Last week I published a long article that noted the astonishing acquiescence of America and the rest of the West in Israel's unprecedented slaughter and starvation of Gaza's civilians. In a related development, Elon Musk, one of the world's wealthiest and most influential figures, humbled himself for making a few mild, casually critical remarks regarding... Read More

The Case of Germany and Israel
Many years ago, another time and place, I had a German friend who hailed from Hamburg. Christophe was a cultivated sort—well-read, impressive art on the walls of his apartment. I remember how inordinately fond he was of his collection of those elegant, sought-after pipes made by Peterson of Dublin. It was a year or so... Read More
That's a non-starter.
“Israel”—an 8,500 square mile insane asylum, populated by the sorriest collection of pathologically-lying uber-racist child-murder-loving lunatics ever to disgrace the human species—continues its ongoing slaughter in Gaza. The World Court provisionally agrees with South Africa that the Zionists are committing genocide. Almost every nation on Earth condemns that genocide and supports an immediate ceasefire. There...

Although unknown to almost all present-day Americans, Emperor Henry IV was one of the most powerful European monarchs of his day. Under his twenty year reign, the Holy Roman Empire of the High Middle Ages governed Germany, the Low Countries, much of Italy, and other important lands, with many considering him heir to the fabled...

Although his name has been almost totally forgotten for more than two generations, during the early 1950s Prof. John Beaty was a figure of some prominence, at least within conservative circles. A West Virginian born in 1890, Beaty earned his B.A. and M.A. at the University of Virginia, then completed his doctorate in Philosophy at... Read More

Last month I explored the historical origins of the State of Israel and the intertwined expulsion of the Palestinian refugees from their ancient homeland. During this discussion, I emphasized the crucial role that the Jewish Holocaust had played in justifying and facilitating those momentous events of three generations ago. American Pravda: The Nakba and the... Read More
Never Again and Again and Again – by Mr. Fish
Israel’s lebensraum master plan for Gaza, borrowed from the Nazi’s depopulation of Jewish ghettos, is clear. Destroy infrastructure, medical facilities and sanitation, including access to clean water. Block shipments of food and fuel. Unleash indiscriminate industrial violence to kill and wound hundreds a day. Let starvation — the U.N. estimates that more than half a... Read More

David L. Hoggan’s The Forced War
David Hoggan (1923-1988) was an American historian who received his doctorate from Harvard University in 1948 with a dissertation on The Breakdown of German-Polish Relations in 1939. The influential and well-respected historian Harry Elmer Barnes was so impressed with it that he encouraged Hoggan to expand it into the book currently under review.It first appeared... Read More
Many people are familiar with the argument in favor of the Border Wall that invokes the national security needs of Israel. Whenever the Anti-Wall activists(who happen to be disproportionately Jewish) decry the calls for heightened border security as unrealistic, ineffectual, and/or immoral, the Pro-Wall advocates point to Israel and its mostly effective system of walls....

Eliminating the Entire Palestinian People
Two weeks ago the Sunday New York Times Magazine published a long cover-story on thirty years of failed Middle East peace efforts between Israelis and Palestinians, a tragedy that resulted in the enormous bloodshed and destruction of the last couple of months. The discussion featured three Israeli and three Palestinian academics, moderated by staff writer... Read More

At Saturday’s great march in support of Palestine in London, police arrested members of the Communist Party of Great Britain Marxist-Leninist (CPGBML) for having a pamphlet on sale on their stall. The “illegal” pamphlet is entitled Zionism: A Racist, Anti-Semitic and Reactionary Tool of Imperialism. Just what is illegal about it, I do not know.... Read More

Perhaps more out of habit than anything else, I still read the print edition of the New York Times every morning, something I've done for well over forty years, though given its sharp decline in quality that may not long continue.

Washington DC — (Scheerpost) — During the siege in Sarajevo, when I was reporting for The New York Times, we never endured the level of saturation bombing and near total blockage of food, water, fuel and medicine that Israel has imposed on Gaza. We never endured hundreds of dead and wounded a day. We never... Read More
Dave has always been on this Jew issue. You remember when he defended Kanye on Saturday Night Live? The guy gets it.

Tangents Lead to Taboo Truths #7
I’ve been deeply immersed in an excellent history book, Stalin’s War by Sean McMeekin, 2021. It is at least partially revisionist, and not overtly anti-Hitler and does not often engage in reduction ad Hitlerium (reducing everything to the evil of Hitler, including Hitler himself). It does still believe in the holocaust, a glaring error that... Read More

There is hardly any other historical topic, about which as much information and disinformation can be found as about the Holocaust. The topic is huge, as it occurred in thousands of individual events across an entire continent, and lasted almost four years – from mid-1941 to May 1945. Accordingly, scholars specializing in the field have... Read More
Nobel laureates Michelson, Einstein, and Millikan.
Nobel Laureate in physics Robert A. Millikan (1868-1953) was the second American to win the Nobel Prize in physics. At the peak of his influence, no scientist save Einstein was more admired by the American public. Millikan’s greatest scientific achievement was the isolation the electron and the measurement of its charge. Millikan was awarded a... Read More

In particular, the alleged diary was not “largely written” in ballpoint pen, it was “largely edited” in ballpoint pen, with notes and additions added in ballpoint pen. The ballpoint thing is a bit...

