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.
From when we first put our longboats into the sea, have we been traders. Traders of fur, traders of coin, traders of commerce. Time has honed this skill to an almost perfect method containing transactions through immensely advanced systems of computing, satellite controlled navigation and radio transferred pay. But it all started with that longboat with its dragonhead at the front to steer through waters of wrath to our star navigated destination. We are sailors first, clad in the eternal robe of industry and tradesmanship.
When did it actually reach a point where we did break some of our ancient lore of commerce? I think it was when we were industrialized. I am an avid fan of the greatest writer in English; Joseph Conrad. His tales and yarns are crafted and based on the knowledge of the old ways of sailing. In one of his works he tells a story about the change that led to where we are today, and the price we did pay.
It is about a man of sea. His whole life he had roamed the seven stormbruised seas of the world. His all movements were a testimony to the rolling and the skimming of the boats, he walked in a rapid fashion, suited to move on deck. Gliding and stepping as a dancer on a backlit stage of ballet.
Now, the sailor had to get ashore, and leave the proud vessel propelled by the wind of the earth, because he was forced. He went to the shed where they register the seamen when they leave their ships, leaving not a name, but a simple cross, because he had no skill in writing.

When you win, a good sign that it is a just and serious victory, is the fact that it does not feel like you have beaten someone, or crushed someone. If you feel like you have had a serious contest with an able and intelligent adversary, someone you truly respect for his ideals and his fighting style, then it is a good victory. It is a victory that spells of collaboration and cooperation.
I congratulate you both. Barack for winning a reelection of his ideas, and Romney for the bold words of working together crossing the aisle to rebuild, to put away all the antagonistic feelings and start the healing process.
Mitt, if I may call you that. Listen, there is nothing wrong with your ideas, on the contrary, they are sound and the best what could happen to the Republicans. Conservatism is about the principles of faith. As a man of faith, you are in the best position to turn around the party and give them new inspiration, it is easy, just follow your own heart, and you have a path.
Joe Biden. According to my prophesy book, you are the next president after Barack. This does not include a sure winning, but it does point to your strengths. You have a good chance in the next election.
Finally Barack Obama. You know, from the outset of the journey we have made, from the first tactical decisions in the Libya war, over all the fighting in the election, every time I saw that burdened look in your eyes, I truly tried to give you all that love and hugging I could. We did win another victory. But, there are so many difficulties to overcome yet. If I avoid to be put on the cross here in Denmark, I will be at your side, for no money, for no profit in terms of honour and attention, just to save my home, your home and the bright dreams of our kids .
G-d bless America, and all who believe in love and spirit.
To understand the progression of the jewish state, we need to adress the institutions we need to erect to make the state whole again. An institution I believe we should reinitiate is the jewish oracles Umin and Thummin. A greater part of the prophesies we still believe in today was created by Umin and Thummin. You can see it, or rather hear it in the tone of voice of the prophesies. The apocalyptic ideas, the worldspanning quests cannot just derive from a small individual, or a prophet it must have come from an institution. That institution was in the center of the first temple.
Now, we do not know whether we are allowed to raise the third temple, but we do know, that in order to be as succesful as possible we need to gain ground. We have done so, not much, but enough to rest much more in peace than what we did already.
A significant move would be to have another or renewed prophetical institution in Israel.
I can help with this, if Israel allows me to do so, because I have figured out, more or less, what prophesy really is.
Let me explain.
G-d or spirit is a natural power, like gravity or electricity. It surrounds us, and penetrate all matter. When we come to be, we encapsulate a tiny fragment of that power, and introduce it into matter. It is intelligence we get. Because G-d is just that; intelligence that we float around in, and we can both reach in birth and through divination in life.

To really understand the corruption of the Danish state these days, one has to see how the mechanisms work. We have had a bit of a revelation of the corrupt system when the PET or local STASI actually held a small islamistfest on the 11/9. Because one thing is the participation of the secret police another thing is the endorsement of the politicians.
The fest was actually programmed like this:
The minister of integration, a socialdemocrat would, along with the secret police and the local integration mayor host the meeting. That is, at the outset it was planned as a highlevel show, not only of the police, but also of the political administration. The insult was therefore not intended just by the police, but, with the attendance of the highest office of Denmark, a minister, as a fullblown official statement, supporting the Iranian Mullahs, the Pakistani islamists and the local islamist franchise. It was a show of allegiance.
Add to this the persecution of most critical voices critizising the allegiance between islamists and the government. That is not just public debate, but the use of secret police, courts and other means to silence the critizisers of Islam, we have a semi islamist state on our hands.

