The Lillian Gran Case: Why critics say something is seriously wrong in Norway’s child welfare and justice system

For some reason, Lillian Gran is being subjected to treatment by the police, the courts, and now also forensic psychiatry that defies every conception of what should be possible in Norway. People unfamiliar with the case react with scepticism: Surely she must have done something! Yes, she has. She defended her children against abuse both from their father/stepfather and from the authorities. They are merciless.

Talks up international law — while breaking it themselves

Much is said in Norway’s Foreign Ministry about a rules-based world order and the virtues of international law. Yet little is mentioned about the fact that international law presupposes a state must be capable of defending its own territory in order to be treated as a full legal subject. People speak as if international law itself provides protection. That is a major illusion. There is no higher authority to appeal to.

A people isn’t freed by owning homes if those homes own the rest of their lives.”

Banks sell it as the ‘housing dream.’ The government calls it stability. In truth, your home is now a debt machine — and you’re a lifelong slave with a garage and a grill.

From hitman to human trafficking victim?

The 19-year-old from Stavanger arrested last year in England with a pistol and revolver is being investigated by British anti-terror police and charged with conspiracy to murder. VG and Stavanger Aftenblad now portray him as a victim of human trafficking. His parents, journalists at Stavanger Aftenblad, say their profession has been a drawback, but they have featured in all major Norwegian media and spoken to the Justice Minister.

Why doesn’t everyone know the name Henry Nowak?

It’s been six years since the George Floyd killing and the global Black Lives Matter campaign dominated the news. A few months ago, another murder took place — that of 18-year-old Henry Nowak. But it’s only now, months later, that his fate has come to light. And even now, it doesn’t appear to have received any attention outside the UK. But Nowak was white, and the killer belonged to an ethnic minority.

The State’s legitimacy depends on protecting citizens’ freedom, not their mental comfort

Any power system that loses trust in its own population will sooner or later begin to monitor language. Not because the words themselves are dangerous, but because free people are. What is happening in Europe today is therefore not primarily about online hate, but about control over the narrative. Censorship is rebranded as ‘safety’. Surveillance is rebranded as ‘responsibility’. Control over information is rebranded as ‘protecting democracy’.

The Green Collapse #45: IPCC Rejects Climate Doomsday

IPCC modelers have finally rejected the unrealistic scenarios of extreme CO2 and temperature increases by 2100. However, don’t expect climate hysteria to end anytime soon. Many have a strong interest in keeping public fear alive. The modest media coverage of this cautious, realistic shift by the IPCC clearly shows this.

The Devil Exists

When every atrocity must instantly have a cause that makes it understandable, and nothing is allowed to appear as absolute evil, we lose more than a theological concept — we lose a moral capacity. The modern, secular West has abolished the idea of “absolute evil.” We kept the rational explanations but discarded metaphysics. What remains are systems, structures, and context.

It’s not the people living beyond their means — It’s the state

Norway has two economies. One is the state, oil, the Oil Fund, taxes, bureaucracy and transfers. The other is households, small businesses, workers, craftsmen and shops who must make ends meet without the Oil Fund. The first economy grows while the second is squeezed. The state has oil wealth as backup. Families only have their paycheck — and are told they got too much in wage negotiations.

Good luck running a small business in Norway

Norway used to be an independent nation built on honesty, hard work and private initiative. The state supported business, and taxes funded welfare for the Norwegian working class so no one had to beg. Now Norway has been turned into an EU colony. The state dominates business, the country is built on hypocrisy, regulation and public initiatives, tax money is handed out worldwide, and beggars are back on the streets.
