Is the Modern State Competent to Defend Itself and the People It Represents?

The modern liberal-democratic state claims a monopoly on legitimate violence and a duty to protect its citizens, territory, and way of life. Yet across the West, from Europe to North America to Australia, it presides over policies that accelerate the demographic and cultural replacement of its historic populations. Is this competence, or something ...

Angus Taylor’s One Nation Freakout: The Uniparty’s Hypocrisy in Action

Angus Taylor, the Liberal Opposition Leader, has delivered a pointed attack on Pauline Hanson's One Nation, framing its policies as a reckless plan to "fix" Australia by "blowing it up."

When Public Figures Cry Hostility: The Real Harassment and the Deeper Causes

 Western Australia's Premier Roger Cook has joined a growing chorus of politicians warning about an "increasingly hostile environment" for public figures, largely blaming social media for amplifying abuse, threats, and intimidation.

ABC’s Climate Blame Game: Excusing Child Marriage in Asia While Ignoring Cultural Realities

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation, that bastion of multicultural relativism and taxpayer-funded progressive orthodoxy, has outdone itself with a recent piece claiming climate change is now a "major driver" of child marriages across Asia and the Pacific. According to the July 10, 2026, ABC report, the growing intensity of natural disasters, am...

The Globalist Elite as Bond Villains: Blofeld, Goldfinger, and the Spectre of the New World Order

 In the classic James Bond films, the villains were never subtle. They were megalomaniacal billionaires and shadowy technocrats who operated from luxurious lairs, spoke in calm, condescending tones, and pursued grandiose plans for global domination. They didn't want mere wealth, they wanted control. They saw ordinary people as pawns, nations a...

The Swedish Syndrome Goes Global: Western National Self-Destruction Hidden Behind Moral Grandstanding

Sweden has become the clearest case study of what Karl-Olov Arnstberg diagnoses in his book The Swedish Syndrome: How Elites Commit National Self-Destruction as an "identity-based social psychosis" or "cultural self-harm." A once highly homogeneous nation has been transformed through elite-driven multiculturalism into a society with dramatically hi...

In these Dark Times, Dealing with Psycho-Political Despair

Caitlin Johnstone argues that the cure for despair lies in recovering a sense of awe and wonder. There is much truth in that. A person absorbed by the beauty of a sunset, the immensity of the stars or the intricacy of a flower often finds their anxieties temporarily recede. Wonder reminds us that reality is larger than our immediate troubles. Yet a...

The COVID Reckoning That Never Came And the Silence That Proves the Psyop, By Ed Dowd

Over the last several years I have been posting nonstop on X about the same nightmares we've been living through…the COVID psyop, the experimental mRNA shots, the mandates that destroyed lives, the injuries, the excess deaths, and the relentless propaganda machine that tried to silence anyone who noticed the bodies piling up. I have watched it all ...

China Views Western Socialists as Ideological Fellow Travelers: “Useful Idiots” in Great Power Competition

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) operates with cold strategic realism. It is not a socialist utopia but a Han-centric, authoritarian superpower pursuing national rejuvenation, technological supremacy, and regional dominance. Yet it often treats segments of the American and broader Western Left, particularly those pushing radical identity politics,...

Defeating Killer Drones: Lessons from Striped Russian Trucks

The Ukraine war has repeatedly overturned assumptions about modern warfare. Tanks worth millions of dollars have been destroyed by drones costing only hundreds. Expensive electronic warfare systems have been outwitted by simple fibre-optic cables. Now comes another surprise: one of the latest countermeasures against AI-guided drones may be nothing ...

The Strait of Hormuz Closed Once More: There Is No End to This!

The news from the New York Post is grim but familiar: Iran claims to have closed the Strait of Hormuz after firing on a container ship, issuing fresh warnings of severe retaliation. Once again, the narrow chokepoint through which roughly 20-30% of global seaborne oil passes sits at the centre of escalation. Tanker traffic, insurance rates, and oil ...

Adverse Possession Part 1: When the Law Rewards the Possessor Rather Than the Paper Owner

One of the most surprising doctrines in Australian property law is adverse possession, sometimes referred to in popular language as "squatters' rights." To many people it appears almost unbelievable. How, they ask, can someone lose ownership of land simply because another person has occupied it for many years? Surely a registered title should be ab...

Adverse Possession Part 2: Does Property Exist Because of Legal Title, or because of Possession and Productive Use?

The doctrine of adverse possession, introduced in part 1, raises a question far deeper than boundary fences and limitation periods. It asks what property actually is. Does ownership arise because a government records your name on a certificate of title? Or does it arise because you possess, maintain, improve and productively use the land? These two...

Disturbing Claims About Flavour Enhancers and Aborted Foetal Cell Lines: The Ethics of “Natural Flavours”

A recent report from The Vigilant Fox has reignited controversy in the US over the hidden origins of flavour enhancers in everyday processed foods, raising uncomfortable questions about whether US consumers are unknowingly complicit in research derived from aborted foetal tissue. Some flavour compounds developed through this type of research have b...

EU Mass Electronic Surveillance: Democracy Denied in Plain Sight

The European Union has once again demonstrated its remarkable ability to bypass democratic resistance in pursuit of greater control over its citizens' private communications. In a recent episode that should alarm anyone concerned with civil liberties, the European Parliament effectively imposed an extension of the bloc's mass electronic surveillanc...

What Modern Diets May Have Forgotten: The Collagen Question

Nutrition advice has become remarkably good at telling us what to avoid. We are warned about excessive sugar, processed foods, trans fats, alcohol, and excess calories. Over the decades, fat has been condemned and partly rehabilitated, eggs have moved from dietary villain to respectable food, and carbohydrates have alternated between essential fuel...

The Multi-Hazard Probabilistic Theory of Civilisational Collapse; Or: The Live Round Under the Hammer View

The enduring question of why civilisations collapse has generated numerous influential theories. Oswald Spengler portrayed civilisations as organic entities progressing through life cycles of birth, maturity, decline, and death. Arnold Toynbee argued that civilisations flourish or fail according to how successfully they respond to challenges, with ...

The Paradox of Modernity: Lee Kuan Yew’s Unfinished Miracle and the Unsolved Birth Dearth Problem

Lee Kuan Yew (LKY) built one of the most extraordinary success stories in modern history. Expelled from the Malaysian Federation in 1965, Singapore stood as a vulnerable, resource-poor island plagued by unemployment, slums, and racial tensions. Through disciplined governance, meritocracy, anti-corruption drives, strategic openness to global capital...

The Really Surprising News Would Be If Iran did NOT Wanted to Assassinate Trump!

Joe McCarthy was Not Wrong: The Red Scare That Underestimated the Long March through the Institutions

Senator Joseph McCarthy remains one of the most reviled figures in modern American history, the very symbol of paranoid witch-hunting and reckless accusation. The term "McCarthyism" has become shorthand for baseless persecution, career destruction, and anti-intellectual hysteria. Yet a growing body of historical reassessment suggests the convention...
