More Suggestions for Dealing with Israel, by Philip Giraldi
The Unz Review - Mar 2nd 2021 12:00am ESTMy article last week that made some suggestions about what ordinary Americans can do to put pressure on Israel and on the lopsided bilateral relationship with Washington that has done so much damage to the United States proved to be quite popular. It also resulted in some comments by readers who saw other issues that…

The Unz Review - Feb 25th 2021 9:21am ESTGlenn Greenwald explains the Democrats’ determination to obliterate the First Amendment. The Democrats have resurrected the Third Reich in America: To further stamp out opposition to their one-party rule, the Democrats intend to criminalize American gun owners, thus obliterating the Second Amendment. To relieve the Establishment of the bother of independent citizens is why the…
Vaccination Procrastination, by James Thompson
The Unz Review - Feb 24th 2021 5:08am ESTOn Monday England was given an indication as to how it will eventually get out of lockdown. Gradually, and in very careful stages, seems to be the answer. We are in our third lockdown, and have staggered through two false dawns. What is different now is that vaccinations have been completed on 17.7 million citizens…

The Unz Review - Feb 23rd 2021 7:36pm ESTWhile the Ukraine has mostly been out of the news, there were bigger stories out there, things have gone disastrously wrong under “Ze” (Zelenskii) and the Ukraine is now looking at several time bombs which could explode at any minute.

What to Do About Israel?, by Philip Giraldi
The Unz Review - Feb 23rd 2021 12:00am ESTCritics of U.S. policy with and about Israel like myself have been relatively successful in describing the considerable downside in the bilateral status quo. We have demonstrated that the lopsided relationship supports absolutely no U.S. interest and that, on the contrary, considerable damage is done to the American people, to include involvement in armed conflict…
Biden: No New Cold Wars or Democracy Crusades, by Pat Buchanan
The Unz Review - Feb 23rd 2021 12:00am EST“What is America’s mission?” is a question that has been debated since George Washington’s Farewell Address in 1797. At last week’s Munich Security Conference, President Joe Biden laid out his vision as to what is America’s mission. And the contrast with the mission enunciated by George W. Bush in his second inaugural could not have…
The Art of Being a Spectacularly Misguided Oracle, by Pepe Escobar
The Unz Review - Feb 22nd 2021 11:12am ESTThe late Dr. Zbig “Grand Chessboard” Brzezinski for some time dispensed wisdom as an oracle of US foreign policy, side by side with the perennial Henry Kissinger – who, in vast swathes of the Global South, is regarded as nothing but a war criminal. Brzezinski never achieved the same notoriety. At best he claimed bragging…

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 ESTDirector 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 ESTImagine 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.

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 ESTThe 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…

The Covid Deception Serves An Undeclared Agenda, by Paul Craig Roberts
The Unz Review - Feb 19th 2021 10:21am ESTThere 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…

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 ESTFresh 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.

The Pale Male Paradox: How White Men Achieve Most and Are Vilified Worst, by Tobias Langdon
The Unz Review - Feb 18th 2021 7:36pm ESTIt’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 ESTIt will be difficult or even impossible to go back to a system where learning is actually a discipline that requires hard work and dedication.

Obituary for Rush Limbaugh, by Andrew Anglin
The Unz Review - Feb 17th 2021 11:37pm ESTRush 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.

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 ESTThe 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…
