You know, the US and France usually tend to try and export Freedom of conscience, freedom of speech, freedom of each and every citizen.
But how often do the leaders truly care about the people?
I will give you an example from my own life, that kind of hit the nail for me.
Some years ago. I worked as a teacher at a college. It was a junior appointment, but I loved it, and tried to, as any new teacher should do, to inspire the young in terms of ideas, and off cause democracy.
In my specific class, there was this wonderful young girl, who entered into the students organisation, and tried to fight for the rights of the student.
Something I was personally very proud of, seeing one of my students rise to leadership in the school democratic body of the students union, it made my very proud.
Then one day, when we had one of those endless discussions in the teachers college ABOUT the students, she enterede into the fray. Valiantly and courageously, she went into the teachers holy domain, where students are not allowed, and started to speak up for the students.
That moment it struck me, that all we teachers do, is talk ABOUT the students.
Now, mind me, it was a leading college in its own regard, so the discussions were loud and learned. We presented the teachings of Lacan and Derrida. I presented the ideas of Løgstrup and so on.
The problem was however, that we somehow got caught up in our own devises. In a sense in our own feeling of selfimportance.
WE were the leaders, so WE were supposed to discuss the wellbeing of the students.
We never asked the students what they wanted.
That is often a problem in modern politics as well. We get so caught up in the process of things, and forget about what it is really about. The will of the people.
That is something we should continuously remind ourselves about.
That there is a people out there. And our job is to listen to what they want.
I mean, why arent´we at the campaign train, out in the workspaces of normal hardworking American. Why are we so obsessed with all these battles in congress.
Why don’t we go out to where normal Americans live.
Listen to their needs, truly listen.
That is how you win elections, by listening to the needs of the people.
G-d bless the United States of America.
Democrats need to find themselves before the next election battle. This is a little core story, that might help you in this regard.
A few years back one of my friends dad passed away in a funeral pyre on the ocean. He was one of those old hippies that built the free cities of Christiania and Thy lejren, the first free hippie city of Denmark.
He was a wizard, literally. He had this old wizards hat, and when my friend had her first born child, he giftet her a magic crystal ball. He named her after a star, so he figured that such a little star could use a little magic, I guess.
Anyway, when he went away I had the supreme honour to pick a few books from his library. A library of a magician is vast, huge, filled with all kinds of books on politics, magical ideas and so on and so forth. Filled.
I picked through all the books, and found a little treasure, that I will share with you here.
You see, when socialism was young, in France. And when those iconic words of freedom, equality and brotherhood was coined, there was this old magician in France that was a kind of the “first socialist” priest.
He was originally a catholic priest, but as time went by, and the revolution unfolded, he was swept by the tide, and tried to help as best as he could.
He wrote a little book called “Famine”. He wanted to tell the aristocracy about the hunger of the people. They didn’t know.
He had his heart in the caring of those who had little, and in his eyes socialism was about that. Caring for those who have little.
The point is, there IS a spiritual outset of socialism, that socialism has forgotten.
Yes, there are good signs in US with mr. Barack Obama and his spiritual socialism. But that is all for now.
But that is the path, as Eliphas Levi saw it, that Socialism was supposed to journey down on, that of helping and caring for those with little.
AND mind you, it is a spiritual process.
Find faith in that, and there is hope for Change.
G-d bless the United States of America.
Soon there will be another election in the US. Let me clear about this. This will not be an all loose, or all win.
We are actually faring quite well.
Most of the ideas that Barack and I installed are still there, and it works.
But, that does not mean, that we cannot be better or improve on the things that we have been doing.
We have been discussing the idea of unity on the US. But what are the main words or idea that will unite us?
Well, look at yourself.
What are you called?
Have you thought about that. Your name.
Democrats.
That is what unites you.
It is that simple.
What unites Democrats is the Democracy of the United States.
Within this civil rights.
But the US is more than just a place on the map.
It is an idea that came from somewhere and needs to go somewhere.
But again, it needs to be enwrapped in what it is, it is a Democracy. And that is the start and the end of it.
At the other hand, the wealth and plethora of ideas and principles of Democracy, is a wonderful treasure chest of political energy to draw from.
Look at it, look at yourself, find yourself in your own values.
They are there, all you need to do, is to be yourself.
G-d bless the United States of America.
It has been a rough few weeks in British parliamentary discussion, it seems that compromise is very difficult to find.
You know, compromise is difficult in an environment as the one in Westminster. Politicians are fighting all the time.
But at the other hand, a compromise MUST be found. This is not a support to any of the two factions of Westminster, but a true support of the middle ground.
You are not putting public interest before yourself if you do not deliver on the 31 of October.
The PEOPLE chose to say no to the EU, so they decide, not the politicians. It may be, that you feel otherwise, but that is not for you to decide. You are supposed to be servants to the people, and fulfil their wishes.
Then please do it, support Boris if you can. Talk to the man, find a way out of this quagmire, please, listen to each other.
G-d bless the United Kingdom
Iamblichus should be a prime source regarding Platonic philosophy. He is a pupil of Plato, and should therefor be close to Plato in regards to his worldview.
I have tried to discuss the principle of unity in regards to platonic philosophy. Plato does not discuss it much to my knowledge. But in fact Iamblichus do.
So, what is the aim of a learned society?
It goes with the aim of UNIVERSITY, what does that actually mean?
Uni, means one. How come, that university is called a place where you teach about oneness?
What does it actually mean?
To understand this, you need to understand the soil Plato was planting his trees in.
Plato, the quintessential and first academic sought after things in a MATHEMATICAL worldview.
He was, essentially what you call a PYTHAGOREAN. That is, at descendant of the Egyptian lore that floated around in the meditarannean in his time.
According to pythagorean lore, you find G-d and good in the mathematical constructs of the world.
You can see it in the pyramids. How come they are perfectly triangular? Well because that is a mathematical riddle. The number three, ends up in one on each side.
Its an equation of spirit.
You also talk about the holy triangular; son, father and holy ghost. Another triangularity.
Or the balance between the rich and poor, that you try to equate with progressive tax.
Or the balance between the three functions of law.
See? All figures of number.
What is the most holy number, the number the ancients always strived for?
They called the nomad, the number one.
One is perfection, and therefor University is called university. To make a school where the science there strived for oneness, also called unity.
Unity is the function of a mathematical view on society.
So, the path is clear; we need to make a frame around society, where people feel alike and not different. Where we celebrate what we have in common, not what tears us apart.
A society, where we all work to make a oneness in terms of politics and spirit.
G-d bless the will to heal the rifts in society, and make peace amongst all those who are now in turmoil.
I read a lot of all kind of British litterature. Both the scientific books from Oxford and Cambridge, and a lot of the mystical tomes from the British underground.
So in all humility, I believe, that I have a feeling about Great Britain that is more than just superficial. That is why I like Great Britain so much, and off also because it reminds me of Denmark, just as a brother would do.
Where the brits have developed amazingly after we shared kings, we in Denmark may have remained small in comparison, but we have our qualities as well, among them Grundtvig, the founding father of Danish intellectualism.
It may be a peasant country, but even peasants have their illuminaries and wise men.
In Denmark we have this academic principle called the folk soul. The point being, that the people have a common soul, that somehow encompasses the people, the folk, and thereby makes a kind of spiritual and democratic unity.
After having read some of the more mystical books from England, I realised, that the same used to be said about the Empire. The Empire had a soul as well. I have tracked the ideas, and found that it comes from Iamblichus, the pupil of Plato. So it is a platonic idea.
Now the Empire is in dire straits, but have a chance to be rebuilt again. That is essentially the task of mr. Johnson. If he manages to rebuild the empire, he will perhaps get close to his great ideal Winston Churchill.
The two look very much alike, and there is just that chance.
At a deeper level though. I believe, that if we do not speak about the spiritual matters, then how can the empire be rebuilt?
Getting a comeback in the Anglican Church is more than just a spiritual rebirth, it is actually the rebirth of the British empire we are talking about.
Here the Iamblicusian idea of the soul of the people or empire is very important.
It is not just a matter of making trade deals. But a matter of truly connecting on a more important level. The level of soul. That is friendship, good ideas, community, doing something worthwhile together. Supporting each other in the needs of each part of the empire and so on.
In other words, the CULTURAL part of the rebirth of the empire is in many ways truly important.
It is about that feeling between the different countries of the empire, how they work together and so on.
That is the endgame; to strengthen that.
That soul of the empire.
G-d bless the wisdom of the ancients.
Concerning the current EU negotiations, one could, in terms of looking af the needs of the involved parties, discuss how one would plan a strategy.
First what are the needs of the Brits, especially the voters. They are many actually. But at the core of the vote a great support for the empire, the Queens attitude towards Great Britain, that is that Great Britain is a hub of knowledge, power and international movement, is shared among the constituents.
They are not a part of the continent, they are proud, independent Englishmen, Walisians, Scots and Irishmen.
They therefor want to realize that spirit of the empire. Someone might even call it the soul of the empire.
At the other hand, EU wants the same essentially. EU ALSO wants to be an empire, but the difference is, that where UK is a power player in the British Empire, UK is a vassalstate in EU.
