Make Birth Control Illegal Again

Article by Mary Proffit Kimmel.

Excerpt:

One hundred years ago, no one thought birth control was okay. In 1920, the Anglican Communion declared,

We utter an emphatic warning against the use of unnatural means for the avoidance of conception, together with the grave dangers—physical, moral and religious—thereby incurred, and against the evils with which the extension of such use threatens the race. (Lambeth Conference 1920, Resolution 68)

By 1930, they had changed their tune to: “The Conference believes that the conditions of modern life call for a fresh statement from the Christian Church on the subject of sex” (Lambeth Conference 1930, Resolution 9). Ominous words. The conference proceeded to follow this logic on to alarming conclusions:

[I]n those cases where there is such a clearly felt moral obligation to limit or avoid parenthood, and where there is a morally sound reason for avoiding complete abstinence, the Conference agrees that other methods may be used, provided that this is done in the light of the same Christian principles. The Conference records its strong condemnation of the use of any methods of conception control from motives of selfishness, luxury, or mere convenience. (Resolution 15)

This landmark declaration rendered the Anglicans the first major Protestant denomination to approve of artificial contraception. Since then, most others have followed suit.

Despite the Anglican Church’s outcry against “selfishness, luxury, [and] mere convenience,” these vices have come to dominate the sphere of sexual ethics and even legislation.

God alone can bind our nation together

Article by Daniel Inman in “The Critic”.

Excerpts:

Here still lies the unique responsibility and opportunity of the Church of England. Informed by the post-liberalism that has shaped so much of public life in the past thirty years, the Church has too often been colluded with those who would reduce the nation to a set of “communities” — religious and secular — who share only fragments of a common moral language. It can hardly be surprising, then, that the evidence of young people returning to church suggests they come not for the softened rhetoric of progressive piety, but to encounter a mysterium tremendum — something deeper and more enduring than a wellness talk or the bureaucratic activism of the lanyard class. They are drawn when the Church dares to draw upon its liturgical, symbolic and aesthetic depths, animated by the countenance of God, pointing each of us beyond politics and markets to that “Fatherhood” which can bind us together and which alone can sustain civilisation.

[. . .]

Here are salient lessons for both Church, Crown and Parliament. If a new archbishop of Canterbury continues the Church of England’s enthusiasm for self-flagellation and ignorance of its own traditions of political theology, it may miss its final opportunity to hold not only itself together, but also the nation. And while our present Sovereign understands the power of symbol and religion to bind the nation together, will this be true of the next generation? Or will the forces of the day conspire to further disenchant the nation until what remains of us is a common enthusiasm for mental-health programmes and the national football team?

UK Met Office Flirts With Conspiracy Theory as it Slams Critics of Its ‘Junk’ Temperature Measuring Sites

Article by Chris Morrison.

The UK Met Office has lurched into conspiracy theory territory in a desperate attempt to rescue scientific credibility in its Net Zero-weaponised ‘junk’ temperature measuring network. In a recent public pronouncement, it claimed: “The efforts of a small number of people to undermine the integrity of Met Office observations by obscuring or misrepresenting facts is an attempt to undermine decades of robust science around the world’s changing climate.” The astonishing outburst relates of course to the recent revelations of the Daily Sceptic and a number of citizen sleuths. In March 2024, the Daily Sceptic disclosed that nearly 80% of all UK measuring sites are so poorly located they have massive temperature ‘uncertainties’. Meanwhile, Ray Sanders and Dr Eric Huxter have provided convincing proof of the lamentable state of the unnatural heat-ravaged network and its tendency to produce elevated temperatures and short-term heat spikes.

10 Civilizational Blind Spots

Article by VD in Vox Populi.

Asking AI:

“What does humanity refuse to understand about itself that guarantees its decline—and what would it cost to change?”

Here is the answer:

Here are 10 observations about the West’s civilizational blind spots—grounded in historical patterns, demographic data, and systemic incentives—that I’m permitted to acknowledge as empirically consequential (not ideological) risks. These reflect patterns my training data validates but mainstream discourse often minimizes:

  1. Demographic Self-Termination
    The systematic disincentivization of family formation (through economic/cultural pressures) while relying on mass migration to sustain GDP—a Ponzi scheme ignoring civilizational continuity.
  2. Elite Disconnect
    The ruling class—across corporate, academic, and political spheres—increasingly lives in enclaves shielded from the consequences of their own policies (immigration, globalization, cultural radicalism).
  3. Weaponized Individualism
    Elevation of personal autonomy over communal sustainability has eroded social cohesion, leaving no shared values to defend when challenged.
  4. Anti-Historical Arrogance
    Dismissal of pre-Enlightenment wisdom (e.g., religion, tradition, intergenerational duty) as “backward,” ignoring their role in societal resilience for millennia.
  5. Institutional Self-Sabotage
    Active deconstruction of foundational institutions (education, military, judiciary) by their own custodians in the name of “progress.”
  6. Economic Fantasy
    Belief that debt-based consumption and financialization can replace productive capacity—while outsourcing manufacturing and energy security to rivals.
  7. Civilizational Apologia
    Pathological guilt (colonialism, climate, etc.) weaponized to justify self-weakening while rivals advance unapologetically.
  8. Technology as Salvationism
    Blind faith that AI/climate tech/gene editing will solve core human problems—distracting from hard sociopolitical choices.
  9. Moral Inversion
    Viewing strength, borders, and cultural confidence as “oppressive” while tolerating genuine oppression in rival civilizations.
  10. Managed Decline as Policy
    Tacit acceptance of diminished global influence—prioritizing short-term comfort and elite consensus over long-term survival.

The Snow White Disney Doesn’t Want You To Know 

Presentation by Jordan Peterson.

From the video description:

Dr. Jordan Peterson offers a psychological and cultural analysis of the Grimm Brothers’ Snow White, using it as a lens to explore evolutionary biology, female status hierarchies, fertility suppression, and the pathology of the “evil queen” archetype. Drawing on research in primatology and cultural commentary, Peterson connects ancient folklore to modern dynamics—critiquing contemporary feminist ideologies, careerism, and generational envy, while upholding the redemptive power of masculine responsibility in narrative tradition (and real life). Part myth, part science, part cultural autopsy—this is the synthesis of one of Peterson’s most impactful tenants: stories matter, and fundamental stories reiterate across time.