Going through the last few weeks of combat, there is one thing you have to focus one; speaking. All the other items of fencing can be left to other of your good staff. You just have to hit the trail and speak. Every convention will land you extremely vital voters for the election, this is the closest election in years, each and every vote counts. And you can swing them by talking to them directly. Give them some of that soaring rhetorics, you can do it, it is the final moment, hit the trail!
G-d bless you.
It is extremely difficult to do any serious work in terms of cultural development here in Denmark. The main problem is, without any doubt the creeping Islamization of the cultural sphere. It is as though, if you have some kind of muslim name, you are on the gravy train. I know it from my own experience. My original name was Asger Hussain-Engberg from my father. My sister still have the same name. When we worked together in the theater business some years ago, she had a huge success, not because she was better than me, actually most of the work she made her success upon, was my work. But because of her name. I had the obvious lack of luck, because I have had the audacity to criticise the islamic/socialist alliance. And being a Zionist on top of that, made me a direct enemy of the state, more or less. These jewish names are difficult the common idea seemed to be,while as the muslim names were all cool, and was a key to open all the coffers in the cultural administration.
Add to this the success of some of my other friends. They had a cool little jazz ensemble. Good musicians, no success. Then they changed their name to Ibrahim Electric Ta da! All of a sudden instant success. So why? Well it is quite obvious that the muslim name was cooool and jaaaaz. Not jazz in the original southern state american form, which I really like, no in a new muslim version. Not that I have heard that muslims like jazz much, in fact music is forbidden in the more conservative version of Islam. But in the multicultural/socialist view, Islam is the new jazzzz… or something like that.

It was an amazing debate, the arguments were sharpened, the messages clear, it is, to my mind, obvious that, whoever wins the election; America is back on track. The challenges are met in a progressive and sound manner. The enemies are pressed back, and the political opponents are challenged in a balanced way. This coming from the brink of disaster after the Bush administration, is a bit of a wonder, you could say. It is like a huge aircraft carrier turning on a tiny plate, at the brink of the abyss. It was very good, I applaud thee, you have done so very well. Congratulations.
Continuing the work will be hopefully my friend Barack Obama, but if Romney wins, I am sure, he will make a competent leader as well.
I have held back a bit in the election, because my advice could be used against you Barack, so I decided to hold my horses a bit, because you knew what to do anyway. However, so close to the finishing line, you can use my advice without being afraid of your opponent misusing it.
Here are two pieces of advice. First of all; communication. Communication is about the right words to use. You can use carefully crafted words as a kind of game changer or definer of the debate. Like the word “Romnesia”. In fact, it is a bit unethical to use the dosing of words too much, but nevertheless I would advice using the word; “flip – flopper”.

To win you have to lose yourself completely, and just focus on the moment. It is vital, that you think about only one thing; winning. I wish you the best of luck.
G-d bless you.
When focusing on the next issue of the tv debates, you must realize, that you are in the best possible strategical situation. All the cards are on your hand. Play it with eloquence, intelligence and drive. There are several gaffes to point to; the tour of England, the animosity of Russia and the possible explosion of anti Americanism in the entire Middle East if Romney becomes the next president.
On your hand we have already several impressive scores. I believe the most important discussion will be on the ideological content of the wars in the Middle East. Americans need a sense of pride and positive attention. This is what you can give them by underlining the positive and good development we have created in the Middle East. Tell them that you fought for democracy on your term, and you believe that the world has become a better place to live in, and a more secure place. You know that everything is not perfect, and there are much to do. But there is a lot of American spirit in the world.
Tell them that you wanted to give people change, and you have. Not as much internally as you would have wanted, because of the gridlock in the process of government, but you proved yourself as commander of the American army as liberator and a proud standard-bearer.
Add to this the improved standing in the world of America. And you believe that all Americans can be proud of being just that; the liberators and the good guys.
Tell them, that you will continue to serve as the protector of the American people, and the fighter for freedom.

When we look upon the northern kingdoms, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, England, Holland they all have one thing in common; a falling socialist environment.
After the fall of the Iron curtain, new states emerged. They all had a difficult past with communist state systems of megalith coordination and control. The system worked as a state controlled, mind warping tentacle. That through media, controlled most of the so called democratic states. According to Vaclav Havel, the fall of the communist system were when the reality people experienced in the street were too far from what the state sponsored media presented to them. They started to read between the lines and decipher the real meaning.
The secret service had a humongous library of almost all citizens of the state, forcing new critical voices into silence through hard-handed measures. The same as Iran today.
The northern kingdoms are the same, just a lighter version. The state sponsored media is tightly controlled, and dissidence is monitored and persecuted and held under scrutiny. The light version of the socialist state, because that is what it is, is the fact that they do not directly kill dissidents, but persecute them through the many tentacles of the state. When you get a new job, they will contact the employer, when they want to disrupt your life, they infiltrate your family and friends to slowly wear you down. I have tried it, some of my friends have tried it.
The signs of a beginning of the end is the fact that people do not trust the media anymore. The reality is too far from the media conveyed reality. When the public television makes an islamfest, and sings about the beauty of the islamic faith, it rings discordantly when your best friend have either been harassed or maybe killed by a muslim. The reality and the media are two distinctly different pictures.
Now, to understand how to make a system change from corrupt Islamist infested socialism to true democracy, we need to make use of some of the same means as we did when we fought down communism.
These were propaganda, economical pressure, infiltration, and direct invention if a system are at the brink of collapse.

