The Greek word χάος means “void, abyss,” from the verb χαίνω, “to gape, to be wide open,” and the cognate Old English geanian, “to gape, to open.”
The relationship between spiritual collapse and the decay of moral and social order is a common theme in the prophets, especially Isaiah.
In election campaigns in democracies, struggling parties threaten voters that the victory of the enemy represents the end of democracy for their country and the advent of dictatorship in it.
There is no future for our civilisation if universities’ totalitarian indoctrination of the young continues
There is a fatal contradiction at the heart of Western societies, a nihilistic impulse, a pathological self-loathing that threatens to destroy our way of life. We live in the freest, wealthiest, healthiest, fairest and most technologically advanced polities in history, and yet millions of young people are being taught to hate the West, to despise the liberties that make their lifestyles possible, to tear down every institution and tradition.
Public spending should support the general public. But in Budget 2024, released Tuesday, the Liberals continued to opt for identity-based programs narrowly targeted to demographics of preference.
On affirmative action, the budget heralded the expansion of the Employment Equity Act, which currently sets employment “targets” for women, visible minorities, Indigenous people and the disabled in the federal public sector. In the fall, Labour Minister Seamus O’Regan announced that Black people and LGBT people will each get their own target (quota), so this isn’t new, but we can still expect it coming down the pipeline.
Three down and one to go.
… Police on Tuesday night said officers were interviewing the suspects and that charges were pending against Akashdeep Singh, 28, Sourav Sourav, 28, and Ramanpreet Massih, 23.
Just one day before the October 7 terrorist attack, I tweeted that Conservatives should stop bashing multiculturalism. In the five months since, however, it has become clear that Britain is not the success story I naively believed it to be. Extremist ideologies have been celebrated on our streets. Minority communities have been targeted. And our failure to confront the root causes of division has become all too apparent.
The nation’s silent majority have watched in horror as protests descended into platforms for hate speech. As posters were vandalised with swastikas and mobs chanted anti-Semitic slogans, often without any understanding of their true meaning. Not all movements for justice, we know now, are inherently just.
‘Diversity’ and ‘multiculturalism’ have never been in such low water.
On Monday night, it became clear to a sizeable Westminster audience that the case for mass immigration is dead. The venue was the Emmanuel Centre, the occasion a public debate put on by Touchpoint Politics: “Is Immigration Good for Britain?” Moderated by The Spectator’s Katy Balls, anyone willing to cough up £20 or so was entitled to watch the comedian Konstantin Kisin and the political scientist Matthew Goodwin, both opposing the motion, go up against co-founder of Novara Media Aaron Bastani and Polly Toynbee of the Guardian.
Neither side said anything new, ground-breaking, or particularly radioactive. But while this created no hiccups so far as Kisin and Goodwin were concerned, for Bastani and Toynbee the lack of novelty was quite fatal.
Nobody, to my knowledge, has ever accused Rep. Ilhan Omar of being a nationalist. But if her recently surfaced comments about Somalia are any indication, she is, in fact, an ardent one — just not for the nation of America.
A few months ago, controversy broke out surrounding comments Omar made during a speech about Somalia (delivered to a predominantly Somalian crowd in Minneapolis): “We are people of brotherhood, people of blood, people who know themselves to be Somalis, to be Muslims,” Omar thundered, according to the English-translation subtitles. “We are a gifted set of individuals with a patriotic spirit that acknowledges our homeland and strives to protect it.” In a shockingly candid admission, Omar openly bragged to the crowd about her ambition to serve the interests of a foreign nation while ostensibly representing American voters in the U.S. government: “The U.S. government will do what we tell the U.S. government to do,” she boasted. “That is the confidence we need to have as Somalis.… For as long as I am in Congress, no one will take over the seas belonging to the nation of Somalia and the United States will not support others who seek to steal from us.”
Successive British governments, Labour and Tory, have spoken out against racism while passing regulations which have only served to embed it.
Tony Blair did not seem to care for our nation state. He preferred governance from unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats both here and in Brussels. It suited his brand of left-wing politics for EU nations to lose their values and identity: far easier to hand more power to Europe if national interests and cultures could not get in the way.
