SCHILLER INSTITUTE FORUM WARNS OF GLOBAL NUCLEAR WAR, URGES NEW SECURITY ARCHITECTURE
The Executive Intelligence Review (EIR) and the Schiller Institute convened an emergency international online forum on Tuesday, titled “Epstein and the bottomless depravity of the elites: Urgent need for a cultural renaissance.” Bringing together a diverse panel of international scholars, former legislators, and analysts, the event painted a stark portrait of a global order allegedly on the […]
THE DEGENERATION OF THE EPISTEMOLOGIES OF ECONOMIC THOUGHT: DECODING THE BUDGET SPEECH
Let me begin by disarming the title. Degeneration of the epistemologies of economic thought sounds like something you would only whisper in a doctoral seminar room. It sounds intimidating. Dense. Perhaps even deliberately obscure. But it is actually very simple. It asks one question: How did we forget how to think about the economy properly? […]
CULTURE SHIFT: FROM EPSTEIN’S TRAINING CAMP OF DEPRAVITY TO A RENAISSANCE WORTH FIGHTING FOR
Every day brings new sordid and reprehensible details about the practices of Jeffrey Epstein and his collaborators and “guests.” Some speculate that the point of his operation was to compile incriminating documentation of high-powered individuals to be used to control them through blackmail. But this hypothesis misses the broader cultural point of sadistic depravity: the […]
HOLY HYPOCRISY: WHEN RELIGION FAILS THE PEOPLE
Last month, comedian-influencer Druski went viral for doing what almost no one else dares: mocking prosperity megachurch culture. In the now widely-circulated clip, he called out every ridiculous trait — pastors waving cash like holy water, private jets pitched in church parking lots, miracle claims delivered with award-winning theatrics, and worshippers exploited for their cash, […]

THE COST OF HYPOCRISY: GAYTON MCKENZIE AND THE WEAPONISATION OF THE K-WORD
When I first heard that Patriotic Alliance (PA) leader and Sports, Arts, and Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie had repeatedly used the K-word on social media – South Africa’s most vile and violent racial slur – I wasn’t shocked. Instead, I was enraged! Not because I expected any better from him, but because once again, black pain has been put up for public debate, […]
“ABSURD FOR ANYONE IN ANC TO EQUATE SACP’S ELECTION CONTESTATION TO THE MKP – A PARTY FOUNDED ON ETHNIC MOBILIZATION AND CHAUVINISM” – SAMBATHA
A few days ago, I read with distraught an article in one of the country’s leading newspapers titled: “Consider the implications’: ANC officials warn SACP against contesting elections”. The opening sequence of the article goes further proclaiming the following: “The ANC’s national officials have warned the SACP it could suffer the same fate as former […]
THE PRESERVATION OF WHITE PRIVILEGE IS ANTITHESIS TO THE NATION’S DREAM TO BE FREE
This year marks the 49th anniversary of June 16, 1976. It is almost half a century of memory with which we are dealing. Through the dialogue held in Soweto this week, we engaged in a struggle against forgetting. In South Africa, June 16, 1976 was the bravest action undertaken, only 16 years after the Sharpeville Massacre […]
