Reader’s Links for Oct. 23rd, 2026

Each day at just after midnight Eastern, a post like this one is created for contributors and readers of this site to upload news links and video links on the issues that concern this site. Most notably, Islam and its effects on Classical Civilization, and various forms of leftism from Soviet era communism, to postmodernism and all the flavours of galloping statism and totalitarianism such as Nazism and Fascism which are increasingly snuffing out the classical liberalism which created our near, miraculous civilization the West has been building since the time of Socrates.

This document was written around the time this site was created, for those who wish to understand what this site is about. And while our understanding of the world and events has grown since then, the basic ideas remain sound and true to the purpose.

So please post all links, thoughts and ideas that you feel will benefit the readers of this site to the comments under this post each day. And thank you all for your contributions.

This is the new Samizdat. We must use it while we can.

For those interested, please check out https://vladtepesblog.substack.com/ as an another avenue of expression. The Substack is a different project in a sense. It is older videos that in the light of subsequent events, look different or of increased importance, Check it out now and again if you like. But use it safely.

ADDENDUM: 

This site operates more at the philosophical level of the communist/Islamic revolution which is obliterating Western Civilization. Politics, culture, law are all down stream from philosophy. Understanding the philosophy of the attack is to understand what is an attack and develop tactics, both individually and collectively against them. The attack comes entirely (so far) in the form of Dialectics. To understand dialectics, watch and read everything you can by Maj. (Ret.) Stephen Coughlin.

Here is a repost of the simplest explanation, or at least the shortest one, we have been able to think of so far (Placed here by request)

We as humans communicate mostly via conventions. In other words, we decide what a word means by what we, as a culture want it to mean, then fix the term as a convention via a dictionary

or other means so we can express what we want to each other and be understood. It’s a group process more or less but based on what we want expressions, words, concepts and taxonomy to mean.

Dialectics is the imposition of meaning on existing terms for a political outcome which is destructive to what we all consider meaning. It is a complete hijacking of Meaning.

This also applies to taxonomy. The most underrated aspect of epistemology. Of how we see ourselves. Of how we understand the world, via categories. Via labels.

Dialectical taxonomy is what forces us to change everything we think about sexuality and accept political sexuality such as the Trans-movement.

Or somehow convincing everyone that the German National Socialist Worker’s Party is somehow “far right wing”, which may be the most masterful dialectical con of the 20th century.

This deserves a proper essay. But I just want to get the thought out there.

Imposing, forcing meaning on us. Changing terms to mean what a group of tyrants what us to think they mean as opposed to what they do mean and more or less always have meant.

Making words mean something other than what we meant them to mean, then banning or criminalizing them because of their imputed meaning, even though they were good, useful terms that helped hold our culture together.

Attacking us for using perfectly good words with important meanings, then telling us what we meant by what we said, then cancelling us for it in the pre-revolutionary stage, and now in the UK outright arrest you now that the revolution is all but complete.

That is dialectics.

Senator Shane Jett on the Islamic Communist threat to the West

Here is an interview with Oklahoma State Senator, Shane Jett speaking directly to the threat to the West by the Islamic communist alliance. This was done in Ottawa at the Biker’s Church conference on the issue titled, “Are Christians Safe in Canada“.

An example of what makes Canada a dialectically driven (Narrative based) state rather than rule of law

So we take the position that Canada, and a lot of other Western nations for that matter, but Canada for the moment, is a dialectically driven society rather than anything even similar to a Republic.

And what is meant by that is while we maintain the illusion of Rule of Law and the existence of the Individual as an entity with protected rights, in fact we are a narrative driven society. The state invents what is tantamount to divine truth, and then used the apparatus of the state to enforce that truth and punish all opposition to it, with priority going to the most influential of opposition.

So if a real climate scientist comes out against ‘Man made global warming’ they will face cancelation at best. If a doctor or scientist comes out against the various and multiple Covid and mRNA narratives, often total loss of everything. Charles Hoffe as one excellent example.

Also the organs of state are named more for what damage they do to the named function of the department, rather than serving that function. Health Canada is more about abortion, MAiD, and sterilizing and creating vast amounts of injury and illness to children under the rubric of “Trans Affirming Care” rather than actually helping them with any emotional issues which may make them suggestible to getting spayed or neutered and taking vast amounts of dangerous drugs.

Recently, Biker’s Church in Ottawa had an event on whether or not Christians are safe in Canada. They had quite an all star cast of speakers, some of whom can be seen at this RAIR Foundation article.

