An encounter with an indoctrinated Norwegian woman in Iceland

The woman beside me on the bus in Iceland was unaware of her own madness. She was willing to sacrifice a wonderful holiday in Florida simply because Trump was still president. Day after day, for years, the propaganda has flowed straight into the national psyche. An ordinary person who trusts the news stands no chance against this constant stream of one-sided hostility.

The democracy that became a theatre

The people cast their votes from below, but the governing comes from above. The political theatre depends on the audience remaining seated. NRK can continue to direct. The parties can continue to assign the roles. The commentators can continue to explain that everything is working as it should. But the performance is over the moment the populus (the people) stops applauding.

The bitter fruits of identity politics

What happens when identity and tribal thinking replace the sense of national community, and ideology has such a firm grip on all of society’s institutions and public discourse that democratic resistance is futile? People who do not enjoy the special status and protection that the state grants Islam will band together within their own identity groups, because there is no one else to protect them. This is the road to civil war.

Primary elections: The real battle is within the Democratic Party

Primary elections were held in a number of states on Tuesday. Attention is focused above all on candidates affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). They have already scored several striking victories, and if their momentum continues, they could significantly reshape the Democratic Party ahead of the midterm elections. So far, however, the results have been mixed.

How many women must be sacrificed on the altar of Diversity?

Maren Sømme, Elisabeth Ross and Jamey Carney were all murdered this summer by Middle Eastern men who had immigrated to the West. Their killers were opportunists who should never have been admitted. We know that mass immigration from the Islamic world results in significantly higher levels of violence against women. The velvet gloves must come off, and the apologists for mass immigration must be held accountable for what they have allowed. We cannot afford to lose more women through sheer folly.

Civilisation disappears if it no longer knows why it exists

Behind the fences in Ceuta there prevails a strange weariness among those who no longer know why they still exist. The Western power elite no longer defends an order, but prepares its cessation. When you are in a minority, why on earth should anyone wish to integrate with you and your “values”? No dominant culture “integrates” with its predecessors once it has taken their place.

The long and tortuous path to insight

Politicians and journalists must ritually pass through a mass of lies, concealments, pretences, denials and distortions before they mention the obvious connection between Islam and terror. First the left’s threat picture is listed – Putin, the climate, Trump – so that the sender can prove loyalty to their own camp, before Islamism is mentioned very cautiously.

The shadow of European terrorism in popular culture

A hand grenade rolls across the floor of a pharmacy in Paris on 15 September 1974. What follows is an inferno of shattered glass, shrapnel, two dead and 34 injured. Among those who survive the explosion is the French husband of the Norwegian journalist Vibeke Knoop Rachline.

Olsok Art: Challenging Christian Truth in Nidaros Cathedral

Five letters formed in neon light make up this year’s Olsok exhibition during Olavsfest in Trondheim. The letters TRUTH hang from the ceiling in the centre of Nidaros Cathedral and appear to challenge the fundamental Christian message: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” The 17-metre-high light installation was conceived by artist Lars Ø. Ramberg.

Brussels is building Europe’s demographic future on mass immigration

The European Commission’s 2026 Demography Report paints a bleak picture: Europe is ageing rapidly, fertility is declining, and the working-age population is shrinking. For the EU, the solution is mass immigration from non-European countries, rather than policies that encourage native families to have more children.
