The Unz Review Digest - February 7, 2020
The continuing story of the Coronavirus still captured our most top spots this last week, with Godfree Roberts’ early piece getting a strong second-wind and easily retaining first place and Whitney Webb’s lengthy analysis holding second. The latter in particular noted the considerable evidence that American research labs had engaged in bioweapons development over the decades and some of the suspicions that the deadly virus outbreak might not be entirely disconnected from this terrifying possibility.
Third place was held by C.J. Hopkins discussion of the Trump reelection campaign, noting that the huge problems of the various competing Democratic candidates suggests that Trump might have an unexpectedly easily time getting reelected, with is bitter enemies beginning to hope for some other means of removing him from office.
Our fourth most popular featured article was another hold-over from the previous week, namely my own extremely lengthy analysis of the history of the Israeli Mossad, and the strong evidence that it had been heavily involved in some of the most famous attacks on American soil, namely the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks against New York City and the Pentagon, with the heated discussion thread now rapidly approaching 100,000 words.
Fifth place was held by a Vladislav Krasnov’s extended discussion of the recent controversial claims by New York Times columnist Bret Stephens regarding “Jewish Genius,” and the historical evidence of Jewish activities in Russia in this regard.
Finally, rounding out our most popular featured articles was Robert Hampton’s focus on the so-called “1619 Project” of the New York Times, claiming that the importation of black slaves represented the central fact of America’s founding, a thesis strongly rebutted by many mainstream and liberal academic historians.
Vioxx killed 500,000 Americans: a toll that could have been reduced by 90% had the FDA issued a timely warning. Pharmaceuticals, correctly and legally prescribed, kill 140,000 Americans each year, yet most people are unaware of their lethality and do not know how to a prevent being killed this way. Coronavirus deaths are few, its...

I never thought I’d hear myself say this, but I’m a little worried about Donald Trump. I’m worried he may be on the verge of a sudden, major heart attack, or a stroke, or a fatal golfing accident. Food poisoning is another possibility. Or he could overdose on prescription medication. A tanning bed mishap is...

The JFK Assassination and the 9/11 Attacks?

Most analysts ranked him second in influence...

The most revealing part of Bret Stephens’s article The Secrets of Jewish Genius carried by The New York Times on December 27, 2019 is a list of outstanding Jews who have “contributed (to the world) so seminally to so many of its most path breaking ideas and innovations”. Here they are: “Sarah Bernhardt and Franz...

Holocaust revisionism is perhaps the most institutionally reviled, criminally punished and socially persecuted field of research in modern Western history. Yet, on the much publicized 75th anniversary of the Soviet liberation of Auschwitz, the gatekeepers of the Holocaust continue to give ground, kicking and screaming along the way. The latest example is a new book...

Ron Unz, the fearless disturber of established dogma, has published a long essay connecting together some of his earlier texts under the title Mossad Assassinations. I like his natural style, his lack of pathos and drama. He does not lecture you, but shares his progress with you; what did he discover today, and how did...

Lies, damn lies and statistics Turns out that Trump and the Pentagon were lying. Again. This time about the true impact of the Iranian counter-strike on US forces in Syria. First they claimed that there were no injured U.S. personnel, only to eventually have to fess up that 34 soldiers had suffered traumatic brain injury...

Many interested parties have already weighed in on President Donald Trump’s “Deal of the Century.” Even though it sounds like a phrase that a used car dealer would use, the “Deal” is dead serious in that it effectively denies to the Palestinians in perpetuum any political entity that has attributes of genuine sovereignty. Israel, which...

A five-alarm fire has broken out in a little known, but critically important area of the financial system where high-quality bonds are swapped for cash. The "repo" market, which is short for repurchase agreements, is part of the nondeposit, shadow banking system that remains largely unregulated despite the fact that it was ground zero in...

After a great deal of delay and kvetching, Brexit is finally happening. This doesn’t mean all that much in the grand scheme of things.

In the 1990s, a couple of bestsellers brought to the knowledge of a large public the fact that JFK’s assassination in 1963 solved an intense crisis over Israel’s secret nuclear program. In one of his last letters to Kennedy, quoted by Seymour Hersh in The Samson Option (1991), Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion complained: “Mr. President,...

2019 was the year of the “frustrated-white-loser-living-at- home-with-his-mom” movie. First there was Todd Phillips’ Joker, an origin story of Batman’s most memorable nemesis, starring Joaquin Phoenix as the clown himself. Then came Clint Eastwood’s Richard Jewell, the true story of a Georgia security guard who discovered the Centennial Olympic Park bomb in 1996. Jewell alerted...

It was inevitable that the Black Reparations debate would ultimately shine a spotlight on those who profited the most from the 500-year destruction of Black civilization. The selective banning by Amazon of the Nation of Islam’s The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews book series was a clear indication of how skittish Jews have become...
