We have a problem about talking about the true depth of the terrorist issues.
I know why, because I have just started reading the book; The gentlemans guide. We all like to be gentlemen, at least those of us who aspire, to be a part of some sort of civilised society.
The problem is just, a lot of the migrants, be it islamists, christians or druze, do not aspire to be gentlemen. They aspire to carve out a piece of territory, they can claim for themselves.
This is the truth. So while we strive to be civil, not step on each others feet, treat all with courtesy, the newcomers do all they can to step on our feet, to make us move.
This inequality is the basis of the true conflict. Because, not being able to tackle the problems in the first place gives room for the conflicts to grow. Where it in the first place was truly harmless small conflicts that we have shied away from, it has now grown to some truly devastating conflicts.
That is why I have, as a truly civilised person, insisted on discussing the problems we have with migration. Not on a racist base, or a inhuman base, but on an enlightened base. One example; it has been very difficult to discuss the persecution of minorities within many migrant communities in public. The outright persecution of gays, blacks, whites, women, christians, and all who deviate from the norm of the migrants.
Discussing this has been taboo in the mainstream. Well, that is not helping the minorities. As a consequence we see atrocities done to the minorities in Denmark. As an example we have seen the Gay pride being stoned out of a part of Copenhagen.
The list goes on.
I know that this seems ungentlemanly, because why bother with these things? We ruin the tone and so on.
Because, I believe that there is a deeper conflict between our rules of being a gentleman and the rules of enlightenment.
To enlighten, that is to insist on the rational debate on all issues of state, is in opposition to the rules of not stirring up the public.
Therefor I think we need to realise, that in some areas, we need to stop being gentlemen, and start, seriously, to discuss the problems at hand.
It will seem uncivilised, but the consequence of being gentlemen, and not truly tackle the academic problems, will cause harm to all who deviate to norms that I as a liberal, will not tolerate. The weak are supposed to be protected by the state. Our minorities are the weak, and we need to protect them.
G-d bless the will to be true.
In the crisis we are in right now. On one hand the direct attack by democratic fighting islamists, and at the other hand the rising fear for racism, is the problem. I can feel it myself when I walk the streets. We need at strategy, that, at one hand quells the enemies we have, and at the other hand counters the budding racism.
This is really the difficulty we face.
It is a very keen problem, and doing nothing will just end us in absolute chaos.
What we need to do, is to face islamism. We need to look it into the eyes and do something about it.
This is what everybody agrees upon, there is just one major problem; the secret services, that are tasked with the problem, does not seem to live up to expectations.
Whenever the political class asks the police to do something about it, the answer is, that they do not have the tools.
Well, when I worked with programmers in the IT business. We often met problems we could not solve. My answer was always, well that is not my problem, you need to solve it anyway. That is; get creative.
Securitywise, we are facing a new threat that cannot be tackled with the tools we have, well then we have to make new tools.
The problem here is just, that the secret polices are extremely uncreative, and when they do come up with something then it is always pointing the gun in the wrong direction; that is on islamcritics and not on the islamists.
At least that is what I experience myself. I cannot say if that is a general trend in other countries.
Anyway, to make new tools, you have to work within the limits of the constitution. We are not tyrannies or corrupt police states. We are democracies, so we obey the law.
Here is when it gets difficult, because what is within law?
When we are talking about islamists, remember we are not talking about religious groups, we are talking about groups that are mainly political. They use religion, but their aims are not religious, they are political. They aim at a political system called the caliphate, with an undemocratic law system called sharia. A POLITICAL aim.
That is very important, because within our constitutions, religions as such are protected. But political groups that seek to overthrow the democratic state are not protected by the same democratic state, they are enemies.
This principle will ensure that we are within the bounds of human rights and the basic ideas about a democratic states. It is not all muslims, but muslims that are fighting or supporting the caliphate and the connected sharia law system.
When my predecessors Rousseau and Voltaire worked on the first French republic, there was one part of the Aristotelian framework of a democratic institution, they did not work much with, that is the DEFENCE of the state. This gave us a problem in the Naziera where an antidemocratic part (the Nazis) could use the democratic system to hollow it out and change it into a tyranny.
What is the real defence against such a scenario? It its the control of the citizenship. A citizenship is really a green card to the democratic process. What you get when you get to be citizen, is a vote in the election of government.
The defence of the democratic state is then simple; if you are not loyal to the democratic institutions, the you are not entitled to a citizenship.
If you are not a citizen, then you do not have a permanent claim on residence in the state you may be in. You can be thrown out.
That is, in all its cruelty and radicalism, the tool that is envisioned in the defence of democracy. It is not my idea, it is the idea of Aristotle, and therefor an idea of Athens, the first true democracy.
Now reality is never easy to handle, and if you do not do anything, then the consequences are often worse than doing something.
So let me repeat. The secret services needs to round up islamist, and supporters of islamists and send them through a legal process, if they are loyal to our democratic institutions, then they may stay, otherwise they will lose their citizenship and must find somewhere else to live, that is closer to their political aspirations.
This will work. But it will be tough. The alternative is however, full fledged racewars.
G-d bless the peace we will find in the end.
The time is ripe for government action against the infiltrating islamist fighters, if not, civil war will erupt. It is as simple as that.
If the state does not deliver on security, the people will look elsewhere.
This calls for some pretty tough decision making, and some tough action.
Let us have a look at it.
There are one overwhelming danger right now; the threat of islamism. The flag carrier being the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas (for some), Islamic State and a number of connected groups to this ideology.
They hate our democracy, and fight for the muslim caliphate.
An idea, that did work until it was dismantled in Turkey about a hundred years ago.
Well, if you fight that fight, you are an enemy.
What is the situation? First of all, we do already fight them in Syria and Iraq, and we are winning. All of us, that is Russia, the US, France, Great Britain and the rest of the coalition.
But the imminent victory brings new tactics to the islamists, that primarily being of mass killings of westerners.
They hate us, and therefor they kill us.
What do we do about that. First of all, we continue the fight in the Middle East, but we now need new tactics in Europe, the US and Russia. That is old democratic, viking heartland. Even Australia and New Zealand is in problems.
This is not about race, it is the traditions of democracy and freedom that was, and is a part of viking culture, that they hate.
How do we then tackle this threat?
We differ between those muslims that support the Islamic state and the muslims that support our democratic ways.
That is, basically, a sound and simple principle, but the effect is, however, much more complicated. Why?
First of all, because there are two other principles we then have to discuss as an effect of this decision. Firstly we need to discuss the breath of the problem. That is, how many islamists do we talk about? If you are an islamist, that is a caliphatist, do we then target you if you are violent, or also if you are nonviolent? That is, what about the great background of peaceful islamists, that create the frame and the nourishing of the violent islamists. What do we do about them?
Secondly, what do we do? Do we repatriate them, that is throw them out of the country? Do we emprison them? Do we put them in ghettos? This is an ethical discussion. Because they are enemies, but they also human beings, we have to treat them with dignity.
This is a discussion we need to have, in all spheres of power, right now, not tomorrow, not yesterday, but now.
The states need to show the populace, that they are able to act, and will do what is necessary to tackle the situation.
The discussion should be open to interpretation, and should be public, in order for people to have their say. It should be the people who decides, not only us intellectuals and politicians. We have a dangerous situation, we need the consent of the people for our actions, otherwise they will act on themselves.
So we should launch ideas and models of action, and listen to what the people says, and then take action.
At the same time, we should realise, that we are in for a long haul. This will take time, and we will be in this fight for some years. The outcome is not given, and we will end up a bit weaker than what we were in the 18´hundreds just after Napoleon, but we will be reasonable strong, strong enough to solve the problem.
But we need to act now, otherwise it will be civil war, and that will end the Western civilisation as we now it, and probably leave the scene to Russia and China to fight over. With all respect to the two nations, but it is not in the interest of Europe or the US to be torn into pieces, just because the states did not have the capacity to take charge.
We have the material means, but we need the will to do something about it, we should take that will, and do it.
G-d bless the peace we are striving for, and will only win, if we act to curb this problem before it gets out of hand.
Not again, this is the first thing you think when you hear about another terror attack, not again. Now another one in Nice, one of the most beautiful towns in the world, now smeared with blood.
Orlando, the Vilks committee, Charlie Hebdo. Attacks on innocent civilians. This is disgusting.
But I think, we should wheel this around, in our grief, we should not only think about what we are loosing; our security, our peace, but what we can win; our values, our freedom our democratic rights.
Because this fight is more than a fight against terrorists, it is a fight for our own democratic institutions. The islamic state wants that exactly; an Islamic state. We have our own perfect state, called the democratic state.
And all these attacks are not only on people, they are on the idea of the free man in a free country. Able to do what he wants within the frames of a just law, be free in his speech and honest in his daily business of his political views.
Let us fight for something, instead as against something. Let us fight for what we believe in, what we have inherited from so many brave women and men before us, who shed their lives on beaches and in trenches.
The fight for our freedom.
G-d bless the republic of France.
I am sad, about what is happening in the US now, just seeing all the films and the movieclips about people who are devasted, makes tears flow down my cheeks. It is horrible.
However, you need to turn this around. It is bad, but it is in no way irreparable. You need to turn it around and see, that each day, in all across the country, there is a wonderful nation full of hope and positivity.
It is not the end of the world.
Use this to enforce your own humanistic values, where is it written, that each man is the same. There is no such thing as different races. There is no such thing as strangeness because of colour, we are one, under the gaze of spirit.
When we came into this world, it was without any colour on our skin, it was as a spark of G-d.
Then someone put different meaning to us due to our skin colour. This is wrong, there are not difference in our ways. Just difference in the pigment of our skin.
Let us walk that walk, where we, hand in hand, shed our differences, and look at each other as persons, not as black or white or brown. But as individuals, as sparks of G-d.
Because in the realisation of what we are lies a truth. We are, as men, much too elevated in what we are, as to succumb to the race fight.
We should remember who we are, by the grace of G-d we came into this world, and so we still are.
G-d bless the pain and suffering of this who lost their dear ones, may G-d bless America.
It is really with great sadness I hear about all the race infighting in the US. This is not how the US was envisioned in the beginning. The equality between the peoples of the US, is the very lifeblood of the founding fathers ideas. The idea, that equality between people would bring harmony, is true.
I am not saying, that you cannot control who gets in to the country and who do not, but those who originally made the country, should be able to live along together.
