Nathanael Blake mercatornet.com Warning Long Read. 1517 Normal people believe that sexualising children is predatory. But, in light of the recent passage of a Florida bill that would restrict instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity in elementary schools, it is clear that many activist educators and their political
There’s a strange disease that seems to be transmitted by a modern university education: an almost reflexive, self-loathing of the Western and White. It’s not particularly new — Orwell, for instance, wrote about how “a derisive and mildly hostile attitude… is more or less compulsory, but it is
I once saw a young man wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with Che Guevara’s iconic image. Which wouldn’t be at all memorable, were it not for what was written under the image: “Because my Hitler, Stalin and Mao t-shirts are in the wash”. Well played, young man:
Makeha Paori Racism and hypocrisy are stepping up another level with the attack on voters in Rotorua. The value of a Pakeha vote will be reduced to 58% of a Maori vote. Ardern’s government is justifying this attack with unwritten “Treaty principles” about partnership. This is astonishing because Rotorua
It’s fun to watch videos of American graduates being asked geography questions. Not only do many of these students think that Australia is in Europe, that Africa is a country rather than a continent, and that NZ is in Middle Earth (we’ll give them a pass on that

Jacinda Ardern once famously stated that her government would be the most transparent ever. That, like her claim to never tell lies, was a lie. Transparency, for her government, has become an optional extra, and nothing more than a slogan to use when they are about to lie. See what
The Director of Health stood on the Pulpit of Truth and not once corrected the lies and absolute fear-mongering that Prime Minister Ardern was uttering. Now we have Bloomfield’s key staff resigning before they have the opportunity to correct their enormous mistakes. If you enjoyed this article please
Michael Senger brownstone.org The Wall Street Journal published a piece titled “Shanghai Has Recorded More Than 130,000 Covid Cases—and No Deaths.” Seeing the darkly comic headline, I was excited. Finally, after two years, the WSJ appeared to be calling out the data fraud that was the foundation
The Greens leader has spectacularly failed the test of one of his party’s key policy obsessions. In the Greens’ policy literature, the invocation of the phrase “critical thinking” stands out, again and again. Adam Bandt yesterday demonstrated the opposite. When Bandt dismissed a journalist’s question by sneering, “Google
Michael Cook mercatornet.com Michael Cook is the editor of MercatorNet. He lives in Sydney, Australia. Shocking allegations about Chinese organ donation have been made in a leading medical journal, the American Journal of Transplantation.

A thick, glossy brochure dropped in my mailbox the other day: it turned out to be Pauline Hanson’s One Nation election manifesto. Clearly, the minor party think this election is their big chance. Certainly, no other party’s election mailouts have explained so many policies in such detail (when
