THE UNZ REVIEW - An Alternative Media Selection

Conservatives/Republicans/MAGA morons have been gearing up for a big fight against transgender rights for years. Now, some of the idiots in that crowd seem to want to use the Kirk killing as an excuse to implement their anti-trans agenda and seek “retribution” against trans people. They note that the alleged shooter has an alleged relationship...

What really happened on 9/11? The internet space has been abuzz with Tucker Carlson’s reassessment of what might be deemed the foundational event of the 21st century. Speculations about 9/11 have matched or even surpassed those about the John F. Kenney assassination, and one may argue as to which one was more consequential. Whereas only...

In the immediate aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting, a cascade of competing theories surfaced regarding the identity and motives of the gunman. As usual, the early speculation ranged from the absurd to the ideologically convenient, some claimed the shooter was transgender, others suggested it was a groyper1 lashing out. But one theory gained traction...

Featuring Jared Taylor. The assassination of Charlie Kirk has become a defining moment for the American Right. What began as shock and grief has erupted into a larger debate about political violence, free speech, and the future of conservatism itself. Supporters mourn while the Left openly celebrates, and government officials use the tragedy to push...

In a media blitz this week, Yulia Navalnaya (lead image) has issued a video call on journalists to investigate her fresh allegations that Alexei Navalny was poisoned to death in his Russian prison on February 16, 2024. The anti-Russian media in the NATO capitals have rallied to report the claims. So far, however, none of...

Donald Trump takes a lot of heat for being antisemitic, an allegation that he denies. After all, how could he possibly be antisemitic, when there’s such grand collusion with his bestie Bibi Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Jewish State of Israel – who stands indicted for war crimes and crimes against humanity by the...

A UN inquiry has found that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, and that Israeli authorities have “intended to kill as many Palestinians as possible” in the enclave. Israel has responded to the UN report by calling it Hamas and antisemitic, because that’s all they’ve got. The Israeli Foreign Ministry released a statement claiming the...

“History is a discussion without end,” according to Dutch historian Pieter Geyl. What he meant to say was, of course, that how we see the past at a particular moment cannot be valid and true forever and for all future generations. Like in all disciplines and science, it is always necessary to reconsider and rethink...

A provision authorizing extrajudicial murder exists within Jewish law. Din rodef — “law of the pursuer,” permits the killing of those who are deemed a threat to individual Jews or the Jewish state, without the benefit of due process. A dramatic example of this occurred on November 4, 1995, when Talmudic law student Yigal Amir...

The strike on the Hamas negotiating team assembled in Doha marks the end to an entire era – and “a new reality” for Qatar. The strike on the Hamas negotiating team assembled in Doha to discuss the ‘Witkoff Gaza proposal’ is not just another ‘IDF operation’ to be passed over silently (as with the de-capitation...

Dissociated Press Ben Shapiro, the newly-appointed Pope of the Church of Charlie Kirk, has announced that Kirk’s resurrection will take place at 1 pm Eastern time next Sunday afternoon. All churches will be closed and NFL games have been rescheduled for Saturday or Monday so Americans will not be distracted while witnessing the Charlie Kirk...

There was no need for the AWOL, Missing-In-Action Piers Morgan Media, which was never in Gaza, never stood up for Gaza, and never broke down barriers to reach and report about Palestinians sequestered in genocide. Thanks not to the MIA Media, but to Palestinian journalists, the living and the martyred, The Truth about genocide in...

U.S. cold warriors have failed to prevent Russia, China, Iran, and other members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) from obtaining their economic independence. That means keeping the fruits of their economic growth for themselves, rather than letting it be drained off by U.S. banks, investors, consumers, and the U.S. Treasury through the monetary dollar...

Everyone is trying to play the victim after Charlie Kirk’s assassination. But if you really think about it, I’m the biggest victim of this situation. I’m expected to write something meaningful about a completely meaningless tragedy and it’s basically impossible. People have complained about my commentary. It’s come across as too crass or whatever. I...

The problem that ethnic Americans face is that neither Republicans nor Democrats can represent their interest. The Republicans represent Israel’s interest. The reason for this is that Republicans tend to be more conservative, more religious, and more patriotic than Democrats and are often seen by their opponents as jingoistic. The Republican mentality toward Israel comes...

I had the pleasure of appearing on Charlie Kirk’s program a few times over the years and I always found him to be polite, respectful, and genuinely interested in ideas. Even in areas where we might not have agreed, he listened carefully. He was a strong advocate of free speech and he made a career...

US Attorney General Pam Bondi just said on a podcast that “hate speech” directed at conservatives was responsible for Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and that people responsible for such speech will be prosecuted by the Trump administration. Bondi’s comments came after the podcast’s host Katie Miller (wife of Trump henchman Stephen Miller) bizarrely suggested that Kirk’s...

Charlie Kirk’s assassination will likely serve as the crux of a new era of political violence and repression in the United States. In the days since Kirk was shot at a speaking event at Utah Valley University, right-wing groups and figures have demanded mass censorship of all critical online speech directed at Kirk. President Donald...

After Israel’s attack on a Hamas meeting in Doha, Qatar, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed regret over the incident and directed Secretary of State Marco Rubio to finalize a defense cooperation agreement with Qatar. When Qatari officials heard that news, they probably wondered, Why bother? Qatar is a Major Non-NATO Ally of the U.S. and...

I don't spend any time on social media nor do I have any interest in the mainstream conservative movement, so I'd only been very slightly aware of Charlie Kirk prior to his sudden assassination on Wednesday, shot dead at the age of 31 by a sniper while speaking at the University of Utah. I'd vaguely...