What does that require? As the great rev. Martin Luther King says, it requires that all are protected by the rights of the state. Civil rights is for everyone. That is why it is so extra important that the police are the most non racist in the country. Because they control the rights. If they veer off on a racist cause, then the civil rights body is not neutral as it is supposed to be.
I know that you may feel that “whites” have it less good. I know that there is a such a feeling. But sometimes you feel like going haywire and start shouting and just do whatever you want. It is like that with human beings, there are initial feelings that has to do with our natural inclinations. The problem is just, if we follow these natural inclinations, we end up in a society where the strong rules.
Civilisation, or civil rights, is about refining our inclinations, and bring a higher level of society. A society where we are able to live side by side red, white, green, yellow, whatever the colour.
This is what the US is about, being civilised and thereby having the opportunity to be free from violence and the rule of strong.
I believe it is about looking at the positive ideals, instead of getting sucked into the negative blame game. The US is a harmonious society, where people live side by side, despite their colour.
G-d bless the United States of America
Now there are pitfalls for Great Britain, and there are potential benefits for the realm of the sovereign nation of the Brits.
First of all, there seems to be a great threat in the composure of the highlanders against the rest. With the usual Celtic highlander spirit the great clans are not greedy, and yet not satisfied either.
Scotland is the land of the Picts, and though it has been long gone, the days of the druids and holy water, the unique cultural difference is still there.
We, vikings has dispelled celts from all of Europe, and as a consequence there is still bitterness.
But we as who hail from the strong G-ds, do also understand some of power and the beauty of the celtic spirit. We may not take it all in, but the bonny tale of the young hero is something I believe, we have learned a bit from.
But now we need to work together again, and that will only mean one thing; understanding across the threshold of cultural differences, to be open to strengths of each culture, to meet on common ground.
Lest all the differences will grow into war.
So I believe, that the way forward now, is to meet with openness and trust. We know that the Scots dreams of indepence and freedom, but let us be honest. This dream is unrealistic in its true sense. There is no way that the Celts will inhabit all of Europe again. That time is over.
But there is a possibility to throw down the axe, and make peace. For now, until the great highlanders agree to fight again. Let us hope, they find a worthy foe, someone, that truly wants to kill them. Because we do not anymore, we are long passed that point.
G-d bless the Celts, and may they live and prosper.
To understand what is truly going on Europe right now, we should also look a little of the roots of the Union, that is method wise.
I read a lot of books on magic, I know many people think this is weird and probably occult in some way. But to me, after having read Jung, I realised that the roots of psychology is the magical tradition of hermetism, Kabbalah and so on. The discussion of magic is really where a lot of the groundbreaking ideas come from. Things that are then going mainstream under different forms. NLP is one of them, there is a lot of Kabbalah in the music industry as well, and so on.
Back to the EU. EU uses magic in a convoluted and warped form. Magic is often the use of spells, specific words and so on. The EU uses this in abundance, power words as; integration, islamophobia, Brexit. They probably do not know that they are using a form of magic, but just sees it as tools of statecraft that they can use steering the public in certain ways.
This is really the problem. You cannot use black magic, if you want to steer the way onto a path of light. It is black magic, if you use spell casting to your own advantage and not to the advantage of good.
Black magic is perhaps an arcane word, but you get my idea, right?
Acting behind closed doors, using manipulation to steer the general populace onto a specific path that you see as good, does not work in the 21 century. In these internet times, openess, honesty and the fight against injustice is really the best path.
We are the warriors of light, and therefore, by the grace of spirit, do we stand by the little man, the persecuted, the left behind. We stand for openess and trust. If the tyrants and sons of darkness veer their evil heads, we will fight it.
I know that the EU does not see itself as evil, but if you manipulate, use black magic, and hide behind closed then you are, well; evil.
G-d bless the light of the creator.
It is hard to predict the future the saying goes. But let us have a look at what is going on the UK now, and the potentail ramifications for the rest of EU and of cause for the English.
First of all, things seem to wheel off from the EU mainstream, immediately. It is like the Brits can’t wait to get the shackles off, and get going. They talk about the promises they made, and how to react to it. These are serious gamechangers.
Secondly, if we truly look at the perspective of a rebounding UK, there are, in those cards the potential for a reemerging superpower. UK has connections to all its former empire partners, and is still seen as the leading light in terms of philosophy, new ideas and political savvy.
Go to China and see how they revere the UK.
So looking a bit ahead, I think there is a good chance that the Brits will once again roam the seas on their viking vessel, though this time a bit more sophisticated than a thousand years ago.
But, all hail to the Brits, may you live and prosper!
G-d bless the fair islands of the Brits.
When we are confronted with the chaos and the insecurity of a world that seems to lack meaning, it can be a good thing to take a step back and truly understand what we are good at, us humans.
One of the problems of the Socialist revolution, was, that we forgot one very important thing from religion, what religion is truly about; finding meaning.
What is meaning? Meaning is to understand what is good. in socialist societies the rejection of G-d has taken this basic tool away from us, and the result is a world where we are reduced to animals. We do not strive for anything better, we just go on our daily businesses doing what we are supposed to do. We are, as Weber says, repeating the moves of protestantism, but the idea; that we work for the good of spirit is lost to us. At least this is how it is in Scandinavia and perhaps in some of the Anglo – Saxon world too.
This is what gives us humanity; to strive for something good. If you take it away, life becomes meaningless.
Probably there was a deeper idea in the theory of Marx and Engels, and I do believe that many of the principles are good. But to take away G-d in an equation is not good.
Maybe it is time we started looking for good again, not the superficial good, or the easy good. But the true good of our societies.
What is really good for the citizens of Europe for example, what do they need?
What is good for the Middle East, what does it need?
What is good for the planet, the rising child, the new dawn of man?
These questions could be asked, and perhaps not all answers are easy to swallow, the Brexit was one of them. But instead of pointing fingers, maybe it is time to look ahead, and take some of those difficult questions and answer them honestly.
Honesty takes courage, we need to build that courage now addressing the problems we encounter.
G-d bless the peace we are loosing, but will win again.
Ok, let us stop the panic, there is no such thing as at major crisis. Let us put things in perspective. For at about forty years the European Union has expanded incrementally, one little step at a time.
This has been done, mostly, with absolutely no care about what the citizens of the European Union thought about it. Perhaps the bureaucrats and the political elite thought that they could somehow talk people into the ideas after it was there; fake it until you make it, seems to be the idea.
Well, politics is not Hollywood, it is the thin glacing over war. If you do not play your cards wisely, you will be killed, or someone else will be killed. The actions you do, will end up giving you a boon or a basket. Either will be your crown or demise.
You take chances, as the elite has done with the European Union, and you either win or loose. All is not lost yet, but it is pretty clear that all can be lost, due to the fact, that you may be good at manipulating people into accepting your premises, but such behaviour does neither breed nor attract good leaders. Good leaders are where there are challenges and ethics. Because good leadership is based on ethics.
Is it possible to change the tide?
Well, I do not know, and, honestly I do not care much. It is not my project, I have never liked it due to the dishonest content, and I see it more as a problem for Europe than a problem solver, at least seen from the perspective of Denmark. We have gained nothing and payed a lot. To the point where Denmark seems to stop existing.
Things will have go on its way, and perhaps someone will pick up the pieces, but why? What is really the basic idea?
It all just seems altmodisch and very little connected to the fight for freedom and justice. My grandparents idea of a just world, based on the experiences of the second world war.
It is over, long forgotten, the second world war, and we are standing on the brink of the third world war. The war of the western democracies against islamism. That is my priority, and an ancient hegemonic structure to wheel in European Nationsstates so that they do not fight each other, does not meet the demands of the current threat. At the contrary it hinders it.
But, let us at least be careful not to be too angry at each other, at least in the Conservative camp. We have a fight to fight, and a another day to win. Because the rules are new, and the enemies novel.
G-d bless the peace that we hopefully will find in the end.
I just realised, that mr. Cameron is leaving Downing street 10. That is a blow, and I did not see this coming. After all he has done what was good for Britain, turning the economy around, putting up barriers against uncontrolled migration, paving the way for two momentous elections.
I really think that it is a pity that he has to go, instead of staying and picking up the pieces.
You know, of cause mr. Cameron has campaigned for a stay, but he was the one who gave the opportunity at the first place. So he is really the one who served the people by giving them a voice.
Dont be so sorry David, you did the right thing, fighting for your shire. Dont be sad, you won as a moral character and a renewer.
What we need now is to reunite and find a way out, we all supported your way of doing things, and it with great sadness that we see you leave. I think I talk for all Conservatives when I say this.
May mr. Cameron find the path that he so chooses as his own, and may that path be blessed.
I stood up, 5 am to see what the British in or out vote was going to be. I sat there with my glasses on, looking out through sleep depraved eyes, and lo and behold! The Brits are leaving the EU.
At one hand sad, because we like to be in the same family as the Brits, but at the other hand, good for Britain.
Let us have a look at the implications.
Great Britain, will have to take that back again, the “Great”. Great has not been in the favour of Britain ever since half of the empire broke down sixty years ago. But now, as a sole system, it is entitled to the “Great” again.
Symbolically referring to the fact, that the Brits used to rule half of the world, but now only rules one third of the world. I mean, if you really look at that, what is there to be so depressed about? Britain is the sole ruler over so much real estate, that it is extremely rich.
What really caused all the problems after the Second world war has now, more or less, been removed, and England with its cousins and friends, can yet again enter the world scene with the proper sense of greatness.
Once again, lo and behold, I for one will look forward to see what it develops into, and be a partner in this development. Most prominent as a true friend of the Anglican Church.
You know, when you live on an island, often you feel that you are alone, and I know that Brits are not very fond of “Continentals”. But there is an irony in the fact, that you had a strong helping hand in this case. We Danes helped you. So maybe there are friends on the Continent after all. We like you, with all your quirks and your wonderful ways. We like your magic and history, we like your personality, we like your boarding schools. We like your fried fish and bacon, we like James Bond, your aristocratic ways, your blue collar heroes. We like you, and at the end of the day, it may be, that your only reference to someone to help you is placed in the story of Beowulf, and it took a Dane to give you another shot at independence, but so what? Let us take this wonderful opportunity and use it for the best of who really matters; the peoples of fair islands of the British.
G-d bless the windy meadows of England and beyond.
It is with great sadness that we here in Denmark hear about the tragedy of the Orlando terror attack, or as mr. Trump rightly calls it; an attack by islamic extremists.
