Kerry R. Bolton
Generation ’68: The Elite Revolution and Its Legacy
Allentown, Penn.: Antelope Hill, 2023

A Left-wing freakout took place among students across the world in 1968, most prominently in France, where student protesters occupied universities and factories, clashed with police, and chanted the names of prominent Communists and Leftists: “Marx! Mao! Marcuse!” France’s trade unions went on strikes in sympathy, and the event remains the largest general strike in French history. The protests were so intense that France’s then-President, Charles de Gaulle, briefly left the country. (more…)

It ought to be mighty difficult to make a bad production — be it documentary, fictionalized, semi-fictionalized — out of the career of master spy Kim Philby. Yet, somehow the makers of the six-part mini-series A Spy Among Friends have succeeded in that grim task. (First broadcast a year ago in England on ITVX; in America it’s streaming on MGM+.) This is not from lack of talent or production values. Rather, the problem appears to be poor knowledge of the subject and lack of respect for the available material, most notably the wonderful Ben Macintyre book of the same title, which inspired the TV series but did not inform it to any great extent — alas!

No sooner had my epic seven-part series on Hunter S. Thompson, “Father of Fake News,” wrapped up — well, maybe a few months later — than Miles Mathis, the doyen of online conspiracy research, turned his gimlet eyes onto the same hapless subject in “Hunter S. Thompson: Spook Baby.”

Cazart! Was this another conspiracy? Synchronicity? Or just a coincidence? (Sure, that’s exactly what They’d want you to believe). (more…)

He may be a son of a bitch, but he’s our son of a bitch. — Franklin D. Roosevelt

“Takes one to know one,” as the old saw goes. FDR’s “our son of a bitch” reference, which some say is apocryphal, was to Anastasio Somoza García, the President of Nicaragua from 1937 to 1956. (more…)

If the fraudulent 2020 elections have taught us anything, it’s that if you want to find what a country’s elites are most threatened by, look for what they are trying to suppress.

A four-part FOX News report from December 2001 recently resurfaced on YouTube, garnering millions of views. And then, suddenly, it was purged. You can still find it on Bitchute, Rumble, and Odysee — but not so easily on YouTube anymore. (more…)

This report by FOX News was first broadcast in four parts between December 11 and 14, 2001. We would like to thank Spencer J. Quinn for the transcript. (more…)

The CIA is extremely upset that a noose was found near one of their facilities, since inclusiveness and safety has always been their main priority.

1,435 words

On Monday, The New York Times published what may be the vaguest and most indistinct “news” article in world history. Titled “C.I.A. Director Issues Warning After Possible Noose Is Found Near Facility,” it hints and alleges and tiptoes around the idea that an object that “appeared to be a noose” — and which may therefore constitute a racist threat against the Central Intelligence Agency — was discovered “outside” of a “secret facility used by the agency in Virginia”: (more…)

Argo (2012) is an outstanding movie. It won three Oscars and was nominated for many more. It tells the story of the Iranian Hostage Crisis, where Iranian “students” overran the US embassy and captured all but six of the diplomats and embassy staffers. The reason for Alan Arkin’s nomination for Best Supporting Actor can be shown by a simple facial gesture he makes when he is angered by the Iranians and is sympathetic toward the hostages. Arkin’s acting is nuanced and clear. It excellently propels the story forward. (more…)

Martin Luther King with Nelson Rockefeller in 1961.

3,603 words

Every year, the third Monday of January is designated Martin Luther King Day, and the much-lauded paragon of “passive resistance” and “equality” is praised to high heaven with the aura of sainthood, or even godhood, perhaps only equalled by his South African counterpart, Nelson Mandela. I will not argue here whether desegregation has improved anyone’s lot, blacks included, any more than the dismantling of apartheid did, other than its having intended to create an “inclusive economy,” as the Rockefeller Foundation and others call it, and an expanded consumption market.

Allen Welsh Dulles & John Foster Dulles

2,236 words

After decades of blessed obscurity, the Dulles brothers have splashed back into the news of late. There are big books, little books, forthcoming books: all leading to a flurry of newspaper and online articles (notably Alex Beam’s March 8 essay in The Wall Street Journal). 

The two major volumes that have led the way are The Brothers: John Foster Dulles, Allen Dulles, and Their Secret World (2013) by onetime New York Times reporter Stephen Kinzer; and The Devil’s Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America’s Secret Government (2015) by David Talbot (more…)
