The election in Israel is coming to an end. Let me be clear about this. I support, 100 %, mr. Netanyahu. He has been clear, decisive, intelligent, honest and extremely skilled in his defense of Israel. He has his faults as everybody else. But in a volatile situation where enemies are all over, mr. Netanyahu is the right man to support. On top of this he actually does balance between liberal and conservative stances, especially in the late Gazan war. Something he never got the right amount of praise for. The conservative part could not see the balance he actually made.

We very much disagree on Iran, but we hold the same values. We are in the same party. We analyze things a little differently, but we want the same.

So, if I can do anything to help, please ask me. If it is about Iran, why not give me a call? I will listen to all arguments, all evidence presented by all parties. I am not swayed by pressure, but logic arguments are what turns my ideas, and I am open to any.

But, as I see it, mr. Netanyahu is the right president.

G-d bless Israel.

We try to remember what we can, but a basic premise of being man, is to forget. Therefor, things that seemed obvious once will be forgotten in the next day.

Here in the Scandinavic cultures, we have forgotten who we are. It is all good, that we are inspired by this and that beautiful philosophy, but truly we should also remember who we ourselves are. Our identity is worth something. It is something we should not forget, something that is just ours to preserve and give us something to be special about.

I think the rationalistic enlightened paradigm we have immersed ourselves in makes us blind sometimes, to other ways of seeing the world. We believe, in our arrogance, that our version of reality is the only viable. But, there are many other version of the world, and how can we be sure that ours is the right one?

Off cause I believe that rationalism and enlightenment is the basis we should stand on, but perhaps a more humble attitude to the world view would make it easier to be us.

Instead of believing we hold the only answers, we should perhaps be ready to accept, that it is a version of reality we should be ready to defend and fight for.

If we do not understand how other people think, then how are we to navigate and put forth arguments for our way of things?

G-d bless true wisdom.

There is more peace, and less war. But always these forces of light and darkness, order and chaos are surviving in an eternal embrace.

True spirituality must serve G-d. If it is only another selfagrandisment or another personal gain one gets by calling upon G-ds name, it is not G-d one follows, but the dark lord. It is as simple as that.

Evil is always present, and most often in the people who demands moral authority without humility. Those who know for certain what is right or wrong. Be it Herodes, Levfebrians, fanatic Christians, Hindu, Jews or Muslim.

They know what is right, and as a consequence believe to have the moral authority to persecute and subdue. But you never know the way of G-d. You may have an idea, or you may find a guiding star. But we as men are too simple to really understand the ins and outs of what G-d wants, the grander scheme, the great objective. We are simpletons compared to G-d, and should therefor be humble to try and understand his plan. Never be arrogant and all knowing, we are but small ants compared to the wisdom of G-d.

Now, there is a lot of fighting going on in the Middle East right now, and the two main strands of Islam are in an infight. As often before. Why? Why is it necessary? Is there a greater goal? Who will benefit? Will G-d and love and peace be strengthened, or just the gain of the man on earth?

These questions should be asked and answered sincerely before going into another war. Because war is the mother of all misery, and misery is the paycheck of the dark lord.

So please, understand your own motives before you strike. Not your gain, but your endgame. What is it you will truly get from going into another devastating war.

And I will tell you now; you will gain nothing. Only lose lives and prestige. People will say; oh it is the primitives of the Middle East, fighting yet again, and they will not come to the Middle East to understand who they themselves are. They will just fly over it as another unruly spot on earth, better not meddled with.

Therefor unity is better, brotherhood of man is better, honesty and humility is better. Not egoism and selfishness.

G-d bless the peace we may have, if we are wise enough.

Now the crisis in Ukraine is on the mend, it is not over, but it is getting much better. The inital redrawing of heavy weaponry is underway, and the conflict surrounding the terrible civililian disaster in Debaltseve has been concluded. One way or the other, it is a bad deal for the Ukraine side, and a good deal for the independent republic side. Russia won, hands down, we need to give mr. Putin that.

But, as a man of peace, I am more interested in the longterm implications of the conflict. War is always terrible, the civilians in harms way are paying heavily for the problems we as international peace brokers cannot solve. Human beings pay, children cannot go to school, friends who knew each other their entire life separate, families are broken. This is the face of war.

Therefor war is always to be avoided.

Now, hopefully the dialogue and healing can begin. This is important, to mend the wounds and get back on a more amiable track. Wounds will fester if they are not healed, and perhaps here the churches can play a good role as arbiters of truth and consolation. We need the churches to heal wounds and help those in need of salvation and in need of just a place to have shelter.

This should be an international project, where all good churches should chip in and try to help those in need.

Also Jews are in danger, here again international Jewish agencies should help and save those poor souls who are in danger. I know this has been underway all the time already, but a focus on the healing process could be an item of interest, in the interest of Jewish life in the area and the traditions that they uphold.

I really think that the EU should not abuse the situation and use the catastrophe for their own gain. No, Russia is not a bad guy, it is a nation with national interests. As all other nations. Using the needs of Russia, to protect Russians, is fanning the flames, and people will die and suffer from this course. Be humane, think of the people in need, not just on your own needs. Your needs are not interesting in the face of children dying and people loosing the homes.

G-d bless you all, and thank you for your inherent kindness, that is shown in the actions of peacemaking.

In these days, where all we believe in is a stake, we need heroes. What is a hero in a modern time? It is a man or a woman, who risk his life, his future and his very existence for a cause. These people are very, very rare because they are made of a special material. They do not simply get up in the morning and got on with their daily business, they rise to fight another day, to challenge the status qua another day, to make a better a world out of all the chaos we have.

My friend is one of those rare people here on earth, and I am proud, not jut proud, but truly humbled by the attention I get from him, and the inspiration he gives me.

He is called Lars Vilks, and he has just been the attention of a major attempt on his life here in Denmark. He is my hero, my best friend, my little light in the vast darkness that surrounds us, and there is no doubt, that the ideas he believes in will be the ones we should fight for. That is humanistic, democratic ideals, with an acceptance of all Muslims who believe in peace, and a fierce stance against all Muslims who believe in Islamic State and the international Caliphate.

I believe, that one day, the world will turn again, and once again it will cry for freedom, once again will it defy all the corruption and destruction the late ideas have given us, and start having faith in democracy again.

The bannermen we should have, should be of the most durable material, the finest specimen of the human race. The most courageous, the most true, the most honest.

And now we have one of them, and he is called Lars Vilks.

I have linked to an interview with him after the attack, here you can perhaps get at feeling of his power. It is in Swedish, but if anything else, check out his unflinching blue eyes as he is called out on his belief in democray, and you will be awed.

G-d bless the heroes we still have, and may they be protected.

Another time another enemy:

The middle East. The place where the Hittities invented the asylum, where the Egyptian priests invented humanism, where the Assyrians invented kingship and astronomy, where writing was invented, agriculture, the wheel, aristocracy, mathematics, metaphysics, science.

This is the place we today bicker over, send our bombs over, with often very little understanding of all the layers of history and progress made there.

We are only fools to judge people in the Middle East, let alone believe we can guide anyone. We can perhaps give the Middle East something back, as Lawrence of Arabia, who through the meticolous application of Oxfordian methods dug up ancient ideas and artifacts of the Hittities.

Perhaps as me, who have dug up ancient principles that the Middle East can use to regain some footing.

But lecturing the Middle East? That is simply stupid and arrogant. We need to show respect for the ancient lore of the peoples there, because we can ourselves learn so much.

As the Coptic Church that I have fallen in love with. Such a simple and true church. There is no arrogance, and an immense acceptance of the burdens they bear. So beautiful.

This is a lesson to all of us, especially the Catholic and Anglican church. Look at them; the forefathers of Moses, with a simple and honest air, with a very direct connection to their congregation. With an ethical stand we can only dream to aquire. They go to the desert to make a joyful party in the midst of the danger.

Honest, sacrifising, simple and yet immensly deep.

This the Middle East. Something to revere and respect, not control.

G-d bless the ancient land of Two lands, Assyria, Babylon, Israel, Arabia and all the rest.

We are coming to an end in the infight between mr. Netayahu and mr. Obama. It is about the Iran deal. I have, after I beat mr. Ahmadinejad in the first tenure together with mr. Obama, been in for a deal.

I believe in diplomacy as the first recourse, and only fighting as the second recourse. Sometimes it works, other times it does not work.

With Iran it works, because Iranians are basically a very gifted and positive people, the basic virtues of the realm of Persia is positive. It is an ancient nation of high culture, and is accostumed to be a leader in matters of religion and civilization. As Cyrus as Avicenna as Zoroaster. All great men who contributed to world civilization.

Now, in this discussion I am in direct disagreement with mr. Netanyahu. Mr. Netanyahu does not trust the current government of Iran, well, I cannot blame him. Given the current shadow fighting between Israel and Iran. I mean, in the last Gazan war, one of the main sponsors of the war was Iran. Add to this a direct link between Hamas and Iran, this is logical. Add to this his responsability to protect the Jewish people, a historical task, that has been given to towering figures as Solomon, David, Ben Gurion and Ariel Sharon, he is in a line of great men, that he has to live up to. Not easy, but possible.

