Finally, the Worm Is Turning
Trump advisor John Bolton has issued a clear warning to the Palestinian leadership this week. He has made it crystal clear that they can continue funding terrorists and their families or they can have American funds. They can’t have both. […] Stop funding terror or there will be no U.
It’s Almost Like They Don’t Want Peace or Prosperity
This week, the Trump administration is holding its “Peace to Prosperity” conference, which seeks to pursue the strategy of empowering economic growth in the Palestinian territories as a key plank to establishing peace. This is a plausible strategy: the evidence of history is that wealthy nations generally avoid conflict with
Exposed: Forced Organ Harvesting in China has taken Place ‘On a Significant Scale’
While Hong Kong is protesting against the Chinese Regime, on the other side of the world the topic of Forced Organ Harvesting in China is in the spotlight. After a year-long investigation, an independent people’s tribunal has unanimously concluded that prisoners of conscience are being killed in China to
Dark Clouds of History Gather Over Hong Kong
For those of us who remember the events of 1989, the escalating events in Hong Kong are starting to sound horribly familiar. When Hong Kong was handed over to Beijing twenty years ago, the great worry was that the Western-style democratic freedoms its people enjoyed would be trampled by the
Race or culture? Either way, the left are wrong
When Patrick Gower interviewed Lauren Southern and Stefan Molyneux, one topic that had him clutching his pearls with particular horror was Molyneux’s temerity in discussing the fact that there are distinct differences in average IQ between different racial groups. I’m not entirely convinced that Molyneux understands this topic
We would not win WWII today
While world leaders gather to remember D-Day of 75 years ago, the Allies are so deeply divided it’s hard to think them capable of reaching a consensus before a war was concluded. Before President Donald Trump arrived for his state visit to the UK, he was the brunt of
Threats of violent extremism follow Indonesia’s elections
As I wrote back in April, Indonesia’s neighbours would be keeping a nervous eye on that nation’s presidential elections. Indonesia is threatened by the same kind of violent polarisation that is dividing democracies around the world. The world’s largest Islamic nation is also under threat from the
Conspiracy theories are ok if you’re Green
The legacy media had an epic meltdown when Pauline Hanson appeared to question the official account of the Port Arthur massacre. Of course, the footage – like everything else about the questionable hack job perpetrated on One Nation last month – was edited so badly that it was difficult to discern what
The left’s updated version of Fawlty Towers
Take equal parts “tolerance, respect and understanding”, throw in a bit of “illumination” and voila! You have created the left’s updated version of Fawlty Towers ‘Don’t mention the war’ episode. Last week the luvvies have been conflicted, severely, and, not knowing what to do in fear of breaching
The Chinese whispers undermining democracy and freedom
Clive Hamilton?s Silent Invasion details the many ways that the Chinese communists are extending their tentacles into Western democracies like Australia. From real estate to primary production, to government infrastructure contracts, Beijing is pouring rivers of cash into its ?Silk Road? grab for world domination. Academia and telecommunications are
An honorary Oiler
By Owen Jennings Who said this? We stand here, amid the debris of one of the greatest and most beautiful civilizations the world has ever known. But like the other countries that belong to this boreal world, we are being destroyed by those who ought to protect us. We are
Another step on the path to the African Century
When I tell people, as I have been doing for some years now, that the 21st century will eventually be known as the African, not the Chinese, century, they usually look at me as if I?ve taken leave of my senses. It?s understandable, perhaps: for most of the
