Long after our own civilisation has exhausted itself, future archaeologists, or whatever scrappy survivors pick through the ruins, will stare up at the decaying skeletons of wind turbines and the vast, crumbling fields of solar panels and wonder what on earth we were thinking. According to a recent piece in the Daily Sceptic, these "renewable" ener...
While much of the world scrolls past headlines about distant conflicts, a perfect storm is gathering in global energy markets. Michael Snyder's recent Substack post (link below), paints a stark picture: global oil inventories are scraping the bottom after months of drawdowns, key shipping chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz face renewed threats f...
I looked at The Blaze article (link below), with a mix of curiosity and scepticism. The title alone: "Paralyzed in the Dark: The Ancient Demonic Attack Science Calls Sleep Paralysis," pulls you in with that classic blend of the eerie and the eternal. Rick Burgess and others dive into stories of shadowy figures, crushing chest pressure, and helpless...
The decision by the United States State Department to issue a worldwide travel caution for American citizens is not something done lightly. Such warnings are reserved for periods when governments believe that the international security environment has become significantly more dangerous and unpredictable. The latest advisory reflects Washington's a...
Australia is charging headlong into a new industrial revolution, or so the hype goes. Data centres, the humming cathedrals of the AI age, are sprouting across the country as governments and investors chase the next big thing in the digital economy. Billions are being promised, land is being rezoned, and politicians are falling over themselves to br...
For years, Australian policymakers and urban planners comforted themselves with a tidy demographic story. As the Baby Boomers aged and their children left home, these empty-nesters would naturally downsize. They would trade their large family homes, those sprawling four-bedroom houses with backyards in the suburbs, for compact apartments or townhou...
Dr. Mehmet Oz's recent spotlight on Chinese crime syndicates allegedly milking New York's Medicaid program wasn't hyperbole, it was a snapshot of a sophisticated, borderless criminal machine treating generous Western welfare states as open ATMs. In neighbourhoods like Flushing, Queens, clusters of adult day-care centres and pharmacies, many caterin...
There's something almost alchemical about the word "art." Speak it in certain circles, and otherwise rational adults undergo a curious transformation. Critical faculties dissolve. Wallets open. Eyes glaze over with solemn reverence for things that would have provoked laughter or disgust in saner times. A naked man slathering himself in Vaseline whi...
Lurking in the corridors of power across the West, a quiet panic has taken hold. The old tools of governance, policy delivery, tangible results, even basic competence, have been largely abandoned. What remains is something more insidious and fragile: the relentless effort to control the narrative. Politicians, bureaucrats, legacy media, and institu...
A new poll reported by Breitbart has sent ripples through European politics: Marine Le Pen would comfortably beat any opponent in a French presidential election! After years of demonisation, legal warfare, and establishment panic, the leader of National Rally appears to be on the verge of a historic breakthrough. France is in trouble. Deep trouble....
Every few weeks another article appears promising to reveal the secret habits of history's greatest thinkers. One recent article listed six characteristics supposedly shared by the wisest people who ever lived. While the advice was sensible enough, it struck me that the real lessons can be stated even more clearly. The first habit is to simplify. C...
Back pain is one of the most common afflictions on the planet, a leading cause of disability that touches hundreds of millions of lives. Yet for something so widespread, modern medicine often fumbles it badly. Patients enter a frustrating cycle of short visits, quick prescriptions, imaging that confuses more than clarifies, and escalation toward ev...
History will judge the years 2020–2022 as one of the greatest policy catastrophes of modern times. The decision by governments across the world, including Australia, to impose unprecedented lockdowns on their own citizens was not just an overreaction. It was a deliberate abandonment of centuries of public health wisdom, civil liberties, and basic h...
Pakistan has blamed Britain for "grooming" and "spoiling" the ringleader of the Rochdale rape gang and turning him to crime, claiming he has "no connection to Pakistan whatsoever". The Telegraph has more. Tahir Andrabi, the country's Foreign Office Spokesman, suggested that the root causes of Pakistan-born Shabir Ahmed's criminality lay in the UK, ...
Everyone has an explanation for the surge of Pauline Hanson's One Nation party: immigration, cost of living, housing shortages, distrust of politicians. All of those factors matter. But they don't fully explain why this is happening now, and why One Nation specifically is the vehicle capturing the discontent. The deeper story is bigger than Austral...
Senator Marco Rubio recently hosted an international conference highlighting a disturbing reality: Left-wing terrorism is not a relic of the 1970s Weather Underground era. It is resurgent, organised, and increasingly willing to use violence to achieve political ends. For years, Western governments and media have downplayed or ignored this thr...
The race for artificial intelligence supremacy just took a dangerous turn. According to concerns raised by senior U.S. officials, China may have acquired one of the most critical pieces of technology on the planet: an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machine, the highly advanced tool required to manufacture the most cutting-edge semiconductors...
Nation First warns that while nobody is reading your messages yet, a system that could, is already built, and Canberra is about to extend it. Most Australians still believe a private message is private. They send something to the family group chat, email the accountant, upload a passport scan or medical document to the cloud, then carry on wi...
There is a simple reason why the US Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act) faces such hysterical opposition from Democrats and their allies: because only those who benefit from cheating have any reason to fear it. The SAVE Act is not complicated. It simply requires proof of U.S. citizenship, a passport, birth certificate, or natu...
A few days ago my sons were welding in the shed with music playing loudly in the background. One song came on with a female artist repeatedly singing some version of, "We should be sexual." It stopped me in my tracks. When I was growing up, that kind of direct, casual invitation from women in popular music was almost unheard of. Sexual attraction c...
