From the beginning The United States of America have been on a winning course, the resilience and the staunch opponence to all that would wish to take freedom and justice from the world, is a course of peace. It has been, and it should always be so.
Now, the Great country of the Bold and the Free have worked its philosophy around another corner, going from one war to another to keep the faith in the values it was founded on as a child of the third European renaissance. The values of the French revolution and the values of the Anglo Saxons; the belief in Democracy and the rule of law as the basis of a nation.
In the past few years, I have, as a token of friendship and a recognition of the common cause we work upon, done all I had the energy and the time I could to help the beauty of that renaissance Capital of the world.
This is a strange occurrence. Face it; I am a persecuted and vilified philosopher here in Denmark, I have the secret police on my heels, and my economic fortunes are all but desolate. I hustle by, from day-to-day, to feed my family and make some secure borders around their existence.
This way the honest but persecuted philosopher is once again making his mark on the world. As in the French revolution. This is the secret behind the allegiance that has come by so seamless. I never really did anything to tailor my ideas, it just fitted.
I believe it is because Europe is on the verge of another renaissance. Or at least, this is my objective. I hope to remake the world of the European Nations into what it was before the two world wars, and before the destruction of the European Union.
This is a kind of a closed circle that Europe always seem to redo; renaissance, destruction, renaissance, destruction. Thing is; America never lost the last renaissance, so now when Europe is entering a new renaissance, America is all ears, and is fed an relived by the organic energy that flows from the great outburst of change that Europe is entering in some corners.

In a way the ongoing discussion regarding the power of the Arabs and the Arab world, is a last stand for the Arabs. A thousand years ago, the mighty jihadis of the Arab peninsula really conquered the world. The recipe was holy war, that bread a vicious and extremely effective war machine. It conquered Mesopotamia, Persia, India, Northern Africa and penetrated deep into Asia.
But the fortunes of war has receded from the holy warriors; new more agile opponents have emerged; first Europe, then the Americas, the China, then Russia. New opponents with new methods.
To make a last stand, the Saudis, the Qataris, the Arabs in general have been bestowed with great wealth through oil richness. This has been used, very carefully, to expand the reach of the Arabs. The Arabs now have supporters all over the world, especially in Europe are the prospects good. Countries like Sweden and England have already travelled far down the path of Arab hegemony. But, due to a resilient and powerful America, the fortunes have faltered, and the Islamists have been pushed back.

The very ancient homelands of the Christians; Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria are these days in the most evil of circumstances; the people there are persecuted, vilified, their daughters are raped, and they are easy prey.
This is the homeland of a beautiful culture, and their faith is all in our hands. They are totally without the means as to defend themself, and they have only one single glimmer of hope; that we in the West recognize their destiny, and help them.
We should do that, if there is any meaning in the ideas of a human being on the side of the light.
Their destiny is largely ignored in the Western press, and they are therefore not really anything we discuss, this despite the fact that we are deeply involved in the countries; economically, militarily and diplomatically. What does it make of a core of meaning if we ignore some of the worst possibly nightmares of persecution and theft of human rights?
It does not make any sense. We often live in our own little bubble here in the West, the terror and the nightmares other people experience is not really on our radar, we prefer to live our easy lives and disregard the suffering of the friends we really have.
Now, as I see it, both the Vatican state, Russia and the US should support the hapless and victimized Christian minorities in the Maghreb. It can be done in many ways, diplomatically, militarily, putting pressure on the involved states and support he right leaders.

Looking at the lay-out of the European culture, there is no doubt, that the faith in spirit is weak. There are a few glimpses here and there, but basically, the faith in spirit is weakening.
This leaves a huge hole in the mindset of the Europeans, it is filled with drugs, television, drinking and the worse. The material world swallows the individual as they are empty husks.
Some people never realize, that there is such a thing as spirit, and are living in the life as strangers of everybody, sleepwalking from day-to-day, not knowing themselves.
The Christian church must fight to fill this void, it has to be ingenious, as architects of G-d. Use all means necessary to carry people out of their misery and into the spiritual world.
It is extremely difficult these days, where people are forcefed emptiness, and few believe in anything anymore, but as the leading church of Europa and beyond, it has to shed all its timidness, all the “perhapses” and the “maybes”, and simply start the fight here and now.
Start the enlightening of the world, and give people the opportunity to love again.
We are all so poor in the realm of spirit, that everybody really hungers, even people who do not know it, and therefore we need a new system of churches to open the gates of spirit.
G-d bless the Vatican Church.
I believe, that the progress of the American lead initiative in the Middle East is going quite well. I really am sorry for Israel, having to excuse themselves for the Marvi Marmara raid. I would personally have had a hard time doing it, not at least as a rejection for the fighters who actually boarded the ship, but also as a dishonourable thing for Israel in general.
But in the interest of peace, we do many things to come around, and the relationship between Mr. Netanyahu and Mr. Obama is crucial to a peaceful solution to the Middle East I believe.
So, honour is not always the most important, sometimes peace is more important.
Anyway, thank you for the free hand in regards to the defense of Israel, and we will see how things fare. But one thing is certain, we are closer to a peaceful Middle East now than before, and that is a good thing for all of us.
G-d bless the peace we strife to find, and G-d bless the Americans and the Israelis in friendship.
When Rome started, it was a small tribe living in the vicinity of Etruria. Etruria was a strange civilisation, that had come from somewhere in the mediterranean. Even today we are not really clear about the original traces of the Etruscan civilisation, it was just there all of a sudden.
Rome was built on the basis of Etruscan beliefs, still, deep down at the very basis of the Palatine hill, there is a circular structure; the first temple in the history of the Romans.
Now, many, many things have happened after the first Romans started their journey towards the hegemony of most of the world, but as a starting point, I believe the deepest spiritual ideas should be understood in order to give the Roman church a renaissance. A structure, be it physical or spiritual, is a slowly evolving entity that will only be lead, if you really understand it.
Now, the Etruscans had a strange vision of the world. They thought, that you could copy the world of spirit in the material world. They thought, that the world of spirit was extremely well structured, and they had a map. This map, they rebuilt in the material world. Therefor, the Etruscan cities were all absolutely alike in their basic plan, and therefore were the armies of Rome always camping in a total replica of their original cities.

The Roman church of the catholics is an institution of an ancient mold. Really it is the inheritor of the Roman Republic that defined the European continent from about 200 BC to 3-400 AC.
This system is not what you see and understand if you look at it superficially, it is deep, ancient, its institutions are deeply molded in traditions and there are many misdeeds done in the old times, as well as victories won thousands of years ago.
Now it is to be renewed, but, as I see it, it should be renewed with respect to the traditions.
The core of any religion or at least any monotheistic religion, must look at its roots to be reignited. A system should never just begin from scratch, because the basic principles are really built into the very core of the institution. But the principles should always be understood in the reality we face today.
What is the most radical change the world has met these last ten to twenty years? The advent of the internet. The internet is a huge challenge to all who are trying to hide something. As the Palestinians and their use of the press as a tool of lying, as the EU where all the decisions used to be unknown to the public, and also to the Vatican, where secrets held behind closed doors appear in the public, lately in the form of what we know as Vatileaks. Secrets of the Vatican state made public.
Now, I do not share the urge to confront the Vatican, in fact, I really wish the state of Rome to prosper and spread the words of spirit. But I do think any institution should address the challenges that the internet and the transparency it gives to the world, on a sound basis.
We need to make a new progressive strategy as a response to the challenge we meet. Instead of seeing it as a problem, we should see it as a prodding to do something better.