Let me clear about this; this is war. It is a war we have not wanted. We never challenged radical islam in the first place, they challenged us. So, by all means, it is a war that is right and just.
However, war is just that; war. It is killing, raping, destroying peoples life and livelihood. It is broken families, and friends lost.
That is war.
But one the other hand, it is also a possibility to find new friends. The enemy of your enemy is my friend.
Since IS has a lot of enemies, well there are a lot of potential friends out there for us to win; Russia, Egypt, Saudi-Arabia.
Even Iran.
But one thing is clear, the enemy is among us, and instead of covering under the threat, let us be strong in our conviction, steadfast in our steps ahead, and clear-sighted as to what we should do.
Let us be bold and free.
G-d bless the United States of America, and may spirit keep it safe.

It is with great sadness that we hear that the presumptive nominee of the democratic run mr. Bernie Sanders has lost his chance to get into the White house.
We, the people, mourn it, and we hope, that you will set free a movement that will Change the entire American constitution, so that it will remain free and abundant.
Idealism will only work, if there are ideals to strive for. Funny thing is, it is same the same values we always fight for, but, at the other hand, it is also the same value that is threatened all the time; Freedom.
Freedom is at the heart of mr. Sanders pledge, a beautiful, volatile, blazing torch og the purest light.
Put that torch to your very heart, and you will never go wrong.
Because, though our societies are based on freedom as a virtue, there are always a threat to it.
Sometimes we get lazy, sometimes we get convenient, sometimes we forget what is really important to us.
But you told us otherwise.
Let us hope, that that fight is not over, but just a new beginning, for a freer and more just world.
May spirit bless you, and may it take you, as one of his angels, when time comes.
When things Change, they do it in a specific pattern. First there is a great crisis, then someone steps in with a solution, if the solution is good, there entire system goes that way.
Take the example og the fight between the Soviet Union and the United States of America.
On one hand we had a state that led by morals, or at least that was the idea. To make an ethical state.
At the other hand we had a state that used to see itself as a democracy, but changed as a consequence of the Soviet criticism. It became “capitalist”. The idea was, that if our enemy believes we are capitalist, well I suppose we are.
Still there was the overall fight between Communism and Democracy, but at the heart of the fight was also a fight between ethics and free market economy.
Now fast forward to 9/11 and thereafter the Mohammad cartoon crisis. These two crises were pivotal in the sense that at the first the US realised it had a bitter enemy, and in the second Denmark stepped up and put a direction to the fight.
So the paradigms changed. Before we had a fight between Communism and Capitalism/democracy. Now we have a fight between islamism and democracy with a spiritual twist.
See the connection? In the first war we took some of the critique and used it in our own way, in the second we have done the same. We realise that the threat is spiritual in a sense, and this has led us to rearm our own spiritual core. The Jews in Israel and the Christians in the West, add a pint of Thor and Odin, there you have it.
The course has changed, and we are changing with it.
They beauty of it, is the fact, that we only fight a portion of Islam and not all, giving room for a democratic Sunniislam to grow.
But to truly understand what we are witnessing these days, and see it in the long perspective. We should see what are, right now fighting with and for; for our democratic/spiritual values in opposition to a caliphate.
G-d bless the will to find the most peaceful way of fighting.
Ethics is one of those fields that are really hard to understand. Let me give you an example. When Jesus Christ (the benevolent and spiritual jew) was crucified, he was crucified because he rejected all rules.
It is written in the bible, that the Pharisees, some not some benevolent and less spiritual jews, condemned him to death because he healed a man on sunday. Sunday being the day of rest.
If you look at it from a moral perspective, that is what maximises the good of the land in that action. It is true that Jesus Christ did something good, despite the rules and edicts of the Pharisees.
You can see here, that the Pharisees are really the clergy of that time, that ruled and held sway over the Jews.
So what did Jesus do wrong in the eyes of the Pharisees? He did not respect the rules of the Pharisees.
Do we hear a bell ringing here?
Jesus Christ was a rule breaker. Imagine that. The central figure of a complex that now spans the entire globe with a gazillion of rules that people must follow. We cannot do this because the church tells us, we can not do that.
What would Jesus say? He would, because that is why he was crucified, say follow your heart. What does your heart tell you in this situation where you have to chose between A. Following a rule. B. Do something that is obviously right for the person involved.
In this I believe lies a single point of balance between too little and too much.
It is not so that Jesus say we should not follow the rules, he says that when the rules are obviously wrong, we should not follow them, we should follow our conscience.
In this way, he puts our hearts free to do what we think is the most humane.
It will put one a cross often, because the rule makers will see you as a threat to the common welfare. I know this, because I always follow my heart and my own logic in all I do. Because that is what light truly is; following your heart in the light of the creator.
Because the creator has no rules, he has only the attachment to all around us as a rule, and nothing more.
We should try and follow that rule.
G-d bless the wisdom of the creator.
Now mr. Trump is criticising the strategies that mr. Obama and I have laid on foreign policy as incoherent. Well, they are not.
Then he says that we are rattled. Well, we are not. The strategy is a strategy, it cannot be rattled.
I like a good fight, and I would love to fight mr. Trump, just because he seems to be a worthy adversary. But I will not, we are friends, remember?
Denmark and the US have been standing side by side for many, many years now. Toiling, fighting even dying.
Now, and then that is abuse, as mr. Trump says.
Listen Donald, I have sacrificed my career, I do not take a single penny for the job I have done for the US. Helping you in your troubled times. I do this because in my view, that is what you do with friends. You help them if they are in trouble.
You did the same to us in the second world war, you helped us. So we owed you.
We do not abuse you, we are friends. We fight together, as one.
I know that there is an economic burden to the US in Europe. I really support the American pressure on European countries to ramp up the defence expenses. Not at least to prepare for the infight with the Islamic state in Europe. That is going to be costly in all ways.
But it is not all about money, it is actually also about using your others ressources as intelligence, strategic insight and diplomatic influence. In all these areas, I have supported mr. Obama from day one, and given him the best we had.
This is an alliance, and friendship.
We are going to keep that friendship whatever happens, because the relationship we have is deep.
G-d bless the international comradeship between Denmark and the United States of America.
There is some discussion in the UK on the issue of a nation. Mr. Roger Scruton who blessed us with his presence here in Denmark a week ago, has the idea that you can differ between nationalism that is a vile and dangerous creed and being in connection with the nation, that is an identity.
Well first of all, a nation is simply a system of government. It comes from the Middle East and was invented in what we today know as Iraq. Invented by different semitic peoples like the Assyrians and the Jews.
Especially the Assyrians were some of the first to invent the nation. Things like the rule of law, a social state, kingship, organised religion, literacy, science and so on, was invented in Assyria.
We still have a vital connection to this first step of civilisation in what we in Christianity call the old testament, and in Judaism call the Torah. In Islam, it is written in the Koran.
Religion was designed to be a vital part of nations wellbeing. Take the story of Babylon, this story is about the downfall due to too much liberality. If there is no one language, a common belief system, the nation will turn into a tower built higher and higher, until everything breaks down.
This is a vital story that we can learn a lot from today where our nations are falling apart, and the European Union has been unable to make a common frame for all.
It is like the tower af Babylon in each individual nation, breaking down due to incoherence.
So, in the most of history a nation has been a positive thing, because it gave its citizens peace, prosperity, order, justice, freedom, spirituality and science.
So seen from a historical/philosophical angle being afraid of the nation is like being afraid of a wise architecture that man has built upon for thousands of years, lately building a new version called democracy.
But I do know where the antagonism comes from, it comes from the European Union, who has been in war with the nation as a simple equation; more power to the nations, less to the European Union.
Well, why dont you then just say so?
A nation is, when it works, and unfortunately often it does not. But when it works, it is what makes people happy and satisfied. It is what brings order and symmetry, harmony and justice.
G-d bless the central nation of Israel.
There is a lot of talking about “disruption” these days. How IT tech startups, and grownups are changing the way we see the world. As Apple, as Facebook, as Amazon, as Spotify.
The same happens in the academic life. It has happened numerous times; Anaxagoras, Plato, Aristotle, Rousseau, Walden, Kierkegaard, Adam Smith, Nietzsche, Karl Marx, Voltaire, Newton. Great, great thinkers who saw a truly different world than everybody else, and by their superior intellect as well as drive changed the world.
When that happens, all the pharisees and old guard members will roll off the same incessant drivel about the stupidity of the ideas. They will often persecute the intellectual, while as the intellectual will have his supporters and disciples.
“Disruption” is not only in IT these days, it is also in intellectual life, and the thinkers will change the way we look at the world.
In this situation I think it is vital to reflect on the philosopher and his motivation. Take Newton, he REALLY changed our world, he, more or less, put the church into the grave, singlehanded.
The thing about Newton was that he, as a man, was an extremely nerdish and not a very likeable character. He was often souped up in his dabbling with magic and alchemy, and had very few friends.
The world he made was such a world; a clinical, non personal world we still live in today.
Therefor, I believe, if I realise my project fully, that the world that we create after my ideas are fully implemented, is a world, where family, friendship and human warmness is at the core of how we look at the world.
We need to wheel in what Newton started. Not to forget his many truly astonishing exploits, but to soften the edges. Find friendship, spirituality and warmth again.
Because we may be on the top of the world, but if that is a place of coldness, then it is not worth it.
G-d bless the wisdom of the familymen.
Now, we have been criticised a bit, Barack and I on some of the decisions we have made. Well, we are not perfect, and we have done some mistakes. That is only natural when it comes to making international decisions in an environment as difficult as the current political one.
It is not like in the 16 and 17 hundreds, where European manufacture and industrial items, weapons and intelligence were vastly superior to everybody else’s. In this world, our opponents are as skilled as we are, and often more skilled in some ares.
Fighting is extremely complex, and as a consequence the strategies must evolve.
Let me give you a historical example.
When Alexander the Great attacked the Persian empire, it was a showcase in intelligence in opposition to brute force. The persians basically commanded gigantic slave armies, and the Greek were free citizens fighting for a cause.
At the battles there were, many times over, odds stacked in favour of the Persians in an extreme numerality. 2 million persian soldiers against 50.000 Greek.
Alexander won by reinventing strategy. He put up modern positions of soldiery. Some amazing ingenuity. How could he do that? He could do it, because he represented the epitome of Greek thought. The strategies he used were developed in the Greek wars, he was supported by Aristotle, one of the wisest men in human history.
So ingenuity opposed to raw strength will win the day, if the ingenuity os good enough.
