I only just received a couple of the books I’d ordered for my current article, so it will have to wait until next week. Meanwhile, I might as well highlight a couple of my recent podcast interviews, both of which seemed to go reasonably well.
Back in September, I was interviewed for an hour by Michael Harris, with my discussion focusing on two of my recent articles, the first dealing with the true origins and history of the ADL and the second with the hidden history of the 2008 Presidential race between Barack Obama and John McCain.

Then a couple of days ago, I was interviewed for two hours by Ethan Ralph on his Killstream podcast, and I discussed quite a number of different issues, including my analysis of the JFK Assassination, the 9/11 Attacks, the origins of the ADL, and the Holocaust.

One additional topic that came up during the second podcast interview was the 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing, the largest terrorist attack on American soil to that date, which destroyed the local federal building, taking 168 lives. I briefly mentioned that there seemed to be a great deal of evidence that the official story was false, as I’d discussed in a section of an article I’d published in late 2022:

Different individuals prefer different sources of information. I typically rely upon books and articles, which tend to provide the greatest depth and breadth of material, and I had discussed some of these in my article.
But others prefer video presentations, and I recently came across an excellent one on that 1995 incident. The documentary provides on-camera interviews of key eyewitnesses who directly contradict the officially established narrative, as well as the testimony of several experts explaining its extreme implausibility. In addition, numerous media clips were provided in which journalists and government figures, even including the governor of Oklahoma, declared that unexploded bombs had found inside the federal building, a reality totally at odds with the claims the attack had been committed by Timothy McVeigh, a deranged right-wing terrorist.
Produced in 2011 and originally distributed by ITN, the documentary can be freely watched online and I’d highly recommend it:
- A Noble Lie: Oklahoma City 1995
James Lane • 2011 • 2 hours 1 minute
I watched that documentary a couple of weeks ago and afterwards the same website recommended several others. One of these was on the 9/11 Attacks, and a few days ago I viewed as well, the first I had ever watched on that topic.
Focusing on the destruction of the World Trade Center towers in New York City, it provided interviews of dozens of experienced professionals, including construction engineers, architects, and demolition experts, all of whom persuasively declared that the official 9/11 story made no sense, and that the buildings could not possibly have collapsed merely from the fires set off by the planes that hit them. In addition, numerous eyewitnesses reported hearing explosions inside the towers just before they fell, while academic chemists found strong residual traces of military-grade explosives.
This documentary was produced in 2012 by the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth organization, and I’d also highly-recommend watching it online:
- 9/11: Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out
Richard Gage • 2012 • 1 hour 27 minutes
Although I’d been aware of all these facts for years and discussed many of them in my articles, seeing so many sober-minded and experienced professionals make their assessments on-camera obviously lends a great deal of additional credibility and weight to these dramatic conclusions, which I’d recapitulated last month on the 22nd anniversary.

Is one of the books you ordered Alfred L. Chan’s Xi Jinping: Political Career, Governance and, Leadership 1953-2018 ?
I highly highly recommend it, it provides a neutral in-depth look at Xi and the Chinese state through biography. There is no book that comes close to having the content of this book.

Thank God for Ron Unz!
I don’t think anyone in modern history has had more of an impact on shifting opinion and thus the direction of modern world events more than Ron Unz. And weirdly, he is not a household name.
His impact comes not only from his webzine but his own personal research on things like Harvard discrimination, Covid as a U.S.-created bioweapon, and all the subjects in his American Pravda series. There is no telling how profoundly and the extent to which his work and webzine have shifted the thoughts/opinions of people, even derivatively.
For example, I see articles on the landmark Supreme Court decision on Affirmation Action from last summer and think, “If not for Ron Unz this landmark Supreme Court decision, even this legal case, even this topic, would not even exist.” Yet his name is never mentioned as the sole person behind the research which led to this Supreme Court decision.
Alex Jones was promoting Noble Lie the day it appeared. Good old days!
I’ll have to listen to these interviews sometime this week. Mike is usually very receptive to your arguments.
The current battle Israel is fighting with Hamas might tempt the Israeli leadership to greenlight a new false flag attack on Americans. I hope that doesn’t happen. It probably wouldn’t work out for Israel in the end, because the U.S. military can’t recruit enough troops anymore, and thus couldn’t wage an all-out Middle Eastern campaign, and also wouldn’t work because NATO has run out of ammunition during its war on Russia. Israel might have to make major concessions to the Palestinians.
The Holocaust story consists of a lot of fictional material. It’s like the wild and lurid tales of the 1903 Kishinev pogrom and the alleged atrocities committed by Germany during World War I in Belgium, combined, times 10,000. The Holocaust story involves tales of violence during World War II that never actually occurred, like the film Inglorious Basterds. The violence in that film committed by Jews against Nazis is a revenge fantasy fueled by the Holocaust fantasy, which was itself fueled by other Hollywood films. Violence against Nazis being good remains a part of the popular culture today.
Can I request an article about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that covers some of the history of the region? Almost none of the coverage of the conflict is balanced. Most western coverage talks at length about terrorist atrocities by Hamas (such as the recent attack and their mortar rocket attacks) and never mentions any of the things the Israeli government has done (such as bulldozing people’s houses while the residents were still inside, using Palestinian children as human shields, the use of white phosphorous munitions in civilian areas like the Gaza strip a few days ago and so forth). Most coverage in the Arab world is the same but the other way around. In the Arab world everything bad that Israel does is spoken of at length whilst Hamas’ terrorist activities are minimised.
Hey Ron, why not link your podcasts under the Podcast tab too?
It’s easier for me to find that on my (android) phone- it’s almost as if you’ve done something to upset the Googlies.
I agree. Ron has had the ability and drive to follow lines of enquiry where-ever they lead, no matter how verboten. He has, I think, made it possible for many others too.
I think of the last stanza of Henley’s Invictus
A life well lived.
Shit, I didn’t mean to write an obituary…
In their own words.
Jews and modern art.
