Nemesis

“Everyone” is expected to see Christopher Nolan’s films. But “The Odyssey” is no “Oppenheimer”. Nolan does not know his own limitations. He casts a black actress as Helen of Troy, has a black rapper introduce the story, and includes a trans actor. There are powerful scenes, such as the fallen soldiers rising from the earth. But The Odyssey is no great film, and Matt Damon is no Odysseus.

AI admits the “Green Transition” is uncharted territory

Artificial intelligence (AI) reinforces a dangerous trend in the West towards moralistic consensus, in which dissenting voices are cancelled on important issues. Yet when confronted with critical facts, AI becomes more balanced—and even critical of the “green transition”. For those who lack knowledge and critical judgement, relying on AI is highly risky.

“There is nothing to write about”

It is a strange time. Not because there is a lack of topics to write about, but because there have become so many that the brain can no longer manage to sort them. When every catastrophe is replaced by a new one before we have even had time to react, the result is not clarity – but silence.

Spoke to Nikoline before she disappeared: “I tried to warn them”

One of the police’s witnesses spoke with Nikoline Piwoni Høie (17) and another girl a short distance from the Funky Buddha nightclub. It was shortly before the 17-year-old disappeared and was later found dead on a motorway 26 kilometres away. At the time, the teenagers were talking to four foreign men in a white car.

The Trojan agreement: How copper cables in 1992 became digital mass surveillance and power plunder in 2026

Outwardly, the EEA Agreement was presented as a harmless gateway to the market, characterised by technical standards and the dismantling of Norway’s state telecom monopoly on analogue copper cables. Today, in July 2026, we have reached the end of the line: the introduction of Chat Control – a permanent EU Regulation requiring technology companies to monitor and scan the encrypted communications of all Norwegian citizens.

Platner’s IVF trip to Norway overlooked by the Norwegian press, just like his scandals

Norwegian media have gone to great lengths to protect the scandal-plagued Democratic candidate from Maine. At the same time, they manufactured a fake scandal to target FrP advisor Hårek Hansen. This reveals a dark double standard: They are willing to protect an American far-left politician with a Nazi tattoo and rape allegations, but will break every rule to destroy a Norwegian family man’s life and career simply because he is affiliated with the FrP.

Freedom had a two-stroke engine

In the summer of 1982, a fifteen-year-old boy stood on a ladder outside his grandmother’s house. A paint tin hung beside him, a scraper was in his hand, and the sun beat down on the back of his neck. The air smelled of old timber, dust, oil, paint and summer. His grandmother’s house needed painting, and the boy had been given the job. He was going to be paid for it. Somewhere on the horizon stood the reward. Its name was Fantic Caballero.

The murder of Ann Widdecombe is the end of the trust-based society in Britain

The murder of Ann Widdecombe thus turns out to be terror-related, and sheds light on the new reality in Britain’s political climate, as well as a total collapse of trust between the population and the establishment. It also shows that Reform politicians and others on the “far right” are right to fear both for their freedom of speech and for their security. A parallel is the assassination of Charlie Kirk. How many more politically motivated executions are we supposed to tolerate?

The courts conceal an autocratic system that harms parents and children in child welfare cases

It is our unconscious and ignorant politicians who have created such a system. Pursuant to Section 49 of the Constitution (Grunnloven), the Storting could have enacted laws providing genuine oversight mechanisms when the state undertakes something as fundamentally serious as destroying biological ties. In other countries, such deliberate destruction of biological ties would immediately be brought before a genuinely independent court. Not so in Norway.

Praise of terrorism not a criminal offence: Case against Bassam Hussein discontinued

According to the police district in Norway’s central Trøndelag region, praising terrorist attacks is not a criminal offence, and it has therefore discontinued the case against NTNU professor Bassam Hussein. During a meeting at the Literature House in Trondheim, he described Hamas’ 7 October 2023 massacre as “the most beautiful thing that has happened in this century”. Jewish activist On Elpeleg says the decision to discontinue the case will be appealed.