When we consider the possibilities of defending the West, we also have to consider the acts of treason.
Let me put it this way. If you send soldiers to fight for the freedom of the Libyan people, or the Afghan people, you do not send them back to have their own kids raped by the very same people they are fighting abroad. This is intolerable, and I know that I speak on the behalf of all military personnel in their complete disregard of this policy.
Let me give an example. The same time we were fighting in Libya, there was a huge discussion in Denmark concerning a mega mosque sponsored directly by the Iranian regime in Denmark. There is still some discussion on the exact sponsoring, but according to my sources within the iranian expat community, it was sponsored by the mullahs.
This megamosque is planned, along with an entire medina collection of cultural institutions and schools in the center on Copenhagen. Untill this day, the entire political establishment has, unofficially, condoned the project.
What signal does this send to the mullahs? It is a clear signal of allegiance, add to this the open antisemitism of the leading artist of Denmark, the most outspoken is actually one of my family, the renowned international director star Lars von Trier.
You have a clear case of allegiance, bordering direct subordination.

Confronting what we see as Islamists or terrorists, we need to be honest about the possible conflicts we will have in Europe. I have tried to convince the states and the relevant authorities. All to no avail.
The fear and the lack of progression is without any parallel in the European history. Somehow the Islamists have succeeded in infiltrating and pacifying the states so thoroughly, that it is not moving.
We should be honest to ourselves, it cannot go on. How would a confrontation between the West and the local Islamists on the European peninsula possibly progress?
To understand that, we need to understand the internal logistics, the political alliances, and the type of warfare we have to conduct.
First of all, it will be a city, guerrilla war. Most of the Islamists are fortified in the major cities around Europe; Cologne, Copenhagen, London, Paris, Marseille.
They have, swiftly, through local terror swept the territory clean of enemies, and build a lot of infrastructure in terms of schools, training facilities, communication and penetrated the local authorities.
When the confrontation initiates, we therefore have pretty little use of impressive cold war hardware. We need, motorized, flexible, well-equipped infantry to haunt the Islamists down, and put them to justice.
The progress we have made in robotics is very good indeed. The robotics of UAV and smaller fighting units are effective in a guerrilla citywar. Combined with a boosted secret service, the war will be a game of spies, counterspies and targeted hits. We need to hit the bad guys with precision and force. They are deeply infiltrated in supposed friendly territory, but we need to realize, that the supposed friends are not really friends. Only when it serves their purpose.
So to use the cloak and daggers effectively, we need to be prepared for a lengthened dance of the dark elites.

As we commence the next generation of flight from outer space to earth, we must also focus on the advancement of humankind on earth. This is as difficult as entering and leaving space, perhaps even more difficult, because man is such a wondrous and complicated being.
First of all, we have made some progress, by looking back. We have now realized, that in order to advance the economy of the West, to the betterment of not only the West but beyond, we must produce the goods ourselves. Production is moving back. There are many discussion on the taxation and cost of this and that. But bottom line, the advantage of a home produced item far outweighs the disadvantage. First of all, the production is much more stable, secondly it contributes to the welfare of the Nation, a frame we all have to contribute to, the best we can. If we need and want peace and prosperity, someone has to protect us. Since neither the EU or the common globalist movement, including many local sponsors seem to either want or are able to protect us, we need to support the framework that will; the nation and its loyal supporters. We do that, as businessmen through a loyal support of the country we live in. If a factory is placed in England, it will strengthen England, if it is placed in Wales, it will strengthen Wales.
Nations are all the rave again in the world. In the Arab world it seems to me, that we have a burgeoning renaissance. It touches my heart when arabs talk about the true sources of their misery; the lack of civilization. The philosophers who roamed the great Arab states are all gone now, almost forgotten. But in order to relive and reinvent the civilization that was so advanced, Arab states must advance themselves on their own premises. It should be done with the help of Israel, since Israel is honour bound to progress other nations, Israel cannot defy the Arab states if they wish to progress. It has to be initiated now, before the oil wealth runs dry.
First of all, it is about the understanding of mathematics. You see, the West initiated its progress basically through a single individual. A simple man coming from a minor provincial town of England, his name was Newton. This man, single-handed started the industrial revolution. How did he do that? By focusing 100% on mathematics. He showed the English public, that mathematics will give them a sure path to truth. It gave the West a way back into the depths of Egyptian lore, since mathematics is an Egyptian idea.

