Outrageous suggestion: Germans with ‘incorrect views’ could be barred from buying property

The German Social Democratic Minister of Housing wants the intelligence services to screen prospective home buyers based on their political opinions — without them having committed any crime.

Working-age immigrants receive 74% of Norway’s social welfare benefits

An average working-age immigrant receives 10 times more social welfare than the average citizen. For non-Western immigrants, the figure rises to 16 times. Their descendants are following the same pattern. Norwegian-born non-Westerners are now a rapidly growing group of welfare recipients. This significantly increases the gap in consumption of tax-funded services and helps explain Norway’s oil-adjusted budget deficit.

All of Norway’s oil money is being spent on non-Western immigrants

Non-Western immigrants now constitute 14% of Norway’s population (768,000 people) — four times as many as at the turn of the century. This has resulted in a net fiscal burden greater than last year’s oil fund spending of over 450 billion kroner. SSB researchers have been aware of this for years, but it is rarely mentioned publicly.

The march of the psychopaths

The media are no longer reporters — they are active players. If forced to choose between Trump and the ayatollahs in Tehran, they choose Iran. Their method resembles psychopathic tactics: damned if you do, damned if you don’t. One moment Trump is portrayed as insane, the next he is called a ‘chicken’. No sooner had a ceasefire been announced than Aftenposten’s Kjetil Hanssen wrote: ‘This is classic Trump TACO’.

The Globalists’ losing battle against observation and facts

Anyone who wants to see can clearly see that politics in Europe in 2026 is no longer about governing countries for the benefit of their own population. Politics now is exclusively about protecting policies that don’t work. Protecting the politicians and the forces behind them who have lied to and deceived people with stories of progress and better societies. And how does the elite solve this awakening based on observation?

The State ensures persistent inflation that crushes the population

It is tempting to explain the difference between Norway and Sweden with simple single factors — electricity prices, interest rates, war, or exchange rates. But that gives a far too flat picture. What we are seeing is not a coincidence. It is the result of a specific economic structure — and of political choices that over time have shifted the balance of the economy.

Trump is doing what must be done — but risks repeating history

Niall Ferguson reminds us that great powers often lose not because they are militarily weak, but because they underestimate how quickly economic shocks, allies’ reluctance, and an opponent’s asymmetric tools can turn victory into defeat. The question now is whether Trump’s advisers remember the Suez Crisis, and whether they have learned from previous American presidents’ many lost wars in the Middle East. The question now is whether Hormuz will become for the United States what Suez became for Britain.

Knives are out in America

The Iranian madmen may be running low on attack weapons (though there is no sign of that yet), but they possess far stronger weapons: Western mainstream media that rejoice at every American setback, and Democrats in the US who constantly bash Trump and predict that the “illegal” war is already lost. They dismiss the mullahs’ enriched uranium. Yet they themselves are playing at least as high-stakes a game as Trump.

Happy Easter!

How many people, cultures, and nations have not been radically transformed after an encounter with the Son of God, who says “Peace be with you” and has loved us since the dawn of time? There is nothing greater than a Creator who looks at us in love and says: It was for you that I suffered and died.

Helena Edlund: Thoughts before Sunday #165

Neither then nor now was it possible for anyone who was dead to come back to life. Yet that is exactly what happened — and the disciples were prepared to go to their deaths rather than deny it. And that is why we know it is true.
