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 must use it while we can.

    • Anyone have any bright ideas on how to share info in case of internet loss?

      Easy peasy. It’s kinda, sorta like that old “post office” game where messages get passed along from person to person. In this case, the “messenger” is any one of those people who ever thought, even just in mild speculation, of putting together all three words: “Internet. Kill. Switch.”

      The only difference being that, in this case, it’s just one person who’s getting sent around from place to place, and people pass along messages to each other by pinning them to the incompletely mutilated corpse.

  1. WOULD-BE POLICE OFFICER DENIED JOB FOR BEING A WHITE MALE WINS APPEAL
    The tribunal ruled that positive action can only be used in a so-called “tie break” situation in which two candidates for the role are equally qualified, and that did not apply in case of Mr Furlong, who has a degree in particle physics and cosmology. The would-be recruit said the experience had “completely shattered” his faith in the police recruitment system. Joe Markham

  2. HOW THE EQUALITY ACT WOULD DEVASTATE PARENTS’ ABILITY TO GET TRANS CHILDREN HELP
    A study by Lisa Littman at Brown University found that 61 percent of young adults “experienced an increased popularity within their friend group when they announced a transgender-identification.” For a socially awkward child, that acclaim can be a powerful lure. Barbara’s adolescent daughter was suicidal, had an eating disorder, started self-harming, and isolated herself for hours in her room. She had so much difficulty making friends that she switched schools three times in three years and watched YouTube videos on “How to Be Popular.” It was by “coming out” as a boy that she finally became popular. Among young people, Barbara says, “Being gay or trans is treated as edgy and creative. You are celebrated, you get a parade.” Prof Nancy Pearcey

  6. ARTICLE: OCCULT OXYMORON: THE “CHRISTIAN WITCH” PHENOMENON
    To print: 5 pages
    It is amazing how many people, who have no true knowledge or understanding of what the Bible says, will dogmatically assert that they know what it says and means! “Christian witchcraft”: a growing phenomenon amidst the abounding religious confusion and delusion of our times. Satan is merging his various religious lies. For centuries he has fobbed off the impossible on the world: the so-called “Roman Catholic Christian.” In recent times we have seen the growing merger between the Seventh-day Adventist cult and what passes for “Evangelical Christianity” today. Even the Mormon cult is increasingly being accepted as part of “Christianity”. And yet another impossible combination is being accepted by some: “Chrislam” – an attempt to merge Christianity and Islam. And now we have “Christian witchcraft”. What’s next on the horizon of Satan’s smorgasbord ? In today’s mixed-up, confused and crazy religious world, all we can say for certain is, “Never say never”! The devil has a few tricks up his sleeve yet. The way that leads to everlasting destruction is a very broad way indeed. Shaun Willcock

    • Alternatively, consider responding to people’s actions, not their theology. (Per theologian Dennis Prager on Mormonism.) Leave judgements to God. The article is interesting, but inside its rejection is a lack of clarity on what it means to be a spiritual seeker where humility before God has wained. There there is also the English strain of interpreting the Bible as an instrument to be used against Jews: “Those witches who call themselves “Christians” are no more true Christians just
      by thinking it and saying it than the Jews were Abraham’s spiritual children just because they said they…John” Certainly, there are Jews who call themselves Christiana and no alarm exists. There are also (I think mis-guided) women who are ordained as Kohenet priestesses. Their seminary seems to be run by women ordained as rabbis who couldn’t find a spiritual home that would pay the bills. It is an interesting idea to catalogue all of this rebellion together as a manifestation of the power of the Evil side. There has lately also been discussion of whether the Chi-as-energy (as in Reiki etc) is also a type of witchcraft.