Fast forward to George Bush. What did Osama bin Laden do? He made one brilliant attack, and Bush reacted by dragging the US into two costly wars. Wars that dragged the US economy to its knees, and gave no real result. Remember, mr. Obama killed Osama bin Laden with the secret service, not using much money in comparison. So it is smartness compared to brute force.
This is the way we need to fight the jihadis. Not by using brute force, but continuing using the cold war methods that the fight with the Soviet Union gave us.
After all, that is how IS fights, by infiltrating, subterfuge, pinpoint attacks and so on.
A war fought with an elusive opponent is not won by brute force, but by fighting them with intelligence, cunning and subterfuge. Countering their recruitment, forcing our European allies to take the threat serious (we cannot fight in Europe, if the Europeans are not willing to fight), drying our their monies. But most important of all, in these internet times; winning the MORAL war.
Winning the moral war will bring us support from all around the world, because who would not fight along side us against a foe os such immoral behaviour?
That is the mindset we need to use to fight this elusive opponent. Skill, cunning and intelligence.
I think that is why the general public never really caught on to what we have done, because it is such a masterful, difficult chess fight where the overall progress is drowned in the complexities of the moves on the chessboard.
G-d bless the will to win against the terrible enemy.
There is a great Nordic summit going on in Washington right now, probably the accustomed Washingtonians do not think much of it, after all, things like these happen all the time.
But, instead of just letting it pass as another thing in the endless parade of international occurrences happening in DC, lets have a look at it at a deeper level.
You came from us, remember? When our great, great grandfathers took a single ticket on one of those crammed boats, braved the prairie, plowed the earth, that had never been plowed before. Dying, surviving making a new home in an often hostile world.
My great, great grandfathers brother became a known academic a hundred years ago. His children became American, and were not Danes anymore, except for the memory of a fatherland long forgotten, but still the roots are there.
This is what it is about. A shared memory, and a shared history. Because my great, great grandfathers brother he had his roots here. In Denmark, and that reflects on the culture of the US today, as it is a memory in Denmark still, loosing so many sons and daughters in a time of scarcity.
In these internet times, things seem to go the other way again. The great Democratic party seems to have had a path to the source of their own shared history with the Danes, and my G-d is that a healing thing!
To feel the connection to what you are, the culture that, in many ways, spawned your own.
We are friends, more than just friends, we are family, and as family we stick together.
This shared destiny, is, I hope, deeper than just flags hanging on poles, or empty promises, it is a shared path. A path we trod down on together.
We are not perfect, often we do things wrong, but we have values, and we have a shared destiny, for now, and in the bright future.
G-d bless the great nation of the United States of America.
There was a time when we philosophers did our best to kill G-d. Remember? When Nietzsche told the story about the man that came down from the mountains and told some people that he met, that G-d is dead. Have´nt you heard?
These days it is the other way around, we try our best, we strive, we sacrifise ourselves to make G-d alive again. To prove his existence, to give him a platform, to make people believe again.
Have´nt you heard? G-d is alive. Read it on this blog, and rejoice in the fact, that you are not alone, spirit will carry you to your final destination, and after that he will carry you in his arms to a place of joy.
Then why? Why is it, that we do this? As our civilization is threatened, some will ignore it, but there are a few people, that will stand their ground. People who have not given up, who still stand by their culture and will fight and sacrifise themselves. They are the last of the last, the fine line between obliteration and renewal.
We do it, because if we do not believe in our culture and our values, then we are finished.
That is what it is basically all about; faith. Faith in our values, in our system, in our religions, in our G-ds.
And it will be by the measure of the strenght of that faith, that we will be either doomed or saved.
G-d bless the wisdom of Socrates and Jesus Christ, the redeemers. (Said as a Jew)
There has been a renewed discussion of the economic skills of the great Us of A. Well there is no discussion that the skills are there, the discussion is just; how does that translate into jobs?
First of all, the Republicans, and most of the Democrats does not really seem to understand the underlying philosophical discussion under what we today have come to term “Obamanomics”.
Remember the last election fight, when mr. Romney was deemed “outsourcer in chief”? Before that election campaign, no-one had discussed the outsourcing as a problem, because there were no theoretical basis to do that from. We made that, Obama and I, and that saved not only the American economy, but also the British, because mr. Cameron got the tools as well, and has made a resurgence of the british economy too.
What is it, that made this possible.
It is, as then stated, a discussion on the two books of Adam Smith. Smith developed the free trade ideas, that drove most of the expansion of British empire. In its core, it argues, that free trade will enhance the overall production and consequently wealth for all who are in the free trade zone.
This is off cause true, and no-one doubts it. We saw it in the crisis of the thirties where trade barriers were put up, here the overall production simply fell, and the wealth and jobs fell away as well.
Then a war came, and that motivated the production again.
But there is another book of Adam Smith, that I have pointed too, that misses its application. Coming from a philosophical world, I know that freedom always goes hand in hand with responsibility. If you have no responsibility to anything, then the freedom you have will make you weightless and disconnected. It is the freedom from something that gives the feeling of freedom.
So, usually there is a kind of trade off or balance in the equation between freedom and ethics.
Being a philosopher, Adam Smith off cause knew the same, so I looked for the ethical part of his philosophy, and found it in his works on moral sentiment.
Smith really was a brilliant philosopher, and he had the balance in his philosophy, we just did not understand it well enough to really implement it. This is our current problem.
So what does Smith say about ethics? He says that the moral sentiment must be attached to the nation to work. In other words, while there is free trade among the nations, there should be a loyalty between those who produce goods and the nation. This is the key, and that is the current problem. When American manufacturers moves production to China, the US looses wealth.
It is not good for China either, because if the system is ruined, then there will be no-one for them to sell their goods too. So it is in all nations interest to keep a sound an loyal production base. In fact, it is a vital a part of the Smithsonian equation as free trade.
So this is the key, and unfortunately it has only worked to some degree, and not all the way through. It needs to be reinforced, with good measure off cause.
Businesses should feel appreciated, there should tax reduction for those business that keep their production in the US, and so on. Use your imagination and it is quite simple to make it happen.
A stronger focus on patriotism overall would also help, be a bit more patriotic, let the flag unfurl again and be happy with your great nation, because in all fairness, you should, because it is so great.
G-d bless United States of America.
There has been a lot of discussion about the aim and the purpose of the foreign policy of the Obama administration. Mr. Trump says, at one hand, that it is absolutely without aim, at the other hand the EU administration has just admitted that the policies are much deeper and better than their own!
Well, one cannot be true without the other.
I am not the only one Mr. Obama listens to, there are others, so it is not only my advice that has been heeded. But in the Arab spring Obama and I were pretty much inseparable, and the idea behind the fight against IS were strategic considerations that we both agreed on.
Many people see Obama as against Israel, this is absolutely and totally wrong, he just believes in the same values as the liberal camp in Israel. He wants peace, and to his credit you must be open to the fact, that Obama has never really engaged in the fights between the Gazans and Israel, giving Israel a wide berth here. If he had supported the Palestinians more, the last intifada (that with the bombs) would have been devastating.
He has held on to the idea, that the peace process should be met at the source. This was the entire idea behind making peace with Iran.
If you zoom out a bit, you will find the basic fight that we are in right now; the reclaiming of Western values.
What is so terrible about IS? It is the fact that they hate democracy, and love the caliphate. So the fight against them is much more than just a fight against terror, it is at the same time, a fight for our own values.
And this is what it basically all about; the reclaiming of our own values.
In a world where western interest are threatened and we are loosing ground, we should both put up an ideological as well as a physical defence.
That is crux of the strategies that I have made, and that has influenced Barack a lot; the rise of the West again.
So we have defined the enemy; the Islamic State, and has put together a wide alliance behind it. It has been so strong, that the problems we have had with Russia, that could have developed into a third world war, was eased out by the fact, that we are kin, and we are fighting for the same basic ideas.
The world according to Samuel Huntington is a world where civilisations fight, and we have sought to strengthen our own civilisation, and we have failed in some areas, but also won a lot. Egypt is now a democracy, we have brought momentary peace to Israel, we have changed the mindset of the Europeans, we have forged a friendship with Russia that was extremely important in the wake of the last crisis.
All in all, we are poised for a comeback as a civilisation, if the next president knows how to play his cards wisely.
Not to mention that we have done all this while saving money and making jobs.
G-d bless the United States of America.
To develop the world, the world needs to have peace. Otherwise most of the ressources and the ability to invest in the betterment of humanity is forfeit.
It is like a lake, if there is war, the ressources are sucked up, the dams breached will take away water. If there is peace, the dams will hold, and the lake will swell, full of water.
So plugging the holes of the dam, will give prosperity. In this way, peace and prosperity are two sides of the same coin.
Now, that may be simple, but the actual peace making is extremely difficult. It all comes down to inspiring the world to do good. Usually enemies portray their enemies as evil. This is wrong, enemies are not inherently evil, they are just in disagreement of how things should be run.
We in the West believe that freedom, democracy and humanism are good things. There are other that have competing systems. That is the way it is with human beings. We all believe our model is the best.
So peace comes from looking at the systems at hand, and find the good elements in them.
Like democracy. There are good and bad things about democracy, so we need to inspire people to do the good things. If the bureaucracy starts corrupting and hiding things, making things intransperent, then we are dealing with the bad elements of democracy. If you have the freedom to act, you need a high ethical standard.
We have to remember this, when we search for peace in the Middle East. There are a number of competing systems there, and we need to align the good virtues of each system towards each other to create a positive flow.
This is difficult, and will require both patience and persistence two work. There are no easy fixes.
We have come far, by focusing on the sources of the conflict between Israel and “Palestine”. Making peace with Egypt and the rest of the Sunni Arab countries. (Egypt is originally not Arab, but Egyptian, but they are allied).
We can do the same with Iran, I know people are against it. But so far, we have not had any atomic bombs over Tel Aviv. We should not be stupid, but if there is an opportunity for peace, we should take it.
This is how Israel should act; as a peace maker.
G-d bless Israel.
I think that the US must be the most reluctant empiremaker ever. I mean, it is as though the different candidates in the election almost fight over how to NOT be an empire. This is truly the greatest strenght of the US. The clean ethical view on power. Power is not to opress, but to be used for good. I think this is also the part of the weakness, because recently we have seen a few instances of disengagements, where engagement would have been better. Especially in Libya, we should have gone in there and helped rebuild the country. That was a mistake in my mind.
