Trade Union LO: We’ve taken Norad funds since 1979 – Probably more than a billion NOK

What began as Document’s exposé of over 700 million kroner flowing from the aid budget to LO has been updated: the confirmed total since 1999 stands at 715 million. But the money trail actually stretches back 20 years further – potentially pushing the grand total up by another half a billion kroner.

Who in Norway’s Foreign Ministry endorsed Epstein?

We note that the Prime Minister, in the media, “repeats his call for the Royal Household to show openness about Epstein connections”. The media speculate as to why he has received no response from the Palace. Could the explanation simply be that the Royal Household strictly observes a loyalty to the Norwegian authorities that prevents it from revealing who it was that misled the Crown Princess?

How Norway’s public broadcaster frames reality

When a news programme treats a legal conclusion as the entry ticket to debate, the discussion shifts from reasoned assessment to tribal alignment. Viewers are not shown the criteria, evidence, or legal thresholds involved. Instead, a moral hierarchy emerges: those who accept the premise appear responsible, while those who question it risk being cast as suspect.

Norwegian broadcaster praised ramadan chocolate – Then all criticism was branded ‘Hate’

NRK personality Noman Mubashir shared an image of Freia’s Ramadan chocolate and wrote that “Muslims are also a small piece of Norway”, paraphrasing Freia’s slogan that its milk chocolate is “a little piece of Norway”. We made a video disagreeing. The response was enormous, with most people siding with us. Several media outlets then contacted me to ask what I thought about the reactions – and, most remarkably, what responsibility I bear for the reactions of others.

Everything they took from you

Norwegian politicians talk endlessly about “security”, yet security is among the many goods Norwegians have lost over the past 30–40 years. Economic freedom and a functioning labour market are others; the moral cohesion of society is another. Not everything was better before, but mass immigration, globalism, corruption and political experimentation have radically degraded the quality of Norwegian society. Young people should be furious about what irresponsible politicians have taken from them.

Why Norway should not have nuclear weapons – Its own or others’

Nuclear weapons on Norwegian soil would clearly contribute to deterrence and reduce the risk of a conventional attack on Norway. But they would simultaneously increase the risk of a pre-emptive strike in a heightened confrontation between the great powers. The development of tactical nuclear weapons has also lowered the threshold for their use. If the war in Ukraine escalates further, or if a crisis emerges in the Barents Sea or the Baltic region, the Kremlin’s calculations would change radically.

Morality as a weapon of collective hatred

The left, this self-proclaimed bastion of justice and compassion, reveals itself through a deeply troubling double standard that undermines the very foundation of universal ethics. Their moral reflex appears not principled but tribalistic: loyalty to their own group overrides any consistent norm, and the result is an ethic corrupted to the core – a perverted version of humanism that serves power games rather than human dignity.

In a decadent West, only two stand firm

We are witnessing Huntington’s clash of civilisations, and some of our own stand on the other side. The rest respond largely with whining, capitulation or wounded indignation over the war with Iran. But the United States and Israel stand firm – while schools in Barcelona avoid music and dancing during Ramadan out of consideration for Muslim pupils. Do you see the picture? For Europe it has now become almost natural to lose.

Norway is no longer on the sidelines — It is now a frontline state

With the bomb outside the U.S. Embassy, Norway has become a frontline state. We have become part of the war. People living in Norway are willing to use violence to strike the USA and Israel in their conflict with Iran, bringing that war onto Norwegian soil. It raises a series of new questions: why Norway in particular?

Norway’s largest trade union, LO, has received more than 700 million NOK from the country’s foreign aid budget

It’s not just the trade union (LO) members who end up sponsoring the election campaigns of the Labour Party (Ap), Socialist Left Party (SV), Centre Party (Sp), and Red Party (Rødt). All taxpayers are contributing — through the aid budget. Without money from the aid budget, LO would have had to choose between supporting the red-green parties and building up international organisations.