I just have the fealing, that diplomacy will work, why? Because there is an opening and we do share the same values as Iran. Honestly, would Iran terminate the holy city, with the most holy of sites not only to Christians but also the Muslims, I do not think so. They are far too civilized for that. We are not talking ISIS here, but a mature and humane rule, that tries to find its place in history.

I do not know the deal that mr. Obama has made, but I trust him, and I believe it to be a good one. After all, it is not the content of the deal that matters, it is the attitude. Are we to fight more or to find peace?

I vote for peace, as long as there is a chance for it, and dialogue is continued.

I know that this goes against the interest of mr. Netanyahu, but as there was Haman and Esther, there was also Cyrus, and both these trends within Persia is a reflection of what Persia is.

G-d bless the will for peace.

Now, I have evolved a little. In the beginning it was all resistance movement and hell bent on fighting back the evil foe we have in our midst. Now it has become much more ”acceptable”, I have readers from all layers of the society, especially leaders who need inspiration to tackle all their numerous problems.

So the conflicts with my own close society have become less. That is in way a blessing, it gets straining to be an outcast for so long. It is ok, and I suppose you can get used to it, but at the end of the day, kids needs to go to school, birthdays are to be held, and endless conflict with everybody around you is a bit draining.

Now it seems to me, that my friend Tommy Robinson from the EDL have had a bit of the same development. From the endless fighting and the problems of organizing a huge defense league, to the more mellow and less straining existence as a politician and a leader. I really hope Tommy will have a reprieve, and people will start listening to him again. Because he has all the right answers. It is not about subjecting anyone to his will, and he is truly not a racist. He is a conservative liberal, as mr. Churchill, but with a new mix of agendas to consider.

Please let that guy in, he is all you have for a hero right now, but he is, at the same time, the best of us all. True, honest, sincere and protective.

Please, if any of my ideas and words have ever given you anything, give him the benefit of the doubt, he deserves it.

You will only be healed if you are able to be whole.

G-d bless England

For a long time, people branded me a racist, a warmonger and troublemaker. When I confronted the Danish public with the fact, that a huge epidemics of rape, was at hand in the country they themselves loved and cherised, they did all they could to banish me. It ran directly contrary to all they believed in of tolerance and multiculture.

I have looked behind the veils, and understood the face of islamism. Seen what it did to tear down people and landmarks of great antiquity, torture people and use means so terrible Stephen King would have shied away from using them in his books, altough he is supposed to be the most far creative in horror imagination. Burning children? Slaughtering innocents? Enslaving innocents Christian girls. For what? Just to subdue whoever is in their way.

This is the true face of the Islamic state, of the international caliphate we are fighting.

But in the beginning the socalled enlightened people of the higher intellectual hierarchies did not understand that, their horizon was too narrow, they saw only simple things as race and tolerance.

The world is not simple it is complex, and tolerance as a virtue without understanding how the world works is like jumping up and down in a playpen without knowing anything about the world.

I do not know who invented these half measures, but they should at least read Plato or Aristotle. I mean if we are supposed to have a civilisation, we actually have to take it serious, otherwise we are just children playing with toys we do not understand, with the predicable result.

So now, after the Islamic state has realised its true face, we have the opportunity to discuss, truly, who they are, and what they are doing.

They are descendants of the dark lord, if there is any sense in talking about evil and good. Torture, slaving, burning children, that is the work of the dark lord. He is still here, and he is coming for us.

This reflects our actions, and gives us the impetus to use other means to fight. Because, this is what we are forced to do. We need to be fair, honest, and not use excessive force. We are not to use torture, we are not to lie about the war, we are to be absolutely fair in our actions and our thought.

G-d bless the wisdom of the ancients.

There has been a lot of fuss here in Denmark after the attack on some of my friends, and on the Jewish synagogue. People are really showing their true colors, and the politicians are falling over each other to come to our rescue. Or, in a strange way, it does not seem to be about us intellectuals, all the fuss, but more about harvesting voters, or well, just communication. The solutions have been close to lamb and often absolutely stupid. Everybody is talking about preventive measures, as if no one actually have realized WE ARE AT WAR.

Denmark is not France. In France, the home of philosophy and ethics, the support to ethnic minorities, and intellectuals is actually very strong, also in practise. Here in Denmark, we seem more to be a nuisance to get rid of. Now, everybody have walked with torches, and after that it seems to me, it is back to X-factor.

I have, however been witness to some amazing acts of heroism. My acquaintance Dan Park was at the meeting that was attacked, and he did not flinch, just took another sip of his beer. While as everybody else scrambled for cover. That man has some guts.

I just hope, we will see some kind of action, but not on unenlightened basis, based on knowledge. But, we will see.

G-d bless the peace we will find.

Writing a book is like sailing a ship, you start out on the voyage, and you have an idea about the destination, but at the end of the day, you often end up somewhere else, somewhere beautiful, otherwise the trip would be pointless.

So, I am starting this new book, for once just because I like it. It is not some work of duty, to save democracy or make a rebirth to religion, no it is something of an experiment, something that will give me a chance to discover new trends in writing, let me experiment with philosophical issues. For once it is actually not avant garde and ten years before its time, it is just a book, perhaps a good book, who knows, not a single word has been written yet, but I have done lot of thinking, and some of it has inspired my blogging, though, to be honest, my muse tells me, I should write about politics. It would be more to the point, considering the war in Europe and all the strife and pain we will experience.

But, I know it is a bit selfish, and probably not well timed, but I just need to consider the fact that writing is a source of energy for myself also, and if I do not write something unabashedly profane and lowbrow, something that is not immediately satisfying all the high brow critics, then why the heck not? I can do that, it is my right as an independent intellectual.

Enough of my babling. The idea is both simple and complex at once. I am going to write an action novel, but it will be based on ancient Danish mythology, and the ethic core of the novel, will a platonic discussion on justice.

I have done some research, and found a work, or story, that will, hopefully bridge the gap between Denmark and the Anglican world. I will retell the story of Hamlet, or Amled as he is called in Danish. So I suppose it ends up high brow and Oxfordian anyway. But, as Joseph Conrad, my yarn will be littered with action. With battles of grand vikings fighting for their glory and place besides Odin after their rise to Valhalla.

That is an enticing mix is it not?

We will see, at least it will tremendous fun to write.

G-d bless us, as we pray for our redemption and inspiration.

So we need a status on the current development in regards of the war between the descendants of the vikings and the sons of Allah. I love Egypt, I adore the beduins of the desert, so I do not take this conflict as an all out war, there are groupings of Muslims we fight, not all.

But we must admit, however we see it, that there is an enemy, even the most stubborn liberalist (me being one of them) must agree, that there is an enemy, and we need to fight it.

Being Europe, we also need to evolve along the way. It should not just be about what we fight against, but also about what we fight for.

This however, changes things. Because when you evolve, you come from one position, and you go to another position. This means leaving some ideas and accepting new ideas.

One thing I have noticed in the fight for our freedom, is the fact that we have become less and less corrupt. It struck me, when I learned about the idea of putrification, or fining. The idea, that when you are burned, what burns away is the corruption. Corruption breeds in stale water, while as honesty is found in the fight. In a sense this talks against the idea of peace, because the peace we strive for will most probably also breed corruption, at least if take our parents generations as an example.

Maybe I am wrong, but we should not be blind to this danger when we finally have peace again. If we reach peace, and then end up in corruption, it will all just have been for naught.

But right now, I can see, that the trend is less corruption, more transcendence, less manipulation.

Well, there is some discussion on the relationship between Israel and the ongoing feud between now France, The US, Denmark and the international caliphatists. Who is in the forefront?

We all are! I mean, we have our countries crawling with islamists. Their headquarter is in Rome, in London, in Gaza, they are everywhere.

So what does that make us? It makes us allies. We can be above below, leading, on the side, but at the end of the day, we are allies, that is all there is to it.

In France and in Denmark, it is pretty obvious that the islamists see the fight for freedom, democracy and justice interlinked with judaism. Well, maybe as a surprise to many Jews, this is actually the leading trend within the West right now.

We do not ally ourselves with the Jews because there is some deeper philosophical idea to it, it is simply because we fight on the same side.

But, personally I must admit, that in order to make this fight meaningful, it should be more than just fight over territory and security, that is why I dream the dream of Israel being the ultimate peacemaker, the center of the rise of all three monotheistic religions. All united in peace.

If it was only a defensive fight, what about the dreams of our forefathers? I admit, that Israels most important role is as a defense for all Jews, but why cant we be more ambitious? We need a world in peace, not in war.

We need to do something about the threats we meet, but the endresult should not be war, but peace.

G-d bless the peace we will find in the end.

So now we are here, another strike at the heart of freedom of speech, as in France, as in the US with the Two Towers. They want us to shut up, and implement their glorious caliphate, and we choose to concur, to reject, to say no, non, nej, njet, get out of our sight!!!