But, the strenght of the fact, that the US does not wish to impose its agenda on everybody, but is happy with the fact, that it can provide some progress and momentum for its own citizens is, to my mind a great boon to the world. It was what, at the end of the day, that stopped the Ukraine crisis from developing into a third world war. Off cause, mr. Putin never wanted the war either, so there were two parts not to really want war.
If you compare this to almost any other emperical power in history, it is truly unique. Just look at how the Chinese treats Africa. It is with contempt, the US has never treated Africa with contempt.
I know that there has been some bad blood in South America, but apart from that, the US has its hands, more or less clean.
I hope, that it continues in this way, that foreign involment has an ideological or protective motive, not a tyrannical motive.
G-d bless The United States of America.
If you want to fight, you have to be prepared to get hit from time to time, that is the way with fighting.
This is especially true with the renaissance of the Anglican church. You get a new message from here, another hit from there, but as when you do a pilgrimage, the difficulties of the walk should never stop you, but make you keep going.
At the end of the day, it is a matter of faith, you are always tried by fortitude, by evil, by all kinds of difficulties.
Yet, as a new mountain appears as a mirage at the end of the road, you just need to pray, get up and find a way over, beneath or around that mountain. There will another mountain to climb when you have climbed the mountain in front of you, but that is the way with work for spirit. It is a never-ending, continuous striving for at better world, and the strange thing is, you never find the end. It is just a road you have to travel.
Sometimes you meet someone on your pilgrimage, and you gather your wits and start a conversation with that person. This is your boons and your nourishment, to find companions along the road.
Sometimes, no, always in my experience, the companions you find on your road, will be there with you all along, and as you travel father and father, the torrent of people you meet on your way will swell.
If you are truly a good person, the persons that will accompany you will be fellows in that same spirit.
So there will be downfalls, and dark days, but do not falter in you belief, because spirit will always be there to support you, and help you find your way. Because that is what G-d is; a helper, a friend and a crutch when you need it.
Praised be Amun.
It is difficult for Europe to hedge its bets in this time of destruction and insecurity.
Germany has, lastly caught up with the new trends of Europe, and has had its very own islamic-critic party. The Afd. well, I do not do mudfests, and I refuse to start throwing ridicules and be the one pointing fingers. As Christians may remember, a lot of people pointed fingers at Jesus, and as Jews remember people did not like Moses much, let alone Mohammad.
This is the way it is, if things Change, people do not like it.
I understand, that the problems that confronts Germany are very difficult, especially considering the influx of migrants and refugees, that creates a lot of problems in Germany right now.
Ms. Merkel is trying to balance the scales in a situation where Germany has to cope with its history as murdering a lot of Jews, and at the same time making sure that the security of the land is working.
Right now, the dilemma seems to tear Germany apart.
There is a short term solution, and a long term solution.
First of all, take it easy. Do not panic, look at the situation, plan ahead and be careful not to lose the initiative.
Germany has the problem, that it is too strong lying there in the middle of Europe. So the minor states and other stronger states around it are vary about its course.
But, look at the way the world has changed these last ten to twenty years. Before the internet revolution, we had absolutely no idea about the ideas and history of the Middle East, even though it lies a mere stonethrow away! Imagine that. We were still, mentally, living in a time where the only transportation was boat and slow moving vehicles.
The US has been good at understanding the new reality, and is acting accordingly. But Europe, mired in its self-pity and inaction, simply has just done….nothing.
What we need to do now, is catch up. Look at our options and act accordingly.
We are not the rulers of the world anymore, that is over, and that is ok. We are living in a multipolar world. Where there are several powers. There is China, the Brics countries, India, Russia, the Middle East and so on. We need to get used to the new situation, and plan from there.
There is no shame in admitting that we are not the rulers of the world anymore, that is just the way it is. And honestly, would we like to be the rulers of the world again? No, why should we? We can be contempt in trying to develop our own world, and strengthening our own ways of doing things. To contribute to a peaceful and humanistic earth.
But in order to do that, we need to get out of that post colonial hangover, and start using our own strengths to our advantage. What are they?
First of all, it is a world class intellectual world. We have the best thinkers, period.
This asset is an asset that, potentially, can bring us back on the world stage as leaders in political, metaphysical and peace bringing theory.
Note that this strength is not a offensive strength, but rather a strength that will give us friends and not enemies.
This is also the strength that will save us in the current situation, the solutions we can find, can solve the problems, without us getting into conflict with the human rights and so on.
So we need to take a fresh look on the situation, define the positive aims we want to have. What is it we want to contribute with? How can we help our neighbours? How can we contribute solving some of the problems of the world?
At the same time, we need to solve the problems we face right now with migration.
As I have said, let us do within the limits of the Human Rights charter, and do it progressively. We should act, but with respect to our allies, our friends around the world, and most importantly, to protect our citizens. This being the main task.
G-d bless the light we must follow, and the peace we can contribute making.
I have, together with Obama, had a tremendous succes in the Middle East. The tactic; to focus on the sources of the conflict between Israel and the rest of the Middle East instead of focusing on the proxies; the Palestinians or whatever they are called, has really pulled of.
As of now Israel is hedging its bets with both Saudi Arabia and Egypt. If mr. Netanyahu had been a bit more trusting on Iran, we could have come somewhere with them as well.
I understand, animosity and so on. But we are the Chosen people, and we should not act as local power players, but rather as a moral player, as we are, right?
Now mr. Netanyahu and I are not always on the same page, but I love that man anyway, and do really respect his judgement.
But, be as it may, what is really the process behind these success?
First of all, I am not so self-indulgent, that I believe that is either my doing or Baracks for that matter. We are just tools in a process. Perhaps we are tools of spirit, but perhaps we are just there as a part of a development. The expression of a culture that evolves around certain principles.
Now, what I have been thinking about in the process, is, why really? What is it in the process, that gives us the ability to make peace where no-one else have succeeded?
I believe it is because as Zionist there is a piece that is missing. When Israel was originally founded by Herzl, it was a historic and democratic union of Jews. The state of the Jews, all Jews, and rested on a republican basis. There where some Cabalists that secretly tried to see Israel as a vehicle for peace, we still do. But this was only as private individuals.
The central western democratic blueprint Israel was formed on lacked something that was in existence in Denmark. Denmark is very, very similar to Israel in its construction, but we have one thing that differs; we are based on a historic understanding of the Danish Folk. The Danish people. The great Grundtvig being the master behind this construction. This has given us a historic awareness, and a cohesive disposition towards our neighbours. Instead of representing a state, we represent the Danish People.
Being the Chosen people as Jews, meeting our neighbours as what we are, instead of just a system, makes things much more down to earth, and also makes our neighbours feel they know us more. They know us as a people, not as a state, and if we behave like a people, and respect our neighbours as other peoples, things seem to fall in the right holes.
The Middle East is a very, very proud place. It is the cradle of human civilisation, and every people there remembers, with pride their contribution, even though the rest of the world has forgotten.
If we remember our own history, that is interwoven with our neighbours, we have common ground, and common projects to work with.
And as the Chosen people, there is one mission that will elevate us to where we should be, and that is the fight for G-d. That he may live again. If we do that, we will be friends with our neighbours.
G-d bless Israel.
Now there seems to be a bit of fashion in businessmen going into politics. We have mr. Naftali Bennet in Israel, and mr. Donald Trump in the US.
Both people most do not like much (mr. Bennet, as a Jew is not liked in the world, though we Jews off cause like him), and mr. Trump is getting a little more popular, but still has a long way to go to be accepted.
Now, this is not to help in the American election, it struck me because as a Zionist I read about the generation of Israelies, that boomed in the dot com time, and is trying to cope with the hard wrenched IT world, and politics.
I have a similar background, I started as a project leader in IT, and shifted after some years to politics and philosophy.
So perhaps my experience can be of a little use.
The reason why I quit the IT business, was because of a moral drive. In IT there is a lot of corruption and a lot of easy money made. After some years learning the ins and outs of that business, I quit it because in a world, you need to stay moral. You need to stay a moral person.
After that I became a teacher and then a philosopher.
That is really the link, as I see it, from business to politics. You need to have a mission, a moral mission. I know that people often despise politicians for being driven by the system. That is true, there are a lot of politicians that are more bureaucrats than politicians. But the good politicians are there to change the world to something better.
It may sound quite silly and obvious, but the truth of the matter is, that as you are grinded down in the political machine, you often lose the ideas as to why you started out. Why you began in the first place. Because you need money and you start doing deals to get something done.
That is natural, but as power corrupts, politics corrupts too. What you therefor need, according to the Romans, is a solid character. Something stoically indestructible. Some higher aspirations. It can be the quest for freedom, solidarity, justice or brotherhood of man. But you need to cling on to those values and virtues.
This is not to be condescending. I do not judge anyone. Just as a afterthought to the mechanics of politics in relation to business.
In business what you need is a fierce will, fighting skills and the ability to understand and analyse markets, competitors and the general layout of the world.
This you also need in politics. But you need something more, you need knowledge of two things; political philosophy and history. The first to get deep into the whereabouts of virtues, the second to avoid doing the same mistakes as leaders before you.
If you want to be smart, you need knowledge. Because you can only know your steps forward, if you know the general layout of the market, and in politics, politics is the market.
G-d bless the wisdom of the Romans.
Getting back on the world scene, will be a little taxing for Europe.
We have been sailing around in our own misery after the second world war, and a lot of self-pity put in as well.
It is time we suit up, get realistic about the challenges we meet, and start investing our ressources in security. Both domestic as well as international.
First of all, we need to clean up our own systems. Eastern Europe has already done this after the fall of the iron curtain, but in Western Europe, there are still numerous (ageing) KGB personnel sitting in vital positions in the state apparatus, including media, education, and culture. These traitors are now helping the islamists setting up shop.
So it is really a two pronged war that we need to face. First take all the ancient KGB agents, and the islamists.
After that we will see what is really left of the states.
But, if we succeed, and in some areas we will, then it is on to the next step, and that is playing a role in the international powerplay.
We have the ressources, but we have, mired in our own self loathing, not done anything about it.
But, first of all. Playing with Turkey, puts us on the wrong side of the conflicts in the Middle East. Turkey is one of the main sponsors of IS, and is in real trouble with the other Sunni powers, that is Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Add to this an animosity with Russia, we simply cannot put all our eggs in that basket.
I know we have bought som reprive from the refugee pressure by dealing with Turkey, but it comes at a steep price, and the refugees/migrants will just find new routes. Right now they are going through Libya instead.
