1054 – The Trump Regime proves again to be the single largest danger to humanity’s future

Here is Trump’s disturbing 8-min speech with an analysis of all the classical psycho-political delusions, hubris, arrogance and the blindness of military power. It can only go wrong now… February 28, 2026 There were only two things that surprised me – and would have been fitting – namely that he had been dressed in military battle uniform (I predict that, as Supreme Commander, he will … Continue reading 1054 – The Trump Regime proves again to be the single largest danger to humanity’s future

1050 – Comparing China’s and the U.S.’ speeches at Munich

China’s highly important global media outlet, CGTN, asked me for my comments immediately after the two foreign ministers spoke on Saturday, February 14, 2026. The contrast could hardly have been bigger. The audience gave Marco Rubio a standing ovation for his exclusive Western perspective, and many left the room after that – ignoring the Chinese Foreign Minister, Wang Yi’s soft-spoken speech with a global or … Continue reading 1050 – Comparing China’s and the U.S.’ speeches at Munich

1043 – Stop Trump

Det står for mig smertefuldt klart, at de politiske dynamikker i Washington i stigende grad spejler det farligste mønster, der kulminerede i 1945, og som verden besluttede aldrig skulle gentage sig. USA er blevet en fascistisk stat — indadtil og udadtil. Hvis landet nogensinde har været et demokrati — et ord, der ikke findes i dets forfatning — så er det det ikke længere.  USA … Continue reading 1043 – Stop Trump

The Trump Presidential Regime suffers from pathological MAGAlomania

Here is CNN on April 1 – and it is not a normal Fools’ Day. It’s the day before Trump’s Liberation Day. And here is what I wrote across social media this morning: “TFF 🔻 The Trump Presidential Regime – it’s not a democracy – suffers from pathological MAGAlomania. It’s the world’s most dangerous leadership. Self-destructive beyond words. Talk no more about Russian Roulette but … Continue reading The Trump Presidential Regime suffers from pathological MAGAlomania

Trump 2-Regimet vil kun fremskynde Vestens nedtur og fald

Kun en elendig Efterretningstjeneste og en kakistokratisk politisk elite kan, som i Danmark, blive overrasket over at Trump kunne komme til magten og atte kræver Grønland. Og kun intellektuelt dovne, umoralske mennesker har blindt støttet alle USAs – landsødelæggende og tabte – krige og interventioner. Med alle vore fælles værdier måtte der jo ikke være så meget som et A4-ark mellem os og USA! Men … Continue reading Trump 2-Regimet vil kun fremskynde Vestens nedtur og fald

Grønland: Nu må det internationale samfund træde til

– Vi har fra Grønland gjort alt, hvad vi kan for at få amerikanerne til at forstå, at de igennem deres vedvarende pres krænker os som befolkning og vores suverænitet. Men intet er kommet igennem hos Trump-administrationen, tværtimod øger de presset for hver dag, der går, og nu må det internationale samfund, i hvert fald dem vi anser som venner og allierede, træde til i … Continue reading Grønland: Nu må det internationale samfund træde til

Loyalty to US vs pursuit of strategic autonomy: Where will Europe head?

China’s Global Times has asked four European experts to comment on what is happening in Europe. I am one of them, but I would not like to give the impression that I know exactly what is going on. It’s too outlandish and defies rational analysis. You may read the four comments here. My original contribution was a bit longer than the printed version: Thanks to … Continue reading Loyalty to US vs pursuit of strategic autonomy: Where will Europe head?

Præsident Biden lovede at ødelægge Nordstream før Ruslands invasion

Folk fra Forsvarsakademiet, andre militære eksperter – f.eks. DR’s – de fleste store danske medier og – naturligvis – den ukrainske præsidents rådgiver peger – igen naturligvis – på Rusland som sabotøren af Nordstream-gasrørsledningen ved Bornholm. Statsminister Frederiksen og forsvarsminister Bødskov ligger dog en kende lavere end ellers angående Rusland og peger på hvor vigtigt – og svært – det er at få klarhed i … Continue reading Præsident Biden lovede at ødelægge Nordstream før Ruslands invasion

Sweden’s and Finland’s sell-out to Türkiye and Washington/Brussels arms-twisting

To get into NATO, Sweden and Finland just made a complete sell-out to Türkiye and Washington/Brussels arms-twisting. I believe we are seeing only the beginning of their foreign policy abdication and move toward total obedience to foreign interests. I’m talking about yesterday’s trilateral memorandum between the foreign ministers of Türkiye, Sweden and Finland, the text of which can be read on NATO’s homepage. As a … Continue reading Sweden’s and Finland’s sell-out to Türkiye and Washington/Brussels arms-twisting

Our lives are in the hands of intellectual high-jumpers in NATO like these…

Watch this 6-min video where the two people on NATO’s stage at its summit in Madrid are US President Biden and NATO Secretary-General, Jens Stoltenberg – identically dressed by the same ‘school’ both on the outside and the inside, the Master keeping to some notes, the apprentice gesturing energetically to be the Master’s most pleasing pet: Undoubtedly intellectual high-jumpers.