So both parties wants the same, but they have different ideas about where the power should reside. Either in Bruxelles or in London.
So to satisfy the voters, which is what this all about, especially if you want to win a second term. You need to deliver on their expectations.
Whether this independence is won by no deal or a deal, doesn’t matter. What matters is, that it is delivered.
G-d bless the United Kingdom.
Well, that was a bit of a drama mr. Trump. First inviting yourself, then making a big blunder, and then retreating without that much of a grace.
What happened? Well, you just got acquainted with a bit of Danish culture.
Let me try and explain. Denmark is the vile, tough, primitive little brother of England.
Where England is illustrious and civilized, we are tough and no nonsense. Where England is advanced, we are plain.
The Brits call us a peasant country, and to honest, we are. We are the hill Billy’s of Northern Europe. In some areas, to be honest most, this is a bit of a what you say, not so respectable. But when it comes to be tough, we are tough.
Not only that, we are smart as well.
If you challenge us, we will bite back.
Now, our women are, more or less like us men. Tough, no nonsense and true fighters.
That is both annoying and very cool.
Mrs. Frederiksen comes from the same area as I am living in now, that is Northern Jutland. Our symbol is a great roaring bull. Tough, no nonsense, and a true menace to the enemies, an untamed force.
So what you wanted to buy, was in a sense a mountain girl, with a great pitchfork in her right arm, ready to strike.
You don’t try to bargain with a gal like that, you talk with her and make her your equal. If you do that, then you have a warriors wife at your side, a pretty good support in times of war.
Now, we are like you, like you Americans in many ways. Unpolished, Protestants.
That is why you like us, and that is why we essentially like you.
We are simple folk, as most of you are.
So, maybe after you know this, we can start the dialogue in earnest.
Anyway, you are always welcome as a friend.
G-d bless the mutual friendship between the US and Denmark.
According to Iamblichus, the pupil of Plato, G-d is what is good. Then the next pertinent question is; what is good.
This question is a question that we often fail to put to ourselves, and often when we do, we just imitate the ethics that is around us. Leaving us prone to manipulation.
According to Plato, in his eminent allegory of the cave, we as people do not like to be presented with truth, and as a consequence, we persecute the truth seekers.
Me as an example is a pretty good one, even though that I have made a tremendously positive impact on the world as such, still I am the last to stand in the line when it comes to praise and recognition. Be as it may, and it is also nice to an unsung hero, it shines truth to the old allegory of Plato.
He is right, truth is not a ware we like to either peddle or hear.
Then good is truly a scarce commodity, because the prerequisite for good is truth.
Maybe we can actually make a Renaissance, and be more faithful to the virtues of the enlightment, a time where truth was a valued ingredient in our democracies.
At least, that is what we CAN do, bring truth and honesty to our world, as is the path if we want to be good.
G-d bless the will to be good.
Well, now we have two Presidents coming to Denmark. One of them even comes to my own home city Aalborg, to make a speech there. Really want to come, but due to severe budgetary restraints, unfortunately this is not possible.
It is however possible to invite mr. Barack Obama in for a cup a coffee here in my home, the offer is standing Barack, anytime.
Then we have another president MAYBE coming to Denmark, that is the current president mr. Donald Trump. He comes in normal Trump fashion, that is great uproar, a few scandals and then as a friend coming anyway, because at heart Trump is a friend.
Anyway, it is a great honour having you here, you are more than welcome, and look forward to the trip. I will at least, and support you however I can when you are here.
G-d bless the strong alliance between Denmark and the United States of America.
There is a lot of discussion within the Christian community regarding the use of force. Can Christians use lethal force against an enemy?
There has been numerous occasion where this has been the case, not at least the crusades. But even today, the military is, in most respects a Christian military force, at least in Great Britain.
Then a reflection on military force within Christianity would make sense.
Me, I am a Jew, but as a part of the “light upon the nations” duty all Jews ideally serve. My attempt has been to try and help some of the suffering nations around the world.
So back to Jesus Christ.
According to some apochryphical sources, Jesus Christ was trained as an Essene. That is a Jewish religious order of the ancient Middle East. An order that calls for purity of soul, the obligation to help those in need, and a rejection of material needs. You could say, the Franscicans of the Jews.
The Essenes is then interesting in the reflection of the spiritual weighing of war against peace.
Now, in the great rebellion that Jesus was a part of. That of the uprising against Rome, there were other Essenes than just Jesus around, and they did participate in the rebellion against the Romans.
There is a lot of evidence of this great rebellion in the dig site og Masada, the last great stand of the Jews against the Romans. Here the coins were emblazoned with the cry of Jewish freedom.
Essenes, among them Jesus Christ was a part of that struggle for freedom for the Jews.
There were other Essenes that were commanders in the armies of the Jews.
This, I think, sets a precedent for Christian warfare.
Jesus was, most probably, a part of a greater rebellion for freedom of the Jews. There were other Essenes that fought for freedom, so there is an Christian religious underpinning under the striving for freedom, for Christians.
If Christianity is seen as a continuation of some of the ideas that Jesus Christ managed to spread to world, in a symbolic sense, Christianity is the continued fight for freedom of the Jews, and a furthered sense, a fight for freedom for all people around the world.
That is the core of the militaristic understanding of Christianity.
G-d bless the freedom of the Christians, all around the world, seen from that original Jewish perspective. You are still fighting that freedom fight, please don’t stop, continue until you are truly free.
My point yesterday, about the utopian nature of political philosophy is simply, that what we strive for, ideally is something better. I believe that the Ancient Greek and Egyptian had a better society than what we have today, especially the last 40 years things have gone the wrong way.
But they also had a lot of trouble. Constant warfare and threats from barbarian tribes (us).
But they always strived for a better society. Sometimes they made a huge step forward, as in the time of Plato and Aristotle, at other times things went awry as when the sea peoples destroyed the ancient Hellenic world, plunging it into a dark age.
As Thomas More prescribes however, in his epitomal work Utopia, what we as cultures should do, is to strive for something better.
Right now we are plugging holes in the ship. Trying to stop the massive flow of migration, stopping the bleeding of our economy and so on.
But after that, and inbetween, we need to aim at something better. A better society, a more peaceful, happy and content society.
Thereby bringing Hope.
G-d bless the will to stem the flow of migrants to a bearable size, and get our economies up and running again.
Politics has found its most illustrious academic definition in between two leading philosophers of the world. That of Plato and that of Aristotle.
While Plato was the archidealist, the Pythagorean, Aristotle was the empirical taleteller of the current.
Inbetween these two towering set of ideas true success in politics lie.
I talked about needs as destiny in terms of political development. Point being, that you cannot fight the needs. If you do, you setup the frame for a revolution.
Needs are destiny in terms of politics.
This idea is Egyptian, or rather ancient Egyptian and understanding this in a Hellenistic perspective you need to know, that Plato was a great fan of Egypt. He studied there in his youth, and is what you term a Pythagorean, that is a Egyptian inspired academic.
So there is a huge tapestry BEHIND Plato of Egypt that ties his ideas together.
When Plato discusses harmony as a aim of politics, it is because this is what he learned from the Egyptians.
Harmony or order was the aim of Egyptian political development, in order to serve the needs of the people.
Now, when we today talk about harmony or order. We mix things up in a wrong way. Order is seen, basically, as a Roman virtue. Something strict and sometimes a little forbidding.
That was not the way of the Egyptians, according to them, order was bliss.
Order was not a sinister thing, but a state of happiness, care, and essentially humanism.
Humanism is the EFFECT of order and harmony.
We sometimes forget this in modern politics, that there is order behind humanism.
We talk about the care for each individual, but in order to be able to care for each person, there has to be order in society.
Open borders creates the opposite of harmony and order. As a consequence the equilibrium between order and humanism breaks down.
We do not see the missing piece, that is order when we want peace and harmony.
In that sense we are pretty primitive in our political ideology. We see only one side of the coin.
We should therefor embrace the complexity of humanism, understand that it is truly wise. Break free from those hermetic texts that we see as the only source of humanism, and see it in a greater context. The context of ancient Egyptian worldview.
G-d bless the will to see things in perspective. The true and ancient perspective of Egypt, the mother of spirituality and politics.
Welcome mr. President, it is a great honor to have you coming to Denmark next month. I would say, that there are a lot of people here in Denmark who sees it as both their obligation and self served interest to talk to you.
Let me be clear about my stance. We in Denmark are not here to dictate anything to our friends. We are one of your most loyal friends and have been it in many years. We see you as a part of ourselves in the sense, that a lot of those cowboys they are named both Petersen and Larsen.
People who came from Denmark a hundred or two hundred years ago. Each year we actually commemorate this with the Queen coming to be a part of the ceremony.
We see you as a part of ourselves.
Anyway, as I have served the US for many years, I will continue to do so.
I truly hope, that this meeting will be a meeting between good friends, that serve each other in the interests of shared values and hopes for the future.
We are warming up for the meeting, and just so you know, please give us your wishes for what you want to do when you come. Otherwise it will just be a lot of boring meetings.
