A borderless battlefield for expression: in an era where digital platforms transcend national boundaries, the tension between online safety and free speech has escalated into a geopolitical flashpoint. Australia's Online Safety Act (OSA) of 2021, enforced by the eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant, exemplifies this clash. What began as a domesti...

November 14, 2025, in a Berlin briefing that could double as a corporate motivational seminar, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius assures the nation: "There is no cause for concern, no cause for fear." The occasion? A shiny new coalition bill greenlighting "needs-based" conscription to bulk up the Bundeswehr into Europe's beefiest conventional...

A fresh Ipsos poll drops a quiet bombshell: Sixty-three percent of Britons believe their country was happier fifty years ago, in the gritty groove of 1975, compared to a measly twelve percent who think the sun shines brighter today. On safety, the verdict is even starker, sixty percent say the streets felt secure back when ABBA topped the charts, v...

If you really want to counter the chaos grifters of the political left in the US, then you have to be willing to offer a coherent and consistent plan which dissolves the chaos they thrive on. Planning eases instability. Consistency defeats confusion. Clarity squashes disorder. The public needs to see a comprehensive list of standards, actions and g...

Imagine a world where your next meal could actually protect your brain, stave off dementia, and keep your mind as sharp at 75 as it was at 55. This isn't science fiction, it's the promise of the MIND diet, a scientifically validated approach to preserving cognitive health that is fast becoming the gold standard in brain nutrition. Recent research, ...

Elon Musk isn't just building rockets and EVs – he's sounding the alarm on the one threat that could actually end us: population collapse. "Population collapse due to low birth rates is a much bigger risk to civilization than global warming," he tweeted in 2022, and he's doubled down ever since. In August 2025, he called it a "slow-motion collapse,...

We've long joked about the "zombie scroll" — endless TikToks, Reels, and Shorts hypnotising youth into digital stupor. But a new Griffith University meta-analysis suggests the joke might be closer to reality than we feared. Across 71 studies and nearly 100,000 participants, researchers have found a consistent pattern of cognitive harm from heavy co...

Here I must differ a bit from previous takes on the coming of Civil War 2.0. November 21, 2025, the air in America crackles with a tension thicker than the smoke from Portland's burning ICE vans. Polls scream apocalypse: a June 2025 Rasmussen survey found 41% of Americans – a plurality – now believe a second civil war is "likely within the next dec...

In 2012, the academic world lost its collective mind over a study that "proved" science is a vicious boys' club. Professors were sent identical CVs – one named "John," one named "Jennifer" – and supposedly rated the male version as more competent, more hireable, and worth thousands more in salary. Yes, that's academic research. The paper exploded: ...

At long last, a whisper of sanity echoes from an unexpected quarter: the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. In a statement adopted at their Fall Plenary Assembly in Baltimore on November 13, 2025, the bishops finally acknowledged what any clear-eyed observer has known for years, nations have not just a legal right, but a moral duty, to regulate b...

Australia is now the most "studentified" nation on earth. As of November 2025, one in every 31 people living in this country is either a current or recently expired international student – 3.2 % of the entire population and still climbing. That is higher than Canada (2.4 %), higher than the UK (1.3 %), higher than the United States (0.6 %). We are ...

In recent weeks, Joe Rogan has sparked renewed debate about the state of the United States, claiming on The Joe Rogan Experience that the nation is now at what he calls "step seven" on the road to civil war. For Rogan, the warning is not abstract: it is grounded in what he sees as a moral and cultural shift in the country. The tipping point, in his...

The UN is not merely incompetent. It is structurally, morally, and philosophically incapable of fulfilling the mission it was given in 1945. By 2025 the verdict is unanimous, from the White House to the average taxpayer: the organisation has become the single greatest obstacle to genuine international cooperation. Its funeral has already been sched...

Western civilisation faces an existential crossroads. According to Bradley A. Thayer (link bellow), the past several decades have seen a growing disconnect between the elites who govern and the populations whose societies they are meant to represent. In Australia, Canada, Europe, and the United States, political leaders have pursued policies that m...

For half a century the West lived under a secular religion called "catastrophic anthropogenic global warming." Its commandments were carved in granite: Thou shalt not question the 1.5 °C red line Thou shalt pay trillions for windmills and solar panels Thou shalt accept that coal, oil and gas are the devil's molecules Thou shalt atone with net-zero ...

Professor John J. Mearsheimer, a leading voice in international relations, has painted a bleak picture for Europe in a recent address to the European Parliament. According to Mearsheimer, the Ukraine war is not an isolated crisis, it is the latest manifestation of a deeper structural problem: the end of unipolarity and the rise of a multipolar worl...

When we discuss the history of slavery, the Atlantic slave trade often dominates the conversation. Yet another, far longer, and deeply consequential slave system, the Arab-Islamic slave trade, spanned over 1,300 years, from the 7th to the 20th century, and affected millions of Africans. Historical estimates suggest that between 17 and 20 million Af...

You've probably caught wind of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal through the global echo chamber. But let's cut through the tall poppy syndrome and the Yank drama: this isn't just another Hollywood-style conspiracy flick. It's a raw, bipartisan gut-punch to the elite class, and right now, it's exploding stateside with implications that could ripple to Au...

The recent revelations about Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old who attempted to assassinate then-candidate Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024, have thrust an unlikely online subculture into the spotlight: the "furries." This community, centred around anthropomorphic animal characters (often with erotic or fetishi...

A recent Stanford study is turning a long-held assumption on its head: rather than always increasing cancer risk, very advanced age might somehow suppress cancer. If true, it's a provocative twist, a "silver lining" to aging, but also one that brings more questions than clear answers. What the Scientists Actually Found In a new experiment, research...