The American party called the Republicans are really in a dire straits, the loss to Mr. Barack Obama really threw them into cold water, and they are now lingering on the edge of the abyss, at least that is how it feels I suppose. The game is upped tremendously, with new ideas flowing in from Europe, at the world is changing rapidly.
Now, as a true philosopher of a Danish mould, where our philosophers try to give a solid common basis, I suppose I have a bit of a difficult feeling with the Republicans, basically because, both sides of the constituency should work to make any progress.
Now, I am the friend of Barack Obama, so I cannot severe that friendship, we are in this together as should friend, through darkness and light. But, there are other friends, that I have had through my work as a philosopher. One of them Mr. Anders Gravers who is a dear friend to, among other Pamela Geller. We have worked on a more sincere and tough stance on Islamism, seen from a democratic point of view. Perhaps this is something that would inspire the Republicans?

Congratulations Mr. Bergoglio with your new appointment as the head of the Catholic church, it is both a burden, and a huge challenge. We are so hard pressed we men of spirit, that it is like a fight uphill for all that we do, but there are sure signs of recovery.
The world changes, and one of the basic virtues of European culture is the fact, that we, as a culture are changing with the new realities around us. As Northern America has done now, as Russia is doing, as the Vatican church has been doing over the years, in the face of new obstacles to peace and the brotherhood of man.
I salute you, but I also know, that the burden you have put on your tried shoulders is huge. There is a huge crisis within the church itself, sectarian strife, internal disagreement and the lack of a common goal. This issue has to be settled first. Let the Curia know, that there is only one cause of any serious discussion; the mission of the unselfish, the path to redemption through sacrifice and not as an agent of a sectarian party. We need to shed the internal strife, and look at the world around us, the church of saint Peter must grip its own internal mission; to be honest, loving, caring. To be the champion of the poor, to help those who are in harm’s way, not to fight internally.

The world has come to a turning point, and a very important of that. The deals that have been forged between the leading states of Europe together with The US and Russia creates a whole new state in itself, or at least a cooperative entity that is much larger and much more powerful than anything seen before on earth. The combined resources far outweighs any of its competitors.
It will be extremely interesting to see the effect of the Iranian peace deal in the next ten to twenty years. It will remake the history mankind.
Already some of the players that have been diligently playing on the antagonisms of the East vs. the West are in a bit of a trouble, we see it with North Korea, and soon with the Moslem Brotherhood. That is good for the world at large.
But, there is a huge but. Israel really lost in the negotiations. The deal that was cut with Iran was near to catastrophic for Israel. All the red lines, and the rhetoric, all the actions against Iran are all leading towards a nuclear free Iran, not an Iran with the near capabilities of making true atomic warheads. It is a huge loss of political capital Israel see these days.

Sometimes, when you take a decision, you do not know what is at the end of the choice you have made. When I first entered politics as a philosopher in the Danish political group SIAD. Stop Islamization of Denmark, I was a mere novice. Just another wannabe, a man of a lot of words and very little skill. But I was on a mission, I had walked the Camino, the path in northern Spain, and as they say; your path starts not on the road, but when you leave it.
So it was for me, when I walked my pilgrimage, the mission I had acquired was to confront Islam on an intellectual level. So I stood there at the first meeting, wavered my very first book that had nothing to do with politics, and the concurrent events propelled me, virtually onto the world stage to the place where I am now; as a leading philosopher of my day, with all what that implies of honour and influence.
But there was a secret starting point, that is still covered in the mists of my first work at SIAD. Together; Anders and I wrote a book. I did most of the work, but a lot of the priorities and strategical ideas we worked on together. It was a new philosophy, that combines critique of Islam with the renaissance of democracy.
It conquered the world, and is still the basic paradigm we use when we see the conflicts we have with Islam at large. We differ between muslims and Islamists, the latter being the enemies of democracy.

We are these days trying to envision a solution to the Egyptian crisis. First of all, we made that crisis because we promised the Egyptian population something better, the end of the road so far, has been to the worse. The possible take over of a hard-core Islamist government and constitution, is not what we fought for in the Libyan conflict or inspired to in the Arab spring first country Tunisia.
The Arabs wanted more freedom, a better life a more prosperous future for their kids, as we have here in the West.
Well, some things have improved, but for sure, if we do not take care, it would all possibly end up in a Islamist controlled Maghreb filled with enemies of the West, that would be a grave mistake, and make the world at large much more dangerous.
How do we actually find our footing in this quagmire, that is threatening to tear the upper part of the African continent apart?

We are entering a huge conflict between hopefully peacefulminded people, but most probably not. In this conflict we have to be sure, that our actions are as well founded in serious philosophy.
Theoprastus whom I read such a beautiful book of, has another gem of insight I would love to share with you guys here at the blog. As you may remember, he believed and argued the point that there is something good in nature, and it is the goal of all human beings to try to be in that spot, and not in the world at large where evil reigns.
He argues, that G-d in fact is not that strong in the sense, that he cannot directly change things on earth. His argument is like this; everything in nature and in fact everywhere is governed by cause and effect. What you do will have an effect on something, his again will be the cause to some other effect. In this way everything we do is not done in a vacuum, but in an unending chain of cause and effect. So, if G-d could really alter everything he would then alter all causes and effects, and that is almost impossible, and not seen.

Well, approaching the oncoming election of Egypt, we are indeed in a difficult situation. The Moslem Brotherhood, whom we ourselves put in the position, are aiming for a complete takeover of Egypt Iranian style. Yes, they will sugar coat it with elements of democracy, but it will basically be just for the show, not in earnest. The Moslem Brotherhood was conceived as a brainchild of the philosopher Qutb, and he made it as an antagonist enemy organisation against the West, and the US especially. This is the reality. They may say otherwise, but we should be realistic in our approach to the Brothers, they are our enemies.
Taking this perspective into account, we can see, that a neutral approach to Egypt simply does not make any sense. Everybody in Egypt knows that the Moslem Brotherhood are trying to fool us, so if we do not acknowledge this, they will see us as fools.
On the other hand, we should be realistic with the real power we have in Egypt. This power lies in the connection we have with the army. They are the only ones who have any loyalty to us in earnest. Then there are the secular Cairo and the Copts. But both parties are very weak i terms of organisation, this their problem.
Taking a more historical view on the issue, as when it comes to plan ahead, we must also realize, that an armed Islamist Egypt will be a potential new Iran, we do not wish this to happen, it would be too dangerous for the world at large.