Take Jared as well, he is most welcome. We could set up a meeting between me and him. We have shared interest in the peaceprocess of the Middle East.
There are many things we can do, to further the dialogue between right and left in American politics.
Anyway, we look forward to seeing you.
You are most welcome.
G-d bless the United States of America.
The European elite is creating the perfect breeding ground for radicalism and potential revolutions.
Look at current mood around in many European countries. Greece, Italy, France. Great Britain just pulled itself out.
Why?
Well, if you look at the French Revolution, there was a socialist priest at the time called Eliphas Levi. He wrote a pamphlet called Famine. Where he wanted to inform the elite of France about the famine in the country. The answer of Marie Antoinette was, why don’t they eat cakes?
In other words, she did not understand the need of the people to be able to eat.
The same goes with the current elite. The need of the people to be secure in their countries is simply ignored by the elite, and as a consequence the system is breaking down.
Needs are destiny. Politics is about serving the needs of the people. Not doing so will end up in a situation where the entire system will break down. That is called a revolution.
What that revolution will be remains to be seen. I hope it will be a Democratic Revolution as in France.
But there are signs of a National socialist revolution coming up.
That will be truly devastating for Europe.
So, perhaps being a bit more realistic about the ups and downs of politics would be a pretty smart idea.
G-d bless the will to be strong in faith of Democracy.
There is a lot of discussion in the US right now concerning guns and gun control. Let me clear about how law works.
Law is something that you should feel in yourself. As Heraclitus mentions, it is the inner wall of the city. He claims that, you may breach the outer wall of a city, but if the the inner wall; law is a fortified and strong wall, the city will never be conquered.
Take all these gunslinging morons who believe it to be their right to shoot people, often children.
Do they have any respect for law? Do they have any respect for the fabric that strings us together? No, they have no respect for the great and justice seeking country they live in.
There can be people who are just socially vulnerable and sick, so they go on a criminal rampage. But even though it is a socially made situation they are in. It still is not right.
So to look at the root cause of all these killings. One should look to better education in law understanding. See how law is actually a good thing, something that binds people together.
People break the law due to different motives, but they should not, and common ground politically is to try and enforce the acceptance of law as something good. A kind of rules that makes society run in a positive way.
G-d bless the United States of America.
It seems to me, that the UK have acquired a philosopher Prime minister. The reflections of mr. Johnson are really of a high quality, and I will truly look very much forward to serve mr. Johnson with philosophical ideas and understanding of the world.
Let us build on a thing that mr. Johnson mentioned in his inaguration speech.
That of human sentiment.
Human beings, and all in nature have needs. They have needs for security, food, procreation, having a future and so on.
Politics is about serving those needs of the people, so they are content and happy.
Needs are destiny, in the sense that you cannot fight a human need. The best example is the French Revolution where the people were starving. The elite didn’t know that, and all if a sudden they were overthrown.
No amount of tyrannical state persecution could stop that.
So, a wise politician looks at the needs of a people, and seeks to serve them.
What are the tools that a politician has to serve these needs. According to Iamblichus they are two. 1. Wisdom. 2. G-d.
Iamblichus have these ideas from the Egyptians, who at the time were leading in terms of culture in the classical Hellenistic world. So these are essentially classical Egyptian ideas.
They believed, that wisdom would guide you to be able to serve those needs of the populace, understand the needs, put in place political systems to help the needs. A good example is a politics of grain storage. In Egypt there are strings of good years of harvest and strings of bad years of harvest, as it is described in the Bible.
So the king made a system of grain storage so that in good years grain was storaged, and in bad years grain was eaten.
This was wise, serving a need, and as a consequence the populace was very happy with the king.
So what are the most pressing needs of the Europeans? It is security.
We have just had some devastating occurrences of violence in Germany, Sweden is a living hell, and the UK has a bit of trouble in London among other places.
The need for security is not met by the politicians. Consequently the populace gets restless and seek new politicians to meet their needs.
The wise polician then meets the need of security in an intelligent manner.
I have prescribed repatriation as a harsh consequence towards those migrants who make the streets of Europe unsafe. This has been accepted by most, but doing it craves a lot of courage, wisdom and luck.
So, that is why we pray to G-d to incur that luck, wisdom and humanity to solve this devastating problem.
G-d bless the United Kingdom.
When we talk about unity, there is a depth to that principle, that we should accept and discuss in order to really be able to make progress in this area.
The pupil of Plato Iamblichus, and thus a platonist of the first order has discussed this principle in relation to Egypt. When Plato and Iamblichus lived, Egypt was still an intellectual world power of the first order, and therefor being inspired by ancient Egypt is a quality sign.
According to Iamblichus the world is organized in triangles. This may sound a little weird to the ears of the modern reader. But that is basically because we have lost some of the basic scientific methodology over the years, especially after the fall of Ancient Rome.
Let me explain. In order to reach a harmonious society things have to find equilibrium. Equality, another Platonic virtue, is not because we want strife and problems within a society, but because we want harmony. See? The mathematical application of societal development is what truly sets the high bar of civilization.
Take progressive tax. I know, that tax can be a burden, and I have recommended Smithsonian tax breaks that mr. Johson seems to be doing with wonderful speed and intelligence, wonderful that is really good, it spells good for the UK.
But at the other hand, making too much inequality in a society where the rich are much richer than the poor leads to civil unrest, breakdown of social order and thus less harmony. The principle of Democritus, that Marx picked up is actually founded in mathematics.
See how the ancients were wiser than us?
Now unity is another principle that one wants to achieve in a society. Here the mathematical principle is different from the principle of harmony. Harmony is the effect of equilibrium between two opposing factors or forces. Unity is the product of the triangle, that is a central principle to strive for as a society. A principle that gives us principles and so on.
What is then the core principle to strive for according to Iamblichus? It is what is good. Goodness in a society is the aim and the motive of any political development according to Platonism.
What is goodness in a society? According to Iamblichus, goodness is G-d.
In other words, the interpretation of spirituality is what ultimately will bring an ethical perspective of society.
In other words, making a united society is done by behaving in a good g-d inspired way.
To see what is important to everybody, to watch out for those who have too little. To be humane in the treatment of those who are citizens in a country. But also to take a stand against abuse, theft and destructive behavior of those who seek to undermine and destroy society.
All based on truth, rationality, humanity.
In other words, it is something we should agree upon as a society and then do it in a good way.
See how the ancients were bright in their ideas?
I think we are on the right track, but we need to find that middle path between peoples needs, and give everybody a chance to find a path in life. Give people a sound frame to live in, to make a good life.
Make Change, to give Hope.
G-d bless the will to do good.
Welcome mr. Trump to Denmark. As a part of a larger trip, the American president now comes to visit Denmark. This is good in many ways, not least because we share a common heritage and have fought besides each other many times.
We share destiny and many other small and large things here in life.
As a recommendation to the Danish public, I have recommended the good attention from all of Denmark, and it seems to me, that this is what is going to happen.
To be honest, there has been a lot of negative press on mr. Trump in Denmark, but hopefully this will be a bit less when the visit comes. It is seen as a bad manners to treat a guest negatively, and consequently I hope, that the press will respect the visit as a positive thing.
There are two leaders in the country. One is the queen, and the other is the newly elected PM of Denmark. Ms. Mette Frederiksen. Both really strong and honorable women. The queen was the first to reach out to the president. She is good friends with the English Queen, so perhaps the two have conferred together. Here the friendship of mr. Trump to the English queen is most helpful.
At the other hand, I must say, that the newly elected PM of Denmark ms. Frederiksen has surprised me as more capable than I thought in the beginning. I support her as PM, and wish her all the best. She is in a difficult situation trying to balance some of the things that the old guard of the liberal are doing with some of the new things going on in the liberal camp. She is trying her best, but as the American liberals know, this is difficult.
Anyway, be prepared for an interesting tour in our little fairytale kingdom.
I hereby support the visit with all my heart. I truly hope that the two countries will be strengthened in terms of cooperation and shared interests.
G-d bless the relationship between Denmark and the United States of America.
Well, the UK is in a bit of a bind. On one hand, the EU is trying its best to hinder the trade of UK into the EU, at the other hand, the US is really doing its best to help the UK.
But what are really the mechanics of the system, and how may the UK prosper after it has left the EU?
First of all, you need to understand world trade by understanding Adam Smith. Adam Smith is the philosopher behind the trade system that we have today. He argues for free trade everywhere in the world, and the simple argument is, that in order for all to prosper trade should be free.
There is off cause an aber dabei to this. Because there are rules. Piracy, that is stealing goods from other countries in the world is wrong and should be regulated and stopped. Stealing know how is also wrong as well as copying.
But apart from that, free trade is really a good thing for the world, it gives each country or nation in Smiths perspective the ability to focus on the qualities of its own people and traditions. As we here in Denmark have an ancient tradition for shipping that goes all the way back to the Viking age, we are good merchants and have good merchantfleets as Maersk, the crown jewel of Danish industry.
