  • Unintended Consequences and the Texas ‘Big Freeze’ Energy Disaster, by Ron Paul

    The Unz Review - Feb 22nd 2021 10:21am EST

    Last week Texas experienced a cold snap that resulted in serious statewide damage, death, and destruction. The collapse of the state’s energy grid left millions of Texans in the dark and freezing for days at a time. Tragically, at least 30 people died. There are many reasons why Texas became like a Third World country,…

  • Review: American History X, by Trevor Lynch

    The Unz Review - Feb 22nd 2021 8:36am EST

    Director Tony Kaye’s anti-skinhead morality tale American History X (1998) is proof that propaganda is far from an exact science. Just as Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket caused a surge in Marine recruitment, American History X actually increases audience sympathies with neo-Nazi skinheads, despite its best efforts to present them as hateful hypocrites and losers….

  • Biden Launches Campaign to Silence Critics of Killer Vaccine, by Mike Whitney

    The Unz Review - Feb 21st 2021 12:21pm EST

    Imagine if an ordinary working man went on a rampage and killed 929 people and maimed 316 others. The media would naturally call such a man a serial killer or a homicidal maniac. Now imagine if a big pharmaceutical company did the same thing by releasing a vaccine that killed and maimed a similar number…

  • It’s Clear the Capitol Riot Was a Dark Day in a Number of Respects, by Patrick Cockburn

    The Unz Review - Feb 21st 2021 10:36am EST

    The invasion of the Capitol on 6 January now stands alongside 9/11 as an act of war against American democracy. Unsurprisingly, news coverage of the incursion has come to resemble war propaganda. All facts, true or false, are pointed in the same direction with the aim of demonising the enemy and anybody who minimises its…

  • France: Macron Government Looks to Outlaw More Anti-Immigration Activist Group, by Eric Striker

    The Unz Review - Feb 20th 2021 2:06pm EST

    Two Jewish organizations in France, CRIF (Representative Council of French Jewish Institutions) and LICRA (International League Against Racism and Anti-Semitism), are lobbying the embattled Emmanuel Macron government into beginning the process of outlawing Generation Identitaire (GI), a group that uses art and symbolic gestures to protest against globalization and immigration. According to French media, Macron…

  • Bibi, Pfizer and the Election, by Gilad Atzmon

    The Unz Review - Feb 20th 2021 8:36am EST

    Israel’s biggest news outlet Ynet reported a few hours ago that in the country voluntarily making itself Pfizer’s testing ground, “75.4% of those diagnosed yesterday were under 39. Only 5.5% were over 60. “The number of critical patients dropped to 858 – the lowest since January 4. However, this number is more than double that…

  • Biden’s Great Replacement Acceleration Act, by John Derbyshire

    The Unz Review - Feb 19th 2021 9:51pm EST

    Earlier: Biden’s Treasonous Immigration Bill Opportunity For GOP Leader To Say Two Words “Immigration Moratorium” Thursday this week the Biden administration brought forth a bill on immigration. It comes in two versions, one for the Senate and one for the House, although the texts are well-nigh identical. Both versions are 353 pages long. [READ: Text…

  • The Covid Deception Serves An Undeclared Agenda, by Paul Craig Roberts

    The Unz Review - Feb 19th 2021 10:21am EST

    There is no scientific basis for the measures in place to deal with the alleged Covid Pandemic. Among experts the support for these measures are largely limited to those with financial links with pharmaceutical corporations. Public health bureaucrats, such as Fauci at NIH, are also linked with pharmaceutical corporations. Medical practitioners take their guidance from…

  • Coronapocalypse; Big Pharma’s Doomsday Vaccine #666, by Mike Whitney

    The Unz Review - Feb 19th 2021 10:06am EST

    Here’s your Vaccine puzzler for the day: What do Dr. Barton Williams, Hank Aaron, and 46 elderly residents in a Spanish nursing home all have in common? Answer— They all died shortly after getting the Covid-19 vaccine. But let’s not jump to conclusions, after all, in every case, the media has assured us that the…

  • The Department of Homeland Security Is Paying Deranged Leftists to Find A Way to Make You Change Your Political Beliefs, by Eric Striker

    The Unz Review - Feb 19th 2021 8:36am EST

    Fresh off a summer of prolonged murder and arson organized by leftists, the Department of Homeland Security announced the lucky winners of its “domestic terrorism prevention” grant system last September. One recipient program is at American University’s School of Communications, which got $568,613 from the DHS to partner with Google’s Jigsaw (an AI project that…

  • Is Biden Prepared to Lose Afghanistan?, by Pat Buchanan

    The Unz Review - Feb 19th 2021 12:00am EST

    Is President Joe Biden prepared to preside over the worst U.S. strategic defeat since the fall of Saigon in 1975? For that may be what’s at stake if Biden follows through on the 2020 peace deal with the Taliban to withdraw all U.S. forces from Afghanistan by May 1 — just two months from now….

