Just about a year ago I discussed The Unz Review in the context of a
controversy over Valerie Plame tweeting a link to an article that
appeared there written by columnist Philip Giraldi titled “America’s
Jews Are Driving America’s Wars”. Oh, did I mention that other people
identified as columnists include: Patrick Cockburn, Peter Lee, Tom
Engelhardt, Norman Finkelstein, and Michael Hudson?
The website is named after its founder Ron Unz, two of whose most recent
posts has prompted me to revisit this website that encapsulates the
sordid connections between the alt-right and the radical movement. Like
David Duke and other aspiring fascists, Unz aggregates articles that
might have appeared originally on leftist websites. Such articles offer
solidarity for the Palestinians, Assad’s war on terrorism, the Eastern
Ukraine separatists as well as opposition to trade deals like The
Trans-Pacific Partnership, warmongers like John McCain, Mueller’s
investigation and NATO.
For every one of these leftist articles (leaving aside the merits of
Assad and the Donetsk militias) you will find just as many promoting
bans on immigration of the sort found in VDARE (Ron Unz has donated 10s
of thousands of dollars to VDARE), “scholarly” articles making the case
that people of color are genetically inferior to Caucasians, arguments
that the ANC is behind “white genocide” in South Africa aimed at farmers
exactly like those made by Tucker Carlson and repeated by Trump, and
anti-Semitic tripe of the sort Giraldi wrote.
But none of this prepared me for Ron Unz’s recent turn that effectively
puts The Unz Review in the same category as the Daily Stormer and
DavidDuke.com.