Mass migration, at least in the short-term, also worked economically. With an eye on the single most important metric to judge prosperity, New Labour realised immigration would boost growth. With growth in the population would come growth in GDP, a demand for housing and infrastructure and cheap imported labour to power British business. This merry go round would apparently keep working as long as the population kept growing. But in reality, it was a Ponzi scheme.

High immigration levels have traditionally enjoyed multi-partisan support in Canada, but half of all people now say that there are too many newcomers, according to a new poll.
The survey conducted for the Association for Canadian Studies and the Metropolis Institute found 50 per cent of Canadians agree that there are too many immigrants coming into Canada — a number that has more than doubled since January 2023 but has remained consistent across polls conducted in the past six months.
“Concerns over immigration are primarily about the economy rather than fears about immigrants changing the social fabric of Canada, the poll suggests.”
I find this statement misleading as it is only natural that economic concerns would be ranked first which in no way diminishes the worry people have about Canada being remade by mass immigration from incompatible cultures especially given the extent of Hamas support recently revealed. Not to mention the rising tide of anti-white discrimination endorsed by governments at all levels in Canada.
The organization responsible for conducting this poll seems suspiciously Liberal left & multicultural receiving funding from Heritage Canada and coming complete with a land acknowledgement.
It will be described as a bombshell, but the warning signs have been there for many years.
I have long tried to warn people that UK politics was heading in a sectarian direction, but it was too inconvenient for our political and media class to accept my comments. Mass immigration, diversity and multiculturalism have become gods that we are all supposed to bow down to. The difference this time is that this religious sectarian victory is here to stay.
I’ve been openly saying, too, that this new form of sectarianism will lead to the hard-Left Islamist party getting a foothold in Westminster. Again, people chose to ignore me.
Metropolitan elites are wedded to a dogma that is harming those it is purported to defend
When it comes to the Lee Anderson fiasco, two observations stand out. The first is that Lee Anderson is a blockhead.
The second is that the entire mainstream political class is terrified to confront the catastrophic failure of liberal multiculturalism and the consequent proliferation of Islamic fundamentalist enclaves that threaten Britain. The uneasy consequence is that Anderson is fast becoming an unlikely national hero. The truth is that many exasperated conservatives have welcomed his willingness to broach the “Islamism elephant in the room”.
Restrictions listed on recent postings for Canada Research Chair positions have surprised some people. It’s not that someone with a biology degree might be barred from applying to teach South American history, or that an engineer might not be eligible for a position teaching English literature, but rather that skin colour and gender identity have been limiting factors.
Sadiq Khan has been accused of “virtue signalling nonsense” after renaming London Overground lines in a tribute to multiculturalism and feminism.
The Mayor of London announced on Thursday that the overground network’s 103 miles of interconnecting tracks, which are marked in orange on transport maps currently, would be split into six new identities.
The new names for the lines are Lioness, Windrush, Suffragette, Weaver, Liberty and Mildmay – the last one being a tribute to a specialist HIV hospital in Shoreditch.

Months before the eruption of the Israel-Hamas war ramped up ethnic and religious tensions in many Canadian communities, a government task force rejected requests to recognize Muslim and Jewish public servants as separate groups facing systemic workplace barriers, CBC News has learned.
Muslim and Jewish public servants asked to be designated as employment equity groups under the Employment Equity Act nearly two years ago in submissions to the task force, set up by Employment and Social Development Canada.
Well the Task Force did the right thing. Rare for government nowadays with anti-White racism all the rage.
In recent months, we have witnessed a critical mass of antisemitic Canadians willing to vandalize Jewish businesses, protest relentlessly for a Palestinian nation-state “from the river to the sea” and even threaten police officers with death.
It’s not entirely clear how much of the blame for this despicable behaviour can be placed on the fundamentally racist ideology of diversity, equity and inclusion that has been allowed to fester in universities for years, and how much is a result of the erosion of shared values among Canadians.
Give this a read, it nails what we have discussed on this blog for years. I am frankly surprised a mainstream media source printed it.
