Elon Musk has doubled down on his prediction that civil war will erupt in Britain in the coming decades as the country faces a migration-fuelled "reckoning". In recent months, the SpaceX founder has frequently warned of unrest erupting in Britain as a consequence of high levels of migration of people opposed to the West. Mr Musk has described the p...
Recent films about ancient Greece such as Troy, Helen of Troy, and 300, have used actors who are of Anglo-Saxon or Celtic ancestry (e.g. Brad Pitt, Gerard Butler). Recent films about ancient Rome, such as Gladiator and HBO's series Rome, have done the same (e.g. Russell Crowe). Were the directors right, from an historical point of view? Were the an...
The next great power conflict in Asia may not begin with missiles over Taiwan or tanks rolling across the Himalayas. It may begin with the slow, deliberate tightening of a maritime noose around China's most vital artery. While the world watches the Taiwan Strait and the Line of Actual Control, India has been quietly constructing the means to threat...
One of the oldest lessons in political philosophy is that governments should be cautious when granting themselves new powers. The temptation is always to believe that such powers will be exercised only against one's political opponents. History repeatedly shows otherwise. Once a legal mechanism exists, it can eventually be used against almost anyon...
Censorship is a confession of weakness. When institutions that control information, platforms, and reputation decide a viewpoint is too dangerous to be heard, they are rarely protecting the public from falsehood. More often they are protecting themselves from scrutiny. The multi-year effort to silence Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and bury his book The Rea...
There was a time when people could at least assume that, whatever happened beyond the front door, the bedroom remained a private sanctuary. Governments might know where you worked. Banks might know what you earned. Shops might know what you bought. But once the bedroom door closed, your conversations, your relationships and your most intimate momen...
In a free society the public is supposed to be able to mock, criticize, and even insult the people who hold power over them. That right is not a courtesy extended by the state. It is a structural necessity: those who make the laws, spend the taxes, and deploy the police must remain exposed to the full force of public judgment. When governments inve...
The Australian Labor Party was built by the calloused hands of shearers, miners, wharfies, and factory workers. It was the political arm of the union movement: rough, uncompromising, and singularly focused on the material conditions of working people. That party is dead. In its place stands a coalition of inner-city professionals, university-educat...
Smartphones have become extensions of the human mind. They contain our photographs, private conversations, financial records, political opinions, medical information, intimate relationships, browsing history, passwords, diaries, and increasingly our entire digital identities. If police can lawfully access and download the contents of a phone, they ...
Australia and the wider West are not merely facing political or economic headwinds. They are experiencing a deeper civilisational crisis: the loss of the spiritual and moral foundations that once held their societies together. Without a recovery of those foundations, decline will continue. And the only foundation capable of restoring them is Christ...
If you wanted a preview of Europe's future, you wouldn't need a crystal ball. You would only need to look across the Mediterranean at Ceuta, a small Spanish city on the African coast that has suddenly found itself at the centre of a very large political experiment. Where tens of thousands of illegals crossing from Morocco into Spanish territory hav...
In late July 2026, during a contentious Senate hearing in which Anthony Fauci repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment, Senator Rand Paul entered a Department of Energy letter into the congressional record. The letter stated that Bill Gates held a DOE "Q" security clearance from 2014 through 2021. That single bureaucratic detail, largely unnoticed fo...
This week began with an extraordinary decision of the Federal Court to uphold a finding that Senator Pauline Hanson has breached section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 for a social media post directed to another parliamentarian, Senator Maureen Faruqi. The key thing to know about this case is this: a politician on the left, Senator Faruq...
On the 30 July 2026, Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta experienced what local officials, police unions, and residents described as absolute chaos. Estimates put the number who crossed from Morocco in a short period at roughly 40,000 to 60,000 people, equivalent to 50–70 percent of the city's usual population of around 80,000. The overwhelming ...
Anti-feminism, properly understood, is not a rejection of women's dignity, legal equality, or the end of unjust barriers. It is a refusal to treat modern institutional feminism as an unquestionable moral authority when its claims collide with evidence, logic, and observable reality. Janice Fiamengo's recent essay on the Canadian Standing Committee ...
Octavian (later the Emperor Augustus) was offended when Mark Antony cheated on his sister (Octavia the Younger) with Cleopatra. However, he also knew that the embarrassing affair that became the talk of the town in Rome served his ultimate design to get rid of Mark Antony. Had Antony shown real contrition, left Cleopatra, and returned to Rome to pa...
There comes a point when satire throws up its hands in surrender. The late comedian Tom Lehrer famously retired because, in his words, political reality had become impossible to parody. Modern public life increasingly produces stories that sound less like journalism than rejected Monty Python sketches. The latest controversy surrounding Cambridge s...
The history of the transatlantic slave trade refuses to settle into a single, agreed-upon narrative. Each generation of scholars returns to the archive and finds something the last generation missed, and the argument over who profited, who suffered, and who held the reins of the trade continues without resolution. David Eltis and Stanley Engerman h...
In the world of exhibition shooting and competitive fast draw, few names carry the weight of Bob Munden. Born Robert William Munden Jr. on February 8, 1942, in Kansas City, Missouri, he became known as the "Fastest Man with a Gun Who Ever Lived": a title once bestowed by the Guinness Book of World Records. He died on December 10, 2012, at age 70 of...
"Forever chemicals," the nickname for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, have earned their name for a reason. These synthetic compounds resist breaking down in the environment and in the human body. Used for decades in non-stick cookware, food packaging, waterproof clothing, stain-resistant fabrics, firefighting foams and some personal-c...