The same goes for the US and the UK. By investing in research and development, the nations have develop goods that people around the world likes to buy. Like cars and aero planes.
There is a constant competition in this area, as the new gadget or product is developed.
Lately the US have had some smash hits within the telephone industry and computers due to a combination of a very good developmental startup community, some very well educated people and the right leaders.
So investing in education, first class universities and so on is not only for the benefit of the citizens, it is also an economic calculation.
Behind the scenes is a first class banking sector, that may be a bit unethical around the edges, I truly admit that, everybody admits that. But the good thing about having Jewish bankers around is the capital flow they can provide for new enterprises. Yes, off cause it has to be controlled if it is not able to do it itself. But if it is focusing on making progress within key areas, while making money on the side for themselves, everybody is happy. We even have a term for it; business angels.
But, and this is where the UK has to get used to how things work in a globalised world, there is a free flowing of production capability in the world that is destructive to the system. You can outsource your production to China and India, especially China, and that destroys the system itself.
Then R and D can be done in the US or UK at the expense of tax payer money, and then moved to another country. That destroys the balance of the system.
As a consequence, we need to put in checks and balances to counter that problem. This was done by Obama and continued, with amazing success, by mr. Trump, making a huge trade deficit with China much smaller and giving back jobs to unemployed American workers.
Not only does it lift the economy, it makes jobs and most important, it creates an industrial base for the military to work with.
The industrial complexes that the civil industry makes can be changed into making weapons.
That is conservative politics at its best, and it helps the workers as well, thereby giving that reach over the aisle in the parliament.
You can underpin the theories with Adam Smith himself, he knew it to be a potential problem, and wrote extensively about it.
His angle on it was ethics and morale. He wanted the producers to be loyal to the nation. Again a fine conservative principle.
I have worked a bit with the Danish industry, and my experience is, that they are very conservative, and WANTS to help the nation. But they feel overlooked and unappreciated.
That is why a simple tax plan that will show some appreciation of the nation towards the industry and the banking that is loyal to the flag will help tremendously.
They feel that they truly contribute, they obviously do. So they should be recognized for this.
Napoleon talked about official recognition. Giving medals. The queen does that. But the state can also help by showing some praise on those who are still loyal within the business community.
It has worked wonders in the US, and should provide the same relief for the UK.
Trump has already made good strides as well as Barack Obama.
So some experience has been built. Not to mention, that mr. David Cameron initiated the process in the UK, making progress with it as well.
G-d bless the prosperous Great Britain.
Bringing the UK into the international power game again, will be a very difficult task indeed. Essentially the UK has been out of the game for 60 years, ever since the Second World War, so there is a bit of a gap to close.
Anyway, the power game of the great powers is essentially a tug and give game. You tug a little here, you give a little there, and slowly but surely get your way in things. In fact actually fighting is pretty rare.
The situation is like this; Russia and the US is still fighting the Cold War game under the surface. Mr. Putin and mr. Trump are two opponents, who fight each other in terms of allies.
Especially in the Middle East, this confrontation goes on to this day. I tried to stop it, and make som equilibrium. But that has not worked 100%. There is more peace between Russia and the US than there used to be. But it is still in function in the Iran confrontation, where Russia backs Iran, otherwise Iran would not be so bold.
Getting tangled up in this power play would be absolutely stupid. If the UK wants to play an independent role, it should off cause play its ressources according to its own needs.
What is the needs of the empire? Well, that is quite obvious, it is to mend some of the glaring holes that there is in the empire.
For 60 years, the borders of the empire has been crumbling, and untold horrors have been the result. Just ask the Rhodesians and now the South Africans. There has been an ethnic cleansing of the servants of England.
That has to stop, if the UK is in any way able to do that.
There are many internal allies of this process, as the church and the queen. So there are plenty of players to set in motion.
Now, international power game is not about winning, it is mostly about diplomacy backed by a military machine.
My best advice would be to send the marines to South Africa, try to mend the fences there. South Africa is a crying and horrible problem. Here the descendants of the Boer and Brits are run into conzentration camps and generally lynched in the streets.
It is not so open, but if you see some of the footage that Ms. Lauren Southern did, extremist in South Africa is pretty open about their ideas.
This has to stop, some pressure on the current government should be put. Send some of the flagships to the southernmost point of Africa, and defend those poor people there.
This confrontation has the advantage, that mr. Putin is on our side on this issue, he is also terrified and disgusted by the actions of the South African government.
This is not about race, it is about stopping a tragedy.
In essence, it is about finding those bleeding wounds around in the empire, and start solving the confrontations there.
And it is about justice, we should not embark on new colonial ventures, but stop the injustices.
G-d bless the might of the United Kingdom’s.
Finally some movement in the game of British politics. About time. Let me start by thanking Mrs. May. Seriously. I know that politics can be a brutal game, and especially for you Theresa. There were times, where things just seemed to be too difficult for anyone to fathom. But please look at the things from outside. The task is monumental, and cannot, just cannot be solved in a forthnite.
Now Boris can enter the fray, and get the deal everybody wants, at least at the British side of the pond. And that is just the way it is.
Anyway, thank you for your service Mrs. May, I have tried to do my best to try and help, but we had too much of a system against us.
But we did win the last election at least, no one can take that away from us.
So, now comes the show down for mr. Johnson.
First of all, what we need to think about, apart from Brexit, is what happens AFTER Brexit. There is no doubt, that Brexit will be a daunting task. But I am sure Boris is the man to do it. He has the skill, the men behind him, and he has a good ally in Mr. Trump.
So, he will, hopefully, set the cause pretty fast, and then leave Europe at its own for a while.
Europe will falter and decay, while as GB will bloom.
BUT for that to happen again, think about the first ball to kick into the stadium; economy. Mr. Trump is building on the system that I invented together with mr. Barack Obama. A system that combines the needs of the workers, with the needs of the industry and thereby military.
According to Paul Kennedy, the power of a great nation lies in its industrial base. Why did GB get so strong in the 18 hundreds? Because of the industrial revolution. The industrial revolution gave GB a tremendous edge compared to the other great nations. Why? Well, if you can get to things faster, can build larger boats, and so on, you can rule the waves.
So, in order to regrow the potential of British might, a renewed focus on the workers and the industrial base is paramount.
According to the great philosopher Adam Smith, that gave us free market thinking, we have to balance free markets with the loyalty and ethics of the producers of goods.
See? There is an important balance there. Trump and the US has found that balance, and is currently outperforming China, the true great contender on world domination.
Secondly. You HAVE to cut the gordic knot of migration and repatriation. The left is VERY much against any talk about control in this area. Somehow it seems the left rather wish to commit suicide, than take a reasonable and quite normal view on this. I mean, a country can itself decide who goes where in and out of the country, that is the normal. It has to be done in a fair and civilized way. People shouldn’t be treated unfairly. But the victims of working class areas, that are often very much crushed under the weight of islamistic organizations, should be protected.
If need be, the Islamist, in the UK should be send back to where they originally came from. This is not a threat to all migrants in the country. But trying to subvert democracy is not acceptable.
Then people will cry islamophobia. But terrorist are not the true face of positive Islam, they are wrong, and should be treated as such.
Then again, good, hardworking Muslims, who are not a threat to anyone should off cause be truly accepted. At least that is as I view it.
Anayway, point being, that there are a lot of difficult questions that come AFTER Brexit, that you could just as well prepare the team to have a view on.
What about precense in the Middle East. What about the Anglican Faith, can we perhaps support its good development a bit more.
In this I truly believe, that his excellency rev. Justin Wellby should be supported very much, we should listen to his wise words, and try to follow his lead. After all, he has affinity to mr. Churchill as well, and the queen off cause.
I do also feel, to me, that rev. John Sentamu is also a wise man indeed, someone I am much inspired by. So the two of the are good guys to give notice. They are ethical persons, we should listen to.
So there are a lot of tasks to look at, but always look at the core; the unity of the country, not the fractioning that some other seem to want. But the unity of those who are truly a supporter of the Great Britain.
G-d bless the islands of the British.
Congratulations mr. Boris Johnson, after at long process going here and there, finally there is release, and we got somewhere.
As a supporter of you specifically and the UK in general, this is my work coming into fruition, so I must say, that I am most satisfied with this development. This is really good. I know that I only work as a kind of vehicle for some of the powers and unseen Oxfordian strengths, I know that. But being a medium for such esteemed forces leaves me quite humble.
Let us be honest about this, the great mother of all of England; Oxford has called into the wild of the Danish swamp and morass, and the vile but strong defender of the isles of England has come forth to join in the fray.
Alas, my great and humble honour, is to give you my dedicated blade of ancient strength and valour, to your help and ultimately freedom.
Let the old words speak said mr. Churchill. Let the vile but strong g-ds of old, whom England now gets its strength from speak again, to confront the viciousness of a trembling empire, an empire that now seeks to regain its footing.
Let the powerful and strong spirit of the old, be the well of strength that will, once again, be the backbone of that wonderful country. Let it raise its banner again, to show its true colors.
I will be here to shed some light on the process that will set England free, so in this I will serve, unsung and for free.
