Friedrich Hayek's great warning in The Road to Serfdom, published in 1944, was that the destruction of economic freedom need not arrive through a communist revolution or a military dictatorship. It could proceed gradually, through apparently reasonable government interventions, each justified as necessary for the public good. The danger was not sim...

The Victorian Coalition's decision to place One Nation ahead of Labor on how-to-vote cards is less a grand ideological embrace than a late recognition of arithmetic. Opposition Leader Jess Wilson confirmed the Liberals and Nationals will put Labor, the Greens and the Victorian Socialists at the bottom in most seats, with One Nation higher up. Excep...

This topic will not be covered in the Australian lamestream press and I have seen no mention yet in the alternative pro-freedom media. So here is some material to get the ball going: https://naomiwolf.substack.com/p/so-much-fraud It seems substack is asking for age-verification ID on this now, which is absurd because there is nothing harmful to del...

The US Constitution was written by people who distrusted temporary majorities. Equal state representation in the Senate, the Electoral College, life-tenured judges, and state control of elections were deliberate brakes. Changing those rules requires the amendment process, which demands broad agreement across the states. A cluster of proposals long ...

Australia's overall total fertility rate has hit a historic low of roughly 1.5 births per woman, and the general nationwide trend is a downward slope due to cost of living and housing pressures. However, demographic data shows that the opposite is true for one community. The Muslim community's birthrate remains a notable exception to this broader n...

 Russell Brand has been sentenced to ten years and six months in prison after a jury convicted him of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault involving four women between 2004 and 2009. The judge described him as a "sexual predator" who believed fame allowed him to act as he liked. He was acquitted of other charges. Brand will ser...

 The numbers come first. Democrats took the House with roughly 250 seats to the Republicans' 157. They took the Senate 54–44, flipping seven seats: Texas, Kansas, South Carolina, Iowa, Maine, North Carolina and Ohio. Texas had not sent a Democrat to the Senate since 1988; Kansas not since 1932. It was the first time since 1954 that a party tha...

 A circulating clip shows Muslim speakers celebrating Democratic midterm results in Texas and declaring that Dallas should become "the Medina of America." One line is blunt: "We're Muslim, and that's why we want Islam for this country." Medina, in Islamic history, was not merely a place of worship. It was the city where Muhammad established a ...

One of the most devastating critiques of modern government intervention was written nearly forty years ago by the American sociologist Peter H. Rossi. His 1987 paper, The Iron Law of Evaluation and Other Metallic Rules, should be compulsory reading for every politician, bureaucrat and policy adviser who believes that society can be improved simply ...

 Australians have been promised that the transition to renewable energy would deliver cheaper electricity, cleaner industry and a prosperous new economic future. Instead, they are confronted with the prospect of electricity prices rising dramatically as coal-fired power stations close and replacement infrastructure struggles to arrive on sched...

If you're cutting back on steak, chops or a good Sunday roast because some global report told you it will cook the planet or clog your arteries, stop. You're not saving the world. You're probably just making yourself more tired, iron-deficient and easier to sell ultra-processed plant-based sludge. That's the blunt message from scientists who have h...

Australia may be sitting on one of the most dangerous economic vulnerabilities in its modern history, and it has nothing directly to do with house prices, interest rates or government debt. It concerns something more basic: diesel fuel. Without diesel, the trucks that deliver food to supermarkets cannot operate normally, farmers cannot harvest crop...

Ordinary Australians face a stark double standard in financial accountability. A pensioner who miscalculates a Centrelink payment by a few hundred dollars can face demands for explanations, documentation and repayment. A small business that loses track of its accounts draws intense interest from the Australian Taxation Office. Yet when the federal ...

 The modern world has constructed a civilisation that depends upon electricity for almost everything, from the refrigeration of food and the pumping of drinking water to communications, banking, transport, hospitals and industrial production. Yet the extraordinary complexity of this technological civilisation has created vulnerabilities that p...

France is once again experiencing the familiar spectacle of burning vehicles, smashed shopfronts, attacks upon police and public buildings going up in flames. The latest wave of unrest has exposed the profound divisions within French society and the apparent inability of President Emmanuel Macron's government to maintain public order. Yet amid the ...

Raoul Pal, the macro investor and Real Vision founder, has been circulating a blunt timeline: we may have only about four years, roughly until 2030–2032, before the world as we know it stops working the way it does now. He calls the threshold the "Economic Singularity." In his framing, exponential technologies (AI, robotics, energy, and crypto) are...

The numbers are not a rounding error. They are a strategic verdict. China builds roughly 50–60% of the world's commercial ships by tonnage in a given year. The United States builds a fraction of one percent, often cited in the 0.04–0.2% range, or fewer than five large oceangoing commercial vessels annually in recent years. Office of Naval Intellige...

Modern civilisation has become so dependent upon electricity and the internet that most people scarcely notice the technological foundations of their daily lives until something goes wrong. Banking, shopping, healthcare, communications, government administration, transport and food distribution depend upon interconnected electronic systems function...

The 2026 midterms produced two concurrent outcomes that are not easily separated. Democrats recaptured Congress and flipped red-state executive offices by running on cost of living, opposition to the Iran war, and corruption. At the same time, Democratic Socialists of America-aligned candidates took the mayoralties of New York, Los Angeles, Seattle...

Lionel Shriver (a female writer), writing from the vantage of a former progressive, offers a sharp diagnosis of the contemporary Left's temperament. Progressives, she argues, are driven less by a constructive vision than by the need for an enemy, the pleasure of tearing things down, and the comfort of perpetual adolescence. Their protests are angry...