To be realistic about the fight against the islamists, we have to be honest with ourselves as to where they are, and the alliances they have.
First of all, they are pushed back over many fronts, the major win we have had in Sudan is the crown of our effort to push them back, but they are not beaten yet.
One enemy we have lost sight of is the money men behind the islamist surge. Saudi arabia have pushed some economical means as to their continued existence, Iran some. But the major contributor to the continued effort to bring down America and the West at large is not the relatively poor and corrupt islamist countries (perhaps Saudi Arabia is not wholly an islamist country), but the financiers of Europe, and especially Scandinavia.
Scandinavia is, wholly and with the heart the suppliers of Al Qaeda and numerous islamist regimes in the world. It goes through a clandestine effort of the secret service to cover up the fundraising and moneymaking in Scandinavia by the local islamists, to the open support of the islamists by leading intellectuals and literati. The most decrepit and sinister actions of the state is the employance of hard-core islamists to teach our young about the virtues of islam, and the faults within the West in connection with the criticism of their holy prophet. Yes, this is the action of the state, a shame, especially after the gains Denmark had internationally in the aftermath of the Mohammad Cartoon crisis. A good example is the journalist who, on the Daily Politiken, supported vigorously the 9 / 11 arrangement, a certain Jacob Sheik, has been the educator of our young, at 400 arrangements in the high school. Sponsored by the state, in state schools. Can it be more corrupt?

We are slowly moving ahead in the competition between nations. According to Abraham in the Thora, we are supposed to be the “light upon the nations”. What would that include in terms of meaning. There are two distinct meanings we could include in the idea. First, “light” is an Egyptian idea that, basically includes the notion of truth. So if we are to be the light upon the nations, we should be true to our values, and true to other nations values. The second implication is the notion, that we should be an example to follow. Understood in the sense, that we are casting a certain light, because the actions we do and the society that we create is so inspiring, that other nations will follow suit.
Already this is slowly initiated through the good companionship with both the Vatican state, United States of America, and the Russian state. We are the stewards of the holy land, and in this capacity, through honest and enlightened service, we put the holy land to the service of all who hold it truly dear.
Now, as democracy and nationhood expands in the world, we are entering a competition. When America polishes its feathers to lift off in another turn of dreaming, when the great Russian fighter will emerge itself in both love and light, when Persia will realize its potential as the steward of Zoroastrianism, we are in a deer and healthy competition. It is not an aggressive competition but an inward rebuilding of our own values and virtues.
This is the true meaning of “light upon the nations”, the true and serious search for the values of our faith, and the realization of it in actions. We have to do as we preach.
G-d bless Israel.
There are some alarming developments seen from an Israeli point of view, in Denmark these days. There is an election going on in the junior partner of the current socialist/communist government.
The election is basically a right wing/left wing competition within the party. Until now, the right wing of the party were leading the party. This had the effect that the critical stance against Israel was toned down. Not much, but enough to safe the face of the Nation, with a little helping hand of my own design. Basically I had to ridicule the party leader not to cause trouble between Israel and Denmark. Problem is, the party is in charge of the foreign minister post. The current chairman of the party is the foreign minister of Denmark.
Now, as the election of the new chairman progresses, the left wing candidate is the most succesful. Some of her ideas are absolutely ok, she fights for state to take care of elderly, poor and unemployed. The only problem is; the most powerful ministry they posses, is the foreign ministry. So they should, rightfully, be judged upon their foreign policy. And this is where we have a bit of a problem, seen from Israel. Because her stance on the israeli, palestinian conflict is made up in the late Arafat days. That is she is supporting the “palestinian people”, and she sees Israel as a more or less neo nazi occupier of the hapless palestinians. She obviously do not really now what is going on, but she pushes on regardless of the implications of the Israel/Danish relationship that would deteriorate as a consequence of her stance.