We need to strengthen our borders, and start making deals with the countries they come from, so that economic migrants can be send back to their original countries, and we can put up some serious help for the true refugees.
So, invest in security, start cleaning up our states for moles, agents, and other enemies of the state. Put up borders, and start making some real deals with; Eritrea, Pakistan, Afghanistan and so on.
Probably they are unwilling, but we need to find a way. We need to move, as of now.
G-d bless the vision of peace we have to find.
When we fight for G-d, we must remember what G-d really is; he is love. When the result of our struggle is less love in-between the living things of mother earth, then we do not fight for G-d. It is only when the result of our actions are love, that we do good.
But then again, this is not easy, because what often seem crystal clear in its moral content, are, more often than not, the exact opposite.
Plato describes, in his famous cave allegory, the workings of truth. In the cave there are many people who pretend to shine truth, but do not. The truth is often very difficult to project to people, and most often people do not like the truth of the matter.
Redemption however lies in accepting and working for truth, even though it will cost you. This is true martyrdom; to spread truth where truth is not found, and do this in the interest of spirit.
In Europe right now, there is very little truth in anything, because we have had a long period of stale peace. The peace of the cold war came at the cost of the truth. What was paraded as truth was only lies and deception.
So to wheel the European discourse back to truth is extremely difficult, we have forty years of lies to counter.
Add to this the problem, that the European Union is almost falling, we have a situation that will most probably lead to some really nasty scenarios. The infighting between the citizens and noncitizen may just evolve into an all out civilwar. The vikings are arming themselves, and the migrants have absolutely no idea what they are facing. This could turn very very ugly.
Therefor, the political system must go on a cold turkey. That is stop the illusions of peace and tolerance with no controlling of the conflict. There has to be control, and it has to be on the right moral basis. That is of Democracy and human rights.
As long as the vikings do fight within the bounds of the state, we cannot touch them. At the same time, it is high time we face the fact that we are infiltrated from top to bottom, and do something about it.
We need also to support the liberal and emancipating strands within the migrant community. Women who are trying to liberate themselves, courageous freedom fighters and other people who wish the support the liberal cause.
It is just like Libya, there are many democratic forces within the muslim community. But we need to support them, wholeheartedly for them to thrive. And we need to fight the islamists wholeheartedly as well.
This is, unfortunately, the consequence of being unvigilant for a long time. We need to wheel in the conflicts that has been laying dormant, and solve them.
G-d bless the peace we are fighting for.
While we in the West are so busy pointing fingers on mr. Putin, I believe that we are overlooking some of the amazing things this great country is doing. I know, that we are in a conflict with Russia in Ukraine, but I also think, that we have not understood the true restraint that mr. Putin has showed. He could have bulldozed his way in, instead he has sought to support covertly. This in an area where Russian interest are very much on the line.
While we focus on Ukraine, we do not see some of the astounding successes he has made in Syria, the liberation of Palmyra, the relief of Assad, that is a long life supporter of Iran, but is a democratically turned westerner in many ways.
What really gets me, is when we do not recognise the true heroism of Russian men at arms. As when Aleksandr Prokhorenko called in air support, ON HIMSELF! That must have taken some real guts. Instead of getting caught, he wheeled in an attack that not only got himself killed but a lot of the enemies as well.
We owe it to the Russians, that they are fighting good in this scenario.
I believe we have a common enemy in the islamists, that we should continue fighting.
And a way of that, is to recognise their true heroes.
G-d bless serviceman Aleksandr Prokhorenko, may he rest in peace, and may his sacrifice not be forgotten.
So the American election is underway, and so far I have not really done anything in it. I believe, that whoever gets to be president should do it because they had it in them, not because I helped them.
I helped Barack in his second term, because we were working on something, that needed to be finished, and because we are friends, and friends help each other out, if they are in a bad spot.
Really, I believe in all the candidates, each have a lot of qualities, and I will not be the one to point fingers. There is only one thing that I really am against, I will not support a president that supports torture. That is not in anyones interest, and honestly that should be below us. Fighting smart is not torturing people, that is fighting dirty, and you do not win wars by going dirty in these open, social media times.
My agenda, is to bring peace and prosperity to the descendants of the vikings, that is my job. That does not mean, that I am not all in on race equality, or whatever you call it, being a man of North has nothing to do with your skin colour.
But apart from that, I believe it important to support family, community life, religion in a positive form and freedom of democracy.
Being a Jew, Israel holds a speciel place for me as well.
G-d bless the peace we will win, if we are stubborn enough.
We are discussing the deteroritation of the security of Europe, that is, honestly absurd. How did it come to this?
To understand this, we have to see it in a historical light. In the cold war, the psy op laboratories of the Soviet Union cooked up some pretty nasty schemes. Being devoid of hard currency and having little ressources to work with, the Communists were forced to work with infiltration, seduction, demoralisation of enemy and so on.
They were really good at it. In fact, they ruled the world by it, using methods that really worked, but destroyed the target societies in the process. The corruption, the destruction of faith, the deteoriation of families, the destruction of patriotism was devastating for many countries.
In this situation it is the job of the national security apparatus to counter the threat.
The problem was, they never did such a thing. In fact, they looked the other way as KGB infiltrated media, cultural life, politics and so on.
A good example here in Denmark is the documentarist Jacob Holdt, who made himself a name i the seventies as a criticiser of the US. His “American Pictures” depicts the US as a racist, misogenetic, evil society. Just the angle the KGB wanted. He was sponsored by a man in a newspaper called “Information”, most probably another KGB agent.
This is against the law, but the police did nothing.
And so Denmark was infiltrated on all levels. The Socialdemocrats (the Democrats) were, most probably, infiltrated. The now leader of the UN Mogens Lykketoft being the standard bearer. This is based on the fact, that Dragsdahl, the journalist that boosted the anti american documentarist, was and is a dear friend of the UN high commissioner.
If a society that has been worked by the KGB is then confronted with another player, the islamists, who have been learning a bit of the KGB when it comes to cold war methods, then we have a problem, Houston!
As the Communists, the islamist have been trying to infiltrate the target societies. On the surface you see them as guards in the airport, as workers in the atomic plants. But behind the scene, they are artists, politicians, academics, mediapersons, and the works.
So to truly tackle the problem, we have to touch on the basis of it; the lack of muscle of the national security to tackle the infiltration.
They simply cannot do it, due of inefficiency, low intelligence, and just a general low level of professionalism.
But the worst problem really is not that they are stupid and inefficient, it is their lack of patriotism. A national security body should put their nation, and the national security at their heart. But we never hear them tuting the freedom of Denmark, or the security of the citizens. We however, repeatedly hear the tuting the good friendship they have with the enemies of the state.
So they end up persecuting the patriotic artists, and helping the enemy.
That is the truth.
To turn this situation around, you need to scrap most of the leaders of that security body, find some who are actually taking the job at hand serious. And find, if there is any, a policeman for whom national security makes sense.
G-d bless the will to find peace in this abominal mess.
We have come to a place in the history of Europe, where we are at a pivotal point, as in the battles of Tours or at the battle of Vienna. We either start fighting the jihadis, or they will win. The softhearted, willy nilly, rehab thinking has to stop. I mean it, not just yesterday or the day before, a year ago we should have realised what was going on, and started acting on it.
If we play this game wisely enough though, there are possibilities. The EU will probably fall, but that is a small consequence as to the fall of all Europe into darkness, chaos and decay.
Anyway, I believe the time for appeasement is over. We need to face the fact, that we are overrun, infiltrated, in harms way and in deep, deep problems.
First of all, one thing you need to do, and you need to do it for me and my friends, you need to free us.
My friends, most of them living under the pressure of not only the islamists, but also the state are, rebels, intelligent, goodhearted, honest people of the highest integrity. This I say, and will swear on, from the bottom of my heart, at the price of my entire career. We have Helle Merete Brix, a simple, intelligent and courageous woman, who has braved through an attack, not bowing to the pressure. We have Lars Vilks, the most gifted painter of Sweden, so illustrious, intelligent and strong you would bow to his mere ideas. You have my best friend Uwe Max Jensen, whom I have supported and been supported by for seven years. Through darkness and joy, through pain and good fortune. People so morally infused, that we all bang heads from time to time.
Anyway, we are not the problem, we are the salvation of Europe. How will you ever succeed in surviving, if you do not support your heroes?
We are not talking about some neo nazi slurge, but free minded, democratic idealist with a humanistic worldview.
As of now, we are, half of us, persecuted by the state, and often not heard very much in the debate.
To counter the demoralisation, you need to put us up on pedestal. Tell our stories to the kids, acknowledge our selfless heroism, in the face of the fall of Europe.
We are your heroes, not your villains. We fight for your freedom, not your enslavement. Only if you realise this, and help us, will you win.
The days of being underground is over, we need to be mainstream.
This is not about my vanity, I life a fine live, except for the constant harassment, of the police. It is about faith in Change and Democracy that should be blasted out over the rooftops of the cities, the domes of the underground, the halls of learning.
It is time Europe should make a stand again, this time, for the right reasons, that of the freedom of Europe.
G-d bless the wisdom of our forefathers, as they fought for their freedom, we should fight for ours.
I have been embroiled in the danish debate, stupid as it sounds. The level is low, there is not much in the content, and the rest of the world has, more or less, passed it when it comes to renewing the international debate. The incredible push that mr. Anders Fogh made is all but over. Politics is stagnating, and nothing new comes.
So, I hope that you have had the good friendship to linger on here in Rubicon, and pass by from time to time. I will try and start it over again. A lot of my projects are losing steam, and we need to pick ip up where we left.
First of all, we need to understand, that alienating Russia at this point is both futile and extremely dangerous. Russia is the key to peace. Because China is building up its network of competition very fast, and it is weak, except from the fact, that Russia, which is extremely strong, that we saw in Syria, is protecting it.
So from a geostratetic point of view, losing Russia is to give the Chinese an upper hand, we do not need them to have.
In this area I think, mr. Obama has played things wisely trying to find a middle ground.
The great, difficult problem really is Ukraine. This festering sore is still not solved, and it creates all the consecutive pain. We still have a common goal in the Middle East, where Russian are fighting good against those bastards of the IS, but the problem of Ukraine needs to be solved.
I do not know if it is possible on this side of the presidential election, and hopefully a new president will rise to challenge and perhaps solve the problem.
It is not totally impossible, but difficult though.
