The Unz Review - May 2nd 2025 12:00am EDTThe Trump tariffs are one part of a multi-pronged strategy aimed at preventing China from becoming the dominant power in Asia.

Meet the Think Tanks Behind MAGA’s New Free Speech Crackdown, by Robert Inlakesh
The Unz Review - May 1st 2025 12:00am EDTThe administration of U.S. President Donald Trump—and many of his most prominent right-wing supporters—are directly linked to some of the most radically pro-war, pro-Israel organizations in the country. These connections form a sprawling web of lobbying groups, tech billionaires, and media figures who consistently promote Israeli interests above those of ordinary Americans. Why has the…
Trashing Traumatized Trannies, by Tobias Langdon
The Unz Review - Apr 30th 2025 12:10am EDTTransgenderism is both trivial and tremendous, both empty and epochal. It’s trivial in that it’s an empty and inane ideology powered by sexual perversion and mental illness. And it’s tremendous for the same reason. What do I mean by that? I mean that trivial transgenderism exposes and explodes the hugely powerful system of leftism, which…

Going to Kashmir…just to Find Alice in Wonderland, by Pepe Escobar
The Unz Review - Apr 30th 2025 12:00am EDTWelcome to “Ruler of the World” does Wonderland – to the sound of that hypnotic ‘Kashmir’ riff. Two overarching taboos reign on the – now shattered – collective West: Can’t define the Ukraine regime as Nazi. Can’t condemn the psychopathological Israeli genocide in Gaza. The taboos happen to be inextricably linked to the Forever Wars…
Moscow’s Conditions for Peace: Between Diplomacy and Force, by Paul Craig Roberts
The Unz Review - Apr 30th 2025 12:00am EDTDear Readers, as you know my interpretation of the Ukrainian “peace negotiations” is substantially different from that of the official narrative.

How AI Assistants Suggest to Deal with Trump Tariff Bullying, by Hua Bin
The Unz Review - Apr 30th 2025 12:00am EDTIt’s widely reported that Trump’s regime used ChatGPT to help come up with the tariff rates for the 180+ countries to balance US trade deficit. While I have my doubt any AI assistant would be so “not intelligent” to suggest taxing Heard and McDonald Islands, I thought it would be interesting to ask AI how…

The Unz Review - Apr 29th 2025 9:28pm EDTWhat do Iranian Uranium and White Identity have in common? The two categories are interrelated in current geopolitics dominated by Jewish Power. One might say the Jewish War on whiteness not only predated but set the preconditions for the Jewish War on Iranian nuclear power. Without the Jewish subjugation of the white race(and its doglike…
The “Peace Negotiations” Are Just Another Deception Creating a Narrative for More War, by Paul Craig Roberts
The Unz Review - Apr 29th 2025 12:00am EDTPutin’s 3 day ceasefire, which begins in 8 days, is unrelated to the Ukrainian negotiations. The ceasefire is in memory of the 80th Anniversary of Russia’s defeat of Germany in World War II, a defeat in which the US, Britain, and France played a minor role as the casualty lists indicate. Russia bore the brunt…
American Pravda: McCarthyism, Part I – the Man, by Ron Unz
The Unz Review - Apr 28th 2025 12:00am EDTLast month the Trump Administration launched an unprecedented assault against academic and intellectual freedom in America, targeting many of our most elite institutions of higher education. As an example of this, enormous pressure was exerted against Columbia University in New York City by withdrawing $400 million in annual federal funding and demanding its full cooperation…
Waiting On Xi, by Mike Whitney
The Unz Review - Apr 27th 2025 12:10am EDTThe purpose of President Trump’s tariff policy is not what he says it is. If the goal of the tariffs was to reindustrialize the country and create more jobs in manufacturing, the announcement would have been accompanied by an industrial policy that would outline a coordinated government effort to rebuild America’s critical industries. It would…

