What leads man to deny historical facts or other scientific evidence? Why do we still have Holocaust deniers despite a plethora of evidence?
When he arrived with his men at the concentration camps, he had no doubts.
He ordered that as many photographs as possible be taken of the mass graves where bones, clothes, decomposed skeletal bodies were piled up like random pyramids.
Photographs of all the freezing barracks that were used as dormitories, photographs of barbed wire, crematoria, uniforms, caps, control towers, weapons, torture instruments.
Photographs of survivors so close to death that they could speak to them and return them to anyone who looked at them without even having to open their mouths. Without speaking, without words.
Eisenhower demanded that all German residents of nearby towns be taken to concentration camps to see the reality of events and that these civilians be forced to bury the bodies of the dead.
And then he explained: " Let us have as much documentation as possible – whether it be film recordings, photographs, testimonies – because there will come a day when someone will stand up and say that none of this ever happened ."
Because one day someone will come and say that all this never happened: repeat, frame and sanctify this phrase.
What Eisenhower saw when he entered the camps changed him forever. Few accounts capture those moments in full detail, but the records he left behind tell a powerful story about leadership, shock, and the weight of truth.
Alice Nderitu. Most people don't know that name.
I talk about her all the time. Why is she important? She was one of the world's preeminent experts on genocide.
She's a Kenyan woman, not a Jew, not married to a Jew, obviously not Israeli.
She rose in the ranks of international communities around the world because of her tremendous expertise in this field.
And she she reached the pinnacle of this field. She became the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Crime of Genocide and the Prevention of Genocide.
She became the world's preeminent and most prominent source on whether genocides were happening around the world and how to prevent them.
And she was adamant and clear that there was no genocide in Gaza, that it was the furthest thing from a genocide, that Israel spent tremendous amounts of money and effort and had an entire organization of its government devoted to preserving and protecting the lives of uninvolved Palestinian citizens.
And then what did Alice Nderitu get for telling the truth at the United Nations?
She was fired. Her contract was not renewed, and someone who would toe the party line was placed there in her stead.
And it's the fact that no one even knows her name that shows you what it looks like to lose an information war in the West.
Eight years ago a BBC reporter was given access to the terror tunnels under Gaza.
Later in October and November 2023 the BBC claimed that they had “no evidence of tunnels” and they “could not verify Israel’s claims”.
You decide what to believe….
Anthony Albanese just told an Australian reporter that asking about your tax money is “disrespectful”
Yesterday in Palau, 7News’ Josh Martin asked a simple question:
“Taxpayers are covering $20m for the pre COP climate summit in Fiji, Tuvalu next month. Only five leaders from outside the Pacific have confirmed. Is that value for money?”
Albanese snapped.
“With respect, you are being so disrespectful to the Pacific leaders who are here.”
He continued “respect for the process and respect for our Pacific leaders.”
The five confirmed attendees, Thailand, Antigua and Barbuda, Cabo Verde, Maldives, Timor-Leste.
Interestingly, India declined.
The biggest carbon emitters in the world, who Albanese never seems to raise this issue with Modi, when he agreed to accept millions of Indian immigrants in return for nothing.
Not the US. Not the UK. Not China. Not France. Not Japan.
No heavy hitters.
This is the warm up event Australia is bankrolling after losing the actual COP31 hosting bid to Turkey.
Chris Bowen got the consolation prize of “President of Negotiations.”
Us taxpayers got the bill.
Total spend tied to Bowen’s COP role has been put at $150m in some reporting. The government previously refused to release the guest list. Fiji’s foreign minister let the five names slip.
Asking how public money is spent is not an insult to Pacific leaders. It’s the job.
Show some respect for Australian taxpayers, Prime Minister.
50 years have passed since this photo was taken.
Palestinian terrorists stormed the Christian town of Damour in Lebanon and killed 582 Christian civilians.
A priest who survived described it as “the end of the world.”
He said: “They came by the thousands, shouting, ‘Allahu Akbar! Kill them for the Arabs. Let us offer a sacrifice to Muhammad!’ They slaughtered everyone in their path: men, women and children.”
Men were lined up against their homes and shot. Women were tortured and repeatedly raped. Infants were shot in the back of the head. Fetuses were torn from pregnant women’s wombs.
This was one of many massacres by Palestinian terrorists against Christians.
Share so the world knows. #FuckPalestine
I am not a builder. I am not an engineer. I am not a farmer, nor a miner. I cannot build a railway, sink a mine shaft or raise a bridge. In the civilisational sense I am spectacularly useless, merely a steward of memory through my work. But I refuse to let that memory be softened or rewritten.
Europeans built Australia. Not “contributed.” Built. The farms, mines, railways, ports, roads, bridges, dams, power stations, factories, universities and institutions which turned isolated colonies into one of the richest nations on earth did not appear by accident. Our ancestors crossed mountains, cleared land, sank shafts, strung telegraph wire across a continent, opened the Pilbara, built the Snowy Mountains Scheme and spanned Sydney Harbour. They did it through hardship and mistakes, yes, but also through ingenuity, discipline and enterprise.
