Contributor’s Links post for January 29th, 2019

Daily Links Post graphic

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 muse use it while we can.

  1. Germany: 38,000 illegal immigrants caught by Federal Police (DW, jan 29, 2019)

    “Figures seen by DW show how many people were caught by German Federal Police after they entered the country illegally between January and November 2018. The total number of illegal arrivals is probably higher.

    More than 38,000 people were caught entering Germany illegally between January and November 2018, German Federal Police have told DW.

    Over 28,000 people entered Germany by land, with most — some 10,300 — entering from Austria.

    By comparison, some 9,270 people arrived illegally at airports and more than 1,120 people at sea ports.

    Most of the migrants were from Afghanistan, Nigeria, Iraq, Syria and Turkey.

    Figures likely too low

    The true number of illegal entries was likely higher because the figures did not include the number of people who were not caught after entering the country, police said.

    The figures were also higher for Austria because temporary border checks were most comprehensive along the German-Austria border, they added.

    The next highest number of illegal crossings was registered at Germany’s border with the Czech Republic (3,931), followed by Switzerland (3,724) and France (3,406)…”