Egypt is an amazing country, unfortunately I have only had the opportunity to read about the country and its history, and have never been there. But to be honest, Egypt is one of my favourite countries of the world.
I have read the description of Herodotus, the most important scriptures of classical Egypt, delved into the ideas of the heretic pharaoh. The pharaoh that inspired the first jewish scholars to envision monotheism, as it is proposed. So on and so forth.
Today egypt is a shadow of its former glory. The main part of the muslim community dreams about tearing down the pyramids, and the Moslem Brotherhood are scheming and trying to implement a sharia state behind the curtains.
It is a mess. On top of this we have the Copts, one of the most religious and beautiful churches in the world, persecuted locally and in harm’s way most of the time.
In this complete mess, we as the West have a great say, because basically we are the money men behind most of the Egyptian economy. Yes, some may see it as blood money for the peace between Egypt and Israel, but really, if we, as the West just decided to redraw the funding, Egypt would be bankrupt in a very short time.

The church of Rome is old, at least as old as the conclusion of the Roman Empire, but taking into consideration, that the Christian Faith is a construction that encompass the ideas of Isis and Mithra, you could say, that the church is as old as Egypt, Persia and Canaan itself.
The lore is deep, and it is a conjunction of many philosophical ideas and institutions, and it is, in a nice way thriving in many places around the world. However, there is a but, and that is the basic challenge, that in the very core of Rome; the Vatican state, Italy and most of Western Europe, the very idea that G-d is a living entity is scorned upon. This creates a very dangerous situation where all the Christian Churches both the church of Rome, but also the church of England, Denmark, Sweden, Holland and many churches of different kinds are in a existential threat as Kierkegaard would have put it. It is the core that is in danger.
Now according to Empedocles the ancient greek philosopher, nature develops in a contracting and expanding manner. Nature is an orb, on the fringes of the orb is strive, in the center is love. In a peaceful time the entire orb is filled with love, but in times of strife it is filled with conflict.
It is an expanding and contracting thing. However, according to Empedochles, the very moment the entire orb is filled with strife, the very core of love, will define the coming reign of love. This is now, or at least the last few years have been defining in this regard. What one needs to look for is the core of the Western world that still fights for love, because this core will be the defining factor for many years to come.
Now, one should be dishonest if he did not acknowledge the war that is coming. It is like that, the world cannot carry all the inhabitants it has created. We, man, is like plague on the environment of earth. It will end in conflict, no matter how we try to understand it. The lines of the conflict is basically what we are working on now. Who will be allied when the war will erupt?
The geostratical lines are almost in place, thanks to a diligent and enlightened leadership of Mr. Barack Obama, and lately in personated by Mr. John Kerry. The old war is over, new will soon fill the void.

There is a farewell I have to make, of a dear friend. I realize, that we have not been on speaking foot for some time now. I have often wondered as to why. I believe it is a move away from the discussion of Islam. But who knows, I hope it is not, because in the fight against Islam lies the salvation of the faith. Not to understand it in the sense, that it is a holy fight to eradicate all Islam, not at all. But it is a fight to restore the Christian faith, and that only will happen if we realize the very basic principles of the day of today.
Now, I have strayed a lot, and been in trouble, it is the effect of misery and desolation, of loss and loneliness. I believe I have done many things wrong, and that I could have done many things in a much better way. But I do also believe, that my heart has always been set on the deeds of goodness. I have always tried to follow the path of light despite all the troubles that the harbingers of darkness have thrown in my path.
I remember, before i realized the jewish nature of my own creed, I went on a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. Over mountains, into valleys, taking one step at a time, and finding my own path in the end. They say at the Camino, that the path to Santiago starts after you reach the final church. The path I have chosen has been one to oppose Islam. I admit it, and I belive it was the calling of spirit, because that was the conclusion of my Camino.
Now, we all have our own Caminos, and I just wish to hail the spiritual work done by the late Mr. Aloisius Ratzinger, Benedict XVI, I know, that when you took up the mantel of your predecessor, you wished to do good. I know, the projects you had, was to amend and forgive. I know, because in the beginning we stood side by side, changing the world into something better. The most important, I think, was the outstretched hand to the jews. We stretched out our hands to make peace. This gesture never really reached the jews in its importance and symbolic meaning. Listen. Mr. Ratzinger was a Hitler Jugend and an antisemite as young. After the war, he changed course, and he put the final crown on his work as an act of repentance to the jews. He gave us the support of the most important Christian church on earth. On top of this, he has worked together with Ms. Angela Merkel, a devout Protestant, and in conjunction they have asked for forgiveness.

The price for the criticism of Islam is always high. Lately an unidentified gunman blew a shot on Lars Hedegaard. Yes, we have had our controversies, or perhaps you could call it rivalry, but hey, he did defend himself boldly, and I do respect that.
Talking about the criticism of Islam, the Freestate, the book that lie as a foundation under SIAD and other closely inspired groups to that is almost translated halfway. I must say, after returning to the book, after all it has been three fours years back I wrote it, I am thrilled to publish it. On one hand it is a beautiful promise of a democratic society based on both our traditions as ancient viking democrats, and then also based on the most advanced greek philosophy. It is Holger Danske meets Socrates. Add to this a blistering critique of Islam, and you have a serious underpinning of all the pro democratic anti islamic youth organizations. It’s for you guys, I have bled for it, now you can take it and put it to good use.
I will publish it in the summer, it takes a while to rewrite it and it has to go through grammatical correction. I am not a native English speaker, so I suppose it will have to do with my meagre skill in English.
But basically, it will give you a huge boost, I hope. It will give the political wing methods to use, and the guys something to believe in.
God bless the spirit of freedom.
Now, talking about metaphysics, we should try to expand the definition we already have. Remember, the essence of spirit is, according to Anaxagoras; intelligence everywhere.
The interesting point, that has spooked me, and I have tried to dig into, is the relationship between the real world as we know it, and spirit. I mean, there is a way that spirit interacts with matter. So, how is that? Reading Arthur Canon Doyle (the author of Sherlock Holmes) and his interest for spiritual communication, led me to the hypothesis, that there is a direct connection possible with spirit through prayer and what we define as a media.
In other words, it is possible to discuss with your ancestors and other people who are deceased. But, these ideas are basically absolutely unscientific, and are only based on the experience of individual persons, who were often persecuted and vilified, gnostics of a modern industrialized world.
Anyway, with a deep respect for the followers of mediation, I have turned around a little, and returned to philosophy, to try to dig up some answers there.
I stumbled upon a very wise book by the greek philosopher Theophrastus, who wrote a very distinct and extremely interesting book called Metaphysics. Theophrastus was the pupil of Aristotle, so he is the product of Anaxagoras, Plato, Aristotle. He is not at the same level as Aristotle, Plato and Anaxagoras, but he is a eminent commenter on his predecessors, and he reflects on the ideas that are prevalent in his time. A time of great discussion and progress.

It seems to me, that the situation in Egypt is really reaching its climax, as I can read the news from Egypt, the islamic take over of government did not really work out as the Islamic Brotherhood expected. They have now a control not only on their own paramilitary forces of Salafi died hards, but also a part of the national security system. The army seems to have abstained from interfering in the conflict due to the direct orders of the American administration not to intervene.
Meanwhile the citizens of Egypt, especially the pro democratic forces as well as the christians are feeling the heavy hand of the Islamist; repeated breakdown on demonstrations, burnings of churches, abduction of girls. Well you know the drill. Not as violent as disgusting as in Mali, but where is the difference really? It is basically in the pressure we put on them from the West not to do too much human rights violation. Anyway it is disgusting.
Now, with an imminent breakthrough with the Shiite Iran, I really hope we can get to the next issues at hand. The Sunni/Wahhabi extremist, Al Qaeda, and their friends in the Moslem Brotherhood.