For the immediate purpose of this post, we wish to focus on one woman who was not a scheduled speaker, but was on the panel at the end for a Q&A.

Linda Gibbons protested abortion in a peaceful and non threatening way for which she spent eleven years in jail. A question was asked of her by RAIR Foundation during the Q&A

We hope to get more on her and her story at some point soon.

But when you compare what she did to what happened to her, and that she was exorcising her constitutionally protected freedom of speech, (and doubly so based on Canada’s charter of rights and freedoms of Diefenbaker’s) to what happens to Muslims who openly preach for mass murder, Islamic conquest and the fall of democratic or representative law, which Muslims slyly refer to as, “Man made law” implying that their sharia replacement is somehow not just the fantasies of a medieval warlord but somehow passed down by God as absolute and mandatory for all of humanity, then we start to get a picture of how Canada is a dialectically driven society. Something legal gets a harmless older woman 11 years in jail, but an endless parade of imams can call for mass deaths and the destruction of Canada’s entire system of laws and governance to be replaced with their own, and the only ones that make it to a court are the ones caught ready to commit murder directly. At least for the moment.

This is just one example from a Toronto mosque. Pretty much nothing happened to anyone involved but the Toronto Star actually hired a translator known to make bogus translations from Arabic to try and cover this guy’s tracks. No jail time for anyone though and as far as we know, no job losses or cancel-culture consequences either. but certainly no 11 years in jail.

This was just the easiest example to find at the moment. If you go to MEMRI.org it will take time to get more examples only because there are so many you have to really refine your search terms.

So: Protesting against the deaths of people yet to be born, 11 years in jail for a woman with no criminal record or history of violence, and none for those advocating for genocide and the overthrow of republic-democratic law to be replaced with sharia.

OK then.

Here is an AI generated list of links of Imams in Canada advocating for that which is illegal under several statutes:

MEMRI-Documented Canadian Imam Sermons

1. Younus Kathrada (Victoria, BC) — Muslim Youth Victoria

This is your most prolific subject. MEMRI has at least three separate clips of him:

Date MEMRI Clip # Key Content
July 31, 2026(sermon), posted Aug 3, 2026 #12963 Palestine is Muslim land; no “infidel” (non-Muslim) can rule it; must be governed by sharia, not democracy or “infidel laws”; Muslims’ duty to expel the Jews from Palestine; prayed for Allah to “destroy the plundering and occupying Jews along with the infidels and hypocrites that help them” and to grant victory to the mujahideen
Nov 24, 2023 #10725 Titled “Is Islam at War?”; Israel has no right to defend itself; prayed: “Oh Allah, bring annihilation upon the plundering and criminal Jews”
June 24, 2022 #9663 Homosexuality is an “abomination”; again prayed for Allah to “bring annihilation upon the plundering, criminal Jews” and to return the Al-Aqsa Mosque to Muslim control

All three were sourced from the Muslim Youth Victoria YouTube channel. Kathrada has been the subject of a joint Vancouver police / RCMP hate-crime probe (reported by the World Jewish Congress) and a criminal complaint filed by CIJA.

2. Moulana Amir Hosein Amazi (Toronto) — Madina Tul Ilm Mosque

Date MEMRI Clip # Key Content
Sep 25, 2026 #13054 Friday sermon marking the anniversary of Nasrallah’s assassination; prayed that America and the Israeli regime be destroyed “as swiftly as possible” with the help of Imam Mahdi; praised Hizbullah mujahideen

Sourced from “Madina Tul Ilm Toronto on YouTube.”

3. Imam Ayman Taher (Ontario)

Date MEMRI Clip # Key Content
Apr 18, 2025 #11973 “Vote Palestine” sermon ahead of Canadian federal elections; warned against political parties “hijacking” the Canadian Muslim community; less explicitly violent but framed Canada’s political future through a Muslim solidarity lens

4. Abdullah Hakim Quick (Toronto) — TARIC Islamic Centre

Date MEMRI Clip # Key Content
Apr 25, 2025 #11977 Following the Pope’s death; said the Prophet said Jesus would return to “break the crosses, slay all pigs”; compared Vatican Christians to ancient Christians who were invited to Islam or paid the jizya poll tax; said Christians “have no modesty, use pagan symbols”

5. Montreal Mosque (Al-Andalous / AS-SSunah) — 2017

Not on MEMRI’s Canada clips page directly, but well-documented:

  • An imam at a Montreal mosque recited the notorious hadith about stones and trees calling Muslims to kill Jews hiding behind them (the “Gharqad tree” hadith). This was reported by CBC, Times of Israel, and the CJN. A second anti-Semitic sermon from the same mosque surfaced weeks later. A police warrant was issued for the imam (a Palestinian-Jordanian national, per BBC).

