The Betrayal of Britain: Dark Visions of Doom and the Remedies Needed to Survive

The solutions proposed are dramatic, but not compared to possible alternatives: social collapse, ethnic strife, or, if Professor David Betz’s warnings prove true, civil war.

Reading The Betrayal of Britain, a collection of essays just published by the New Culture Forum (NCF), a line from Machiavelli kept coming to mind: “Men sooner forget the death of their father than the loss of their patrimony.” The twelve essays by different authors crackle with anger and frustration at what a once-great Britain has become. This book has the power to red pill readers—if it doesn’t black pill them first.

‘Hot girls on SSRIs’: Antidepressants are trending on TikTok. Not everyone is happy about that

In a TikTok video shared with her followers last year, Tiffany Kay described how the antidepressant Lexapro was, “poof,” like magic, making life much better, “which I did not think was possible.”

That cinder block of anxiety no longer weighs on her chest, Kay, 29, recently told National Post. She’s able to sleep at night, less emotional and not overthinking things the way she used to, or getting caught up in the “what-ifs.”

World leaders gripe over US arrest of tyrant Nicolás Maduro, despite legal precedent: ‘Deeply alarmed’

Many world leaders whined Saturday over the capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife, claiming the clandestine US mission was an unnecessary use of force — despite a legal precedent for it.

Allies Russia, Iran, China and Colombia were among the nations lining up Saturday to demand the Trump administration release Maduro and first lady Cilia Flores, who were headed to New York City to face federal charges of narcoterrorism.


Trump’s toppling of Maduro is fraught with risk – what happens next is unclear

The US may want many of its foes gone from power. It doesn’t usually send in the military and physically remove them.

Venezuela’s abrupt awakening took two forms.

Its residents were woken abruptly to the sound of deafening booms: the sound of its capital Caracas under attack from US strikes targeting military infrastructure.


Which world leaders have been captured by US previously

The reported capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has placed him among a small and controversial group of world leaders seized by the United States, reviving memories of past U.S. intervention that reshaped entire regions.

With his capture, Maduro would join figures such as Iraq’s Saddam Hussein and Panama’s Manuel Noriega, whose arrests marked defining moments in US foreign policy.

Mark Carney in 2026: Progressive pivot or Progressive Conservative?

Consensus analysis of the 2025 election results includes this thesis: centre-left ‘progressive’ voters abandoned the NDP and voted for the Liberals under Prime Minister Carney and gave him his victory.

Why? Two broad reasons: 1) to unite against Donald Trump and 2) to unite against the possibility that Pierre Poilievre could be prime minister.

Of course, there is more to it than that, but there’s no question that the worst showing for the NDP in history was accretive to the Liberals and that ‘progressive’ voters gave Mark Carney his victory against Pierre Poilievre despite Pierre’s strong showing – the best vote percentage for a Conservative campaign since 1988.

“The Warmth of Collectivism” Comes to City Hall: Zohran Mamdani takes office with big dreams—and dubious plans.

“Today begins a new era,” declared Zohran Mamdani upon his swearing in yesterday as New York City’s 112th mayor. “Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”

Inaugural ceremonies aren’t usually a forum for deep deliberation and rational discourse. But a new leader’s words are rarely disconnected from his underlying philosophy. Mamdani’s inaugural comments therefore give us an idea of what to expect: claiming to represent “all” New Yorkers, the new mayor will work quickly to push through decisions unpopular at best, and harmful at worst.

Ontario school board embeds Islamophobia lessons while neglecting antisemitism

Freedom of information documents reveal a stark double standard inside the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board, where Islamophobia is woven deeply into the curriculum across math, art, literacy and social studies, at the expense of antisemitism education.

Despite Jews facing the overwhelming majority of hate crimes in the region, the subject of antisemitism barely earns a handful of standalone handouts.

Iran’s Exponentiating Missile Threat: Will the U.S. and Europe Just Sit and Watch?

Since the end of Iran’s 12-day war with Israel, there has been mounting evidence that its regime has been ramping up missile production. Tehran’s perspective is straightforward: if its nuclear program has become more vulnerable, then its missile arsenal must increase as a compensatory tool of power.

It is no secret that the Iranian regime has been accelerating and expanding its ballistic missile program at an alarming pace, and has invested heavily in improving the range, accuracy, survivability, and payload capacity of its missiles. These missiles – now part of reportedly the largest missile arsenal in the Middle East – can reach not only regional targets but also the U.S. and Europe, a senior Iranian lawmaker has openly boasted.

Lights out, then US forces with blowtorches came for Maduro

The Venezuelan dictator was in a supposed safe house when the Delta Force commandos burst in just after 2am and snatched him and his wife, before his security team had time to secure the property’s final defence of two heavy steel doors. Even if they had, the Americans were armed with blowtorches.

Within minutes Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores were being flown by helicopter across a moonlit Caribbean Sea to the USS Iwo Jima, an amphibious assault ship. They are expected to be sent to a New

York federal detention centre before facing trial on drug trafficking charges.
The swiftness of the capture has led to speculation that Maduro may have been betrayed by someone in his inner circle. His personal security was understood to have been overseen by Cuba.
