of years, no one truly see a need to defend G-d really, everybody is a believer.
THAT is what I believe is the task of Israel right now however. To lift itself up in a higher level, and defend G-d.
Where there is materialism, we need to make people see, that there is good and G-d is alive.
Because G-d IS alive.
With that realization, it is all about finding a way for people, to be good to each other. To make people see, that it is not in their own true interest just to take, but it is in their interest to give as well.
To be his brothers keeper.
G-d bless the will to do good in a strange and hostile world.
I think many people in the EU are scratching their heads right now, trying to understand why things are going down the drain.
It is really quite simple.
All philosophy of certain quality and spirituality has one goal; to shed the egoism of this world, and become a giver.
That is what it is to serve, also as a civil servant. It is an act of giving.
Instead of thinking so much about how the EU system should gain this or that power, you need to change that dynamic, and start thinking about how you may maximise the quality of life of the citizens.
The net result of the European Union has been destruction and chaos, therefor you are punished and people will not like you.
If you want to be popular, you need to figure out, how people will like you.
To be liked, you should start envisioning the peoples of Europe, and start supporting them, protecting them, give them jobs, create a state of happiness.
That is the goal.
G-d bless the will to see beyond ones own needs, and be a caretaker of the one besides you.
I know, that many people look at my writings, and tell themselves, well he is a nerd so fra away from my world, why would I want to listen to him.
You are absolutely right about that, I am a nerd so far away from your problems, that it seems absolutely insane to listen to me.
Why, because I do what I thing is most important, I hunt for the truth and that of humanity.
This hunt brings me very, very, very far away from this world, because this world is so mired in sleepish, tired ideas, that new ideas seem like taken out of a fairytale.
To believe in G-d again, how old fashioned. To search for truth again, how quaint and unmodern. To have faith in a better world, well that was before the deconstruction.
I am an acquired taste, something that is either extremely oldfashioned, or, perhaps, and this is where you come into the picture, the future.
When Lot went into the city of Sodom and Gomorrah, he asked G-d to give that corrupted city a chance, if just ten men bedsides himself was good. Just ten men.
G-d looked and looked, but there was not just one good man, so he put flames to the cities, and Lot had to flee. Yes they even tried to hunt down Lot, to shut him up, because he spoke about the injustice he saw.
Do you recognize this picture? Maybe there is a person in your country, who seeks to speak the truth, and he is not helped, but cast out.
What happened to Sodom and Gomorrah? Think about it for a second.
I am not judging, I just recount the stories of the Old Testament or the book of Thorah, you judge for yourself.
Sometimes, you reach a point, where the truth sayers are not listened to, and this is THE MOST important time to listen to those who speak truth, otherwise your country or city will crumble.
It doesn’t have to be a lot of people who listen, just maybe one or two. But they have to be there, and you have to listen to them, otherwise the city will stop being rich and honest.
Truth is a difficult thing. I know, often it is scarce, and often it is difficult to handle. But truth is the salt in the soup, what brings flavor to the society. So, if you want a society that tastes of something, that has flavor, you need to accept and appreciate the salt in the soup.
G-d bless the willingness to understand that truth is a savior, or is THE savior.
To Change something in politics, you need to do it on an enlightened basis.
The EU is essentially Socialdemocratic. There are some conservatives, but the bulk of the politicians and bureaucrats have one leg in democracy and one leg in socialism.
This means, that Change, needs to reflect that basis.
At the core of Social Democratism then lie three thinkers. Karl Marx and Aristotle/Plato. Karl Marx being the socialist thinker and Aristotle/Plato being the democratic thinkers.
So to create Change, you need to understand these ideas of what you yourself believe in.
To dig a little deeper, one needs to see, that the two pairs of thinkers represent a dichotomy of two warring parts in the Hellene classical world. Karl Marx believed in Sparta, and Aristotle/Plato believed in Athens.
It is a little too simplicstic, because Plato had a huge investment in Sparta, but this is just to simplify things.
So in order to understand the basis we are basing the current system on, one needs to understand that the collective ideas are actually an amalgam between two systems.
We are in deep trouble, what do we do about that?
Well, seen from a philosophical point of view, it really is not that strange. Lycurgus, the philosopher who founded Sparta, and thereby socialism, is quite clear about the foundation of socialism, Sparta had to be a hermetically closed city to work. Communism only works, if it based on a solidarity between equals that have a long history behind them.
Sparta as a city was a kind of extended family, because everybody knew each other, and honestly were family.
THIS is why communism doesn’t work. You cannot have a community if nobody knows each other.
It is as simple as that. Marx did not respect the wise counsel of Lycurgus, and therefore all these problems.
Open borders, that is a distant echo of workers unite wherever you are, is false in a political architectural sense.