Concerning the ongoing debacle with the Danish internal security system. There is just a basic point we need to make:
We need an explanation as to why the PET arranged a meeting at the 9/11, the day so many American, innocent citizens lost their lives in the blaze in New York.
We have proposed the simple action; stop the Islamist in Denmark, and stop collaborating with them. That is the request, and a fair one.
We have explained the consequence for a continued collaboration with the Islamists, and our appropriate actions.
As I touched upon in the last article, we need to refresh our approach to the internal security forces of the Northern European hemisphere. They are not working the right way.
Let us recapitulate. We have, in Libya, in Tunis and halfway in Egypt fought for arab democracy. We have had the opportunity to ignite a wonderful wave of freedom seeking societies, a feat none believed before we started. Likewise in Iran, we are on the brink of a system change, if we are diligent and extremely careful. We will bring peace to the Middle East and beyond.
But, there is a but. We are not protected in our own homelands. The internal security forces are using the goodwill the military creates to shelter the exact enemies we fight abroad. Creating a situation where we are extremely vulnerable in our homes. It has come to the extreme, where our own daughters are passed around as slaves in Islamist rings. This is not tolerable, not at all. Add to the rise of antisemitism, and the picture is a Gauguin mixed with Picasso on very bad day.
Now, we need to mend that. So far, the internal security forces have not responded to our criticism, and our means are too violent for them to really understand. Killing people is the craft of the warrior, but the craft is a forceful weapon to use on soft and meek citizens. We need another approach, but first we need to understand what motivates the traitors of the internal security forces. It is a mix of two:
1. Fear
2. Ideology
Why do the internal forces keep persecuting me and my friends? Because they are afraid. They got scared, a lot, under the Mohammad Cartoon crisis. Now, this is the intention of the Islamists. That is what terror really means. It means striking fear in the enemy, (us). Terror is a subjective feeling. If we really look at the true strength of the Islamists, it is not much. They have some half-baked street thugs they can scare the citizens with, and, potentially a nuclear bomb in Iran. But compared to the combined strength of the West, it is not much. Add to this the fabled and disgraceful cowardice of the Islamists. (They only fight when they are sure to win). They are not a force to be scared of. Take the example of the Mohammad film made in the US. If we simply ignore them, nothing happens. It is a psychological game, where they are, to be blunt; faking. In poker you would say that they are playing as though they have a full house on a very bad hand.
So the fear our cowardly security forces are reacting with, is just a fools game.

We have a problem in Northern Europe. Let me be absolutely frank about it; there is a concentration of Islamist power in the northern region. It has come about through infiltration of the UN, forcing the UN to send so called “refugees” to Northern Europe, picking Islamists footsoldiers to send to asylum camps. Not all the refugees have been Islamist footsoldiers, but a great part of them have. This has created, together with a 1990 style import of Arafat Palestinians, an underground of Islamist controlled and active network in the Northern Europe.
Now, things have changed, the Arab spring has weakened the Islamists considerably and together with the spirited fight against the different Al Qaeda franchises, the Islamist are weaker than before. This has also created a democratic muslim network, primarily among Iranian expats, some of them my good friends.
Now, the EDL, SIAD and the other defense leagues are made up of patriotic citizens of the northern european countries, they are, in all respect, representatives of the military fighters. They are the persons who fight in Afghanistan who at home confront the same enemy they fight abroad.
This movement, that is, mainly controlled and organized by serious patriots without a racist agenda, they have been vilified and persecuted by internal forces. Me myself, I have had my family torn to pieces, and cannot get a job both because of the public vilification, and, I suspect, a helping hand of the secret services, in Denmark called PET.

We can discuss how Israel should contribute to the conflict with Iran. First of all, the problem is; it is a war. War is one of the most difficult things to handle in terms of ethics. There are several problems. If you just fight, you might win, but it can be meaningless without an ethical aim. Let me give you an example. When Goliath fought David. What would the ethical aim for Goliath be? I mean, David was a smallish and young boy with only a sling. It would not be an honourable victory, and he would be seen as a tyrant if he won. That would, potentially fall back on his army.
Now, David had a mission, and it was an ethical mission; he wanted to free his people. He did so, and therefore won a lot of honour, and his path towards kingship was initiated.
The same goes with Iran. If we conduct the war as Goliath, we would not win any honour, and as a consequence our standing in the world would diminish and it would, potentially, give us a lot of trouble.
We somehow need to envision an ethical aim with the conflict to survive as a nation.

We are now witnessing an emerging democratic movement in Iran. It seems to me, that not only are the Iranians tired of the economic sanctions that has been put the land, but they are actively voting, with their feet, for democracy.
In the past few days, an initial uprising has been seen in the markets of Teheran, where the money exchangers roam. This is a combined desperation and democratic urge we see emerge.
Now, this has to be supported. I support it 100%, I really do believe, that the Iranians, if they have the opportunity to be free, they will take that opportunity.
We all wish to be free, if we can. Sometimes we strive so hard, that the police will come and take us. This happens all the time in Iran. If we are not there to help them, when they cry for freedom, what are we as persons and fighters for democracy? We are not faithful to our values. So, be it Israel, and the US, and Russia, I hope we all will support the will of the Iranian people.
We will see, there is a fierce contest between the two presidential competitors these days in America. I have a close relationship to Mr. Barack Obama. But I know, that whoever will be the head of America, they will support the freedom of the Iranians. It would be a dire sin not to.

