An Australian judge just let a violent rapist avoid prison time because he found that the culprit did not understand that rape was against Australian values and cultural norms. The rapist had only moved to Australia six months prior to the attack, so his lack of understanding meant that the judge found him less morally responsible for the rape. The girl testified that the rape destroyed her life, but her suffering was ignored in favour of a foreigner who should not even be in Australia. This deserves just as much attention as the Cornell 7.
BREAKING NEWS: An Australian judge just let a foreign violent rapist escape prison because he found that the rapist didn’t know that rape was a crime in Australia. Within six months of moving to Australia, a foreign 16 year old teenager committed a brutal violent rape attack. Australian judge Andrew Muller refused to imprison the 16 year old teenage rapist because he found that the rapist didn’t know that rape was against Australian customs - he had “limited insight into societal norms in Australia.” In determining the sentence, Justice Muller somehow found that the fact that the rapist didn’t understand that rape was against Australian culture reduced his moral culpability for the rape. I don’t understand. This is sickening. In a victim impact statement, the victim described feeling a loss of dignity, confidence and sense of self. She said she "can no longer call [her] body [her] own" and that night her life was stolen and would forever be changed.

Just one of many brilliant scenes from the epic comedy "Life of Brian" by Monty Python. Fun fact: The actors playing the soldiers were not told what Pontius Pilate and the centurion were going to say. What they were told, though, was to hold back their laughter as much as they could. So what you’re seeing is pretty much their genuine first-time reaction to the jokes, and the laughter is real. Much of this scene was improvised.

I used to love London. I really did. Not long ago, it was the best city in the world. Busy, rich, lively, safe. Now? Yes, there are nicer areas in the central part. But large swathes of our capital city resemble a third world shithole. That's just the honest truth, and we all know it. It did not used to be like this. It just didn't. I get attacked and insulted whenever I talk about this, but it's true. Walk around central London, what do you see? Foreign migrants spitting, drinking and defecating in the street. Groups of foreign men, hanging around in gangs, harassing women, shouting in foreign languages, smoking weed and whatever else. Our own domestic wronguns, free to steal phones and plaster the city with graffiti. Filth, everywhere. The city is just dirty. Vape shops, 'candy' stores, Turkish barbers, foreign convenience stores. Stabbings, stabbings and more stabbings. Parallel communities with entire streets unable to speak English, living under their own laws, treating women like dirt. You could be dropped on hundreds of streets in London and you would think you're in Pakistan. There seems to be some confusion about who our capital city belongs to... THE BRITISH PEOPLE. It is our city, and we need to take it back. If you agree with what I'm saying, then vote for it. Vote Restore Britain.

Talking to a French coastguard contact (Gus) today - his English not perfect but the point was clear: So I looked it up he's right! ♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️ Under UN Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) and UNCLOS, the duty of a coastal state is to STOP overcrowded, unseaworthy vessels leaving its ports. 👇👇👇👇👇👇 If such a vessel is at sea and a French vessel is the first to it, the duty is to take it back to the nearest safe port - which is France. It is NOT the duty of the UK to then take over the chaperoning of an unsuitable vessel across the Channel. Stop them at the point of departure. Return them to France if intercepted by French assets. That's what maritime safety law actually says. It's all in The UN document 👇👇👇👇 SOLAS Article 98 /Chapter V