Yet the coping never stops. Serious people increasingly speak as though Australia emerged from a multicultural committee meeting, with everyone contributing equally to the institutions and prosperity we inherited. They idolise Aboriginal Australia, as if pre-colonial society were perfectly peaceful, harmonious and free from conflict, all while casting white Europeans as though they alone brought violence to the continent.
Apparently the railways laid themselves. The wheat belt farmed itself. The mines excavated their own ore. The dams rose from the valleys. The Westminster system, common law and universities presumably washed ashore already assembled. Point out who overwhelmingly built these things and suddenly historical reality becomes racist. The people who built the country increasingly appear chiefly as villains, the "evil white colonisers," while those who arrived yesterday receive retrospective credit, as if without them, our civilisation would be nothing.
I will never build a harbour bridge or blast a railway through the Blue Mountains. My job is smaller and more pathetic: I keep the ledger. I remember who built the roads, raised the towns, worked the mines, farmed the land, fought the wars and built the institutions. We built it. The least we should do is stop pretending otherwise.
The stench of desperation from the Labor camp.
Ditch the witch against Jacinta Allan and Labor screamed in protest.
Now … the death threats against Pauline is her own fault.
Labor - double standards only care about themselves

Let me set the stage:
A fairly well known actor comes out as pro-"Palestine".
The backlash is massive. People hate it.
He loses 1 million IG followers within days. Then, a stageplay he was scheduled to perform in is boycotted so horribly that 80% of the seats are empty.
His producers let him go from his role because absolutely nobody wants anything to do with him.
His support for "Palestine" revolted the entire public.
This did NOT happen in the West. It happened in Tehran, Iran's capital. The actor is Navid Mohammadzadeh, and when he declared his undying love for "Palestine", he kneecapped his own career.
This is who Iranians are.
Nobody hates the "Palestinian cause" more than our people do.
They kidnapped a baby, his 4-year-old brother, and their mother, killed them all with their bare hands, then crushed their bodies with rocks to try to cover it all up… and yet somehow you want me to give a shit about the murderers and how we defend ourselves?
On October 7, Hamas brutally murdered 33-year-old mother Adi Kaplon right in front of her helpless child.
Immediately afterwards, they took a photo with her child while Adi's lifeless body lay on the floor inside the house.
If anyone asks, this is the reason why Israel is at war.
Navid Mohammadzadeh, one of Iran’s biggest movie stars, Venice winner, posted a video two weeks ago wearing Palestine colors and declaring he will support them forever.
Iranians didn’t argue. They didn’t “have a conversation.” They erased him.
Nearly a million unfollows in a day.
His current Tehran play’s ticket sales cratered so badly the producers dropped him from the cast.
This happened in Tehran. Not London. Not Los Angeles. Inside the country the regime has spent decades trying to turn into a Palestine cheering section.
If the same video dropped in New York, he’d get a standing ovation, a think-piece, and extra work.
Proud of my people.🦁☀️
We are done subsidizing a cause that has cost us blood, money, and decades.
Let me introduce you to a brave hero from my country, Iran.
She was 16 years old. Just a girl. And on the streets of Iran, she did something braver than most people do in a lifetime: she took off her hijab and burned it in public. Right in front of the regime. Right in front of the world.
That was her crime: civil disobedience. A teenage girl refusing to obey men who claimed authority over her hair, her body, her life.
Her message spoke for millions of Iranian women:
To every man who rules over women in the name of religion, honor, or culture: We do not obey you. Your laws were never made for us.
This is what real power looks like: unarmed, unafraid, unbowed.
For that defiance, she was arrested. Her family says she was tortured and killed after falling into the hands of security forces. The Iranian authorities denied responsibility and gave a different account of her death.
Her name was Nika Shakarami. She was 16.
Now ask yourself: How many women in the West know her name? How many know what she risked for a freedom they have never had to fight for?
Say her name: Nika Shakarami.
So it turns out China was building a hydro electric facility by a glacier and all the construction caused a portion of the glacier to collapse, tumble down, and turn into a mudslide that killed like 2,500 Nepalese people.
But all you will hear about in the news is leftists claiming this was because of climate change
The attacks from Chalmers and Albanese on One Nation have become increasingly desperate. Yesterday they crossed a line.
No matter how worried Jim and Albanese are about losing their jobs, telling Australians that their democratically elected opponents are “dangerous” and a “threat to our country” invites people to treat them as a threat.
Words have consequences.
That is how political violence is incited.
The murder of Ann Widdecombe in Britain should be warning enough about the dangers of poisonous political rhetoric.
Anthony Albanese says we need to turn down the heat and violent rhetoric in our political discourse.
Meanwhile, he and his Treasurer are pouring petrol all over it.
Australians are entitled to vote for One Nation without being told by the Treasurer and the Prime Minister that their democratic choice is a danger to the nation.
The real danger is that Jim and Albanese's incompetent economic management will continue to push your rent, your mortgage and your bills even higher.
The real danger to Jim and Albanese is that the people of Australia are coming for their government… at the ballot box.