Where the Videos Actually Are

MEMRI’s full video clips are behind their paywall/archives for professionals. But the original sources are all on YouTube:

  • Kathrada’s sermons: Muslim Youth Victoria YouTube channel
  • Amazi’s sermon: Madina Tul Ilm Toronto YouTube channel
  • Taher’s sermon: Ayman Taher YouTube channel
  • Quick’s sermon: TARIC Islamic Centre YouTube channel

We will post more on the Biker’s Church event soon. But for the moment, we wanted to give this thought a little oxygen. The juxtaposition between treatment of these groups of people is too severe. There was also a Catholic Priest, who’s photo randomly appears as the banner for this site, who was repeatedly jailed for holding a sign within a block of a abortuarium which read, “Freedom of speech is the cornerstone of Civilization”.

He never confronted a woman having an abortion. he merely advocated for freedom of speech where none is allowed.

 

Staggering amount of Hegelian language used by Texas Senatorial political candidate, James Talarico

Just observing patterns here, but it seems to me that when a candidate openly advocates for this much communist policy and uses this much dialectical language, or put another way, initiate language of the left, they believe the election is rigged for them. That way when they ‘win’, they can implement the policies with the plausible idea that the majority of the people actually voted for them and face less resistance.

For those that remember several of James O’Keefe’s hidden cam reveals of Democrat politicians, there was a solid theme back in 2020 and 2016. The leftist candidates would all lie about what they wanted, but talking to volunteers and campaign staff, they were of course open about their real intentions. Those elections were only fraudulent then, in the sense that the candidates were not honest in order to trick people into voting for them. Then they would move policy leftwards.

Full text:

Every word is James Talarico’s. 27 clips. 4 minutes. 2019–2026. “God is non-binary.” “…many more than two biological sexes. In fact, there are six.” “If you deny your child’s gender identity… it’s abusive for sure.” “There’s only one person who can determine a child’s gender identity, and that’s the child.” “I want to acknowledge that our trans community needs abortion care too.” “…the bill that would have denied gender-affirming health care to trans children… All these ideologies stem from this Christofascism movement.” “The way I fought for trans kids in the legislature is how I will fight for the U.S. Senate, and my position hasn’t changed.” “Prophetic voices like Jesus have helped me reckon with my own whiteness.” “It’s always rich to me that defund the police is considered off limits…” “Prison is violence.” “Tear down this secret police force.” Assault weapons ban? “Absolutely.” Send this to 10 Texas voters and tell them to vote today.

But when someone is this open about their intentions, and it should be obvious, perhaps especially in Texas that they could not be elected with this platform, it makes one suspect that they have machinery in place to help assure an electoral victory beyond the one person one vote model.

Leonard Cohen in 2009 describes writing in a nascent communist Canada/West

I thought this description, and Cohen’s repeated use of the term, “Slogan” to be very interesting. Especially back in 2009: He describes how various political slogans dramatically affects how and what artists can write and say.

In the following video, Counter-spell group discusses how what we call, Political Warfare, which appears to be what Cohen describes as ‘slogans’ is really a much older method of control of the public called, “Spell-craft”.

It’s a fascinating video and explains a great deal of modern political phenomenon. Specifically how nearly all of entire populations will, for example, inject themselves multiple times with untested gene therapy even though it should have been obvious to all of them, that all they were told about the disease and the shots were transparent lies. Nothing which has never been tested can be known to be “safe and effective” for example. So we know it was a lier.

At VladTepes we think of this kind of spell-craft as ‘incantations’. Repeat it enough and it has an effect on people. It becomes an instruction.

Looking at the Alberta Referendum and Carney’s secret deal with the EU leaked?

Comment by JU:

The engineered failure of Europe will be accelerated by the engineered failure of its energy supplies. EU climate management rules (aka Lysenko-like scientism) will continue to decarbonize (and deindustrialize) that continent into ultimate submission to the Comintern. Meanwhile, Mark Carney annexes Canada to Europe so to be the arbiter of valued Canadian natural resources, and subprime human capital, between continents. Brookfield Asset management, Carney’s company, will broker carbon credits to profit from the interstitial ideological lunacy these credits represent. Brookfield has also moved into the heat pump space promoted by Carney for all Canadian households. Heat pumps also occupy the interstitial space between modest effectiveness and freezing solid in the Canadian cold, the former being a lousy gamble even in air-conditioning mode.

