Holding first place for a remarkable third week in a row was Mike Whitney’s harshly critical article on Israel’s world-beating vaccination campaign, now establishing itself as one of our most popular articles of the last twelve months.  Both Israel and vaccination efforts are very hot topics, and the combination of the two has blazed with considerable intensity, with the piece noting the very serious continuing public health problems that seem to dogged the roll-out of the vaccine, arguing that the supposed cure may actually increase the danger of the disease.

Hold a very close second place is Israel Shamir’s article, focused somewhat on those same topics, but mostly on the bitter reaction to the harsh statements by President Joe Biden that Russian President Vladimir Putin is “a killer” and “has no soul,” immediately followed by an angry stand-off between top-level American and Chinese negotiators.  These same themes were also taken up in the fifth and sixth most popular articles, by Gregory Hood and Pepe Escobar respectively, focused on the growing geopolitical conflict between America and a Russian/Chinese coalition.

Meanwhile, ranking third was John Derbyshire’s discussion of the Atlanta massage parlor shootings, in which a young white killed six individuals, four of them Asians, leading to widespread media implications that the crime was racially-motivated.  Instead, the piece notes that although over the last few months America has seen a large wave of random violent attacks against Asians, very few of these have been by whites and instead the overwhelming majority have been committed by blacks, facts that the media has done its best to ignore or hide.  So the very unusual nature of the current shooting is now being used to put a white face on an almost entirely non-white phenomenon.

Finally, our fourth most popular column by Eric Striker, noted that an astonishing fraction of our top university presidents, including those of the Ivy League, are Jewish, and his massive over-representation has been completely ignored both by the liberal media and its mainstream-conservative counterpart, even as the universities in question endlessly promote “ethnic diversity” as one of the greatest core-missions.