We are talking a lot about red lines these days. Problem is, we need to qualify the idea a bit to really understand the discussion as such.
I fact in the book “Courage, wisdom and justice” you can see in the right column, I discussed the principle with Mr. Herbert Pundik the former editor of the daily Politiken and a veteran peacemaker. According to his idea, in politics you always have to listen to the “red line” of a opponents discussion. If you do not understand where his red line is, he will go to war and start attacking you. On the other hand, it is also very important to be clear about your own red line, so that the opponent will know when you are ready to fight physically with your opponent.
This is why Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu is talking so much about red lines, he is trying to convey the feeling of “this is the limit we are willing to go to”, and the message is clear, Israel will not accept a nuclear armed Iran, because it is too dangerous for Israel.

When it comes to the defense of free speech, there can be absolutely no discussion; it is not to be suppressed in any way possible. It is the first principle of democracy, and there is no way to control a curbing of it in any rational way. Either we have it, or we do not have it.
The reason why freedom of speech is such a central principle is manifold.
Let me take you a bit down in history to celebrate some of the turning points.
The very first invention of anything close to freedom of speech was by the Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten. He is the true founder of all monotheistic religions, that is Judaism, Christianity and Islam. In his view, the sun would be an impersonation of the spiritual realm, and the rays would be its way to reach humanity; hence illumination. Now this illumination on earth is the truth. Speak the truth he said, because in this you would be close to heaven. How can we be on a path of truth, if we cannot speak freely?
Fast forward to Greece, here there is first the renowned philosopher Parmenides from Elea. In his philosophy you could walk on the path of opinion or on the path of truth. How can we walk the path of truth if we cannot speak freely?
The most important philosopher however, when it comes to democracy is Socrates. Socrates was a genius in the Hellenic world, he personally changed the entire stream of philosophy without writing down a single word. He said; I am the wisest man in all Greece, because I know I do not know anything. His philosophy is basically one single point; there is one place where we can find truth, and that is in dialogue. This was refined by first Plato and thereafter Aristotle, who gave us what we know as moderne science, through the first french renaissance. Socrates died because he believed in freedom of speech.
These are the most important of our ancestors who gave us the central point of principle when it comes to democracy. But there are others as Voltaire who was the example of the second french renaissance, or Poul Henningsen here in Denmark. Who fought, with their life at stake, for freedom of speech. Lately we have had a bit of a confrontation between some Islamists and Denmark concerning freedom of speech. Everybody else, or most, have backed down on the principle, except your most beloved or hated philosopher Asger.

We are soon entering a vital phase of the election; the debates. These debates are crucial, because here the contestants are facing each other in a fierce battle on words and ideas. We need to be prepared, very prepared.
I cannot contribute with all the details we have to be in control of, but I can support with some basic reflection, on the some of the issues, I have had the honour to work with.
In a debate, as in any other contest, it is all about initiative. Who has the ball. So, from the beginning we need to be hard pressing on the issues we know are weaknesses. First and foremost, the main disadvantage of Romney is foreign policy. He has fumbled in this field, overwhelmingly. His nice, but unmartial stance on the issues are not really working. Yes, he supports Israel, but really, can you see the soft and loving grandfather be a Ronald Reagan or George Bush? No, he seems to meek to me. He would not have the true balls to take on that fight.
Now, he has also no idea about the current state of diplomatic equilibration. He has no clue about the standing we are in when it comes to Russia or Iran.
He knows a little about Israel, and a little about China that is it.
He does not understand, that what we are facing, if we fight along cold war lines, is turning the cold war into a hot war. That would be absurd, but that would be the reality. So, we need to ask him what he thinks will really happen if he attacked Iran full force? How would he imagine the power calibration of the Middle East would react to it. The most possible reaction would be an inflaming of the entire Middle East, and that would, potentially spread to the rest of the world, and a third world war would initiate.
Therefor, the most rational approach is a slow but mounting pressure, that might, might not result in a system change scenario. This has been the strategy until now, and it has paid off in a much more stable and less war-torn Middle East. Yes, there is Syria right now. But, the alternative could have been all out war.
The long goal is to make system change in Iran, for the sake of the Iranians, with the consent of Russia. This would effectively end the cold war, and it would, if everything goes well, introduce a much closer relationship to Russia.

