Ungrateful hosts in Prague

I am offended by the treatment the authorities in Prague show our students. They have been sold the image of a town focusing only on cheap alcohol, night clubs and parties where the boys and girls would go all the way.

The Danish students have saved all year to party for one week. They have paid a lot of money for the trip. They have a lot of money to spend on beer and parties.

But the local businesses don't want the money. The authorities would not allow those among the night clubs who will receive the money to welcome the tourists.

It is close to torture denying Danish teenagers alcohol. It is part of culture to drink. If you want to make a career in Denmark the method is to be there when the Danish workers socialize at work Friday afternoon over a beer or a glass of wine. If you are not there as employee then you will be among the first to be laid off during tough times. None would even remember you name if you choose to stay away.

The police seem to be abusive in their nature. They have not discovered that they lost the cold war. They should allow the Danish youth to act like the victors they are. Otherwise Prague and the entire Czech Republic is not some place to visit. I don't understand why they have the same votes in the European Union as Denmark has.

COP15 is a joke

Well, I tried to warn people from entering Denmark in the days before COP15 started. After all, our parliament created a set of emergency laws to protect property from foreign vandalists. People didn't listen. They entered Denmark and now they complain about how hard it is to pay the price.

Look how a young man from Sweden tells his story about he was detained in the Guardian.

According to my book the police did everything the right way. They did what the state of emergency laws allowed them to do. If you think their actions are wrong please write our politicians who have given them the rather extreme power.

But what was the alternative?

Denmark has seen how football / soccer fans have created riots in Copenhagen before. Regardless of how motivated and patriotic our police force is they simply hadn't the tools to prevent riots previously. Then some politicians choose that Denmark should house COP15. The price was extremely high as we can read in our newspapers that India voted for us in return to receive the right to prosecute our human aid workers for fabricated crimes. However export from Denmark to India is important as we are a huge shipping nation. Old ships have to be deposed off somewhere and India seems to offer excellent service in that regard.

So Saturday almost 1,000 protesters were arrested. The next two days we are talking 200 protesters per day and the worst is still to come. According to sources among the protesters they will try to force themselves into the meeting during the next couple of days.

If the criticism of our police and their effort to maintain peace in our country isn't bad enough, even the so-called politicians seems to act as rioters themselves.

Here I am thinking of representatives of the so-called G-77 which is a club of nations we are paying for through our aid to the third world. The money we pay to them, but we could have made better use of here. Did we ever receive even small thanks from these moochers?

What is the purpose of the attack on the Danish text? We all know that the Danish text represent the solution for the Earth. Personally I believe that Mr. Lumumba was sent out on a mission to remove focus on Human rights violation in Sudan. His actions are a combination of getting 5 minutes of fame and to guilt-pay us into believes that we cannot criticize his President because they choose to commit ethnic cleansing.

He could have chosen COP16 to do that. His actions don't belong in Copenhagen. When we are talking about Denmark, we are talking about maybe one of a few nations on this Earth who pays the United Nations what they owe. I know that the reason that some like the United States withholds their payment is that there is corruption in the organization. But as member of the European Union we Danes know that in any larger international organization corruption is essential to keep low-paid officials working at all. They are simply naïve.

The so-called Danish text will be an excellent End declaration. I know that our secret police arrested a critic of the COP15 named Tadzio Müller when he was finished speaking at the conference. He will “disappear” for some time. I really don’t like to write about this more dark secret side of Denmark but I have to point out that security after 9/11 has become more important. I will send my hugs to his relatives. They will need it.

I am just asking why they don’t take this Lumumba fellow from Sudan also. After all, his President is labeled a criminal and he is doing nothing good for the environment at the summit.

I just hope that we can overcome these last days without too much damage to our city.

Who are we supposed to be most afraid off?

Just this morning the government annouced that a number of tickets given for traffic violations would be doubled in order to scare the population to remain at home.

Trust me, I am terrified with the shootings around Denmark due to the ongoing gang war between biker clubs and gangs consisting of second or third generation immigrants, but now where our government has taken side and has introduced new tough laws which means deportation of gang-members with non-Danish etnic roots, this war will end in short time.

However now the population will suffer again and this time it is the central government over in Copenhagen who is the tormenters.

It seems that we ordinary citizens are supposed to live in scare for the rest of our lives.

I am almost coming to the conclusion that I rather want to live with the fear of being struck by a bullet than living with the fear of ongoing monitoring by the policeforces from the central government.

What do they want from us?

First they order that hand-held phones are banned. So we all start texting because the quality of handsfree solutions under 50 dollars are poor. That means more danger in trafic than hand-held phones if you ask me.

Speeding is considered something to be proud off if you ask around inside Danish firms. When an employee is speeding he is also showing that how faithful the employee is toward both his colleagues and firm. The government is asking for an increase in unemployment and outsourcing of jobs abroad. Why sending more jobs to foreign countries? We send all our old ships to India already when they are sold for scrap, but ships are big in size. There is no profit in sending smaller items to the third world for scrapping.

This scare-tactics of our government is un-danish and we cannot recover from the present economical crisis if we all run around scared.

But it seems that our politicians has lost touch with the population and a solution to how we can regain the connection to them will demand too much from a beaten nation. So we have no choice but to live in fear.

I am afraid all the time.
