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.

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.

Norway’s parliamentary parties receive 125 million in “Development Aid”

The parties represented in the Storting (Norwegian parliament) have received nearly NOK 125 million (nearly GBP 10 million) through the aid budget. Only the Progress Party (FrP) is not part of this fine company. This “development aid” from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs began in 1999, when Kjell Magne Bondevik was prime minister. The Christian Democratic Party (KrF) has received the most. Next come the Liberal Party (V), the Labour Party (Ap), and the Socialist Left Party (Sosialistisk Venstreparti), with the Centre Party (Sp) in a solid fifth place, ahead of the Conservative Party (H). Just under 20 percent has gone to the youth wings of the parties, and just over 11 percent goes to administration in Norway.

Why Europe is terrified of taking a stand against Iran

Europe’s jitters about regime change in Iran stem from Iran’s proven ability to sow chaos across Western Europe.
That’s why Keir Starmer told a Muslim iftar gathering that Britain did not bomb Iran — and was met with applause.
Useless Europeans are terrified and increasingly submissive to Islam (yet tough on Russians).
And soon a convicted jihad terrorist is set to win an election in Birmingham.

Iranian “refugees” mourn Khamenei in Norway – Journalist harassed while covering it: Unprecedented

In Trondheim, Norway, a group of self-described Iranian “refugees” gathered to mourn and praise Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei—the very regime many claim to have fled—after his recent death in U.S.-Israeli strikes.
As a journalist trying to cover the event, I was physically chased away, while local police saw no issue with it.
The rally was organized by Norwegian left-wing and pro-Palestinian groups, including major trade unions and political parties. In over two decades as a member of Norway’s journalists’ association, I’ve never witnessed anything like this in central Trondheim.

The media have entered the war

On the fourth day, Norway’s state broadcaster, NRK, entered the war. Its flagship evening news programme *Dagsrevyen* opened by stating that 165 people had been killed in an attack on a girls’ school in Minab. NRK did not mention that a base belonging to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard lay just 60 metres away. Instead, the discussion focused on whether the aircraft involved were Israeli or American. The term “war crime” was raised.

The Two-Front War

Jonas Gahr Støre is having major problems making the world hang together coherently. He is supposed to balance between condemning the war against Iran while at the same time not becoming a defender of the religious dictatorship. He completely fails to explain how the removal of a murderous regime constitutes an attack on “international law”. When set against the regime’s murders, the word becomes meaningless.
