It's the phrase that powered Operation Warp Speed: "Safe and effective." Billboards blared it, Fauci preached it, and billions rolled up sleeves under its banner. Fast-forward to November 2025, and a fresh Rasmussen Reports survey – polling 1,292 U.S. adults from November 10-12 – drops a reality check that's equal parts vindication and indictment. ...
Moderna's scientists, including lead author Staci Sabnis, submitted a study in late 2017 (accepted March 2018, published June 2018) to Molecular Therapy detailing biodistribution of their novel lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for mRNA delivery. The paper focused on an amino-lipid series for mRNA-1325 (a Zika vaccine candidate), showing LNPs trafficked r...
You step off the train at Euston, the once-grand Victorian arches now a gateway to grit, and the air hits you like a slap: urine-soaked concrete, the acrid tang of synthetic weed wafting from huddled figures in sleeping bags, and the distant wail of sirens chasing shadows. It's November 2025, and London – that eternal, swaggering metropolis – feels...
Picture this: A tiny Gulf state, smaller than Connecticut and home to just 300,000 citizens, wields a sovereign wealth fund north of $500 billion, enough to bankroll global sports leagues, Hollywood blockbusters, and, crucially, the intellectual pipelines of the West. Qatar, the self-proclaimed "beacon of moderation," hosts Hamas leaders in luxury ...
Imagine lying in a humming MRI machine, eyes flicking across silent video clips: a diver plunging into turquoise waves, a child chasing fireflies at dusk. No words spoken; no movements made. Yet, from the faint magnetic echoes of blood rushing through your neurons, an AI conjures sentences – "A young girl runs through a field, laughing as glowing i...
The essay: https://dailyreckoning.com/dont-fall-in-the-china-trap/ presents a stark, bearish assessment of China's economy, framing it as teetering on the brink of collapse with potential ripple effects on the global monetary system. It draws on recent data points like weakening industrial output, retail sales, and fixed-asset investment (FAI), alo...
There are times when two seemingly distant worlds speak to one another with surprising clarity. One such pairing is the economic–philosophical vision of Major C. H. Douglas and the mythopoetic universe of J. R. R. Tolkien. One offers a diagnosis of the moral–economic decay of modern civilisation and a blueprint for its regeneration; the other...
John Leake's latest dispatch (see link below) from the front lines of disillusionment hits like a gut punch from an old ally who's just realized the revolution was a rerun. After years of riding-or-dying for Trump, through impeachments, raids, and election-night nail-biters, he's staring at the Epstein files saga and seeing not a smoking gun, but a...
In the annals of public health, few dogmas have been more fiercely guarded than the CDC's ironclad mantra: "Vaccines do not cause autism." It was the sacred cow of paediatric medicine, trotted out to silence sceptics, fund boosters, and reassure frantic parents. For three decades, it was presented not as a hypothesis, but as gospel, backed by the f...
Billie Eilish, pop priestess of the perpetually aggrieved, recently received a standing ovation from the Left for her economic wisdom: "If you're a billionaire, give your money away." Translation: "I have never created a job, balanced a budget, or read a P&L in my life, but I know exactly how to fix poverty, by confiscating the wealth of people...
Elon Musk has a way of distilling cosmic truths into casual barbs that hit like a Falcon 9 re-entry. His latest zinger, fired off on X in response to Alex Soros's defiant tweet about the Open Society Foundations (OSF) "standing firm" amid Trump administration scrutiny, lands with the precision of a missile: "Can you stop trying to destroy civilizat...
London, 22 November 2025 – Home Secretary Yvette "Hugs Not Hate" Cooper today unveiled the government's bold new policing strategy that finally solves the online-speech epidemic once and for all. Why waste time and money chasing down 10,000 individual offenders every year (see link below), sending actual officers to actual doors because someone in ...
Mark Keenan (link below) just wrote the quietest declaration of war you'll read all year, and it is aimed squarely at the soft totalitarian spirit of our age. His thesis is simple, brutal, and correct: the campaign to "re-educate," "detoxify," and "redefine" masculinity is not about making men kinder or the world gentler. It is about making truth i...
Victor Davis Hanson (link below) just fired a precision-guided missile into the heart of progressive sanctimony, and the explosion is glorious. In one short column he has done what the Left's own internal contradictions have been doing for years: he has made its loudest priests look clownish, exhausted, and increasingly detached from reality. The p...
For at least thirty years the public was sold a comforting fairy tale: a daily glass of red wine was practically medicine. Resveratrol! French paradox! A neat J-shaped curve in every epidemiology textbook showing that light-to-moderate drinkers lived longer and kept their marbles better than teetotallers or lushes. That story is now dead. The autop...
Swirling in the chaotic vortex of climate discourse, where headlines scream apocalypse and policy demands trillions in "green" spending, a new report from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) lands like a contrarian thunderclap. Titled A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate, released on July 23, 2025, this 151-p...
There used to be a quiet miracle across rural Germany, Austria, and Scandinavia: little unmanned farm stalls and open fridges by the side of the road. Fresh eggs, homemade jam, bottles of milk. A price list and a cash box. No clerk, no camera, no lock. Just the assumption that the person taking the butter would leave the correct money. It worked fo...
How empires fall is not a mystery of war or conquest; it is a tragedy of the mind. The greatest civilisations in history did not perish beneath the blades of invaders but crumbled from within, eroded by leaders and institutions that lost their grip on reality. "How do empires fall? Not by war, but by unbalanced minds disconnected from reality." The...
A borderless battlefield for expression: in an era where digital platforms transcend national boundaries, the tension between online safety and free speech has escalated into a geopolitical flashpoint. Australia's Online Safety Act (OSA) of 2021, enforced by the eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant, exemplifies this clash. What began as a domesti...
November 14, 2025, in a Berlin briefing that could double as a corporate motivational seminar, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius assures the nation: "There is no cause for concern, no cause for fear." The occasion? A shiny new coalition bill greenlighting "needs-based" conscription to bulk up the Bundeswehr into Europe's beefiest conventional...