Meanwhile, Red China very cleverly creates a conversion mechanism for its non-fungible currency, the Yuan, by creating a clearing house in Hong Kong through which it will launder Yuan for gold. This is mafia-style economics while wearing sovereign suits.

HIs comment contains links to two video. The salient bit of one of them is this Western Standard article about a leaked deal Carney made with the EU which at least on the surface may be some kind of deal to benefit Brookfield. But given that Carney states in his book that his role models are Marx, Engles and Lenin, and that he considers the problems of the West to be derived from ‘Capitalism’, an analysis that fits better would look more like anything that moves power away from the people of the region being ruled, and ideally to unknown, faceless all powerful bureaucrats as far away as possible so that the public actually have no chance of changing how things work in their day to day lives. Central planning don’t ya know. Canadian mineral and other natural resources will be planned and managed by the Communist EU and the CCP. And Canada will make scarcity very well. Which after all, is the only product that socialism always delivers on time.

From The Western Standard:

Canadians are being sold “associate membership” in the European Union without being told what it means or what Ottawa has already offered Brussels in the backrooms. A recent Nanos poll found significant support for the idea among Canadians. Were respondents shown the leaked document Ottawa drafted for discussions with Brussels, given a clear definition of associate membership, or reminded that Canada already has comprehensive trade and defence agreements with the EU? No. 

While Mark Carney tells Canadians and Albertans that Confederation rests on sovereignty, consultation, and strong provincial partners, the document his government sent to Brussels in September tells a different story: Ottawa is prepared to bargain away pieces of that sovereignty without consulting the people and provinces that hold it. Albertans who still believe the federation will protect their resources, their industries, and their constitutional powers may not have much time left to decide whether staying is worth the risk of closer EU alignment.

Albertans who still believe the federation will protect their resources, their industries, and their constitutional powers may not have much time left to decide whether staying is worth the risk of closer EU alignment.

Lastly, while it is true that Alberta’s cities, Calgary and Edmonton, like all big cities now are far to the left of reality, (a luxury people who live far from the farms and factories that make all the stuff they consume can enjoy temporarily) one may still question how well Monday’s referendum was conducted. And the fact that they allowed mail in ballots, I believe half a million of them, may suggest a planned outcome by the provincial apparatus, since mail ins tend to always favour the collectivist options on any vote.

Asking BRAVE’s AI on the numbers: “519,082 special mail-in ballots were received and counted in Alberta’s October 19, 2026 referendum. This figure represented a tenfold increase compared to the 2023 provincial election and accounted for approximately 43% of the province’s eligible voters, who had already cast their votes before the main election day.”

I asked a follow up: ‘Is it known which way the mail ins were counted? For me at least, the answer raises an eyebrow. Actually high enough to catch in your hat.

There’s no official breakdown by voting method — Elections Alberta reports results by riding and by question, but not separately for mail-in vs. in-person ballots. The special ballots are counted at the same facility and reported alongside in-person ballots.

What is known is a striking participation pattern: mail-in voters were heavily concentrated on Question 10 (the separation question). As one analysis noted, “almost all the mail-in ballots appear to have only answered question 10.” The numbers back this up — Q10 drew roughly 1.9 million votes, while the other nine questions each had participation ranging from only 1 to 1.5 million. Since each question is on a separate ballot and voters can choose to answer any subset, many mail-in voters apparently marked only the separation ballot.

This disparity fueled online speculation of fraud (e.g., claims that Q10 had “38% more votes than actual eligible voters”), which Elections Alberta and analysts have dismissed. The explanation is that the special ballot option was newly unrestricted for the first time, and many of the 519,000+ mail-in voters were specifically motivated by the separation question rather than all ten issues.

As for the direction of mail-in votes on Q10 (remain vs. separate), that’s not publicly broken out. The overall result was ~75% remain / ~24% separate, but you can’t tell from the public data how that split looked among mail-in voters specifically.

We already know the Fed Guv has no ethics, morals or concerns about the law or constitution. Anyone who does not already know that, please go back to listening to CBC. You will find it much more comforting than this site. We know that The Rebel already busted some interference with the referendum for the remain side:

https://www.rebelnews.com/alberta_fact_check_elections_alberta_confirms_lukaszuks_forever_canada_petition_was_always_a_referendum_campaign

https://www.rebelnews.com/alberta_fact_check_is_thomas_lukaszuks_organization_operating_legally_during_a_referendum_campaign

Search Rebel News for more on Thomas Lukaszuk if you want.

