THE Covid-19 Inquiry is the latest demonstration that UK public inquiries have long since been reduced to an unfunny joke at the expense of UK citizens, and one would have to be naïve in the extreme to expect to find much of anything of value in the conclusions they publish. One did, however, think that useful information […]
DAWN Kalenda was taking her 15-year-old daughter Zizzella to school in her electric car. As she exited the garage she heard the beep of her pay-per-km meter start recording. It didn’t matter very much because the first few kilometres were not that expensive; it was only when drivers went more than ten kilometres that the […]
WHILE the global pandemic and the climate crisis provide the overarching justifications for an elite-led global economic reset, it is clear that the make-up and constitution of society was itself ‘advantageous’ for such a transformation to be pursued. Mattias Desmet’s ideas on ‘mass formation psychosis’ quickly became the go-to theory in 2020 to explain the […]

The leading candidate in the race is William Lai Ching-te, who is also the current Vice President. William Lai represents the Democratic Progressive Party which is center left when it comes […]
The Jeffrey Epstein saga has been long. Much has been forgotten, and much is still covered up. Epstein’s “black book” is still hidden–the revelations of the past 24 hours are just what came out during one trial, and the government is still hiding the ball when it comes to more shocking revelations. Don’t be fooled; […]
Holy SMOKING HOLE, there’s nothing but good news today! First the NY wind farm blows over, then the NJ gov’s bloviating, holier-than-thou facade blows up, and now? The Biden administration finally grew a pair and blew a hole in an Iranian-backed militia leader’s evil dreams of death and destruction right in the middle of his […]
