Reader’s Links. Oct 18, 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.

About Rubio’s Greek Speak, Turley on the coming kinetic war in the US, life in jail for jihad means a few years and parole and France is still enjoying a communist/Islamic revolution: Links 1 for October 17, 2026

About yesterday’s announcement of the Tesla supercar… this is too funny not to post. Porche launched a new model on the same day. It didn’t look good

1. On October 7th, Sec. State Rubio gave a stirring speech in Athens on the importance of Western Civilization, its origins and threats it now faces. Diana West wrote this article pointing out the two rather considerable omissions in that speech.

2. Constitutional Lawyer, Jonathan Turley: “You Better Get Ready for … War”: Socialists Call for “War in the Streets” and the End of Capitalism

“You better get ready for … war.” Across the country, radicals are openly planning for the next stage of their movement, and notably, the Democratic establishment is not part of their plans. Despite the talk of a “Big Tent Party,” socialists are riding high on a surge of support and talking purges and revolution.

In Chicago, radicals gathered for a conference on Marxism during what many view as the heyday of socialism in the United States. The Democratic Socialists of America is now larger and more powerful than at any time in our history. Socialist candidates are winning elections across the country as Democratic establishment figures from Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) to Gov. Gavin Newsom pander to the movement.

Speakers in Chicago used the conference to push supporters to the next stage in the movement, including some openly calling for violence and the end to capitalism.

University of California Santa Barbara History Professor Butch Ware said Democrats “must be destroyed” and urged attendees to be ready for “war in the streets.” Notably, in postings on X, Ware has said that candidates such as New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed are too restrained and are being pushed by the establishment “to contain radicalism.”

The professor “of Africa and Islam” whose faculty page is appropriately found under “bware” is the latest radical to dismiss the “Big Tent Party” rhetoric of establishment figures like Schumer. He declared, “The Democrats cannot be reasoned with. They must be destroyed.” There is little subtlety in the message, Ware has explained: “You cannot call yourself a revolutionary and not be talking about training with weapons.”

It is another example of the delusion that establishment Democrats have that they will be able to use these radicals to destroy their political enemies but not themselves.

3. Toronto 18 jihadi terror boss granted full parole

The Parole Board of Canada says the would-be terrorist who planned to bomb CSIS no longer shows signs of extremism

A ringleader of the failed Toronto 18 terror plot has been granted full parole after the Parole Board of Canada concluded he no longer shows “any signs of holding onto extremist beliefs or radical ideologies.”

Zakaria Amara helped recruit members of a group that planned to storm Parliament Hill and bomb several places across Toronto. He’s been on day parole with multiple conditions for the past four years, and the board moved his release forward after they reviewed his case last week.

The two-member panel says Amara, 41, demonstrated “positive change, both in attitude and behaviour” after taking a deradicalization process while he was in jail. The panel’s decision, which included redactions, says Amara wants to live in his own home, work a full-time job, attend a mosque, see family and participate in “appropriate leisure activities.”

It gets depressing to have to say these things. But saying he shows no signs of extremism means they don’t even stop to think for a second, “extremism of what exactly?” Also that he just wants to go to a mosque. There is not a single mosque that does not preach from Koran and Hadiths that demand total global Islamic manifest destiny. The prayer against Jews and Christians, Koran 1:7, is repeated at least 7 times a day in every mosque. Read the article linked above to the Sun. Life in Prison for a mass casualty plan now means a few years inside and then parole to go back to the same ideology that put you there. Until people realize that Islam is the problem, and this is so easily demonstrated by its history, its canonical teachings, modern events taking place across the non-Islamic world and sermons within mosques world wide, not to mention published documents by the most authoritative Muslims in the world such as Tantawi, we don’t stand a chance.

“The problem with Islamic fundamentalism is the fundamentals of Islam”. -Sam Harris.