But that will be my pleasure, to see how that great culture that I personally love so much. That country of mystery and towering art. That home of litterature, that wonderful, wonderful country now suffering, will once again rise, as the bird phoenix, again remaking its feathers, rebuilding its abode.
Because it is now time, to make the UK great again.
G-d bless you, and may that tear finding its way down my chin, be the last.
There are always a lot of things happening in the underground of each wing of the political spectrum. Sometimes these things are good, sometimes these things are bad.
To me, as a Jew, it normally rests upon how these underground developments look upon Jews.
I see Jews as the kind of canary in the coal mine.
If new trends are antisemitic, they are usually riddled with conspiracy theories, wacky ideas about who control the world, and have awful ideas about how to make the world.
At the other hand, if the ideas are prosemitic, the ideas are often, not always, but often idealistic about enlightenment, humanism, all the good ways of the world.
Ok, I admit, that many Jews do things wrong, to mention a few; Marxism (Marx was a Jew), in the Ottoman Empire there was a crazy Kabbalist Jew who professed all kinds of marvel, but ended up being a fraud.
There are many both wonderful and horrifying stories in the history of mankind where some Jews took this and that idea to the extreme.
Anyway, my point is, the heritage that we Jews try to protect, the best we can, is filtered goodness. All the bad guys were lost, and only the good guys remain. Like David, Jesus, Niels Bohr, and many more more or less famous Jews, who have pushed humanity forward in a positive direction.
So to look at the new things going on in the underground of your own political environment, one should look at the way they think.
Both right as well as left have, honestly, come up with some pretty nasty new developments as of late. On the right wing, neonazism is on the rise, at least in Central Europe.
I cant count all the times where some punk drive by shoots me on Facebook to tell me about all the negative things Jews are to blame for in the world.
It is disgusting.
This trend has all the paraphernalia of antisemitism, including conspiracy theories, a firm belief in an alternative truth to the rest of us, and virulent hathred of Jews, it is disgusting.
The same goes for the left wing. Here it is the same, whereas the right wing have Nazies the leftwing have all these crazy islamists.
They also believe in conspiracy theories and blame the Jews for everything.
So, my conclusion is, that we have good and bad things going on on each wing of politics, sometimes our bad sides emerge, sometimes the underground is filled with wonderful new ideas. As when Eliphas Levi wrote his stories about a socialism that took care of the poor, and tried to warn about famine.
Look at the name of that guy, he wasn’t even a Jew. But a French priest.
The same goes on for my heritage, that of Grundtvig. He hired my great grandfather to found his hoejskole Vallekilde. My great grandfather was a Jew, and so on.
Sorry, but I am just so proud of my great grandfather. He was an amazing person.
Anyway, we have to be wary about antisemitism in our own political project. Nothing good comes with it, and if we realize it is there, on each wing, we should distance ourselves from it immediately.
G-d bless the will to be transparent, and see the good of life.
To me, science or at least social science has met its Armageddon in the open borders policy mr. Soros has professed for some time.
It is simply stupid. Off cause countries cannot live with open border, its quite simply not working.
This has led me to fight for at more sensible border policy, something that has been picked up by, among others, mr. Trump.
But there is a deeper question at large here, and that is something we need to address.
Because why do socialism end up in this dead end?
To me, it has to do with one principle that Karl Marx supported. A principle that is wrong to me.
Karl Marx believed, that human societies progress in a linear fashion. First we were hunter gatherers, then we were living in cities, then nations and so on.
What if this understanding of our world i wrong? Perhaps it is not so, that history and progress just marches on. Perhaps it is shifting all the time. Sometimes we go forward, other times we go backward.
I mean, just compare the idea of the Marxist state with the family. There is no doubt, that when the idea of the family was invented by the Egyptians thousands of years back, the idea was a revolution for mankind.
This was something Marx didn’t respect, but planned a state, where the family was taken over by the state.
Has it lead to a more happy life in the socialist states where this idea still reigns supreme?
I mean, look at all the divorces, all the unhappy children, all the families that are broken and weak. Maybe all these people would be better of with a stronger family?
So to me, the progress Marx thought he invented with his ideas, is actually a step back in terms of civilization.
So as a paradoxical consequence of Marx, he actually reduced the level of civilization in the world, he didn’t further it.
In other words, perhaps we should not be so respectless with the ideas we inherit from our fathers and mothers. Perhaps the world they came from wasn’t so bad after all.
I could mention more things that I think was a turn wrong in Marxist thinking: His rejection of spirituality, his open borders policy, his belief in state absolutelism, his lack of understanding with democracy and law, so on and so forth.
I believe, we should realize that Marx was a thinker of poor quality.
So what do we do?
As I see it, we turn to the socialist that predecessed Marx, because they were actually in the right to me. Voltaire, Rousseau, and one gem, that I have begun reading lately:; Eliphas Levi.
Levi was actually the true salt of the French Revolution. He tried to build a socialist religion, and he was the one who made the revolution by his famous pamphlet: The voice of famine.
A book where he tried to tell the elite about the suffering of the poor.
Something that ended up turning French aristocracy on its head.
But he was a good man, a humanist and a defender of the poor.
We have to shed all these analyses of production capabilities and turn to the roots, talk about community again, how we help the poor.
I also believe, that we have to forget about all this hathred to the family, and start supporting that bedrock of the state and society again. Healthy families, in healthy communities, in healthy nations, in healthy federations, if we want that.
Stop going down that very hedonistic path we are going down on now, and start to care about what is truly important again.
The world is not without limits, there are limits, but those limits should be about doing the right thing to friends and family.
G-d bless the will to do good.
When Great Britain becomes free, it will once again be what it truly is; a vast, never ending empire of the West.
The lay out is already ther; a solid connection to great parts of the world, a cultural as well as an academic leading role in the world.
Top notch scientific development i all areas.
But most important; a culture that people really respect.
But there is one aber dabei. To be free, the UK needs to sacrifice some of its connections to the continent.
This will not be easy, and therefor, the independence will have to be seen for what is is; a sacrifice for at better future.
The UK will sever its ties with the continent, but it will at the same time solidify its ties with its former allies in terms of culture, system and ideas.
It is therefore both a boon as well as a sacrifice to walk that path of freedom.
But a path that I hope all in the UK will ultimately support, at least those who see themselves as a heirs to the democratic ideals of the UK.
There are negative ideologies, as those who look like letterboxes, but most will support the will to be free.
Also, it will reverberate with the friends of the UK around the world, that the UK chose to be free, reflecting their own stance here in life.
G-d bless the will to be free.
Here just before the final stretch of the Brexit Odysee, there is a good idea, that I may give to whom will be the next PM.
According to the ancients, you get freedom, but you only realize it by the strength of your arm and conviction.
In other words, we are free at birth, but to remain free in life, we need to stand up for our values, our integrity and our country.
That is the way with freedom, you may get it, but to keep it, you have to fight for it.
As it is with England. England has always been free, ok we Danes once happened to rule over England, but apart from that, it has always been free. Free from outside rule, until someone thought it was a good idea, that UK joined the EU.
Did it give the necessary freedom, no. It has given the country away to a Brussels bureaucracy, that has not thought about the freedom of each country, but rather its own control.
This is not the way of the Great Britain’s. As a part of a country that has given kings to England, this time around we will give you your freedom back. Old wrongs righted.
So this is my advice, fight for your freedom. Do not take it for granted, that you will remain free. Take your freedom back!
With this courageous act, once again you can tend to your own affairs, make your own course, and give that liberty to each of your own men and women of the Great Britain.
Ignite that fuse, let it be heard, that your generation did not falter at the task at hand. But stood up for your freedom, to give it on to generations after you.
If you go away on thirty years time, and the country will be free. It will be your doing, just imagine the honour that will be bestowed upon you.
Freedom is not free, it has to be won by the courage and hard work of each generation.
Let it be so, that this generation did not fail that task, but stood up to the task when needed.
And let it be known, that this time around, the Danes were your friends and not your vicious foe.
G-d bless the freedom of the isles of the Great Britain’s.
Well, this is it Boris, a whole life of striving, doing the right thing, trying to find that middle path between what is true and what is noble.
This is it, a potential coronation as the saviour of the Realm.
It will be an arduous task, something that only one in each generation can actually do against odds seemingly insourmountable.
But as Mr. Winston Churchill singlehandedly won the Second World War, based on a thing so mundane as decency, now your time has come to put your mark on history.
The time for the Great Britain’s to arise once again, for its shimmering peaks of skill and knowledge to manifest once again.
You are that man Boris, to take the reins of the empire, the one that is truly called for, please admit your own vanity to a place where it is not a factor. Please, sacrifice yourself for the good of the commonwealth, please be that English chap, that will swing in on his moped, and save the day with a gracious swing of his Excalibur. Be that honest, good and fine gentleman. Be that man of scholarship and excellence. Be that man of integrity, as the country needs to raise the banner once again, and call all its best heroes, its wisest philosophers and most beautiful of the roses to remake England.
