About Greenland

We are unfortunate to live in an era defined by tyrants. It is a sad world still echoing with the consequences of colonialism—a history that should have taught us that domination is rarely worth the cost.

The story begins with the pursuit of liberty. Greenland was discovered and settled by Icelanders around the year 1000 AD. These Icelanders were themselves refugees, fleeing the oppressive feudal systems of the Nordic kingdoms to seek freedom. Upon settling Iceland, they rejected autocracy and established the Althing at Thingvellir—the first parliament in the world.

These ethnic Icelanders pushed further west to discover America (Vinland). They did not persist there—perhaps the allure of the wild grapes and alcohol was strong, but the hostility of the new land was stronger. Nor did they persist in Greenland forever; their eventual disappearance was not merely due to the cold, but likely due to centuries of unusual dryness and economic isolation that made their way of life unsustainable.

Historically, Greenland was effectively an extension of Iceland. However, both nations eventually lost their sovereignty, forced into unions with the Norwegian and later Danish crowns. A critical historical oversight occurred at the end of World War II. When Iceland severed its ties with Denmark to become a fully independent republic in 1944, Greenland was left behind. In the shuffle of post-war bureaucracy—and perhaps due to American strategic interests in keeping a foothold in the Arctic—it was forgotten that Greenland should naturally have been part of the new, independent Iceland package.

Today, Greenlanders—a distinct people formed from the blend of Inuit heritage and European history—see themselves as independent spirits. They share a deep kinship with their North Atlantic neighbors: Iceland, Canada, Norway, and Denmark.

Geographically, the reality is clear: Greenland sits firmly on the North American tectonic plate, as does half of Iceland. Yet, politically and culturally, they look toward Europe.

There is absolutely no need for Greenland to be purchased or annexed by the United States for "defense purposes." The United States must realize that other nations should not have to pay for American security with their own sovereignty. The U.S. must pay for its own defense without relying on seizing the oil or rare earth minerals of other countries. To suggest otherwise is nothing short of racketeering.

If the United States truly opposes the rise of authoritarianism, it must act logically. With a yearly defense budget exceeding $1 trillion, the U.S. contribution to the defense of Ukraine has been a mere pittance. This is a waste of resources. Rather than hoarding budget for a hypothetical war, the U.S. should be effectively supporting democracy now. Isolationism only emboldens enemies like Russia and China. It makes far more sense to foster genuine alliances with NATO and Europe than to have the world view the U.S. as an unreliable partner—or worse, a runaway tyranny itself.

While the world watches Ukraine, Russia has been on a quiet march, expanding its influence and taking over nations across the Global South: Sudan (backing both sides), the Central African Republic, Mali, Niger, parts of Libya, and they were on track in Venezuela. These movements are documented on our website: https://hotel-rwanda.com

Regarding Venezuela, something desperately needed to be done, though at the time of writing, it remains unclear if the recent intervention is a helping hand or merely the arrival of another evil.

It would be sheer madness for Greenlanders to entrust their sovereignty to the United States given Washington’s track record of neglecting and exploiting its own peripheral territories. One need only look at the treatment of Puerto Rico, or the broken treaties with Native American nations, to see how the U.S. treats those it considers "strategic assets" rather than partners. This disregard extends even to its own costal workforce; take, for instance, a working-class fishing community (Newport, Oregon) that finds itself forced to host a controversial ICE detention center without ever being asked, while the very search-and-rescue helicopter relied upon for the safety of their industry is taken away. If the United States treats its own citizens with such indifference to their local consent and basic safety, Greenlanders have every reason to assume they would become nothing more than a military outpost, their culture and needs utterly ignored.

We will continue our fight for democracy and a better world. Please help our cause.

An Invitation to Build: The Geometry of Change

Why solving the riddle of the past is the only way to build the future.

By Siggi Magnusson
Founder, Charitable Institute (Iceland & Switzerland)

We wrote this book because we believe the world is suffering from a profound crisis of imagination.

All around us, across every border and culture, we see a rising tide of quiet despair. It is a feeling that our systems are broken, that our challenges—from climate change to economic inequality—are too complex to be solved, and that our leadership has exhausted its ideas. It is a slow, creeping erosion of the most essential human fuel: hope.

This is not a partisan issue. It is the shared, human experience of living in a world that feels increasingly irrational, unfair, and out of control. It is the unsettling feeling that we are living in a society that is slowly, systematically designing away the very things that make life worth living: purpose, connection, and truth.

But what if the despair comes from a simple error? What if we feel lost simply because we are reading the map wrong?

The Philosophy of the Audit

My life’s work is based on a single principle: The Audit.

Whether I am looking at the economy of a nation, the suffering of a community, or the rotation of the Earth itself, I apply Radical Common Sense. I look for the mechanical truth hidden underneath the dogma.

• When we audited the cosmos, we found that the universe is not a chaotic explosion, but a structured, rational system.

• When we looked at the suffering of women in East Africa at www-somalia.com, we didn't just offer pity; we built a 35-chapter educational audiobook curriculum in 15 languages to change the cultural logic at the root.

• When we established our centers at Charitable.Institute (in the volcanic energy of Iceland) and charitable-institute.org (in the neutral clarity of Switzerland), we committed to creating a neutral ground for rigorous thinking.

Now, we are turning that audit toward the Earth itself.

The Greenland Axis

This book, hosted at www-greenland.com, presents a theory that challenges our fundamental understanding of history.

We are told the Ice Age ended slowly and mysteriously. Common sense suggests something more visceral. This book proposes that 12,000 years ago, the Earth's geographic North Pole was not in the Arctic Ocean. It was in South Greenland.

The physical scars on our planet—the distribution of ice sheets, the sudden extinction of megafauna, the impossible climate data of the past—all align when you accept that the Earth Shifted.

Why does this matter? Why should a humanitarian institution care about the axis of the Earth 12,000 years ago?

Because if we do not understand the mechanism of our planet's past, we cannot model its future. If we rely on broken theories to explain climate history, we will rely on broken theories to survive climate change. To build a resilient civilization, we must first understand the ground we stand on.

The Antidote to Despair

The goal of this book—and indeed the goal of all our work at the Charitable Institute—is to offer a direct and powerful antidote to despair.

We prove that problems are not unsolvable.

• FGM is not permanent.

• The paradoxes of Physics are not magic.

• The history of Earth is not a mystery.

We are not doomed to choose between the chaotic populism of the past and the managed decline of the present. There is a third way. A path of systemic, first-principles thinking.

This book is not a fantasy. It is a blueprint. It is an argument that a better, fairer, and more functional understanding of our world is not just possible, but is waiting to be found.

It is an act of defiance against the tyranny of hopelessness. It is an invitation to hope again—not with blind faith, but with the confidence of an engineer who finally holds the correct plans.

Welcome to the true history of our world.
