THE UNZ REVIEW - An Alternative Media Selection

Over the weekend, President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency head Elon Musk made quite a stir with just two words posted on his social media platform, X. Responding to a post that, “It’s time to leave NATO and the UN,” Musk replied, “I agree.” The comment immediately made the rounds on social media and also...

Readers want to know why the UK PM and European leaders–really, non-readers, misleaders, bad leaders–want war with Russia over Ukraine. My answer is that they don’t. What would they go to war with? According to the European “leaders,” they already have given all their weapons to Ukraine and have nothing with which o fight a...

This essay is the second installment of my interview with Mike Whitney published on Unz Review. This is quite lengthy as I was trying to cover many grounds in Mike’s expansive question about the underlying forces for China’s resurgence. Here's the question: China's Revival in the Context of its History The west likes to talk...

A few weeks ago I published a long article on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, reviewing the available evidence on that notorious document of the very early twentieth century and attempting to evaluate its credibility and provenance. My ultimate verdict was rather hum-drum. I concluded that the work was likely fictional, but probably...

President Trump has advanced a new policy proposition that engagement and dialogue is vital if we are to bring an end to the fighting. When western pundits resist efforts to bring an end to fighting in Ukraine, they never provide an alternative vision of what they would do differently. A respected associate of mine asked...

During the Oval Office meeting last Friday with Vladimir Zelensky, President Donald Trump said: “We gave you through this stupid president [Biden] $350 billion.” The day before, in Trump’s two press conferences with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on February 27, Trump repeated this number three times over: “And then if you look at the...

For the first time in many years there is hope. The DEI/Woke/Democrat assault on white Americans has been stopped at least for four years. For awhile I won’t have to worry that the FBI will break down my door because some creep doesn’t like what I wrote or said in an interview. As my assumption...

Once one of the more solid bilateral partnerships in the Western Hemisphere, Colombia-United States relations are on the cusp of entering a new phase of deterioration under Donald Trump’s second term. Starting on Jan. 26, 2025, a diplomatic dispute erupted between the United States and Colombia over the deportation of Colombian illegal aliens. In that...

source: @WillyFoosball on X On February 7th, President Trump issued an executive order titled “Addressing Egregious Actions of the Republic of South Africa.” This was in response to South Africa enacting an appropriation act that would seize White-owned property. Trump’s executive order entails placing sanctions on South Africa, cutting their foreign aid, and most notably,...

Ramadan karim! Cat McGuire and I will discuss Trump-Zelensky and more on False Flag Weekly News later today. -KB The good news is that an American president finally stood up to a Jew who came to pick America’s pockets. The bad news is that it wasn’t Bibi Netanyahu. Trump fawns all over Netanyahu, whose genocidal...

LAGO de CHAPALA, Mexico—Watching that procession of hapless European supplicants passing through the Oval Office this week, my mind wandered briefly and came back with an imaginary scene I found pleasurable and instructive all at once: What if Claudia Sheinbaum went to see President Trump right after Andrzej Duda, the ineffectual Polish president, Emmanuel Macron,...

In 2009, at a secret and un-filmed Occidental Quarterly meeting in Atlanta, a portly, middle-aged Englishman with a slightly whining rural accent delivered what, according to multiple witnesses, was the best speech ever made. Certainly, they all agreed, it was the best nationalist speech ever made. It was all the more impressive if you consider...

For those who keep track of the slings and arrows crossing the broader geopolitical chessboard non-stop, it’s an immensely powerful – and humbling – experience to one day be contemplating the devastated Avdeyevka, in the heart of the war in Donbass, and a week later struggling to understand the devastation inflicted on villages in southern...

Rumble link Bitchute link Jim Kavanagh of The Polemicist discusses “Trump’s Exemplary Gaza Plan,” as well as ongoing geopolitical upheavals, led by the Trump-instigated US break with Europe and Ukraine.

Well, the best thing ever finally happened. As you probably know. Volonodonomodor Zeeleniniskiyey came to the White House to meet Donald Trump and it turned into the most public diplomatic breakdown in known history. First, James Bowman, who was at the meeting for some reason, began lecturing Zelensky with all of the talking points that...

‘Germans are either at your throat or at your feet,’ quipped old war lover Winston Churchill. Today, Germans are at our feet – an astounding 80 years after the end of World War II. Though mostly reunited, Germany remains an occupied nation reduced to second class status and afflicted with war guilt. Japan – also...

For this essay, let's not debate the pros and cons of our new old president. Detailing specific reasons that many Americans are upset with/scared of/annoyed by President Donald Trump and the Republican Party would be a distraction from a point that desperately needs to be made. Suffice it to say, millions of people are angry,...

Several hours before Vladimir Zelensky arrived at the Oval Office, Nima Alkhorshid led the discussion of each of this week’s negotiations on the Ukraine war by President Donald Trump, and by the only brain in the room, Vice President JD Vance.

The AIPAC-aligned Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP), which often refers to itself simply as The Washington Institute, was recently outed as a “dark money” think tank for its lack of transparency on donors and is continuing to push the United States to engage in conflicts overseas to Israel’s benefit. Its case raises questions...