So what is the obvious path after this realization. The obvious path is to make sensible borders. I mean it is not civil war between feuding tribes, but a sensible national border structure.
G-d bless the will, to see reason and understand, that civil service is just that. To serve the interest of the people, not the other way around.
When we look at what is going on in the EU, one thing is very apparent. The EU has not been honest.
Often when decisions have been made, there have been little room for the people to really engage and say no. If the peoples say no, the bureaucracy just ignores it, and does what it wants anyway.
When it comes to decision, often these are taken in dark rooms, far away from the scrutiny of the press or public will.
The examples are in legio of actions that is done, that has no real ethic quality.
If you were really honest, you would call these actions evil.
I know, when I say it, you would probably raise your brows, and look down at me from an aloof stance.
But, think about it. What is good? It is honesty, transperency, shedding your own privileges to serve those whom you are employed.
That is good, to kiss the foot of the beggar.
My point is, to rectify the EU project, you need to find “G-d“ in a sense.
Because if you lose the vision of spirit, you do things that seem reasonable, but at a closer inspection are evil.
What you need, is a true, ethical, spiritual soulsearching. Look that fallen angel in the eyes, and see the path of beautiful light.
That is the answer, everything else is just talk.
G-d bless the will to do good, and that is, at least to be honest to yourself.
I have been meditating on the problems of Europe and in specific that of the European Union.
We have a movement going on, that I created. That of the reemergence of the nationstate. It happens all over Europe these days, the people is taking back control, because the politicians and the political elite have forgotten to ask them what they want.
Good, that is as it should be. Congratulations all peoples of Europe.
At the other hand, we have a EU, that seek a new mission. What now?
Well, to create peace, one needs a true moral compass.
A moral compass, that will make one see what is truly good or bad in the world.
You can only have a good compass, if you believe in spirit. Because spirit is the ideal of ethics. It is the ultimate state of true love, borderless understanding and uncompromising loyalty.
This movement is what I believe is really needed. To find faith in Hope and Change. Hope in a better world, and Change into a sound and respectful system.
It will, in other words, require a lot of soulsearching, and honesty towards ourselves.
Good is never simple, it is always complicated, because the world is complicated.
Open borders may, at the surface, seem like a benevolent and good thing, but if the consequence is rampant crime and the destruction of the states of Europe, then it is a bad thing.
One needs to find a compromise.
THAT is the only way for a renewed and vibrant Europe, to find faith. Not on a superficial or simple level, but on a true, intelligent and deep level.
It all comes back to the basic question; what is good?
That is a project I would like to commence, and perhaps seek to unify all those spiritual believers, that seek to further the realm of G-d here on earth.
We all wish to better the situation, we do not all agree, but we do agree on one thing.
We work for spirit, to realize his work here on earth.
That is good deeds, good speaking and good thoughts.
Yesterday, I joined a meeting in OFA, Organizing for Action. The organization that is behind the Liberal party of the US, or rather one of the organizations.
I wanted to see how things worked, and the vibe of the current party. Not to spy, but to see if I can help somehow.
I came away really impressed. The level of commitment is top notch, the skill is top notch, and everybody seems to be on the same page.
It was really a good experience actually.
The time here in Denmark lags after the US with seven hours. So your 7 pm is my 2 am. This meant, that I had to wake up at 1.50 am, that is in the middle of the night, at join the web class that OFA makes.
My second daughter has been sick the last couple of days, so I had to take care of her. That is, I had to carry her around from 10 pm to 12 pm, so you could imagine how wasted I was before I got to the computer.
But it was a truly good class, with a lot of good tips, so that was good.
IF you make more classes like that, an idea would be to perhaps make a little earlier. I know it is a bit much, but with small kids that keeps screaming all night, 2 am is a little difficult for me at least. But I understand, that you cant make classes for me.
Anyway, it is a good start.
I would love to get more involved in the party strategic work.
There is another thing. Right now, I am shifting my work. I got a small, tiny job as a teacher at college, and I would love to continue working with politics.
I have a good friend here in Denmark, that I will work with Danish politics with. But I would really love working, that is truly working, getting paid and so on, in American politics.
This may not be possible, I know, and I will do all I can to help anyway.
I have small kids, they need food at the table as well.
Anyway, as it stands. It was a good first meeting, and I look forward to see how things progress.
G-d bless you, and thank you for a nice web seminar.
If we look at what Socialdemocratism is, then there is one thing, that meets the eye. It consists of two words. One is democracy, the other is socialism.
In a sense, Socialdemocratism is, in all times, a mix of these two trends. What is important however, is to find the right understanding of Socialdemocratism.
After the 68 came, there has been a lot of emphasis on social justice and identity politics. The Frankfurterschool.
