In recent years, racist beliefs and conspiracy theories once considered so extreme they'd never be a widespread threat have entered the mainstream at a rate not just terrifying, but also astonishing. This 2019 article from SPLC Hatewatch looks at hundreds of emails from Stephen Miller to Brietbart, urging them to run stories based on articles from white nationalist website VDARE and American Renaissance. Miller also encourages his Brietbart contact to read the 1973 distopian French novel “The Camp of the Saints”, which depicts a future in which Western civilisation is destroyed by mass immigration. Miller suggests parallels between the novel and the European refugee crisis as suitable subjects for articles in Breitbart.

Miller is now White House deputy chief of staff for policy and homeland security advisor. There's little hope he's softened his views since 2025.

I've been struggling to finish and edit the book I've been working on since 2023. Any writer will tell you, it's hard to finish a book. Any writer, that is, except for Hunter S. Thompson, who on the basis of his reputation for unconventional brilliance was known to send his unedited notes, scribbles and jottings to his editors at Rolling Stone to somehow turn into a cohesive article. Since Thompson frequently just made up the surreal situations he claimed to find himself in, this was less of a problem than it seemed - and far less of a problem than his extensive record of cruelty and abuse, a record that seems to have little tainted his posthumous reputation as a one of a kind addled genius.

Vintage New York crime. How two young women became the victims of one man's evil plot in a scenario too strange for fiction. And truly depressing to realise that 70 years later, women still struggle to make police believe, let alone act, when in danger from a former partner.

If you had to store something for 100 years, how would you do it? And will our present survive to become the past of the future?

The story of Australia and its peoples is vast and deep. It’s one you should know, but possibly one you’ve never been told. Well, not like this anyway.
