Should defence lawyers decide which media may cover court proceedings?

Document became the focus when lawyer Mette Yvonne Larsen objected to our presence at a trial in Hamar concerning a school fire in Løten. Larsen launched a frontal attack, citing rulings against us by the Norwegian Press Complaints Commission (PFU) and assuming that we would not respect the reporting restrictions. Other media present, however, protested against the attempt to exclude Document.

Incredible statements from Conservative deputy leader

Ola Svenneby said on Politisk kvarter that it is permissible to say that one would like to see a bullet through Gaute Skjervø’s head. He also cited comments saying that one bullet might not be enough, because it would encounter so much fat and ‘wood’. At the same time, he reproached Jon Helgheim for not taking the threats against Skjervø seriously enough.

Conservative deputy leader hands Labour Youth chief the trump card he needs

With Conservative deputy leader Svenneby’s help, Labour Youth chief Skjervø can dismiss criticism of his attack on Document and Labour’s policies as abuse, threats and dangerous hatred, avoiding accountability for what he actually said and did. Yet ex-Progress Party youth leader Simen Velle and his family recently received death threats serious enough for the secret services to investigate, while the Progress Party leader has endured serious threats for years.

Islam Net has gone mainstream – What does that say about Norway?

Morgenbladet has a 12-page report on Islam Net, which has become a power factor in Islamic Norway, with NOK 277 million in operating income and NOK 164 million in the bank, as much as the Catholic Diocese of Oslo. As its income has grown, Islam Net has gained acceptance among other Muslim organisations. They talk to one another. But so do Islamic organisations and the authorities.

Thank you! Never forget

Something has changed when a fierce attack on Document backfires on those behind it. An audience is emerging that understands what is happening. One that cannot be bought with cheap rhetoric. We thank the readers who stand by us and increasingly send us tips about a Norway being destroyed by woke ideology. Reality has a bitter taste, but it is the only thing that will do.

Government policy – All spin, like a bad supermarket ad

Arendalsuka, Norway’s annual festival of politics and political correctness, is over for 2026. As the power elite packs up, the private sector is left deeply uneasy. Labour appears increasingly panicked, with the left seeking to suppress criticism. Its growing aggression betrays weakness. Government policy increasingly resembles a bad supermarket advert: working flat out for the customers. Indeed.

How human beings lose their protection

As soon as human beings are given the power to define human worth, absolute human worth is abolished. For when it depends on human beings themselves, it is not anchored in anything higher than ourselves. Only God gives us the position that safeguards human worth. Secular humanism claims to place human beings at the centre, but instead deprives them of God’s protection. We see the consequences time and again.

Scottish transgender activism exposes an utterly outrageous fraud

The transgender-woman couple Sophie Molly and Heather Herbert have long characterised the transgender-activist milieu in Scotland and obtained financing from naïve donors. But their fantastic fraud is beginning to unravel. The emperor is naked – in this case also totally repulsive and perhaps even criminal. Herbert hoped that the murder of Ann Widdecombe had been an “extremely painful death”. Those who support mentally unstable people such as this probably have a degree of mental disturbance themselves.

Alternative to what? When Norway’s media authority becomes the arbiter of reality

The Norwegian Media Authority has expressed concern about people who find themselves outside a ‘common public sphere’, and links disengagement from editor-controlled media to polarisation, security and a possible risk of radicalisation. The Authority also explicitly asks what happens when ‘social and alternative media’ increasingly set the terms for the information to which people are exposed.

‘My Dear’: Norwegian PM sidesteps the question Norwegians want answered

Jonas Gahr Støre revealed during the party leaders’ debate in Arendal that the Norgespris rate is not guaranteed to remain at 40 øre. The scheme will remain until 2029, but not necessarily the price. He strongly hinted that it would be adjusted, giving himself considerable political room for manoeuvre.