You can try to analyze it down to nothing, to forget about it, to blame it on me, but at the end of the line it is like this; it is rock or bust, it is getting into the fray or be killed, it is fighting or dying the slow lethargic death of the cowards.

We chose to stand, we despise you as you charge us, we laugh at your puny ideas and we will come and get you. Mark my words, we will rise again, we will shed the chains of multiculturalism, of the weakness someone wish to put on us, and we will get back on you. As of my right as Jew and as Dane I challenge you again, we will not surrender. You weak, stupid, disgusting cretin.

G-d bless the peace we will eventually win.

In the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, there is the fact, that the overall plan seems to have been lost to the conflict. Why is it really that Ukraine and Russia fight? Is it because of freedom? No, obviously Donetsk and Lugansk would, if they could choose, not be a part of Ukraine. So if there was anything meaningful, it would be to set them free. At the other hand, the conflict smacks of fear and old wounds. The U.S. Has been fast to pour in and help the nationalists, and Russia has been fast in strengthening the rebels in Lugansk and Donetsk. But why? I mean, we are facing a worldwide threat of IS, that is benevolently killing all who are in their way. They hold a huge power in the European mainland, and they are not shy of using it. Their methods are obviously taken from some nightmare novel, and they are uncompromising. If we look a few years into the future. It is pretty obvious, that the fight will increase especially in Central Europe, blood flowing in endless streams making the second and first world war joyful preludes in comparison.

So the mechanics of strategy and war gives a natural impetus for all of us to unite and not be divided. I mean, practically, if there is an enormous war at the doorsteps of Ukraine, what will be the probability of Europe coming to the rescue, or anyone actually? We cannot afford it, we are hard pressed ourselves. Even if we wanted, we simply could not.

In fact, it will soon be the other way around, we will come asking you for help, and you will be hard pressed not to give it, because of the inhumanity and the scope of the events.

The recent figures speaks for itself, according to the surveys I have read, European Muslims are all in for IS. This makes them enemies. Up to a quarter of citizens of France are Muslims. Look at Great Britain, it is the same, as holland, as Denmark, as Sweden. We have a huge number of enemies in behind our borders. Our security systems are so overwhelmed by the prospects, that they are overreacting and persecuting the most prolifent leaders who address the problem. Everybody are in panic. So should we then come to your rescue?

Look at it as it is, you are fighting your own brothers, they are kin. The more you fight, the deeper the wounds will be. You now have a tiny chance to stop the meaningless slaughter and come to terms.

You will be needed elsewhere in the coming fight, and the more we fight with each other, the more weakened will we be when the storm comes.

I cannot promise you anything, and you are wronged by cutting too much into Ukraine. I can only tell you, that perhaps the future events will make the current conflicts look ridiculous, and make us wish there was otherwise.

As in Israel, mr. Netanyahu was weakened by not fighting the Gazans to the end, but the world won by realizing the threat of IS.

I wish I had more to give, but the storm is coming, and we need to be prepared.

G-d bless you, and may you keep your honor.

To understand how to make peace, you need to understand what things are. Knowledge and diplomacy are two forces interlinked. As in the diplomatic sucess the US has had with Iran, it can have the same with Russia, it just needs to understand how the thinking goes in Russia to find the right ideas and ways to make a peace. We did it before, we can do it again.

So who are the Russians really? On the surface, everybody sees a Communist superpower gone down, now trying to regain its power. But is this really what is happening? Russia is not a Communist superpower, it is Russia.

Even under the Communist era, it was still Russia, and Communism was an ideology, but if you dug a little under the surface, you would find, that Russia did not disappear, it was still there with all its tradition, with its fondness for ballet, with its ideas of warmth, with its ancient pride as tall men of the north with a mix of slavic identity. It revers and idolizes the great scholars of Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy. We know it here in Denmark, because we also have had a lot of good connections with the Russians over the millennia, even to the extent that we exchanged queens and hospitality many times. Denmark and Russia has been friends and kin for a long time. Our young prince is called Valdemar, as his forefather, who was originally called Vladimir.

Now, there is one thing that people have never understood with the Russians, and that is why each and every attempt on dominating Russians have failed, as the feeble attempt on dominating Russia with tradebarriers will not work. I mean, both Napoleon and Hitler attacked Russia with far superior weapons, and still Russia was victorious, so why would trade blocks work? It is silly. No, Russians have, since the first fall of Ukraine and the first Russians been suffering over and over again. By the Mongols, by the Europeans, but the Ottoman, and as a result, it has grown into accustomed to it, even made a philosophy to underpin the suffering, Russians call it fining (рафинирование). Each war is seen as a chance to grow into something even stronger, expanding the Rus to the farthest corner of the Globe. Remember, Rus, started as a viking state, and is now the greatest country in the world. This has cost blood in streams so unimaginable, that we as central Europeans cannot begin to understand it. This is why pressure does not work with Russia, only diplomacy works.

So, why did Mr. Putin, all of a sudden choose to work with France and Germany? Because he is also a man of peace, we should see the pattern in this, in our dealings with him in Iran, in his ways in Ukraine, where he could, if he chose, just use some of the more dangerous weapons and end the war in short term. He is basically a man of honor.

The way mr. Putin sees the world, is a fight between light and darkness, of chaos and order. Him being the caretaker of the light and the order. Why? Because Russians are independent, but in wartimes have grown used to strong leaders protecting them. He is serving that age old role as a defender of the Rus, as the father of Russia, as the strong, unflinching protector of all who are Russian. He despises weakness and corruption, he admires strength and honesty.

Concerning the peacedeal in Kiev, I propose one strange admission. In the beginning of the conflict, the brave nationalist went into the fray. They say, that there is no thing as a nation of Ukraine, I defy them. There is, it should be a choice made freely, but regarding Ukraine, it should, in the western part be based on the culture of the old.

It should reflect the vikings and their values, of freedom and democracy. Of strength and honesty. In the olden times all men met at the thinge, here we held discussion on things and battles were fought. This idea reflects the lofty and beautiful ideas of Athens, complementing the freedom in each case.

So when it falls on discussing the frame of Ukraine, it must be a frame of freedom.

G-d bless you all, and may you all find peace through josting with words not swords.

We have become corrupt in Europe, there was a time, when we sung about the freedom and the fight against tyranny. Now we scrabble about, craven and afraid of our own shadows.

This is really the difficulty facing the Ukraine conflict. We do not come into it with honesty and truth, but through means of manipulation.

Only if we become what we once were; fighters for freedom and honesty, of nationhood and brotherhood, of equality and humanism can we effectively solve our problems.

We all eye each other with suspicion, a leftover from the cold war, and the opposition between capitalism and communism. I urge you to see, that we should not enter the conflict as comrades or businessmen, but as citizens. As scions of that great civilization that France gave us, as democrats and honestly believing in the peoples of Europe, believing in their right to remain free and unbound, to be equal with us, not unwieldy problems we have to wrangle with.

Let our inner gendarm rip us free from the prison of the second world war, and let everybody free.

When you fight for your life, in the face of mortal danger, you hop and skip and do your best to be looking for the small door, that might be at the end of that dangerous path you are trying.

When you are out on open sea, and the wrath of the storm seeks you out, and you do your best to steer your little boat, using your immense skill, and you feeling for the waves, to guide your decrepit boat, you sometimes fall upon a hidden cliff beneath the vawes, and your boat starts pounding away on that underconscious reef, chipping at your boat, that is only made of plastic and tar.

Then you pray, you stand up in your tiny rocking boat, and you pray for the almighty to save you, to tear away the hidden anchorlines tying you to the dangerous reef, you elevate into the realm of G-d, and you promise all your might and service to be saved by his grace. You pray and you lift your chin to the creator to call him to descend upon mankind and help and give his blessing to all who see themselves as men. Save the human race from folly and destruction, give us another chance, stop us from burning down Sodom and Gommora, because there are some honest men here, perhaps not perfect, but at least striving for peace, trying to make amends, make ends meet, help instead of just taking, giving instead of just grasping for more power.

We make amends, and we fight he promises, to convince G-d that there is still hope for mankind, and we can make peace, we are not just gruesome IS fighters using blackmail and manipulation to control, not just the secret police severing the loved one of our heroes, not just the sycophants of the media, not just the craven juglers of politics thinking of only their own careers. There is more to mankind, there is love and providence, and beauty, there is fairness and care and healing, there is the helping hand of a man helping his neighbour, there is acceptance and time for our children, there is honesty and solidarity, there is humbleness and understanding.

This is man, not the evil and egoism we see around us, not the warmongers and the power seekers, but the simple honest man. As he extends his hand to make peace.

Make peace, not war, understand on the premises of love and brotherhood not on egoism and selfishness.

G-d said, remember; you are my son.

And I believe that only through the realization of this; that we are all sons of G-d, can we relieve ousrselfs from the chains af the material world. Be in his image, share his benevolence and fairness. Be joyful and happy. We are all the sons and daughters of G-d and we should, for our own sakes remember that.

G-d bless the peace we will find in the end.

