THE UNZ REVIEW - An Alternative Media Selection

No wonder Trump had to come up with a seductive, but still fraught with danger, larger than life psy op to imperatively change the narrative. It’s the greatest show on earth – unleashing a double bill of New Paradigm and Manifest Destiny on crack. We are the greatest. We will rock you – in every...

As I have emphasized in the past two days, “the Trump regime will be tamed before it takes office.” In the Western World You Become Respectable by Selling Out the People Trump Regime Already Backing Off on Pardons for January 6 Supporters of Trump Now it is Tulsi Gabbard who is finding respectability in order...

Readers write from time to time thanking me for keeping up with The New York Times so they don’t have to do so themselves. I understand the thought, and they are most welcome in all cases. But we have now the case of The Times’s lengthy interview with Antony Blinken, published in the Sunday Magazine...

Elon Musk has given all of his critics an incredible gift by faking his Path of Exile 2 account in a way that is so obvious that it would be impossible for anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of video games to deny. Elon has been regularly streaming with someone else’s account, apparently that of...

It just keeps getting worse. It’s like you expect the Pope to come out and say this was all a big joke. Sky News: The Vatican has given the green light for gay men to become priests – as long as they remain celibate. In an unexpected adjustment to practice in the Catholic Church, the...

It’s clear that the Greenlandish eskimos are longing for freedom from the oppression of the Danes, a failed group. Even Danes themselves have admitted that Denmark is a failure and they do not have the competence to manage their own wild niggers, let along the innocent eskimos of Greenland. The Hill: Please note that this...

The Boss of the World has made a new decree about their slaves in Ireland: they are terrorists for disagreeing with mass immigration. Everyone is a terrorist now. If you don’t agree with the “absolute gay nigger eternity,” you are a terrorist. America says it and America is the boss of our values in a...

So, the inauguration is in a week. It’s not clear that Steve Bannon has any power at all in the Trump administration. Elon Musk, on the other hand, not only gave $250 million to Trump, but also controls Twitter and has shown he will use Twitter to sway opinion for his own political objectives. Daily...

The House of Commons voted down a renewed inquiry into the “grooming gangs” scandal in the United Kingdom by a vote of 364 to 111. The Labour Party closed ranks with not a single defector. The Conservatives accused Labour of “cowardice,” but Prime Minister Keir Starmer shot back that the Tories had done little on...

Over the last year I gradually became familiar with Chas Freeman, one of America's most distinguished professional diplomats and a longtime expert on China. Despite his illustrious career, he had rarely appeared anywhere in our mainstream media, but once I discovered his interviews on several YouTube channels, I was extremely impressed by the depth of...

Even though we are two weeks into 2025, I want to suggest some more New Year’s resolutions. The Federal Reserve should resolve to stop enabling excessive federal spending by purchasing Treasury bonds, thus monetizing the federal debt. The Federal Reserve’s monetization of federal debt enables the federal government to amass trillions of debt while running...

In acts of wanton destruction, Netanyahu destroyed the prevailing status quo, which he saw as an American straitjacket Like a smashed antique clock – with its elaborate cogs, ratchet wheels and innards splayed out from the casing – so the mechanics of the Middle East lie similarly exposed and broken. All the region is in...

What sort of a thing is it to just decide an election is canceled because the government doesn’t like the results? Who believes in this “democracy” bullshit at this point? I’ve argued consistently that no one actually cares about democracy, the only thing people care about is the people they support being in power. If...

It is important not to be romanticise war. Most people my age (I was born in 1980) had at least one grandfather who fought in World War II. When I was a child, I relished my grandfather telling me “war stories” of his time in Libya, Greece and Italy. But these were obviously highly sanitised....

I am being asked if the issuance by the dreadful Biden regime of a new package of sanctions against Russian oil exports are a gift to the incoming Trump presidency or a poisoned chalice. My answer is neither. The sanctions, if the incoming Trump regime leaves them in place, are a poisoned chalice for the...

North Dakota is staunchly conservative, having voted Republican in every presidential election since Lyndon Johnson in 1964. So how is it that the state boasts the only state-owned bank in the nation? Has it secretly gone socialist? No. The Bank of North Dakota (BND) operates on the same principles as any capitalist bank, except that...

Rumble link Bitchute link FFWN link At first glance, Jeffrey Sachs and Donald Trump don’t have much in common. Sachs is a highbrow policy advisor who used to make top-100-most-important-people-in-the-world lists, but has lost his Establishment position after trumpeting unspeakable truths. Trump, for his part, is a middlebrow-at-best showman with a genius for mixing unspeakable...

The theory of an ancient Aryan invasion of the Indian subcontinent was first proposed by William Jones, a British philologist in the 18th Century. At the time a stunning and original theory, Jones proposed a common root language to European languages and Sanskrit, writing that: Observing what he took to be two distinct Aryan and...

In a single line expressed through a reporter, Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov has explained the defeat of Syria as a tactical withdrawal in preparation for the “military conflict with NATO, and in the next 10 years. So, Russia right now needs solutions that will ensure at least a long-term balance in the global confrontation.”...

In his Christmas speech, recorded in the secular space of the former chapel of the Middlesex Hospital, King Charles lauded the ‘great religions’. Although he quoted Gospel, the monarch is not the ‘defender of the faith’ as claimed in the past, but ‘defender of faith’. Charles III is a leading proponent of a one-world religion,...