This bleeds into the European theatre, that is ready to go bust. The IS is entrenched here, and might just blow up anytime. This may suck in American troops, and then we have a whole new situation. Being friends with mr. Putin is really important.
G-d bless the wisdom of the peacekeepers.
I am reading this magnificent book by Dan Brown (the author of The Da Vinci Code) called Deception point. It is about American Politics. And though I have been a integrated part of American politics for some time now, I have happily been without knowledge of how things are really run in D.C..
Ok, Dan Brown may not be the best source of truth, but it seems to me, that there is a bit of truth in the fact, that that race is as dirty as any political fight.
Politics is a old as civilisation. It started in fabled cities as Babylon and Eden, and it has been with us since. The pitfalls being the same; corrupt governments, chaos, too many dependent on public welthfare, crony capitalism and the like.
If you read the bible, you can have advice, as in the story about the tower of Babel. This story comes from a situation they must have had in Babylon. The fabled city with the hanging gardens. The megacity of the ancient orient was one of the first true republics. It had a government that was divided between judges, the layman and the king.
From this we learn, that one of the worst problems of Babylon was the mix of cultures. At a certain point, there were too many cultures in the city, and all hell broke loose. The central Ziggurat, that is the temple of Babylon, is depicted as a tower that was built too large (it is enormous, you can still see it today) but had no inner core.
A Republic needs an inner core, that all citizens adhere to, to function. That is what I wanted to talk about in relation to the American constitution and the current hoolabaloo.
When the US started, it started with a pack of rebels rebelling against the English crown. There was a momentous speech by Patrick Henry, where he claims, that he will rather die than lose his freedom.
“Give me liberty, or give me death!”, he exclaimed. That is the inner core of the United States of America. You have to remember that, to be yourself. You are rebels, and if you end up being custodians of an ever enlarging empire, you lose yourself.
That is why you like me, because as Henry, I have exclaimed the exact same words not in defiance of the English crown, goodness no! But in defiance of those islamists, who are here to put a mark on us, and kill us.
You remind us of who we are, and vice versa.
Look at that virtue; You do not know when you have it, but not having it, is the problem. It is in the lack of it, that you realise the value of it.
Remember that, when you look out of your citadels and build your gigantic machines of war, there was that little powerful yet frail man, who went, willingly to his death to save his liberty. You are his children, and that is what you are, if you want to be Americans. As we, in Denmark are the same, if we want to be Danes.
G-d bless the United States of America in friendship with the Danes.
I have been giving the totally absurd security situation in Europe some thought over the last few days. It is much more complicated than just the threat of terrorist burning up atomic reactors. It goes much. much, much deeper.
First of all, the shift in paradigm that the Obama administration has made, that is deepening the ideological fight with radical islam to a fight between Democracy and islamic state, has not really been implemented in Europe. This is the basic problem. Europe still linger in a pre Obama understanding. In this idea, ALL muslims are socially disenfranchised victims of especially English imperialism.
As a consequence they are to be treated as victims, and any criticism is an open threat to the critical stance against imperialism.
This is, on an intellectual level complete bogus, since Muslims were not the main victims of English imperialism, and especially the Middle East was never really colonised. There were however a huge problem in India, America and Australia.
But, that is politics, facts and consequence is not always two things that compare.
Anyway, to try and counter the terrorist threat, that is a complete other prerogative. We tried to differ between IS and the rest of the muslims, effectively isolating the fight to a part of the muslim community, giving a way out for those muslims who are loyal to our democratic constitutions. A good solution by any stretch of the imagination. It works, we are not alienating the good muslims and we are fighting the bad.
Anyway this strategy has not been implemented in Europe. There are some initial steps taken by Germany, UK and France. Being the larger countries they have the ressources and the guts to fight evil in our midst. But the smaller countries are still living in a world where all muslims are victims and all Danes, Dutch and Belgians are inherently evil, white oppressive colonialists.
This shift of paradigm has to seep into the smaller countries as it is beginning in the larger countries. The first step is to isolate and document the large networks of the islamists. It is not only IS that is dug in deep in Europe, there are other organisations as Hizb-ut-tahrir and the like. They need to be uprooted and stopped, simple as that.
But then again, it is not as simple as that. Because the infiltration goes well beyond the hardcore islamists. These guys are not stupid, they have been waging a cold war style war for decades, that is infiltration of culture, media and any power centres that are up for grabs. A good example is the security guards in the airport, this goes on also in Denmark, probably also in other countries. Infiltration of security guards in atomic installations. You name it, you hate it. It is a network so wide, that to get an idea about it is, in itself, difficult.
But the secret police, and the other security apparatuses has to get a grip. This will only happen, if they get some help. Preferably from MOSSAD, who are the best. But also from CIA and perhaps Russia, FSB. They are also brilliant.
But you have to educate, push, make hard demands, put instructors in the country, hammer on the political system and do everything apart from putting grunts in. This is the only way we can avoid total catastrophes, like blowing up atomic reactors. And it has to be done immediately, as we speak IS is beefing up operations in Europe, and they are planning to hit very, very hard.
The clock is ticking, and time is very, very, very short. You need to move yesterday.
G-d bless the peace, we hopefully will win if we are fast enough.
The security of Europe is so damned and haphazard. I will give you an example. If you read Rubicon.dk a few years ago, you may have followed my harsh criticism of the Danish state in their outright persecution of my little jewish daughter. This was planned and executed by the PM of that time Helle Thorning-Schmidt the now chairman of children’s rights, talk about a turn around there!
Anyway the childtorturer had a henchman called Jacob Scharff. He was the head of the Danish security system called PET. The equivalent of FBI.
Anyway, this man, who has gone beyond all measures of civilised behaviour, tortured a little Jewish girl, to shut me up, is now, guess what, talking about more rehab for Islamists.
I mean, it is not that he does not have it in him to use ALL tools in the toolbox, a person who would make Donald Trump look like Santa Claus when it comes to the use torture. But when it comes to terrorists, he is all for a warm embrace, more cuddling, a new toy and luxury tour to Ibiza all at the expense os the Danish state.
That is ridiculous.
What we need to do, is to hammer down on the mosques that are producing the jihadis that go and rape Danes, Syrians, Yazidi and who else who are not in line with their fascists views. We need to take this serious.
Now, the PET have proved, on my little daughter, that they know how to persecute and bring the pain to someone. I believe I am the wrong target, and I believe, that we have some human rights in this country. So torture and persecution is not within the bounds of a serious state, remember, we are supposed to be a good example!
What we need, is for the system, to take the threats serious. Move within the laws, and put to jail, repatriate and in other ways move the terrorist to where they belong; out of the reach of bombs and weapons of mass destruction.
Grow some balls. I am sorry, if you do not take this serious, the state will fall. If that is not a serious consequence, what is?
G-d bless the peace we will eventually find.
Now, ok, the Americans, or should I say we, as I am more an American intellectual than a Danish, since Danes do not like my writing much, are worried about what is happening in Europe now. We are loosing it. Why?
Because of total misconduct in the whereabouts of the security system, but not only that, the political system, the judges, the liberal media have all failed.
We say in Denmark, that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. It is all good intentions; could we not talk a little less about the problems between radical islam and Denmark? Could we just stop all the confrontation and put the jihadis in rehab?
When I started talking about this, nobody in the States really believed me, because the level of idiocy is so absurd, that it could not be right. I mean, sending people who have raped and pillaged on rehab? Well it has been worse, once the idea was to give them a job! Imagine that, one of the prisoners of Guantanamo was given a job in the mail. So surprise, surprise, he started stealing the mail.
The stupidity is without bounds, so there are no easy fixes, you cannot fight idiocy, because its a state of mind.
Add to this the radicality of the European States, Americans must know, you were made as a reaction to this. There you have it, a catastrophe of a magnitude we cannot fathom.
The train is running, faster and faster against the cliff, and people are just putting on more fuel. It is a nightmare come through.
So, what can we do? We can work on the mindset, at least. Try to bring the politicians around, the media, the security system.
What should they do?
First of all, it is about taking the threat serious. As of now, they do not. The organisations of the jihadis are allowed to grow, not in all countries, the greater countries as UK, Germany and France are working, as they have more resources (and better people) on the issue. The problem is more the smaller countries.
They are stupid, and they are not capable of handling themselves. Take Holland, there they killed the people who criticised radical islam, as Theo van Gogh and Pim Fortuyn, not a wise decision. The same problem you have with Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Sweden to a certain degree. At least that is what I know of.
So we need to give them some kind of advice.
Then there is the great what if? What if everything goes to hell, and American troops are forced to go in and stop the killing?
Well, that is what we need to avoid, and that will only happen, if we educate, train, and help the security apparatus, and the rest of the system.
They need to start thinking security on a serious level!
This is not about war, but avoiding more bloodshed and atrocities.
G-d bless the peace we have to win, after the mayhem.
Many wonder why the EU is in such trouble, I mean, seen from outside, the problems are manageable, easy to solve. Just put up a simple barrier between each member state, invest in security, and problem solved.
But, the truth is that there is absolutely no cohesion between the different states. What Finland does and thinks is miles away from what Portugal does and thinks. Each country is a world in itself.
So the cooperation on a real democratic level is nonexistent.
So can it be changed? Yes, if you had the humility and respect for each member state, letting each state do their business and had a transparent interaction between each state, it could have been done. But the exact opposite has happened; opaque decitionmaking, oppression of states that did not fall in line, undemocratic institutions.
It has all resulted in a complete cynical worldview. So the entire Bruxelles bureaucracy went weeping after the terror attack. Well, if you were truly interested in the security of the public, why didn’t you then invest in security? Why has migration been forced on the member states?
You reap as you sow.
Under this lack of any kind of serious ethical government lies a lack of understanding of politics. Politics in Bruxelles is basically corruption. You buy this PM, you invest some money in this country to make it your friend and so on. This may work for some time, but the end result is a cardhouse that will fall, simply because as in all other revolutions, the people will rise to fight the atrocities at some point. You saw it in the Russian revolution, you saw it in the French revolution, you saw it in the protestant revolution. When the atrocities and the corruption is too harsh, the people will rise.
In the French revolution the atrocities that were beneath the monarchy, was that of sexual abuse. If you read Marquis de Sade, you will have a little peek into the dark horrid world that the French monarchy was. The same is the situation of the European Union, you may not hear it from the media, but everybody knows, that the atrocities done in Köln and in numerous other places by especially Muslim migrants, is the reason why people are rebelling against the system.
