Hard to believe, but I’ve been doing this web site thing - not a blog! - for about 25 years, now. I’m a dinosaur, pretty much. But, prior to their extinction-level end, even dinosaurs evolved. So, I’m evolving. Twenty-five years ago, this web site seriously looked like a 14th Century wood cut (it often read like one, too). My brother said it needed to change. He was the one who conceived the one-eye Warren branding thing at top right, which I’ve kept. It stayed like that for

Celebration of Hamas attack in Mississauga, Ont., on October 8, 2023. Photo by Efrain Monsanto. The purpose of propaganda is to make some people think that other people aren’t human. Aldous Huxley, the British philosopher, said that. So true were his words, I started my book The Hidden Hand with them. Propaganda comes with differing names: agitprop, disinformation, fake news, falsehoods, frauds, lies. Whatever it is called, whatever the circumstances, that is always its inten

Jean Chretien and Sam. [Wrote this on this web site 25 years ago. Can't believe it's been that long. Quite a bit has changed since then. Sadly, our relationship with America isn't the same. Don't know if it ever will be again. But, happily, Sam is much, much smarter than his Dad, and is soon going to be a very successful lawyer. God bless everyone we lost 25 years ago.] On a beautiful Sunday afternoon just over a week ago, when the rural Ontario sky was clear and cloudless an

One year ago, Mark Carney recognized Palestine. Remember that? He said that the Palestinians had agreed to: Stop their program that pays their citizens to kill Jews. Reform the way they govern themselves, and have elections. De-militarize Palestine, and stop things like promoting Jew hatred in schools. A year later, not one of Carney's conditions has been met. None. Mark Carney went ahead and recognized Palestine anyway. And, in the intervening year, he hasn't withdrawn h

These days, so many crazy things get done and said, it’s hard to keep track. Years ago, the American author David Shenk came up with a name for it: data smog. There’s so much stuff clogging up our devices and TV screens - words, images, propaganda - that it becomes data smog. There’s too much of it. There’s only so many hours in the day. So we turn it off. This happens a lot, now, during the Trump era. Pollsters have taken note of it, on both sides of the border. The American

September 4, 1984: on that day, I was on an Air Canada flight from Ottawa, heading home to Calgary to start law school. The pilot came on the blower. “For those of you who are wondering, we are hearing that the Liberal Party has lost every one of its seats,” he said. “And we have a new Conservative majority government.” The plane erupted in cheers and applause – lots of it. Having just said goodbye to many of my Liberal friends at Ottawa polling stations, and having just fini

My book has been a bestseller for months, on Amazon and elsewhere, and it's now in it's third printing. Grateful to all of you who have picked it up. Here's some of things that people have said about it so far: David Frum, The Atlantic: "Just finished reading Warren Kinsella's remarkable book-length investigation of coordinated campaign of anti-Israel defamation since 10/7. Israel was targeted for genocide. When it repelled the genocidaires, it was accused of the very crime i

• Progress Toronto is Olivia Chow's unregistered third party hit squad. • It's led by a founder of the Iranian Canadian Congress (ICC). • The ICC has sponsored rallies in support of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a designated terror group which subjugates women, gays and dissidents - and kills Jews. • Progress Toronto has campaigned against bubble zones designed to protect Jews from attacks while at prayer. They are indifferent to people losing their lives to toxic

Everything is Trump; Trump is everything. That’s a twist on a pithy aphorism in Buddhism - “form is emptiness, emptiness is form.” These days, the Trump one makes more sense, doesn’t it? Consider the evidence. Last week, this newspaper broke the news that the taxpayer-funded Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) had ordered its reporters and editors to refrain from describing the al-Qaeda terror attack of September 11, 2001 as terrorism. The CBC has long taken the position

I was literally in Chapters/Indigo's flagship store in Toronto, completely unable to find my bestselling book - a bit suspicious, that - when a colleague sent me this video. The hater in question is Farhood Soleymany Moayed aka "@kriticalkan." The pro-Israel account Leviathan posted this first, so I tend to believe it's authentic. Quite proud to be among the censored and boycotted. (But surprised Indigo hasn't gone after Jew-hater.)

It’s true: CBC said 9/11 wasn’t a terror attack. I received the email on Wednesday. The source(s) wished to remain confidential. The email was from Basem Boshra, the “Senior Director of Journalistic Standards and Public Trust at CBC News.” It was addressed to all CBC news staff and was “for internal use only.” When I read it, I saw why. “Hello all,” Boshra wrote. “With the 25th anniversary of 9/11 approaching and the considerable amount of planned coverage, this is an opportu

"The Campaign, based on Warren Kinsella’s The Hidden Hand, weaves in-depth interviews with investigative reporting to reveal a social media movement that spread anti-Israel messaging, fueling antisemitism...The Campaign, looks not at the massacre itself, but at the orchestrated social media campaign in its wake that the film alleges has fuelled global antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment worldwide. The 93-minute documentary, directed by Kari Hollend and Cristina Bishai and

Here's our discussion. Very grateful to have this opportunity to speak without such a legend of journalism.

Terrorism. The definition of that word is widely known and widely accepted. The Encyclopedia Britannica people define it this way: “Terrorism is the calculated use of violence, or the threat of violence, to create general fear in a population and coerce a government or society to achieve political, religious, or ideological goals.” By any reasonable and objective standard, that is what happened nearly 25 years ago, on September 11, 2001: terrorism. On that terrible day, four

Here. "In the days after October 7, anti-Israel slogans, protests, and narratives appeared across the globe with extraordinary speed. To many, the movement looked spontaneous. But was it? Host Aviva Klompas speaks with political strategist and bestselling author Warren Kinsella about his new book, The Hidden Hand: The Information War and the Rise of Antisemitic Propaganda. Drawing on decades of experience running political campaigns and combating extremist movements, Kinsella

This is fun and funny. But it sends an important message, too.

Most of literature, Hollywood, and popular culture trade on the same hoary theme: in big versus small, small wins. Or should. It’s originates in the Bible, as all of the best morality stories do. From Samuel 17, we all know the tale of the shepherd boy David, who does battle with the giant Goliath. Over nine feet tall, covered in gleaming armor, Goliath mocked the Israelites, demanding they send someone to fight him, day after day. David hears the taunts and volunteers. He ha
