A recent Live Science article, citing a study published in Nature on June 4, claims that women "likely ruled" in a matriarchal society in eastern China around 4,500 years ago, based on DNA analysis of skeletons from the Fujia archaeological site. The study's findings, centred on burial patterns and genetic evidence, suggest a matrilineal social str...
The catastrophic blackout that struck Spain and Portugal on April 28, 2025, affecting over 60 million people, has sparked intense debate about the reliability of renewable energy, particularly solar power, in the context of aggressive Net Zero policies. An official Spanish government investigation, as reported by The Daily Sceptic and The Telegraph...
Recent reports in the UK media, notably from The Telegraph and The Daily Sceptic, have raised alarms about the potential weaponisation of solar geoengineering technologies, specifically solar radiation modification (SRM). These concerns suggest that "hostile nations such as Russia" or other third-party actors could misuse these technologies to orch...
Russia's subsequent warning following the US bombing of Iran's nuclear sites, that the world is "millimetres" from a nuclear catastrophe, voiced by Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova and Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, underscores the heightened global tensions. While Iranian officials claim enriched uranium was moved beforehand,...
Historical interventions in the Middle East, such as the 2003 Iraq invasion and the 2011 Syrian conflict, triggered massive refugee flows, with the 2015 Syrian crisis sending over 1 million migrants to Europe. A collapse of Iran's government could spark similar mass migration, straining Western countries and intensifying social tensions, including ...
The U.S. airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities at Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan, have escalated tensions, raising the hypothetical scenario of Iran's regime collapsing and a U.S.-aligned government taking control. Iran is a significant oil supplier to China, reportedly accounting for a substantial portion of its crude imports. I will look at the imp...
As James Dwyer argues in The Conversation, the US strikes on the Iranian nuclear sites may have backfired, pushing Iran to conclude that acquiring nuclear weapons at any cost is now essential for regime survival. Drawing lessons from North Korea's defiance, Ukraine's disarmament, and the fates of Iraq and Libya, Iran may see nuclear armament as its...
Iranian officials, including a key adviser to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and IRGC commander Esmail Kosari, have raised the prospect of closing the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime chokepoint through which roughly 20–30% of global oil and 20% of liquefied natural gas (LNG) transit. At the time of writing the Iranian Parliament has approved a m...
President Donald Trump claiming that the bombings of Iran's nuclear sites "completely and totally obliterated" the sites. However, reports suggesting Iran may have evacuated critical nuclear assets beforehand, combined with heightened rhetoric from Iranian leaders, have fuelled speculation about potential retaliation. Among the concerns raise...
President Donald Trump has claimed the strikes on Iran's nuclear sites had "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear enrichment capabilities, aiming to halt what he described as a nuclear threat from the "world's number one state sponsor of terror." However, reports from Iranian officials and some security experts suggest a provocative sc...
While the U.S. claimed "spectacular military success," for its bombing of Iranian nuclear sites, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, in a scathing post on X, argued that the strikes failed to destroy critical nuclear infrastructure and may have unintended consequences, including the possibility that "a number of countries" are ready to supply...
The "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) movement, synonymous with Donald Trump's political base, has long been perceived as a monolithic force driven by nationalism, populism, and loyalty to its leader. However, recent internal conflicts reveal a movement splintered into competing "tribes" with irreconcilable visions for America's future. These triba...
US Dr Paul Thomas undertook a study of 3, 324 children, comparing vaccinated versus unvaccinated children. He found the following results indicating much better health of the unvaccinated group: Fever – 9.1× higher in vaccinated Ear Pain – 3.4× higher Otitis Media (Ear Infections) – 2.9× higher Conjunctivitis – 2.4× higher Eye Disorders (Other) – 1...
The lecture hall was silent, save for the faint hum of fluorescent lights, as I sat in the back row of my old university, a place I once believed was a temple of truth. Decades ago, as a wide-eyed freshman, I'd scribbled notes on Plato and quantum mechanics, convinced that these ivy-clad walls were a sanctuary for ideas, a place where minds were sh...
Terrible laws with enormous consequences get passed all the time without public consultation. That is why it is good that George Christensen now has the funds to attend sittings of federal parliament and report back on what is going on. The same thing needs to be done at the state level as well. Consider the South Australian example of the Planning...
Australia's population dynamics are shifting dramatically, with the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) reporting a record-low fertility rate of 1.50 births per woman in 2023 and a crude birth rate of 10.7 per 1,000 people in 2024, the lowest in recorded history. The natural increase in population, births minus deaths, dropped to 105,200 in 2024,...
Nestled deep within a mountain near the city of Qom, Iran's Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant stands as one of the most fortified and contentious sites in global security. Designed to withstand conventional airstrikes, Fordow's underground structure, buried 80–90 metres, possibly up to 300 feet, has sparked intense debate within the U.S. intelligence an...
In a very interesting piece at the Armageddon Safari substack, journalist Ben Bartee based in Bangkok, about the cult of whiteness and pale skin in South East Asia: "There is a deeply rooted cultural norm involved… skin color and beauty. In many societies, and especially in Asia, dark skin has long been associated with working in the fields and, th...
In uncertain and chaotic times, there is no shortage of predictions of doom. Thus in another piece I covered the predicted false flag bioterrorism attack thought to come on 4 July, 2025. This is a US state one, but I suppose now with Middle East war, the sleeping cells of terrorists who entered the open southern border under the Biden regime, just ...
Britain is in a severe state of moral decline. And just when one thinks things have hit rock bottom, the moral ground collapses even further and society tumbles down ever-lower, on the path to hell. Thus, the latest woe is the House of Commons, and common they are, passing a Bill to legalise assisted suicide. The Bill has now been passed to the Hou...
