The following article is an analysis done by a freelance journalist who specializes in climate and development and it depicts clearly how the leaders of the world are incapable of taking the Responsibility they were elected to take and how they rather than being politicians with the citizen’s of Earth’s best interest at heart, seem more like vicious criminals on a ruthless killing spree.

Analysis by Jesper Heldgaard in Politikken news paper 06-May-10 pg. 8

Translated from Danish by Anna Brix Thomsen.

The development countries trust to the rich countries promises regarding the climate, suffered a serious break under the climate summit in Copenhagen in December 09. Now the question is if the trust can be reinstated towards the next summit in Mexico.

Disappointment and depletion was shown in the eyes of the experienced climate negotiator Quamrul Chowdhury from Bangladesh in December, when he summed up the COP15 and the Copenhagen Accord that was agreed upon during the recent climate summit in Copenhagen: ‘The people of Bangladesh had great expectations to COP15, but this is not a satisfying result’. And he said that in spite of the fact that Bangladesh actually was one of the 29 countries, that behind close doors took part in negotiating the Copenhagen Accord. But as he expressed it: ‘We are in the role of the recipient. We have to be satisfied with this Accord.’ Still the Danish Prime ministries concluded in an evaluation report, that so far has been kept secret from the public that: ‘The east states, the Africans and the least developed countries were generally satisfied with the agreement and ‘positive towards the Danish leadership’’. The evaluation report is frightening reading because it reveals a view of the world, soaked in ‘real politics’, where only the rich and powerful countries count and where the majority of small, poor and less powerful countries – have to adjust to what the few and powerful dictate. It does not get less frightening that even though the developmental countries clearly expressed that they were unsatisfied with the Copenhagen Accord, this is not acknowledged by the Danish Prime ministries.  One cannot help but wonder if the Danish Prime ministries were even present at the COP15.

It started off so good when Denmark based on a Danish initiative in 2007 was appointed host for the climate summit. Denmark sold itself as the country that would build bridge between the gap of distrust between the poor and the rich countries. And Denmark have made a impressive, although very public effort towards showing their support of the development countries and the NGO’s preparations towards participating in the summit. But now the national score is being settled after the downfall of the COP15 and the so far secret evaluation report is addressing some important perspectives: It illustrates that the Danish Prime ministries and other central players most important criteria for success for the COP15, was to get a political eatable agreement between the powerful countries, rather than contributing definitely to solving the worlds problems with Global warming. The last bit of trust that the poor countries in general have had to the rich countries promises, whether on the matter of financial support, a fair global trade or a global agreement regarding the climate, was undermined during the COP15 process.

It does not look well for the trust that is vital for the continuation of the negotiation, that Denmark so openly went for derailing the Kyoto protocol, which is the only agreement, where the rich countries (minus The United States of America) obligate themselves to concrete downsizing of the CO2 outlet. The evaluation made by the Danish Prime ministries confirms that this was the Danish strategy and that this again was about getting the central players, The United States of America and the four BASIC-countries, Brazil, China, India and South Africa into an agreement. The evaluation report admits that the developmental countries wanted to keep the Kyoto protocol’s binding obligations, and it describes openly how the Copenhagen Accord was almost knitted together specifically for the industrial countries and the four big development countries to wiggle their way out of the binding obligations, against the wishes of the great majority of the development countries. In other words, the evaluation report is almost a case of confession: The purpose of the Copenhagen Accord was and still is to undermine the Kyoto protocol, that for the development countries is so important that the African countries on the Monday of the second week of negotiations of COP15, literally boycotted the negotiations, because there were not scheduled meetings in the groups that negotiate the Kyoto protocol. A detail bypassed in the Danish Prime ministries report.  The report can in general be read as a sad confirmation of the fact that the negotiators at the big climate summits seem to exist in so different worlds that it prevents any joint solution. If it really is so, will the game for money to climate adjustment be the test of: The supporters of the Copenhagen Accord often refer to the fact that there in the content of the accord, was a concrete promise of 10 billion Danish kroner every year from 2010 to 2012 to climate adjustment in the development countries. The money has to come fast and they have to be ‘new and additional’, meaning that they shouldn’t be financed by the development support already promised by the rich countries. For the development countries, the financial development support, is not support at all but actually compensation. It is money that the development countries have a right to and a demand of as settlement for the consequences of the climate changes that the countries are already experiencing, based on the contribution of the rich countries to the enormous CO2 outlet. Even so, the goal of reaching 10 billion Danish kroner this year, is going very slow. A great deal of the money is being taken from the already promised development support and is thus called development support.  This includes the 1.2 billion Danish kroner that the Danish government announced the 28. April, as a part of a new Danish climate packet 2010-12.  But it takes more to reinstate the momentum that, before the COP15 gave hope to a historic climate agreement.