As long as it continues, the revolution fill be fed with new motivation, continually. Add to this the crime, the terror and there you have it; the prerequisites for another pan European revolution.
This is the historical experience.
Well, I am happy I am not one of the Marie Antoinettes of the EU, still insisting on the magnanimity of the realm, but a lowly and persecuted philosopher. Persecuted for pointing to the fact, that emperor has no clothes on.
G-d bless the peace we hope to find, even though it seems pretty far away.
I believe, that we have to connect to the first Israel to make the second. The first Israel was a country that initiated the monotheistic religions. First it was just us Jews, then it was Christianity and the Islam.
But when something has stopped, it has to start again. We need to understand what it was that stopped, find the first Israel, to make the second.
The first Israel, was a small country squeezed in between the Assyrian republic of Babylon and the kingdom of Egypt.
It had the joy to reap the best ideas of both. On one hand it reaped the new ideas of Moses (an Egyptian) and at the other ideas was enveloped in the science and advanced civilisation of the Assyrians.
Many of the stories of the Torah are experiences and good advice for a democratic or republican institution as the Babylonian Assyric.
How do we understand then where we should stand today? By reading the prophets of that time. Like Daniel, who was a member of the Babylonian court, and other great prophets of that time.
They spurned the religious/metaphysical development very far, and we have to understand how they saw it.
They lived in a time, where the ideology was vibrant and alive, we need to connect to that vibrancy and life. Live the ideas of what Judaism truly is. Give power to the heaven, not just for ourselves, support the poor in their misery, and strive for goodness.
In this lies the rebuilding of Israel. Not just the frame or the language, but the ideology.
G-d bless Israel.
The political/security situation in Europe is becoming more and more complicated as the Middle East is flowing in over the borders of the EU.
Let us first look at the big WHY? Why do the flow of migrants never stop flowing.
To understand that, we need to understand the structure of the EU. The EU was made, according to some of the criticisers I have read, as a reaction to the rise of the Nazis before the second world war. The conclusion was, as I understand it, that the people were to blame. The German people elected leaders that threw the continent into turmoil and destruction.
Well, first of all, the first world war, that was as violent as the second world war, perhaps even worse in the trenches of the Belgian front, was not started by the people, but by the leaders.
So the these that the EU is built upon is truly false. Harmony in a civic body is not about one or the other part of society having power, but about the true balance of power between the different parts of society.
This is why the EU does not work. It does not work, because the tilt in the favour of the political and bureaucratic aristocracy is too strong. The EU is a construction where the peoples of Europe are virtually powerless. We have seen it in Greece, where the Greek people have voted in and out, but their consent is totally ignored. We have seen it in the discussion of migration from the Middle East. The peoples of Europe are adamantly against it, but the political and bureaucratic class has, so far, supported it vigerously.
In a balanced society, it would never have come to this. The open borders, the soft hand on the islamists and so on. The peoples would have voted out.
We can see it in the local national governments. Here the citizens are voting in favour for some very loudmouthed anti migration parties, some founded on even nazi ideas!
This is not to scorn anybody, I know that this is a difficult issue, and I have tried to support all the different parties, and not pick sides. This is just to point to the fact, that the system is flawed.
If you compare the current EU system to the system of the Carthaginians, who, according to Aristotle, had an admirable system. you can here see the equilibrium in effect. In Carthago the senate was run by the most experienced leaders of the republic. But if these leaders could not agree on something unanimously, they had to present the issue to the people. So there was a fine balance there. Carthago existed seven hundred years, and despite its dark sides, it remained an industrious culture for a very very long time, it was not until Rome rose, that it fell.
So my point is, the EU will fall, because the construct is simply flawed.
G-d bless the peace we will find after all the chaos we are now entering.
The Middle East is in turmoil, as it has been for so many times. But this time, there seems to be a certain inhumanity in the way things are done.
One of the things i have been worried about, is the persecution, yes outright eradication of minorities. Especially the Yazidi as well as the Coptic minority.
I truly believe, that we should not fight for Christendom only in the Middle East theatre. Fighting a crusade like fight, will connect us to some of the atrocities the crusaders have done in the Middle East, and that is a problem. I believe we should fight from a clean moral perspective, and that is the democratic.
But within the democratic ideology lies an idea about the protection of minorities. The minorities of the Middle East, especially the Coptic and Yazidi are wonderful little societies of pure faith.
But, there is another society that I would like to point to. That is the minority of the Assyrian. This little Christian community is forced to leave the Middle East, and is persecuted by the Islamic State. Some of them forced to be slave brides.
This is the inhumanity that is an abomination of all creeds.
As the crusaders were, in some areas inhuman, this IS monster is just the same.
Therefor, I think we should look out for the Assysrians. Not just because they are more or less helpless, but also because they, as many other parts of the Middle East theatre, carry one of the oldest cultures of the human civilisation. They, more or less, started human civilisation with grand personalities as Nimrod and Semiramis. With polises as Babylon and Nineveh.
If they are eradicated from history, at great, great loss will be the consequence.
G-d bless the willingness to be fair and human in a conflict that tears out all humanity from the eyes of the savage who are wrong.

There is a war coming up in Europe, and it is a natural consequence of the choices mr. Obama and I have done in the Middle East.
We have fought Islamic State. Not all of muslims, but a part of the Sunni muslims that are quite fond of the caliphate. At the same time we have, or at least I have, supported Egypt. Thereby making a way out for the Arabs states, not getting involved in an all out slaughter between the West and the muslim countries.
I believe this is really the best scenario we can attempt at making as the caliphatists are using all their might to kill and maim everybody.
Now it seems to me a little odd, that the Republicans keep on telling that we have not had a good strategy, as they themselves point at a strategy that is, honestly, pretty stupid. Mr. Trump, being a good man in many ways, tells us we need to fight all muslims. All muslims, I mean is that really serious, killing a third of the world population.
If that is serious, I truly believe we have come back to the good old viking times again. So in practical life, what would that be? Nuking most of the middle East?
The problem about the fight we are having with the Sunni muslims, is the fact, that they want to fight us, but they are not truly capable of doing it, so they resort to sneak attacks, psychological warfare and mostly cold war techniques as infiltration and manipulation of media.
This is not fought with physical power, this is fought with cunning and industry.
We have made the strategy of fighting only the part of the muslim world, that really wants to fight us. What is so wrong about that? We even made peace with Iran, because they decided not to fight us. Now they are experiencing a blossoming of their beautiful culture. What is wrong with that?
There is a showdown in Europe. Right now, one of my brothers in arms, at least ideologically, mr. Bertel Haarder, our current minister of culture, is plotting against the caliphatists here in Denmark, because they are abusing our system, and do not respect our rights of democracy.
In a way it is a choice between that WASP ideology. That is focusing on race, patriotism and religion. And a choice of a democratic, freedom focused, patriotic nonreligious fight.
The one leading to failure, as it has done in the past. The other leading to victory, as it has already.
Mind you, I wholeheartedly support protestantism, in fact I believe that I have saved the Anglican church. I am myself a maltese knight of high ranking. But I do not believe in an all out religious war, it will be the end of the world.
No, let us continue down the path of democracy, it will not tear things apart, but keep our nations at its best possible make up.
At least, this is what I hope will happen.
G-d bless the peace we will hopefully find.
Now, there is a discussion on the legacy of mr. Barack Obamas first four years and then another four. Mind you, still there is another year to go, and a lot of things can happen in the meantime.
But, the first seven years have been a turn around for the West. When Barack started his tenure, remember, it was all two minutes before the final meltdown of Western Europe. China was booming, that is, our economy was going down the drain. Osama Bin Laden was on the loose, and all the wars mr. George Bush had done had just used more resources and not given any results. In fact it had alienated everybody except for the most trusted allies. (Among them Denmark).
Now, we have turned it around! The US is the one country in the West that is truly making jobs, American ideology is reaffirmed in the world, and things are looking … well, good, right?
Time to turn off those gloomy, pessimistic views, and be realistic about what we have done. We have made a turn around.
Then what is it really that we have done? Well, we have done that one thing that the Republicans keep talking about that they want to do; we have made America great again. How? By adhering to that base that everybody seems to overlook when they discuss Alinsky, he was not a crypto socialist. No, he was a democrat. He believed in democracy, and that is what we have fought for, in every battle in every decision, in all that we have put as the basis of our thought. Was it good for democracy.
That is the legacy that we will truly bring to our heir; the fight for democracy. But not just the fight for democracy, also the fight for civil rights. Because people are talking about Barack not doing enough in the race war. Come on, he has done what is the best there could be done. He has been the ideal president in a situation where everything was going haywire, and he has done it, as a coloured man, not complaining one single time about his colour or anything. He has made an example, that Martin Luther King would have been proud of.
By making that example, who will ever say that because you are not white in skin you cannot do what is necessary for your nation? Noone.
I think you will miss us. Mind you, we are still here, but it will never really be the same. Because we saved you, and now when you are saved, the thrill and the danger is more or less over.
But there will be new threaths, new wars to fight, new challenges, and we will still be here to advise and talk about the challenges. Not to control, but to be honest about how we see things.
G-d bless the United States of America.
The European Union is at its final stage of disintegration. The great what to do now?, is upon us.
I have tried to prepare Europe for the probable demise of the European Union, knowing that when it happens, a lot of chaos will ensure. In such a situation the greatest threat is vigilantism and the rise of tyrants.
As in Germany between the first and second world war, the poverty and general malaise will give rise to extremism and thuggism.
To counter this, and to prepare Europe for the oncoming war with parts of Islam, I have tried to inspire a democratic revolution.
We need to fight, but we need to do it for the right reasons and with the right means.
The fight against ISIS is a prelude to this more bitter and devasting fight in Europe.
What will happen in half a year, when all the power has been taken back and been reinstalled in the national parliaments?
We will see, but the great upheaval, the fight against the barbarity of the Islamists. The terror that we will face, will be defining occurrences in a prolonged battle.
Each nation will have to sort out its own problems, and some nations will fall. Hopefully few, but Sweden and Germany are candidates for dysfunctional states.
But I think that Germany will prevail, and that leaves only Sweden. But having a warring caliphate here in Scandinavia will not exactly be nice, and we may have to give them war at a specific point.
The Swedish state will however be finished, like it or not.
We are entering another phase in the ongoing fight between freedom and tyranny. New foes emerge, new ideas threaten us.
But if we hold dear the values of democracy and humanism, these virtues will prevail.
G-d bless the will to be free.
