  American Pravda: "The Great Replacement" and Other Controversial Racial Matters  Ron Unz Riots and Looting in Paris “The Great Replacement” in Europe and in America All of us are limited in our time and concentration, and over the last couple of weeks I’ve been heavily focused on the Middle East tinderbox and other military conflicts. So although I’d heard something about the large public protests in Paris and other French urban centers, I hadn’t paid much attention to them, nor realized how serious they had become. But Tucker Carlson had, and in one of his shows late last week, he spent more than 150 minutes using those high-profile events as a starting point for a discussion of broader issues. Video Link Apparently there was quite a lot of violent looting and arson taking place, and early in his podcast he provided a montage of those scenes . These suggested that some of the disturbances were at least on a par with what had happened in our own country during the Black Liv...

  The Green Pipe Dream Meets the Real World Where climate change hysteria collides with wartime and existential realities Dr. Mathew Maavak When I first sketched the following observations in the spring of 2026, during the opening salvos of the US-Israeli war on Iran, I wondered if the climate hysteria would survive contact with the real world. Five months later, the answer is a resounding no. The lofty, policy-driven push for a global “green transition” has not just collided with wartime realities; it has been utterly pulverized by them.

I have often wondered what exactly the rabid climate change activists were smoking. It was not just the blatant hypocrisy of the Davos set, flying their private jets to conferences to lecture the hoi polloi on the virtues of substituting meat with insect protein. It was their profound, almost comical detachment from ...

Nothing Will Come Of Nothing.

  Nothing Will Come Of Nothing. Actually, it’s worse than that. Aurelien Towards the end of the 1970s, there was a movement in Britain called Punk, mostly expressed in music, but in some other forms of art as well. I never much cared for it, although it’s true that it was a useful corrective to the inane pomposities of Progressive Rock music earlier in the decade. But most commentators at the time correctly recognised that the quality of the music—often indifferent, at best—was less important than the power and authenticity of the anger and frustration that it articulated. Yet it must be hard today to understand where these emotions were coming from, in a society where unemployment, in modern terms, scarcely existed, where public services generally worked and where the country was still a major industrial power. Yet even before the reign of Thatcher began, the mood was one of sour anger and frustration. People demonstrated for the Right to Work, and Punk itself was often described ...
