Today marks 19 years since Islamist terrorists murdered 2977 innocent people in a series of coordinated attacks on the US. The events of September 11 2001 need no description; the images and videos are seared into our collective consciousness.

Black Lives Matter: Are the police racist? A close look at the statistics.
Absolutely central to the Black Lives Matter narrative is the claim that the police disproportionately shoot and kill black people. Recent worrying cases, such as that of George Floyd and more recently Jacob Blake, have been cited as evidence of this fact. Are they? To find out, E2 Review spoke with Associate Professor Wilfred Reilly.Continue reading “Black Lives Matter: Are the police racist? A close look at the statistics.”
The killing of George Floyd was a disgrace. But it doesn’t justify the spread of misleading statistics.
Protests against the appalling killing of George Floyd by a US police officer are taking place around the world as we speak. The footage of a black man being choked to death by law enforcement has caused widespread revulsion, and it is entirely understandable that thousands have taken to the streets in protest.

Why are ‘progressive’ academic journals publishing articles arguing that men should be trained like dogs to fight patriarchy?
In his recent interview on the E2 Review Podcast, author James Lindsay described how he managed to get deliberately nonsensical academic papers, including one arguing that men should insert objects in their bums to fight transphobia, and another that dog parks are ‘petri dishes of canine rape culture’, published in leading progressive academic journals. WhatContinue reading “Why are ‘progressive’ academic journals publishing articles arguing that men should be trained like dogs to fight patriarchy?”
