• Unmatched Cairo, by Linh Dinh

    The Unz Review - Jan 11th 2021 5:48am EST

    It’s nearly impossible for me to write here. The streets beckon, and I’m a street rat, for sure. Right this moment, I could be in that bitsy Bab Al Louq café, having my first cup while watching people and traffic swarm by, or I could be on the subway, heading to Al Azbakiyyah, with its…

  • The Role of the Israel Lobby in Jon Ossoff’s Ascendance, by Alison Weir

    The Unz Review - Jan 10th 2021 4:50pm EST

    The new US Senator from Georgia, a 33-year-old who received the most campaign donations for a Senate candidate in US history, began his political career in 2006 helping to defeat Georgia’s first Black woman to be elected to Congress. She had been targeted for removal by the Israel lobby… Jon Ossoff, the 33-year-old Democrat who…

  • The Sanctimony of Tyranny, by Daniel Barge

    The Unz Review - Jan 10th 2021 1:46pm EST

    We live in Orwellian times in which “the narrative” is everything, and all facts must be bent, twisted, or omitted to serve it. This process has greatly accelerated in recent days, following the incident in Washington on January 6th, 2021, which is fast becoming the Reichstag Fire for the Big Tech leftists who are now…

  • Is America’s Future a Civil War?, by Paul Craig Roberts

    The Unz Review - Jan 10th 2021 11:31am EST

    As a person who grew up in the glorious aftermath of World War II, it never occurred to me that in my later years I would be pondering whether the United States would end in civil war or a police state. In the aftermath of the stolen presidential election, it seems a 50-50 toss up….

  • Trump’s Last Stand, by Israel Shamir

    The Unz Review - Jan 9th 2021 11:46pm EST

    President Trump was decisively beaten, if not fair and square. The hopes of millions of American voters were squashed and extinguished. The saga of the Orange Man is over. The victors used a gambit: they sacrificed the sanctity and security of the Capitol, allowed intruders in, permitted them to take selfies in the Speaker’s office,…

  • US Capitol Protest: Ruling Class Tantrum Shows Americans We Must All Hang Together, by James Kirkpatrick

    The Unz Review - Jan 9th 2021 11:16pm EST

    Power can only be checked by power, and because President Donald J. Trump and the Conservative Movement ™ didn’t oppose the emerging Totalitarian Left when they had the chance, the Historic American Nation is about to suffer real tyranny under the boot of our corporate and political rulers. The good news: the Capitol Hill protest…

  • Biden Is Not Yet Inaugurated and the Establishment Is Already Fomenting Civil War, by Paul Craig Roberts

    The Unz Review - Jan 9th 2021 11:16am EST

    Trump was demonized before he was inaugurated. He was demonized because he was correctly perceived by the Establishment as a threat to the Establishment. Trump’s election surprised the Establishment. The Establishment thought that Establishment control over the media guaranteed their power and was astonished to realize that enough American voters saw through their lies and…

  • Paul Craig Roberts Responds to Questions from Readers, by Paul Craig Roberts

    The Unz Review - Jan 9th 2021 9:03am EST

    Response to some questions from readers: “Eradicating Whiteness” — Why isn’t Ignatiev guilty of hate speech and advocating a hate crime? He would be if he were a white gentile speaking about black people. Noel Saul Ignatiev wrote in Harvard Magazine, Sept-October 2002: “The goal of abolishing the white race is, on its face, so…

  • Guinea Pigs United, by Gilad Atzmon

    The Unz Review - Jan 9th 2021 7:02am EST

    Not many countries are brave or reckless enough to execute a vast medical experiment on their entire population and put vulnerable people at risk. Britain and Israel did. On December 8, Britain was the first Western country to start “immunising its population.” Two weeks later, just a few days before Christmas, Britain grasped that it…

  • Lockdown III, by James Thompson

    The Unz Review - Jan 8th 2021 2:31pm EST

    The UK is under lockdown again. According to YouGov (4340 adults surveyed on 5th January) 85% of citizens approve. There may also be Tiers, of the four former sorts, and a possible fifth for very serious cases, but these have probably been superseded, and should be considered old news. Now it is just lockdown, and…

  • The Congress Has No Clothes, by John Morgan

    The Unz Review - Jan 8th 2021 2:31pm EST

    As an American observing Wednesday’s “mostly peaceful” protest at the Capitol from abroad, I admit I was taken by surprise. Foreign acquaintances had been asking me for months if anything dramatic would happen in relation to the election. While I was sure that a Trump victory would have led to BLM and Antifa violence on…

  • The Worst of Days for Trump & Trumpists, by Pat Buchanan

    The Unz Review - Jan 8th 2021 2:31pm EST

    President Donald Trump, it turns out, was being quite literal when he told us Jan. 6 would be “wild.” And so Wednesday was, but it was also disastrous for the party and the movement Trump has led for the last five years. Wednesday, the defeats of Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue in Georgia’s runoff…