4. I don’t think the importance of this can be overstated. Not only have national borders been utterly negated, they have been reversed. Our state, not our government in any usual sense but Carney, the EU, China and the WEF etc. which are the true rulers of Canadians and creators of policy, have reversed the borders and are actively bringing in millions of unvetted migrants from parts of the world who have radically different values than classical Canada does. The seeming hypocrisy is so large it can’t be properly described to those who choose not to look without those who are simply stating facts in evidence seeming to be complete lunatics or ‘conspiracy nuts’. This is the demoralization Yuri Bezmenov speaks about of course.

5. Is Hollywood pivoting away from Global Warming back to Nuclear Winter, or at least a variant of it? One may think so, especially as they use gay and authoritative black people to explain it to us. Is this just a random disaster movie plot? or a new mass line narrative attack/active measure. It would be interesting to watch people deeply committed to Anthropogenic Global Warming pivot back to Nuclear winter if we hadn’t already seen it happen from Nuclear Winter to Global warming. Maybe once they clear the snow off their solar panels and save up enough trickle power to watch TV they may change narratives. The one thing that is true though, is that colder temperatures, even by a couple of degrees, means real disaster. Mass starvation and death. If Global Warming was real, that would actually create better conditions for life on Earth.

6. Here is an hour and change of recent footage of the communist-Islamic revolution in France. May as well call it what it is or it makes no sense at all. RAIR details it here.

UK at end game, border guard leaks: Links 1 for Oct. 16, 2026

1. Worthy podcast by Raymond Ibrahim. In this 80 minute podcast, Raymond actually goes in to a lot of the detail about Islamic beliefs which are important to know for those who actually are trying to understand it for the purposes of debate or any other. There are certain islamic ubiquitously used deceptions Muslims use when trying to convince or assuage peoples fears about Islam which are addressed here. For example, Muslims often say they worship Jesus as well. But of course it’s a totally rewritten Jesus for Islamic purposes, and bears no relation to the Christian or Biblical Jesus. But he explains in detail that according to islamic eschatology, when Jesus returns he comes to abrogate one of the three choices Islam gives to the unbeliever nations and states. Namely convert, pay the Jizya tax in a humiliating way, or die in jihad wars. When Jesus returns, the Jizya options are abrogated and Christians are faced with convert or die.

2. The UK is at endgame.

3. People know about this I’m sure, and opinions about it are 100% predictable. Canadians and others with TDS will pretend that this was only done for political revenge or some other purpose by Trump despite the fact the investigation started under Biden. Those of us that have followed her and the rest of the DemocRAT pack already knew much of her criminal activities, and I bet there are billions in money laundering and fraud via the Somali community in her state.

But this is a bit of fun ‘related’ news.

4. This talk is very important for two reasons. The first is because its both a nearly accurate description of what happened in Iran and what is happening now in Canada, across the West and very possibly even in the US, and secondly because the use of the word, “Islamism” or “Islamists” instead of Islam or Muslims moves the muzzle away from the target just enough to not actually do any good.

Actually this brings me to a second related point. The first being that there is no such thing as Islamism, Islamists or other variations that may exist which create the illusion that there is some narrow warped type of Islam that is responsible for jihad. This notion is created by a second fallacy, that Islam is in need of some kind of reformation, invoking the misunderstanding of the Protestant reformation.

The protestant reformation was the idea that the Catholic Church had strayed from its original purpose and teachings and had become corrupt. I don’t think that is much in dispute since Jesus never sold indulgences as far as I know. But the Muslims did in fact have a reformation. It was the Muslim Brotherhood. The MB DID reform Islam back to its roots in exactly the way Martin Luther did to Christianity. The difference is just that Islam is authentically an ideology of violent global manifest destiny. After WW1, Islam was somewhat domesticated. But the Ikwan (Muslim Brotherhood) returned it to its authentic and original doctrinal canon and teachings.