The life of the Defense Leagues and the friends we have en France has been a life of trouble. Especially in England have the system done all it could to halt the progress of our mission. Now, here in Denmark it is a bit of the same, I have the honour of the Stasi tracking my every waking second for the last four to five years. They try to hinder this and that. But basically they are themselves very hard pressed, because the mission they are engaging is beyond the frame of the justice system. Persecution of philosophers are not exactly something the founding fathers of our system really thought would be an issue, in fact they did all they could to put up barriers against the police, to prevent this situation to happen, lucky us or me.
Now, I have stayed away from European politics for a while. I have been too busy with the Middle East, the East and the West, and honestly I had to lay a little low, because the police were hot in my heels, but things are lightening up a little now, so I have embarked on a project I hope will give you guys some progress, from the skills of my hands.

When we talk about a renaissance, there are many examples in the past. There is the French renaissance, there is the Italian renaissance and I might add the 12´th century church renaissance.
The core of a renaissance is the philosopher. But usually not a traditional academic theorists as we have today, but a free, usually rebellious thinker, that harks back in time, and yet sees and gives ideas for the future.
One good example of that is the philosopher Voltaire, who had to flee France in his days. We also have the intellectuals behind the Russian revolution and so on and so forth.
Now, being myself a philosopher, I realize that the role you have as a renewer of the culture has all to do about culture, and very little to do about the academic institutions. My friends are artists and intellectuals outside the established institutions. In fact the established institutions have done all they could to fight me down, it has gone to some extreme extents over the years. If we look a little on Holland, well there Pim Fortuyn was a politician/philosopher, and he got killed along with his good friend Theo van Gogh.
So basically the progress of a revolution is not progress that is in the chambers of society, but outside.

Rebuilding America is a daunting task, to try to serve you guys. I have tried to figure out a way to start the process. Honestly, it is a very difficult process.
Basically what you guys need is more than just a superficial process, it should be a lasting process that involves most Americans. Usually a renaissance is about refinding the values and the organizations methods of the ancients. This is a way America could do it. The basic system of America with its democratic organization, the enlightenment ideas, the dreams of new frontiers are good and lasting principles. But how to make people believe them again?
There are some ideas to start with. First of all, it is about education. We need an education reform, that put focus on the basic ideas of the nation again. This could be a first step in nation building, who are better to work with than the young generation?
Give them a top-notch education, but not only do focus on the curriculum, also do focus on all the traditions of the state, all the songs, all the poetry that inspires, all the stories of the ancients that did good deeds and heroic work on the frontier.
Then there is another reflection you might use. America has seen unbroken progress through the entire existence of America. This is the normal state of things. It is all about new frontiers and new things to do and expand.

The depth of Russia is like a clear lake with no bottom. You try to see what is beneath the gentle waves, but you look and you look and you look. Yet, there are several trends and depths that you can see, but not has been seen for millenia. When proud warriors in their longships embarked to reach the land with the many colours. We called it Miklagard, we somehow settled in between.
We were the veterans and the must trusted liege of the Byzantine emperors, somehow the Rus still are. We fought for them, and they gave us colourful robes, gold and wealth in return. Why not? Were we not the most hardened warriors in the world? Yes we were. Now the birthland of the Rus was run over, still this is a bit of a wound to most Danes and Scandinavians in general. Yes, there are many who have forgotten, but most still remember the proud kinsmen prowling the rivers to reach Miklagard.
The ties were severed, and the Rus were off on their own hand. England and Denmark has always retained many ties, so is it with Iceland, Holland, Scotland, Greenland, and further on in America and beyond.
Now the first philosopher of Denmark, and my spiritual predecessor through my jewish family Grundtvig had a dream. He dreamt that all the descendants of the Danes were to be united under one spiritual star. Not necessarily a state, but a cultural bond that would give us all a basis we could work from. This is the reason I have tried to support all you guys who came from us; to pursue the dream of Grundtvig. It is a huge task, and I know that I am not perfect at it at all times, but hey, I do not get a penny for it, and I do it as a repentance of what we should have done long ago, and are now trying; to get in contact again.

We are to welcome another face on the international scene. It is one with a tremendous experience as when it comes to foreign policy, and a shrewd person on top of this. The new Secretary of state Mr. John Kerry.
Being a veteran diplomat and servant of his country, he will hopefully bring a host of intelligence and progress to the international peace process. This is the hope of the president Mr. Barack Obama, and off cause the hope of all responsible citizens of the world.
It is a tremendously difficult job to do; the negotiations are extremely hard, the stakes are extremely high, and the work consist of a huge load of traveling hours and extra work in the evening and even nights.
Now, we say goodbye to Mrs. Clinton, thank you. It was very difficult, we made some mistakes, but we have had a lot of victories as well. The defining moment off cause was the Arab Spring, that really did change the way the world is ticking. It now spills of into Mali, and our Arab friends are not really that trustworthy, but nevertheless, the increased dialogue with Russia, the possibility to make a peace treaty with Iran, and the relative peace Israel has had in the last few years, are some of the results of our labour. I hope you are in a place where you are happy now, and the future will bring you a lot of interesting work and you an option to work for a more peaceful world. G-ds speed 🙂
Now, Mr. Kerry. Please do not take this as a negative or demanding explanation. We all respect you very much, you have a long history of service to your country, and the experience you bring to the international theatre is extremely appreciated. So these are just an analysis for your convenience, not demands or anything like it.

We often wonder what we should do about love. What are the reasons why? What are the definitions? And how do we really understand the basic ideology of love?
First of all, I believe, that to understand love, we need to understand how the world is constructed. As mentioned before, G-d is the natural force, that is unseen and lies between all matter. It is in between everything, and around everything. As we are born, according to the theory of Anaxagoras, what happen, is an infusion of G-d into our world. We are all just flickers of G-d, yet we are not in understanding of this.
The thing is, when we are in our bodies, here on earth, we are isolated, and the connection we felt before with everything around us, is gone. On a deep level of understanding, we still miss that feeling of connectedness we used to feel from before we were born. That is loneliness.
Now, we try to leave the loneliness and reach out for other parts of life. This we can do in the embrace of nature, or in the eyes of our loved ones.