  7. CALIPHATE – INTERRUPTED
    Baghdadi and many key leaders remain alive. Thousands, if not tens of thousands of ISIS soldiers are at the ready. The Syrian and Iraqi regimes are ill-equipped to deal with the long-term threat. Al Qaeda has maintained effective insurgencies in Yemen, Afghanistan, Somalia, and northern and western Africa. These insurgencies have tied up U.S. forces across multiple continents, and despite concerted campaigns to root out al Qaeda’s branches, they persist. The defeat of ISIS in Iraq and Syria is a welcomed and necessary development in the war, and it was long overdue. But it was merely one battle in this long war. These jihadis remain committed to their cause, despite long odds against them. There is no question that the West possesses the resources and talent to defeat such an enemy. Does it have the will?

  8. CANADIAN PARLIAMENT GIVES STANDING OVATION TO ABORTION
    video – 1 minute 58 seconds
    OTTAWA, May 30, 2019 — All Canada’s MPs except the Conservatives gave a rousing standing ovation yesterday to a motion affirming a woman’s “right” to unrestricted abortion. Bloc Quebecois MP Monique Pauze presented a motion that “the House of Commons reiterate that a woman’s body belongs to her and her alone and recognize her freedom of choice on abortion for any reason.”

    • Does it really belong to her?this is a moot point,since women are responsible for the next gereration and are the only creatures capable of producing it,then the potential life must have some say in the process,and since it can not speak for itself ,we must.We have lost 40 million since the sixties,killed in a word,an enormous potential which must contain hundreds of geniuses,and all other creative people,which has been flushed carelessly down the toilet.

    “”It is not clear to me that Islam would be compatible with democracy,” he said in an interview with Hungarian newspaper Magyar Nemzet. “We have no evidence that it would be.”

    He said he’d failed to observe a “positive example of a successful, independent Muslim democracy”, also invoking Muslim countries’ generally weak record on freedom and corruption in international rankings.

    “So there is a fundamental problem that is unfortunately not allowed to be discussed,” Jordan Peterson was quoted as saying….”

  10. British Airways resumes flights to Pakistan after 11 years (abcnews, Jun 3, 2019)
    https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/british-airways-resumes-flights-pakistan-11-years-63444232

    “Pakistani state-run media says British Airways has resumed flights to the South Asian country, over a decade after they were suspended in the wake of a truck bombing of a hotel in the capital, which killed dozens.

    Flights three times a week between London and Islamabad began Monday, just ahead of the Eid al-Fitr holiday marking the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

    State-run Pakistan Television says Aviation Minister Ghulam Sarwar and other officials greeted passengers on their arrival at the airport. Thomas Drew, Britain’s top diplomat in Pakistan, was also present.

    British Airways suspended its operations shortly after the Sept. 20, 2008, terrorist bombing devastated the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad, killing at least 54 people and wounding 270.”

  11. Britain’s Ineos to invest $2 billion in Saudi plants (abcnews, Jun 3, 2019)
    https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/britains-ineos-invest-billion-saudi-plants-63446030

    “British petrochemicals maker Ineos is investing $2 billion to build three plants in Saudi Arabia, as western companies appear to be shedding their reluctance to do business with the kingdom following the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi agents in Turkey last year.

    Global outcry over the killing of Khashoggi, a critic of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, prompted leading Western CEOs and officials to back out of the prince’s flagship investment forum in October.

    The U.S. Congress has blocked about $2 billion in arms sales to Saudi Arabia in the past year, although the Trump administration is trying to work around Congress to supply arms to the kingdom.

    The new Saudi plants are part of a partnership with Saudi Aramco and France’s Total.”

    “Afghan officials say a sticky bomb attached into a bus has detonated in the capital, Kabul, killing five people and wounding 10.

    Nasrat Rahimi, spokesman for the interior ministry, says Monday’s attack targeted a bus carrying government employees,

    Wahidullah Mayar, spokesman for the public health ministry, stressed that these were only initial casualty reports that could still rise.

    No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but both Taliban and Islamic State militants are active in Kabul and have staged attacks there.