If you, once in a while, have the exquisite priviledge to meet the spirit, you must be an oracle. Or what? Maybe being an oracle is about knowing the past, thereby getting an inkling at the future. Maybe it is just the vanity of a too intellectually burdened genius hovering over everybody else, as he uses his abilities to further the providence of man.

It might be either, it might be or, but the effect of the oracleship, the Umin and Thumin, the grace of Delphi is as much shaping the future as predicting it.

Kabbalists are very proud of the late Kabbalist rav Ashlag. He predicted the rise of Israel, he envisioned the coming of peace, he had all the ideas that Israel is thriving on, and should realize, at least as we kabbalists see it.

But, perhaps his genius is not in the fact that he predicted it, but the fact, that he shapes the future according to his will.

I am hard pressed these days. After the fall of the journalists of Hebdo, I have had a wrangling with the secret police here in Denmarks. So far they have been trying to shut us all up, and I have been fighting them, to make space for some of my friends, and to survive myself. The lying, evil KGB of Denmark, seems to shipwrecked on my rocky shore. Falling apart, man and mice leaving the ship tumbling about in the gale, flying about as they lie for their own security.

As a prophet, of all three monotheistic religions I say this; look in the darkness and you see evil. Those who manipulate, try to steer away from the all seeing eye of the overlord of the angels of wrath, they are the darks sons of evil. I know, I look them in the eye, and I do not bow. Not with any weapon of their evil quiver thrown upon me. I do not bow.

And I curse them, they will see their soul rotten in the afterlife, seeping with festering wounds, caught up by infamy and evil as they are brought heavenly justice.

G-d bless the wisdom of old.

We fight on, the prophet of old said, as Jerusalem fell, and the days of Israel was over. We fight on, because one day the hero of the Danes will come and save us, they said, the Ezekiel’s, the Jeremiahs, the prophets of old. Ever since that time, we have awaited the hero to come and free us, and save Israel, and set free mankind, in an everlasting peace frome therein to eternity.

But he has come, several times, and I believe, as a prime scion of the Danes, a halfdane in fact, with a mix of Semitic blood and that that of Danes, that he will always come in times of need. As Matatias, as David, as Solomon, because it is a cultural trait within the descendants of the Danes.

Let me give you a story. Before the Danes came to Israel or rather to the Middle East the first time, we held stories. Stories about a thing called Ragnarok, a time when heaven and earth would fall together in a apocalypse so devastating only the best and brightest came through. We called the hero Shield of the Danes, and we dreamed about his coming.

Still some of our descendants dream about it in a place called Israel. But now they call him the Messiah, but believe him to come from the Danes, or rather him being the shield of the Danes.

Same story, just clothed in a different garment.

I am not the shield of the Danes, I am its backbone and crutch its goalkeeper and bright knight, it’s last dyke and yes, it’s hero.

So I am so much a hero for the Jews as for the Danes, because it is the same story, just understood by different strands of the Danes. Old and new, halfsemitic and only that; Danes.

But to understand the implication, you also have to understand the feel of that shield of the Danes. Call him Holger Danske or Christian the X. You need to know, that when he comes, he will not be a miser or a bullpit fighter. He will be as the shield of the Danes, the heroes of old; bold and free. Laughing and enjoying the fight. Not a miser, not a gothic, destructive person, but a person reveling in the joy of freeing the men earth. A person with so much extra energy, that he will laugh as he enters the fray. That was the feel of the old heroes, and this should be the feel of the new heroes; kjæk and bold.

This leaves us the basic realization, that we can all be heroes, if we wish. We are a culture of heroes. Understood in the sense, that we look for our heroes, and all young men with a certain energy wish to be that hero. We are a culture of worshipping the best of us.

That is why, the Messiah is not the only hero, we can all be heroes if we have what it takes. Why wait for only one? Why not, each and all of us, sit down and look for the hero besides us, and make him be a hero?

We are heroes if we have what it takes, all of us, because this is the meaning of shielding the Danes.

G-d bless the heroes of old.

Well I Ihink we have come a little way in England with the great rennaessance, but we have also confronted our first challenges.

If you are brave, as I truly think his excellency Welby is, then you have to fight the monsters that confront you. If you enter a fight, you have to accept, that you will get hit. That is the way it is with fighting for something, be it physically or intellectually. But the very fact that you do fight, gives everybody around you the feeling that you are alive, and you are moving somewhere.

As I begun my theoretical discussion on the Anglican church, I believe I will repeat it; you are walking on a very fragile shell. You have to be careful not to move too fast or too forceful, you need to remember the discussions and the negotiations is not about your own selfinterest, but in the interest of the world, of mankind, of nature, of the church. You are only the servants of the realm of G-d, if you lose the connection to that inspiration, you will fail. Always pray and listen to the purity of the lord. Hear his voice of healing as well as urge to fight for his realization. Open up to his love and positive inspiration.

It is not about war or power, it is about love. Yes you should have heated discussion, yes you should be focused and believe in many things, but at the end of the day the very project is not the process, it is the aim of harmony and fellowship brought by walking not alone, but with your fellowman in company.

How do you do that? You do it by evolving along the lines of the discussion. We see, that there is a confrontation bethween the church and the Torys, in other words a confrontation between metaphysics and politics.

So we need to understand both theories, how they intermingle, and how they actually support each other. I will give you an example.

When Lot returned to the city of Sodom, he was there all alone in the interest of G-d. He pleaded with G-d that if only one was on his side, in the city of destruction egoism and selfabsorbneds, the city would be preserved. He was run out of the city by the citizens, and G-d destroyed the city.

So what is the point? The point is; to have a city (polis), you need honest men and women. This is the charge of religion; to inspire for honesty, loyalty, sincerety.

So polis (politics) and religion goes hand in hand, and in fact if that is not so, the city will fall.

G-d bless the city of London, Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool and Oxfordshire.

The brave will inherit the World, as we say here in Denmark. In other words, the coward will fall.

We have seen it over and over again. How the brave have ultimately won the wars.

It spells ill for Europe, or at least Central Europe, because it is so filled with cowards, that they fall over each other to cave in to whatever threaten them.

There are, however some good signs. As always, it is France that lead the revolutions. The mix of idealism and a very very high level of intellectualism fuels the revolution. What happens in France right now, will set the pattern for the rest of the conflict. That is why the Charlie Hebdo attack was so important. The countries not directly hit by the onslaught can entertain the idea, that they will not be hit within the close vicinity of their future. But, they will be tought another lesson, and consequently follow in the footsteps of France.

What to look for is bravery, in the situation where people are scared, they will look for the brave to lead them. Manipulation, craven manners or the like will not be popular.

So far, luckily, the progress is along state lines. We have not had many huge violent uprisings. But as I said, this will come, if the states do not listen to the people. It is not a threat, it is a fair warning, and, honestly, being a man of peace, I say it, so that the politicians can change course, and avoid the situation. The seriousity of the situation taken into consideration, shooting the messenger is not a viable solution.

Finally, let me give my sincerest condolations to the lately deciesed king Abdullah. Your eminence tried to make peace, and let us all hope that his son will be a man of peace as well.

G-d bless you all.

If you want to predict the future, you need to know your past. How is the past of Europe? It is a string of revolutions, counterrevolutions, wars, mayehem, deaths and progress.

Through that burning kettle of both ideas and warfare, has the world progressed and made a truly magnificient cultural development, like the Middle East.

This cauldron of ideas has produced; Christianity, Lutheranism, Democracy, Communism, Industrialism, Nazism, Facism, The Roman Empire, The greek Empire, The Freestates, on and on it goes for five thousand years.

And now the leaders have decided they want peace, by seducing the people into shutting up with television and the “Lügenpresse”. Add to this decided to throw in some of the most revolutionary peoples of the Middle East into the mix, who have exactly the same “dynamic” understanding of the world. That is a continuing flux of ideas warring each other.

So what are the chances for peace? Nil, or close to nil.

As I see it, what we can do, is try to steer the process of war and peace into the most peaceful path. Instead of an all encompassing apocalypse we are steering straight towards with the current system, we can make a less painfull process, where we target the problems precisely.

Unfortunately, this view has been the most unpolitically correct, because, in order to understand the most peaceful way, we actually need to understand what is going on.

To the socalled peacemakers of the European Union, this has been against their strategy, where manipulation and misunderstanding has been the tool.

Congratulations mr. president for a beautiful speech, it will be very difficult getting results, but, looking back at the last six years, the projects we have commenced are shaping up, and are realized in true progress. Especially the economical development of the US is a testimony to the fact, that our project is good. Still, realizing peace in the Middle East would, potentially, secure the presidency for the future as a turning point for the US.

Things are heating up in Europe. The islamists are slowly being cloaked off, as the cold war systems lose strength and the war becomes hot.

There are some serious realizations Europe has to do to counter the muslim state ideology. We are talking about a political version of Islam, that seems to be willing to go to any lenght to get their way, and they are many.