  • The Pale Male Paradox: How White Men Achieve Most and Are Vilified Worst, by Tobias Langdon

    The Unz Review - Feb 18th 2021 7:36pm EST

    It’s one of the most interesting, enlightening and eye-opening books I’ve ever read: Simon Winchester’s Exactly: How Precision Engineers Created the Modern World (2018). Winchester tells a story of astonishing ingenuity, intelligence and effort from the steam-engine (44) to the “extreme ultraviolet” laser (296). And it’s almost exclusively a story of stale pale males—of White…

  • The Decline of the West: American Education Surrenders to “Equity”, by Philip Giraldi

    The Unz Review - Feb 18th 2021 1:36pm EST

    It will be difficult or even impossible to go back to a system where learning is actually a discipline that requires hard work and dedication. Public education in the United States, if measured by results, has been producing graduates that are less competent in language skills and dramatically less well taught in the sciences and…

  • Obituary for Rush Limbaugh, by Andrew Anglin

    The Unz Review - Feb 17th 2021 11:37pm EST

    Rush Limbaugh has died. Up until this morning, he was probably the most influential man alive. Despite his direct influence waning, he is a man who shaped an entire generation of conservative thought, for better and worse. He was an American icon, he was a genius, he was a sellout and a glutton who wasn’t…

  • Russia Holds the Key to German Sovereignty, by Pepe Escobar

    The Unz Review - Feb 17th 2021 1:21pm EST

    Last week we traced the necessary historical and geopolitical steps to understand Why Russia is driving the West crazy. And then, last Friday, right before the start of the Year of the Metal Ox, came the bombshell, delivered with customary aplomb by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. In an interview with popular talk show host…

  • AP and Atlantic Council Anoint Me “COVID Conspiracy Super-Spreader”— and Erase Ron Unz, by Kevin Barrett

    The Unz Review - Feb 16th 2021 12:01am EST

    The bad news is that two of the most powerful institutions in America have anointed me a “COVID super-spreader.” The good news is that I stand accused of super-spreading “COVID conspiracy theories,” not the actual disease. But the worse news is that the way things are going, “conspiracy spreaders” may soon be quarantined in COVID…

  • ICC to Investigate Israeli War Crimes, by Philip Giraldi

    The Unz Review - Feb 16th 2021 12:00am EST

    Well, as usual, there is good news and bad news. The good news is that the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague has finally received authorization to proceed with the investigation of possible war crimes and crimes against humanity in Israel-Palestine, to include both the Israel Defense Force (IDF) and also Hamas in Gaza….

  • Trump Acquitted (Again), But Trump Hatred Continues, by Ron Paul

    The Unz Review - Feb 15th 2021 11:21am EST

    Last week’s second impeachment trial of former President Trump should serve as a warning that something is very wrong in US politics. Far from a measured, well-investigated, rock-solid case against the former president, America was again abused with day after day of character assassination, innuendo, false claims, and even falsified “evidence.” The trial wasn’t intended…

  • The Great Covid Conspiracy of Silence, by Godfree Roberts

    The Unz Review - Feb 15th 2021 11:06am EST

    Because Coronaviruses have been with us for as long as conspiracies, it’s natural for people to link them. But the history of epidemics offers better explanations than any conspiracy theory and useful advice to those who study it and respond appropriately. This is the story of two civilizations: one that studied history and one that…

  • Trump Just Thumped the Democrats and That’s a “Win” for the Country, by Mike Whitney

    The Unz Review - Feb 14th 2021 8:37pm EST

    The Democrats approached the impeachment with the same cockiness that they approach everything. They thought they’d stomp their feet and run around with their hair on fire, and eventually people would see the righteousness of their cause. But it didn’t go down like that. Instead, the Trump defense team opened a can of whoop ass…

  • A Few Great, Often Forgotten White Moments, by Taylor McClain

    The Unz Review - Feb 14th 2021 1:21pm EST

    Since this is Black History month (how can we forget?), it is important (since there is no White History month) to pay tribute to the humble contributions that White folks have made to our culture and to Western Civilization. I don’t want to risk bragging by enumerating the obvious and blaring it out like some…

  • NYC: Black Lives Matter Supporting Hipsters Targeted In Spree of Black-On-White Violence, by Eric Striker

    The Unz Review - Feb 14th 2021 1:21pm EST

    Violent blacks in New York City are enjoying a golden age for crime after the Mayor’s office and mostly white and Jewish leftists came together to cut funding for the NYPD and release perpetrators without bail. They were also successful in getting the NYPD’s plainclothes anti-crime unit abolished last summer, despite protests against doing this…

  • America’s Catastrophic Disintegration, by Paul Craig Roberts

    The Unz Review - Feb 14th 2021 1:21pm EST

    We can observe the disintegration of the United States in the Democrats’ 1930s-style Stalinist Show Trial of Donald Trump. Republicans provided the Senate with video proof that Democrats responded to their 2016 defeat with insurrectionist language whereas Trump did not respond to the stolen 2020 election with insurrectionist language. But in the Democrats’ Show Trial…

  • Satanic Rituals, by James Thompson

    The Unz Review - Feb 13th 2021 9:06am EST

    At a time when there are concerns that Covid is being over-diagnosed, and its impact exaggerated, it is useful to look at another claim: that traumatic events in childhood have a major effect for the rest of a person’s life. On 18 November 1987 a fire at King’s Cross Underground station in London killed 31…