When you speak as this woman does, and one who at least appears to be too young to remember the Iranian revolution, started by communists and finished by Muslims, and use terms that perpetuate the myth of “Islamic Extremists” you work for the enemy whether you know it or not.

5. Here are a couple of related posts to #4.

Daniel Greenfield: Manhattan Jewish Anti-Israel Activists Try a ‘Two-State Solution’ with Hamas supporters on Oct 7

Here we see how the Islamic factor in the communist revolution is actually racing past the end game to enforce antisemitism against even Jewish useful idiots who stand with the communists. And leaping ahead here, my guess is those Jewish useful idiots will not learn from this experience. Any Jewish leftist that didn’t figure out at least the Islamic part of the equation after Oct. 7, 2026 will not ever get it. They are more loyal to their ideology than to change it based on personal consequences of them.

A group of liberal Jews opposed to Israel had invited Zohran Mamdani to an Oct 7 vigil. The vigil was supposed to show why Israel’s war on Hamas was cruel, senseless and wrong.

Instead, the vigil became an object lesson in why Israel exists and why it must fight.

Israelis for Peace, whose logo is a dove in flight, had booed marchers at Israel’s parade in New York City, and gathered at Union Square not long after the attacks to protest Israel’s military campaign against Hamas while brandishing signs like “How Many Children Is It Okay to Kill”.

By joining the small group’s vigil, Mamdani had hoped to defuse claims of antisemitism and to boost the reputation of the handful of anti-Israel activists who, contrary to the group’s name, included veteran non-Israeli activists like Rachel Timoner: best known as Schumer’s ‘rabbi’.

When Mamdani showed up, he was surrounded by more extremist clergy, including Jill Jacobs, a longtime activist who leads the T’ruah anti-Israel group, Sharon Kleinbaum, the co-founder of New York Jewish Agenda with Timoner, once accused of reciting prayers for Hamas terrorists, and Ellen Lippmann, an activist in a series of radical anti-Israel groups including T’ruah, J Street and Jews for Racial and Economic Justice. None of them were actually ‘Israelis’.

Please read the rest at the source. It will flesh out the Iranian revolution in important ways. Also this Prof. Jonathon Turley article about how the US left is now openly calling for violent revolution to overthrow “capitalism” and Democrats. Worth the read. For Canadians, it is worth asking oneself what would happen if any non-Communist wrote an article asking non-communists or non-Muslims to even just prepare themselves for violent revolution with a potentially violent response. It would certainly be reframed for your court case into something else. Related to all this, is this interview with a Spanish Border guard whistle blower. He explains how the Spanish state and media is part and parcel of the invasion of Spain by the Moroccan military along with what Daniel Greenfield in many articles calls, “Military Colonists”.

Military Colonists are what you see now at many hotel chains across the West, as our government now is bringing in uncounted thousands of military age men mixed with trained military personnel for a purpose people simply cannot let themselves believe.

Here is a partner article to the Spanish Whistleblower linked above. This one from Manchester UK:

Here are 6 of the 21 questions. The whole interview can be read at the source link.

COMPLETE INTERVIEW — ALL 21 QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Q1: Thank you for agreeing to meet with me. Please tell me a little bit about yourself.

A: I hold a position within Border Control based at Manchester Airport. We report to a Regional Director, who then reports directly to the Director General of Border Control and Immigration, who then of course reports directly to the Home Secretary.

Q2: How long have you been with Border Control?

A: I have been with Border Control for twenty?one years, which includes service with Customs as well. I have worked at various locations, but I have been based at Manchester Airport for the last six years.

Q3: You’ve been with Border Control for a long time — tell me a little bit about the role that you undertake.

A: We have a quite diverse operation. This includes Immigration — checking that those who come into our country are legally allowed to be here, and checking their visa status. But we also look at packages and carry out Customs checks on all items. We look for any unusual shipments — ranging from contraband, Class A drugs, to weapons. In fact, we look for anything that should not be legally brought into the UK.