If you look at these ideas, actually it has nothing to do with either socialism or democracy. These ideas are the reflection of Nazism, trying to do good what Nazism did wrong. But theoretically it has very little to do with the political ideas behind Socialdemocratism.
The Change Barack and I did, was to move the Socialdemocratic perspective from identity politics, to true political progressivism.
Where the Frankfurterschool see everything in colour a and gender. We see the world as a place without colour and gender. It doesn’t matter. We are all equal in the eyes of G-d.
Where social relativism does not accept the family as the cornerstone of the society. The Socialdemocratism we sought to promote is a family oriented ideology. Where dad is dad and mom is mom. Not in an unequal way, but in a way where the kids matter more than we do as parents. Where having dinner together matters. Where saying thank you and sharing with the community matters.
Democracy will only work, if it is based on a society with good and healthy families. Where people look out for each other, and we care. Where kids go to school to have a good education and are able to make a good life.
Where the next generation is better off than your own. Where you seek to make a better society for your kids to inherit.
Where we can actually share some civil rights values. Where we share and do not divide.
That is the vision we can and should work for. Not a place of division, but a place of faith and unity.
There are a lot of troubles between the east and the west. I for one do not condone it. I believe in dialogue and understanding. If we are at war, I believe, we should hit as hard as humanely possible. But if not, we should seek dialogue.
There is one thing, that I really believe that Russia should at least consider.
We here in Denmark live close to Sweden, and honestly the news that get out of Sweden smells of imminent breakdown of the state. The police is in tatters, and no one seems to be grown up in a frame of mind that does not essentially leave room for not commiting suicide.
It has come to this because the dying Soviet Union infiltrated Sweden in the seventies, and essentially broke down the social cohesion of Sweden.
This is not to point fingers. I love Russia and see it as one of my children to help and support in terms of progress and life.
That is why I believe that Russia should think about the blame it will give to itself if Sweden truly collapses in ragnarok.
The very ancestors of the Rus dying because its child destroyed it.
This would hang as a great shame and troublesome wound in the great and proud soul of the Russians.
I have no solution. Sweden seems hell bent on suicide, but I truly urge Russia, for Russias own sake, to consider the sad story that is going on in Sweden right now.
I would wish Sweden to follow Russia, and find peace with its own faith, strengthen its identity and find a prosperous way.
Swedes are skilled.
But the destruction of the Swedish people would be unbearable especially for its own sons and daughters migrated so many years ago through the rivers of Eastern Europe.
Please consider the wellbeing of the Swedes, not at least its own daughters and sons. You would not be able to carry that guilt of having caused destruction of your forefathers.
G-d bless the proud Rus, and may they see peace and joy.
The US has been forever Changed by the presidentship of Mr. Barack Obama. Compared to all the trouble we have here in Europe, the US is much, much better going.
First of all, what is it really that is the basis of this positive Change?
It is, and now listen very carefully, the adherence to the basis of US creed. The shining city at the top of the hill. That is a country that revels and loves its free thinking and illuminating leadership. Yes, I know that US has been hampered by some bad ideas in the past, but essentially the ideas of the US are perfect.
A revolution in this sense, is an AMERICAN Revolution. Going back to the founding fathers, picking up on their ideas, reinventing them for today.
These are very good ideas, there is no reason to change them, except REINVENTING them for today.
If your house is built on a sold basis, there is no better idea than to have a look at that basis once in while, and keep it sound.
It is now the last day of the new year, tomorrow a new year with all its potential will start.
As always, looking back is good, and looking forward is equally good.
First of all, the last year has had its tough challenges. Antisemitism, or the vilification of Jews is on the rise internationally, secondly, the situation around us is volatile as always.
In this dire situation, not defending Israel is total madness.
At the other hand, the fortunes of Israel has never been better in terms of allies and friends. The US has chipped in full throathed, the Arabs have become friends. And even Iran has refrained from attacking us as hard as we have been attacking them.
This is due to the good will of spirit towards Israel.
Why has this happened?
Really it is a reflection of the Jewish character. A warm friend and a fierce enemy.
If you support us and work with us, we will be the best friend you can have. If you fight us, we will be the worst enemy you can get.
In a sense, Israel is slowly realizing the Jewish spirit.
Because peace is only won if you fight with justice, and help with mercy.
This is the example I hope the rest of the world sees. That we are not fighting for our own benefit in terms of money or privilege. But to have our place we can call home.
Somewhere where we are safe and secure.
The rest of the world hates the Jews for their own descipable reasons, so we need a place to call home, where we can be safe.
That is Israel. The home of the Jews.
With this wonderful realization, I hope that all Jews see their home for what it is, and are ready to defend it with all costs.
