Former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown has urged world leaders to create a “temporary form of global government” to combat coronavirus and its impact around the world. According to The Guardian, the former Labor Prime Minister said, the global organisation should have executive powers to coordinate the response to tackle the medical and economic crises caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. “This is not something that can be dealt with in one country,” he said. “There has to be a coordinated global response.” Brown went on to say, “This is first and foremost a medical emergency and there has to be…

The health situation in Italy is dire. Tragically, over 8,000 people have died and around 80,000 people have caught COVID-19 giving it the second highest number of cases outside of China. The question is, what caused this to be the case? Back in February, Dr Jing Zeng wrote in The Guardian that there was no link whatsoever between COVID-19 and The People’s Republic of China. And those who dared to suggest that there was were guilty of #CoronaRacism. As such, many in the mainstream media have followed the explanation of Matt Simon in Wired, who argued that there was no…

There’s a thin line between governments waging a war against a crisis, and governments waging a war against people caught up in that crisis. It’s the crossing of this line; the potential, and perhaps eventual, overreaction through disproportionate measures, that have sparked an increasing number of centrist and conservative thinkers to question these heavy-handed measures, along with anything, and everything, labelled “the new normal”. The more we learn about the coronavirus, the more important it is to question whether the heavy-handed measures being taken against the coronavirus are proportionate to the fight against it. Peter Hitchens was the first to…

A New South Wales Green Senator has been ridiculed around the world after claiming COVID-19 is a “gendered crisis” because of the “disproportionate risk” it poses to women. Mehreen Faruqi, Australia’s first Muslim senator, made the comments yesterday, despite reports that coronavirus mortality rate is twice as high among men as it is among women. “Let us not forget that COVID-19 is a gendered crisis,” Faruqi said. “Nurses, teachers, child care workers, and early childhood educators, aged care workers and cleaners are mostly women. They are on the frontline of this public health crisis and carry a disproportionate risk of…

Pope Francis has said the coronavirus is nature’s response to humans damaging the environment. Speaking with a Spanish journalist on Sunday, Pope Francis said: “There’s a saying you know, God always forgives. We forgive sometimes. [But] nature never forgives. “Fires, earthquakes, that is nature having a fit. So that we will take care of nature.”  On the same day that the pope made his remarks, Oprah Winfrey shared an interview with actor Idris Elba essentially suggesting the same thing. In the short video posted to Twitter, Elba likened humanity to an “infection” the world is trying to “get rid…

Actor Idris Elba has told Oprah Winfrey that COVIC-19 is the earth’s response to humans damaging the environment. In a short interview posted on Oprah’s Twitter account today, Elba likened humanity to an “infection”, saying he’s not surprised the world would respond by trying to “get rid of” us, “as any organism would do.” “Our world has been taking a kicking,” he said. “You know, we’ve damaged our world and, you know, it’s no surprise that our world is reacting… It’s no surprise that a virus has been created that is going to slow us down and ultimately make us…

In all the media turmoil surrounding COVID-19, you may have missed the passing of Dr. Catherine Hamlin, aged ninety-six. Dr. Hamlin’s gynaecological work in treating Ethiopian women suffering from obstetric fistula was so remarkable that even The Sydney Morning Herald referred to her as “the saint of Addis Ababa”. Julie White, Chair of Catherine Hamlin Fistula Foundation said: “Catherine has lived an incredible life having made an enormous difference to the lives and health of thousands upon thousands of women in Ethiopia. Her passionate commitment to women and maternal health through her trust and belief in fulfilling God’s work with…

Ahmed Shaheed, lecturer and volunteer adviser to the U.N., is advocating that religions conform to an eventual universal, “progressive” law. In his latest report for the U.N, the religious freedom advocate provides an argument for a blueprint, which will outlaw any theological critique or practice, unless it has first been approved, or established by LGBTQAAI+ activists, radical feminists and academics who advocate from a Leftist worldview. Steve Warren from CBN news rightly noted that recent ‘Report of the Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief’ (available as a Word Document here), makes no distinction between who and what religion…

An emergency law passed in Denmark on Thursday night, giving health authorities the power to force people to be tested and vaccinated for coronavirus. The new law, which will remain in force for 12-months, will grant authorities the power to enforce quarantine measures, testing, treatment and vaccinations, even though there is currently no vaccine for the virus. Denmark’s The Local reports: Trine Maria Ilsøe, DR’s court correspondent, said that Danish citizens could face prosecution under the new law if they refused to comply with health authorities’ demands. “It means that you could be sentenced to punishment if you, for example,…

Hollywood’s elites have responded to the coronavirus outbreak with a cringeworthy video that’s quite possibly worse than the pandemic itself. The clip features Gal Gadot, Will Ferrell, James Marsden, Sarah Silverman, Jimmy Fallon, and Natalie Portman, among others, as they all attempt to sing a line each of John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s song Imagine. I guess it sounded good in theory, but wait until you watch the end product! Awkward! But what makes the video really disturbing is the song they decided to sing. As catchy as Lennon’s melody may be, the lyrics really are quite sinister. They envision…

