UN adopts resolution: States legally responsible for climate change

The UN General Assembly has confirmed a ruling by the UN court that the world’s countries are legally obligated to “climate protection.” This opens the door for climate lawsuits around the world. But only the West will take this seriously – not least Norway. And they know this well in China, which voted for a resolution they will ignore themselves. This is how the climate circus rolls on.

The distant has been brought near — without becoming present

With technology that makes everything immediately available, nothing is distant anymore. Along with that, closeness and presence also disappear. The encounter with something that truly has an aura therefore feels extraordinary. It withdraws, it cannot be reproduced, it demands that one be present oneself. I myself had such an experience with a Christ figure.

The ultimate betrayal: 5-star prison food on Islamic holidays while elderly get miserable institutional meals

The moral test of a government is how it treats its elderly, said Norwegian-descended Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey. Norway has failed this test completely. Worse, the government enthusiastically organizes lavish Islamic holiday celebrations for Muslim prisoners, complete with gourmet food, gift bags, and parties most elderly can only dream of. This is the ultimate betrayal.

Lithuania: Black woman risks prison for hate speech after ‘mocking white people’

In Lithuania, a Black woman is charged with inciting “hatred against white people” after mocking “white women’s tears” during a ticket dispute at a ski resort.

Just five years for corrupt former state secretary — Friendly journalist walks free. What awaits the Epstein friends?

Former Norsk Industri leader Stein Lier-Hansen received five years in prison for gross corruption and economic disloyalty. Norwegian tabloid VG and its bar journalist emerged from the case unscathed. What awaits the Epstein friends, one wonders? Former Labour PM Thorbjørn Jagland and UN power couple Terje Rød-Larsen and Mona Juul are currently charged with gross corruption.

The queer revolution eats its own children

What happens to lesbian women when biology is replaced by gender identity? The queer revolution is working against them, as 19 lesbian women testify in a new book edited by artist Tonje Gjevjon: ‘Kindred in Chaos: 19 Lesbians in the Age of Gender Identity’. Their stories should serve as a wake-up call for those who support the organization FRI and legislation based on radical gender theory.

Lillian Gran is experiencing something that defies what we thought possible in a rule-of-law society

Anyone who believes Norway is governed by the rule of law will struggle to explain the treatment of Lillian Gran. She spent five months in maximum pre-trial detention at Ravneberget Prison. When the authorities could no longer legally keep her imprisoned, another measure appeared: compulsory psychiatric observation.

SS tattoo no dealbreaker for Democratic Senate candidate in Maine

Graham Platner is the Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate, backed by Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. He has a large SS symbol tattooed on his right chest and makes no effort to hide it. He has been filmed dancing in his underwear at a bar. This comes from a party that routinely labels Trump’s America as fascist.
