  • England Expects, by James Thompson

    The Unz Review - Jul 12th 2021 9:13am EDT

    Performance anxiety is a hazard in all skilled behaviour. Whatever the level of motor skills, and however much repeated practice is put in, it is an essential part of human nature to worry about what may happen, and to contemplate the possibility of failure. This is not all bad, since anxiety can be the spur… […]

  • Blue America Hates the Rest of Us and Is Out to Get Us, by Paul Craig Roberts

    The Unz Review - Jul 12th 2021 8:02am EDT

    The Manhattan District Attorney’s office is a tool of the Democrat machine. The office is out to destroy Republicans, especially Donald Trump and his family. There are no valid charges against Trump and his daughter, Ivanka. But prosecutors do not need valid charges. The way they proceed (see Paul Craig Roberts, The Tyranny of Good… […]

  • American Pravda: Covid, Wuhan, Iran, and Several Red Herrings, by Ron Unz

    The Unz Review - Jul 12th 2021 12:00am EDT

    During most of the last year theories regarding the origins of Covid, whether conspiratorial or otherwise, had disappeared from the public debate, pushed aside by the nationwide Black Lives Matter protests and the final stages of the heated presidential campaign. In early January, prominent liberal author and public intellectual Nicholson Baker had tried to revive… […]

  • Face It: Controlled Opposition Cucks Like David French, Ross Douthat Are Traitors, by James Kirkpatrick

    The Unz Review - Jul 11th 2021 11:02pm EDT

    Earlier, by Steve Sailer: David French: If Anti-CRT Laws Pass, The Current Robust Debate Over Race In The Schools Will Be Shut Down There comes a point, and I think we’ve reached it, where we can no longer assume certain Establishment cuckservatives’ supposed “principled” support for Progressive causes is argued in good faith. David French… […]

  • Joseph P. Kennedy, the Cursed Peacemaker, by Laurent Guyénot

    The Unz Review - Jul 10th 2021 8:32pm EDT

    There can be no complete understanding of John Kennedy without some understanding of his father, Joseph Patrick Kennedy, for this is where he came from, not only in his own eyes and those of his friends, but in the eyes of his enemies too. The same is true for his brother Robert, of course. I… […]

  • The Israeli Farce, by Israel Shamir

    The Unz Review - Jul 10th 2021 2:02pm EDT

    The recently inaugurated Israeli government, the Coalition-for-Change, the wet dream of Israeli and American liberals, Biden-approved-and-blessed after fifteen years of Bibi Netanyahu’s tyranny and four rounds of elections in the last two years – barely surviving a vote of confidence in cliffhanger-fashion – 59:59. It came to power on a slim ‘majority’ of 59.5:60.5 in… […]

  • BLM Is Just a Totally Jewish Scam That Isn’t Even Run by Black People, by Andrew Anglin

    The Unz Review - Jul 10th 2021 1:32pm EDT

    The cops really got into a rough spot, didn’t they? Everyone hates them, and the only thing they can even do is whine about it. AP: Oh, the SPLC labeled them a “hate group”? I guess the SPLC must be fighting back against anti-white hatred now! Wow. For those who do not recall, the New… […]

  • Verified Hate: Glorifying Death, by Gregory Hood

    The Unz Review - Jul 10th 2021 1:17pm EDT

    Many leftists really do think Ashli Babbitt was a “terrorist” and, presumably, deserved to die. Breaking into the Capitol was a bad idea. However, an unarmed woman didn’t deserve to be executed for it. Furthermore, when countless rioters looted, burned, and attacked people in the name of George Floyd they got away with their crimes…. […]

  • Vaccination Does Not Protect Against Delta Variant, by Paul Craig Roberts

    The Unz Review - Jul 9th 2021 11:47pm EDT

    The Open Question is whether the Delta Variant is caused by the vaccine. Governments are trying to create a new scare with the Delta Variant, but Boston University infectious disease specialist Davidson Hamer reports: “We are learning that many of the breakthrough infections are asymptomatic or they are very mild and brief in duration.” Don’t… […]

  • Abandon Afghanistan and Don’t Look Back, by Ted Rall

    The Unz Review - Jul 9th 2021 7:17pm EDT

    President Joe Biden deserves nothing but praise and support for his decision to honor America’s commitment, which was negotiated between the Trump administration and the Taliban, to finally withdraw from Afghanistan. After more than 20 years of wasted lives, endless property damage and the squandering of billions of U.S. tax dollars that would have been… […]

  • New Mayan Discoveries Revolutionize Theories of Mesoamerican Origins, by Fred Reed

    The Unz Review - Jul 9th 2021 1:32pm EDT

    Controversy has raged for decades in academia as to whether the Maya of ancient Mesoamerica independently invented writing and a sophisticated number system, with many arguing that European influence must have been involved. The recent discovery of carvings, such as the one above, in the hitherto unexplored recesses of the Chac Mool Cenote (a water-filled… […]

  • China Deletes Dozens of LGBTQ WeChat Accounts from University Students, by Andrew Anglin

    The Unz Review - Jul 9th 2021 7:47am EDT

    I read on GETTR that it is very bad for the Chinese to censor the gays. GETTR is the Donald Trump social media site that was created by Falun Gong to stop Donald Trump from being censored, and it is apparently big on the gays. The Guardian: … Tencent