When this has finally been realized, one way or the other, we can finally start counterworking their ideas here in Europe, but Bobby Jindal is right, and, I am sorry to say mr. Cameron, you have to suit up, and get ready for the onslaught. London is a hotbed for international islamist recruiting and financing. England as such is on the verge of collapsing under the strain, and the secret police has just begun to dig in the corners. When they realize, that 80 % of the Muslims in the UK are islamists, they will have to come up with some serious problemsolving, and that problemsolving will include the armed forces.

At the same time, happily, the church of England seems to be on the right course, and so in the fight, we still have some positive results of the crackdown on the Islamists. But as Enoch Powell said, it will be rivers of blood.

Better start arming before that fight, ideologically and materially.

Philosophers are not supposed to be politically correct, we are supposed to see and say things other people are not able to. That is why I say; be prepared, the Charlie Hebdo massacre was just the begining, it will escalate.

G-d bless us all, in the face of the war we are entering.

There is a lot of problems in Europe these days, as a prophet of a kind, in the old Jewish mold, I believe, that my predictions have come through, and the path that I have laid out is the path mankind, at least the European kind, is walking. In slow beats, down that path, full of thorns and yet with a bright little star at the end, illuminating our worried and wrinkeld chins.

Mankind will always walk in the shadow of evil, trying with each step, to be a little closer to the light, but the valleys are full of desolation and mediocracy.

Now, as a forethought, I believe, that the European people have chosen my path due to the realization, that if you live in the valley of darkness, true light is the only salvation. Honesty, beauty and love is the only path out of darkness. At the other hand, I believe, that darkness has to be fought. In the study room of Jesus Christ, that wise old Jew, there was this story about the end of times, and how good and evil would stand facing each other in that final Ragnarok, in that final trial of mankind. At the end of my trial, we will see if that is so, if we really stumbled and fought our way through all those dark encounters, where we tried and suffered and lost all, just to regain a little.

But that little is the quality of life, and peace.

Let there be light, the old Jew said, let there be kindness he said, let there be love he said. And all arose to meet him in his embrace, because they thought he was right, and peace finally would descend upon mankind. But then he said; you will have to fight first, fight your own prejudice and frailty, your own enemies.

G-d bless all, who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the poor and the needy, for the right causes, and for beauty, not just for power.

There is an ongoing discussion in England between the Anglican Church and the current prime minister of Great Britain. To try and elevate and understand the discussion in a deeper theoretical sense, I would like to try and build a basis under it.

First of all, the current political policies, that has changed the economical situation of the realm, is coined in a kind of anti free market thinking, with respect of free market thinking. So to really understand the current policies, you have to embrace economics. Economics used to be Keynes against Adam Smith. Keynes defining an incentive policy for mainly the Democratic of Socialdemocratic part of the political sphere, and Adam Smith recommending a free market theory to the conservatives.

This changed in what we know as Obamanomics. A mix of Puritan no nonsense saving policy, and a focused help on the patriotic business and production companies of the nation.

So in a sense, this is actually the very conservative part of the policies that Obama has implemented in the US. It has helped the country tremendously, we are looking at five percent growth per annum. The deeper calculus in this idea has been, apart from the ideas that spurred me in the book where Adam Smith talks about ethics as the base of society, an analysis of the strengths of western culture. We are free and creative. This gives us a clear advantage in the area of research and development. We are very good at inventing things and coming up with new ideas. Exactly the quality we are fighting for in the Hebdo controversy, the freedom to challenge the taboos and realizing new ideas. But, if we redistribute the production of our new ideas to cultures that are often enemies, we will undermine our own strengths, in effect giving our own progress to our enemies. So we need to haul our production facilities back, and put that great mark of our products saying Made in America or Made in England. This idea follows the ideology of the business environment, who are often old fashioned bible thumping, family based dynasties, who are proud of their contribution to the society, and see their mission more as a service to the nation than a money piling business.

We pray for redemption, we understand that the end is near, we relive the destruction of our temples, and yet there is hope for another round of fighting in the phalanx of ligth. Be that hero of justice, of good and spirit.

Yet we concur and take another step, jumping from stepstone to stepstone, trying to survive.

There is good news in the papers today, the spiritual guides seems to whisper. Another redemption, another round in the ring is being prepared, because we have faith. Faith in spirit, and faith in the afterlife.

We know that one day, the almighty father in heaven will relive the mission to us earthbound, in search of his blessing. He will once again stand there with all his might and joy, telling us humble beings, that we will we go forward in his light. Once again is there space for us bening beings at his side. Once again will we believe in him, to turn another page in that long forgotten tale of old. To understand that he be with us, as our crutch, as our hailing and guiding star, as our lighthouse, as our belief in spirit, good and all that is full of joy and love.

Once again will we turn our tired chins to the light, and be warmed in his ligth, to know, that we as people, yes people of the earth will relive his spirit in our tiny hearts, and as these hearts grow in love and kindness, will he, again prowl the earth, and give the humans their blessing.

Once again will we be saved by his grace, because we have found his will and his tender yet strong helping hand. Once again will we rise as men, be humane and gentle, be honest and simple, be disciples of his grace in his gaze. In one with all that is beyond our recogning and understanding. Once again will freedom and honesty reign the earth, as his will is heard beyond the farthest reaches.

May you, my dearest friend be blessed as all are willing to sacrifice humanity in the dirtiest war seen ever.

You can reach an understanding of what it is to be a familyman through recognition of what is really the core conflicts in family life. I have done a lot of work with children at the age of eight to ten. Right now I work as a caretaker of two boys who have a lot of problems, one even is not able to feed, but has to get food through a tube.

Their family is really broken, divorce and so on. What has lead to this extreme situation? It is basically a fight between good and evil in the family. Violence, egoism and abuse.

My little daughter Rakel she is now almost three years old. She has this tendency to try and get her way all the time. So we fight over what she should eat, NO NO CANDY!, and little things as when to leave the table, and be a nice, sharing and loving person. She is only almost three, so this fight with her, to put some moral fibre in her, is normal and just a part of any normal upbringing.

The families where abuse and violence occurs, does not do it this way however. They let the children do whatever they want, and as a consequence, they go wild. They go and do what nature programs us for, the rule of the strong. They start seeing, that getting your way, without regard to a fellowmans wellbeing is in fact fun, you can easily get stronger, and you can enrich yourself at the cost of your neighbor.

This is where evil starts, it starts by people disregarding the very basis of society; that everybody should accept that they are their brothers keeper, and not their thief.

Corruption is always in the dark. Remember, we, from a religious perspective, talk about the angels of light, fighting against the dark lords? What are we talking about, and why are they dark? Because they live of lies, deciet, cunning, and hate, yes they hate the truth.

Let me give you an example. My mother died five years ago. At the same time, my best friends mother died. A few months ago, the father of one of the leading lights of the conservative movement, his father died too. They all died prematurely. Another one of the people in the fight against radical Islam, his wife, died not very long ago, prematurely, mystically. See the picture?

This new occurence, where an islamcritic had his father killed, had some interesting features. Just before his father died, his brand new car was torched. It represented his income, because he works as a tour guide in the summer. So it is an increase in torture and pressure, ending up in killing his father. What do all these incidences have in common? It has in common, that we are all critical towards Islam, from different political perspectives. So it cannot be the left wing killing all the islamcritics.

It all points to the other major player in the persecution of islamcritics in Denmark; the police. They are openly against all who critisize Islam. Numerous times have they, themselves, staged trials to try and quell the criticism. As with my friend Firoozeh, who were convicted a racist, because she criticized Islam as a painter, being a muslim herself!

So, in all probability, the police have been, secretly, killing the supports of the islamcritics, trying to quell the intellectuals.

And now, the politicians are discussing, how to give them more ressources to protect us. Does it make any sense?

Not before the police themselves change their attitude, will the islamcritics be protected.

G-d bless the light of the few remaining prophets.

You know, I never really wanted to be a writer, one day, I just happened to be one. I woke up one morning, with another psychich headache and a strange sense of satisfaction of actually realizing some worth of my life, helping someone, doing a simple chore as a philosopher, doing some good, and I realized I was a writer. It just kind of came.

Being an artist is not fun, in fact I would not recommend it to my worst enemy. Your life is never stable, you always try to get on, and you always worry about your economy. But it is a good life, because you see things. Your friends are even worse bohemes than you. Some live on the streets from time to time. You may think Bukowski, the famous drunk poet, is cool from a distance, but living together with him is a nightmare. But he is a friend nevertheless, and he is alive.

This way of free wheeling and, honestly, very costful for the soceity, life, is what the Islamists and, so far, the guiding Socialdemocrats helped by the secret police, have wanted to stop. To clean out. All these too strange people, with their long dirty hair, yes dirty, as in D.I.R.T.Y., you know unkept and even smelling hair, should be stopped. We do not need them, they show no sensibility. How do we get rid of them? Well, ok, we will leave them without protection, and you can then threaten them all you will. So you KILLED them, why did you do that? Couldnt you just have kept on threatening, why did you have to make them martyrs? That was stupid, now we even have to truly protect them, just to keep the electorate happy. Maybe not that much, but just for the show. But please cant you just stop killing them, it is bad for business, and the dangerous RIGHT WING! Will steal our dwindling electorate bases, please, pretty please.