Not to subdue or bring harm, but to defend and protect those we love and cherish.
Each year comes with challenges and happiness. Each year is one more year gone in ones life.
This is a time to look back, and think a little about what happened and how we may find new ways the next year.
The last year was good in the sense, that Jews in Israel have become more secure, but dangerous in the sense, that antisemitism is on the rise in many areas of the world.
Here in Denmark the ugly head of Nazism is rearing, and the same goes for Sweden, where the Jews are to blame, again.
That is the way of the Jews, though we seek peace, often there is not peace to be had.
As Moses did when he wanted to create the first Israel, he went on a holy mission. We also need to find a balance between fighting and finding peace. That balance is difficult to find. But honesty to what we see with our own eyes is a good place to start.
With great skill comes great responsibility.
In this way our arrogance is a two edged sword. At one hand it brings us further and away. The self confidence gives us the ability to overcome amazing problems. But it also creates a lot of resentment.
This balance of having faith in ourselves and yet remain humble is the key to peace.
Working tirelessly, with confidence on our aims, but at the same time being humble and generous with what we make.
I have tried to give it a bit more thought about the peace of the Middle East.
As rav Ashlag says; the day the three monotheistic religions have a common base. That day, Israel will bring peace.
You know, he was right.
What has really given us a huge boost, is the proces of Israel becoming more religious. When Israel started, it was essentially a humanistic/democratic/socialist state.
Inspired by great European Jews as Herzl and Brandes.
Religion was not really at the fore of the Israeli state. There were some kabbalists who thought about it, among them rav Ashlag. But Israel has had a strict border between the state and the religion.
This has changed in the last twenty years, as the rest of the world, religion has had a comeback.
What has this had of effect for Israel? Well, essentially it has brought Israel closer to its neighbors in terms of worldview. That is what we are witnessing now.
Both the sunnis and the shias are very religious people. When we talk religion, we all of sudden find, that we have a common language, and the same goals.
Judaism is the source of all three monotheistic religions. Sometimes when religion develops along positive lines, Christianity and Islam cherises its jewish roots, sometimes in times of negative development, it hates its jewish roots.
So, the ability of Israel to reach out, and understand the other two religions and even support them, is what the other religions require to develop along positive lines.
Judaism is essentially extremely positive. The quest for peace is judaism.
So, as a religious state, Israel means peace.
G-d bless the will to understand how we can find peace.
One of the ways the British intellectual environment can and have to change the narrative of migration, is with a deeper understanding.
I have written quite a lot about that here on the blog, and it has created some momentum for Mr. Boris Johnson. To be honest, I do not have a preferred candidate in the UK Conservative party, this is not for me to define. I however off cause applaud mr. Johnson in his attempt at saving the country. I have always been a staunch brexiteer.
But, again, I understand the difficulties of the European Union, I would have tried to make some development to the Union, but without any public support, I cant see how this is possible.
But, back to the discussion on migration on an enlightened base. I am trying to whip up a cultural mission from Denmark to the UK.
I have some connections in the party that serves as foreign minister, and I am trying to make a contingent of artists, diplomats and politicians to make a trip to the UK.
Perhaps this will open up the discussion a bit.
I am working on it, and hopefully I will succeed on the mission. It is very difficult, because obviously it is a massive project.
But, with G-ds grace, we will succeed.
We have also discussed the possibility to go to other countries.
Anyway, this is just to inform you on some of my plans.
We need to open up the discussion, so that it rests on an enlightened basis.
Mr. Barack Obama is coming to Denmark in the end of september. This is an opportunity to begin the discussion on legacy. I am afraid, that we have to initiate it somehow. Otherwise people will not really believe in the skill we have applied to the process.
I tried to contact the local holder of the session that mr. Obama is attending, unfortunately they are pretty dismissive of an interview. I therefor post it here (sorry readers who are not really interested in what happens behind the curtains) due to the problems I have with this thing. We need to do it, to change the mood in the Democratic camp, and give a true narrative to what really happened under Barack Obama. We need to celebrate his achievements.
The subjects would be:
1. Peacedeal in the Middle East
– What happened first: The Arab spring and the values in that
– The fight with Ahmadinejad, and the diplomatic push to bring the peacekeepers of Iran to the fore
– The “make friends with the Middle East states” strategy
– The fight against IS, and the values behind
– The global alliance against IS and what it meant to American power
2. Economy
– The shift from Keynesian economy to “obamanomics” (The support of loyal production to America, Made in America)
– The support of American workers
– The role of China in this strategy
– The amazing succes of this strategy today
3. Civil rights
– The attempt to support at platform to unite the Americans
– The importance of the civil rights movement in the US
– How we may be able to create less friction in the US by making a common base for all to stand on
