THE UNZ REVIEW - An Alternative Media Selection

Who would have imagined five years ago when we were seeing Greta Thunberg amplified by every mainstream western liberal institution that we would one day hear reports that she has been captured and tormented by the Israeli military for trying to bring formula to starving babies? The Guardian reports the following: “In an email sent...

Sir Mark Rowley claims he is worried about rising ‘community tensions’. But the only tensions he cares about are those belonging to an imaginary community he has created of a Jewish hive mind Once again, the BBC laps up outright disinformation from Sir Mark Rowley, police commissioner of the institutionally racist and corrupt Met. Watch...

Beijing put dozens of new high-tech weapons such as hypersonic missiles and unmanned stealth jets on display during the September 3 military parade. The stock response from western media has been who knows whether they work or not. On the one hand, it’s understandable that questions are raised about the effectiveness of weapons that have...

The Federal Reserve’s independence is currently being challenged by political forces seeking to reshape its mandate. The Fed has not always been independent of Congress and the Treasury. Its independence was formalized only in 1951, with a Treasury-Federal Reserve Accord that was not a law but a policy agreement redefining the relationship of the parties....

Politics: source: @VanceUlrich on X The conservative stereotype of California’s wealthy as all being limousine liberals or champagne socialists is inaccurate. However, there is a major divide between moderate and leftwing, as well as some conservative factions of California’s upper class. For instance, in LA County’s DA race, a lot of the more affluent areas...

I was scheduled to give a talk at the National Press Club of Australia on October 20 called “The Betrayal of Palestinian Journalists.” It was to focus on the amplification of Israeli lies in the press, which most reporters know are lies, betraying Palestinian colleagues who are slandered, targeted and killed by Israel. But, perhaps...

On June 30, 2021, during his Direct Line programme, President Vladimir Putin was asked what games he liked to play during his schooldays. “I am tempted to say chess,” he replied, “but, unfortunately, it was not chess.” Four years have gone by until his appearance yesterday at the Valdai Club, when the president was asked...

One of the final videos that activist Greg Stoker sent out from the Global Sumud Flotilla before being abducted was this awesome clip where he’s having a cigarette while the IDF sprays the boats with skunk water, and I just had to paint it.

Leaders of European countries with limited military ability are openly declaring their preparation for war with Russia. The Baltic states, Poland, Netherlands, France, Germany, and the UK speak if they look forward to a war that would utterly destroy them. It is a mystery as Russia poses no threat to them and wants nothing from...

Cornell University, once a place of discussion and learning, is seeking to remove a tenured Jewish professor, Eric Cheyfitz, who permits Israel to be discussed instead of simply praised. The professor’s daughter and granddaughter live in Israel. But this doesn’t save him from being charged with discrimination against a Jewish graduate student. The professor’s trouble...

“Everything louder than everything else.” That was the artistic ideal of the tinnitus-inducing rock band Deep Purple. It has the brain-bewildering pseudo-semantics of a Zen koan, so it’s appropriate that it was said in Japan by the guitar great Ritchie Blackmore. He was joking back in the 1970s, but there’s no joke in the 2020s...

Freedom needs no justification. It is an end unto itself. You are deficient in American solidarity if you don’t stand up for non-violent protest and all speech Let us be clear about what freedom of speech à la America truly means: The words people speak, chant, write and tweet; the beliefs they are known to...

Dying regimes do funny things. Dying superpowers plan for a future that never comes. I have a 1992 Soviet ruble note, redesigned the year before. Considering that the USSR closed shop in 1991, they probably should have focused on something more pressing than their next five-year plan. Dying dictatorships bluff and bluster. Despite the obvious...

British police report that one of the two fatalities in the Manchester synagogue attack was caused by gunfire from police. One of the reported injuries was also the result of a stray police bullet. So he killed one person. The Manchester synagogue attacker killed one single person and the entire western world stopped in its...

Political campaign contributions, not voters, elect the president and members of the Senate and House. Consequently, elected representatives represent the private interests that fund their campaigns. Democracy serves as a cloak, a guise, that hides the fact that the government belongs to the private lobbies that purchased it. In every election the emphasis is on...

Some people claim that all reality is just a simulation. If so, one must question the writers who named the murderer who attacked a synagogue in Manchester on Yom Kippur “Jihad al-Shamie,” or “holy warrior from Syria.” The jihadist from (you guessed it) Syria was a “British national” who immigrated to Britain and was given...

Two people were reportedly murdered on Thursday while attending a Manchester synagogue in what the British government has labeled a terrorist incident. Four others were seriously injured. Police say they shot and killed the suspect, a British citizen of Syrian descent. After the attack an Arab-Israeli hasbarist named Jonathan Elkhoury jumped on Twitter to tell...

The Israel Lobby Wants Thomas Massie Gone. Will American Voters Obey their Israeli Masters? “Pro-Israel Republican megadonors recently set up the MAGA Kentucky super PAC with $2 million specifically to oust Massie. Paul Singer contributed $1 million, John Paulson added $250,000, and Miriam Adelson’s Preserve America PAC provided $750,000. The Republican Jewish Coalition has promised...

Putin can live with Trump’s ‘Janus schizophrenia’ – as Russian forces advance on all key battle fronts. The second stage to Trump’s ‘hand-off’ of the Ukraine war to the Europeans was clearly set out in his Truth Social post of 23 September. In the first phase of the hand-over, Trump withdrew from being the primary...
