THE UNZ REVIEW - An Alternative Media Selection

In 1902, a few decades before Austria joined the Third Reich, German scholar Paul Langhans published an estimate of the size of the German people, coming up with a figure of almost 90 million worldwide, of whom 76 million in Europe. Even if one might argue with Langhans’ decision to consider the Dutch and Flemish...

ERLIN—Friedrich Merz has been in office as Germany’s new chancellor a matter of weeks, and already he has the German capital aflutter with worry about the increasing danger of a third world war. More to the point, while Germans are fearful of such a prospect, the Russians are warning of it. In a series of...

Due to the persistent problem of black dysfunction and criminality in America, the kind we witness in various forms each and every day whether it be on social media, nightly news reports or from personal experience, ‘black fatigue’ has reached epic proportions throughout the country. An increasing number of white Americans, including those of other...

The first ever ASEAN-China-GCC trilateral summit was a de facto celebration of the New Silk Road spirit. The first ever ASEAN-China-GCC trilateral summit earlier this week in Malaysia – with 17 Global South nations at the table – was a de facto celebration of the New Silk Road spirit. Malaysian Prime Minister and current ASEAN...

One of the frustrations of democratic politics is the return of ideas once thought discredited. It seems every generation must rediscover why certain ideas are obviously stupid. Most of these ideas grow out of the mistaken belief that the government can simply provide everyone all their material needs. One of the most stubborn bad ideas...

“Pissing in public.” That was the alliterative theme of the first tranny tantrum. “Moobs on the move.” That’s been the alliterative theme of the second tranny tantrum. Narcissists hate being told “No,” you see, and translunatic narcissists in Britain were told “No” by the Supreme Court in April 2025, when judges ruled that women are...

"Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again," by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, pulls from 200 interviews in order to expose Democrats' coverup of Joe Biden's cognitive and physical decline from his son Beau's death in 2015 through his presidency and into his misbegotten 2024 reelection campaign. The...

The first report came from RIA-Novosti, the Russian state news agency, on May 25 at 13:24. “President Vladimir Putin’s helicopter (lead image, top) was in the epicentre of repelling a large-scale attack by Ukrainian Armed Forces drones during a visit to the Kursk region, said Yury Dashkin [Major General in command of the 32nd Air...

There were quite a lot of what Donald Trump might describe as “bad things” taking place in Washington over the past week, to include the worsening of relations with China shortly after what appeared to be an agreement had been reached over tariffs; the arrival at an apparent impasse in negotiations with Iran over its...

Trump’s original plan was to quickly get rid of foreign wars in order to focus on his presidential campaign’s domestic agenda to Make America Great Again. Trump has discovered that Democrat “judges” and some RINO ones can block and distract him from removing illegal aliens who have no right to remain in the US, and...

One of the biggest stories to emerge from the last election cycle was the elevation of Robert Kennedy Jr. as an ally of Donald Trump, one of the true surprises in the American political(and cultural) landscape, along with the saga of Tulsi Gabbard. Part of the reason is the utter corruption of the Democratic Party...

The very successful Fourth Awakening conference took place on May 24 on the outskirts of Helsinki, Finland. It was organized by the dedicated and capable leader of the Finnish-nationalist Blue-and-Black Movement, activist Tuukka Kuru, who has sponsored previous Awakening events. Like the recent Remigration Summit, it attracted participants and speakers from all over Europe as...

Elon Musk expressed his disappointment in the Trump administrations bill, passed by the House, that avoided an automatic tax increase that would have occurred at the conclusion of 2025 by making permeant the 2017 tax reductions and which increased spending on defense and US border security. Musk mistakenly thinks that this bill undermines his and...

O.K, the Gulf of Mexico will remain so named, and the Government Publishing Office on North Capitol Street in Washington can stand down: The “Gulf of America” idea is no longer much of a kick. In the same line, Greenland will remain a Danish possession. Canada will still be called Canada, and Canadians can continue...

Perhaps Merz might consider a negotiated end to the conflict, rather than more empty sabre-rattling that he cannot deliver upon. Russia has established escalation dominance in Ukraine in November 2024 by raising the bar on the military capabilities that it is willing to use. Merz’s comments on western cruise missile use haven’t changed that calculus...

We are aware that we live in a technocracy, but we don’t necessarily understand what that means. What is a technocrat, and how does he or, increasingly, she function? A key text to understanding this relatively new style of governance is James Burnham’s 1941 book, The Managerial Revolution. Writing during World War 2, Burnham finds...

I am primarily concerned about domestic social issues. That is what I prefer to write about. Primarily, I hate women and like to share that message of hate with the world. However, for many years now I have been compelled to write about geopolitics because there is so much gibberish flooding the public space regarding...

Remember a year ago when the US BORDER WAS WIDE OPEN and vast numbers of immigrant-invaders were being helped into our country by the Democrats? NO FEDERAL JUDGE ANYWHERE DID ANYTHING ABOUT THE TOTAL FAILURE OF THE DEMOCRATS TO DEFEND US BORDERS. NOW THAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS TRYING TO SEND THE ILLEGALS BACK, THERE...

In America’s NGO space, some topics are so taboo that even renowned public intellectuals aren’t safe when they dare criticize sacred cows such as the state of Israel. Just ask Black economist Glenn Loury. A former Reagan-era conservative, Loury has held a distinguished career in the field of economics. After earning his doctorate at the...