We are soon entering a direct confrontation with China, and now also Taiwan wants to play. In the confrontation between Japan, Taiwan and China with regards to the minute islands far from any of the three powers, it is all about the money. As I am informed, there is a lot of oil beneath the islands, so the three powers are fighting over it.
This leads to the open and very clear conclusion; we need to get our business, in terms of production, out of China. We can still trust the japanese, but China is not to be trusted. I think the aquisition of the halfmade aircraft carrier bought from Ukraine on the pretext, that it was supposed to be a casino, talks for itself. Especially since it is floating around, close to a possible enterance in the conflict with japan and Taiwan. We are facing a potential face off between the three powers. America will be hard pressed by Japan to enter into the conflict, but the strength of America is sucked up by China, so it is not a situation that is, in any way, sustainable in the long run. We need those factories back to Ohio.

In regards to the Iranian threat to Israel, that continues as a possibility we cannot ignore. I have the following ideas and thought as to how we can prepare a peaceful solution to the threat. Maybe not absolutely peaceful, after all, war is a dangerous endeavour, but a solution with the least amount of violence involved.
Let me begin with a story. My grandfather’s brother was an amazing person of his time. Imagine a man of the last century; strong, upright, just and warm at the same time. One of the persons you would wish you had as a grandfather.
He was an enlightened schoolbuilder. His life’s work was a Højskole in a place called Snogerup. a grand theater of learning and wisdom. A place for the young to attend to attain not barren and reproduced knowledge, no, a place for real wisdom.
Being a leading intellectual and a staunch supporter of the liberal cause, he went on a mission to the Faroe Islands. Imagine that place. It is called the most well-preserved island community in the world; avast with monumental cliffs and thunderous waves beating at the shore in an endless battle between sea and the puny refuge of an old tribe.
Denmark has had the stewardship over the Faroe Islands for a thousand years, all the way back to the viking ages. So it is an ancient relationship between the Islands and the mainland. Often there has been a bit of a tendency to break free of the proud islanders.
So my grandfather’s brother wanted to mend the rift that was between the islanders of Faroe and the people of Denmark, and he went on a mission.
He set up camp in the most conservative of conservative camp of the Faroese, and he had a message. He said; I represent the spirit of the people of Denmark, we realize, that it has not always been perfect, and for this we are sorry. We do respect the wishes of the Faroese, and we wish to make peace.

When talking about conservatism, it seems to me that Romney at the meeting in may, was a strange carricature of a conservative. Mind you, I should know, being a conservative philosopher myself.
What is it really to be a conservative? Well, these days many conservatives tend to look at the ideas of Adam Smith and his free enterprise ideas. During the Bush administration it was put to its extreme, and it is not wrong to say, that it has run its course as an idea we can use, as Keynesianism, on the other side.
We need to remake the idea of conservatism, and although conservatism can be many things, there is however one thing it is for certain; it is the ideological fight for justice.
Justice has always been at the center of anyone who would want to support country, faith and the wellbeing of man.
How could we then put these basic ideas into a new use? Well we would first have to discuss what justice really is. Justice is an ancient idea, that was first defined in Babylon and in Egypt. The Babylonian idea is more what one would understand as a conservative version, since it goes hand in hand with the aristocratic ideas later put forth by the orders of the knights.
It is simple. According to Hammurabi, the Babylonian king who invented this first step of civilization, we have law to protect the weak against the strong. In an uncivilized world, it is the strong that will rule the weak, so to control that, we put up rules, to protect the farmer, the child, the normal citizen against the strong criminal.
Seen in an international view, it is the same that goes into the fight against tyranny. Here again it is the strong tyrant that will subdue the weak citizen, and through at helping hand, and ultimately the government of democracy, constructed over the rule of law, is the redemption of the weak of the states of the tyrant.

