Authoritarian liberalism is afraid of its own people

“Citizen Vigilante” is an aesthetically poor and politically vulgar film that nevertheless says something true about the state of Europe—something evidently so true that it must be banned. It exposes a continent marked by high immigration, a weakened rule of law, and a growing willingness to censor radical artistic or intellectual criticism of immigration.

Shada Case: Norwegian state broadcaster wishfully claims prostitution theory debunked

Norway’s state broadcaster NRK freely makes things up when they come with false claims about the Shada case, with what appears to be the aim of establishing a factual basis and a final conclusion that does not exist. The deficient journalism about the case is now being attempted to be used as if it were a NOU or a professional report from an independent investigation commission.

Our fear of exclusion is killing children

After yet another high-profile child murder, the question must once again be asked: How many warning signs can be ignored before someone is held accountable? The case of Preston Davey exposes a system in which the fear of being perceived as intolerant appears to outweigh the willingness to protect vulnerable children.

Can Trump negotiate peace with Iran?

Norwegian media have been vying with one another to declare Trump the big loser in the Iran war. In VG we are told that “The agreement between the USA and Iran is a political fiasco.” TV2’s “expert” claims the agreement is a catastrophe for Israel and that “…Tehran has emerged victorious from the war, while Israel is the big loser.” NRK states outright that Trump has capitulated. Norwegian media are living in their own world.

Have the extremism researchers become part of the problem?

Anders Ravik Jupskås was one of the researchers who made a name for himself after 22 July. Where Lars Gule was provocative, Jupskås was low-key. Now he has presented the anthology “Right-Wing Extremism in Norway after 22 July”. A group of researchers participates. Jupskås still works at the Centre for Research on Extremism (C-REX), which was founded by Erna Solberg with a pot of 50 million kroner after 22 July, at the time with Tore Bjørgo as the front figure.

Can a bad film be an important warning?

«Citizen Vigilante» is an action thriller film from 2026 that is produced, written and directed by the German filmmaker Uwe Boll. After the film was completely banned in Germany and Elon Musk decided to put it out on X for free viewing for 48 hours, interest exploded – as forbidden films and books always have done. This is the dumbest thing authorities can do; it guarantees sales.

The productive are taxed ever harder to finance immigration

Persistent immigration, the large numbers outside the labour market, and the extensive use of social welfare benefits in Norway together represent an annual socio-economic loss of value of NOK 700–800 billion. They cost taxpayers enormous sums. The Tax Commission’s proposals barely scratch the surface of this problem. Redistribution policies win votes, but they are not sustainable.

Society is shaped by our faith

Islam and Christianity part company on every important issue with decisive political consequences. One bears good fruit, the other bad. Islam is not compatible with a free society. This is not something the modern age likes to hear, preferring instead to imagine that all religions have love in common and seek what is good for everyone.

Foraging in a studio flat

The state tells us to prepare for lean years, yet it has built homes with no room for emergency preparedness; when the potato cellar becomes a rental flat, supplementing the household food supply is little more than the state’s fairy tale for a people with no storage, no space and no margins in their own homes. You cannot ask a people to live as they once did when you have built their homes so that they can only live from one shopping trip to the next.

Oslo’s ‘Conservative Party’ mayor celebrates Islam, Socialists and Pride

In recent weeks, Oslo’s Conservative mayor has celebrated Islam, Pride, and praised the Muslim socialist Mamdani in New York. “Inspiring meeting with the mayor of NYC,” wrote Lindboe, adding a few words about football and Norwegian fans, since it was because of the World Cup that our tax money was used to send Oslo’s mayor to New York.
