The phrase "sacred cows are never slaughtered; they're just slowly forgotten" captures a quiet truth about human societies: revered beliefs, institutions, or ideologies are rarely toppled with fanfare. Instead, they fade into irrelevance as attention shifts elsewhere. Yet, this fading is not an end but a transition, as new sacred cows rise to take ...
In 1505, Michelangelo Buonarroti, a genius of the Renaissance, began his monumental work on the Sistine Chapel's ceiling, a canvas that would immortalise his vision of humanity's relationship with the divine. Among the vivid scenes from Genesis, one image stands out: The Creation of Adam. Here, God, surrounded by a flowing cloak, reaches out to tou...
The world stands at a precipice, teetering between fragile hopes for peace and the relentless drumbeat of war. Just a week ago, optimism flickered as leaders discussed pathways to end conflicts that have scarred nations and displaced millions. Yet, as August 2025 unfolds, that hope is fading, replaced by a resurgent "war fever" that threatens to en...
In recent years, a growing chorus of voices has claimed that Britain's judges are running the country, sidelining Parliament's sovereignty and reshaping policy on immigration, welfare, and even environmental regulation. A Merlin Strategy survey reveals that two-thirds of the public believe the criminal justice system is politicised, with judges rul...
Walk into any university's social science department, and you'll find a cesspool of self-congratulatory elites who've turned their backs on the very societies that pay their salaries. These academics, cloaked in degrees and dripping with hubris, aren't just misguided, they're traitors! Their ideas, churned out in echo chambers of the humanities and...
The Royal Borough of Greenwich's 45-page "inclusive language guide," obtained by The Sun through a Freedom of Information request, has ignited controversy not because of what it includes, but because of what it excludes. By discouraging ordinary words such as "husband," "wife," "ladies and gentlemen," and "Christian name," the guide effectively tre...
Pride Day has just passed in my hometown of Hull. Pride flags were publicly displayed, replacing Union flags; countless posters were plastered on shop windows and adverts invaded social media feeds. One could not miss that the event was approaching. Fortunately, away in Stockport watching football, I escaped the parade of men in dresses … This came...
In May 2025, former President Donald Trump, unveiled the "Golden Dome," a proposed missile defence system touted as a revolutionary shield for the United States. Promising "close to 100% protection" against aerial threats, from ballistic missiles to hypersonic weapons, Trump pitched it as a modern marvel inspired by Israel's Iron Dome but scaled to...
Matthew Goodwin's recent Telegraph article, echoed by the Daily Sceptic, sounds a stark alarm: mass immigration is transforming Britain beyond recognition, with white Britons projected to become a minority by 2063, the foreign-born and their descendants a majority by 2079, and Islam potentially practiced by one in four people by 2100. These shifts,...
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's foreign policy has sparked heated debate, with critics like David Llewellyn-Smith arguing that he is steering Australia toward China's orbit, risking its Western alliances and democratic identity. A July 2025 Macrobusiness.com.au article claims Albanese's "Australian way" prioritises multilateralism and ...
For decades, the medical-industrial complex has peddled pharmaceutical band-aids for type 2 diabetes (T2D), trapping millions in a cycle of insulin dependence and worsening health. Yet, a ground-breaking study presented at ENDO 2025 reveals a powerful alternative: intermittent fasting, particularly the 5:2 method, harnesses the body's cellular self...
In her July 16, 2025, American Thinker article, Shari Goodman posits a provocative theory: that Barack Obama's 2008 promise to "fundamentally transform" America is part of a broader, deliberate agenda orchestrated by global elites to reshape the United States into a dystopian society, undermining its constitutional republic and sovereignty. Goodman...
Dr. David McGrogan's Daily Sceptic article argues that the UK is at a crisis point, driven by a political system paralysed by "political hedonism," the idea, rooted in Thomas Hobbes and elaborated by Antony de Jasay, that the state's primary role is to minimise displeasure rather than uphold moral or pre-political norms. This philosophy, McGrogan c...
Former Queensland Premier Peter Beattie's stark warning at Australia's 2025 Economic Reform Roundtable, "China is going to kill us," if the nation doesn't prioritise innovation, captures a chilling economic reality. Without urgent investment in homegrown start-ups and a tax system that incentivises risk-taking, Australia risks becoming a "second-ra...
Across the history of great civilisations, rituals of passage transformed boys into men, equipping them to bear the weight of societal progress. In ancient Rome, donning the toga virilis signalled a young man's readiness for civic duty. In medieval Europe, apprenticeships under guilds forged skills, independence, and purpose. Even in the modern Wes...
A groundbreaking federal lawsuit filed last week accuses the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of endangering children by failing to study the cumulative health impacts of its 72-dose childhood immunisation schedule. Drs. Paul Thomas and Kenneth P. Stoller, both stripped of their medical licenses for challenging vaccine policies, alo...
Something is seriously off in 2025. It feels as though the natural world has ripped up the old rulebook and gone rogue. We're living through the "year of the fire" and the "year of the flood" simultaneously, while earthquakes and volcanoes pound away in the background. For most of history, disasters came one at a time, like unwanted guests. This ye...
In a bold escalation of his anti-cartel strategy, President Trump has ordered the deployment of U.S. naval assets off the coast of Venezuela, including the guided-missile destroyers USS Gravely, USS Jason Dunham, and USS Sampson, accompanied by around 4,000 sailors and marines, a P-8 reconnaissance aircraft, and an attack submarine. This show of fo...
Importing 13.5 million people to create the next 40 years of housing crisis Winners: corporations, banks, developers, institutional funds, billionaires Losers: YOU. Taxes to force homeowners out, "green" materials push up prices Build-to-rent towers for permanent renters, subsidised by you Demonisation of private property, "selfish" home-owners has...
Australia's housing crisis is not a mere consequence of market forces or demographic shifts; it is a deliberate outcome of policy decisions driven by global elites seeking to reshape society to their advantage. Over the past two financial years, net overseas migration has exceeded one million people, a figure unprecedented in Australian history. Th...