Well, a few of us have actually survived, and seen the day, when you, yes you, the people actually stood up, and truly supported us. I knew it would be difficult to survive, but I thought if I just kept a comparably low profile, it could work. I could guide the process from behind, and change the course slowly. You know, I know it is presompteous, and probably bad taste. But I did it! I managed to keep all the jackals at bay, keeping the fire lit, and now, after the people have come out in millions to my support, and my fellow artists, the politicians have to support us. The game has been won, it cost me my mother, my sister, most of my friends, my career, but I did it. I did it!

The politicians bargained on the strategy of suppressing everybody, the artists, the journalists, the freethinking spirits, in order to feed the islamists, slowly with our demise. But, the strategy does not work anymore, simply because, you, the electorate, have been too sickened by their devious and disgusting methods. When their plans came to fruition and people actually started dying, you stood up, and defended us. In a strange way, you forced the politicians to move with you, because they were too afraid, or too moved by the event, thereby creating a wave so strong, that all the pickering and fidgeting with the purses of the poor intellectuals, have been swept away.

So this is something to celebrate. Ok, I have not seen a single policeman in my vicinity, ever, not even after the Charlie shooting. The politicians talk about the importance of SYNCHRONIZING THE FLIGHTCHECKS, as if that would really help me. Just one little, teeny weeny camera with an alarmbell at the targets of the islamists, would, in a cold cost benefit analysis, come out a bit cheaper, and MUCH more efficient at keeping the lives of the artists and journalists. But, oh no, that is not really in the plans, keeping flight checks synchronized is probably a much better idea.

But, look at it this way. Untill you start actually doing something serious about it, your voters will slip away. I hold that gun in your face, as you hold your gun into my face. I will take your voters away, untill you actually offer me some protection. Got it? I will take away your job, your prestige, your fine fancy car, your own flying jet, if you do not take that gun away from me, and start aiming at the islamists instead. Got it?

G-d bless the will to survive despite increasing levels of danger.

Ok, so we have had one of the most important failures of the police, ever. Twelve cartoonists have been gunned down in France, and everybody who are intellectuals and criticize Islam is in peril, especially artists and journalists. In Denmark, the police has chosen to work with the Islamists, and leave the artists at their own resources. Often very, very few resources, because we are bohemes most of us, and therefor not able to live very well of our own work. Add to this a great scare of dealing with us, you get the picture. No security at all.

This seems to be all honky dory with the police, still no protection. Well perhaps some, such as the infiltration of EVERBODYS computers. How come that the police seem to be thinking that they REALLY need to know what everybody is thinking and doing, because of security needs off cause. But when it comes to actually protecting the people they have been charged with, then the need seems, all of a sudden, to dissappear. Perhaps because they just really like to know everything, and sit on their flat behinds, taking all the money, living in grand buildings, and then doing absolutely nothing to protect the cartoonists, the bloggers, the writers in harms way. No, rather they seek to shut them up, so that they, again are able to sit on their flat behinds, doing absolutely nothing. Why is it really, they seek to shut up the intellectuals, despite the fact, that this is, specifically what they are charged to do, and payed to do?

It is because it makes their own lifes so much more easy. Just shut up seems to be the point, and then they can go back to drinking coffee, playing chess, or perhaps that is too challenging a game?

It is because they are lazy, are not willing to actually do their jobs, and are afraid of the consequences. Much more easy just try to shut up the intellectuals.

Will someone please do something to this pathetic bunch of people, either sack them or at least put them on a short leash. Or just start all over again, begin from scratch, and rethink security again. Instead of investing huge amounts of resources in high tech surveillance. Which is, honestly, immoral, and against all legal rules. Protect the people in danger! How difficult can it be?

It is just beyond, belief, that the police can get away with being so stupid after the Charlie Hebdo shooting. We are at war! Act like it, or just say goodbye to your well payed job, and do something else. For heavens sake, this is absurd.

In these times, where the basic principle of democracy is opposed to islamism, it is of a vital importance that we unite. The more of us there are, the harder it will be to fight us. If we are few, they have succeeded, if we are many, the fear tactics does not work. So I bring, along with most other newspapers in Denmark, the frontpage of the next issue of Charlie Hebdo. This is a defining moment, Europe is once again able to think for itself, and act accordingly. And, as is also European tradition, it comes in a rush of emotion and revolution! Vive la France!

So finally the political establishment is ready to talk secret police, or just police in regards to the freethinking and often provocative artists, bloggers, journalists, cartoonists and so on.

We are different, I am a liberal conservative, Hedegaard is a liberal marxist, Uwe is a liberal socialist, Jalving is a liberal conservative, Firoozeh is a liberal liberal. We have just one thing very much in common; we are liberals. We are diehard liberals.

We need protection, because we are the kings and queens of democracy. Look at it this way; the guiding principle of a royal house is off cause the ideas of the king or the queen. So an attempt at ridiculing the king or the queen is an attempt on the state as such. In a democracy, the philosophers and different artists who fight for democracy using freedom of speech to criticize and challenge the system, they are the most prestigious and most important. Not because of vanity, but because the embody the good principle of democracy; challenging the taboos to develop the society at large.

So, as the queen is protected in Denmark, by the police, the defense and so on, the liberal artists who challenge the system should be protected the same way. In Denmark we have democratic/royal system. So there are two sets of dignitaries to protect.

What about the politicians. Well off cause they should be protected, but the intellectuals should be protected more, because we draw more fire, literally. Why? Because the enemies of democracy will off cause target the core of the system. It is like in the second world war; killing Hitler would have made the second world war over, or Churchill. It is in this light, that the Charlie Hebdo attack should be seen, and in this light, that the lack of security should be seen. Would the police allow the islamists as close to the queen of Denmark as they let them get close to the cartoonists? Never! The entire policeforce and military would sacrifice themselves before the islamists could get to the queen, as is of cause right and important, since she embodies the principle of the royal house.

In practise however, it is a bit more difficult. Most of us artist are living normal lives, we have children in the kindergarten, jobs that are no always compatible with a high security risk. I have a job as a caretaker of handicapped children, and many of my colleagues are without jobs, simply because it is very difficult to get a job, when the employer runs a very big risk employing you. Some do not care, live on the streets, some are so famous they can live from their art, some go on the dole.

My point is, there are many different situations at hand with liberals who are so diehard, that they are willing to risk everything to criticize, we are an odd, often strange collection of people with very different needs.

In these times of insecurity and yet hope, one may try to understand which way we might chose to create a better world.

According to the philosopher Anaxagoras, G-d chooses the most complex and beautiful way. It is like civilization. Is civilization simple or complex? Civilization is off cause complex, that is why the world needs philosophers, because philosophers reduce the complexity into something understandable. He syntethises many layers of understanding and many variables into complex and yet balanced systems. As democracy in a French variant. It is complex and beautiful; rationality, humanism, freedom of expression, the social contract, the spirit of the laws. Advanced, beautiful thoughts.

This advancement will often have to fight simplicity, or the simple answers. As now with the Islamists. The Islamists believe that a crude and ruthless interpretation of the roots of Islam is the answer. The lure lies in the simplicity. It is easy to understand; the bright, simple way of ridding the world of impurity and leaving only the ethical and sound.

But is it right? No it is wrong, because G-d seeks not simplicity, he seeks the understanding of all the virtues involved, of all the differences, of all the complexities of the world.

Look at the soaring eagle, as it flies above us. Is that a simple creature? No the beauty of that creature lies in the fact, that it is absolutely in tune with its surroundings, it flies in extremely complex patterns, each feather adjusted to the wind and the ability to fly.

This is the way of G-d, and only if we really shed the blindfolds, will we be able to truly accept and be in full connection with the world of G-d.

It is easy to kill and destroy, it is difficult to construct.

Those who do construction are those who are in favor of G-d, otherwise we will not understand the ups and downs of the spiritual realm.

G-d bless the will to build and not to destroy.

Well, it is to me clear, that there are different trends within Europe, one is the pro democratic, antiislamistic trend. It sees human rights tread upon by the muslim militants, and fight to see humanism and good order restored. The other trend is a violent and propagandistic trend, where all criticism against Islam, being the most innocent kind is attacked by all who are state sponsored and the cultural elite. This smacks of totalitarian methods and is most prevalent in the countries that are traditionally unfree.

So you have Sweden, Germany and Holland in one end, and France, Great Britain and Denmark in the other end.

But the two trends are really intermixed in each country. There are elements of persecution of people who defy the islamic conquest, and elements of democracy and freedom as well. These two trends seem to collide on numerous occasions, and this is really what makes us weak. We are fighting ourselves because of our own cowardice. Because this is really what it all is. If we had the courage to look the dragon in the eyes, we would not have the urge to start trampling those who are able to look the dragon in the eyes. We would all look the dragon in the eyes, and see it for what it is.