We often try to understand what it is to be a serious jew. We also bear the burden of a long story of victories in the sphere of humanity; Abraham, Moses, David; all the heroes and prophets that today are icons to the human race.
Now, the good thing about this, is the fact that, we are extremely respected by a huge part of humanity. There are even people who talk about philosemitism. That is a kind of deification of jews. The bad thing about the position is that many people, especially people who do not wish to life up to their own ideals, tend to try to fight us down. That is commonly what we call antisemitism.
Now to be realistic, we cannot, as jews, all be the next Messiah. It is simply not possible, most of us must stay a simple person, go to work, earn our living and contribute the best we can to society and the wellbeing of man. Off cause all of us can partake in the state of Israel, and send good blessing, try to support the best we can, and all that. But we are not, any of us, the next Messiah, yes of cause one of will be ultimately, but untill that day, we just have to strive for perfection the best we can.
Now, I often wonder why I do not use all my talents and the resources I have, just for my own sake. I mean, if i chose, I could steal, manipulate and create a nice easy living for myself. I never have had the motive for that, and I think I know why. It is because in my family there are several heroes of their time. My father who was a hero of the liberation war in his country, and my great, great grandfather who used and sacrificed his life to help the life and spirit of the Danish society. He was the Messiah of his time.

Dear Barack Obama. A heartful congratulations from Europe and specifically Denmark with your new presidency. You risked it all, and won with a clear victory. It is worth the sagas and the stories we are to tell our grandchildren. Me myself, I was absolutely exhausted after the fight. I hope you felt a bit better.
Anyway, I hope you feel that your friends were there for you in the times of danger, and we all wish you all the best in the next tenure.
I do not prescribe any medications to the United States of America unless it is founded in the deepest and most serious philosophy. I do not do it win you over, or have political capital in the bank. Yes, it helps sometimes, but really my aim has been to give you another fighting chance, now you have it, use it wisely.
First of all, be careful not to fray any relations with the conservative base. One thing is the political in fights you have with conservative politicians, another thing is the grassroots of the Texans. These two things are completely different. The one is a fluctuating and compromising adversary, the other is just plain normal people who are fighting, as everybody else, when it comes to a living and pride in their own lives. They lost this time, and they lost big. They put all the best into the fight, and still we won. That is a great unmotivating thing. They need the benefit of the loving and accepting part in ourselves. Reach out for them. Not in Washington, not in the aisles of power, but where they are themselves. Travel to their most sacred part, and talk to them with humility.
This is not about winning, this is about creating another fighting chance for America.

I am trying to learn Hebrew through my own means. You know, people often tell you to do this or that, but really, to use your own creative way is often the best.
I realized, that the best way to understand a culture, is to understand its roots. The deepest roots of Judaism comes with a man called Abraham, he was from a Mesopotamian city called Ur, and later emigrated to Babylon. Ah, that makes sense I thought, that is why the basis of the jewish script; Hebrew has its counterpart called Assyrian, because really the origin of Hebrew must have been Assyrian somehow.
It started with the rebel Abraham, who fought for the wellbeing of a nation. He did not know, that at this time, we define him as the father of all nations.
The problem with the nation is not that it is filled with racist bigots, the problem of the nation is that it creates immoral behavior, at least that was what happened to Babylon, where Abraham lived his life, ant tried to use as a stepping stone for the creed of nations.

The very core of the monotheistic religions share one central outset; the bright yet, at that time, immature ideas of the Egyptian pharaoh Akhentaten. He was an introvert and yet amazing luminary of his time, he actually invented the monotheistic religions.
Many people of Islam does not know this today, and many jews neither, because it was dug up by christians but yet unfurled into society through one jew; Freud.
Anyway it is complicated, but let me explain.
When Akhentaten lived, Egypt was at its height. It was uncontested among nations of its time, yes there were the cities of the Euphrates, but still, only in Egypt did they, in Akhentatens time, seek to build vast complexes as the labyrinths and the pyramids. It was a time where we, as mankind took amazing steps forward into the known and unknown world.
To really understand Akhentaten, we therefore have to understand both the written sources as well as the archeological sources. The written sources, that is mainly hermeticism, is the most rich in terms of understanding what it was the Egyptians wanted, but the archeological sources are the most precise.

We define ourselves without the idea of a self. This is a great problem, when it comes to the understanding of what it is to be a jew. We usually see through our scriptures, and define the axioms and our belief on ancient scrolls and insight veiled under the thick carpets of time. We do not see the ideas we are imbued with as an external force, but as an internal force.
This is our problem. We do not see the issues ahead as something we must, as the carriers of ancient wisdom, with impunity and humbleness, carry forth. We see all that came from “our” faith, and see ourselves as the chosen people of G-d. This is our downfall.
We need to see our own faith as it is; a collection of wisdom, given to us as keepers, to convey to the rest of mankind, as humble servants of the ancient ideas. We believe we are chosen, and we believe we are better than other people, this is wrong, because only if we see ourselves as less than other people, will we really be better than other.

The best is the worst. The best development of the world right now happens in Europe. A numerous plenitude of new ideas, new trends and new ways of doing things is a result of the growing discomfort with the absurd immigration policy of The European Union.
The worst is really the European Union, it was all highlighted at the absurd party where the unionists attended an already forgotten acquisition of the Nobel peace price.
Here in Denmark we say, that you only put medals on fools, because the real heroes are always working against the stream, so, as a consequence they never get a medal. Well, I know the feeling, when Lars Hedegaard got a medal for an absurd show hypocrisy, I really did dig that feeling.
Anyway. Let us have a piercing look on the monster that the bureaucrats of Bruxelles have built in the demolished city. So proud of its legacy as the main capital of the Flemish, so broken as a symbol, that almost no trace of the spirit is left. Only a few places, a hero here and there and a stubborn focus on liberty.
Anyway. In that broken city, rules a collaboration of bureaucrats. They are beyond the reach of the people, and as moles, they try to hide all their decisions off the radar of the Peoples of Europe.

In order to change the current development of Iran into something more of a positive trend. Here is a quite basic advice, with the deep respect given to iran.
Basically, the most amazing and best contribution the proud, complex and wise Persian civilization gave to the world, is the concept of goodness.
Zoroaster invented the idea, and consequently gave it on to the entire humanity. The idea is so basic we do not really think about it anymore. On top of this, it has found its way into almost all philosophies and religions.
Zoroaster gave this to us all.
Defining goodness is off cause an ardoruos task, and not something we should deal with lightly, but there is one place, and one person I as a jew know is of some relevance to the question.
Please let me explain. When Judaism was coined all these thousands of years ago, it was not just by coincidence, but through great prophets and illuminators. One of them, perhaps the most basic of them all, was the prophet Abraham.
To understand my forefather, you have to understand the world he lived in. He was a citizen of the fabled polis Babylon. A city still held in awe by most of humanity. At least all monotheistic religions. A city situated a few hundred kilometres south of Iran.
This city was the archcity of all nations. Sprawling over a vast territory by the standards of the time, a place for invention and experimentation. Here most of what we today coin as civilization, was invented.
The most prominent citizen of Babylon is off cause Abraham. He lived there at a time, when Babylon was a mess. Nobody could really relate to each other, and through a cacophonic environment came the ideas of Abraham.