So the patters reads:

Federal Government does the opposite of enforce border control and immigration laws.

Federal Government does the opposite of protect individual rights and has now passed a LOT of legislation which de jure actually makes the state the controller of the most fundamental of basic rights. Like bill C4, criminalizing parents if they try and talk their own children out of being spayed or neutered at the suggestion of a teacher or whatever other state agent.

Federal Government invoked the Emergency Measures Act, technically the renamed, War Measures Act (in retrospect one wonders if they did not rename it because they expected serious conflict to come from Canadians against the nascent communist state rather than external threats?) in order to quell the Freedom Convoy. An event which at least one brave federal Judge actually ruled was unconstitutional.

So its not much of a stretch to believe the same state government would interfere with a Provincial election where the main issue was the sovereignty of the people in Alberta, the most wealthy province in Canada since Newfoundland farmed out all the lobsters.

Weird about those mail ins only having time to mark question 10 isn’t it? It’s almost like there were far fewer voters than ballots or something.

New book club at Carlton features work on Jihad by the Ayatollah Khomeini, Trans-refugees to Holland get bitter pill and Eric Zemmour calls it as it is: Links 1 for Oct. 20, 2026

1. Eric Zemmour is in a rare class along with Geert Wilders. Someone who is not Muslim, and manages to speak the truth about Islam and related issues publicly and still has a pulse.

2. Probably most people don’t remember Bruce Bawer. He was a very early example of an American leftist who decided that as a gay man in New York, he was sick of the racism and persecution he faced in America because of his sexual orientation. So he decided to move to the Netherlands, where he imagined life would be paradisiacal for homosexuals. Subsequently he wrote an exceptional book called, While Europe Slept about how in fact Islamic immigration had made things so much worse for gay men than in the US that he had to leave the Netherlands after a few severe beatings. He also went on to reevaluate how he viewed the US as a culture altogether and started touring, speaking about how in Fact, the US was the only culture that made any sense from a more or less libertarian perspective. This book was published on Sept. 11, 2007. And unfortunately, what might be called the sexual-orientation branch of the military colonists spearheading that component of the communist revolution did not get the memo. In fact Bruce was shunned from the organized branches of that component of the intersectional alliance against “capitalism”.

yesterday, Gates of Vienna published a very interesting account of another American, a ‘trans’ person from San Francisco, who, if you can believe it, decided to declare “refugee status” in the Netherlands. You can guess how it went, but it’s a short and excellent read. Please click through.

For those interested, this is Bruce Bawer’s talk in Ottawa from 2009. back then, YouTube had a 15 minute limit for videos so it was initially done in 4 parts but we put it back together as one video here now.

3. Carleton University has authorized a new book club, and tonight’s reading is of a book by the Ayatollah Khomeini, the leader of the Islamic revolution that turned a thriving and happy Persia back to a near Medieval Islamic Iran back in the 70s. And one thing we can say about the Ayatollah, is he is very honest about Islam. In tonight’s book club reading they have chosen his book, The Greatest Jihad.

Now many people who have had a brief look at the concept of Jihad likely think it’s about an inner struggle for self betterment. Well… that’s kinda true. But what constitutes self betterment in Islam is of course, the Islamic concept of better. Which is not the Western one.

People who look a little deeper may find that there are two forms of Jihad, The greater, which is the self betterment kind, and the lesser, which is waging war on the unbeliever till all the world is for Allah and Islam is all there is for religious devotion.

In the book, Jihad al Akbar, The Greatest Jihad, the Ayatollah actually explains what the Greater Jihad actually means. Or more precisely what self improvement means in Islam:

With love of self and position, with arrogance and pride, you cannot mount any resistance. An evil scholar, a scholar who inclines toward the world, a scholar who thinks of preserving his position and administrative post, will not be able to combat the enemies of Islam. He will be more harmful than others. Take a step for the sake of God. Dispel the love of the world from your heart. Then you will be able to engage in combat.

From this moment on, develop and raise this point in your heart, that I must be an armed soldier of Islam, and sacrifice myself for Islam. I must work for Islam until I am destroyed. Do not make excuse for yourself that today is inappropriate. Try to be useful for the future of Islam. In short, become a human being! The colonialists are afraid of human beings. They are afraid of man. The colonialists, who want to plunder all we have, will not allow the training of human beings in religious and scholarly universities.

OK so now we know. The Greater Jihad means to become more authentically Muslim. To lose your love of the world and prepare yourself to die fighting the lesser jihad, killing infidels. Finally this all makes sense. As I say, nothing more useful than an honest Muslim leader. We felt pretty much the same way about Anjem Chaudary.