Dans 50 ans, les livres d'histoire diront qu'Elon Musk a gagné une guerre que personne ne savait qu'on était en train de perdre. Une guerre commencée il y a 100 ans, dans une cellule de prison italienne. En 1926, Mussolini fait arrêter un intellectuel sarde de 35 ans. Au procès, le procureur aurait dit : « Nous devons empêcher ce cerveau de fonctionner pendant vingt ans. » Il s'appelait Antonio Gramsci. Son cerveau n'a jamais cessé de fonctionner. En prison, il a rempli des milliers de pages qui sont devenues l'un des textes politiques les plus influents du XXe siècle. Je pense qu'on est en train de vivre le moment où sa théorie s'effondre. Laissez-moi vous expliquer. Gramsci se posait une question simple. Pourquoi la révolution communiste a-t-elle réussi en Russie mais échoué partout en Occident ? Sa réponse : en Occident, le pouvoir ne tient pas seulement par l'État, la police et l'armée. Il tient par la culture. Par ce que les gens trouvent normal, évident, « de bon sens ». Il appelle ça l'hégémonie culturelle. Donc, pour prendre le pouvoir, il ne faut pas d'abord prendre le palais. Il faut d'abord prendre les esprits. Les écoles. Les universités. Les journaux. Le théâtre. L'édition. Les tribunaux. C'est la « guerre de position » : une conquête lente, institution par institution. Quand la culture a basculé, la politique suit toute seule. Quarante ans plus tard, l'activiste allemand Rudi Dutschke en fera un slogan : la longue marche à travers les institutions. Pendant des décennies, on a vécu avec une énigme que personne n'arrivait vraiment à expliquer. Pourquoi presque tous les artistes sont-ils de gauche ? Les acteurs, les chanteurs, les profs, les journalistes, une bonne partie de la magistrature. Pourquoi un pays pouvait voter à droite élection après élection et voir quand même sa culture parler d'une seule voix ? On nous répondait : « c'est parce que les gens éduqués sont de gauche. » Je crois que la réponse est plus simple. Gramsci avait écrit la recette, et elle a été appliquée. Quand tu contrôles qui obtient la subvention, le poste, la bonne critique, le prix, l'invitation sur le plateau, tu contrôles ce qui devient « la culture ». La même énigme existait à l'échelle du monde. Pourquoi tant de pays en développement, notamment en Amérique latine, revotaient-ils encore et encore pour des gouvernements socialistes ou de gauche radicale ? Venezuela, Bolivie, Nicaragua, l'Argentine des Kirchner, la Colombie de Petro. L'économie s'effondrait, les cartels prospéraient, le chaos s'installait. Et pourtant le même vote revenait. Ma conviction : la pauvreté n'était pas un accident du système. C'était un électorat. Et autour, il y avait tout un écosystème d'ONG, de médias « indépendants » et de programmes de « société civile », financé en grande partie par l'argent occidental. Puis, début 2025, il s'est passé quelque chose que personne n'avait jamais osé faire. Elon et DOGE ont ouvert les livres de USAID. Une agence quasi intouchable depuis 1961, des dizaines de milliards de dollars par an. La grande majorité des programmes ont été coupés, et l'agence a été absorbée par le Département d'État. Le robinet a été fermé. Et regardez ce qui s'est passé depuis. Bolivie : le MAS perd le pouvoir après presque vingt ans. Équateur : Noboa réélu. Honduras : la droite reprend le pays. Chili : Kast élu. Argentine : Milei remporte largement les élections de mi-mandat. Et il y a deux jours, le Brésil. Jair Bolsonaro est inéligible, condamné à 27 ans de prison. La gauche pensait avoir refermé le chapitre. Lula, 80 ans, briguait un quatrième mandat face à un pays qu'on disait acquis. Dimanche, son fils Flávio est arrivé en tête du premier tour. Plus de 47 % contre près de 45 % pour Lula. Lula lui-même a reconnu un résultat « inattendu ». Le plus grand pays d'Amérique latine est à un second tour de basculer. Le plus grand virage à droite du continent depuis des décennies. Coïncidence ? Je ne crois pas. Quand le financement disparaît, le récit perd ses haut-parleurs. Il reste un dernier vrai bastion. L'Europe. Bruxelles finance ses propres réseaux d'ONG, avec une opacité que même la Cour des comptes européenne a pointée. Les grandes fondations comme l'Open Society de Soros. Les entités supranationales qui produisent de la norme sans jamais passer devant un électeur. C'est la dernière forteresse de l'hégémonie culturelle. Et elle commence à se fissurer. Je suis convaincu que tout ça va s'effondrer, et plus vite qu'on ne le pense. Gramsci avait raison sur un point essentiel : la culture précède la politique. Mais il avait oublié que ça marche dans les deux sens. Quand une culture artificielle perd ses perfusions, ce qu'il y a de vrai en dessous remonte à la surface. Ce qui vient après, je crois que c'est une renaissance. Une culture qui recommence à aimer la beauté, l'ambition, la science, la civilisation qui l'a fait naître. Et dans les livres d'histoire, on se souviendra que tout a commencé quand un homme a décidé de regarder les comptes. Il fallait quelqu'un d'assez riche pour ne dépendre de personne, d'assez fou pour s'y attaquer et d'assez libre pour encaisser la haine qui allait suivre. Merci Elon.
USAID sounds nice. US AID. As in the US is aiding the poor in need. That’s not what USAID was. It was the US Agency for International Development. Which funded regime changes and far Left causes. It spread Communism. It wasn’t about feeding the poor. It created the poor.

A woman in her 50s was stabbed randomly in the neck while riding on a tram in South Melbourne. Police arrested the attacker, a 37-year-old man. He was out on BAIL at the time. Melbourne needs to be renamed Hellbourne! Remember in November!

Here's the opening scene of Revenge of the Sith, Kurosawa style.
Watching parts of Revenge of the Sith (2002) in black and white with Japanese dubbing—it works! It foregrounds Lucas’s strengths as a visual storyteller while decentering his weaknesses. What I’d really like to see are the prequels as anime!

Late last night, a beautiful 11-year-old girl, named locally as Miya Deamer-Jones, was reported missing from Elmley Castle, a quiet village of around 500 people in Worcestershire. This morning her body was found beside the cricket club. West Mercia Police are treating her death as unexplained. No arrests have been made, and once again we are asked not to speculate. But why does the death of a child barely make the mainstream news these days? There was a time when this would have been on every front page in the country. Tonight a family is living through the worst thing that can happen to anyone, and a small village where everybody knows everybody is in shock. A little girl lost in the night should stop a nation in its tracks. Instead, we have grown used to headlines about children like this, and we should never be used to them. We should be furious that this no longer shocks us. I know I am. Rest in peace, little one.