Perspectives by Anna Brix Thomsen –

It is clear that the rich countries have no intent of actually stopping the climate crisis –The only place the leaders of the world are leading us, is directly towards a Global disaster and eventually the demise and destruction of our world – They are so lost in their greed for power and money, that they are willing to compromise and sacrifice the future of Earth in any way possible. This has to be stopped. Since there is no way possible for the poor countries to be voiced as the global political summits are completely invalidated, it is up to the people of especially the rich countries to voice their discontent – However not as a plead to the leaders of the world, as they have clearly proven themselves incapable of actually acting for what is Best for All. Instead it is our Responsibility to create new political, environmental, social and financial Solutions that actually Support All of Earth as a whole and to Stand together within the principle of Common Sense – that what is Best for All, is essentially best for each individually. Since the leaders of the world, are no longer in a position to take this Responsibility, it is up to each of us as Global citizens to ensure that action is being taken to Stop the current accepted policies. A Solution is the creation of a Global Equal Life Party that take back the Responsibility and Authority of leading this world from the incompetent political and financial leaders, to create Solutions that not only deals with the climate crisis that is currently threatening all of our lives, but also with the inequality that is evident and pathologically proven with this example of the Copenhagen climate summit. We propose the implementation of an Equal Money System that ensures that every child born in this world has a right to food, shelter, clean water and especially education that is so important, if we are to prevent what is happening now, from ever happening again. Ironically it is also evident from the COP15 that the people with most Common Sense, that actually cares for the future of this world, are the people in the poor and underdeveloped countries, who are also the ones currently suffering the consequences of the spree of greed by the rich countries – that refuses to take responsibility and come up with Solutions. A psychological profile of the rich countries, as presented in this article, would, if they were a suspect in a crime investigation on one of the American crime tv-show’s, be that of a neurotic, narcissistic, pathological liar with self-destructive tendencies and the task would be clear:  to be stopped, before more damage is done and more innocent lives are being exploited.

European Elitist Union

News report from an article in the Danish newspaper Politikken 05-May-2010 based on the research by an independent organization called subsidy.org on the agricultural support given by the European Union to farmers around Europe. In the research done in all the 27 European countries it is being revealed that the amount of checks given over more than 1 billon Euro has increased the last few years. These checks are specifically being given to big corporations in the dairy and sugar industries, which has been criticized as a way to keep the milk prices artificially high. Amongst those receiving this check are a Danish pool club, a Swedish Harmonica club and a Dutch ice skating club. Also the Danish Prince Joachim receives this support, even though he is also receiving a high salary for being prince of Denmark, by the Danish state and taxpayers. He owns a castle in the Southern Denmark, where he grows crops.
This is an outrageous example how companies and governments are merging to a point, where the two cannot be separated and it is the citizens of not only Europe, but of the whole world that is paying the price.
An Equality System with the foundation of Equal Money for All will prevent this from happening as it is based solely on the principle of what is Best for All.

In an interview with the Danish newspaper Information from the 24/25 April 2010, a Politician from the Socialistic Peoples party (S.F) called Özlem Cekic said that she wants the party to increase their focus on benefitting the mentally ill, the people who are on premature retirement and make decrease poverty.  She said: ‘We are not and should not be a party that just benefits the middleclass’. But is that not exactly what S.F are doing? One of the arguments is that they to get influence and thereby be able to support the poor, has to lean more towards the middle where the votes are to thereby reserve a place in the government. First of all it is directly throwing in the towel to wish to ‘decrease poverty’, in that it does not only imply an accept of the already existing poverty, but also settling with only taking partial responsibility, which could be argued as not taking responsibility at all. This is also shown in the party’s politics in this area in their program, where one of their initiatives to decrease poverty is to ensure that all children in Denmark get a Christmas present. This is a hypocritical approach to poverty as it completely overlooks the fact that there are over a billon people living in starvation, among who are many children. There are two explanations for why the party is choosing this strategy. One is the argument that to make a difference in this world, one has to first take care of ones own. The problem with that is just that the proportions are mildly put, ‘out of focus’. What is called poverty in Denmark, is called Elite or middleclass in countries where most people live for less than two dollars a day. There are two billon of those in the world. The other is the argument that the voters only care about themselves and want a politics that ensures that they can give their child a Christmas present. This is understandable, but not an excuse. The Socialistic Peoples party can not promote themselves as the ‘watchdog of the weak’, without  being clear about who the ‘weak’ actually are, and to target their politics where it counts, which is towards a global inequality and not only towards the individual Danish citizens right to safety and welfare. S.F has a responsibility to what is going on in the world, as do all politicians, but the question is if there is actual politics left in the party that for the last fifty years has been ‘fighting for the weak’, or if they simply exist as an automated pong to the ping politics of the right wing and thereby do not have any real intentions of making a difference. It sounds tough and it is not popular to say out loud, but the fact of the matter is that what is considered middle class in Denmark, is middle class in the rest of the world, where poverty is about starving till you die and not about whether or not you can buy your child a Christmas present. This is not to say that inequality is not relevant in Denmark or that the people who are poor I Denmark are not suffering. This is simply about addressing the fact that if we really want to change a world that is fundamentally based on inequality and exploitation by the rich of the poor, it requires a Global initiative that not only focuses on decreasing poverty, but on Stopping it all together, where we realize that we are a part of a whole with a common Responsibility, that includes the whole world and where political initiative is not only about increasing the individual’s personal happiness and wellbeing, but about creating a world that is acceptable to live in for All.