Then there are Khomeini’s speeches and writings from the 1940s where he was pretty clear about his views, which are ones the naive or those not paying attention would imagine the left might oppose.

“Islam makes it incumbent on all adult males, provided they are not disabled and incapacitated, to prepare themselves for the conquest of other countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world. But those who study Islamic Holy War will understand why Islam wants to conquer the whole world.”
This is one that should resonate with Islam’s useful idiots in the West:
“Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those who say this are witless. Islam says: Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all! Does this mean that Muslims should sit back until they are devoured by the unbelievers? Islam says: Kill them, put them to the sword and scatter their armies. Does this mean sitting back until [non-Muslims] overcome us? Islam says: Kill in the service of Allah those who may want to kill you! Does this mean that we should surrender [to the enemy]? Islam says: Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to paradise, which can be opened only for holy warriors! There are hundreds of other Koranic psalms and hadiths urging Muslims to value war and to fight. Does all that mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.”

It would be interesting to know what kind of clubs have been refused by Carleton U. Maybe none. But I bet anti-Abortionists are not allowed on campus at all, let alone to start a pro-life club there.

Actually yeah. Predictably, there is quite a record of selective denial of club status:

Well-documented case involving a pro-life club at Carleton University in Ottawa.

The group was Carleton Lifeline. The Carleton University Students’ Association (CUSA) repeatedly restricted or denied it official club status because of its anti-abortion stance.? From the National post

2006: CUSA passed a policy stating that no resources, space, recognition, or funding would be allocated for activities seeking to “limit or remove a woman’s right to choose.” This effectively barred pro-life groups from official club status. Carleton Lifeline was targeted.? From CBC

2010: After members set up a graphic Genocide Awareness Project display (comparing abortion to the Holocaust and other atrocities), several students were arrested for trespassing. Campus security and Ottawa police intervened when the group refused to confine the display to a designated indoor area. Shortly afterward, CUSA decertified Carleton Lifeline. The association said the club’s constitution (which described abortion as a “moral and legal wrong” and called for legal protection of the unborn) violated its anti-discrimination policy. Lifeline was told it could regain status only by amending its constitution to affirm a woman’s right to choose.? National Post

CUSA upheld the decision. The club pursued legal options, including a lawsuit against the university administration (alleging discrimination and unequal treatment of displays) and a judicial review of the student association’s actions.? From Lifesite news
By around 2012–2013, CUSA revised its policy and Carleton Lifeline was later re-certified as a club.?
The university administration was not always identical in position to CUSA. In the 2006 episode, for example, the university stated it was not bound by the student association’s decision and would still allow groups to book space under existing policies (with possible restrictions on graphic images handled case-by-case).?

These events were widely covered at the time by outlets including the National Post, Globe and Mail, CBC, Maclean’s, and LifeSiteNews, and they sparked broader debate in Canada about free speech and student-union policies on campus. No equally prominent recent (post-2013) denials of pro-life or similar clubs at Carleton appear in the main reporting.

So that all makes sense. And is perfectly consistent with the new revolutionary Canada.

Reader’s Links for Oct. 20th, 2026

Each day at just after midnight Eastern, a post like this one is created for contributors and readers of this site to upload news links and video links on the issues that concern this site. Most notably, Islam and its effects on Classical Civilization, and various forms of leftism from Soviet era communism, to postmodernism and all the flavours of galloping statism and totalitarianism such as Nazism and Fascism which are increasingly snuffing out the classical liberalism which created our near, miraculous civilization the West has been building since the time of Socrates.

This document was written around the time this site was created, for those who wish to understand what this site is about. And while our understanding of the world and events has grown since then, the basic ideas remain sound and true to the purpose.

So please post all links, thoughts and ideas that you feel will benefit the readers of this site to the comments under this post each day. And thank you all for your contributions.

This is the new Samizdat. We must use it while we can.

For those interested, please check out https://vladtepesblog.substack.com/ as an another avenue of expression. The Substack is a different project in a sense. It is older videos that in the light of subsequent events, look different or of increased importance, Check it out now and again if you like. But use it safely.

ADDENDUM: 

This site operates more at the philosophical level of the communist/Islamic revolution which is obliterating Western Civilization. Politics, culture, law are all down stream from philosophy. Understanding the philosophy of the attack is to understand what is an attack and develop tactics, both individually and collectively against them. The attack comes entirely (so far) in the form of Dialectics. To understand dialectics, watch and read everything you can by Maj. (Ret.) Stephen Coughlin.

