The happiest people in the world?

COPENHAGEN 2009 | 26.10.2009 14:12 | Analysis | Climate Chaos | Social Struggles

In a Oprah show regarding Denmark and the Danish society from October 2009, the Danes is presented as the “the most happy people in the world”! In the 20 minutes show reel the Danish society is presented as an almost paradise on earth.

To be short; that is a lot of bullocks! The Danish society is no “paradise”. Just
ask the Muslim population group, the many unemployed, the homeless, and other thousands that get kicked out of there rented homes because they can’t pay the rent!

They don’t earn enough money to pay for it and other expenses there is to living. In many cases families end on the naked street with there children and no place to go. Because of the present right-wing-radical-George-Bush-loving government, severe budget cut dawns has been made to the social benefit system. Or what is left of it.

The Lars Løkke Rasmussen government is following the neo-liberal economic ideology of Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and Milton Friedman. They don’t care about the unemployed, the poor, the homeless, the sick and groups alike in the Danish society.

Denmark is, like the USA, the UK, Germany, Italy etc. a capitalist class soci-ety, and in 2009, the differences, because of years with public budget-cut-dawn politics (expect fore the military campaign in Iraq and Afghanistan, off course), the economic, cultural and other differences between the classes and people living in Denmark is apocalyptic.

The difference between family households in the luxury Copenhagen subur-ban areas like Hellerup, Charlottenlund, Klampenborg, Trødrød, Rungsted Kyst and the others living in the concrete ghettos in Ishøj etc. are like the distance between Earth and the Moon! They drive Bentley and Porsche, and the others have to use run dawn public transport, that only runs half of the time. If you get sick with cancer in Denmark the likelihood of NOT surviving your disease is big!

Again; due to long period of time cut dawns on the public health care system there aren’t enough hospitals, cancer-specialist, and other facilities. But, if you have the right job, age and background you might have a private health care insurance (offered by the private Danish insurance companies like “Co-dan”, “Tryg” and others) and then you can have treatment in the private sec-tor or travel to Germany, UK or the USA!

Furthermore; the Danish governments “climate enthusiasm” is of very new date and can only be described as window dressing for domestic Danish use and to help the USA and the US leadership.

The Danish government, whether its headed by Mr Fogh Rasmussen (presently NATO general secretary by the “good” help of George W. Bush and Barack Omaba etc.) or Mr. Lars Løkke are prepared to “play the Washington D.C.” game with regard to a climate treaty in Copenhagen in December 2009. In other words: a treaty that is custom tailored to the needs and demands of the US oil industry and other commercial interest of the US.

Sorry USA, the Oprah show reel about Denmark is PROPAGANDA of a kind you only would se in Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich and it reminds almost of the Nazi propaganda film regarding the Theresienstadt concentration camp in the 1940ties. The Nazis portrayed the camp as a “paradise for Jews and gipsies” with no problems and no bad treatment.

And because of this, there is a severe chance of COPENHAGEN DECEMBER 2009 will end with a very narrow and “no use” treaty! The climate and the globe will suffer and in the end; mankind.