An Introduction
I am hardly the most likely person to pen an article for the Unz Review. As a PhD student in history, I seek a career in academia, and run a modest history account on social media entitled History Speaks. My politics are mainstream, as are my views on the Nazi Holocaust. But while I recognize... Read More

This essay in print in the May/June 2023 Barnes Review Unbeknownst to many Americans then and now, World War II was essentially a conflict between the forces of Communism versus Nationalism and particularly ethno-Nationalism, for the power to determine the future fate of world history. Since the forces of Communism were embodied not just in... Read More

My father Walter “was at Pearl Harbor.” Almost everyone in Youngstown, Ohio, back in 1941 soon knew about that.

Instead, he enlisted in the Navy and forwarded the better part of his pay to... Read More

National Socialism as a political, social, cultural, racial and spiritual ideology began to be applied in Germany in the early 1920s. It came to leadership of that nation first with the appointment of Adolf Hitler to Chancellor on January 30, 1933, but more fully after the German parliament the Reichstag’s vote of 82% for the...

During 1940 the determined efforts of President Franklin Roosevelt to involve America in the war against Hitler's Germany were blocked by the overwhelming opposition of the American people, running at 80% according to some polls. A group of young Yale Law School peace activists had launched the America First Committee and it quickly attracted 800,000... Read More
Whenever an article appears in the mainstream media dealing with Croatia or Germany in World War II, the reader must be prepared for a deluge of surreal stories about the past Fascist epoch in general. Even Virgil’s Aeneid or Homer’s Odysseus visit to Hades pales in comparison with netherworld tales of modern court historians. Croatia... Read More
A Harbinger of Things to Come?
I will be writing this story mostly as an ignorant Occidental. I freely admit there are important nuances of the following events and characters which remain beyond my grasp. After all, the majority of the source material is in Japanese. Regardless, I found this story so riveting, and the pause it gave me so contemplative,... Read More
Just a few days ago, marking the 78th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres ordered his Japanese Under-Secretary General Izumi Nakamitsu to read a statement in his name. Curiously, no mention is made of of the perpetrator, the US. Nor was the US mentioned in Japan during the commemoration of... Read More

Mike Whitney Interview with Ron Unz
In the West, we're taught that Hitler is the embodiment of all evil, but it's more complicated than that, isn't it? The more I read about Hitler, the more convinced I am that his views about the Versailles Treaty were fairly commonplace among Germans living at the time. It seems to me that if Hitler... Read More

World War II ranks as the greatest military conflict in human history and became the shaping event of our modern world, with the account told in many tens of thousands of books. But over the last five years I've published a long series of articles providing elements of the story that are sharply---sometimes even shockingly---at... Read More

Let's start with Hitler. In the West it is universally accepted that: Hitler started WW2 Hitler's invasion of Poland was the first step in a broader campaign aimed at world domination Is this interpretation of WW2 true or false? And, if it is false, then---in your opinion---what was Hitler trying to achieve in Poland and... Read More
Observing Memorial Day 2023, like millions of other Americans I recall the sacrifices of those who selflessly gave their lives in far off places like Guadalcanal or the Hurtgen Forest or Anzio beach. Some remain in neatly kept cemeteries in France or other countries. In many cases, those men did not understand fully “why” they... Read More

A Review of Paul Craig Roberts' New Book, "Empire Of Lies"
What makes Paul Craig Roberts' writing so powerful, is his ability to cut through false narratives and identify the elite agendas that are shaping events. This is the work of a truth-teller which is the designation that is typically applied to Roberts. The term refers to a person of deep moral convictions who devotes his... Read More

How Artificial Intelligence destroyed the Holocaust
The world’s smartest Jew recently gave a talk on the dangers that artificial intelligence posed for the future of humanity. Yuval Noah Harari claims the fear films like Terminator and The Matrix inspired is misplaced. To pose a danger to mankind, it is unnecessary for AI to become “sentient and develop consciousness,” feel and emote... Read More

When you write a polemic, one meant to justify victory in a war, it would be best to deliver checkmate—that is, irrefutable proof that the correct side had won and that lives had not been sacrificed in vain.

Don't Deny the Horrors of World War II but Correct the Falsehoods and Provide the Contexts
Ironic as it may seem, the above-mentioned Texas proposal might as well be a manna-from-heaven to Jewish Power because the discussion could easily be construed as a matter of "Holocaust Did Happen" vs "Holocaust Didn't Happen", with hardly any light in between.

Today we often hear of persons becoming “red-pilled” while others remain “blue pilled.” The expressions originally sprang from the widely popular science fiction action film “The Matrix” (1999) starring Keanu Reeves as “Neo” and Laurence Fishburne as “Morpheus.” The movie, according to Wikipedia, “depicts a dystopian future in which humanity is unknowingly trapped inside the...