Q4: It sounds like quite a diverse and exciting role.

A: Well, not really. It becomes more of a standard job — you go to work, you come home, you relax, and you go back to work again. It sounds exciting, but it’s not — because a lot of it is process?driven, and in the main it can be quite mundane. However, what does get complicated is the way that we report our findings through to senior management. We have had a lot of issues in the past, and I believe that Manchester Airport is one of the most poor?performing airports in the UK — long queues, slow processing — simply down to lack of personnel and management structure.

Q5: I understand. So tell me — why have you approached us with information you feel is important for the public to hear?

A: I’ve come to you because I’ve watched your work over the last four or five years. Often you just don’t know who to trust. However, watching what you do — and seeing the information you put in the public domain — it’s clear that you have an understanding, honesty, and respect for what is right and wrong, morally and ethically, in our country. I find it difficult to understand how the mainstream media doesn’t pick this up — and it’s left to people like you to try and give it publicity. I do not trust any mainstream media outlets — including GB News.

Q6: So tell me — why don’t you trust the mainstream media?

A: Quite clearly, they have an agenda. They push a political narrative which is promoted by the Government. You have to be a fool not to see that clearly. But also — the likes of GB News pick up stories, and I would call them “fake patriots” — people who have their own agenda, often for financial gain or worse — they could just be a mouthpiece for the Government. That’s why it’s difficult to trust even the so?called alternative media. A lot of my colleagues just laugh about it — watching the news report almost unilaterally pushing one single message. And what really irritates me most is those people who call themselves “patriots” — who clearly demonstrate they haven’t got a clue — apart from how to fill their own pockets.

Italian city enjoys new Sharia council and courts

1. Article at RAIR Foundation: Sharia courts created and operating in Italy. This is not an extremist thing. This is not a rare thing. This is the sole purpose and intention of Islam. There is no division between sharia law and its implementation and islam. Islam is sharia, and Sharia is Islam. Actually don’t listen to me saying it. Listen to the Turkish Islamic leader Erdogan:

And in case you think that is just a political leader speaking to his own crowd, maybe listen to Dr. Haitham al-Haddad. And in case you think he is just another bearded wierdy he is:

PhD in Islamic Jurisprudence (SOAS, University of London, thesis submitted 2010) – Focused on “A Critical Analysis of Selected Aspects of Sunni Muslim Minority Fiqh, with Particular Reference to Contemporary Britain.”?

Bachelor’s degree in Shar?‘ah and Law – From the University of Omdurman, Sudan.?Islam21c

Degree in Engineering / BSc (Computer Science or related) – From King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) in Saudi Arabia.?Islam21c

He also studied ‘Islamic sciences’ for many years under scholars including the late Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia Shaykh Abdul-Aziz ibn Baz, holds classical ij?z?t, and has long served as a judge/jurist on UK and European Islamic Sharia councils (e.g., Islamic Council of Europe).?

Therefore:

Anyone who is enjoying a massively growing islamic presence in your nations, cities, towns and neighbourhoods can expect an increase in sharia law observance, firstly by the faithful, and then enforced sharia against the legacy populations and cultures of those same cities, towns and neighbourhoods. Clear? Good.

Islamic values are NOT Canadian values or any other values but Islamic.

Oct. 10th communist and Islamic coalition protest on Parliament Hill Ottawa

What is interesting is the number of Communist groups and communist groups lightly bearded like Civil Service Unions have really increased their presence at these marches. The suspicion is that Iran stopped funding them once their focus changed to defending the regime against US-Israeli attacks. But communist groups picked up some of the slack.

The article is at RAIR Foundation and has a lot of info. One thing not on film here, is the now routine arse lifting by the Muslims in front of Parliament Hil, blocking Wellington St. between the Centre Block and whatever mysterious construction is taking place below the street. But it happened. There is video of some woman being arrested, apparently for objecting to it.