We need to understand the basic power structure behind the scenes of the Iranian government to really make a deal with the Iranians. And we have to show them the basic decency of respect in terms of allegiance. The result of the negotiation should be a renewed and more prosperous Iran, and a friend won.
There are many faults of Iran, among them a huge and destructive secret service that kills the citizens if they are not willing to comply with the central power. But there are also a lot of strengths and good things about Iran.
Basically Iran reflects the people of Iran, the people of a noble culture, and that is the real potential Iran has. The Cosmocrator G-d was called once in Iran, so it should reflect its being today again. Being so, it will propel Iran into a more prosperous future.
Let me explain.
The term Cosmocrator is really a Zoroastrian term. In the original Persian faith, G-d was believed to be everywhere, ruling everything. This is a much more sound reflection of what spirit really is, that the stale and fixed idea of G-d that is in much of the current Arabian inspired Sharia ruling.
G-d is not an almighty being that decrees this or that. G-d is a permeating and living thing that is everywhere.
If you realize this, you also realize, that G-d will change his or her idea of the future based on what will happen on earth. G-d is a living thing with the ability to understand, realize, analyze and conclude on specific things in the world. It is everywhere, and hence is a part in everything.
This realization must fall back on the way we rule our world. Since the goodness of the world is changing, our laws must change with it. This is where the democratic ideal comes into play. Because how can we understand the perspective of G-d, if we do not honestly dig into the situation, and find the goodness in that? We cannot, we have to be able to talk about it.

In a further reflection of the possible relationship between matter and spirit, we might endeavor into a discussion of how spirit reflects matter. According to the classical greek philosopher Theophrastus you can see a relationship between the spiritual realm and the material realm as a line of thought, an argument. He cites Plato, and defines his relationship as a kind of layered structure. At the top we find the ideas, beneath that we find mathematics, beneath that the application of mathematics, and then matter.
I belive there is an element of truth in that, but I do not believe, as Plato and Theophrastus, that the spiritual realm is only mathematics and ideas. In fact, I am more in the line of Animaxander, the teacher of Plato, who believes that the spiritual realm is a natural force, what we call intelligence.
Now, in the time of Aristotle there was a lot of discussion of what really moved the world. Aristotle talks about the “primal mover”. A mover that, in itself is not moving. How could that make sense? Well, if you see intelligence as the primal mover, it makes sense. Intelligence itself does not move itself, but it moves things.
The primal mover is intelligence.
With this realization, we can further understand the realm of spirit. What is the actual process of light and life on earth? It is the infusion of intelligence into matter. Intelligence is what makes us divine.
When we lose our intelligence, we die. We may still grow hair or some other autonomous bodily function will continue to work, but death is the loss of intelligence. So life itself is G-d.

Egypt, is not just Egypt. There are many faces of Egypt, the modern, the classic, the ancient and the true.
When we try to understand Egypt today, in the light of the persecution of the Copts, we have to realize the traditions and the history of the people of Egypt.
You know, this country gave us so much, and we are still in the process of understanding the tenets of the classical egyptian lore. It has flown through so many channels; science, I mean, in many ways Egypt invented mathematics and geometry, if you do not believe this, have a look at the pyramids, and see their perfect geometrical shape. Freemasonry, the core of Europe and beyond. Freemasonry can trace its roots through the crusaders, the Platonists, the hermetist and the Pythagoreans. The magic, the mathematical truth behind the principles of the world, the spirituality, it came from unknown temples of Egypt that Pythagoras studied in, and gave on to, among others Plato. Then there is humanism, another Egyptian faith. The enlightenment, the statue of liberty is a reflection of the first monotheistic religion of the Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten. Psychology is inspired by Egypt through Freud and Jung. Then there is the Christian religion and Judaism. Both owe so much to the lightbringers of Egypt; the monastery as idea, the very core of faith that see the mother Mary as a reflection of Isis, and Jesus as a reflection of Osiris. In Judaism, there is the believe in light, as learned when we were living in Egypt.
All these ideas, and this tradition, has a son, or perhaps a daughter, she is called Coptic. Really it comes from Egyptos, and today we call it Copts, but really we should just call them Egyptians, real Egyptians.
You know, through history, I have followed that people through many of its torments. It really began with the Greeks, after Alexander conquered Egypt, the descendants of one of his generals; Ptolemy basically just abused the Egyptians. Yes, in many ways the Ptolemyan state was illustrious. Remember, this was when Alexandria, the most illustrious city of modern Egypt was founded. Hellenic culture was mixed with Egyptian culture, and gave us hermeticism, from the greek god Hermes, that was a reflection of the Egyptian god Thoth.
But, the abusement the Greeks did to the Egyptians. They just streamlined the system that was already there, and maximized the profit, so they could build the lighthouse of Alexandria, the famous library and other items of Hellenic/egyptian civilization. But the desperation, the famine, and the loss of honour the Egyptians felt at that occasion is the first real humiliation they suffered of so many. Then came the Romans. The Romans were a lot better, not so greedy as the Greeks. The Romans actually gave the Egyptians a faith; Christendom, that sheltered the Egyptians against the onslaught of the Arabs.

We do strive to make an exemplary path in life, as Rene Descartes so rightfully says, it is about service and not help. Well, whatever you call it here at Rubicon, no one can claim either any control of anything, or a direct relation of dependence. All is given freely, to anyone who wish to either learn or share.
We are trapped in matter, and a truly spiritual journey is to free all who are trapped. Yes, we may do this by ourselves, or we may not. If we as prophets or whatever it is called, do not give humankind the possibility to be free from matter, it will be much more difficult. At the other hand, René is right, you cannot free someone if they do not wish to be free. So it is only an offer, not a demand.
That said, I have followed the developments of Egypt closely these last few days. There is no doubt, that the development of that country moving in the wrong direction.
It is quite obvious. We have a beautiful part of the society; mainly the Coptic christians, who are, by all measure humble, wise and strong in the faith of spirit. On the other hand we have the Muslim Brotherhood, who paves a way for direct assault, rape and even worse actions.

When we come to the problem, or the discussion of Syria, we are indeed in a deeply troubled situation. There is, however, a small glimpse of hope. Please let med explain.
The major obstacle for peace in the Middle East has been the antagonism between the US/Israel and Iran. This has fueled numerous conflicts over the entire region. Among them the ongoing Gaza conflict.
The situation is off cause much more complex than that, but basically the conflict between the Iranian bloque and the Israelean bloque has followed cold war lines.
Now, with the good and hopefully fruitfull discussion between Iran and the US, there are hopes of peace and understanding. The Iranians are understanding, that hate and agression is not really the way to reach spirit. You reach spirit through love, not hate.
The positive collaboration will potentially spill over into the Syrian conflict. Because if the Iranian conflict is solved trough dialogue and collaboration, the Syrian conflict potentially have the same possible working method. We could build on the succes of the negotiations between the US and Iran in Syria.

