Economic Crime Authority considers opening corruption case against the Norwegian elite

The documents released by the US Department of Justice describe transactions and services that, according to experts, “appear to be textbook examples of corruption”. The question is no longer whether there has been an exchange of money and services, but whether Norwegian authorities dare to touch the matter.

Former PM Jagland’s moral bankruptcy is now a fact

Former Labour PM and ex-secretary general of the Council of Europe, Thorbjørn Jagland, has spent his entire career with a remarkable knack for failing upwards. After every blunder, he’s landed a grander title and a fatter salary. Now he’s reached the top of the ladder—and the fall back down is brutal.

What has unleashed the worst death wave in modern Norwegian history since 2021?

From July 2021 through to 2026, Norway has experienced almost continuous excess mortality. So far, this excess mortality has claimed more Norwegian lives than were lost in the Second World War.

Børge Brende’s explanation doesn’t hold water – either he’s lying or he’s incompetent

The CEO of the World Economic Forum, Børge Brende, either knew exactly who he was meeting and didn’t give a damn about the 2008 conviction, or he’s so staggeringly ill-informed that he’s unfit to run a hot dog stand, let alone the World Economic Forum.

Bells toll for Allah

A spokesman for the US military has reportedly told America’s allies in the Middle East to prepare for an attack on Iran. If the regime falls, it won’t just be a fresh start for Iranians.

The Palestine Committee in Trøndelag continues to hold weekly demonstrations in Trondheim. On Saturday, they paid tribute to Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader who masterminded the terrorist attacks on Israel on 7 October 2023.

Lily Bandehy will be burning a hijab again

On Sunday 1 February at Youngstorget, Oslo, I will once again burn the hijab. This is the fourth year I have done so. But this year the act feels heavier, more painful, and more necessary than ever, writes Lily Bandehy on Facebook. “I burn the hijab in solidarity with the 36,500 families who have lost loved ones, with the more than 10,000 who have lost their sight, and with the hundreds of thousands of wounded, disappeared, and arrested Iranians inside Iran.”

Iranian ambassador invited to dinner at the Royal Palace

Invitations to the Royal Palace tell us who we are willing to sit at the table with and what values we are willing to set aside.

Politicians are being hounded because “toe the line” no longer works

When politicians consistently work against the will of the people, prioritise other countries over Norway and cede resources and sovereignty to the EU, they cannot demand respect. They incite political hatred when they make Norwegians’ lives worse and claim the opposite. People struggle to get by, and the few who have the energy to get involved can be character assassinated. Maybe that’s the point.

When freedom becomes a crime, the world must react

In Iran, you can be imprisoned or killed for showing your hair or loving the wrong person. Yet Iran is given international legitimacy. It is undignified. Norway should react against the regime and actively support Iranian freedom fighters.