Below a video of the arrest of someone alleged to object to the Street prayers. NO better video exists of the actual prayers that I can find, but you get a hint of it at the start of the one below.

“protests” and “migrants” and active measures and political warfare: Links 1 for Oct. 13, 2026

1. Moroccan Warships Breached Ceuta Waters during Invasion, Sánchez Admits 74 Days On

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez acknowledged on Monday, 12 October, that Moroccan warships had repeatedly entered Spanish territorial waters during the mass invasion of Ceuta in late July, ending 74 days of government silence over a military confrontation that unfolded alongside one of Europe’s worst migration crises.

According to El País, at least one Moroccan frigate and several patrol vessels entered waters around Ceuta without authorization on 30–31 July, as more than 80,000 illegal migrants crossed from Morocco into the Spanish enclave. The incursions continued into early August, reportedly bringing Spanish and Moroccan military vessels close to collision before Madrid deployed frigates to deter further violations.

Despite the seriousness of the confrontation, Sánchez had kept the public uninformed for more than two months. Speaking to journalists during Spain’s National Day celebrations, he dismissed the incursions as isolated incidents between neighbouring countries, emphasizing cooperation with Rabat rather than explaining why Spanish sovereignty had been violated.

There is a lot about this event that doesn’t pass the smell test. Also the fact that dozens of identified Moroccan military personnel are embedded in the invasion forces, who actively monitored Spanish security response to the invasion.

2. In the UK you are not allowed to sing Church songs off of Church grounds. Really.

The obvious juxtaposition is you can do Islamic rituals anywhere you want in the UK including illegal ones like blocking streets or random ritual slaughtering of animals. The less obvious point is that Communism and Islam both vehemently hate Christianity. In the Soviet Union they used to have street plays mocking Christian beliefs and rituals. These were state sponsored. If memory serves, the opening scenes of the Book, The Master and Margarita is a discussion between artists, a writer and some other kind, about the ‘absurdity’ of Jesus and the Biblical history of him. This was the Soviet/Marxist position. Now, Western communists use Muslims as proxy soldiers against everything Western including Christianity and very often, even to the point of burning down Churches to the ground. That is to say in the very rare case where the media actually names the person caught for burning down a church, in the also rare case that they catch a person burning down a church.

3. I am having some difficulty finding out if this translation is accurate and I want to be sure before I state it is. Many of the comments under it confirm it but I need someone fluent in French to tell me exactly what is said here and then I’ll subtitle it myself. But for the sake of argument, let’s say it is…

As Stephen C often says, “We are in a state of political warfare. Political Warfare ALWAYS becomes kinetic.”

Grok explains Political Warfare thusly:

Political warfare is the employment of all means at a nation’s command, short of open (conventional) war, to achieve its national objectives.?
This is the classic formal definition, coined by U.S. diplomat George F. Kennan (then Director of the State Department’s Policy Planning Staff) in a 4 May 1948 memorandum titled “Organizing Political Warfare.” He described it as “the logical application of Clausewitz’s doctrine in time of peace.”?
Kennan’s Full Formulation
“In broadest definition, political warfare is the employment of all the means at a nation’s command, short of war, to achieve its national objectives. Such operations are both overt and covert. They range from such overt actions as political alliances, economic measures (as ERP [the Marshall Plan]), and ‘white’ propaganda to such covert operations as clandestine support of ‘friendly’ foreign elements, ‘black’ psychological warfare and even encouragement of underground resistance in hostile states.”?History.state
Key Characteristics
Scope: It integrates diplomatic/political, informational/propaganda, economic, intelligence, and limited military/paramilitary tools.
Overt and covert: Includes open actions (alliances, sanctions, public diplomacy) and secret ones (subversion, psychological operations, support to resistance or proxies).
Intent: To impose one’s will, weaken an adversary’s cohesion or decision-making, or protect national interests—without crossing into declared conventional war.
Context: It operates in the continuum between pure peacetime statecraft and open war (often called the “gray zone” or strategic competition today).?
Congress Modern Refinements
Contemporary analyses (e.g., RAND, Congressional Research Service) retain Kennan’s core while sharpening it for current conditions:
Intentional use of one or more instruments of national power (diplomatic/political, information/cyber, military/intelligence, economic) to affect the political composition or decision-making of another state or actor.
Often (but not always) unattributed or deniable.
Distinct from, but related to, irregular warfare (which is frequently the military contribution to broader political warfare) and hybrid or gray-zone competition.?Rand
In short, political warfare is organized, competitive statecraft short of conventional war—aimed at achieving strategic political objectives through a synchronized mix of influence, pressure, subversion, and non-kinetic means.
would well organized street protests claiming to be for a civic or rational purpose but obviously really a cover for more revolutionary reasons qualify?