To truly turn the wheels around, as we are called to do, if we want to do a work for a better world, we will have to realize the true foe of the enlightened. There are those who hide in darkness, and those who live in light.
As it is said in our scriptures, there will be a day when the sons of light will confront the sons of darkness. In between the valiant fighters and the crippled but rather strong antagonists, lie a vast field. On this field are small crevices, little streams, hills to climb, and soon to this field all who truly believe in spirit, will have to travel.
Some are jews, but a lot are not. There is space for all who wish to fight along the sons of light, as there are many of a truly international character, who wish to fight in the phalanx of darkness.
Light and dark are two metaphors, one for truth and another for lie. Who are those, who stand in the stream of international consciousness, and do fight, with their bare hands and nothing but their minds, for the bright light that will turn even the most evil of characters away? Who are those, who are persecuted by the system, because they talk against tyranny and opression? Who are those, who fight straighbacked against the lies, the corruption and the evil of the massmedia, as they are strangled by the secret police? Who are those? They are the true sons of light. The vast minority, persecuted by the mass, hanged by the dark priests, known by many, and yet a secret to most. They are the fighters for a better day, for a brighter morning, and for peace. For only through light will we obtain peace.
Now, there has been a lot of talk about the problems of Persia. Some of them are right, others are wrong. Ahmadinejad was, and is a foe of darkness, he prefers the cloaks of secret to his machinations. In this respect he was an antagonist of light. But the Persians have understood, that they are not just the club of spirit, and there are others who might wish to understand the way of spirit, and might even see, that there are dephts that they did not understand, but now they do, they are in agreement.

It is often difficult to understand what is right and wrong in situations, sometimes what seem wrong in one situation, will be right in another situation. This is the problem of perspective, there is however one remedy to that problem, and that is dialogue. If we are able to understand the opposite perspective, we might seek peace. This is the wisdom of Plato in his work Theatetus, the work that inspired Aristotle in his work Analytics, the founding book of science as we understand it today.
The wisdom is still true today, but we might also add, that hathred and prejudice often clouds the rationality we need to engage in dialogue, and this is the most common motivation for war.
There is huge problem with Scandinavia these days, and as usual, jews are the problem. Some think that they are a nuisance to the world, others, most jews, just see the new mix of antizionism/antisemitism as another piece of hatemongering. That is correct when jews are attacked as when they were attacked in the synagogue in Malmø, and numerous other inncidents in the daily life of Scandinavia.
You could discuss the issues of the West Bank, and obviously there are many perspectives on this discussion. But the pogroms initiated by people filled with hate and absurd conspiracy theories are not a part of the West Bank but, and this we have to admit and act upon, a part of a new face of antisemitism. It is the new Nazism of Europe, a strange mix of liberalism and the most virulent antisemitism spawned by the extreme haters of the followers of the dark lord, the fallen prince, the Satan.

I am reliving a horrendous toothache, yesterday I had a tooth redrawn from my upper Jaw. So these words on the two state solution is a bit influenced by my lack of concentration, so I hope, dear reader, you will take this into consideration as you read on.
First of all, I believe that the whole idea about a two state solution is a bit outdated. There are many differences between the different bits of the intended state. Obviously the West Bank do not seem to be interested in a control shared with the Gaza district. On top of this, there are huge different interests in the Golan heights and the Temple Mount. Would anyone really consider it a wise move to let Hamas rule the Temple Mount? I really doubt it with the Nazi infested ideology, they would probably just make a mess out of it, as they have done everything else they do. Then should Egypt control the Temple Mount? No that would not be tolerable to anybody else but the Egyptians and perhaps Hamas.
My point is, to make a viable solution to all the territories and holy sites that are in discussion in the two state solution, you will have to look at them individually. Each problem should be solved by all in unison making a solution everybody can agree about.
Then there is another problem with the discussions, a state solution should at least include the voice of the people living in the area. When the United States of America was founded the people had their voices heard in the amendments. This is why it works so well, all had a say. There are huge differences in interests between the Gazans and the West Bank, so a solution would be different in each case. On top of this a West Bank territorial independence combined with a organizational control in communion with Gaza would be really a two state solution, that is one: Gaza, two: The West Bank. This construction simply does not work, and would probably just end up as two states anyway.

We are entering a new phase in the war, we have to realize, that the enemy is not the Palestinians, they are nobody people really care about, they only represent the antagonists of who people really care about; us.
So the greatest enemy is not the outside enemy, but the inside enemy, the enemy of our own petty ambition, violence and territorial gain. Our own dark side, the satan within. We all have it, but if we, as the chosen people succumb to evil and corruption we are punished the most. This is what the conflict in the vicinity of Israel is all about; the dark side of the jews. If people see it, they will react in unison in rejection.
Now these words are easily said and difficult to realize, because to realize them, we have to understand the world, and understand ourselves. First the world.
We are living in a strange world, where we have enemies and friends intermingled. Some, or rather all of our friends have friends who are our enemies. The most simple principal categorization is like this; we are friends with the christians, and enemies with the muslims. I know this is a crude and simple definition, but we need to boil it down to be able to maneuver the world. The most dominant christian countries are the United States of America and Russia. One being the dominant protestant country, the other being the dominant orthodox country. Then there is the Vatican church that represents the catholics. These are all friends, and they try to help us the best they can, but only, and that is the difficult part, if we fulfill the expectations. In plain english, fulfilling the expectations is basically doing as we are told to do in the Torah.
They expect us to be the light of the nations, that is; help the nations, carry them forward, support them in their crisis situations, save them when they are in trouble, inspire them to keep faith in the principles of our shared belief. Only if we do this will we be granted the respect we need to have to survive.

Well, I had the dubious honor to fight down the Republicans in the election of America. They seem to be in a havoc of distress.
I am truly sorry, and really I see this more as an extremely impressive comeback of the liberal party rather that a fault of the Republicans. Really, Barack Obama is extremely competent, and after this election and the numerous victories he has had, he will be a legendary president, he will not only save the country, he will also save the liberal perspective, by leaning more to the right.
The positive parts of the conservative project is exactly what he has made a part of his project, or rather many of the basic virtues of the liberals have a direct connection to the conservative values, and these he has stressed; the civil rights, the fight for democracy and freedom, the patriotism, the faith in America. Really basically these virtues are conservative, but now a central part of liberalism with Mr. Barack Obama at the helm.
Theoretically and politically philosophically it is the right thing to do in crisis situation like the one we are in. So it is all good and talking America in the right direction. You see, my task as a platonic philosopher is to give the politicians means and ideas in this crisis situation. You could say that I am the immune system of democracy. At least that is as Plato envisioned it in his famous work “The Republic” and the idea, that the philosophers are supposed to be the guardians of democracy, especially in a situation where the democratic institutions are under attack of corruption. Moral corruption a sometimes economical corruption. At least this is how I see it, and how Plato saw it, and I might add, that he was quite clear about the price a philosopher pays in such a situation; persecution and vilification, as Socrates, as Anaxagoras, and he was right.
Anyway, I have thought quite a bit over a possible new strategy for the Republicans, and here are some reflections, I feel a owe you guys, so this is my way to pay repentance.

