This blog essay outlines Judith Sloan's powerful argument in The Australian and defending its hard-headed realism against the ideological fantasies driving Western energy policy. Judith Sloan, one of Australia's most clear-eyed economists, cuts through the green rhetoric with a blunt observation: For nearly two decades, Australia (and much of the W...
There is something almost cinematic — darkly, absurdly cinematic — about where things now stand. The enemy is defeated, victory is declared, the credits begin to roll — and then, inevitably, the villain sits up again. Only days ago, the script seemed settled: a ceasefire, a tentative reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a narrative of decisive action...
The Strait of Hormuz right now is neither open nor closed. It behaves more like a revolving pub door—technically passable, but only if you're willing to push through uncertainty, pay the bouncer, and accept you might get thrown out mid-step. What has happened in the last 24–48 hours sharpens that metaphor into something almost literal. The story be...
Centralised digital identity systems represent one of the most serious encroachments on liberty in the modern West, not just in Britain, but across the Anglosphere, Australia and Europe. In September 2025, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced plans for a new digital ID scheme, billed as a way to "cut the faff" in proving identity for right-to-w...
In early April 2026, the Mises Institute published a sobering piece titled "The Economic Destruction of Trump's War Goes Far Beyond High Gas Prices." Author Connor O'Keeffe argues that the US-Israeli strikes on Iran and Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz are doing far more damage than headline oil prices suggest. By hammering higher-order good...
One of the most gaping holes in pretty much the entire "crisis of masculinity" literature—with books like Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life and Richard Reeves' Of Boys and Men—is biology, and in particular hormones. And by "hormones," I mean one hormone in particular: testosterone, the master male hormone, the one that's responsible for men being...
The April 8, 2026, article from The New American, "Demographic Realists Rise: Immigration, Long an American Addiction, is Finally Being Challenged," marks a notable shift in the immigration debate. Author Selwyn Duke argues that the near-religious reverence for high levels of immigration, long treated as an unquestioned American virtue, is eroding....
Ben Roberts-Smith is one of Australia's most decorated soldiers. Awarded the Victoria Cross for Australia and the Medal for Gallantry for his service in Afghanistan, he embodied the values Australians are taught to respect: bravery, loyalty, and an unwavering commitment to his mates. For years, he stood as a symbol of national pride. Yet after a de...
The April 10, 2026, Daily Sceptic essay "Degrees of Delusion: How to Fix the UK's Broken Universities" by Dr. Roger Watson, delivers a blunt diagnosis of Britain's higher education sector. Drawing on a new HEPI Debate Paper, it describes a system warped by reckless expansion — from roughly 40 universities pre-1990s to over 160 today — fuelled by th...
The April 2026 Gateway Pundit piece highlights the sentencing of former NYPD Sergeant Erik Duran to 3–9 years in prison for the 2023 death of Eric Duprey, a 30-year-old drug suspect. During an undercover Bronx buy-and-bust narcotics operation, Duprey sold $20 worth of cocaine to an undercover officer and fled on a motorised scooter along a sidewalk...

Lifenews.com, reports on a trend that seems baked into the modernity of West and east Asian nations; declining births, growing abortions. If the trend continues, most babies conceived by modern women pursuing their "brilliant careers" will be aborted: The number of babies born in the United States declined in 2025 while the number of babies killed ...
It is more than a carcinogen. Sasha Latypova's interview delivers a compelling, evidence-grounded critique of how pandemic preparedness frameworks, military funding, and pharmaceutical liability shields converged in ways that demand serious public scrutiny—particularly through the ongoing Dutch civil litigation. The narra...
On April 9, 2026, First Lady Melania Trump delivered a rare, prepared public statement at the White House addressing long-circulating rumours linking her to Jeffrey Epstein. Reading carefully from notes, she forcefully denied any meaningful connection: she was never friends with Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell, never had a "relationship" with either, ...
There is a particular genre of modern political speech that arrives like a fire alarm in a room where nobody has smelled smoke. It is urgent, carefully worded, legally polished — and faintly bewildering. One finds oneself checking the windows, the wiring, the toaster. Did I miss something? Was there, in fact, a fire? The recent statement fits this ...
In a series of Situation Room meetings, President Trump weighed his instincts against the deep concerns of his vice president and a pessimistic intelligence assessment. Here's the inside story of how he made the fateful decision. The black S.U.V. carrying Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived at the White House just before 11 a.m. on Feb. 11. T...
In a series of hard-hitting reports on BlazeTV's Sara Gonzales Unfiltered, the Texas-based host followed tips from viewers and dug into the underbelly of the H-1B visa program. What she uncovered was not isolated abuse but an industrialised pattern of fraud centred on one place: Hyderabad, India — repeatedly described as the "H-1B capital of the wo...
Iryna Zarutska, 23, had already survived hell. A Ukrainian refugee who fled the Russian invasion, she arrived in Charlotte, North Carolina, seeking safety and a fresh start. She worked at a pizzeria, wore earbuds on her commute home, and was simply riding the Lynx Blue Line light rail on August 22, 2025, minding her own business. Surveillance video...
There are few areas where the distance between public judgment and legal judgment is as wide as in war. The case of Ben Roberts-Smith sits precisely in that gap — between what can be said in headlines and what must ultimately be proven in court. At the centre of the debate is not simply one man, but a broader question: how should a liberal democrac...
An epistemic crisis is a breakdown in society's shared system for determining what is true. It's not mere disagreement over policy or values. It's when large swaths of the population no longer trust the same institutions, experts, or evidence to establish basic facts. People retreat into rival realities: one side's "settled science" or "offic...
