Bye-By Elections and Big Fertility's Orphan Factories
This Week In Media | 12th - 18th February 2024
Hello everyone. A new week means new print and broadcast appearances are being brought straight to your inbox. Expect to learn about this week’s by-elections, how Big Fertility manufacturers broken families, and why we shouldn’t don Apple’s goon-goggles.
As you may have seen, I recorded a Triggernometry episode last week. It is being edited, and should be out within the next few weeks.
Why I won’t be voting Conservative
Thursday the 15th of February saw two by-elections in Wellinborough and Kingswood, resulting in two Labour gains from Conservative safe-seats. Despite Ben Habib’s personable campaign making significant gains for Reform UK, what lost it for the Tories was that over twenty-thousand of their voters stayed at home.
I discussed the deserved death of the Conservative Party at the next election with Peter Cardwell and Reem Ibrhaim on Talk TV on Saturday morning.
The conversation went on well beyond this clip on Talk TV’s YouTube channel.
You can watch the full version below, or on X or Instagram, where Peter and I went on an impromptu tangent to debate same-sex marriage and adoption, and discussed the Marxism presently infesting the Catholic Church.
How Big Fertility Manufactures Orphans
I was privileged to talk to Katy Faust, director of children’s rights organisation Them Before Us, recently. Katy is a compassionate advocate on behalf of those least capable of speaking up in their own interests and defence.
She made impassioned cases for the need for a “declaration of dependents",” enshrining the obligations owed to children into law; and shone a light on the atrocities perpetrated by the embryo industrial complex — IVF and surrogacy.

Don’t Don the Goon Goggles
For The Critic this week, I wrote about how Apple’s Vision Pro headset will entomb us in a solipsistic Plato’s Cave of sexualised shadows permanently-projected onto the real world.
In its ‘unreadiness to hand’, this technology reveals the telos of Liberal capitalism to be the rendering of human being fundamentally fungible.
Camus’ ‘Great Replacement’ is not a question of demographics, but of making every human person a standard manipulable unit, which can belong both anywhere and nowhere at the same time.
Apple’s Vision Pro headsets, in rendering us atomised consumer units occupying worlds entirely of our own making, reveal the anthropological assumption of modernity to be that human beings are homo economicus. Human beings are considered integers to be molded and managed to the needs of global markets. Holographic projection is a profitable way of making permanent consumption the prerequisite to modern living.
The Absolute State of UK Politics
Speaking of by-elections: this week on the Podcast of the Lotus Eaters, I covered the fractionating of England into ethnic and religious in-group-preferences by analysing the upcoming by-election in Rochdale.
In one of the infamous epicentres of the mass sexual abuse of White English girls, Labour candidate Azhar Ali was denounced by leader Keir Starmer after insinuating that the October 7th massacre was a false flag by Israel to provide them pretext to invade Gaza and the West Bank.
Another candidate, Graham Jones, was also suspended for saying, at the same meeting, that any British Jew who flies to Israel to serve in the IDF should be incarcerated upon returning.
For me, anti-Semitism is less the issue here, than the observable fact that anyone could campaign on foreign interests, supporting an Islamist terror group, and this be a viable path to gaining power as an MP.
‘Nigel Farage will return…’
Nigel Farage will return to frontline politics, whether his critics want him to or not.
Former Prime Minister Liz Truss appears to be attempting to dangle the keys to the kingdom with her PopCon movement. If anyone has a vendetta against the Tories, it's the woman they made the shortest serving PM in history.
I made this prediction yesterday, as part of Nana Akua’s debate panel on GB News.
Watch the full segment on X or Instagram.
That’s all for now. Next week, expect another essay for The European Conservative, a lengthy explanation with Carl Benjamin as to why Wokeness is a form of Liberalism, and an announcement soon on an exciting new solo venture…
