The COVID Reckoning That Never Came And the Silence That Proves the Psyop, By Ed Dowd

Over the last several years I have been posting nonstop on X about the same nightmares we've been living through…the COVID psyop, the experimental mRNA shots, the mandates that destroyed lives, the injuries, the excess deaths, and the relentless propaganda machine that tried to silence anyone who noticed the bodies piling up. I have watched it all ...

China Views Western Socialists as Ideological Fellow Travelers: “Useful Idiots” in Great Power Competition

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) operates with cold strategic realism. It is not a socialist utopia but a Han-centric, authoritarian superpower pursuing national rejuvenation, technological supremacy, and regional dominance. Yet it often treats segments of the American and broader Western Left, particularly those pushing radical identity politics,...

Defeating Killer Drones: Lessons from Striped Russian Trucks

The Ukraine war has repeatedly overturned assumptions about modern warfare. Tanks worth millions of dollars have been destroyed by drones costing only hundreds. Expensive electronic warfare systems have been outwitted by simple fibre-optic cables. Now comes another surprise: one of the latest countermeasures against AI-guided drones may be nothing ...

The Strait of Hormuz Closed Once More: There Is No End to This!

The news from the New York Post is grim but familiar: Iran claims to have closed the Strait of Hormuz after firing on a container ship, issuing fresh warnings of severe retaliation. Once again, the narrow chokepoint through which roughly 20-30% of global seaborne oil passes sits at the centre of escalation. Tanker traffic, insurance rates, and oil ...

Adverse Possession Part 1: When the Law Rewards the Possessor Rather Than the Paper Owner

One of the most surprising doctrines in Australian property law is adverse possession, sometimes referred to in popular language as "squatters' rights." To many people it appears almost unbelievable. How, they ask, can someone lose ownership of land simply because another person has occupied it for many years? Surely a registered title should be ab...

Adverse Possession Part 2: Does Property Exist Because of Legal Title, or because of Possession and Productive Use?

The doctrine of adverse possession, introduced in part 1, raises a question far deeper than boundary fences and limitation periods. It asks what property actually is. Does ownership arise because a government records your name on a certificate of title? Or does it arise because you possess, maintain, improve and productively use the land? These two...

EU Mass Electronic Surveillance: Democracy Denied in Plain Sight

What Modern Diets May Have Forgotten: The Collagen Question

Nutrition advice has become remarkably good at telling us what to avoid. We are warned about excessive sugar, processed foods, trans fats, alcohol, and excess calories.

The Multi-Hazard Probabilistic Theory of Civilisational Collapse; Or: The Live Round Under the Hammer View

The enduring question of why civilisations collapse has generated numerous influential theories. Oswald Spengler portrayed civilisations as organic entities progressing through life cycles of birth, maturity, decline, and death.

The Paradox of Modernity: Lee Kuan Yew’s Unfinished Miracle and the Unsolved Birth Dearth Problem

Lee Kuan Yew (LKY) built one of the most extraordinary success stories in modern history. Expelled from the Malaysian Federation in 1965, Singapore stood as a vulnerable, resource-poor island plagued by unemployment, slums, and racial tensions. Through disciplined governance, meritocracy, anti-corruption drives, strategic openness to global capital...

The Really Surprising News Would Be If Iran did NOT Wanted to Assassinate Trump!

Joe McCarthy was Not Wrong: The Red Scare That Underestimated the Long March through the Institutions

Senator Joseph McCarthy remains one of the most reviled figures in modern American history, the very symbol of paranoid witch-hunting and reckless accusation. The term "McCarthyism" has become shorthand for baseless persecution, career destruction, and anti-intellectual hysteria. Yet a growing body of historical reassessment suggests the convention...

Gerontocracy Across the World: When the Old Rule, but Wisdom is in Short Supply

The Spectator recently highlighted a phenomenon many have observed with growing unease: America remains firmly in the grip of gerontocracy. Elderly leaders, some well into their eighties, continue to dominate the highest offices, clinging to power long after their physical and mental prime. Joe Biden's tenure, marked by visible decline, was only th...

Hate Speech, Religious Expression, and the Limits of Public Debate

The case of Päivi Räsänen has become one of Europe's most closely watched freedom of speech and religious liberty cases because it sits at the intersection of hate speech law, religious expression, and the limits of public debate. The controversy began in 2019 when Räsänen, a medical doctor, long-serving member of the Finnish Parliament, and former...

God’s Creation, Biologically Richer than Many Think!

When most people think about the human body, they picture a single organism. We imagine ourselves as independent individuals, bounded by our skin and directed by our own DNA. Modern biology, however, is steadily dismantling this simple picture. Increasingly, scientists are discovering that each of us is less like a solitary organism and more like a...

Trudeau Bounces Around Like a Bunny: From Wrecking Canada to Wrecking Our Minds!

With the passing of Derryn Hinch at the age of 82, Australia has lost one of its most controversial, fearless and unmistakable media personalities.

Climate Reparations are Coming: How Woke Legal Activism Threatens to Sink Australia

A recent legal development in Australia signals a dangerous new front in the climate wars: the push for climate reparations.

The Ultimate Super-Duper Leftist Candidate: A Satirical Exploration

Election seasons are filled with hyperbolic claims: "This is the most extreme candidate ever!" Both sides say it. But let's skip the rhetoric and run the experiment properly.
