Next week’s climate beano at the UN is shaping up to be a bit of a fizzer. Rare as it is for the hangers-on and blood-suckers of Big Climate to turn down some free wine and cheese and business class flights, as we’ve already reported on The BFD,
Here’s why the 5 Star and Democrat coalition is cracking in Italy, and why Matteo Salvini is rising! If you have a great Youtube or Vimeo video to share send it to videos@thebfd.co.nz
If you were to believe the media and green alarmists (which are the same thing, really), you would be convinced that not only is an existential climate apocalypse looming, but that there is a worldwide mass movement demanding urgent and drastic action. Quite simply, neither is the least bit true.
As more Australian states succumb to the lobbying of euthanasia advocates, objections are continually hand-waved away by sneering elites. As always happens with these social justice fads, not only is contrary evidence ignored, advocates insist that there is absolutely no slippery slope. Then this happens… A 74-year-old Dutch woman with
Simon Bridges, leader of New Zealand’s main opposition party, is in China for a five-day visit. He shared his views with CGTN on China’s rapid development, poverty alleviation program, measures to boost bilateral cooperation and rising protectionism.

As Canadians get ready to vote in October, it’s worth casting an eye over the first-term career of Justin Trudeau and asking: what’s behind the unicorns and rainbows? Trudeau is, of course, one of the globalist left’s golden trio, along with Emmanuel Macron and Jacinda Ardern. BFD
In the first part of this series, I looked at just how flawed assumptions lead to wrong answers about how Australia and New Zealand should shape their strategic response to the “Rise of China”, especially its increasingly blatant efforts to turn the Pacific into a Chinese lake. Australia and New
In a previous series of articles (here and here), I examined the “hard strategic choices facing New Zealand” (and Australia), as outlined by national security academic Hugh White. As I noted in those articles, while many of White’s assumptions were dubious at best, he at least brings into sharp
Sheila Gunn Reid of TheRebel.media reports: Earlier this year Justin Trudeau announced a 650 million dollar bailout package to mainstream media companies. The handouts are going to be administered by a panel of journalists hand-selected by Liberals and then divvied out amongst media companies who have no idea why
One of the most memorable characters in Michael Crichton’s climate-thriller State of Fear is the pompous, egotistical actor-activist Ted Bradley. Bradley, who serves as both the avatar of Hollywood’s ignorant self-importance and as a foil for the book’s skeptic-heroes, comes to a hilariously bad end. As the
As I wrote recently, the leftist “Golden Trio” of Jacinda Ardern, Emmanuel Macron and Justin Trudeau have all been lumbered with feet of clay. By calling a general election for Canada in October, Trudeau will be the first of the three to face the judgement of voters. Trudeau has been
Slavoj Žižek is a ‘Continental’ philosopher and a Marxist (which is more or less a tautology), and he lives up to it. Like other famous ‘thinkers’ of that ilk, his stock-in-trade is avoiding anything like clarity of thought. Instead, they dance about, throwing verbal gesticulations around like so much word-confetti.
Although Clive Hamilton has been dismissed by some as a paranoid crank for his polemic, Silent Invasion: China’s Influence in Australia, he is being rapidly vindicated by events. Not only did many publishers refuse the book explicitly because they feared reprisals from Beijing, recent events have indeed shown just
Hayman Capital founder and CIO Kyle Bass is back. In this riveting conversation, he tells Raoul Pal exactly how, why, and when China’s economy will come unraveled. As China’s growth declines, Bass says that its currency is at the heart of a coming crisis. And with growth rates
Everyone by now should be familiar enough with Martin Niemöller’s famous, post-WWII lament, but just in case, it runs like this: First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did
The biggest problem for the left-elite class, all across the Western world, is their inability to pull their heads out of their collective arses and realise that there is a whole other world of people outside their quinoa-proof fence. People who not only don’t think like they do, but