The Socialistic Peoples Party in Denmark, which is a leftwing libertarian party is becoming increasingly more popular, as the current government (right wing liberalists and conservatives) is being criticized for their handling of the economic crisis. The party started as a communist party and has changed course, especially with their acceptance of the European Union. They are now preparing to enter the government at the coming election and recently had their annual party meeting, where they discussed their party program.

Companies that Support Equality

Can the public sphere of politics, economy and legislation actually learn something from the way a business is being run? Most would say no – as corporations are on the front line when it comes to pollution, unequal work environments etc. And also as most of the corporations that exist, are solely focused on profit, however ‘green’ they might claim to be. But there are actually companies that are based on or developing new ways of working from a perspective of Equality. One of those companies is the very successful corporation behind the Gore-tex fabric. In this company there are no bosses or employees. Everyone working there are associates and are expected to take self-responsibility with regards to the work they are doing. This creates a unique work environment for everyone involved and their results are unprecedented. When discussing the foundation for creating a new political, social and financial system of Equality – a model like W.L Gore’s might be worthy considering. ‘Famous for tearing up the management rulebook, WL Gore operates without bosses in an environment where trust, freedom and innovation are prized. Little surprise then that the hi-tech pioneer’s staff are so loyal’ ‘In 2009, for the twelfth consecutive year, W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc. earned a position on Fortune magazine’s annual list of the U.S. “100 Best Companies to Work For.”[6] Its European operations have also earned similar honors. Gore UK has been named seven times by London’s The Sunday Times as one of the “Best Companies to Work For.”[7] In 2009, Gore Germany ranked eighth in the “100 Best Places to Work in Germany” among mid-sized companies.[8] Gore Italy ranked sixth among the “35 Best Places to Work in Italy.”[9] Gore France topped the list of “Best Workplaces in France”[10] while Gore Scandinavia ranked fourth among small companies on the list of “Best Workplaces in Sweden.”[11] Gore was listed 12th on the “50 Best Large Workplaces in Europe 2009.”[12] An important factor in this recognition is Gore’s unique culture, which evolved from the company’s success with small teams during its early years. This approach to business was based on Bill Gore’s experience with “task force teams” while he was employed at the DuPont Company. Such groups were formed at DuPont on an ad hoc basis to attack problem situations. They were usually multidisciplinary and typically operated for short periods of time outside of the company’s formal management hierarchy. Bill Gore first presented the concept of a “lattice” organization to Gore associates in 1967. He later refined his ideas and presented what he termed “culture principles” in a paper entitled “The Lattice Organization – A Philosophy of Enterprise.” It was distributed to Gore associates in 1976.[13] Unlike the traditional management structure that Bill Gore had experienced at DuPont, he proposed a flat, lattice-like organizational structure where everyone shares the same title of “associate.” There are neither chains of command nor predetermined channels of communication. Leaders replace the idea of “bosses.” Associates choose to follow leaders rather than have bosses assigned to them. Associate contribution reviews are based on a peer-level rating system. Bill Gore articulated four culture principles that he called freedom, fairness, commitment and waterline: * Associates have the freedom to encourage, help, and allow other associates to grow in knowledge, skill, and scope of responsibility * Associates should demonstrate fairness to each other and everyone with whom they come in contact * Associates are provided the ability to make one’s own commitments and are expected to keep them * A waterline situation involves consultation with other associates before undertaking actions that could impact the reputation or profitability of the company and otherwise “sink the ship.” In the lattice organization, associates are encouraged to communicate directly with each other and are accountable to fellow members of their teams. Hands-on product innovation and prototyping are encouraged. Teams typically organize around opportunities, new product concepts, or businesses. As teams evolve, leaders frequently emerge as they gain followership. This unusual organizational structure and culture has been shown to be a significant contributor to associate satisfaction and retention.[14]’