Talking about “Islamists” all the time, one could like to discuss what an Islamist really is, and whence the idea, or det definition came from. It might sound preposterous, by I really believe I coined it. It was in the aftermath of the Mohammad Cartoon crisis, that i joined SIAD. Stop Islamization of Denmark. At the time it was basically an unknown smallish group in northern Jutland. So I did not know it, and basically nobody else knew it. But on it goes, I joined forces with Anders Gravers, and we envisioned a new strategy to stop the Islamization.
I did much of the strategic work, and Anders was the chairman; the head of the organization.
My idea was basically pretty simple. After reading most of what I could get my hands on of literature defining and discussion Islam (most of it critical). I realized, that Islam is a system very much like our own, just structured in a totally different way that ours. But the basic building blocks were the same; they had a rule of law, at state, and a religion connected to that. They call it sharia, Ummah, but it is the same, it is the nation and the rule of law.
Now, to make a critical stance towards Islam, I however needed to understand where the precise conflicts were, and where not. I realized, that there is no real conflict between our religion and the religious parts of Islam. Both Islam, Christianity and Judaism has, as a religious goal to support the nation.
So the conflict was in the political sphere. We are democrats, or rather, most of the West, and now also the East are believers in the Socratic ideals of free speech, humanism and the rule of the people. Add to this items as enlightenment and justice, and you had the Western/Eastern political project.
So in order to define ourselves in opposition to Islam, we are the democrats opposed to a religious state.
In Islam justice is found in the Koran and, ideally, as a divine definition, in our system it is done by the elected politicians, ideally as the will of the people.
Therefor, I proposed Anders, that we see ourselves as defenders of our democratic states in opposition to muslims who do not respect the democratically founded items of state. That is the rule of law and the rule of the people over the law.
We stressed, that we define the opposition of our project as politically driven muslims. We defined secular muslims, that is muslims who believe in democracy, as absolutely ok, and muslims who believe in sharia and the ummah as the antagonists of the Western Democracies.
This ideology spread through SIAD to numerous political parties, and through Danish Peoples party to the rest of the Danish society, and from there the rest of the world.
That is the story, and the power of philosophy.

In the conflict with the Islamist controlled Iran, we are en deep waters. They have finally used one of the big guns; coordinated attack on embassies over the entire Middle East. They did it with the Mohammed Cartoons, and they are trying to do the same with a new film.
Here are some of the pieces of experience we made in Denmark in the same situation:
1. It is all theater. It is not about winning any territory, or really because they are angry because of so-called “insult to their prophet”. It is a political happening. In Denmark they even imbued the happening with extra pictures that were really insulting to Muslims. If they were genuinely offended, why would they then make up extra pictures of the prophet really offending.
2. Negotiation does not work. The happening is a happening. It was like when the flower powers planted flowers in the guns of the soldiers. They did it to make a political statement, it was not about obtaining anything. They just wanted the attention.
3. The campaigners are not really that many. Since it is a political happening, it is mostly organized by political insiders. So it will be the faithful, not the people as such.
4. Being scared does not make any difference. They are in it for the scaremongering, so just stand firm, take it with calm, and deal out the necessary, just, actions.
Now these political (violent) protest are not there for just the entertainment of muslims, christians and jews alike. They are there to serve a political aim. This aim is a bit difficult to understand. But understanding the mind of the leading Iranian Islamists, it does not have to serve a direct aim, it is just a happening of chaos. Remember, the leading supporters of Ahmadinejad are chaos worshippers, they are the SS of the iranian system. They are basically as wacko as the SS was with strange ideas with occult meaning.

We wonder from whence the ideas of freedom came to the descendants of the northern people. It is old. In the old times, before we were christianised, we had freestates and freethinkers. So it is traditions that is as old as we are.
Now, there are many who threaten freedom all the time; Islamists, corrupt socialist governments, bureaucracies run mad. It all comes down to the same problem; tyranny. They like to rule and control other people, especially people they somehow dislike, be it the men of the West, the jews or the men of the East.
Sometimes they like to try our freedom, to see if we are still awake, or the corruption has got us chewed up. We were awake when the islamic hordes were here the first time, that was a time of Holger the Dane. According to myth, there will be a time where he is awakened, when Denmark is in mortal danger. He will rise as foe of old times, and start his songs of fighting.
My feeling is, that he is not totally awake but there are glimpses here and glimpses there. When he is totally awake, the foes of the descendants of Denmark will not be happy, but will meet a adversary of an imaginable force.
Let us remember that this day when we send our thoughts to the hapless civilians who lost their innocent lives in the flames of the dying twin towers. That day pushed us to remember a thing or two about freedom. Freedom of speech, freedom of conscience and freedom of a man to follow his own destiny uncontrolled by tyrannical state.
These are some of the values we have fought for, Denmark and America in unison for years, let the years be many more.
G-d bless the forgotten, the persons in pain and families who lost so much on the 9/11.
Understanding the current crisis of the West should be the starting point for a medication. You have to know why the West is in its predicament before you can prescribe medication.
The reason why we are in a crisis is because we are corrupt. We do not anymore serve the basic principles of the nation. We tend to go our own way and look for ourselves instead of joining hands and work together for a solution. Listen, the current crisis will not be dealt with if we continue to think that we can just take another sleep in the hammock. It will only work if we stay loyal to the principles of our nation. We need that common goal to pull things together and work for the reenergizing of the nation.
