Today’s news behind the news, aggregated and updated throughout the day.

Storming the beaches of the Culture War, covering the latest Woke Supremacy, Big Brother and other related items.

Featuring occasional commentary from our in-house writers.


Congratulations to Merriam-Webster. You have just earned a spot on our Woke Corporation Watch list here. Well done. 

Though it does make sense that a group dedicated to the English language would be infiltrated by woke zealots. Given that language is under attack right now – BrandX. 









‘Liberals demand new judge in Rittenhouse case after his phone rings during trial with patriotic ringtone’.

…tells you everything you need to know – BrandX. 






Dominic Frisby is a real smart guy and definitely one to check out. Some of these books are listed in our Recommended Reading section here, including his 2014 book ‘Bitcoin: The Future of Money?’ which I am told is the first book ever published by a major publisher on the subject – BrandX. 




Go on. We will give our fellow Englishman Milo Yiannopoulos a shout out and promote his 2017 book Dangerous, as featured in our Recommended Reading section here.

Coincidentally, I was just having a Skype discussion with one of our researchers earlier tonight and we were discussing our mutual introduction to the Culture War (at least consciously) back in 2016. And as questionable as Yiannopoulos can be, he did do some excellent work during that time, exposing the true violent colours of the far left, the third-wave feminists, Black Lives Matter… and much of the rest.

True, as a professional provocateur, he sets himself up slightly as the villain, sometimes acting like a bell-end as a result, but he did make a positive difference back in the day. If met him today I would certainly shake his hand.

As I say, other antics aside, his 2017 book was a good read at the very least – BrandX.

I have a lot of time for Andrew Doyle. Always on point and witty as well.

You can check out some of his published work in our Recommended Reading section here. Bear in mind he has written a couple of books as a satirical woke caricature author called ‘Titania McGrath’.

I also understand he has another book coming out in 2022, titled ‘The New Puritans: How Identity Politics and Social Justice Became the Dominant Religion of Our Time’ – BrandX.

“To exchange one orthodoxy for another is not necessarily an advance. The enemy is the gramophone mind, whether or not one agrees with the record that is being played at the moment.” – Excerpt from ‘The Freedom of the Press’, by George Orwell (1945).