    A wave of attacks has rocked the Afghan capital over the last week. Four bombings on Sunday killed at least two people and wounded 27, preceded by deadly suicide bombings on Thursday and Friday.”

  13. 16,000 children missing from Dutch asylum shelters: report
    https://nltimes.nl/2019/06/03/16000-children-missing-dutch-asylum-shelters-report

    Over 16 thousand children disappeared from asylum centers in the Netherlands over the past 4.5 years, NRC reports based on figures from the central agency for the reception of asylum seekers COA and Nidos, the organization that has custody of all unaccompanied foreign minors in the Netherlands. These kids left the asylum centers and their current whereabouts are unknown, the newspaper writes.

    According to the two organizations, some of the missing children left to join family or friends in Germany, Belgium or France. But there are also signals that missing child asylum seekers end up in situations where they are exploited. Nidos and the COA told NRC that it is “always worrying” when a child disappears from a shelter. “Every child is one too many”, Nidos director Tim Verstegen said to the newspaper.
    The largest group of missing child asylum seekers come from Morocco, 325, followed by 190 children from Algeria, 167 from Afghanistan, and 114 each from Syria and Eritrea. The first three countries are considered “safe”, which means that asylum seekers from there stand little chance of getting refugee status in the Netherlands. But asylum seekers from Syria and Eritrea are almost always given a residency permit.

    The group of children who disappear from the asylum process is likely even larger, according to NRC. The foreigners police in Rotterdam regularly find foreign minors, who are put on a taxi and sent to the reception center in Ter Apel to start their asylum procedure. But not all children actually report to the reception center, a police officer said to the newspaper. They are dropped off at the center’s door, but don’t go inside or leave again a few hours later, before being assigned a guardian.

    Earlier this year the National Rapporteur on Human Trafficking Herman Bolhaar called on the government to do more to find and protect children who disappear from asylum centers.

    “‘I felt a great disturbance in the farce, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.”

    At 3pmET, it appears that Google Cloud (affecting Gmail, YouTube, SnapChat, Instagram, and Facebook among others) mysteriously (and almost unprecedently) went offline.

    Richard: I notice that the areas affected were liberal enclaves, does this have mean anything? Maybe, however is is not necessarily the government that shut down Google in those areas, it is just as likely that Google was warning people of what might happen if the Government orders Google broken up by the anti trust action.

    We have all been talking about the arrogance of the owners and managers of the tech giants so why should we be surprised if one of them decides to say he/they are bigger adn stronger then the government?

    • That major Google outage meant some Nest users couldn’t unlock doors or use the AC

      If you’re a Google user, you probably noticed some trouble last night when trying to access Google-owned services. Last night, Google reported several issues with its Cloud Platform, which made several Google sites slow or inoperable. Because of this, many of Google’s sites and services–including Gmail, G Suite, and YouTube–were slow or completely down for users in the U.S. and Europe.

      However, the Google Cloud outage also affected third-party apps and services that use Google Cloud space for hosting. Affected third-party apps and services include Discord, Snapchat, and even Apple’s iCloud services.

      But an especially annoying side effect of Google Cloud’s downtime was that Nest-branded smart home products for some users just failed to work. According to reports from Twitter, many people were unable to use their Nest thermostats, Nest smart locks, and Nest cameras during the downtime. This essentially meant that because of a cloud storage outage, people were prevented from getting inside their homes, using their AC, and monitoring their babies.

  15. A #MeToo campaign that finally targets the right demographic! Namely, “Dutch” rappers (the photo alone says more than a 1000 words):

    https://nltimes.nl/2019/06/03/metoo-foundation-take-dutch-rappers-court-report

    The Music#MeToo foundation is taking a number of Dutch rappers, their management and record labels to court in an attempt to tackle misogyny in the Dutch hip-hop world. The foundation, which was established in February, is not so much bothered about the rappers’ misogynistic lyrics, but by their behavior, AD reports.