  • Is Afghanistan a Failed Mission?, by Pat Buchanan

    The Unz Review - Jul 9th 2021 7:32am EDT

    As in Vietnam from 1965 to 1973, the year our prisoners of war came home, America did not lose a major battle in Afghanistan. Yet we did not win the war. South Vietnam was lost. And contrary to the message awaiting President George W. Bush when he landed on the carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, which… […]

  • Cruella Moments in Peru, by Oliver Boyd-Barrett

    The Unz Review - Jul 9th 2021 12:03am EDT

    Catherine and the Baroness The only character who actually dies in Disney’s Cruella is the sweet, good servant, Catherine, who consents to raise Cruella – condemned to death by her birth mother, the grotesquely unfeeling Baroness De Vil – as her own daughter. Cruella and the Baroness shall dance a burlesque that plays out to… […]

  • A Country That Has Lost Its Way: U.S. Government and Corporations Combine to Strip Citizens of Their Rights, by Philip Giraldi

    The Unz Review - Jul 8th 2021 3:03pm EDT

    The Biden Administration is calling on Americans to spy on friends, neighbors and family and reporting any “extremist” views to the authorities. The American people have increasingly become aware that government surveillance and corporate censorship have combined to keep people ignorant and controlled. What is taking place has generated some dark humor. A friend of… […]

  • A Conspiracy to Murder, by Paul Craig Roberts

    The Unz Review - Jul 8th 2021 9:47am EDT

    UPDATE: Just received this from an accomplished highly intelligent attorney I have known for many years: “I have just spent 10 hours a day In the hospital with my son since July 2, he is now stable but essentially went into A Fib they cannot fix now because of a clot (vaccine induced I am… […]

  • A Saigon Moment in the Hindu Kush, by Pepe Escobar

    The Unz Review - Jul 7th 2021 2:02pm EDT

    Let’s start with some stunning facts on the Afghan ground. The Taliban are on a roll. Earlier this week their PR arm was claiming they hold 218 Afghan districts out of 421 – capturing new ones every day. Tens of districts are contested. Entire Afghan provinces are basically lost to the government in Kabul, which… […]

  • A Declaration of Dependence, by Gregory Hood

    The Unz Review - Jul 7th 2021 11:02am EDT

    Five years ago, I wrote a book called Waking Up From The American Dream. One of my assumptions was that America was uniquely destructive because the egalitarian virus was implicit in its founding. America wasn’t really a “proposition nation”; no nation is. However, it was at least plausible to believe that it was, that it… […]

  • Beyond the Dollar, by Radhika Desai and Michael Hudson

    The Unz Review - Jul 7th 2021 6:17am EDT

    Introduction As President Biden continues his predecessor’s New Cold War on China, it is clear that the pandemic has vastly accelerated the on-gong shift in the international balance of power, away from the US and towards China. For former US Treasury Secretary, Lawrence Summers, it was likely a ‘hinge of history’: ‘[i]f the 21st century… […]

  • Jewish FBI Agent Infiltrates Bible Study Group; Then Tries to Entrap Its Members, by Eric Striker

    The Unz Review - Jul 7th 2021 6:02am EDT

    The family of 27-year-old Fi Duong thought they escaped government oppression when they left Vietnam. They were wrong. According to an FBI criminal complaint, Duong has been closely surveilled by the FBI for the past six months, including while he engaged in religious activity. In conversations with undercover FBI agents, Duong held that he entered… […]

  • The War on Antisemitism Gains Momentum, by Philip Giraldi

    The Unz Review - Jul 6th 2021 12:00am EDT

    It has frequently been observed how Jewish organizations in the United States and Western Europe exploit their claimed perpetual victimhood to excuse their own ethnocentric manipulations while also providing cover for Israeli war crimes. What they refer to as the “Holocaust” is, of course, central to the effort, complete with a standard narrative that has… […]

  • Crying Wolf in the Ukraine (Again), by The Saker

    The Unz Review - Jul 5th 2021 8:47pm EDT

    I have to admit that before I sat down to write this column I had some misgivings: I thought “not another article warning about a potential explosion in the Ukraine! Not again!”. And yet, events on the ground are what they are and ignoring them under the pretext that I am fed up “crying wolf”… […]

  • “Rule Britannia, Britannia Rule the Waves…”, by Eric Margolis

    The Unz Review - Jul 5th 2021 2:47pm EDT

    Time was when Britain’s mighty fleets ruled a quarter of the earth’s surface. I’ve been savoring the names of its dreadnaughts and battle cruisers like George V, Prince of Wales, Hood, Princess Royal, Iron Duke and scores of other renowned warships. Last week, the imperial British lion made a last, feeble roar by sending one… […]

  • It’s Saigon in Afghanistan, by Ron Paul

    The Unz Review - Jul 5th 2021 10:02am EDT

    The end of the 20-year US war on Afghanistan was predictable: no one has conquered Afghanistan, and Washington was as foolish as Moscow in the 1970s for trying. Now, US troops are rushing out of the country as fast as they can, having just evacuated the symbol of the US occupation of Afghanistan, Bagram Air… […]

  • America Abides, by Andrew Anglin

    The Unz Review - Jul 4th 2021 2:47pm EDT

    I usually try to do inspirational posts on holidays. This Independence Day is difficult, because it’s the first one in our nation’s history where we are totally, openly enslaved. But I shall do my best. This is a day that represents patriotism, and that patriotism is largely rooted in our freedoms as Americans. I hate… […]
