Jeffrey Tucker (link below) is right: if Chesterton came back today and saw Britain and the West in December 2025, he would not be shocked. He would simply open his 115-year-old book, point to page 187, and say, "I told you so." Chesterton's core argument in What's Wrong with the World was brutally simple: A civilisation that abandons the transcend...
Politicians and activists love to sell solar panels and wind turbines as the heroes of a low-cost, planet-saving saga. "Renewables are cheaper than fossil fuels!" they proclaim, citing plummeting panel prices and sunny spreadsheets from outfits like IRENA, which in July 2025 declared that 91% of new renewable projects undercut fossil alternatives. ...
Simmering in the endless climate wars, one sacred cow has been untouchable: The rise in atmospheric CO2 from ~315 ppm in 1959 to 425 ppm today is overwhelmingly driven by human fossil fuel emissions, and that's the root of modern warming. Textbooks, IPCC reports, and Al Gore documentaries have drilled this into us for decades. But what if the causa...
It's a clash that's equal parts tech thriller and geopolitical cage match, the European Union just lobbed its first Digital Services Act (DSA) grenade at Elon Musk's X, slapping the platform with a €120 million ($140 million) fine for "transparency violations." But let's cut the Brussels bureaucratese: This isn't about blue checkmarks or ad reposit...
If Donald Trump sounds the alarm on Europe's demise, it's not bluster; it's bulletin from the front lines of a civilisational unravelling. In his latest broadside, Trump didn't mince words: The European Union was cooked up to "screw the United States," saddling America with defence bills while the continent squanders its inheritance on socialist pi...
It's easy to feel like the "woke" dominance in entertainment and news is as entrenched as ever, especially if you're scrolling through the same old feeds or bingeing the latest Netflix slate. Joel Kotkin's Spiked piece (link below) paints a vivid picture of a seismic shift: billionaire buyouts like David Ellison's Paramount takeover signalling the ...
Pete North — better known online as @FUDdaily or "Northern Variant" — is no stranger to controversy. As a Brexit veteran, editor of The Manifesto Project, and prolific Substack writer (follow him at northernvariant.co.uk for unfiltered takes on UK politics, from EU remnants to cultural erosion), he's built a following by calling out what he sees as...
Dr. Robert Redfield served as CDC Director from 2018 to 2021 under the Trump administration. In a December 9, 2025, episode of EpochTV's American Thought Leaders (teased in an Epoch Times article published December 7), Redfield explicitly states he'd like to see mRNA COVID-19 vaccines "eliminated" from the market due to "too many unknowns." This ma...
A recent opinion piece by Leith van Onselen, Chief Economist at Macrobusiness.com.au, titled "Australia is the immigration outlier", it argues that Australia's rapid population expansion through immigration sets it apart from other developed economies, straining resources and fuelling debates on sustainability. The piece draws on analysis from Alex...
At the University of Minnesota Twin Cities (UMTC), where taxpayer dollars flow like the Mississippi, a new plague has been diagnosed: the "Whiteness Pandemic." Not a virus, mind you, but a congenital affliction infecting white families from birth, breeding racism like bacteria in a petri dish. This isn't satire from The Babylon Bee; it's the earnes...
They told boys to sit still, shut up, and act more like girls. Then they wondered why the boys stopped showing up at all. Look at the numbers and try — really try — to tell me this isn't deliberate. Boys are now 20 points behind girls in reading and writing by age 15 (OECD PISA 2022–2025 trend). Young men (18–29) have crashed out of college: women ...
Here in the land that birthed the Magna Carta, habeas corpus, and the very notion of parliamentary sovereignty, something sinister is afoot. Keir Starmer's Labour government, barely 18 months into its term, has unleashed a barrage of moves that scream "control" louder than a Black Mirror episode. On December 4, 2025, they dropped a double whammy: p...
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has taken a bold step in the rapidly unfolding debate over artificial intelligence. His proposal for a Citizen Bill of Rights for AI is not fear-mongering, nor is it a rejection of innovation. It is a commonsense affirmation that AI exists to serve humans, not the other way around. In an age where Silicon Valley increa...
President Donald Trump's freshly inked National Security Strategy of 2025 doesn't mince words: "The Era of Mass Migration is Over." It's a seismic declaration, framing unchecked inflows not as a humanitarian footnote but as an existential threat, on par with military invasion. "In countries throughout the world, mass migration has strained domestic...
In the halls of Westminster, where the Magna Carta once breathed life into individual liberties, a new breed of tyrant has emerged, not with guillotines or gulags, but with spreadsheets and shadowy NGOs. This week, the veil lifted on a chilling operation: the British Labour machine, led by Prime Minister Keir Starmer's right-hand man, Morgan McSwee...
The latest paper in Nature Sustainability (December 2025) insists that global ecosystem restoration will only succeed if "social justice" is placed "at the heart" of every project, deeply, not superficially. The authors, led by the University of East Anglia's School of Global Development, reviewed case studies and concluded that short-term, ecologi...
Nested in the heart of Europe, where precision engineering and philosophical rigour once defined a nation's intellectual backbone, something profoundly alarming is unfolding. The German school system, long a cornerstone of the country's global dominance in innovation, science, and culture, is teetering on the brink of collapse. This isn't hyperbole...
Welcome to Germany, where attempted murder is apparently negotiable. A 29-year-old man stabbed a teacher six times in broad daylight, inflicting serious injuries, yet the Stuttgart court decided he didn't commit attempted murder. Why? Because he stopped before the seventh stab. That, apparently, counts as a "withdrawal." Yes, you read that correctl...
It's happening again. Another towering edifice of progressive panic — this time, climate doom — has come crashing down under the weight of its own incompetence. The prestigious journal Nature recently retracted its 2024 climate apocalypse report after economists discovered flawed data from Uzbekistan skewed the results. Instead of a catastrop...
It's December 2025, and the planet's fault lines are shuddering — Ukraine's mud churned to Pokrovsk's rubble, Venezuelan waters stained with the blood of 83 from U.S. strikes, and the East China Sea's waves lapping at Senkaku's contested shores. Vladimir Putin, Nicolás Maduro, and Donald Trump aren't whispering threats; they're barking them, each a...
