The Unz Review Digest - November 8, 2019
Our most popular featured article this last week was Lance Welton’s piece arguing that the great influx of women has been destroying the leading academic institutions of the West, replacing vigorous and objective analytical debate with a focus on emotions and feelings, a thesis that provoked over 350 contentious comments, totaling more nearly 40,000 words.
Ranking second after just a couple of days and likely to soon reach the top spot was Anatoly Karlin’s presentation of a long list of very surprising demographic facts, drawn both from modern times and the history of the last couple of thousand years, most of them illustrated in a series of striking charts and graphs. With demography being so central to the future of the world, these matters should receive much more attention than they do.
Third place was held by James Kirkpatrick’s review of a recent book by a mainstream conservative, suggesting the restoration of the old, powerful forces of nationalism are likely to take place in our society.
Our fourth most popular featured article was John Derbyshire’s further discussion of the conclusions he drew from his recent extended visit to China, his first in nearly two decades, with the comparison of China’s rise and America’s decline being highly visible.
Ranking fifth was Philip Giraldi’s discussion of the overwhelming domination of our political system by the forces of the pro-Israel lobby, which have left ordinary Americans feeling more and more like Palestinians in their own country.
And rounding out our most popular features was Alan Macleod’s account of the shocking arrest and imprisonment of journalist Max Blumenthal at the hands of a heavily armed police squad, apparently in retaliation for his critical reporting on our policies in Venezuela and the Middle East.
Finally, I should mention that although Dr. James Thompson’s discussion of the genetics of race last week has dropped out of the most popular features, it continues to maintain a vigorous debate in its comments, now totaling nearly 100,000 words.
During World War I, seven of the medical schools attached to the University of London decided to start admitting female students, as did Oxford and Edinburgh University. But by 1928, five of these London colleges had decided to stop admitting women, with the other two heavily restricting female numbers. Oxford voted for a ratio of...

I am not going to cover things that well-informed normies already know: How Israel is a weird outlier in fertility by First World standards, and the collapse of fertility in the Islamic world; how life expectancy has been soaring nearly everywhere; the "
See, earlier, by Chilton Williamson:
I spent most of September in China, so The American Dream is Alive in China. Yeah, yeah, I thought: another puff piece from the ChiCom propaganda office. The internet's full of those. The genre is pinned at its most risible end by the contributions of "
Some in congress are beginning to see the light
In spite of the fact that Israeli snipers continue to shoot scores of unarmed protesting Gazans every Friday with virtually no coverage from the media, there are some signs that the ability of Israel and its friends to control the narrative regarding the Jewish state’s appalling human rights violations is beginning to weaken. To be...

The speed of social change in the modern era, and in particular in the contemporary West, is so rapid that we all are liable to feel a bit lost. A recent example of this was provided by none other than Hillary Clinton, that most “progressive” representative of global oligarchy. You see, the 71-year-old Clinton, whose...

There comes a point, and I think we've reached it, where Western boasts about "freedom" and "democracy" become self-discrediting. I am
OK, here’s a silly one for you. Have you ever wondered how all those Wikipedia articles get produced … you know, the ones you pull up on your phone to look up an actor, an author, or a recipe, or a historical or scientific fact? Unfortunately, one of the Consent Factory staff had an opportunity...

Alarming things we have learned under Trump, but not always about him.
Almost daily for three years, Democrats and their media have told us very bad things about Donald Trump’s life, character, and presidency. Some of them are true. But in the process, we have also learned some lamentable, even alarming, things about the Democratic Party establishment, including self-professed liberals. Consider the following: The Democratic establishment is...

Introduction: I recently spoke to a relative of mine who, due to her constant and voluntary exposure to the legacy AngloZionist media, sincerely believed that the three Baltic states and Poland had undergone some kind of wonderful and quasi-miraculous economic and cultural renaissance thanks to their resolute break with the putatively horrible Soviet past and...

The hideous treatment of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange continues and many observers are citing his case as being symptomatic of developing “police state” tendencies in both the United States and in Europe, where rule of law is being subordinated to political expediency. Julian Assange was the founder and editor-in-chief of the controversial news and information...

There's a game a lot of people play. It's called, "Imagine if the races were reversed." You engage in this hypothetical whenever a horrendous black-on-white crime/murder occurs, inevitably ignored by the corporate media. "But if the races were reversed"... is the game we all play, putting ourselves through the arduous mental gymnastics of how the...

Why You Should Stay the Hell Away From the American Military
Some advice: Don't get shot in the face. I don't care what your friends tell you, it isn't a good idea. Further, avoid corneal transplants if you can. If you find a coupon for one, in a box of Cracker Jacks maybe, toss it. Transplants are miserable things. Unless you really need one. What am...
