Ranking first this last week among our articles was a long piece by Laurent Guyenot on religious matters, making the argument that Yahweh, the God of the Old Testament, should best be understood as being the Devil, the central force of evil in the world.  As might be expected, this highly controversial analysis attracted more than 400 contentious comments, totaling over 65,000 words.

Meanwhile, the ongoing Coronavirus epidemic was the subject of many of our other top featured articles, with the second and third place pieces both by Mike Whitney and focused on lockdown issues.  Ranking second was another column touting the strong apparent success of Sweden in controlling the disease without the need for a harsh governmental lockdown, while his other piece argued that America’s sweeping lockdown and the resulting collapse of our economy was probably the greatest policy disaster in our entire national history.

My own fifth-ranking column described the very strange explanation provided by Facebook for the sudden banning of all our content, in which they casually described us as “similar” to the anti-immigration website VDare, despite the fact that only about 0.2% of our articles so far this year have been republished from VDare and virtually none of our featured articles in recent months have dealt with immigration.  I argued that the much more likely explanation was the tremendous popularity of my recent article pointing to the very strong evidence that the Covid-19 outbreak was due to an American biowarfare attack against China (and Iran).

Rounding out our most popular featured articles was Michelle Malkin’s piece from two weeks ago regarding the under-reported facts of the recent racially-charged killing in Georgia and Philip Giraldi’s discussion of the extreme reluctance of the American media to report touchy matters connected with Israel or the Israel lobby.
