“These are Worrying Times for My Generation”

Pride Day has just passed in my hometown of Hull. Pride flags were publicly displayed, replacing Union flags; countless posters were plastered on shop windows and adverts invaded social media feeds. One could not miss that the event was approaching. Fortunately, away in Stockport watching football, I escaped the parade of men in dresses; their giveaway cock and balls openly dangling between their legs. This came weeks into Pride Month, a fleeting four weeks dedicated to the LGBTQwerty community. Pride awareness, however, does not stop there. There are more upcoming events in a local town around Hull: the Pride of Beverley, which is also hosting a Dog Walk of Pride – hold me back. It is evident this community is always in the limelight. What for though? Scaring children, exploiting women and playing fancy dress?

Why the West must fight for its history

The culture war against the past is depriving us of a future.

In my new book, The War Against the Past: Why the West Must Fight For Its History, I argue that unless we retrieve our historical memory, we are doomed to a state of cultural paralysis.

This act of retrieval won’t be easy. Our historical memory is under sustained assault by a significant swathe of our cultural elites. While many involved in this culture war appear to be focussed on controlling the way we speak and think in the here and now, their main mission is to render toxic the legacy of Western civilisation. This ceaseless attack on our history threatens to distort society’s memory of the past and create a state of historical amnesia.

No English Culture for England

Over the weekend, The Daily Telegraph published an article which revealed that almost “£1.5 million in taxpayer funding has been awarded to a research project that aims to ‘decolonise’ folk singing.” Such research is surprisingly typical within universities at least in one respect, namely that the funding is awarded on the grounds that the conclusion of the research is determined long before any research begins. Hence, in no way can this be understood as scholarship, but rather it possesses both the form and the content of propaganda, and for a particular kind of regime.

Whetting the Appetite for Battle

The West is in the midst of a culture war which is often dull, sometimes hilarious, and always exhausting. Fighting BackDefending Britain and the West in the Culture War, produced by The New Culture Forum, dispels such fatigue and whets the appetite for battle. With nine short essays, it aims to rejuvenate ordinary people with thoughtful reflections and practical advice on how to navigate a relentless culture war which otherwise saps them of strength.

Who is the enemy? It is nowhere near as brutal as the Nazi or Soviet totalitarian experiments, though its lack of solidity or a defined outline can make it more challenging to confront directly. The ‘wokesters,’ as they have come to be called, prefer Kafkaesque probes into alleged thought crime to the torture rack, they opt for digital cancellation before reaching for the iron rod, and they skilfully weaponize liberal values, such as freedom and equality, rather than dragging them through the mud like unsubtle tyrants.

The Ads Tell the Story

In Against the Great Reset, Harry Stein asks how the Left has managed to subvert the culture and trample so effectively upon the fundamental concepts of decency, equality, justice, morality, and even human biology itself, not to mention humor and modesty. The answer may be found not only in policy and power wielded from the top but also in the gradual saturation of the public mind with a vast set of implicit assumptions regarding what constitutes enlightened societal advancement. In other words, a large part of the answer is the Left’s near-absolute domination of mass popular culture — music, film, sports, news media, entertainment, and so on — all infused with the values and conventions that reflect the progressivist worldview. “We have been slow to recognize,” Stein writes, “the extent to which the culture has been weaponized against us.”

Holy Bible and ‘Diary of Anne Frank’ too hot for school district

The Jerusalem Post explained the books are being removed as the latest “in a string of book removals being implemented at schools at the behest of conservative activist parents and school board members.”

It is the district in the Fort Worth area that ordered librarians to remove the Bible.

Queen Victoria cancelled in Toronto, public school renamed to Dr. Rita Cox-Kina MInogok

A group of black activists and Toronto school officials have quietly cancelled Queen Victoria.

The name of a Parkdale public school was changed near the end of June from Queen Victoria to Dr. Rita Cox-Kina MInogok public school.

The change came with little fanfare, likely considering the outrage from several at the prospect of cancelling history when the project was first announced in May of 2021.

Culture, Economy: Trudeau Prepares Canada For Transfer To Dictatorship

To conclude that our prime minister is the grand inquisitor of political transformation is complete folly. He doesn’t have the mental aptitude. What he does have is a mind impressionable enough to believe he could transition from national leader to demi-god of globalism.

As such, Justin Trudeau was chosen as a figurehead– and talking head– for the great Canadian reformation.

The culture war over the Middle Ages

The left thinks it was too white while the Catholic New Right sees much to admire

There is a war afoot, here in late civilization, over the meaning and legacy of the Middle Ages. Two distinct fronts have emerged from either side of our political spectrum. On the left, in the academy, medievalism is being diversified out of existence, its defining Western characteristics relegating it to a smaller place in a global mosaic. On the right, a certain breed of new conservative is reclaiming the Middle Ages as a keystone period in which order and reason ruled, instead of the swivel-headed “scientism” of pure observation brought on by the Enlightenment.

Trudeau Bans Use Of “Father” And “Mother” For Government Employees

In his dystopian novel “1984,” social visionary George Orwell coined the term “Wordspeak.” Under the leadership of PM Justin Trudeau, its application is a reality in Canadian society. Indeed, the Liberals have become fixated on such terminology. Border-jumpers are not “illegal,” they are “irregular.” It is not a carbon tax, put rather a “price on pollution.”

Now, the Trudeau government establish punitive measures for those using common-place language that has been a part of western culture for a thousand years. Quite the move for a former snow-board instructor turned pseudo-dictator.

The New Order of Fear: The Great Reset Trilogy

Jochen Stenhammar was hired by the wealthy Hessen Reinsurance Company to track potential political instability. But now he finds himself thrown into a murderous political game.

Fear is being weaponized to unleash violence in Europe, home to those who created the Great Reset. But who is behind the reckless violence? Why are the Islamists using violence to create caliphates in France?

Jochen scrambles to track the forces pushing Europe to war while keeping a wary eye on his own boss, who is one of the elites who might be involved.

Worse still, Jochen begins to realize that the fear campaign, which started with the COVID 19 pandemic, may reach beyond Europe when the Canadian Prime Minister is strangled with Halal socks, a gift from a cabinet minister. But why is the assassin from Khalistan? The problem becomes global, when Iranian terrorists attack New York.

Why the Classroom Activists Never Give Up

It is often said that when something controversial is being pounded into the public via media headlines, there is something else that is going on behind the scenes that the public is being distracted from. This is certainly the case with America’s education system. While the public has been hammered with a full-frontal assault by activists pushing Critical Race Theory and gender ideology in the schools overtly, there has also been a covert assault from the flank called Social-Emotional Learning or SEL.