Yes, it can qualify, depending on the source, direction, and strategic purpose.

Under the classic Kennan definition and its modern applications, political warfare includes the intentional use of political, informational, and subversive means—short of open war—to affect another state’s political composition, decision-making, or stability. Well-organized street protests that present a civic or rational face while serving more revolutionary or regime-change ends fit several of the activities Kennan explicitly listed:

Clandestine or semi-clandestine support of “friendly” foreign elements.
Psychological warfare / propaganda (including “white,” “gray,” or “black” variants).
Encouragement of resistance or underground activity in hostile states.
Efforts to weaken an opponent’s cohesion or will without conventional military force.
When it clearly qualifies
It meets the definition when the protests are:

Directed, funded, trained, or coordinated by a foreign state (or by a non-state actor operating as an instrument of a state’s strategy).
Part of a broader campaign that uses overt messaging (“democracy,” “anti-corruption,” “human rights”) while pursuing concealed strategic objectives (destabilization, regime change, weakening an adversary’s government).
Designed to create political pressure, fracture elite cohesion, or generate international legitimacy for more radical aims.
This is essentially the logic behind many historical and contemporary cases labeled as political warfare or gray-zone activity (support for opposition movements, color-revolution-style mobilizations, proxy political fronts, etc.). The public narrative can be civic or liberal while the operational intent is more revolutionary or hostile.

When it does not automatically qualify
Purely domestic, self-organized protests—even if radical or revolutionary in character—are ordinary political struggle, activism, or the early stages of insurgency. They become political warfare in the formal sense mainly when a foreign power (or a coordinated external network acting on behalf of strategic objectives) is employing them as an instrument of influence or subversion against the target state.

Bottom line
Organized street protests used as a cover for deeper revolutionary or adversarial purposes are a classic tool within political warfare when they are instrumentally directed or supported from outside to achieve national objectives short of war. The civic framing is often part of the method, not a disqualification.

In this case though, it is likely the French state, the EU and the UN funding and promoting and organizing these massive events. However this is not the point being made.

The point is, that assuming the translation is correct, this call to murder 10 French security staff may not have been obeyed in this instance, the likelihood of it being obeyed at some point in the near future, in this round of rioting and revolutionary protests or the next or the next, approaches 100%. And once that happens it becomes 1917.

4. In Toronto that line is being edged on. This scene is clearly edited for start and end but they do include the victim’s taunt. Still, the man who attacked him was behind him and sucker punched his victim. Something stinks about all this. Was he looking for someone to attack in order to scale up the violence? In other words is he some kind of op? None of these protests are grass roots and none of them are about what they say they are about. This is critical to any kind of understanding of events today. This is political warfare for greater political purposes. And the funding and organizing comes from elsewhere. These are active measures. 

This is critical to understand. There is nothing organic about them and the proximity to the alleged cause is irrelevant. As an aside, I once met a girl who explained all about the “genocide in Gaza” to me, and while she lived in Canada, explained her Palestinian origins and that she knew, cause she had just come back from a visit to Gaza. Vacationing to the place where a genocide is taking place against your demographic tends to work against the case that it is taking place.