Discussion on RT America concerning Ukraine

On January 27, 2022, I was invited to comment with George Galloway on the conflict centring on Ukraine and to expose US exceptionalism and the now established Western lie that President Gorbachev was never given any promises by Western leaders that NATO would not expand eastwards. He was. The ‘live’ feature was longer; here the except from RT on Youtube – find it from about … Continue reading Discussion on RT America concerning Ukraine

Ukraine: The West Has Paved the Road to War with Lies

January 19, 2022 While this is being written, tension builds up around the more comprehensive Ukraine conflict formation. If this blows up in real war – God forbid! – the main reason will be three serious lies disseminated by the NATO side. Lies are used in so-called security politics when some militarist project doesn’t make any (common) sense to intelligent people, when the real motives … Continue reading Ukraine: The West Has Paved the Road to War with Lies

Why the Western world seems unable to live without enemies

Some 8 minutes of reflection on that question. In 2022, we are likely to see this inability manifest itself even more conspicuously, harming both the world and the United States itself. While at Vimeo which is so much more serious and artistic than YouTube, you may look around at Vimeo as such and also be inspired by The Transnational Foundation’s Channel and my Oberg PhotoGraphics … Continue reading Why the Western world seems unable to live without enemies

Vestens demokrati i dyb krise – men skyd hellere skylden på de andre

Uanset hvordan man definerer vestlig demokrati så er det i dyb krise. Vi har levet altfor længe med det selvtilfredse argument, at det er den mindst ringe beslutningsmetode – lullet os i søvn med at vestlig demokrati er det eneste mulige og noget, andre også burde have. Det er helt tydelig at demokratiet for eksempel ikke fungerer når der skal træffes hurtige beslutninger – som … Continue reading Vestens demokrati i dyb krise – men skyd hellere skylden på de andre

Two everyday stories about the US’ ongoing militarist perversity and spiritual death

• The US military in 2019 was hiding Syria airstrikes that killed dozens of civilians The two attacks in 2019 led to the deaths of up to 64 women and children, a possible war crime The US military called the strikes ‘legitimate self-defence’, and said the victims could have been combatants as some, including at least one child, were armed We should thank the New … Continue reading Two everyday stories about the US’ ongoing militarist perversity and spiritual death

Samråd om Forsvarets Efterretningstjeneste gav ingen svar om spionage mod Danmarks nabolande

Det er overskriften på DR’s historie – og tak til DR og de andre europæiske medier for at have gravet ordentligt og fundet denne helt igennem lurvede skandale. Regeringen og disse ministre er langt mere loyale med USA og dets sikkerhed end med sin egen befolknings sikkerhed. Det er løgn at åbenhed ville underminere danskernes sikkerhed og argumentet bør betragtes som forrædderi mod danskerne i … Continue reading Samråd om Forsvarets Efterretningstjeneste gav ingen svar om spionage mod Danmarks nabolande

Biden bombs in Syria – helping to steal its oil but what is there to talk about?

And Western media either don’t tell you or operate as one megaphone for the administration and Pentagon. Pentagon on February 25, 2021: “At President Biden’s direction, US military forces earlier this [Thursday] evening conducted airstrikes against infrastructure utilized by Iranian-backed militant groups in eastern Syria,” said spokesman John Kirby in a statement on Friday. “These strikes were authorised in response to recent attacks against American … Continue reading Biden bombs in Syria – helping to steal its oil but what is there to talk about?

U.S. Appparanoia

🆘 🇺🇸 The US spends US$ 720 billion – that is 720 000 000 000 – on its conventional and nuclear military. In reality much more but we drop that here. You may see how much that is of all the world: Despite this fact, the world’s militarily strongest power feels weak and vulnerable. Mr Trump and the administration feel that some China-produced apps are … Continue reading U.S. Appparanoia

Do US media provoke post-election chaos for Biden who also offers no hope?