Blessed be it, by the warmth of spirit and grace of that whom truly protects us from where we can only fathom its existence. G-d bless your tiny and windswept island, COME ON! And be that sturdy, stubborn, wonderful men and women we all love as our kin and friends.
If we are to unite the Americans around a subject, I believe, that it is pretty obvious what project that would potentially be. That of public service, humanism and the American dream.
What is that?
Essentially, it is about seeing the need of the society and not only our own needs. Shedding some of that me time, and look a bit to community time.
Let people meet across what would considered barriers, and things that is usually considered dividing things.
Put in motion things, that unites and does not divide.
That again is not about religion or politics, it’s about human dignity and humanity in a more general sense.
Something that is not just for one or the other system. But some things, that is potentially human.
Some say, that the soul is where ethics reside. That our connection to G-d is what teaches us about what is good here in life.
Perhaps it is that essential goodness that we need to strive for, that “yes I see you too” feeling. That is love. Not fake, not just something we pretend, but that what truly binds us together across our differences.
Find that, and the great US of A, will be redeemed.
G-d bless the United States of America.
There has been a difficult time for mr. Boris Johnson. Some leftwing extremists have sought to hinder his advent as a political leader, and the new Conservative guard in the face of mr. Farage, is also not happy about the idea that a true conservative leader will be in number 10.
You know Boris, as mr. Trump says; it comes with the territory. These are the things that modern politicians have to endure in these days.
Do not let yourself be put down, or in any other way feel threatened by this. But carry on the lightning torch of humanity and strong feeling for the country of the Great Britains.
Lest not forget the wider vision of what we are doing. It is more than just Brexit, it is the reermengence and rebirth of the British common wealth, that some still see as the Empire.
The empire is not what it used to be, but with the right leader, it may just have a comeback. Not as an expanding cultural rule, but as a solidification of the English spirit and thought.
Let Oxford live again, let the buttresses of the ailes shine with light of the coming empire.
Let English culture regrow and spread its wings again.
It may be a quaint old spinster, some say. But deep underneath, there is that tremendous personal strength. That tenacity of a people hard hit with difficulty and bad things all in all.
It has happened before, as is can now.
That the spirit of the people, will turn the tide of the destruction, and fight for another day. For another millenium, for another day of peace.
G-d bless that wonderful English people of the hardhit and yet immensely strong spirit of and island, let it prevail.
We are the brink of a possible war with Iran. I have fought to hinder this, and these are some of my more profound reflections.
Liberal Zionism is a trend, that, philosophically, has a root in Danish liberalism. I am not the first Danish/Jewish philosopher who have given something to Israel.
Herzl was the founding father of Israel, he gave us the constitution and the framework of the first Israel, at least this time around.
But philosophically and thus ideologically there was a contemporary of Herzl, and that was the Danish/Jewish philosopher Georg Brandes.
He was the leading humanistic philosopher of his time.
His ideas about enlightenment and humanism is what is the rock bottom, that liberal zionism stands on today.
So a reflection on his ideas and philosophy is what is good to think about in these days of strife and peace.
Brandes believed in a thing called “The highest enlightenment”. As I understand him, this is essentially an uncompromising search for the truth.
Truth will set you free, and serve as THE tool of Democracy.
It is also represented in the statue of liberty, the torch is the torch of truth.
You can also find a religious parallel in this idea, Michael the Archangel sets forth the sons of light. That is the fight for truth, Israel being the light upon the nations and so on.
But as a essential consequence of this; Israel is supposed to be a harbinger of light, in the sea of darkness.
This is how you find peace. Not only by walking with a big stick and talking softly, but also by criticizing and enlightening all corruption in the world.
This the legacy of Brandes, that through knowledge, wisdom and truth, can you find peace.
To be honest, the followers of Brandes here in Denmark, especially the party called “Kulturradikale”, that is cultural radicals, have not been truly able to follow this course, but has surrendered to the vilest and most destructive forces of the world. As they did with nazism, and now with islamism.
This is where I, as a follower of cultural radicalism have criticized the other liberals for not taking the virtues and values seriously.
The Obama peace process as I have been and able to help with underscores the value of Liberal Zionism, when it actually works.
I admit, that the Oslo accords was a flop. It did not work.
But I think that the rest of Israel most also admit, that what I did with Obama actually did work.
We brought peace to the Middle East. We united all the different factions of the Middle East, to fight who were the sons of darkness.
Following in the footsteps of Brandes and heeding the creed of the great archangel Michael.
That example should give som credit to Liberal Zionism, as it actually worked.
Because that is essentially the test; does it work. And it did.
G-d bless the freedom and peace of Israel.
The current conflict in the Middle East was a long time coming. Question is; does it make any sense in an American perspective, and how does it tie into the security needs of Israel?
First of all; Israel is supposed to make peace, not war. The continuing saber rattling towards Iran does not create peace, it creates war. We are supposed to be the level headed and intelligent middle ground in the Middle East. Taking each side into consideration.
There was an unbalanced power buildup in the Middle East, and the Russian/Iranian side had had too much power due to the peace process that Obama did.
This is unbalanced. But that does not give us the excuse to make a very aggressive campaign against Iran. It does give us the right to fight the proxy wars off cause. But we need to meet Iran on the level they are fighting us.
I truly believe, that things are spiraling out of control. We need to take step back, reassess the situation, and look at our true priorities. Are we really interested in starting a fruitless war in the Middle East, putting young people in harms way?
What is it we want to accomplish but peace?
Not a naive or powerless peace, but a peace between equals.
G-d bless the will to find peace.
Things are slowly heating up in the US concerning the election in 2020. Let me be clear, I will not be the one who decides anything. But I do have my champions. It is no secret, that I really like mr. Biden. Perhaps because we know each other from the Obama era. I like Joe. He is an average American, but also one who can reach left as well as right.
We need someone who can mend the fences, and make the system run again.
However, there is one thing I really believe Trump did better than what we did in the Obama era; he did get migration under control.
To have any chance of winning the next election. We need to accept his ideas about migration, and fulfill the pledges he has given in terms of protection of the country.
Uncontrolled migration and open borders simply creates too much havoc in the country, creating problems for the citizens.
It is not that people can’t come to the US, but is has to be done in the normal manner, with green cards and so on.
Not illegaly.
We also have to face, that there are some countries that are better at giving people to the US than others.
We should prefer countries of origin, that actually wants to be a part of the American dream.
That said, we need to heal, to unify, to build bridges, not antagonize our political adversaries.
Here in Denmark, we have just had an agonizing process of some of my friends actually, who had some disgusting claims.
I do not believe in senseless conflict, I believe in humanity and unity.
This is hopefully what will come.
G-d bless the United States of America.
The british political agenda is shifting rapidly. Let me be honest, I hated when I saw Mrs. May being humiliated. It was a crying and devasted PM.
Not to deliver in politics is awful. But at the other hand, we need someone with the skill not the necessary political color scheme.
That is why I condone mr. Boris Johnson as the contender for the next PM. He has the immense amount of skill needed to pull the UK out the EU whith as little harm as possible.
He IS the right man.
I remember when I was invited to Oxford some years back, at the time of Mr. Cameron. I got hold of this amazing book written by Mr. Johson. A sort of political manifesto of Mr. Johnson, written as a tribute to the greatest conservatives of all time; Wiston Churchill.
I really liked it, and it is still in my bookshelf here in Denmark.
The idea of Churchill of managing both the left and right inspired me as well. Finding the political middleground.
That is truly the talent of mr. Johnson, and that is exactly the skillset we need these times.
The Tories are in danger of total collapse.
Bring in the knight to make a round table. That is mr. Johnson.
G-d bless the will to be honest and humble in the face of the mounting task at hand.
The Middle East is at the brink of war, and I believe, that that is not a good thing.
Take it from the perspective of the Americans.
The US is in a war with China, it may sway forward and backwards a bit. But there is no doubt, that the show down is neering. It is simply not possible to have two super global powers just besides each other with no conflict.
So, there is a problem with the Chinese.
Looking at its virtues, the Chinese are extremely well organized, has an ancient culture, and has no problem with getting ressources with foul methods. The last virtue is a bit of a vice, but seen in the great power game, ruthlessness and efficiency getting ressources is a good thing.
At the other hand, China is not traditionally a fighting power. It does not, as Japan, have a tradition for military conflict. It has a tradition for defense, but over the time China has develop due to the conqerours who have taken China and defined the trajectory of the country.
It is, for good or worse, a static culture, that does not like to either develop through conquest or inspiration.
This has changed however in the later years, and China has developed through copying European traditions, especially British traditions.
So we are looking at a behemoth of the power, that has to be tackled by the West.
The US has woken up to this threat quite early, due to the work of Mr. Barack Obama, and has tried to find a way to fight China.
Late Mr. Trump has done so also. Economic warfare will off cause bring some progress, but it will end up in physical warfare sooner or later. So getting the country into that gear is pretty important.
We have wasted some time not being sufficiently agressive, but the next president will have to work and fix this challenge.
But that ties into the Middle Eastern conflict. Fighting on two fronts is pretty stupid. So using a lot of ressources in the Middle East right now, is not a good strategy. We need them in Asia.
