THE UNZ REVIEW - An Alternative Media Selection

Israel apologists are probably going to make a much, much bigger deal about the second October 7 anniversary than they did about the first anniversary, because they kind of have to. The world is turning against Israel in unprecedented ways in 2025, and yelling about October 7 is all they’ve got left. They’ve already got...

The single dumbest conspiracy theory in the entire world is that every major humanitarian institution on earth is conspiring to falsely frame Israel for the crime of genocide. And yet believing this bat shit insane conspiracy theory is the only way to think it’s not a genocide. There is no other way to claim that...

The Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962 was a wake-up call for President John F. Kennedy and his Soviet counterpart, Nikita Khrushchev, General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Both leaders realized that the military competition between the two nuclear powers could end in the annihilation of both countries. The table was...

Jared Taylor recently declared that Charlie Kirk was on his path to greatness. We would concede that point to a large degree, though for different reasons. Taylor believed this greatness lay in Kirk’s defense of white identity. We contend, however, that Kirk was on his way to becoming someone who would stand up for the...

When Israel bombed Doha, the U.S. remained passive. Saudi Arabia took note—and turned to Pakistan. Their defence pact, nuclear umbrella included, is a blunt message: America’s shield no longer guarantees survival in the Gulf. A post-American order is emerging, and Riyadh has chosen its side. The Middle East and South Asia are once again at...

In my first column after the events of Jan. 6th, 2021, I criticized those who called the protest a “coup,” pointing out that, “Some of the same politicians and bureaucrats denouncing the ridiculous farce at the Capitol as if it were the equivalent of 9/11 have been involved for decades in planning and executing real...

Rumble Link Bitchute Link Laurent Guyénot, author of From Yahweh to Zion, has quickly backed away from “weird” theories about Charlie Kirk faking his own death or being killed by an exploding microphone. Upon further reflection, and in light of Chris Martenson’s strong forensic analysis, Guyénot says he recognizes that seemingly odd aspects of the...

The propaganda war to make pinprick drone attacks on Russian oil refineries and oil storage terminals appear to be destroying the Russian economy, and Ukrainian forces winning the war, came to its climax last week, on September 23, when an announcement was issued in President Donald Trump’s name. “When the people living in Moscow,” the...

A week ago on September 23, President Donald Trump called President Vladimir Putin’s military power a “paper tiger”, and declared ”this is the time for Ukraine to act”. By that he said he meant “to take back their Country in its original form and, who knows, maybe even go further than that!” Five days later,...

The knives are out for Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), and his political survival could prove whether Congress still answers to American voters or to a foreign lobby with limitless cash. 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...

Authoritarianism continues to surge under the western empire. Ken Klippenstein has drawn attention to the fact that President Trump has signed a national security directive which expands federal power to “disrupt” individuals or groups which “foment political violence,” including “before they result in violent political acts.” The president’s memorandum states that such groups can be...

US preparing options for strikes inside Venezuela The attacks could happen “in a matter of weeks” The excuse is strikes inside Venezuela on alleged drug traffickers. This is a hoax like the “Muslim Terrorist Threat” that was Washington’s excuse for its wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and the attack on Iran’s nuclear...

The latest explanation is that Kirk’s Israeli Security Team attached one of Israel’s explosive cavalier microphones to Kirk’s shirt. The man in the palm gun video is actually sending a signal to detonate the microphone, not firing a palm gun. All of the theories have problems. This theory has entrance and exit wounds. But the...

It turns out that the FBI had about as many agents at the January 6 alleged “insurrection” at the Capitol as there were protesters of the stolen election–274. Videos of the event clearly show that there were agitators in the crowd trying to foment violence. The agitators were clearly trying to create a situation that...

An illegal alien from Guyana has been serving as the Superintendent of the largest school district in Iowa at a salary and benefits of $305,917 yearly. He has been arrested by ICE and faces a deportation order. Democrats are rallying to the illegal’s cause. As far as I know he was doing a good job....

Race has been discussed to the point of weariness, yet most discussion consists of little more than wishful thinking, contradiction, and outright malice: “All the races are equal, but whites oppress everyone else. Then again, race doesn’t really exist, which is why we must strive for greater racial diversity.” It is understandable that many people...

Rumble link Bitchute link False Flag Weekly News link Trump is some kind of clown. On that much all serious people can agree. But is he a benign clown or an evil clown? Compared to the cartoonishly evil Benjamin “you were supposed to laugh” Netanyahu, Trump seems relatively harmless. His fans appreciate Orangeman’s efforts to...

The areas that I visited on my first and fairly short trip to New York City in June, included Bushwick in Brooklyn, where I stayed, the Lower East Side, the East Village, Greenwich Village/Washington Square, Midtown including Time Square and Rockefeller Center, and the southern end of Central Park along Billionaire's Row. The first thing...

Ben Gurion, the founding Israeli prime minister, pronounced a future Pax Judaica in 1962, “all armies will be abolished, and there will be no more wars. In Jerusalem, the United Nations (a truly United Nations) will build a Shrine of the Prophets to serve the federated union of all continents, this will be the seat...

Leftists love lying. That’s one of the great political truths of our time. Ironically enough, it means you can often and easily extract the truth from leftist statements. Simply invert them. What leftists call “bad” must be good. What leftists call “false” must be true. And vice versa. But sometimes you have to be subtler...
