US Response to China’s Hypersonic Missile Test Fails for Third Time, by Eric Striker

Earlier this week, the Financial Times broke the story that China successfully tested a hypersonic glider capable of delivering a nuclear payload.

American defense systems are incapable of countering the technology, which travels through space to complete a revolution around earth. The… […]

Warnings and Threats — or Bluster and Bluff, by Pat Buchanan

Before the NATO ministerial meeting in Brussels this week, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin took a side trip to Georgia and Ukraine. Purpose: Assure these nations that America has their back and encourage their hopes of future admission to NATO. Austin, said the Pentagon, would tell both nations there is an “open door to NATO.” “Ukraine… […]

From Russia, with (Taliban) Love, by Pepe Escobar

Facing high expectations, a five-man band Taliban finally played in Moscow. Yet the star of the show, predictably, was the Mick Jagger of geopolitics: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Right from the start, Lavrov set the tone for the Moscow format consultations, which boast the merit of “uniting Afghanistan with all neighboring countries.” Without skipping… […]

The Problem with Leftism, by Thomas Dalton

Everyone complains about the Left, but no one does anything about it. Or so it would seem. Part of the problem, I suspect, is that many in the public have mistaken notions about what “the Left” is and how it operates, and thus they more or less mindlessly support it, or oppose it, as the… […]

The Latest Spy Story: Was It Involving Israel Yet Again?, by Philip Giraldi

An intriguing though fragmentary espionage story made headlines eleven days ago and then disappeared abruptly, suggesting that some folks in high places in the government and media were fearing that the full tale would prove to be embarrassing to someone. I am referring to the report of the arrest made by the Federal Bureau of… […]

The Covid Conspiracy Is Real and It Has Use in Its Grasp, by Paul Craig Roberts

Below is an extremely important analysis by a high level expert that explains and documents the engineering of the gain of function Covid virus driven by Tony Fauci and the engineered “vaccine” which is not a real vaccine but a concoction designed to produce endless variants of the virus, health injuries, deaths, infertility, and the… […]

The Racial Reckoning: Just Looking Around, by Robert Weissberg

The May 25, 2020 death of George Floyd might be likened to a massive geological upheaval —a 9.0 Richter scale earthquake accompanied by volcanic eruptions everywhere. The initial shockwave brought hundreds of destructive riots with aftershocks of black-on-black crime, calls for defunding the police, demands for yet more Critical Race Theory and similar anti-white indoctrination,… […]

Sochi Probes the Utopia of a Multipolar World, by Pepe Escobar

The annual Valdai Club meeting has always been positioned as absolutely essential when it comes to understanding the non-stop movement of geopolitical tectonic plates across Eurasia. The ongoing 18th meeting in Sochi, Russia once again lived up to expectations. The overall theme was Global Shake-Up in the 21st Century: The Individual, Values, and the State…. […]

“The Killing of Gaddafi 10 Years Ago Has Resulted in the Death of the Nation of Libya and the Destruction of Its People”, by Paul Craig Roberts

Americans are the most propagandized people on earth. In place of a news media they have a propaganda ministry that is a lie machine. Americans live in a spun narrative of lies. Few understand the evil intentions of their rulers and the way government is used to enrich the elite. British journalist Richard Medhurst explains… […]

Exclusive: America’s Most Important Right-Wing Conference of the Year Is An Israeli Influence Operation, by Eric Striker

From October 31st to November 2nd, the mother of all right-wing intellectual conferences is scheduled to be hosted in Orlando, Florida.