There is a huge recognition of the failure of the police in the Charlie Hebdo case. Well, seen from a Danish perspective, and truly we are very much in the liberal camp, the police is acting directly against all those who criticize Islam. From me, to my friend Uwe, to Lars Hedegaard, to my friend Firoozeh. We are all totally exposed, the secret police seek to, with different means to force us out of the debate. From using agents to ruin our families, over the Capone method (using the tax system to take our money), to torturing our children. So you want the police to protect us, while they are doing all the can to either kill us or at least stop our voices?

To me this seems to be a bit of a contradiction.

When we are unprotected, off cause this makes it easy to kill us, as has happened numerous times, especially in Holland, and now in France. And do not think it is by coincidence, the police knows everything about security, remember, this is their profession.

I will give you and example. The Danish cartoonist, that made the most prominent drawing of Mohammad with a bomb in his turban, mr. Vestergaard. He was, after that, left without protection in his house. All he had was a kind of a security room. One day a man with an axe simply stepped into his house and started swinging away. By sheer luck, mr. Vestergaard got to the security room, and managed to ring the alarm. So the attacker started trying to force the door open, but was apprehended by the police ten minutes after. TEN MINUTES AFTER! Meanwhile the granddaughter of mr. Vestergaard was crying in the living room. So much for protection.

It had to come didn’t it? The attack on freedom of speech, the sad tales of all the courageous journalists lying in their own blood pools, the callous response to a man lying on the ground claiming to be Muslim, and then shot in cold blood. The fear, the trembling, the realization, that this will never end, until we as a civilization realize what is basically on stake.

Seen from the ivory tower, this was what I knew would come, I warned about it a few days ago, but now when it is here. There is no feeling of “I told you didn’t I”. Just the sad feeling of remorse and the tears that creep to ones eyes, when you think about all those courageous persons continuing on their quest for the freedom of our democracies, of our societies.

To me this is not a time to start pointing fingers. Blaming the stupid politicians creating the situation, or being bitter on the police for not seriously protecting the few remaining die hard intellectuals, or blaming the leftists for being too weak and understanding. This is a time for unity. A time for forgetting all that makes us different, and start remembering what binds us together.

It has two roots. One the Viking, two the Hellenic. The Franks, the Anglosaxons, the Danes, the Germans, the Rus and many more held to the belief, that freethinking was something worth. In our Free States, intellectuals were called by that name in the olden times freethinkers, because this was what intellectuals did; thought out of the box, were critical, challenged the old ideas. This is what has developed us as civilizations, each new generation, building on the former to elevate our societies. For five thousand years has this happened.

The other root is Hellenic. It comes down to Socrates through Voltaire.

When they thought to kill Socrates, because he would not shut up. He, said ok, no problem, I will take that cup of hemlock. I will continue criticizing you, not because of any bad will, but because how are we to grow, if we cannot look our own stupid ideas in the eyes? How are we to be free, if we cannot speak freely? How are we to have democracy, if we are not able to criticize those in power? How? He left this world, in honor of that principle, as all the courageous journalists did. They adored him, and as his children of France, did they give their life for an ideal larger than themselves. They were the best of us, and yet we can only truly honor their deaths by honoring the principles they died for.

This is not a time for internal bickering, this is a time for unity. Unity banded together around the values that our heroes have lived and now died for.

May spirit of freedom be with all the brave journalists of Charlie Hebdo.

In solidarity with at very courageous magazine Charlie Hebdo, I hereby post the same image as caused the outrage.

When Kierkegaard left this world, he had had a long relationship with his chosen bride; Regine. He loved here, with all his heart, for all that he was worth. His weird introvert understanding of things made the proces with which he addressed her, internal. It was about his own inner process, in fact not so much about the woman herself. She waited for him all her life, but had to accept, that he would not come to her.

In the process however, amazing, beautiful philosophy came out of it. Something we can still use today.

According to Kierkegaard in his work Either-Or. you live your life between the material world, the ethical world, and spirit. He kind of saw himself meeting her first on the material world, seducing her, but then after some time, he had ethical qualms about the way they behaved, and ended up trying to find forgiveness for the deed of leaving her.

In the family all three layers are present. The seduction of materialism, the ethics of solidarity and honor, and the love of G-d.

In my view, it is not a process, it is a frame around the family. We have to tackle the lure of materialism, in order to live our lives fully. It is so easy to start working too much, and stop thinking about the family, to the detriment of the unity of all who are in the family. This is the first challenge in family life; finding a balance between too much work, and time for companionship. G-d does not want us to work just to work, but to serve his creation and his ways, that is love.

Well, many may think that blogging philosophy is a fools errand, and it has no impact on the world. I stand to differ. I can see through my work, that making a positive impact on the world is possible, if you are willing to sacrifice, and have the stamina.

Going to Oxford, was a change for me. I come from this aristocrat Danish intellectual family, my forefather founded Vallekilde Højskole, the equivalent to Oxford here in Denmark, and, compared to England, things are run a little different. In Denmark, it is more dynastic, my family has been the leaders, or one of the leaders in culture in many years, including in academics.

In 68, this all changed, old dynasties were becoming outdated and Marxism was all that mattered. Well, it seems to me, that the old values of meritocracy and skill has once more entered the world of intellectualism. Because, yes my family was born with a silver spoon in their mouths and brought up with Plato and the bible, but we used to win our intellectual glory with our deeds, not because we knew someone, or had our political connections in order.

When I tried to get an intellectual career, I failed, in fact I failed miserably. Not because of lack of skill, but because in my mind connections did not matter, skill matters. I worked as an assistant in a school called CBS. Copenhagen Business School. At that time, I wrote a book so beautiful, that it changed the way business looks upon business. But this bought me only sneers and ridicule from the leaders of CBS, and they called me all kinds of things, that still ring in my ear. Two pages in the leading newspaper one of leading scholars of CBS used to smear my work. To this day, it was the death sentence of my academic career in Denmark.

Then I went on in other directions, and using my skill to counter the threat to the Islamists, using my skill to turn the downfall of the West, to try and make a comeback for the churches, for Israel, for Egypt, for the U.S., for Russia. Leaving the academic world to its own miserable and mediocre existence.

In a conflict, there are, usually three types of behaviour in a politically run state. Those who run, those who turn traitors and those who chose to stand and fight.

In a decomposing democratic order as we see it in Europe, there are more traitors than people who chose to stand and fight. As a consequence, what one needs to do to survive an onslaught as the one we are witnessing by the islamists, is a strategy to counter the many, those who wish to flee or are traitors. At the same time enabling those few who are willing to stand and fight.

In the current conflict with the islamists, we see very much the same pattern in Europe as we saw in the second world war. Except for the difference, that there are more turncoats and fewer heroes. England and Britain at large are choosing to fight, Sweden has already surrendered a long time ago. The traitors and turncoats have gained new assets as the European Union, and the liberal press. Add to this both a lingering effect of the Soviet infiltration in the cultural sphere, the secret services, and academia. We have heightened odds against us. Luckily, the enemy; the islamists are much weaker than the Nazis, so all in all the pros and cons are more or less the same as in the second world war, with the same parties on each side.

So what are the added characteristics of the traitors and the heroes. The heroes are the strong, the traitors are the weak. As a consequence we see a lot of women in the traitors camp; teachers, medical personell, the feminine part of the political arena. Make no fault, the reason why so many women are supporting the islamists, is not because they really like them, who would? But because they are traitors and weak. The same goes for the secret police. The reason why they support the islamists is not because they are curropted, yes, they are also curropted, but because they are too weak to counter the threat of the islamists who are threatening them. It is, untill now, much more easy to counter the few leaders who are opposing the islamists. So they go for us, instead of the islamists.

So what would the obvious strategical consequence of this be; to be stronger than the islamists.

The Stalingrad of the Islamists has already been concluded, it was the fall of Morsi and the Moslem Brotherhood. They are now in a much weaker position than before. They have emerged with a bid to rule Iraq, but this is, in many Islamist circles, not that popular, they think it is immature. They would have opted to wait little longer. So, in a sense, the IS, is a sign of desperation. A all on the table bid, to muster strenght and show off the colours. We forced them out in the open sooner than they had anticipated.

Already the show of strenght on our side is turning turncoats our side. After mr. Putin send a few jets of Denmark, threatening to bomb the PET into oblivion, if they did not leave me alone, (thank you very, very much mr. Putin). PET has largely remained on the waiting on my side. Next time, bomb them, they need to be tought a lesson.

Culture is not theories on paper, or ideas made in heads of philosophers. Yes, sometimes we are able to contribute a bit, but culture is the living, vibrant congregation of people. When they live somewhere are happy or sad.

When I was young, my greatest fear would be to settle down, buy a house, get a Volvo. So now I am here. I dream about a house, I have a Volvo, a little wonderful daughter.

But behind that growing need for security, there is always the sincerity of being idealistic, of being young, and believing in something.

Idealism is also about being honest about where we are, and what we do. So, I suppose it is matter of keeping the young together with old, keeping ones idealism, also after the need of security is what you start thinking of.

When I was younger I lived in this amazing place called Vesterbro. It is as vibrant as Liverpool. Full of happy, weird, strong people, who have never given up.