Here is a repost of the simplest explanation, or at least the shortest one, we have been able to think of so far (Placed here by request)

We as humans communicate mostly via conventions. In other words, we decide what a word means by what we, as a culture want it to mean, then fix the term as a convention via a dictionary

or other means so we can express what we want to each other and be understood. It’s a group process more or less but based on what we want expressions, words, concepts and taxonomy to mean.

Dialectics is the imposition of meaning on existing terms for a political outcome which is destructive to what we all consider meaning. It is a complete hijacking of Meaning.

This also applies to taxonomy. The most underrated aspect of epistemology. Of how we see ourselves. Of how we understand the world, via categories. Via labels.

Dialectical taxonomy is what forces us to change everything we think about sexuality and accept political sexuality such as the Trans-movement.

Or somehow convincing everyone that the German National Socialist Worker’s Party is somehow “far right wing”, which may be the most masterful dialectical con of the 20th century.

This deserves a proper essay. But I just want to get the thought out there.

Imposing, forcing meaning on us. Changing terms to mean what a group of tyrants what us to think they mean as opposed to what they do mean and more or less always have meant.

Making words mean something other than what we meant them to mean, then banning or criminalizing them because of their imputed meaning, even though they were good, useful terms that helped hold our culture together.

Attacking us for using perfectly good words with important meanings, then telling us what we meant by what we said, then cancelling us for it in the pre-revolutionary stage, and now in the UK outright arrest you now that the revolution is all but complete.

That is dialectics.

Getting it wrong on France, Spain and elsewhere – Who is really to blame?

First, let’s look at some material from Ottawa’s Freedom Convoy of 2022. A couple of things to take note of. They had street cleaning patrols. The streets were cleaner during the Freedom Convoy than the rest of the year before and after the Convoy.
Also crime went DOWN. Several Canadian military Veterans patrolled the Cenotaph at police request as well as the War Memorial on Elgin 24/7 to see that it was kept safe and clean. For this, some like Jeff Evely, where actually arrested, tried, and banned from entering Ottawa for quite a while.

Here is a HEAVILY sanitized CBC propaganda clip on the wierd, anonymized police used to attack the Freedom Convoy using the now officially illegal and unconstitutional Emergency Measures act:

CBC lies like a rug on this of course, making claims about Children used as human shields while actual live footage at the time showed nothing of the sort. Also CBC doesn’t show police pulling people out of trucks and beating them and leaving them cuffed in horrible positions in the -30C weather for extended periods.

Here is a little footage of the militarized anonymized police attack on the protestors on Feb. 18, 2022

There is aa lot more footage of the police abuse of peaceful protestors from that day. If you search YouTube or X though, you get enemy propaganda clips from CBC, CTV and Global with framing that is the opposite of what actually took place. Which should be no surprise to anyone who finds themselves reading this site.

So what does this have to do with France today? I mean, France and Canada, they are different countries. Right?

No. They aren’t. The West for the most part is under one supranational and transnational set of diktats. From the UN, the EU, and the WEF as well as the Fabians and other orgs we haven’t heard of. The Known unknowns. And really, what did they do at those Bilderberg meetings?

The plan is the same for all these countries, including the United States, although Trump put a brake on aspects of the planned demolition of the West by re-taking the borders. Which explains why there was I think, 5 or 6 attempts to murder him that we know of so far. He is a genuine obstacle to the new COMINTERN plot to destroy the West.

Now compare that to the total lack of response by the French state to these profoundly destructive revolutionary riots, largely by people who have no actual justification even for being in France in the De Jure sense. De facto, the state brought them in, and the state knew with certainty that they would do this exact thing. Remember when Notre Dame was burned down? It was an early narrative much like Covid. The ancient Oak beams used in the ceiling of the Cathedral apparently caught fire from a cigarette from a worker doing renovations. Only we spoke to a number of carpenters and contractors, all of which said that the older the oak, the harder it is to light and centuries old oak would need actual thermite to get it lit.

In fact here is a demonstration of just how hard it is to light old oak beams. The older, the more fire resistant it is.

France also banned or destroyed stockpiles of Hydroxychloroquine when in vivo use showed it would save people’s lives who had 1st gen Covid. They lied about the fire at Notre Dame. They utterly and completely failed to send an appropriate response to the revolution taking place on the streets this past week or more, and in contrast, Canada sent a response that was orders of magnitude greater than the situation called for in 2022. And why? Because those were legacy Canadians demanding the rights they had before the communist revolutionaries who actually run things now took over. And to make the revolution complete, they need to import millions who hate us and feel entitled to everything that we built, and at a certain point, let them or make them assert their dominance.

