The Unz Review Digest - July 24, 2020
The chaos and disorder sweeping across many of our cities dominated this week’s most popular featured articles, capturing the three top spots.
Ranking first was former CIA Officer Philip Giraldi’s pessimistic appraisal of our national situation partly based upon the first-hand signs he has seen in his own Virginia portions of Greater DC area, with more and more affluent local suburbanites beginning to prepare for the worst, or as he puts it “There are a lot of indications that the American stratocruiser is about to crash.” These worrisome sentiments quickly attracted nearly 400 comments totaling almost 50,000 words.
Placing second was Mike Whitney’s focus on the consequences of what he regards as the Covid-19 hysteria, providing enormous cover for Wall Street firms and their allies to enact a massive financial bailout, effectively looting the US treasury while attention was focused elsewhere, while the real economy has been wrecked and the country is spinning out of control. Meanwhile, his more recent piece, holding sixth place but rising rapidly, critiques the Democrats for allowing the urban disorders to continue unabated and letting our cities burn.
Our third most popular piece was Kevin Barrett’s suggestion that much of our current situation can be understood as similar to the madness of China’s Cultural Revolution, as effectively interpreted in a novel by a Mo Yan, a Chinese Nobel Prize winner, or Doris Lessing.
Fourth place was held by a lengthy presentation of the second installment of a startling hypothesis that much of the established European chronology of the last two thousand years is entirely fake, with Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire never having existed, and the Athenian Parthenon being built by Frankish Crusaders of the thirteenth century A.D. These extremely controversial ideas quickly attracted almost 400 mostly-critical comments totaling nearly 60,000 words.
And rounding out our most popular featured articles was Andrew Joyce’s very lengthy analysis, suggesting that the organized Jewish community and many of its key leaders have been the central actors behind the suppression of freedom of speech in Europe and the West in general.

First they came for the toilet paper and kitchen towels, then they came for flour and now they are taking your coins. Yes, the American public sitting out the COVID-19 virus is now having to deal with what is referred as a "small change shortage." caused apparently by hoarding. Coffee shops and other retail outlets...

Let's assume that the events of the last five months are neither random nor unexpected. Let's say they're part of an ingenious plan to transform American democracy into a lockdown police state controlled by criminal elites and their puppet governors. And let's say the media's role is to fan the flames of mass hysteria by...

Two Not-So-New Novels Offer Imaginative Insights into Current Concerns
Is the “woke” United States, reeling from the officially-approved George Floyd riots and accompanying outbursts of iconoclasm, undergoing its own version of the Chinese Cultural Revolution? And will it lead to some form of genocide against people of European ancestry? Normally I would be the last guy at Unz Review to be asking such questions....

The Gregorian Coup and the Birthright Theft
This is the second of three articles drawing attention to major structural problems in our history of Europe in the first millennium AD. In the first article (“How fake is Roman Antiquity?”), we have argued that the forgery of ancient books during the Renaissance was more widespread than usually acknowledged, so that what we think...

In 2010, Harvard duo Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons published The Invisible Gorilla, which detailed their study of the human capacity to overlook even the most obvious things. In one of their experiments, Chabris and Simons created a video in which students wearing white and black t-shirts pass a basketball between themselves. Viewers were asked...

or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Multipolarity
INTRODUCTION As a nationalist in the west, it’s often difficult to find any reasons for optimism. A typical month may involve any combination of social media bans, deplatforming and physical threats from society’s dregs, and there is seemingly little to show for the sacrifice by way of tangible victories. I might be forgiven then, for...

A common topic around the web is whether automation will drastically increase unemployment. The usual scholarly answer is only a bit, and conservatives often insist that new jobs will always be found. Actually, automation has already created much joblessness. It continues to do so. We don’t notice because we have disguised the unemployment. Consider. In...

Nick Cannon, an actor and singer, recently unbosomed some interesting anthropological theories. Mr. Cannon also claimed blacks are “descendants from God himself,” and discussed “the idea of having to define myself as a god.” He bragged about the power of melanin. I must lack soul, or, since I’m closer to an animal, I don’t have...

In his book Memories, the first Israeli PM and pragmatic early Zionist, David Ben Gurion writes about his early years in Płońsk, Poland. Ben Gurion is very explicit when describing the balance of power between Jews and Poles in his town in the early days of the 20th century. “Far from being afraid of them,...

On June 24th, Trump said, “I think many of the people that are knocking down these statues don’t even have any idea what the statue is... Now they’re looking at Jesus Christ.” Actually, both the iconoclasts and their backers know very well what they’re destroying, and who they’re humiliating, deracinating and subjugating. Though often messy,...

The Jewish football player Julian Edelman wants to bring superstar DeSean Jackson to the Jewish Holocaust Museum, the one just across from the Department of the Treasury in Washington, DC, where America’s money is printed. Jackson enraged the Jews, who are forever trying to avoid standing up for racial justice in America. They have become...

Early yesterday morning I received a worried note from one of our regular columnists saying our website no longer came up in any Google search results. Google and Facebook are the top gatekeepers to the global Internet, and in early May they had both purged us, with Facebook blocking our content and Google de-ranking all...

Einstein, Bell & Edison, Coca-Cola and the Wright Brothers
There are only two nations in the world whose existence seems to be founded primarily on historical myths. In the US, false historical mythology permeates every nook and cranny of the American psyche, the result of more than 100 years of astonishing and unconscionable programming and propaganda, a massive crime against an entire population. This...

So, how are you enjoying the “New Normal” so far? Is it paranoid and totalitarian enough for you? If not … well, hold on, because it’s just getting started. There is plenty more totalitarianism and paranoia still to come. I know, it feels like forever already, but, in fact, it has only been a few...

They’re unwilling to defend true dissidents, but Beltway lite libertarians and Con Inkers are forever genuflecting to privileged legacy journalists, who can afford to voluntarily leave their rich gigs in “protest” of cancel culture. The Right hasn’t shut up about the New Yorker’s Andrew Sullivan, who is far less banal than the New York Times’...

As the combined impact of the corona virus and the wholesale destruction of America’s history and culture, or at least the part of it that is white, continues, it is nice to see that other nations are getting into the game that will lead to the de facto elimination of western civilization. No one is...

I’ve been speaking with my friends who include medical doctors and other highly educated people about the treatments that they would seek if they were diagnosed with Covid 19. Most of them had no idea what course of treatment they or their families might seek. This conundrum is in part due to the massive volume...

Our website traffic easily broke all records for the month of June, and these high levels have now continued into July, suggesting that the huge rise produced by the initial wave of Black Lives Matters protests may be more than temporary. It appears that many new readers first discovered our alternative webzine at that point,...

Due to the lack of official ethnic statistics in France, it’s quite difficult to precisely gauge demographic developments. Among newborns, our best proxy up to now has been the testing for sickle-cell disease, a procedure largely limited to populations susceptible to this illness, that is to say those from the Middle East, Africa, India, and...
