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. CHANNEL PRAVDA – The young man who was radicalised until Prevent prised him away from the far-right extremists

    The far right poses a terrorist threat and is being under-estimated.

    These are the words of a former member of an extreme right-wing group who is now working for a government scheme which aims to de-radicalise people. We have been speaking to one young man who was groomed as a schoolboy by extremists.

      […]Religious extremism still a main concern

      Vigneault said the main threat concern for intelligence and law enforcement in Canada continues to be violent extremism, often tied to religious beliefs.

      “Traditionally, in the last number of years we’ve seen that form of extremism leading to violence being people invoking religion, Islam,” he said.

      Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland tells Conservative Senator Leo Housakos she believes white supremacy is a threat to western liberal democracy.

      The issue of white supremacy as a security threat came up at another Senate committee hearing a day earlier.

      While questioning Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland, Conservative Sen. Leo Housakos went after her claim that white supremacy is one of the biggest risks facing Western democracies.

      “You have said that white supremacy is one of the agents that you think are of the biggest risk to our Western democracies, and with all due respect minister, I think that flies in the face of reality over the last two decades,” he said.

      “I would find it disturbing to believe that there is a politician in this country that believes that white supremacy is a threat to our way of life in Canada, to our communities, to our democracy”

      Freeland said she “absolutely” believes white supremacist activity poses a danger to Canadians.

      “I think they are a grave and real threat here in Canada and they are a grave threat in many other countries around the world,” she said.

      “I absolutely believe we need to name that threat. We need to be aware of it and we need to work hard to find ways to protect our societies and our people from it.

      “And I would add, senator, that of course Islamic extremist terrorism is and has been a great threat. And Canada and Canadian men and women in uniform have gone out and fought that threat, when there have been terrorist attacks motivated by Islamic extremism.”

      The next day, Housakos pushed back on Twitter.

      “My point remains, contrary to the attempted smears by you and your colleagues, on [Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer] no Western, democratic politician condones extremism of any kind, including white supremacy. Extremism in all forms is a threat to our way of life, not just one or the other,” he tweeted.

      “This is just another attempt by you and your government to further divide Canadians and pitting us against each other, all for your own political gain. And that’s disgusting.”

      When asked about Housakos’s remarks, Scheer said he has spoken to the senator and he clarified his remarks.

      “I 100 per cent denounce anyone who promotes racist ideology and promotes white nationalism or any type of extremism. I do believe it’s a threat in Canada,” he told reporters.

      “It is pathetic and disgusting that Liberals are inflaming these threats to divide Canadians and score cheap points.”

      Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also weighed in, tweeting that it is time for all parties to denounce hatred.

  3. DAILY MAIL – Philosopher Roger Scruton is SACKED as a government advisor for his ‘white supremacist’ views after claiming Islamophobia is a propaganda invention, all Chinese people are ‘replicas’ and George Soros has an empire in Hungary

    Government adviser Sir Roger Scruton faced fierce renewed criticism today
    In a new interview he said Islamophobia was an ‘invention’ of propaganda
    And he claimed all Chinese people had been turned into ‘replicas’ of one another
    Theresa May faced immediate demands to fire him as a housing adviser
    Scruton was sacked within hours of the racist comments being published

    […]The academic, who advised the Government on housing policy, told the New Statesman that Islamophobia was ‘a propaganda word invented by the Muslim Brotherhood in order to stop discussion of a major issue’.

    In an attack on the government in Beijing, he claimed ‘each Chinese person is a kind of replica of the next one and that is a very frightening thing’.

    And of claims Jewish billionaire George Soros wields too much influence over Europe he said: ‘Anybody who doesn’t think that there’s a Soros empire in Hungary has not observed the facts.’

    Sir Roger also rejected claims of mounting extremism in Hungary as he said ‘the Hungarians were extremely alarmed by the sudden invasion of huge tribes of Muslims from the Middle East’.

    The Prime Minister faced immediate calls to fire him as a government official today.

    […]Labour’s Shadow Women and Equalities Secretary Dawn Butler said: ‘These comments by Roger Scruton are despicable and invoke the language of white supremacists.

    ‘His claim that Islamophobia does not exist, a few weeks after the devastating attack in Christchurch, is extremely dangerous, and his defence of the prejudice stoked by Viktor Orban’s government in Hungary is appalling.
