Antiwar.com is an English-language website containing news and opinion pieces related to wars throughout the world, from a point of view of ideological and political Red-green-brown alliance of anti-democratic and anti-Semitic neo-Nazis, Islamists ,Old Right and far Left. The site was founded in December of 1995. It is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation, operating under the auspices of the Randolph Bourne Institute, based in Atherton, California. The language of publications is shrill, openly demagogic; the site provides very little factual information but is a full of conspiracy theories, like claim that'Israel had foreknowledge of 9/11,' While site claim anti-war position in fact it is openly supportive of Islamic terrorism against the USA and Israel. The site made an enormous effort to became noticeable by the mainstream left leaning media which opposes to so called "neo-conservative" policies of president George W. Bush. After initial attention to the site, the left wing media began to ignore it. At present Antiwar.com failed into obscurity.


Personnel include Justin Raimondo (founder and editorial director), Eric Garris (founder and webmaster), Matt Barganier (editor), Jeremy Sapienza (assistant webmaster and senior editor),and Alexia Gilmore (executive director). Columnists include Raimondo, Ivan Eland, Praful Bidwai, Ran HaCohen, Nebojsa Malic, Alan Bock, Charles V. Peña, Bevin Chu and Joseph Stromberg. The site carries a variety of opinions, regularly carrying authors ranging from the Old Right to the Progressive Left, from Paul Craig Roberts and Pat Buchanan to Alexander Cockburn, and many in between. The editorial position has been staunchly libertarian with a 'big tent' message, arguing for libertarians, paleoconservatives, and the anti-war left to work together in opposition to war.

The site has consistently opposed all U.S. interventionism, from the bombing of Serbia to the present occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq.
