Antiwar.com is an English-language website containing news and opinion pieces related predominantly to wars in which the USA and Israel are involved from a point of view of ideological and political red-green-brown alliance of anti-democratic and anti-Semitic neo-Nazis, paleoconservative Old Right, Islamists 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 accusations that'Israel had foreknowledge of 9/11. While site claims 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 (liberal) 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. Because its want of credibility, Antiwar.com is not cited by the leading mainstream left and conservative blogs. At present Antiwar.com is failed into obscurity.

Personnel include self proclaimed libertarian of neo-Fascist bent 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).

With exception of Buchanan, no one of site authors is known outside of small circle of peculiar fringe to which any of them belonged.