Yesterday I wrote a longer analysis of the election process in the United States for my foundation’s homepage, The Transnational. I do not think this process is worthy of a democracy. But, sadly, the media decision has become “the result” and all of European politicians and media have followed suit – as they can’t wait to see Trump out of the White House and getting … Continue reading Do US media provoke post-election chaos for Biden who also offers no hope?

📌 Grønland i Danmarks amerikanske marionetteater

24. april 2020 Med udenrigsminister Jeppe Kofod i spidsen er Danmark nu på vej ud i sin største udenrigspolitiske skandale – det siger en del – siden besættelsen af Irak. Ifølge denne artikel på DR.dk er hverken Udenrigspolitisk Nævn eller Grønlandsudvalget blevet orienteret om USA’s “offer you can’t refuse” til Grønland – som fremstillet af den amerikanske ambassadør i København, Carla Sands, på Altinget.* Folketingsmedlemmer … Continue reading 📌 Grønland i Danmarks amerikanske marionetteater

It’s something about the U.S. Trumps

December 26, 2019 It’s something about their eyes – and not only that they are reading. It’s something about the main celebration – the longest sequence – of the military, armed forces, police and all in law enforcement, all in uniform and all around the world. It’s something about soldiers being shown when the word “peace” is mentioned. It’s something about that flag on his … Continue reading It’s something about the U.S. Trumps

Open letter to Nordea Bank concerning the sanctions on Iran

USA – den skamløse kriger

28. august 2019 Den amerikanske ambassadør i Danmark, Carla Sands, tweetede den 22. august at ”det er en fornøjelse at være vært for amerikanske og danske krigsveteraner til en barbecue og for at ære #WounderWarrior”-ugen.

Risikoen for krig mod Iran

16. juli 2019 Arbejderen er tilsyneladende den eneste danske avis, der er interesseret i “andre” synspunkter på denne konflikt end de gængse mainstream, styret af amerikanske interesser og nyhedsbureauer. Det er jeg selvsagt taknemmelig for. Hér kan du læse hvordan jeg ser på hele historien og bedømmer risikoen for at en krig bryder ud – uanset hvad der måtte være parternes intentioner.

Why the Kim-Trump Summit was a – predictable – fiasco

February 28, 2019 Peace can never be achieved this way a) The issue is about peace, not only nuclear weapons. The US has not been willing to sign a peace agreement after all these years. After some kind of peace process and treaty has been achieved, you can turn to the specific issue of nuclear weapons. b) Making peace takes time, thorough preparations, lots of … Continue reading Why the Kim-Trump Summit was a – predictable – fiasco

Vestverdens vendepunkt – Civil ulydighed over for USA

 

Det er nu tid at USAs venner og allierede indfører en politik af gandhiansk civil ulydighed i forhold til USA.

USA har gentagne gange i de tre årtier siden den Første Kolde Krigs afslutning forbrudt sig mod folkeretten, trådt menneskerettigheder under fode, de facto ødelagt lande og gamle kulturer, bedraget verden med bevidst falske årsager til at starte krig, etc.

Serien av forudsigelige krigsfiaskoer – eller kynisk bevidst villede krige: Jugoslavien, Afghanistan, Somalia, Irak, Libyen, Syrien – er den grundlæggende årsag. Og beslutningen om at droppe atomaftalen med Iran er den berømte dråbe. Den er en krigserklæring.

Millioner er blevet dræbt og såret eller fået deres fremtid ødelagt i disse lande. USAs nettobidrag til verden er nu negativt. USA lytter ikke til sine allieredes henstillinger.



Rationelt og etisk bør venner og allierede indse deres ansvar for at overtale USA til at stoppe imperie- og krigspolitikken. Ingen vil have USA som verdens politimand. 

Denne tankegang er ikke anti-amerikanisme, det er anti-imperialisme og anti-krig.

Trump’s irrationelle, egocentriske US first politik uanset prisen andre må betale er selvsagt en anden. Han har trukket USA ud af Paris-aftalen om miljøet og ud af atomaftalen med Iran skønt enhver véd at Iran har holdt aftalen til punkt og prikke og at det er USA, der ikke har det.

Når Europa og NATO alligevel synes at vakle i sin afstandstagen til USA har det at gøre med at ingen siden 1945 har tænkt den nærliggende tanke at man for en sikkerheds skyld også burde kunne stå på egne ben. 

Hvad kan man tænke sig som objektivt rimelig i forhold til de gentagne amerikanske brud på fællesskab, løfter, folkeret og almindelig sømmelighed?

– Økonomiske sanktioner mod udvalgte økonomiske, militære og politiske amerikanske ledere. USA bruger sanktioner mod andre, lad dem prøve det selv men sådan at det ikke går ud over de over 40 millioner amerikanere i dyb fattigdom og de mange andre milllioner, der kun lige får det til at gå rundt.