Are Americans Still Americans?, by Paul Craig Roberts
The Unz Review - Apr 27th 2025 12:00am EDTThis question came to mind from reading Edward Curtin’s essays, “At the Lost and Found,” (Clarity Press, 2025), in which he shares with readers his intellectual encounters with the rising criminality of the governments of the United States since the 1960s. Edward Curtin is a decent person with a sense of justice and a moral…
Are You Tired of Hearing About Antisemitism?, by Philip Giraldi
The Unz Review - Apr 26th 2025 12:00am EDTOne might well ask how a group composed of little more than 3% of the US population has managed to gain control of the nation’s foreign policy, its legislature and executive branches, its media, its entertainment industry, its financial institutions, and its elite universities while also making the United States subservient to the wishes of…
Russia Is Ready for a Bad Deal with Trump for Good Russian Reasons, by John Helmer
The Unz Review - Apr 26th 2025 12:00am EDTThere is a good reason that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, and it has nothing to do with heredity, dendrology, or gravity. The reason is that trees understand the further away the apple is dropped, the easier it is to steal. This is understood by the oligarchs who compose influential factions around…
the Ozymandias Miscalculation – Trump’s Peace Strategy Is War He Thinks Putin Is Too Weak to Resist, by John Helmer
The Unz Review - Apr 25th 2025 4:34am EDTIn Shelley’s most famous poem, the relics are described of Ozymandias, the ancient ruler with his “sneer of cold command” and his ill-fated power projection: Wess Mitchell, whose grand strategy for Trump was announced this week in Foreign Affairs, the platform of the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, places Trump among the rulers…
The Ukraine “Peace Deal”, by Paul Craig Roberts
The Unz Review - Apr 25th 2025 12:20am EDTThe details of the peace deal presented today by US special envoy Steve Witkoff are consistent with the report in the Financial Times discussed in my previous article and with Larry Sparano in the posted interview.

True Protectionism vs Crony Capitalism, by C.D. Corax
The Unz Review - Apr 25th 2025 12:10am EDTPart 1: Reasons for Embracing Protectionism Nothing destroys a good idea so efficiently as success—not so much the success of the idea itself as much as the success of those, politicians mostly, who claim to be implementing it. This is why in Russia advocating privatization is more likely to get you punched in the face…
China, Hong Kong and the Art of Blinking, by Pepe Escobar
The Unz Review - Apr 25th 2025 12:05am EDTCaptain Chaos definitely does not have the cards – which as even South Pacific penguins know, are all made in China. SHANGHAI and HONG KONG – So, predictably, Captain Chaos did blink first. As much as he – and his sprawling media circus – could not possibly admit it. It all started with “tariff exemptions”…

Has Putin Stepped Back from His Peace Conditions?, by Paul Craig Roberts
The Unz Review - Apr 25th 2025 12:00am EDTarry Sparano and I discuss the report in the Financial Times that Putin has modified his conditions for a settlement of the conflict. No confirmation of the Financial Times’ report has been forthcoming. The lack of comment by the spokespersons for the Russian Foreign Ministry and the Kremlin is puzzling. This morning’s report of the…
How Jewish Is the Christian God?, by Laurent Guyénot
The Unz Review - Apr 24th 2025 12:00am EDTThe notion that the Greeks or Romans — or even the Barbarians — were incapable of rising above polytheism to the concept of a universal God, and that Europeans needed Jewish monotheism — in the form of Christianity — to “know” “God”, is the seminal Jewish lie that has alienated us from our Roman past,…
What Happens to Us if President Trump Loses the Existential War with the Evil American Establishment?, by Paul Craig Roberts
The Unz Review - Apr 24th 2025 12:00am EDTA few readers thought I went a bit too far in my column two days ago when I expressed concern that if President Trump loses the existential conflict between Mega Americans and the corrupt anti-American Establishment, a return to power of the Democrats will mean oppression for traditional white ethnic Americans. Not in America, they…
A ‘Trump Deal’? Juggling War, ‘Easy War’ and Negotiation, by Alastair Crooke
The Unz Review - Apr 24th 2025 12:00am EDTThe key MAGA issue is not foreign policy, but how to structurally re-balance an economic paradigm in danger of an extinction event. Trump clearly is in the midst of an existential conflict. He has a landslide mandate. But is ringed by a resolute domestic enemy front in the form of an ‘industrial concern’ infused with…