    The foundation referred to rapper Boef calling women ‘kechs’, which means ‘whores’, in a Snapchat video last year and Frenna being convicted in Suriname for having sex with a minor and filming it. Music#MeToo submitted a request for a preliminary witness hearing against Ali B’s management agency Spec, record label Top Notch, and American music company Warner Music Group.

    If the court agrees to this hearing, it will then be assessed whether a civil lawsuit can be filed.

    According to the foundation, they want to stop “unwanted sexualization and sexual abuse within the music industry”. The chairman decided on this action after her daughter was assaulted at an office party where hip hop was playing, according to the newspaper. The Public Prosecutor is investigating this incident.

  16. Detailed article on Wilders’ Twitter ban:
    https://nltimes.nl/2019/05/31/twitter-suspends-populist-politician-geert-wilders

    Twitter temporarily suspended the account of PVV leader Geert Wilders, due to a tweet he posted about the D66, according to screenshots tweeted by other PVV members. The company informed the anti-Islam, populist politician that he violated their “rules against hateful conduct”.

    Wilders is outraged. “Unbelievable, a Twitter block for criticizing [D66 leader Rob] Jetten”, Wilders said to NOS. “Temporarily with the threat added that it can be made permanent. Senders of death threats to me are often tolerated by Twitter, but a factual tweet from me about a colleague is not. Madness.”

    The tweet in question has since been removed from Wilders’ account. According to NOS, this may have been one of Twitter’s requirements to get the account reactivated.

    Translated from Dutch, the tweet read: “Let’s always stand up against the D66 dorks who leave the borders open and import more and more Islam only to then cry crocodile tears about the consequences such as anti-Semitism, honor killings, female circumcision, terrorism and hatred.”

  17. Dole fruit trucks burned in Honduras as protests spread

    3 Min Read

    TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) – Protesters burned and looted some 30 shipping containers marked with the logo of the Dole Food Company in Honduras on Sunday, a military official said, in the second attack on symbols of U.S. power in the Central American nation in recent days.

    Protests against U.S.-allied Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez have been building in recent weeks over planned reforms that Hernandez’s critics argue will lead to the privatization of public services.

    The attack on the convoy of trucks took place in rural Honduras early on Sunday on a road passing through a village known as Guadalupe Carney, some 330 km (205 miles) from the capital, Tegucigalpa, senior military official Fernando Leiva said in an interview posted by Honduran media.

    • Government warnings can’t turn back migrants from Guatemala

      SAN CRISTOBAL DE TOTONICAPAN, Guatemala — Dressed in a bright orange shirt, Francisco Gomez yells and uses his arms to vigorously direct the myriad souped-up buses at the crossroads known as Cuatro Caminos, or Four Roads.

      This is the busy roadway one local called “the last adios” — where every day hundreds of Guatemalan migrants from the country’s impoverished western highlands begin their 1,000-mile-plus journey to the US border.

      Despite recent moves by the US and Guatemalan governments to warn migrants against making the perilous trek, Cuatro Caminos — a muddy sprawl of lean-to barbecue-chicken shacks and wandering, emaciated dogs — has never been busier.

      “Nobody cares what the government does,” said Gomez, 51, who has been directing bus traffic here for the last 20 years. He begins work every day at 6 a.m.

    ARRIAGA, Mexico — They gathered at dawn in this railyard in southern Mexico, contemplating their next move: catching a ride on the roof of La Bestia (the Beast) — the name migrants use for the notorious freight train that winds its way through Mexico toward the United States.

    “Climbing on the top looks very difficult, especially with the kids,” said a dubious Carlos Onan Galo Perez, who had traveled from Honduras with his wife and their three children. “I’m worried.”

    He had heard about the dangers: the criminal mobs that terrorize travelers, the risk of falling and losing an arm or leg, or worse. Mexican police recently reported that “delinquents” tossed several migrants from La Bestia in the state of Veracruz, leaving one dead and two with severed limbs.

