A recent piece in American Greatness titled "Standing Athwart Despair: The Case for Cheerful Conservatism" (link below), captures something vital that many on the Right have felt but struggled to articulate. In an age of institutional decay, cultural erosion, economic pressures, and elite betrayal, it is tempting to surrender to gloom. Doomscrollin...
The UK's official Covid Inquiry was supposed to deliver a thorough and independent examination of how Britain navigated the pandemic. Instead, it stands accused of doing what so many official processes have done since 2020: carefully curating the evidence to protect the dominant narrative, particularly around the vaccines. Reports suggest that mate...
For years now, the official line after every contested election, particularly in the United States, has been that there is "zero evidence" of meaningful fraud. This claim is repeated with absolute certainty by officials, major media outlets, and tech platforms. It has become a comforting mantra for those who benefit from the status quo. But as the ...
For more than half a century, one of the dominant ideas in medicine has been the cholesterol hypothesis. In its simplest form, the theory proposes that elevated LDL cholesterol is a principal cause of atherosclerosis, which in turn leads to heart attacks and strokes. This hypothesis has shaped dietary guidelines, public health campaigns and the pre...
If you are American [or Australian] then you are unlikely to have heard of Ann Widdecombe. She was a Conservative (junior) Minister for Prisons in the 1990s and Shadow Home Secretary until 2001, before re-inventing herself as a political commentator, television hostess and senior activist in Nigel Farage's Reform Party. But she was so much more tha...
Here in the heart of a continent quietly slipping away from its historic peoples, a young Dutch woman has stepped forward with a message that many consider too blunt for polite company. Eva Vlaardingerbroek, legal philosopher, commentator, and driving force behind the Save Europe Act, delivers speeches that cut through the euphemisms. In one recent...
"Sweden Democrat Maria Rosander says tougher laws have curbed shootings in Uppsala, but parallel societies, clan networks and Islamist influence remain entrenched. A veteran Swedish police officer says tougher criminal laws have sharply improved security in Uppsala, but warns that Islamization and parallel social structures now pose a deeper long-t...
Yemen's Ansarullah (Houthis) have announced a maritime embargo against Saudi Arabia, declaring a naval blockade on Saudi ports in the Red Sea. The move, framed as an "eye for an eye" response to what the group calls a Saudi "oppressive siege" on Yemen, includes threats to target vessels loading or discharging cargo at Saudi facilities. Reports indi...
Political violence is not new to the West, nor is it the exclusive domain of any single ideology. History is littered with assassinations, bombings, and targeted killings from anarchists, nationalists, religious extremists, and both ends of the political spectrum. What makes a contemporary claim, that there is a discernible "rise of Left-wing slayi...
This issue cuts to the heart of a quiet but consequential shift: what happens when a determination of exposure to a biological or chemical threat rests not on a swab that still contains the agent, a residue that can be independently assayed, or a symptom that a physician can observe, but on an algorithm comparing a person's epigenetic profile again...
Civilisations rarely die from a single external blow. More often they hollow out from within, the structural beams quietly chewed away until a roof that looked solid suddenly sags. Our Aussie image of white ants, termites working unseen in the wood, is apt for the claim that the West is being eaten not just by unassimilated outsiders, but by forces...
One of the oldest truths of war is that its first casualty is truth. Governments routinely claim that operations are proceeding as planned, casualties are light, and victory is near. Only later, sometimes years or decades later, does the fuller, often messier picture emerge. Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, and countless earlier wars have taught us this...
Science fiction writer, Philip K. Dick's warning about disinformation and the erasure of shared reality remains one of the sharpest diagnoses of modern information warfare. The line attributed to him: "if you can float enough disinformation into circulation you will totally abolish everyone's contact with reality, probably your own included," captu...
The Office for Equality and Opportunity has reportedly pushed hard for greater representation of LGBT individuals and ethnic minorities on British banknotes. According to the Daily Sceptic, this drive continues a pattern of prioritising identity politics over historical merit, national cohesion, or public sentiment. While the campaigners frame it a...
A new study highlighted by Report24 (linked below), delivers yet another blow to the romantic Leftist narrative surrounding industrial wind power. Far from being a gentle, clean source of energy, large-scale wind farms are measurably heating up the local environment, particularly at night. The findings are straightforward and physics-based. Wind tu...
While Europe confronts the visible consequences of decades of mass migration and plummeting native birth rates, similar patterns are playing out across the Western world, including in Australia. The "two minutes to midnight" warning issued by Eva Vlaardingerbroek and the Save Europe Act campaign, discussed today at the blog, resonates far beyond th...
"The Left's goal is always to break human reason, because once you break human reason, then people will believe anything, they will do anything, and they can be completely controlled." Elizabeth Nickson The claim is blunt and uncomfortable: segments of the contemporary Left appear intent on breaking human reason itself. Not merely disagreeing with ...
I believe the article in American Thinker (linked below) is right, even if it makes many uncomfortable. Women should not serve as front-line police officers or in combat roles in the military (all other roles are fine), and society would be healthier if we restored meaningful adultery laws. This isn't about hatred of women or nostalgia for the 1950...
For years, Australia has watched its housing crisis deepen while policymakers offered familiar excuses and half-measures. High migration driving demand, restrictive planning laws choking supply, and a political class seemingly unwilling to make hard choices. Across the Pacific, Canada has begun to confront a similar problem with refreshing honesty,...
Back in 1973, the world learned a harsh lesson about energy dependence. The OPEC oil embargo triggered economic chaos across the West: stagflation, long queues at petrol stations, and a painful reckoning with the fragility of modern industrial society. China, largely isolated and still reeling from the Cultural Revolution, largely escaped the...