A New York-based Muslim activist has urged Egyptians to deliberately spread Coronavirus to government officials and employees. According to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), Bahgat Saber, a Muslim Brotherhood activist in New York, said that any Egyptian with flu-like symptoms should “exact revenge” by intentionally going to police stations, public prosecution offices, courthouses, embassies and consulates to spread the infection in hopes of “toppling” the government. “Whoever has flu-like symptoms – cold, fever, sneezing – should pay a visit to his ‘friends’ who work for Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi’s government,” Saber said, according to a translation by MEMRI. “The…

We are living in a different world to the one we were in a week ago. In December 2019, a pneumonia outbreak was detected in the city of Wuhan, China. It was soon traced to a new strain of coronavirus—but not before infected travellers had crossed international borders in every direction. A few months on and the virus has spread to over 160 countries and resulted in over 7,000 deaths. While something like 98% of people who contract COVID-19 recover, the elderly and those with chronic health problems are most at risk. Governments the world over are deeply concerned that…

When future generations ask, who started the war? Remember that the seeds for the current war of words between the Chinese Communist Party and the United States were sown in February, when, Cui Tiankai, the Chinese Communist Party ambassador to the United States, claimed that anyone calling the COVID-19 outbreak by virtue of its origin, such as the Wuhan Virus, would be inciting racial discrimination and xenophobia. The World Health Organization, and the United Nations, along with the usual list of names from the perpetually angry Leftist Twitter echelon, backed the Communist narrative, declaring that use of the term “Wuhan…

Feminists in Mexico City have kicked a frail, elderly man off a subway train after they found him in a “women’s only” carriage. Footage of the incident shows the 94-year-old man struggling to make his way off the “women’s only” car with the assistance of his niece after he was confronted by the angry female commuters. “He wasn’t even seated,” the man’s niece, Rosales Perez, told Mexico’s El Universal. “They attacked him and started to tell him to get off the metro because it was an exclusive car, but obviously their [language] was aggressive.” The man, who reportedly suffers prostate…

Parents of a 13-year-old girl have accused a school in the UK of “brainwashing” their daughter into believing she is transgender. According to the Daily Mail, Ashleigh and Ged Barnett said the head of the LGBT group at Hoe Valley School in Woking, Surrey, conducted weekly one-to-one sessions with their daughter without their consent or knowledge. Mrs Barnett said a teaching assistant at the school had also pointed their daughter to a YouTube channel of trans activists promoting irreversible transgender surgeries and encouraged the youngster to change in the boy’s cubical. “The school didn’t think it was fit to tell…

As I write this article I am about to board an almost deserted plane from Northern Thailand bound for Bangkok and then hopefully, later this evening, on to Sydney. There is, however, a palpable sense of uneasiness—and even dread—amongst the passengers. Nearly everyone is wearing facemasks, avoiding all physical touch, and everyone is constantly washing their hands with a strong alcohol foam. Considering the rapid global spread of the disease, as well as dire projections of even further contagion, those measures are not unreasonable. But it’s the level of existential fear that stands out the most. By the way, for…

Islamic militants have beheaded a pastor in Nigeria just days after releasing a ransom video of his pleas for help. Rev. Lawan Andimi, head of the Christian Association in Nigeria’s chapter in his home region, was abducted by the Islamic militant group Boko Haram last month during a raid in the Adamawa state of Nigeria. Days after he was kidnapped, his captors released a video in which Andimi asked his colleagues to call on Gov. Ahmandu Umaru Fintiri to secure his release. “I have never been discouraged because of all conditions that one finds himself in is in the hand…

A pro-abortion feminist has accidentally hurled a Molotov cocktail at fellow protesters during an International Women’s Day rally in Mexico City. The Sunday demonstration which reportedly attracted around 80,000 participants took a violent turn with protesters vandalizing public structures, private businesses and church buildings. Video uploaded to social media shows a group of female protesters rallying around police officers standing guard at the Mariana Door of the National Palace. A female protester is then seen attempting to throw a Molotov cocktail at the officers. Her efforts fell short, however, and the firebomb landed immediately in front of her and into…

Disney-Pixar’s latest animated release “Onward” has been censored in Russia, banned in some Middle Eastern countries, and boycotted in the U.S. after introducing the first openly gay character in an animated feature film. The character, voiced by actress Lena Waithe, appears in just one “vital” scene in the middle of the film. During the scene, the female character, named Specter, makes mention of her lesbian girlfriend. However, according to a report from the Russian film website Kinopoisk.ru, the Russian dubbed version changes the word “girlfriend” to “partner.” “Presumably, Disney’s Russian branch tried to avoid unnecessary problems with the anticipated project’s…

Viktor Frankl was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist imprisoned in a number of Nazi concentration camps during the Second World War. In 1995, just two years before his death, Viktor was interviewed by First Things, an interreligious, nonpartisan research and educational organisation based in New York. During the exchange, Viktor said: “I am absolutely convinced that the chambers of Auschwitz, Treblinka, and Maidanek were ultimately prepared not in some ministry or other in Berlin, but rather at the desks and in the lecture halls of nihilistic scientists and philosophers.” Nazi Germany, along with various Communist regimes, have all vividly demonstrated,…