  19. China releases official document blaming the U.S. for the trade war

    OAN Newsroom
    UPDATED 7:28 AM PT — Monday, June 3, 2019

    China recently released an official document blaming the U.S. for the escalating trade war. In the report, which was delivered at a news conference Sunday morning, Beijing argued the trade dispute is negatively affecting the world.

    China states it will not back down to “major issues of principle.” The country accused the U.S. of backtracking three times during trade negotiations by introducing new tariffs and other conditions beyond what was agreed on. It also claimed the U.S. is an untrustworthy negotiator, and that the Chinese government wants talks that are equal, mutually beneficial and trustworthy.

    Beijing allegedly backed out from basically all negotiating points during talks with the U.S. several weeks ago. However, China’s Commerce Ministry said U.S. actions are the primary reason for the lack of progress in negotiations.

    2020 hopeful Kirsten Gillibrand continues to slam the NRA as she trails even little-known Democrats in her run for the White House.

    In a Fox Town Hall Sunday, the New York senator referred to the NRA as the “worst organization in the country.” She has claimed the group cares more about profits than the American people.

    When Gillibrand was reelected to the Senate last year, however, she admitted to owning guns and hunting with her family. Despite this she has more recently criticized the organization, and has said it’s the reason for gun violence.

    Richard: Honest private citizens banding together to exercise their First Amendment rights to fight for their Second Amendment rights are the cause of gun violence!! When she was running to be the Representative of a small district in Rural New York State she was supportive of gun rights and opposed all gun control, now that she is trying to win the nomination to run for the Presidency she is in favor of gun control. Since she has very little chance of getting the nomination much less winning the general election she has thrown away her career as a politician for a pipe dream.

    On Thursday, Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, signed a measure into law that would ban abortion in his state once a heartbeat is detectable with no exceptions for rape or incest. This didn’t sit too well with Sen. Cory “Spartacus” Booker, who issued a tweet about “Democratic values.”

    “At a time when Republicans across the country are mounting a coordinated, all-out attack on women’s reproductive freedoms, it’s unconscionable that someone in our own party would contribute. Democratic leadership should reflect Democratic values,” he wrote.

  24. Islamist Child Bride Scandal in Philadelphia Grows

    The scandal involving a child bride at a radical Philadelphia mosque is just the tip of the iceberg, according to Clarion Intelligence Network sources aware of the investigations into the underage marriages that have taken place for years in the area.

    Last March, the victim, who was married at age 14 and is now 17, came forward with allegations of sexual assault against her husband. In a public video posted on Facebook, the young girl said both she and her 10-year old sister were sexually abused by her husband, Rajmann Sanders, shortly after her marriage.

    Sanders was charged with rape, indecent assault and forcible compulsion, among other charges. He is even accused of threatening to shoot one girl after assaulting her.

    Even though he is behind bars, the victims have been placed in protective custody.

    The girl’s marriage to Sanders was her second marriage, as the first one didn’t work out.

    The mosque in question, Masjid Uthman Dan Fodiyo, is connected to other extremist mosques and organizations.

    The sources say that the weddings for the child marriages that took place at Masjid Uthman Dan Fodiyo are< facilitated by an informal network of extremists that extends beyond the mosque’s congregation. The sources say that Islamist men seeking to marry girls traveled from hours away.

    The imam of the mosque was directly involved in scheduling and officiating the marriages for years, the sources say.

    More and more Muslims from the community are sharing their stories with other Muslims outside of the Philadelphia area after the above story broke.

    Multiple accounts reviewed by Clarion Intelligence Network sources confirm that there was widespread awareness of the underage marriages, polygamy and spousal abuse by members of the Masjid Uthman Dan Fodiyo and related mosques, including those with leadership positions.

    Some former members of the mosque made vague social media postings about “what happens in that place,” declining to go into detail but confirming they were disturbed by whatever they experienced there.

