THE UNZ REVIEW - An Alternative Media Selection

Kevin DeAnna, American Renaissance, October 15, 2025 Featuring Paul Kersey. Columbus Day is the front line in a deeper battle over who built America and who it belongs to. As President Trump revives the holiday, Kevin shows how attacks on Columbus are really about delegitimizing the European foundation of the United States. He argues that...

Rumble link Bitchute link Rasheed Muhammad of the Redpill Diaries interviewed me last night about Trump, Gaza, the decline of US empire, and more. The conversation begins: Rasheed Muhammad: Let’s jump right into it, Professor. I hear a lot of people talking about Trump, and some people think I jump on Trump, but I’ve been...

Victor Davis Hanson is a military historian and classicist, best known for works such as A War Like No Other: How the Athenians and Spartans Fought the Peloponnesian War, Carnage and Culture: Landmark Battles in the Rise to Western Power, and Who Killed Homer: The Demise of Classical Education and the Recovery of Greek Wisdom....

“Minister President Quisling addresses the nation.” “Men and women of Norway, a few days ago, the world received the news that Adolf Hitler, the Führer and Chancellor of the German Reich, had died, as befitting a hero, at his command post in Berlin during his heroic effort to prevent the Bolshevik destruction of his country...

In the 20th century, the difference between Republicans and Democrats was between a party that wants citizens rewarded on merit and a party that wants citizens rewarded based on needs. It was Democrats who gave the needy property rights, sometimes called entitlements, via taxation, rent control, and other redistributive methods in the incomes of taxpayers....

The BBC international editor is required to report what Hamas actually thinks. Otherwise he is not a journalist, he’s just another western propagandist Yet again the BBC’s Jeremy Bowen is misrepresenting a key issue in Gaza – and as always, he is doing so in a way that places Israel in the most flattering light...

I don’t know who first coined the saying that an Israeli ceasefire means “you cease and we fire,” but it proves reliably accurate time after time. The IDF reportedly killed nine Palestinians trying to return to their homes today under the usual justification that they were traveling in some kind of unauthorized area in ways...

Brilliant Eurasian cultures converged, interacted and spread their wings on the Ancient Silk Roads. DUNHUANG – Across History, the Silk Road – actually a network of roads – is the supreme Highway Star: the most important connectivity corridor ever, rolling across Ancient Eurasia, linking what Chinese scholars consensually define as the main civilization systems in...

Headline in the Sunday editions of The New York Times: “A New Test for Israel: Can It Repair Its Ties to Americans?” What a question. Let us set aside our indignation and think about this. The piece below this head is by David Halbfinger, whose trade over the years has been to appear balanced when...

Ron Unz tells us the consequence of Trump’s Diplomacy by Threat Read the entire article here: The Chinese have “suddenly imposed an unprecedented new wave of licensing requirements on the import and use of the rare earths that they mine and refine, as well as the vital small magnets produced from those compounds. These extremely...

From a rational point of view, the two tragedies that will be discussed here obviously have nothing to do with each other: that of James Forrestal, who went to his death out of a window, and that of the aircraft carrier that bears his name, the greatest disaster of the US Navy during the Vietnam...

These days the Wall Street Journal probably ranks as America's most influential and credible print outlet, so Friday morning's front-page story describing a sudden new escalation in our episodic trade war with China caught my attention. As emphasized in the first several paragraphs, the Chinese had suddenly imposed an unprecedented new wave of licensing requirements...

Taki Theodoracopulos knows his history. African tribes conducted slave wars on one another prior to the discovery of the Americas. The conquering of others and enslaving them released the warriors of the successful tribe from ordinary work, thereby permitting them to concentrate full time on their fighting ability. Surplus slaves were sold for revenues to...

It’s bizarre how little mainstream attention is given to the fact that the president of the United States has repeatedly confessed to being bought and owned by the world’s richest Israeli, especially given how intensely fixated his political opposition was on the possibility that he was compromised by a foreign government during his first term....

A handful of cheap drones now dictate billion-euro budgets and summit agendas. Europe’s hysteria over the skies says less about Moscow’s power than about its own loss of composure. A strange hysteria has seized Europe. It is not about tanks on the border or missiles over cities but about drones: small, unverified, often harmless drones....

As if following a pre-ordained script, the US China trade and tech war escalated to a peak last week when China launched a range of hard-hitting counter measures against the US in retaliation for its provocations, including severe restrictions on rare earth products. Predictably, Trump went into a blind rage and raised import tariff of...

The West gave Putin two options of how he could conduct the war he was forced into: (1) If Putin quickly subdued Russia’s foe, it would be a sign that Europe was next and opposition to Russia would rise. (2) On the other hand, if Putin fought for very limited aims, it would allow the...

I’ve seen a lot of empire loyalists going “Why aren’t the Free Palestine people cheering about the ceasefire?” If you saw a man beating a child into a coma, would you cheer after the beating stopped? No, your first reaction would be horror at what happened and your second would be fear that he’ll attack...

Dissociated Press Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu overheatedly denied his country’s involvement in the October 11 “automobile accident” that killed the three antisemitic Hamas-loving Qatari diplomats who convinced US president Trump to abandon his Israeli ally. Looking harried and unshaven while speaking with a notable tremor, Netanyahu practically broke down crying while calling social media...

Continued U.S. ‘dominance’ requires striking out in multiple directions, because the unidirectional war on Russia unexpectedly has failed. Trump: “This problem with Vietnam … We stopped fighting to win. We would have won easy. We would have won Afghanistan easy. Would have won every war easy. But we got politically correct: ‘Ah, let’s take it...