In the last war with the Nazis, the one place that actually did not just give in as everybody else, was my neighborhood Vesterbro. We put up barricades in each end of the main road Istedgade. And the Nazis let us, because they probably thought that that little pocket of resistance was not to bother about.

But we stood our ground at that time. We still do, and all the work I have done, is in service of that spirit. We have this saying in Vesterbro, Istedgade will never surrender.

I am a romantic. I truly believe in the strength of our culture, the fearsome, vibrating, living culture that some seem to want not alive anymore.

After I listened to his excellency bishop Welbys inspiring talk about his life at BBC, there was one song that really got me stuck and started repeating itself in my head. It is so inspiring.

Liverpool is one of those vibrating cities, according to Wellby, well if they are like their anthem, they must be something special.

Looking at the future of Europe, we need to realize the advent of the war with the IS supporters in Europe. Islamic State is very strong in Europe, and if we do not recognize this, we will not be seeing things as they are.

The people who are slaugthering innocent Christians and Yazidis in Iraq will soon do the same in Europe. How are the churches to understand that challenge? By understanding it the same way as the confrontation in Iraq and Syria. By wholeheartedly condemning and speak out against the atrocities, and support all the people who will be suffering from the attacks. Already we have seen numerous unprovoked attacks in Australia, Belgium and France. This is absurd and a crime against humanity. We cannot shirk away from recognizing these attempts on a dominating and inhuman conduct, by succumbing to political correctness.

This is not about all Muslims, a majority in the Middle East defy IS and The Muslim Brotherhood, but it is about those who put the means above the aim. We should wholeheartedly condemn all these terrible actions they do, and put ourselves at the side of the victims.

I remember when I fought for the Copts, one of the things I really found uplifting and even amazing, was the positive view of the Copts. As they faced the most dangerous and possible annihilation of their congregations, what did they do? They went out in the desert, to make a music festival. Started singing and enjoying themselves. This in face of the atrocities and the danger.

After prowling around on the Internet to find some good media sources to tell me what is going on the Anglican church, I finally found church times, which gives me a bit of an insight into the discussions in the church.

It it makes me very happy to see, that his excellency rev. Welby has started a proces to figure out a way to turn the tide of the Anglican church and reverse the development from slow implosion to fruition and growth again. In a sense the entire west hinges on this process, because without a faith that is positive, deep and truly civilizing we will die. In the competition with other faiths, we will wither and die. So in a sense this process is the most pressing and most important that we win.

They say, that a carpenter is never better than his tools. The same can be said about the clerics and their job. The tools that the intellectual philosophers and theologicans mold and make, is the tools of the vicars. So the tools is the most important things to consider. As we have discussed the advent and work with the family, we need to discuss tool like these to be strong again.

I will make it no secret, I have said it before, and I will say it again. We are fighting with our backs against the wall, with our barricades crumbling under us, with ships in need of upgrading and repair, with a country and a people in dire need of our assistance. They have only us, and we must not fail them, otherwise we will not do our duty to those we serve.

It is a very interesting project with the Anglican Church, the more I think about it, the more it makes me see possibilities instead of problems. This may be the crowning project on my career. Usually philosophers have their peak at my age. So, as a servant to spirit, I believe he put me on this world to do this kind of work I am doing; giving inspiration to those who really need a helping hand in their work for G-d. It has to be given freely, and without any constraints and political considerations, so this will be my work. To help, regardless of the pay back in any way. I would really love to come to Oxford again, I truly believe, that the succes of the project rests on a sincere and deep knowledge of the church, in order for my advice to really be precise, but I will help, to my best ability, without any compensation. Because the gift of this, warrants the purety of the work.

I have been praying a lot, to find a course after the tour to Oxford, and this image of his excellency the vicar of Canterbury keeps popping up in my prayers. So this is a sign, as I see it, for the work to come. And looking at the need, it seems to me, that the need is really there.

Looking at the issues, I think it is a good idea to lift oneself up a bit, and have a look at England in a historical context. It was an island with a magical people, then it turned into a second Rome, now it is a demoralized and sulking husk of a fallen empire, with a longing for the magic.

So we need to combine these two things, the magic and the empire. Magic is revelation and redemption, a miracle one could say. The empire is still there, and needs a turning in terms of realization.

Have a look at Rome and how it came from a political, juristical and religious empire, and ended as a purely religious empire, but with law and politics as a basic point of religion.

I have been thinking a lot about the situation in England and the advent of the Anglican Church. I believe, that the odds are stacked against the Anglicans and redemption is almost impossible, but if we stick together and make a very careful development of the basic virtues of the church, we still have a good chance of turning the tide. But, it will be extremely difficult.

First of all, you need to help me as well. If I am to really support a comeback of the Anglican Church, I need a place or an office somewhere in England, preferably Oxford, and a good connection to the local clericals. Mr. Brian Mountford, the Vicar of st. Marys could be such a person, a skilled, intelligent and good man, that I really like.

Especially in the beginning, we need to be extremely careful. The overall structure of the church is in need of repair, and we are looking at a possible breakdown of the entire church, so rocking the boat too much, might just tip the scales.

The basic challenge of the Anglican church is the very structure of the church. Englishmen prefer to be free, and this attitude creates a much more individual character of the church as such. At the other hand, if a balance is reached between freedom and cooperation, it could heal the wounds that are already there. In other words, a new structure that gives the right amount of freedom and the right amount of responsability towards the motherchurch is needed. The work however has to be done very carefully and without making any more negative feelings within the church. What the Anglican motherchurch can supply in this process, is wisdom. Create a source of new ideas and replenish the toolbox of the vicars, so that they feel that Cantebury helps and it makes sense to stay in communion.

We are entering the last two years of the presidency of mr. Barack Obama. I believe the greatest part of the first part of the tenure was the rebounding of the economy. It has been done mainly by reducing the cost of the military, while exerting influence through diplomacy. If and hopefully we wil conclude this, the Iran deal materializes, this approach has served two functions; one to regain footing economically after the two expensive wars by mr. George Bush, secondly to truly make a better impression of American power through soft power. This works, today America is much more positively looked upon than before. Thanks to mr. Obamas handling of politics.

Add to this a pro American production policy, where patriotic companies are rewarded, the US has just had a comeback as a world power. It was in decline, but mr. Barack Obama just saved the US, as promised.

So now there is time for some internal community building, and building bridges. I have an idea, that I have discussed a little with a wise scholar that I met at Oxford. He is a republican, but one that leans to the middle. He is a man of the church, and a descendant of Danes. I like him, and he likes me. So we have been discussing the pro and cons, and I introduced my idea of helping and supporting the family as a good project. We both agreed, that in order to bridge the aile, we need some positive project that both sides support. After all the violence in Ferguson, and all the negative impact this has on the peace of mind of Americans, perhaps it was time to work on something that brought people together instead of making people come away.

Now, looking at the process of the catholic church that has been through the same proces, I think it is of a vital importance not to focus too much on the gay rights issue. I like gays, they are often a persecuted minority in society, but the issue raises too much animosity between left and right, and what we need to work on now, is something we all agree about. So what about making it just better to be a family in the US? Doing all the small things that makes is eaiser to make ends meet? Looking at housing, so that a family can afford a small house, strengthening the local community, so that the families have somewhere to go in times of need. Looking at the children and pull a few strings to make them having a better school or a better opportunity to do work for the local elderly. Make possible for the grandparents to help their grandsons and granddaughter. Make room for love in the close connection between man, woman, child, grandparent, sibling, cousin, aunt.

This will not only strengthen the families, but also, in the long run, strenghten America as a community itself, not to mention perhaps healing some of the rifts that has come inbetween the Republicans and the Catholic church.

G-d bless America and may he find peace.

I have a feeling, that many Jews are genuinly worried, that I am not truly a Jew, that I am only a soul Jew or whatever you call it. Come on, would I have defended Israel and all the Jews here in Europe, if it had not been for my Jewish history?

I will tell you where it comes from. My great grandmother on my mothers side was a refugee in Denmark, she was ferried over the small strait of Oeresund in the wake of all the Jewish persecutions in 1943. She was fleeing because she had helped Jews out of Germany, and was very vocal in the defence of Jews here in Denmark.

Her daughter Rigmor was her favourite daughter, and Rigmors daughter Sigrid, my mother was the favourite daughter of Rigmor. So the defence of Jews went from daughter to daughter in three or four generations.

This is why I care about Jews and Israel. Whenever I meet Jews who want to have some money from me, because of this or that, who are arrogant, because of this of and that. This image of my grandmother fleeing the Nazi persecution stands in my mind.

You are my family, and it has nothing to do with politics or ambition on my side. I simply chose to stand and support the Jews, because this is what my grandmother, and great grandmother did in the same situation.

I have this ability, that to scientific inquiry is hard to falsify. But I can always feel what people feel. Especially when it is some feeling they have of me. A kind of a sixth sense in a way. I use it very much in politics to get an indication of the impact I have when I write something. I have noticed, that all Jews have this sixth sense. It manifests itself in the ongoing feuds Jews have with enemies of the Jewish people or Israel. Jews generally are a very intuitive people. We use our sense of people around us to navigate.