The days of peace is more or less over, now we are really confronting a conflict of extreme hazard.
First of all, we need to play the game in a manner that will ensure the peace in the most unconflicting way. If we play the Goliath, we will not win on the long run. It is only if we play the game with intelligence and agility that we will win.
I thought I had a few days to recover after the American election, well, I did not, I should have payed more attention to the crisis in the Middle East, not on my family. But, as things unfurl, we are bound to win, if we are playing the game as the best chess master there is.
Now, look at it this way:
If we lose the media game, we lose. It is as simple as that. Since the media are already inclined to mistrust us, if we do make small misstep, it is a game of balance and just the right move at the right time. Compared to the election fight I just did with Barack Obama, it is much more complicated, since there are many more players, but also offers a great opportunity to the intelligent player, since the mere complexity gives the player with the best grasp of the situation the best opportunity to win. Mind you, the game of the American election was a tough one, but tough in another way than what is coming. The American election was tough because it was against the tide of misconception and inertia. This one is tough because it is so physically dangerous. People get killed all the time, and in that situation it is very difficult to keep a level view of the fight.
Ok, here are some reflections that might boost us in the right direction.
First of all, there is one giant danger; we are in the danger of loosing Russia. They are inclined in the direction of the “palestinians”, and they are playing a role as mediators and kingmakers.

We are entering a new phase in the war against Israel, after the American election, the game has been stepped up. First of all, we have to look upon the dynamics of the war. It is not simple, but a game of feints, counterfeints, and strategy.
The antagonists we have right now are mainly two, as I can cipher it through the media; Qatar and Iran. They each sponsor a band of people in the Gaza strip with money, weapons and so on.
That has to be stopped, we cannot continue the barrage of missiles from the Gaza strip. It has to be done in a civilized manner, but it has no justification in any way. The setup is continuing because the so-called “Palestinians” are just the physical end of a political process elsewhere, they are hired mercenaries in a way, prostituting themselves for the highest bidder.They try to see themselves as heroes and warriors of justice, but if you do not fight for a just cause (killing civilians is not a just cause), you are just a kind of mercenary doing it for your living.

Another phase in the eternal wheel of antisemitism. Here we go again, we know that it will continue over and over again. This time just in another clothing.
We have done the extreme stupid mistake to look for antisemitism and racism for too long in the wrong direction. Hitler was both a socialist and a nationalist. In a way he combined right and left of his time. But due to a complete dominance of the left in the early seventies and eighties, somehow the look for antisemitism and racism was focused on the right, that is, in American terms the conservative part of the political life.
During this phase however, a new breed of racism, antisemitism and hathred against minorities has brewed and grown strong in the liberal camp.
It has all come a peek, and hopefully a peek, and not just a small step up on a ladder that will continue to lure liberals to its escalation.
We need to look at the practical reality of today.
The infamous mayor of Copenhagen, exactly the same mayor who arranged the islamfest at 9/11 has grown bolder, and is now attacking the local jewry.
At a socalled “multicultural” fest in a citycounty called Nørrebro in Copenhagen, she did all she could to exclude the jews. The story is now rolling in the media.
The situation is like this. The citycouncil wanted to “integrate” the local muslims in the citycouncil and beyond. So it threw a lavish party for the citizens of Nørrebro. Nørrebro is a living area for islamist and the hard core communists.

When we look upon the theatre of the world, we are forced to accept the simple fact; things are difficult, and getting worse. The warring factions are stepping up their game, the peaceful faction are forced to fight, if we wish to keep the peace that is currently in most of the world.
The main antagonist right now of the West is not a single enemy, but a network of antagonist, that we have to tackle in this or that fashion, to ensure that the war that is threatening to engulf the world, is stalled or at least minimized in danger.
Good things have happened though. The United States of America has a leader of a proven and respected career in terms of peacekeeping. So this is a good thing, the rest is more or less just havoc and chaos. There is one little light in the dark, and it rests at the palm of my friend Barack Obama.
Ok, as usual, I will try to analyze the situation, to help my friend and all else who might listen to what I write.
First of all, a new foe has entered the fray; Quatar. Quatar has secretly sponsored the islamists of Gaza, and according to Debka.com, the moves against the West has been going on for some time. They have moved from an ally the United States of America to a independent islamist player. Mind you, this is one of the richest countries in the world, so it has some clout.
They are now playing the Middle East game as a newcomer; too bold, too rash and they will eventually become an easy target for whoever wish to take them down. They do not play the game on an advanced level.
Add to this the unsolved conflict with Iran and an ongoing and simmering conflict with Russia, we are at a tipping point. In the centre of the conflicts lie Israel that has to bear the brunt of the attacks. Three civilians killed in the latest Hamas attack, it is simply disgusting.

America now has the opportunity to learn from history. What is the problem? The problem is a divided country, people fight from republicans to liberal to socialist to libertarians. Nobody knows the true direction.
There are examples of such a situation in history, and perhaps we can learn from that.
The most obvious example is the example of the fightings between Rome and Phoenicia. Rome was, at the time, a new state with an expanding circle of influence. There were many established states, but the most established at the time of 200 BC, were the Phoenicians. It was a truly remarkable culture, we owe it so much; our classical architecture, our writing, algebra, and many other items of our current civilization.
But the newcomer and the established powers clashed first over Sardinia, then over the hegemony of the sea. Phoenicia had amazing ships with an impressive maneuverability and three rows, sometimes even more of oars to each side.
At the outset of the conflict the Phoenicians did not think much of the obnoxious Roman, they saw the, rightfully so, as primitive and crude. They were, by all measures, much more advanced and skilled in most spheres.
But the conflicts continued, and at a certain point the Phoenicians send one of their superior generals and a hired army to confront the irritating Romans.
I did not work very well, the Romans chased them around, after all, the soldiers were not Phoenicians, but hired mercenaries doing the job for a penny or two.

It seems to me, that the victory I crafted together with Mr. Barack Obama has the immediate result as a major crisis within the conservative part of the American constituency.
This I am truly sorry to have done. I am an outsider, and basically it is not my job to help anybody in the american election. My friend Barack Obama asked me kindly to do it, so I off cause did that, after all the things we have been through together. But, it was not in a partisan way. A philosopher in a Danish context is supposed to support all, and be a bridge builder not a divider.
So, to try to lift you guys out of your thinking in crisis terms, a good start would be to understand why Barack Obama won. Seen from my perspective, it was because he focused on an ideological path. He stood up for freedom of speech, solidarity, his friends in the workers union. He brought Osama Bin Laden to justice, and he tried to bring peace to the Middle East. So he fought, and still fights for his ideals. This is basic fallback plan of any American politician, or any American at all, because, America is based on these values; the bright soldiers of light.

It is of a utmoast importance, that you use the momentum you gained in the election, do not sleep on the laurels. One very pressing issue is the relationship to the Russians. In the beginning of the first term, they were very optimistic about the restart of the relationship you tried to give them and America combined. The relationship was improved but was soured over the issue of Poland. Poland vies for the alliance of America, because they are living in the shadow of Russia, or you could say, that there are certain memories of conquest that the Polish people are still remembering.
It might be right, it might be wrong, but one thing is certain, as long as the relationship between Russia and Poland is still in the deepfreezer, progress of peace between United States of America and Russia will be hampered. It needs to be tackled in an elegant and a warm and peaceful way. The relationship should be encouraged over lines of dialogue and peaceful cooperation.
The best thing would be if the Russian byzantine church and the Catholic church could exchange diplomatic discussions and symbolic invitations. The situation today is really improved from the time of communism, and the churches understand each other. It is time to heal wounds, and forgive.
An initiative in this direction would be a work of peace.
G-d bless the importance of forgiveness and love.