Covid, Notre Dame, the mRNA mandatory injections along with lockdowns and masks, Islamophobia narratives, Global Warming and an easy ten or more mass line narrative attacks used to destroy Western Civilization are nearing the end of their usefulness. Or better stated, they won’t need those kind of narratives anymore. In France and in Spain, its open street warfare by imported young male mostly Muslim migrants against an aging (thanks to feminism and leftist anti-family narrative attacks) and unarmed population. Also thanks to leftist narratives that the public should not be armed.

Last night there was this:

The four Olds of Mao: old ideas, old culture, old customs, and old habits

These are clearly under attack.

Here is Grok’s analysis of the way Churches were described in Orwell’s 1984:

In George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, the old churches of London no longer serve any religious purpose. Organized religion has effectively disappeared under the Party, and the surviving church buildings have been either ruined or repurposed.?Online.flipbuilder

The clearest references come in Book One, Chapter 8, when Winston visits Mr. Charrington’s junk shop and sees an engraving of what he recognizes as a building near the Law Courts:

St. Clement’s Danes was bombed years earlier and is now a ruin. Winston had not known it had once been a church.
Mr. Charrington tells him, “There’s a lot of them left, really… though they’ve been put to other uses.”
St. Martin’s-in-the-Fields (still standing in Victory Square, the former Trafalgar Square) has been turned into a museum for propaganda displays—scale models of rocket bombs and Floating Fortresses, waxwork tableaux of enemy atrocities, and similar exhibits.?Rvb
Winston has never heard church bells ring in his lifetime. The old children’s rhyme beginning “Oranges and lemons, say the bells of St. Clement’s…” survives only as a half-remembered fragment among the elderly proles, evoking a lost London whose steeples are now “ghostly” and silent.

Later in the novel, Winston and Julia also meet in the belfry of a ruined church in the countryside, another example of these buildings existing only as empty shells of the past.

In short, the Party has erased the churches’ original function. What remains are ruins, state museums for war propaganda, or other non-religious uses, while the history of the buildings themselves has been obscured or rewritten so that the pre-revolutionary past cannot be reliably recovered from them.

We are watching the communist destruction of the West at end game. For now, the Churches will be replaced with mosques. Communists likely imagine that the Mosques are a temporary tactic to destroy Christianity and Judaism/Jews, and then the revolution will destroy them as well. but it won’t work out that way. The dialectical con of making people forget who they are, and stop defending themselves and resort to tribalism and attack each other over every conceivable issue, real or imagined, worked against Western people very well. We tribalized over every issue to the point that people will support politicians over only one issue like abortion, while letting everything else go right to hell. The Muslims don’t do that. They vote in blocks for one thing only. The advancement of Islam and Sharia. And even some of the more enlightened people do not yet understand or care about the threat this represents.

Main stream media is not covering the end of France, or even if it is just unprecedented rioting and destruction, at most it gets an en passant reference as “students upset about insufficient funding” or other narrative mass lines. But those watching on social media still do not get it. They lament, “Oh why did they let those immigrants in! Look at what they are doing! The French state is so stupid!”

Nope.

The French state bought them in to do exactly what they are doing. It’s a bitter pill to swallow. If you like, it is Hanlon’s Razor at scale. This is the public insisting to themselves that it is incompetence when it is indeed malice. Everything points to it going back to every leftist narrative that has been destructive to Western culture, civilization and nations. From Feminism to acid rain to global warming to making abortion a sacrament, gay marriage, the trans-narrative, right up to the Gaza ‘genocide’ each of which is to split the Western legacy population and culture into tribes and have us war with each other while Muslims, united in their doctrinal and violent hatred of all that is not ruled by sharia, gain dominance,.

[necessary addendum] We do not oppose homosexuals living under any arrangement they want. We believe in personal liberty. However marriage meant something specific and was for the betterment of the family. Something gay people cannot make, (or at least not by accident.) Civil Unions would have been a real solution to a minor-problem. But instead they chose to make the solution one which would deconstruct a central pillar of Western civilization. Redefining marriage to mean 2 men or 2 women, which then meant that marriage means nothing at all and now, depending on where, can mean whatever people want it to mean, so it means nothing and fewer and fewer people will commit to it. Especially men since, well frankly it is insane given the power imbalance to women today. So the issue is not removing rights from homosexuals, It is not using homosexual arrangements as a wrecking ball against the pillars of civilization.
