From Orientering 50 år siden.

Two thousand years ago it lived in Palestine a rabbi and carpenter named Joshua, who had come from heaven to earth to save the world. Which world? The world is of course our world, it is us. Well, the world adopted Joshua and became Christian, that is, it adopted Christianity as its official religion.

This was the first world.

Countries that produced world-historical highlights of culture, a thousand years before the Europeans had crawled down from the trees

Since then we 'discovered' the other world. For it had not been discovered before, at least not by anyone other than those who lived there, and they naturally could not discover themselves. 'Discover' can only the whites. And step by step we discovered more and more new areas, finally we even discovered the third world.

Both in the second and third world there was much to be had, both in terms of labor and in gold, silver and precious stones. When we had discovered all this, we settled in a land flowing with milk and honey, and there we stayed until there really wasn't much left to send home. But before it got that far, some of the lands' rightful owners had grown tired of being the object of the looting and therefore tried to chase the guests out of the areas. But it didn't go well, because then the whites had to punish them for 'rebellion'. The 'natives' actually 'rebelled', if they tried to dislodge the lords. But it wasn't easy.

The Gentlemenit not only had the world's best weapons, it also had the world's best religion – furthermore, the lords were legally and legally the new owner of the land, so that all attempts to get rid of the invaders were de facto illegal and criminal acts. There were 'deceitful' ambushes on the whites and their self-described right to do whatever they wanted at the expense of others. Besides, the 'natives' were 'lazy' and they didn't like working for twelve cents a day. They bowed only to force of arms, that was the only thing they understood. And the one who has the best weapons is right and therefore also has God on his side.

It is thus also obvious that the person who has come the farthest clean armstechnically, also has the right God and the right religion. The white colonizers had the only true faith.

This is as obvious as colonizerone's natural right to take over the occupied territories and christen them the 'Belgian' Congo, the 'French' Congo, etc., – as obvious as the white 'rights' when it came to the material plundering of occupied territories.

'The Third World'

- One should note the wording: 'The third world', to 'discover' a country that has been inhabited by people for millennia; one 'had to send a punitive expedition'; that it is 'rebellion' to want to chase the burglars at the door; and that one is 'lazy', if one does not like to work without payment for the prosperity of one's occupants.

One is 'lazy' if one does not like to work without payment for the prosperity of one's occupants.

One would think that with an expression like the third world, the peak of arrogance and haughtiness would have been reached, – especially when by this you mean countries that produced world-historical high points of culture, a thousand years before the Europeans had crawled down from the trees.

But no, our self-awareness is not content with the temporal and earthly – we must also carry eternity with us, even beyond we will stand in a special position: Our religion is the best and only correct one. For was it not founded by a man who already 2000 years ago saved the world, and charged us to make all peoples his disciples?

Can one imagine a bigger one , vmod than the belief that of all , ligion#er is ours the only right one? That only us whites own the truth? So it is this one , ropeisk#e truth we celebrate.

Who takes care of the salmon?

In scenic Iceland, there is a bitter battle between the farming industry and local activists. The open cages are a ticking bomb for both the environment and animal welfare.

When the truth becomes threatening

JULIAN ASSANGE: Aftenposten had learned from Julian Assange and sucked what they could from his WikiLeaks data universe, and millions of secrets, before quickly throwing him under the bus. Assange created the whistleblowers' perpetuum mobile, WikiLeaks, an unlimited infinity machine of truth where truth whistleblowers all over the world were given the opportunity to reach out – and lift the blankets that hide the lies of power, their war crimes, corruption, tax fraud, hidden bank accounts, fortunes and conspiracies. What now?

The art of moving

WITH HUMAN DOCUMENTARY FILM FESTIVAL: The Norwegian documentaries Ibelin and Ukjent landskap, both of which have made a strong international impression, tell moving stories about special individuals – but at the same time provide enriching perspectives on our social life. Both films give heartwarming portrayals of a person who is no longer alive, but who has left a strong imprint.

When Muslims, Jews and Christians lived side by side

ETHNICITY: Maimonides is considered one of the most important Jewish thinkers ever. In his time, the relationship between the Muslim, the Arab and the Jewish was mutually enriching. Rather than viewing the relationship between Jews and Arabs in a polarized way, Maimonides' example shows that their enmity is redundant and intellectually debilitating. The conflict is not about religion, because Judaism and Islam have far too many central similarities.

SUBJECTS: Hartmut Rosa points out that today's late modern people react to the flood of information without "developing a stable understanding of what is relevant, of direction and prioritization". But does the well-educated academic here become an ideologue with religion as a weapon against an increasingly purpose-rational world where the economy colonizes the social?

Silently disciplining research

PRIORITIES: Many who question the legitimacy of the US wars seem to be pressured by research and media institutions.
