The Unz Review

Fred Reed • November 16, 2017 • 183 Comments • Reply

For Americans concerned about Mexico and Mexicans, and what sort of wights they be, a little history may help. We seem to know almost nothing about a bordering nation of 130 million. It is not what most of us think it is. It is certainly not what the Loon Right would have us believe. For...

Fred has become a broken record. The loon right? What crap. Mexico is a mess. So is the US thanks to illegal immigrants from Mexico who are draining every American taxpayer for benefits they aren’t entitled to.

A Dubious Patriotism

Methinks that, for the good of the country, it is time that the “Alt-Right,” those bitterly hostile to our Latin-America population, stop and think. There is a difference between opposing further immigration, a good idea, and constantly attacking American citizens. Many good reasons existed for preventing massive immigration from the south. But it happened. Some...

@niteranger

I've been reading Unz for quite a while and it's starting to look like the NY Times and Washington Post. It continually publishes only a handful of people over and over again. Some of them like Fred say the same thing in just about every article. I can't believe that other people (and I've read this on various forums; hints that this is true) who have better articles aren't being published here because of these so called regulars.

Fred brings the same bullshit to just about every piece. Is he working for the fucking Mexican government or what? Ron needs to make a decision about this stuff because the site is becoming stale and limited intellectually as far as I'm concerned. I hope Fred isn't getting paid for this stuff because he's written one essay and changes a few lines and publishes the same thing over and over again.

I couldn’t agree more. I stopped reading Fred’s rants about a year ago. Every post is filled with loathing
about America. Come on Ron. Dump this prick.

In Search of Intelligent Latin Policy

Fred Reed • April 7, 2018 • 243 Comments • Reply

The obvious and intelligent course regarding immigration from the south is to stop further influx and assimilate those who are not going away and, being citizens, cannot be deported. Mr. Trump’s placing of troops along the border, if carried out, can quickly and practically accomplish the first of these, as his silly wall would not....

Man. Once again, Fred subjects us to his incessant rant about ze poor Mexicans and the Alt right. BUILD THE WALL. KEEP FRED OUT!

A Most Sordid Profession

A few thoughts on our disastrous trillion-dollar military: It is unnecessary. It does not defend the United States. The last time it did so was in 1945. The United States has no military enemies. No nation has anything even close to the forces necessary to invade America, and probably none the desire. A fifth of...

Good Lord! Didn’t Fred write the same screed a few months back? Boring worthless drivel. The old hipster has slipped into senility.

Says you. On the contrary, it's a well-written, powerful piece written by a veteran. With society changing implications if widely disseminated.

And you've written what, exactly?

The Moon Landings: A Giant Hoax for Mankind?

Moon Landing Skeptic • April 1, 2019 • 1,563 Comments • Reply

Coming up is the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. In 2016, a survey showed that 52 percent of the British public thought that Apollo missions were faked. Skepticism is highest among those who were too young to see it live on TV: 73 percent of aged 25-34 believe we didn’t land on...

“Wisnewski (130-139) provides a spectacular parallel showing how breaking news related to the Apollo program conveniently turned the American public’s eye away from Vietnam war crimes.”

Baloney. Pure conjecture. The Apollo program did very little to turn America’s eye from Vietnam.
I was there. Vietnam was the lead story on the evening news every day!

Affirmative Action and "The Dog That Didn't Bark"

Ron Unz • July 10, 2023 • 249 Comments • Reply

Just over three years ago, a black lifelong criminal named George Floyd died of an apparent drug-overdose in Minneapolis police custody. This might seem a very minor incident of little importance. But by emphasizing certain distorted facts and hiding others, our media transformed that event into a symbolic flashpoint and thereby ignited a political and...

We are fortunate in Europe that not all media outlets and news websites are as distorting and misleading as UNZ Review. Rubbish like The Belle Curve - despite the never-ending propaganda to promote it - are ignored and reserved for the rubbish bins.

Citing War in Israel, Florida Governor DeSantis Suspends Habeas Corpus, Begins Mass Arrests

Andrew Anglin • November 6, 2023 • 195 Comments • Reply

Citing the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, Governor Ron DeSantis has suspended habeas corpus in Florida and begun the mass arrest of federal and state officials accused of being sympathetic to Hamas. The move drew praise from fellow Republicans, while being condemned by several Democrats, including those who were arrested. “The State of Florida...

American Pravda: Charles A. Lindbergh and the America First Movement

Ron Unz • February 10, 2025 • 660 Comments • Reply

Although I'd never had much interest in American history when I was young, the name of Charles A. Lindbergh was certainly known to me, with the story of that early pioneering aviator always rating at least a few sentences in my introductory textbooks. I'd vaguely known that Lindbergh had been the first to cross the...

The Best Film of Every Year Since 1950

Jung-Freud • March 20, 2025 • 318 Comments • Reply

Every year has its yield of worthy movies. A casual viewer can list ten(or even more) good works in any given year, but the great films are few and far between. In most years, there are maybe one to three films of greatness. There are also dry spells, bereft of not even one great film...

High on my list for 1969 is Truffaut’s Mississippi Mermaid starring Catherine Deneuve and Jean-Paul Belmondo. A fascinating romantic crime drama.
