An Antidote to the Woke Virus

“Western Civilization is being ideologically colonized.” The culprit is the virus of woke ideology, which has spread across the organizational systems of liberal Western societies to infect established institutions. The aim is a purified utopia based on the comprehensive enforcement of ‘equity,’ ‘diversity,’ and ‘inclusion.’ This is the starting point of the short book, Counter Wokecraft, written by engineering professor Charles Pincourt and the founding president of New Discourses, James Lindsay; their main ambition is to supply an antidote to the cultural infestation.

Laurence Fox: sacrificed to the gods of eco-fascism

The BBC and its kin will insist that Laurence Fox’s ‘crime’ involved taking an on-air dig at a female journalist after she made hurtful remarks about men’s mental health.

It was a single comment using language that mimicked hers and yet Fox, a straight white bloke occupying the lowest tier in the Oppression Olympics, deserved the full witch-burning treatment. There is no forgiveness in a world run by social justice because the punishment is designed for the person – not the crime.

When Canadian politicians applauded a Nazi

Historically ignorant parliamentarians are now trying to memory-hole the whole affair.

When Prince Harry dressed up as a Nazi at a fancy-dress party in 2005, it didn’t go down very well. Doug Henderson, the former UK armed-forces minister, went as far to suggest that the young prince should be prevented from joining the army.

How times have changed. In 2005, dressing up as a Nazi at a party was an unforgivable sin. But in 2023, giving standing ovations to an actual Nazi – a former member of the Waffen-SS, no less – is just ‘complicated’.

Sweden Dying – Her neighbors watch – and worry.

When I first moved to Norway in 1999, I often heard the term amerikanske tilstander – “American conditions.” It was never, ever used positively; it didn’t refer, for example, to things like freedom and prosperity. No, it was always used to describe some dreaded social or cultural or economic phenomenon that was supposedly on the rise in Norway and that threatened to make the country look more like – horrors! – the United States. Evangelical Christianity? Amerikanske tilstander! Gun crime? Amerikanske tilstander! Rough-and-tumble election campaigns? Dumb TV shows? Private medical options? Growing economic inequality? Amerikanske tilstander!

The German authorities are still investigating the incident, but it is as of yet unclear what precisely happened.

Putin calls Canadian parliament’s applause of Nazi veteran ‘disgusting’

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday called the Canadian parliament’s standing ovations to honour a Ukrainian war veteran who served in one of Adolf Hitler’s Waffen SS units “disgusting” and said it showed Moscow was right to “de-Nazify” Ukraine.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last month formally apologized after the speaker of the House of Commons praised a Nazi veteran in the chamber while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was present.

Legal cocaine is coming, this Canadian startup predicts

A startup just listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange with a business model based on a provocative prediction: legal cocaine is coming.

Safe Supply Streaming Co. is betting on a so-called third wave of policy changes that would decriminalize hard drugs, following similar measures making cannabis and psychedelics more mainstream. It plans to acquire companies that could benefit, such as fentanyl test-strip makers, addiction clinics and energy drinks containing coca leaf, according to chief executive Bill Panagiotakapoulos.

Trudeau’s Deepening Political Decline

Is luck running out for Justin Trudeau? After years of defying political gravity, the laws of physics, and his own errors, might be beginning to catch up with the Canadian leader.

According to an Eksos poll released on September 24, Trudeau’s Liberals are trailing new opposition leader Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives by 19 points, 42 percent to 23 percent – the largest margin reported for any party in any poll in 18 years. While that result may be something of an outlier, the polling average on 338.com, a Canadian polling aggregator, has the Conservatives ahead by 9 percent and set to win a majority for the first time in 12 years.

Trudeau Liberals among the world’s most radically environmentalist governments

Canada under Justin Trudeau and the Liberals is being a climate Boy Scout. Or Puritan. Or cultish fundamentalist. Take your pick.

Under the former Kyoto accord, which Canada withdrew from more than a decade ago, we were also the only country to self-impose stringent binding emissions targets until, thankfully, former prime minister Stephen Harper and his Conservative government backed out.

Eyewitness report a Mexican cartel island crawling with gang members … in Texas

In the early dawn’s orange glow, a Texas Rangers commander briefs a heavily armed invasion force.

They’re preparing to seize a remote, 170-acre Mexican cartel-controlled island in the middle of the Rio Grande River overlooked by sniper nests and potentially booby-trapped.

Some of the dozens of assembled men shift from one foot to another or reposition their M-4 rifles as they listen to their commanders’ instructions.