Therefor, the course towards peace in the Middle East, is the best seen from the perspective of the US.
Then we have Israel.
Is it in the interest of Israel to fight Iran?
Well on some levels it actually is. Due to this conflict, a tight and good relationship to the Arab world has developed.
We have more friends now. Consequently, we are more at peace. It even ties into the Gaza conflict, where the Arabs are ok with abandoning Hamas, if they can work on Iran.
At the other hand, war is terrible. In terms of human lives and suffering, war is always terrible.
That is why, I have actually argued for a redemption and a plan of peace.
We in Israel shoud not be the harbingers of destruction. We should be the peacemakers.
I know, that sometimes war is inevitable. If that is so, war should be done as fast and humanely possible.
So, all in all. I do hope, that we can talk peace in the Middle East, because, honestly, that is all the best.
G-d bless the Middle East.
Now there is a chance, for at renewed positive deal in the UK.
I have proposed a deal that finds common ground between the parties in the Commons.
There is one serious recommendation that you might want to consider.
The best politician that the Conservatives have right now, is mr. Boris Johnson. He has the ability to make bridges and find compromise.
Perhaps he would be the ideal candidate to engage in the negotiation process?
If he can deliver here, he can perhaps be the next PM also, and Mrs. May can redraw back to a dignified role in the party. Respected and beloved.
The compromise is what is all about, and even though there are radical elements in Labour, there are also more midleaning elements. Perhaps a compromise with them could be possible.
G-d bless the UK.
We Jews uphold a tradition called Purim, every once a year we celebrate the miracle of the rescue of the Jewish people around 2500 years ago.
According to the story the Jewish people was held hostage in Persia by the Persian empire. A great and vast civilization at the time.
According to legend the evil Haman sought to put the Jewish people to the torch, but by divine providence queen Esther (the name of my second daughter) went to the emperor Xerxes and he decided to trust the Jews.
What can we learn from that story? Well first of all, I suppose it is about the relationship between Jews and Iranians. When we are at our best, we can be friends. When we are loving, intelligent, go with G-d, there is peace and rejuvenation to be found.
But when we descend into egoism and selfishness, the opposite is the case.
I believe, that we as Jews should be neutral.
Now the great peace treaty, that I am almost the only one to upheld was based on these ideas.
I know, that they seem unrealistic now, and perhaps soon things will deteoriate.
But let us remember this moment, that moment of Purim, when we actually found each other in peace.
Perhaps that will be the saving grace, when things start to go bananas again.
G-d bless the peace we can find on this place called earth.
So, the peace negotiations between the US, the rest of the world, and Israel is at hand.
First of all, as a religious Jew, I believe what we need to base our opinion on, is the peacefulness of our adversaries.
That is why, that I have criticized that people of Gaza so much, they are not interested in peace, but seem to foil all attempts at truly finding a peaceful solution.
At the other hand, as I see it, we cannot say the same about the Westbank, and I know that many religious Jews, especially the settlers are prone to take away that land from the Arabs.
But how can we do that, if they wish us no harm?
That is essentially the ethical debate that should be the axis of our negotiation.
We wish to find peace, but that should be based on a strong ethical base.
We can fight the Gazans and other who wish to do us harm, but we cannot fight people who wish us no harm.
It is the position of David vs. Goliath. We need to have a moral cause for our fight.
With this attitude, we are able to find friends with both warring parties. That is east and west.
We will not find peace, if mr. Putin do not allow us such.
Therefor, we need to understand his perspective as well.
We as Jews will have to earn his respect as a devout Christian to succeed in this mission.
G-d bless the will to find peace.
It is a problem that we are not able to get past the actual point of really leaving the European Union.
We should do that.
And we should do that by trying to reach a good deal with the socialist part of the Commons.
I know, that Mr. Corbyn is a difficult man to work with, since he is very idealistic in an uncompromising way.
Well, since that is so. We will have to find other people in Labour who are willing to find common ground.
Fight for that compromise, that people wish to find.
After that, there will be a new situation, where we can find solutions to all the difficulty that lie in the wake of all the problems that the aloof EU bureaucracy has give to Britain.
But as the queen once said; get on with it. Find a way, and make sure, that there is ample room for developments on a British constitutional platform after the Brexit negations has finished.
G-d bless the fair isles of Britain.
Things are charging forward in the international community. I however believe, that it is essentially the same players doing the different works of construction and destruction.
I have wrought my head around the late twin fires of the cathedral of Notre Dame at the same time as the mosque on the top of the Temple Mount.
These two things seems intermingled, and somehow represents the potential for a Christian/Muslim conflict.
There is no doubt, that that is what players as the Islamic State really wants, and what everybody else tries to run away from.
So far, the dictum of Democracy against the Islamic State has held quite firm, and has created the workings of peace.
Throw into the mix the victory of Mr. Netanyahu and the promise of annexing the West Bank for Israel, we have a bit of a dangerous situation.
First of all, what we need to remember, is the great ally Israel has in mr. Trump. There has been no greater ally to Israel since, well, never.
This allegation is a thing I truly believe we should appreciate, even though I was against him in the American election, and probably will be in the next.
His needs should be prioritized, so his peace plan should be on the top of the list when it comes to what we need to take into account.
Peace is made through understanding of alliances.
We have worked quite hard to make peace with the Arabs and the Shia.
The peace with the Arabs is still holding, and should not be tampered with. It is vital.
The peace with the Shia is worse, so I do hope that mr. Trump can make his plan come through even though things have gone awry a bit lately.
But this amazing love from the US, should be really credited and held up as a great thing.
This ties into the political space of maneuverability in and around Israel.
My take was to repatriate a great many of the Gazans, since there will be no peace unless these people are unable to dig tunnels, send rockets and death kites in over Israel.
So a repatriation of Gazans could make a lasting peace.
On the other hand, the West Bank Arabs have not been so agressive towards Israel, and to take all their land would be a mistake I believe.
To counter them on a moral basis, we should be clear about our motives, and they should be sound.
Therein lies the balance, and hopefully mr. Netanyahu and mr. Trump can find the right balance.
Any kind of peace treaty is welcomed wholeheartedly by all who love the Middle East.
G-d bless Israel.
The world tends to move in interesting ways, as one of the movers and shakers of the international political world, it seems to me, that the progress I have been able to create seems to last.
After mr. Barack Obama left from office, the Socialdemocratic world has lapsed back to a pre Obama ideology. It is pro Palestinian, all in on gender, identity politics, climate and so on.
This has become a tomb for Socialdemocratism. You can see it in the election passed in Israel, Socialdemocratism wiped out. In France, mr. Macron is hanging in a loose thread.
The ideas behind the current cultural Marxism simply is not a viable set of ideas.
The exception to the rule is mr. Barack Obama. His way; Change, has led the US from a decaying Empire to a sound rebounding. The Eagle is flying again.
Still the US is licking its wounds, gathering energy to the next fight that is coming. But it is stable, things are going in the right direction, and most important of all: American Democracy is healthy and getting better. The city on that shining hill is cleaning its windows and polishing its handles.
The same goes for Socialdemocratism in Denmark in fact, we are nearing election time, and the Socialdemocrats are winning by a healthy margin in all polls.
That is Change.
So we are slowly gearing up for a new presidential election. It seems that mr. Biden is elected as the president candidate. That is marvelous. I know that man as a good man, and I will happily help him all the way.
It is also good for American Social Democratism, because this means, that Change is still coming, bringing Hope.
G-d bless the United States of America.
What does no deal really mean? Well, it is quite obvious, when you think about it. It means renegotiation.
The problem with this current very prolonged negotiation, is the fact, that the right compromises have not been made. To make a deal, that is truly possible to wrench through the commons, one must find the balance between the issues that tear people apart, and then find the true middle ground.
That is what is missing.
What I like about no deal, is the fact, that it actually gives the parliament a wider berth towards the EU bureaucracy.
The terms a deal can be struck upon, are actually better, due to the fact, that the EU bureaucracy still needs a deal far more that the UK needs a deal.
But what is important though, is to find a good compromise between right and left.
Here are some of the poisonous issues:
1. Migration. Who and how many are supposed to migrate to the UK.
2. Remigration. A lot of the public wants certain parts of the migration population to be kicked out. This may be an issue hard to discuss. But to truly find a compromise, you need to address the issue. My take on it has been to divide between islamists and secular Muslims. Throwing our the first and keeping an open door for the latter. There are many issues in regard to Polish and other Eastern European migrants that has to find a compromise as well.
3. Wealthfare state. A lot of people have suffered due to austerity measures. Find a compromise that will actually work here.
4. Law and order. An issue that is hardpressing. Strengthen the security apparatus, put in the army if needs be. The gun and knife violence of London is not acceptable.
5. Church matters. Strengthen the Church in all matters possible. This institution can and will bridge some of the gaps that is in between people in the country. Campaign for the Anglican Church within migrant communities, and see if you can sway some to support the Church of England.
6. Support the royal house. This is also an institution that bridges gaps.
7. In other words, strengthen all those institution that seek to unify the divided country, and do not support those institutions that are dividing the country. Seek unity, not division.
