Remembering Chip Berlet [ThreeWayFight]

[This post is mirrored from ThreeWayFight.org, where it was originally posted 2026-02-15.] Three Way Fight mourns antifascist researcher, writer, and organizer Chip Berlet, who died on January 30th. For some fifty years, Chip was a dedicated opponent of both far right politics and state repression. As a paralegal with the National Lawyers Guild in the 1970s, he helped force the U.S. government to release 300,000 pages of documents about the FBI’s COINTELPRO (Counterintelligence Program) against leftists. In 1987, Chip Berlet and Jean Hardisty cofounded Political Research Associates, which quickly became one of the best sources of information and analysis on...

Cracks in the Foundation: Heritage and Ruling Class Strategy [ThreeWayFight]

[This article is mirrored from ThreeWayFight.org, where it was originally published on January 1, 2026.] When more than a dozen Heritage Foundation staffers recently quit, it highlighted the Trump coalition’s growing internal debate over white nationalist antisemitism. But it also points to a crisis of strategic direction for the US ruling class. The Heritage Foundation, arguably the most important think tank in Trump’s orbit, is losing about fifteen staffers, including the heads of its legal, economic, and data analysis divisions, all of whom are moving over to a much smaller think tank founded by Mike Pence in 2021, called Advancing American...

What Charlie Kirk’s Life and Death Can Tell Us About the U.S. Right in the Age of Trump [ThreeWayFight]

by Matthew N Lyons [This article was originally posted to ThreeWayFight.org on September 16, 2025.] Charlie Kirk’s life and death offer a microcosm of the MAGA movement’s shift to the right over the past decade—and of the dynamic factional interplay that has fueled that shift. Regardless of why Kirk was targeted, the right is using his killing as an opportunity to impose a climate of enforced loyalty and gear up for what could be a major political crackdown. Despite efforts to mythologize him as someone committed to open, principled debate, Charlie Kirk built his political career on punching down. He told...

Epstein’s Ghost and the Many Sides of Conspiracism [ThreeWayFight]

[This article was originally posted to ThreeWayFight.org on September 1, 2025.] The Trump administration’s botched handling of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal put conspiracy theories back in the headlines. It has also highlighted that assessing conspiracy theories’ political meaning and significance can be complicated. Epstein, financier and convicted child sex offender, died in prison in 2019 five weeks after being arrested on sex trafficking charges. His death was ruled a suicide, but suspicions that he was murdered to stop him from testifying against other powerful people have been integral to right-wing conspiracy theories about pedophile elites ever since. That populist anger...
