The art of making a lie look like the truth

Many Norwegians with high mortgage debt have seen their real income fall between 2021 and 2023, according to a new SSB report. NTB claims people are not worse off financially, even if it feels that way. Aftenposten gave the story prominent front-page coverage. So anyone complaining about struggling financially is apparently just imagining it — allowing Prime Minister Støre to boast about “sound economic management”.

Statnett must invest NOK 150 billion due to integration into the EU electricity grid – and Norwegian consumers will have to pay

Electricity grid fees are set to double by 2030. Norway is being integrated into the EU electricity grid, and Norwegians must pay so that the EU can access our power. Statnett washes its hands — it is merely the contractor building according to blueprints from Brussels, while Norwegian consumers foot the entire bill.

Buffet Islam and Doormat Christianity

Pope Leo XIV’s peace initiative will likely not be understood by non-Catholics. As a Catholic, I find it frighteningly naïve to believe in peaceful coexistence between Islam and Christianity. Islam shifts from playing the victim to demanding that we adapt once it reaches a certain critical mass.

Consensus: Trump has lost the war, the peace, and his mind

The ayatollahs are trapped with no way out. But from a Danish media perspective, Trump has painted himself into a corner with no options but chaos and defeat. Berlingske joyfully declares that Trump is losing his mind. The ayatollahs can prepare for their victory parade.

The Economist: Norway has too much money

The Economist warns that Norway is using its oil wealth as a cushion to cover huge budget deficits. Yet the influential magazine ignores the economic costs of immigration. The analysis echoes Martin Bech Holte, who also refuses to examine that side of the equation.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali: Pope Leo is conspiring with the Democrats to harm Trump

When Pope Leo XIV attacks US President Donald Trump a few days after having met his political opponents, he has become a political actor and is no longer a pastor of souls, believes Ayaan Hirsi Ali. It is in an opinion piece in the Daily Mail on Wednesday that the now American writer and commentator […]

The one who laughs last in Iran

China’s dream of world dominance is falling apart with the Iran war — and so is the Trump critics’ fantasy that his broader foreign policy will fail. The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is part of the United States’ economic warfare.

State TV spin: Don’t think about the cost of immigration

Norway’s state broadcaster NRK calculates what “you” cost the welfare state — but only if you’re a native Norwegian. They don’t want Norwegiians thinking about the colossal sums spent on immigrants. It’s all about pushing the Labour Party’s fairytale, not the reality that Norwegians are footing the bill for mass immigration against their wishes.

Whose oil fund is it anyway?

This lies at the heart of what is classically called “Dutch disease” – not merely exchange rates and lost competitiveness, but a deeper structural dependence on capital revenues rather than genuine value creation. The state expands, not by producing more, but by redistributing more.

The future of the world rests on Donald Trump

The day Tehran gets its hands on nuclear weapons, the Islamic fanatics will use them to force Europe’s spineless governments to submit to Islam: ‘Build mosques, or be annihilated.’
Politicians, the media, and the ‘experts’ would then say: ‘For God’s sake, do whatever Islam demands.’
That is why the fate of the world now rests on Trump’s shoulders.