– Amerikanske ambassadører kaldes up til udenrigsministerierne i alle venligtsindede og allierede lande og få en reel hard talk: ”Hertil og ikke længere, Jeres politik I skader os, Jeres venner, og hele verden.

– Handl med Iran for fuld udblæsning. Washington skal ikke diktere hvem europæiske banker, virksomheder og andre har ret til at samarbejde med. USA vil kunne straffe nogle få men når tusinder bare bryder mod USAs sanktioner vil det amerikanske juridiske system tvinges til at give op.

– Sig nej til enhver form for samarbejde om militære interventioner. Vi deltager under ingen omstændighed i fremtidig militær aktivitet mod Iran. I og Israel vil stå helt alene.

– Sanktioner mod Israel hvis det fortsætter med at bombe iranske faciliteter i Syrien – hvor Iran har ret til at være fordi det er inviteret. Og hvis Israel fortsætter med at have atomvåben og nægter at acceptere inspektioner og medlemsskab i Ikkespredningsaftalen. Israels atomvåben skal nu forhandles væk.

– Olien vil blive forhandlet i andre valutaer end den amerikanske dollar.

– USA’s baser i europæiske lande kan blive lukket og amerikanske atomvåben skal fjernes…

- indtil USA a) bakker ned fra sine nye sanktioner mod Iran og mod sine allierede, b) ophører med at true Iran – hvilket forresten i sig selv er et brud på folkeretten – c) accepterer uden straffeaktioner at dem, der står fast på aftalen med Iran, handler i deres og Irans fælles interesser.

Hvis USA kommer til fornuft og atter bliver en civiliseret stat, ja så er man velkommen i det globale fællesskab.

Og vi andre? Jeg vil opfordre alle til at rejse til Iran denne sommer. Se og oplev det selv, se hvor skingrende skævt og krigsfremmende det vestlige/danske mediebillede af landet, folket og kulturen egentlig er – og støtte befolkningen med allehånde former for samarbejde inden for økonomiens, uddannelsens og kulturens områder.

Befolkninger kan faktisk føre udenrigspolitik – specielt når deres regeringer ikke længere gør det!

Why is the UN still so important – while it must also be reformed?

Why is the UN still so important – in spite of having had its Charter violated repeatedly during the last 25 years?

What is the real UN and what does its Charter … Continue reading Why is the UN still so important – while it must also be reformed?

Readying B-52 bombers – for what?

President Trump moves towards war on Iran

With his speech today – half an hour ago – U.S. President Trump has taken a huge step into uncharted territories. (Here on video).

One that implies a 60-75% risk of leading to a US attack on Iran.

Behind him stands the hardline militarists whom he has himself appointed. 


Secondly, neo-conservative individuals and think tanks who have brought the world only a series of failed wars and unspeakable human misery since the invasion of Afghanistan.

Third, the Military-Industrial-Media-Academic Complex, MIMAC, that is outside real democratic control and pushes relentlessly for ever-increasing armament and wars and serves the public all kinds of weird, fake images of what threatens the US. 

Further, pro-Israeli and pro-Saudi lobby organisations and extremely wealthy individuals who buy political influence and thereby destroy the very foundations of democracy and free opinion formation.


• 

Against these numerically tiny elites stand virtually the rest of the world, including NATO allies and the EU.

Why NATO is obsolete – some arguments

How many Americans has al-Assad killed?

I read dozens of articles every day about various conflict zones, commentaries, war reports and – the few times it happens – possibilities of peace. I read about Syria in particular as I have since I visited Damascus and Aleppo in December 2016.

It’s important that one does not, over time, develop the disease called “psychic numbing” – an excellent concept developed by Robert Jay Lifton, a former TFF Associate.

omaha

Today I stumbled upon an article in the Omaha World Herald by Washington Post’s David Ignatius under the headline “The Star-Crossed History of CIA Paramilitary Action.”

I’m not going to discuss that article but would like to call your attention to this sentence – that Ignatius does not even dwell on:

One knowledgeable official estimates that the CIA-backed fighters may have killed or wounded 100,000 Syrian soldiers and their allies over the past four years.

I fail to understand it. I read it again. I’d urge you to do likewise.

NATO should be dissolved – 8 arguments

This is TFF Live on Facebook – the live broadcast I do now and then because live broadcasts have a much larger dissemination than articles, images, texts and Youtube videos. You may find more here.

I also say a … Continue reading NATO should be dissolved – 8 arguments