Victoria Annoys Russians, But Properly, by Israel Shamir

Rarely has Russia used this sort of language to a top rep of the major Western powers, but she was sorely pushed. Diplomats are usually polite, but Mrs (“F*ck the EU”) Nuland awoke the beast in her Russian counterparts. Probably it was a mistake to insist that she should be the one to deal with… […]

Ethnic Studies Mandated in California, by Philip Giraldi

It is more-or-less accepted that Jewish Zionists pretty much control many aspects of what comes out the other end of US foreign policy formulation and have plausibly done so since the time of President Bill Clinton, if not before. It was also a given that President Donald Trump, for all his talk of Making America… […]

Nationalism to Confront Globalism in Glasgow, by Pat Buchanan

“Extraordinary, isn’t it? I’ve been hearing all about COP,” said the queen to the duchess of Cornwall. “Still don’t know who is coming. … We only know about people who are not coming. … It’s really irritating when they talk but they don’t do.” Queen Elizabeth II was expressing her exasperation at the possible number… […]

The Tyranny of Translunacy: How Higher Status in Leftism Decides Who Can Invade Whose Territory, by Tobias Langdon

Here’s an interesting sentence in Latin: Utinam populus romanus unam cervicem haberet! But what does it mean? Since the nineteenth century, fewer and fewer British prime ministers have been able to answer that question. Boris Johnson bucked the trend. He has a degree in classics from Oxford and could tell you instantly that it means:… […]

When ‘Whistleblowers’ Are Censors, by Gregory Hood

Facebook is under attack. The attackers are right to say that social media need public oversight, but they are wrong in their goals. Regulation should preserve free speech, not restrict it further. The attack has been on two fronts. First, “whistleblower” Frances Haugen gave internal company documents to the Wall Street Journal. She then testified… […]

Central Asia’s Neoliberal Tragedy, by Michael Hudson

In the mid-1980s, Soviet officials saw a need to open up their economy in hope of achieving Western-style innovation and productivity. That was the decade in which Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan were sponsoring the neoliberal pro-financial policies that have polarised the U.S., British and other economies and loaded them down with rentier overhead. The… […]

American Pravda: Remembering the Liberty, by Ron Unz

I’m not exactly sure when I first heard of the Liberty incident of 1967. The story was certainly a dramatic one, the attack upon an almost defenseless American intelligence ship by Israel’s air and naval forces late in the Six Day War fought against several Arab states. Over 200 American servicemen were killed or wounded… […]

It All Makes Sense Once You Realize They Want to Kill Us, by Mike Whitney

Question– Have the mRNA vaccines been tested on animals? Answer– Yes, they have. Question– Were the animal trials successful? Answer– Yes and no. Yes, the experiments on mice showed that a low dose of the vaccine induces a robust antibody response to the infection. But, no, the antibodies were not able to attack the spike… […]

Black Man Rapes Woman on Public Train, Media Complains People Stood by and Watched, by Andrew Anglin

No one should be surprised by this. I don’t believe anyone can be surprised by this. I mean, come on. White people have been taught for a year and a half that black people are above the law, and that if you try to stop them from committing crimes, you will be charged with a… […]

Can We Escape from the Consequence of Our Insouciance?, by Paul Craig Roberts

Those of you not old enough to have watched the long incessant decline of our formerly free country can quickly comprehend the loss by listening to five minutes of the words of President John F. Kennedy in the early 1960s and comparing them today to the words in the early 2020s of Biden, the woke… […]

UK: Conservative MP Stabbed to Death By Somali Was A Strong Supporter of Black Lives Matter, by Eric Striker

The brazen daytime murder of 69-year-old Tory MP David Amess yesterday in Essex has brought worldwide attention to the epidemic of black knife crime. The accused killer, a 25-year-old Somali, patiently waited in line as Amess met with constituents then unleashed his savage attack, stabbing Amess at least a dozen times. In a twist of… […]

Race and Sex—Across the Anglosphere, Universities Can’t Handle Them, by John Derbyshire

[Excerpted from the latest Radio Derb, now available exclusively through VDARE.com] The horrors of Wokeness in higher education have been a staple of conservative commentary for decades—at least since the publication of Roger Kimball’s book Tenured Radicals back in 1990. So the recent flap at Yale Law School did not cause me to swoon in… […]

The People’s Square: “America Against America”, by Eric Striker

Why Is Stalking Legal?, by Ted Rall

Activists harass White House officials and senators as they eat dinner at restaurants. Another senator was recently stalked into the ladies’ room, where her pursuers shouted derision at her stall. Many other politicians have suffered protest demonstrations at their homes. Now that they’re beleaguered, this may be the perfect time to convince lawmakers to act… […]
