The lament in the Daily Sceptic's July 18, 2025, article, "Why Is Modernity So Ugly?" captures a profound truth: the built environment of modern Britain, its signs, housing estates, and public buildings, has become a monument to aesthetic decay. From the sterile metal sign replacing Townsville's flower-laden welcome to the soulless St Clement's sur...
The scenario where Zohran Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist and New York City mayoral candidate, wins the mayoral election and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) ascends to the U.S. presidency, implementing radical policies like abolishing private property and prisons, presents a transformative and polarising vision for America. This blog ...
In recent decades, Lilith has become a potent icon of female rebellion. She is invoked as the original feminist: the woman who refused to lie beneath Adam, who demanded equality at the dawn of creation, and who chose exile and autonomy over submission and servitude. Artists, poets, and scholars have embraced her as a symbol of feminine resistance a...
Clive Pinder's July 19, 2025, Daily Sceptic article, "Why We're All Sceptics Now," captures the profound disillusionment gripping Britain, a nation once anchored by faith in its institutions now reeling from their decay. From the Ministry of Defence's betrayal of Afghan interpreters to the politicisation of policing, the NHS's bureaucratic bloat, a...
Britain’s Descent into Chaos: The Crime Crisis and Reform UK’s Rise, By Richard Miller (Londonistan)
The British public's growing alarm over crime, as revealed in a July 2025 Survation poll, is not mere hyperbole, it reflects a nation spiralling into chaos. With 74% of Britons viewing knife crime as "out of control," 70% saying the same for theft, and 69% for drug-related crimes, the perception of a "lawless Britain" is taking root, with 48% agree...
Recent claims, amplified by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and reported by outlets like Fox News and American Thinker on July 19–20, 2025, allege that the Obama administration orchestrated a "treasonous conspiracy" to undermine Donald Trump's 2016 presidency by manufacturing a narrative of Russian election interference. These accus...
It is often said that treason is the rarest of political crimes in modern democracies, not because it doesn't occur, but because no one in power dares to call it by its name. Yet the newly declassified documents, long-suspected collusion between intelligence officials and partisan actors, and the emerging picture of coordinated internal sabot...
Invasive species like kudzu, Asian carp, and zebra mussels wreak havoc on ecosystems by outcompeting native species, depleting resources, and altering habitats. Kevin Finn's July 2025 American Thinker article draws a provocative analogy between these ecological disruptors and uncontrolled mass migration, arguing that large-scale, unassimilate...
Roger Kimball's poignant reflection in "There'll Always Be an England—But Will It Be Free?" captures a chilling truth: England, once a bastion of liberty, is sliding into a dystopian mire where free speech is policed and the spirit of open discourse suffocated. The introduction of "non-crime hate incidents" (NCHIs) and the looming "banter ban" are ...
By any reasonable standard, the Afghan data breach and the shroud of secrecy that followed it amount to the most egregious national security scandal in modern British history. And yet, for nearly two years, you weren't even allowed to know it happened. Not only were the press banned from reporting on it, but they were also banned from saying there ...
The Atacama Desert in Chile, one of the driest regions on Earth, holds the world's largest lithium reserves, critical for lithium-ion batteries powering electric vehicles (EVs), renewable energy storage, and electronics. As global demand for lithium soars, doubling from 95,000 tonnes in 2021 to 205,000 tonnes in 2024, with projections of 900,...
In a land where tea is sipped with pinkies up and queues are a sacred art form, Britain's taxpayer-funded hotels have become the stage for a tragicomedy of epic proportions. Picture this: a quaint island nation, famed for its fish and chips, now serves up a spicy new dish, migrant mayhem, courtesy of the Home Office's generous hospitality bud...
Martin Armstrong, a controversial yet renowned forecaster, has sounded a chilling alarm: World War III is imminent, with the Ukraine conflict as its spark, and the United States faces collapse by 2032. Using his AI-driven "Socrates" model, which accurately predicted Japan's 1989 crash and Russia's 1998 financial crisis, Armstrong warns that NATO's ...
David Llewellyn-Smith's blistering critique in Macrobusiness on July 18, 2025, accuses Prime Minister Anthony Albanese of "China grovelling," alleging that his diplomatic overtures to Beijing undermine Australia's sovereignty and security. Llewellyn-Smith argues that outlets like Crikey, through commentators like Bernard Keane and Wanning Sun, ampl...
The Aporia Magazine piece by The Westering Sun, published on July 18, 2025, offers a piercing lens on woke ideology, framing it not as a moral crusade but as a Machiavellian tool of power politics. Drawing on James Burnham's political realism and Vilfredo Pareto's theories of residues and derivations, it argues that woke ideology, evolving from mul...
On July 18, 2025, Democratic Senator Ron Wyden dropped a bombshell: Jeffrey Epstein's financial empire included 4,725 wire transfers totalling nearly $1.1 billion through a single bank account, with hundreds of millions more flowing through others, as reported by The Vigilant Fox. This revelation, backed by posts on X from Wyden and others, raises ...
The Democratic Party is imploding, and from a MAGA perspective, it's a glorious sight. A three-way brawl has erupted over the party's future, with the establishment, the centre-Left "Abundance" faction, and the far-left progressives slugging it out in a public spectacle of disarray. The establishment, battered by the Biden era's collapse, is scramb...
The Arctic, long a frozen frontier, is heating up, both literally and geopolitically. At the heart of this emerging theatre of global competition lies Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark that has become a focal point for great power rivalry. Recent comments from Russia's ambassador to Denmark, Vladimir Barbin, published by RIA Novosti on ...
If there's one characteristic that defines Donald Trump it's his habit of switching his positions on a dime – Leaving many a critic looking rather foolish when they establish an argument against him today, only to discover he mostly agrees with them tomorrow. I've learned it's best to wait a little while before commenting on the man's policy decisi...
The Jeffrey Epstein case, centred on his Little Saint James island and vast financial network, continues to raise troubling questions about elite accountability. Ghislaine Maxwell's 2021 conviction for sex trafficking minors confirmed the criminality of their operation, yet the Trump administration's reported dismissal of Epstein's activities as "n...