The event below has a bad smell. This looks like a planned escalation. Political warfare always becomes kinetic. The point de bascule appears to be near.

5. This is a Moroccan military operation, very likely supported by the UN and EU and current Spanish communist government.

Reader’s Links for Oct. 13, 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.

Two examples of MSM as enemy propaganda (but one is amazingly great news nonetheless)

1. So how great is it that Ilhan Omar has been raided this morning. I mean this is LONG overdue. We know for a fact she is guilty of any number of crimes that should have had her deported. Marrying her brother for entrance to the US. for one. Then once being an American, working 24/7 to destroy the United States as a constitutional republic. So it was amazingly satisfying to find she was the target of an early morning raid by the FBI or whatever.

But if you read it in the MSM you would think Trump was the criminal. At least you can’t blame the media for being inconsistent though. When Trump was raided, Mar a Lago etc, the media definitely made out that Trump was the criminal.

US immigration authorities raid home of Democratic Trump critic Ilhan Omar

Screenshot

As you can see from the summary, the entire article frames this as Trump doing this for political reasons. Well he damn well better have at one level because if Trump loses the mid terms, we are all screwed and there is no coming back peacefully. The Democrats will do what they did in 2020 and 2024 but orders of magnitude more authoritarian. And they will impeach Trump at breakneck speed, if not actually break necks.

Next, a much more benign example but irritating nonetheless.

First let’s watch the video

Personally I have had only one relationship conversation with someone who actually implemented this tech. And after some discussion, we landed on:

It doesn’t work well enough to depend on it, If you get this kit you had better not disconnect or dispose of your oil or natural gas heating equipment. But the main thing that makes this video so very dishonest beyond the smug look on the ‘expert’s face the whole time, is the lie that it is cheaper. At no point do they talk about the massive subsidies on all aspects of the solar and heat exchange aspect of the cost, even though this video itself is about the TWO BILLION DOLLAR rebate for getting a heat pump, but at NO POINT is the massive taxation on fossil fuels mentioned. So yeah, maybe just maybe you save money using this kit. But when the state puts its mighty thumbs under and on top of BOTH sides of the scale, to say it is cheaper is a lie of some real proportion. Gold is cheaper than lead if you subsidize its purchase by 99X and then add a 200$ a gram lead tax on all lead sales.

If anyone has direct experience with solar panels and a heat exchanger as the sole source for power, heat and air conditioning, please leave your thoughts and experience in the comments.

 

 

“Tyrants love foreigners” and other data points on the Islamic-Communist revolution overtaking the entire West: Links 1 for Oct. 12, 2026

1. Most political narratives are based on a couple of well used and seldom noticed dialectical cons. One of them of course is oppressor oppressed narratives based on invented or selectively included events. More often partially true events which are reframed for the purpose. But the other is the careful start point for a history. We posted one example yesterday, where someone complained about the French occupation of Algeria without bothering to mention the centuries of occupation of Algeria by Islamic conquistadors. The French, if anything, were liberators and had the Islamic empires not constantly and relentlessly attacked Europe in the name of Islamic global manifest destiny, the French would likely have preferred to stay at home with some eggs and a bagel. Likely not a croissant since I believe those were a tally invented in celebration of the defeat of invading Islamic forces and eating of the symbol of Islam in French baked goods seemed the way to go.

This is interesting as the man testifying in this video is one of the actual victims of oppression in the Gazan-Jordanian Middle East and actually does start his history a little farther back than the creation of Israel. This doesn’t mean we endorse ever word. It’s just an interesting different perspective. We still maintain that the Muslim Brotherhood was indeed the actual reformation in islam many people claim is needed, mistaking the Protestant Reformation as directional rather than a return to Christian theological roots. The Muslim Brotherhood was indeed a reformation and as such, a Jewish polity in Dar al Islam is intolerable to them.

