Ranking first by a wide margin was the Saker’s discussion of the total political insanity of the Western media and political elites, as demonstrated in the endless, contrived hostility towards Russia.  The alleged poisoning of Russian activist Alexei Navalny by Novichok is the latest example of this, totally implausible in all its details and theory, yet apparently likely to further seriously damage Russian relations with the EU and perhaps torpedo the Nordstream II pipeline.  Provocative American military maneuvers in the Black Sea and threats of further sanctions against Russia over the political unrest in Belarus are continuing to raise the risk of actual military conflict.

Second place was held by John Derbyshire’s lament at the ideological corruption now enveloping fine old Scientific American, with the science now having been replaced with political correctness and other fashionable nonsense.

Ranking third was Israel Shamir’s strongly favorable take on Trump’s nomination of Amy Barrett to fill the Supreme Court slot opened by the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, which he regarded as a crucial development given America’s political devolution under Jewish influence into a bizarre political system amounting to run by unelected judges.

Fourth place was held by Mike Whitney’s view that the massive economic and social devastation inflicted upon America and many other Western countries by the Covid-19 outbreak has an ulterior motive aimed at the destruction of traditional freedoms, with elite figures such as Bill Gates and Henry Kissinger likely being the prime movers behind this plan.

Our fifth most popular article described the jailing of French writer and activist Hervé Ryssen on grounds that he had repeatedly criticized Jewish misbehavior, a remarkable development in a country allegedly wedded to the notions of free speech advocated by Voltaire and a worrisome sign of what may lie ahead in much of the rest of the West and also America.

Finally, rounding out our most popular articles was Gregory Hood’s analysis of the first Presidential debate and the repeated accusations levied against Trump by both his Democratic rival and the moderator that he had refused to condemn “White Supremacy,” a bizarre charge but one in line with the massive Black Lives Matter upheavals and other programs of political-correctness that have recently amounted to an American Cultural Revolution.
