THE UNZ REVIEW - An Alternative Media Selection

“Hacks” costar Hannah Einbinder said “Free Palestine” during her acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actress at the Emmys on Sunday. Questioned by the press afterward, Einbinder said she has friends in Gaza, adding, “I feel like it is my obligation as a Jewish person to distinguish Jews from the state of Israel, because our religion...

Recently I was enjoying a draft beer with a friend. Charlie Kirk’s assassination became a topic of discussion. We wondered if Kirk’s assassination would have an awakening effect. My friend thought that the Yellowstone episodes showed an awakening and that Kirk’s assassination would broaden it. Yellowstone was a long series and highly popular. I have...

When the Germans rolled through Russian defences in the Operation Barbarossa invasion of June 1940, the Soviet commander-in-chief Joseph Stalin ordered the executions of dozens of western army unit and air force commanders. Stalin’s reasons at the time were his suspicion of their treason; a demonstration effect throughout the armed forces; and a cover-up of...

Rumble link Bitchute link False Flag Weekly News link Benzion Mileikowsky—the notorious Polish mass murderer who operates under the alias “Benjamin Netanyahu”—did not shoot Charlie Kirk. That’s an AI image. I created it using Grok a few days before Kirk was shot. It was meant to illustrate the FFWN theme: “Israel attacks everybody.” Though he...

Political assassinations in the US have been a feature of the system since JFK. The targets of such violence are typically people of significance like RFK, MLK, Ron Reagan and Trump. The killing of Charlie Kirk is unusual in the sense that there has been a media firestorm for someone who didn’t hold any office...

It’s probably worth flagging the fact that the president of the United States is promoting the establishment of a Ministry of Truth to restrict information in a suggested law called the “Charlie Kirk Act”. President Trump’s Truth Social account posted a viral video from TikTok on Saturday in which a Trump voter named Elly May...

The EU increasingly embraces its role as a “regulatory superpower,” exporting rules where it struggles to compete in innovation and economic dynamism. Yet regulation without competitiveness or moral authority risks exposing Europe’s decline—economically overshadowed, geopolitically dependent, and morally discredited by Gaza. In recent years, European policymakers and commentators have increasingly adopted the term “regulatory superpower”...

When Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, a top Israeli cybersecurity official, was arrested last month in Las Vegas for allegedly attempting to have sex with an undercover officer posing as a minor, few anticipated the diplomatic and political firestorm his swift release would ignite. Alexandrovich, the Executive Director for Defense at Israel’s National Cyber Directorate, was initially...

Albert Einstein is one of the most famous and influential scientists of all time. His theories and equations regarding time, energy, space, and gravity are foundational to modern physics. Less well known, Einstein was very political, with strong beliefs and a willingness to act on them. The book "Einstein on Israel and Zionism" documents what...

The McDonald’s flag at Guantanamo Bay was lowered to half-mast in honor of the GOP swamp creature who was assassinated by a sniper the day before 9/11, which I think we can all agree is the most American thing that has ever happened. They’re saying they caught the guy who did it. Some 22 year-old...

WARNING TO READERS:

Greg Johnson, Is America Doomed?, Counter-Currents Publishing, 2025, pp.230. Donald Trump’s second term as president has sparked a wave of optimism within the Dissident Right. This surge is recent; many people had given up on the United States as a place where white people could have a future. In Is America Doomed?, Dr. Greg Johnson...

By now we have all heard about the shocking and tragic assassination of conservative pundit Charlie Kirk. For me it was a devastating turn of events simply because Charlie Kirk was part of the American Right—if not a brother, then a close cousin. I really felt the loss. Yes, he was mainstream. Yes, he was...

The assassination of Charlie Kirk presages a new, deadly stage in the disintegration of a fractious and highly polarized United States. While toxic rhetoric and threats are lobbed across cultural divides like hand grenades, sometimes spilling over into actual violence — including the murder of Minnesota House of Representatives Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her...

In just a couple of days, an impressive amount of information has been brought to light pointing to Israel’s strong motive to take out Charlie Kirk ASAP. I will here compile that information, as I found it on X and other Internet outlets. In doing so, I am not influenced by my personal opinion on...

America will never be the same. Charlie Kirk was more than a political figure — he was a husband, a father, and a man who built something extraordinary on America’s campuses. He carried himself with sincerity and courage, choosing real debate over cheap theatrics and giving a voice to students who longed for something beyond...

Charlie Kirk was not killed by a kook in the audience . It was an organized assassination. The rifleman was on a roof, which indicates planning and forethought. The rifleman was an expert. One shot did the job. The rifleman disappeared, which indicates planning. Kirk’s murder has the mark of a professional planned assassination. Why...

"I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it," Voltaire said. But not really. Stephen G. Tallentyre wrote it in his 1906 book about Voltaire, as a paraphrase of his attitude toward free speech. Actually, that's not true either: "Tallentyre" was a pseudonym. "He" was really...

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the very same people who now tweet “Nothing ever happens” in response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, will be tweeting that they always knew there’d be a civil war if one actually does break out. As the cliché has it, nothing ever happens . . . until...

It was Wednesday, the eve of the 9/11 anniversary. I was brushing up on my Spanish by watching a few minutes of TV news in a hotel lobby in Malaga when the story broke: Charlie Kirk had been shot. Though I have never been especially interested in Charlie Kirk—he always struck me as one of...
