Commentary While our country recovers from the COVID lockdown years, across Australia there are thousands of families who look back to 2021 as the start of a very different nightmare—the year their sons were accused of sexual assault. This is the legacy of the media hype around Brittany Higgins. There’s a flood of copycat cases…
The CCP Slaps Pope Francis in the Face
Commentary As readers of this esteemed publication would be aware, in 2018, the Vatican signed a provisional agreement with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on the appointment of Catholic bishops. In doing so, the Vatican recognised the Chinese “Patriotic Church,” set up and controlled by the CCP. The 1950 Guangyuan Manifesto establishing this state-run church…
The CCP Shows Pope Francis Its True Colours
Commentary As readers of this esteemed publication would be aware, in 2018, the Vatican signed a provisional agreement with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on the appointment of Catholic bishops. In doing so, the Vatican recognised the Chinese “Patriotic Church,” set up and controlled by the CCP. The 1950 Guangyuan Manifesto establishing this state-run church…
John Robson: On Chinese Election Interference Crisis, Liberals Should Self-Reflect Instead of Deflect
Commentary The long-awaited testimony from Justin Trudeau’s chief of staff Katie Telford on Chinese electoral interference finally came April 14. And predictably wasn’t worth waiting for since we got the usual Canadian jedi mind trick where we feeble citizens don’t need to see that information. But while it might seem odd that Liberal MPs staged…
John Stuart Mill Versus the New Totalitarians
Commentary I have expended a fair amount of ink criticizing John Stuart Mill’s ideas about liberty in his (in)famous 1859 pamphlet “On Liberty.” I think that Mill’s greatest critic, James Fitzjames Stephen, was right about Mill. In his devastating polemic “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,” Stephen criticized various aspects of Mill’s teaching, especially the anemic, abstract nature…
The Electric Car Is the Trojan Horse of Global Communism
Commentary Elon Musk is no communist, but he may end up having contributed more to its global success than anyone since Karl Marx. By making the Tesla the status symbol of our times, and now apparently about to offer an affordable version for the common man and woman, he has helped clear the way for…
Reflections on the Condition of British Liberalism
Commentary Traveling to Portugal in early April, I came across an English-language newspaper serving the country’s Algarve region. The Portuguese paper reported on a Positive News Magazine summary of a recent King’s College London study that found the UK is “becoming more liberal.” Positive News reported that Britain is now among “the world’s most progressive…
OPEC Cuts May Lead to a World Crisis
Commentary The world is facing a precarious moment in the oil market. The recent decision by OPEC+ to extend production cuts has raised concerns about the potential impact on the global economy. While the move may benefit oil producers in the short term, it may be a misguided action that could also have unintended consequences…
Is Washington Asleep at the Wheel Regarding the US Dollar?
Commentary The Biden administration is quickly turning into “Don Quixote” regarding the U.S. dollar. Amid a global secular shift away from the U.S. dollar (theoretical) and U.S. political influence (actual), the sentiment out of Washington is more akin to “what, me worry?” Mainstream economists in the United States insist that the U.S. dollar is irreplaceable,…
Is the Bud Light Disaster a Turning Point?
Commentary There’s still no word of apology from Anheuser-Busch over their despicable ad campaign for Bud Light that featured a preposterous man mimicking women and somehow achieving notoriety within woke cultural circles. This has promoted a massive boycott not only of this beer but all beers made by the company, and a real opportunity for…
