The Unz Review Digest – December 25, 2020
Ranking first this last week was an article by author David Irving originally published over a quarter-century ago and describing the ferocious harassment and persecution he had experienced, supplemented by several videos of his public lectures, purged from YouTube but still available on Bitchute. Although Irving ranks as perhaps the most internationally-successful British historian of the last 100 years, his exhaustive documentary research led him to produce a series of highly-controversial volumes on the true history of World War II which aroused an enormous wave of attacks and media vilification, culminating in his bankruptcy after a London libel trial and his later imprisonment. Irving’s case and his views provoked nearly 300 comments totaling over 30,000 words.
Disease epidemics held the next two spots, led by Larry Romanoff’s speculative analysis of the great Spanish Flu epidemic of one hundred years ago, which he believes may have been caused by widespread use of a defective American vaccine, drawing a couple of hundred comments totaling more than 30,000 words. Just below was James Thompson’s discussion of the difficulties Britain faces with the current Covid-19 outbreak and the extensive lockdowns being implemented to control it.
Fourth place was held by Nicholas R. Jeelvy’s discussion of the enormous power and influence of Jewish groups in today’s American society and the widespread unwillingness of writers—even those on the political “fringe”—to publicly acknowledge that fact, an enormous obstacle to correcting our current problems, with the author arguing that only candid individuals willing to break that taboo can be trusted. This topic quickly unleashed an enormous outpouring of commentary, totaling more than 700 comments and 85,000 words.
Rounding out our most popular features were two columns on the aftermath of the Biden/Harris victory in the 2020 elections, with James Kirkpatrick arguing that mainstream white Americans have to admit that they no longer have a country of their own and Philip Giraldi focusing on the public plans for widespread political revenge by the establishmentarian forces that had spent four years opposing Donald Trump.
Finally, although it has long-since dropped out of the top group, Laurent Guyenot’s article from three weeks ago about the Kennedy assassination continues to attract ongoing debate, now reached some 750 comments and almost 190,000 words, probably representing one of the most extensive discussions found anywhere on the Internet, with nearly half the total coming from a fierce and very determined skeptic of all such conspiracy theories.Life Under FireThe Wages of ApostasyDAVID IRVING • 300 COMMENTS(Presented at the Eleventh IHR Conference, October 1992.)

The Establishment “Deep State” has won a major victory in the United States with the election of Joe Biden as president.

Three features distinguish the top three. They are all sovereign powers. They are under varying degrees of sanctions. And they are the top three nodes of the 21st century’s most important, evolving geopolitical process: Eurasia integration…. READ MOREWhite Racism as the Mother of All EvilsROBERT WEISSBERG • 104 COMMENTSSince the 1960s the federal government has initiated countless programs to close racial gaps. All have failed, some have even exacerbated these gaps, but failure aside, all posited logical connections between the program and the intended beneficial outcome. Head Start, for example, rested on the plausible idea that blacks disproportionately suffered early childhood deprivations, and… READ MORETailgunner Joe Rides AgainCARL BOGGS • 154 COMMENTSAmong the most sordid periods of American history was the systematic political repression directed against leftists, Communists, labor activists, and other “subversives” – the McCarthyism of peak Cold War years spanning the late 1940s to late 1950s. The merciless ideological crusade associated with Joe McCarthy, junior senator from Wisconsin otherwise identified as “Tailgunner Joe”, was… READ MOREYear ZeroC.J.

Thus, Donald Trump in 2020, while he may have done better among whites because of their innate xenophobic racism, was swept away by the righteous wrath of immigrants. Except … the opposite happened. From… READ MOREThe Empire of DreamsGREGORY HOOD • 64 COMMENTSHistory Has Begun is a very important but badly flawed book.