2. On October. 7th this year, The Bureau did an article proving that the Oct. 7th attacks in 2023 against partygoers in Israel were in fact really about the protests that followed across the West. We have maintained that is the case since it happened, as there was no strategic value to the attack itself. It did not lessen Israeli military power, and it did not diminish Israel in anyway beyond that they got sucker punched. But the horror of the attack, the fact that Hamas used its resources to commit atrocities against its targets rather than do additional damage or reach a strategic target clearly had to be about getting a 100% predictable Israeli response and then weaponizing the response through international captured propaganda news agencies. Which they did very very well. There is video coming of some of the protest events of Oct.10th in Ottawa soon but the feature of it is really the integration of jihadist and communist language. Meanwhile though, this article from the Bureau is worth right clicking and saving to disk.

We also did an interview with Stephen Coughlin a couple of years ago where he proved the case as well. The fact that the tents and materials for the protests where made and procured BEFORE the Oct. 7th attacks should be all anyone needs to know.

In my search for the interview where Stephen explains that, I came across this one from Nov. 2024 which is related though not a bullseye but still very worth watching. It was on how Islamic and leftist protests had suddenly got much more violent around that time. I took a screenshot of one of his inserts. I hope I can commit it to memory.

If no one gets anything out of this post other than watching the interview from 2024, then it’s worth it. And Canadians, PLEASE Watch this interview and send it to everyone you know in Canada or with any interests in Canada.

3. One of the mass-line Narrative attacks I had forgotten about and did a lot of damage, was the “Overpopulation” narrative. Now I don’t want to get into whether or not there are too many people on the Earth. I’ll leave that to people who want to argue the surface level of issues. But we believe it was a mass-line because it led to such a steep decline in the birth rate and the elevation of abortion to a sacrament that the population of European and Canadian peoples are imploding. It was a classic mass line in the sense that the concept was floated down to the public, then scraped off of the public and fed back to the public as if it was their idea. From the masses to the masses, while in reality it was a state, or UN or whatever supranational leftist agency created the narrative. We can say certainly in Canada it was a mass-line because of how Stats Canada became a propaganda agency, producing a video celebrating Canada achieving a 40M people population (entirely through immigration).

Stats Canada of course, was created to be a tool of government to collect truthful data and collate it in such a way that the government of Canada, acting in the interests of the Canadian people, could set good policy based in that information. Same could be said of most of the other ministries as well. But stats Canada is the most obvious example. During Covid we saw how it was manipulated to deceive Canadians about deaths due to Covid and vaccine harms. But in this case, it is CELEBRATING a MILESTONE in POPULATION GROWTH.

This might lead to a healthy suspicion that the overpopulation narrative was indeed just that all along. We never hear about that now. It’s always narratives about “diversity is our strength” and “hate=speech” if you can see the obvious untruth in the first statement.

4. Diana West points out the state of Turin Italy, which dovetails nicely with the rest of this post.

5. There are too many Church burnings in the West to keep track of. So many that it isn’t news. We could talk about how the media would handle it if there was so much as a strip of bacon left on a Mosque stair or doorknob and the ensuing death penalty for the baconator. That would be one worthwhile track. Or how the media doesn’t seem to report on Church brings at all it seems. Search X for Church fires for some sense of the scale. The Rebel has done a good job of reporting on some within Canada.

Critics will argue that Kevin Krehan’s death penalty for porking a mosque doorknob was actually being killed in prison by a drug overdose or whatever. But he was in prison on a one year sentence because he put a strip of bacon on a mosque doorknob, and in a prison full of most likely highly observant Muslims. And it isn’t like they didn’t know why he was there. And it isn’t like the British government has been honest about, well anything for many years now.

Thank you all for checking out this site.

But PLEASE watch the video in item 2. And do send it on to Canadians who just won’t get it.