G-d bless the fair isles of England.
It is so close now, the Great Brexit.
It seems that everything is in total chaos, and I would have wished for at better situation. But, things are as they are.
But I want you to know, that even though things seem quite desperate right now, you still have good friends. You have the US, you have Denmark, you have Israel. And with friends like that, you will prevail.
Whatever happens, you still have friends to pick you up, and support you in this the darkest hour.
We will see what happens after Brexit, but we will be there.
G-d bless the will to help, where help is needed.
Political development is pretty straightforward though difficult. It is all about finding the right “system” or political architecture in a given situation. In order to do this, one needs to have a vast knowledge about the different systems and how they intermingle.
There are basic systems, that have traditions that are ancient in their own right.
Take Democracy. The initial idea of this system came from two sources. 1. Ancient Athens that is birth-cradle of our civilisation. Here amazing philosophers as Plato and Aristotle defined what we today see as a Democracy. But, you need to know the other source of the Democratic tradition to really understand Democracy. The other source is the Viking Freestate, that was functioning in Northern Europe before the Roman conquest. That is, it was in Germany, France, UK, The Netherlands, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe.
The system was quiet advanced in its own right, since it governed most of Northern Europe for a long time.
Modern Democracy, is however a mix of the two, and has a healthy vibe of freedom in its core, the belief, that each man is in his own right (and woman of cause).
The complexity of the system we have today, with an upper house, a lower house, a royal house on the top of it, is an improved version of the Democratic system. Especially Roman Law is a good thing.
But all systems needs to adjust to the challenges is confronts. Things have to be looked upon regularly to work.
That is also the problem of the European Union. My claim is, that it has NOT been the architecture of the construct that has really been the focus of the Union, but more the economical aspects of the Union that has been the focus.
You have to make a good architectural plan before you start working on the plumbings.
To be honest, the whole shebang is crashing down. Luckily, we have renewed our understanding of Democracy in Europe, and put in a few extra chinchs in the armor.
This will hopefully create a costly but inevitable turn around of the European countries. Giving Europe a come back on the international scene as the US has just experienced.
But it will be bloody before it will get calm again, that much is pretty clear.
G-d bless the will to be honest about these things.
There has come a fissure between those on the right that likes Jews, and those on the right, that does not like Jews.
Let me be clear about my idea concerning this issue. If we start fighting each other, then we are all in problems.
I recognize, that some Jews do things that is considered despicable to some. In fact, I agree that many Jews do things that I sincerely dislike.
But that does not give meaning til all out antisemitism. In fact, true antisemitism will just destroy the progress of our cause.
There are plenty of people to chose to hate if that is what we want. Hating Jews just does not make any true sense. Because there is as many worldviews as there are Jews.
So, please, let us focus on the true fight. The fight for a sovereign nation-state with room for those who serve democracy.
G-d bless the will to see the Nation in the right light.
So the Brexit negotiation is again at a standstill. What is really the issue?
Essentially it is the equation that is wrong.
Politics is all about making ends meet. You try to understand the needs of one side, and then the needs of the other side. After then you try to find a compromise.
The problem with the Brexit negotiations is the fact, that Mrs. May has simply sought the wrong equation. In order for the deal to go down as a success in Westminster, the equation is not between the EU and the UK, but between remainers and brexiteers.
What would be a better idea, instead of solving the current crisis is to make a two legged negotiation.
First a negotiation in Westminster, THEN a negotiation with the EU.
Honestly it is a decision made by the british people, so it is their needs that need to be met. See to that, and if the EU does not want to recognize this, then go about your own way.
G-d bless the fair Islands of the British.
The European Union is in hard difficulties.
There are two possible outcomes of the current crisis, either the EU reforms or it stops as a political project.
The current trajectory makes this pretty clear.
Now, I have no problem with the European Union stopping, my plans are actually going quite well with the reinstatement of the national parliaments.
However, if the EU wants to survive, it has to realize the problems it has created.
What is the aim of a state, seen from a political/philosophical perspective?
It is to make a healthy state.
A healthy state will create progress and strength, an unhealthy state will create chaos and destruction.
But how do we create a healthy state?
Essentially it is about harmony between the limbs of the state.
There are many limbs of a state, but in the case of the EU, it is pretty clear, that the balance we need to look at, is the balance between the nationstates.
How do we ensure that balance.
Essentially the more complex a state is, the more difficulty it will have finding balance.
That is exactly the issue with the current leadership and strategy of the EU. Instead of trying to find order and simplicity, it seeks diversity. That is, it seeks to mix up as many things as possible.
Thereby diminshing the ability to create harmony.
To be honest, that is the essential problem.
Instead of working towards complexity, the EU should work towards simplicity.
It is a bit like feng sui, the ancient Chinese work of house harmony. It aims at simplicity not complexity.
If a structure is simple, it is more healthy, because there are fewer things to balance.
Therefor open borders is not good idea, closed borders is a good idea. Mashing people up is not a good idea, keeping people around other people they look and feel like is a good idea.
The process of simplification and order is therefor the logical process to make.
There is nothing wrong or immoral about it. Off cause such a process should be humane. But diversity should be turned around 180 degrees and be replaced by the quest for simplicity and harmony.
G-d bless the will to be honest about these things.
There has been a rise of negative sentiment against Jews in Europe, both on the right as well as the left side of the parliament.
Let me be frank about this development. If you believe in G-d or not, hating Jews has always been the doom of any empire, while as loving Jews has been a blessing.
The most competent and strong empires have ultimately been overcast by the Jews. Take the Roman Empire, that tried to kill the Jews in Palestine, it ended up as a servant of Jews.
Take the Greek that met is demise in a grand destructional funeral pyre, fighting the Jews. Take Hitler, take Communism.
As soon as you target that obuiquotus little people you end up in the dustbin of history.
That is the collected history of mankind.
If you do not know what Jews are, then perhaps you would see them as evil and scheming. And to be honest, there are many evil and scheming Jews. Or rather we are not always fighting in the open. Often we fight behind the curtains. I admit that.
But if you look at the core of Jewish thought, that of the Kabbalah and the Jewish religion, it is all about loving your neighbour as yourself and trying to make peace.
Now we Jews are not easily swayed around, but we are not stupid either. We know when there is a enemy coming, and we fight it. We are good fighters, very good fighters.
But at the other hand, we are also the most loyal and best friend you can ever have.
We never forget those who help us, never.
So, I believe that all that is tempted at fighting the Jews should truly consider if they are willing to take on an enemy, that has nothing against anybody except those who seek to twart them.
Picking an enemy out of sheer spite and without any sense at all, is not conducive to your fight. It is like picking a fight with that strong guy sitting as an onlooker in a game, instead of fighting your opponent on the court.
It doesn’t make any true sense.
Please consider this, as the conservative movement of Europe arises.
G-d bless the will to be honest about these things.
It seems to me, that the empire is back. Strange as it is, this is what has happened.
In a day, where empires are supposedly long gone, and the West is committing suicide, that is a pretty impressive feat done by the Brits.
As things progress, and Great Britain finds its own feet, slowly the empire will appear again.
There are many wounds and problems that will have to be healed and adressed before England is wholly healed, and I for one believe, that it is not about the domination upon anyone, but the freedom of those who see themselves as English.
There are bits and pieces of the old empire that is still some kind of dependent on the parliament in Great Britain, but these areas should be respected and enrolled in the common wealth on a sound politics.
The rest; Australia, New Zealand, Gibraltar, Falkland Island and so on, should convene under one common rule to be a strong factor in the international game of thrones.
Winter was coming, but with the valiant support of such mighty heroes of the brexiteers, the guards are still performing their duty, defending the realm.
Good will win eventually.
So, well done Brits, things are looking rather bright in the future. Free at last, and with a bright future.
G-d bless the fair islands of the Brits.
So the final deadline for the division between Great Britain and the EU is finally at our doorsteps.
As your best international friend, and true servant. This is my advise.
For the time being, I watch a really good movie on Netflix (no I am not sponsored), it is called Black sails, and describes the pirates of the Caribbean. A time of lawlessness and criminality. But also a time of great seamanship and rowing boats.
There are villains and there are heroes. At the center is the Captain Flint. A former marine captain gone renegade due to some misconduct on the side of the English state.
This brave individual turned criminal because he was abused by the Crown.
As a consequence he went to war to counter the feeling of misconduct. Things like that happened a lot in that times. When Nelson fought at Trafalgar, the seamen never got their due recognition.
This is not a time for rifts between crown and seamen. This a time for all to unite and share the burdens of the yoke.
If Englishmen do that, none can put a dent in their shining armor. None can push them here or there.
The spirit of the viking ancestors, and their unbowing demeanor is what England is about. The fire for freedom.
That is the core. That the Brits will remain free, unbound by any who seek to put down this proud people.
Use that as an anchorpoint and guiding star in the next few weeks, see to, that the Englishmen, Welshmen, Irishmen and Scots remain free to roam the sea at their shore.
Let none tell them what to do, but themselves.
G-d bless the United Kingdom.
