The war involving Iran, Israel and the United States has entered a particularly dangerous phase, one in which the destruction of critical infrastructure could have consequences extending far beyond the Middle East. One of the most pessimistic assessments comes from Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi, an Iranian-American academic at the University of ...

Andrea Shaw faces first-degree murder charges (with prosecutors seeking the death penalty) in the May 2025 deaths of her 18-month-old twins; she has pleaded not guilty and maintains they died from a post-vaccination reaction. This differs sharply from Lindsay Clancy's case in both the claimed facts and the likely political/cultural response, as the...

France has just lived through one of its most destructive weekends in years. Nationwide demonstrations over the cost of living and school conditions drew roughly 550,000 people (government figure; organizers higher). Large numbers marched without violence. Separately, masked groups in black, often described as ultra-Left or opportunistic, torched c...

They've told us that ethnic cleansing against whites in South Africa isn't happening. They say it's a racist conspiracy theory. Leon Lotz knows they're lying. He's a South African farmer. His story will shock and sicken you. Leon Lotz is a South African farmer and former military serviceman whose family survived a series of brutal farm attacks. In ...

       A country can change its electorate by law faster than it changes its schools, wages, or trust. A republic is not held together by its laws alone. It is held together by who owns the surplus, who bears the children, and which population remains numerous enough to staff the institutions those laws name. The republic is not...

Western Europe chose national suicide through bureaucratic paralysis and open borders. The American republic now stands on the exact precipice of that civilizational collapse. Across Britain and France, central governments abandoned the most basic duty of the nation-state: the defense of sovereign borders. Decades of unchecked entry, lax law enforc...

Newly released diary entries from Anthony Fauci, covering 2015–2019 and made public by Senator Rand Paul, document a pattern of private reservations, political judgments, and institutional caution that sat alongside the public role of the long-serving National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director. The pages do not rewrite the scien...

Benjamin Franklin famously observed that nothing in life was certain except death and taxes. Under the Albanese Labor government's latest taxation proposals, the two certainties threaten to become even more closely connected. A controversial plan to impose a minimum 30 per cent tax on discretionary trust income has alarmed estate planning lawyers, ...

The Australian article (linked below) reports a forensic audit finding extensive anomalies in the Bureau of Meteorology's online "raw" temperature records, including duplicated blocks, statistically implausible identical sequences, and large gaps. The Bureau admits a small number of duplicated historical values, describes their effect as negligible...

Steve Saunders' 16 October 2026 Macrobusiness essay "High Court goes troppo for net-zero" argues that the High Court of Australia's recent decision on the Mount Pleasant coal-mine extension in New South Wales will strengthen Labor–Green determination to pursue net-zero policies, despite what the author sees as their limited practical sense and high...

Edward Dutton's 16 October 2026 Substack piece "The Terrifying Reason Britain is Breeding a Population that Literally Cannot Work" opens by invoking Sir John Glubb's 1978 The Fate of Empires. Glubb observed striking parallels between the late stages of Greek, Roman and Islamic civilisations and the contemporary West: declining traditional religiosi...

I want the COVID-19 vaccine programme brought to an end. I am calling for the complete withdrawal of these products and an independent public investigation with the power to compel evidence, examine decisions and establish responsibility. After more than four decades in nutritional and environmental medicine, my position is uncompromising: the publ...

The extraordinary scenes of rioting, looting and violent confrontation in France raise a question extending far beyond the future of Emmanuel Macron's presidency: could the social and political tensions now erupting on French streets spread across the Western world? In an article published on 18 October 2026, commentator Michael Snyder argues that ...

If the far-Left rioters fully achieved the destruction of "the system," the result would not be liberation or cheaper living, it would be empty shelves, dry fuel stations, and cities running out of food within days. Recent protests over the cost of living, fuel prices, and school conditions (drawing in student groups and some Yellow Vest elements) ...

Greg Craven, writing in The Australian, has offered an unusually candid examination of Australia's immigration debate and the financial dependence of its universities upon international students. His argument is particularly interesting because he acknowledges something that many members of Australia's political, academic and business establishment...

Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter in October 2022 may eventually be recognised as one of the most consequential interventions in the modern struggle over freedom of expression. What appeared initially to be an extraordinarily expensive and commercially risky purchase became an experiment in challenging the political and institutional assumptions g...

One of the defining intellectual struggles of the modern Western world concerns the nature of human nature itself. Since the cultural upheavals of the 1960s, influential currents of the academic Left have sought to minimise, reinterpret or reject biological explanations of human behaviour, particularly when such explanations appear to conflict with...

Britain has produced another episode of political and cultural absurdity that would have delighted the writers of Monty Python. A 76-year-old pensioner from Southampton, Timothy Miller, found himself before Portsmouth Magistrates' Court after attending an anti-immigration demonstration wearing a burka or niqab. According to reports, Miller was arre...

There was a time when Green politics was principally associated with protecting forests, conserving wildlife, preventing pollution and defending the natural environment against destructive development. Whatever one thought of the movement's economic assumptions, its central mission was at least readily intelligible. Today, across much of the Wester...

Back in the 1960s, I had a conversation with an elderly Italian man who told me how he had survived the Second World War. He had not been a soldier, but a farmer in Italy, living through a period when food shortages, economic disruption and the general hardships of war made survival a daily concern. His secret, he explained, was that he had managed...