    One testimony shared with a source recounted how one teacher at Masjid Uthman Dan Fodiyo had three wives and forced one of his wives to quit her job and instead apply for welfare and housing assistance.

    The first-person account stated:

    “They often stressed to parents, mostly mothers, to marry off their daughters at age 14 and up so they do not go out and fornicate and become pregnant. Then he would give words from Quran, Hadith and their African scholars about how they married young and the community prospered because they were following Allah’s commands. This bothered many women because many of them were sexually abused as children … The imam often mentioned that all the girls in the community should be married off.”

    In some cases, a man would ask his first and/or second wife help him find a young virgin to marry because that’s what Mohammed did.

    Wives who would not agree to the man’s sexual demands would sometimes be threatened with physical abuse as “discipline” or divorce and abandonment.

    After the child bride scandal erupted in March, the police conducted a search of the mosque, where the wedding took place, and the imam’s home.

    Clarion Intelligence Network sources confirmed not only that such marriages have taken place for years, but participants included others besides the mosque’s attendees. Men seeking to marry girls were referred to the mosque.

    The 17-year old victim faulted the mosque leadership for covering up the child abuse.

    “The 10-year-old was not handled correctly and everything was swept under the rug. Not only was it wrong, it was wrong to me because at the time I was still his wife,” she said in the video.

    She made it clear that there’s a bigger problem in the community she comes from.

    “This is not healthy for me or my kids. No one should want their kids around this, especially with the pedophilia, that should be enough to say no I don’t want my kids around this,” she said.

    Our sources and open-source research make it clear that this child bride scandal (and the accompanying Islamist extremism) is not limited to a single pervert or even this single mosque.

    Most victims do not speak out. Most crimes and abuses are not discovered. And most offenders do not face justice.

  26. ”It’s Not Constantinople, It’s Istanbul; It’s Islam-bul” Turkey’s Erdogan Says

    The Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an declared that still ”there are people who want to see Istanbul as Constantinople,” on Saturday.

    Erdogan was participating in the series of public spectacles and events which Turkey organizes every year on the occasion of the fall of Constantinople in 1453.

    Speaking in front of people who attended a public prayer in Istanbul on Saturday, the Turkish President said, among other things, ”this is Istanbul, also known as Islam-bul, this is not Constantinople!”

    Erdogan added that ”some people want to see Istanbul as Constantinople again, but we have twenty-two days to fight against those people!”

    The Turkish president was making an indirect attack on mayoral candidate Ekrem ?mamo?lu, who is competing against Erdogan’s favorite Binali Y?ld?r?m. The on-again, off-again elections will take place on June 23, because the first elections, which brought ?mamo?lu into the lead by a narrow margin, were cancelled.

    The great city of Constantinople, established in 330 AD by the Roman Emperor Constantine, was built on top of the ancient Greek city of Byzantium.

    After its fall to the Ottoman forces in 1453, its name was converted to Istanbul.

    Even the name ”Istanbul,” however, which the Turkish President seems to prefer, derives from the Greek phrase ”Is tin poli,” which means “into the city.”

    Throughout the centuries, Greeks referred to Constantinople as simply ”The City” (”I Polis”), so each time someone was going to Constantinople, he or she would say ”Is tin poli” — a phrase which morphed into the modern term ”Istanbul.”

  27. Sri Lanka Muslim ministers resign en masse over Easter bombings (straitstimes, Jun 3, 2019)
    https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/south-asia/sri-lanka-muslim-ministers-resign-en-masse-over-easter-bombings

    “Sri Lanka’s Muslim ministers resigned en masse Monday (June 3) over widespread hate attacks against their community in the wake of the Easter Sunday bombings that hit the majority Buddhist nation.

    The resignation of nine government legislators, several of them cabinet ministers, came after a Buddhist monk lawmaker supporting President Maithripala Sirisena demanded the sacking of three top Muslim politicians.

    Demonstrations by several thousand people gripped the central pilgrim city of Kandy as monk Athuraliye Ratana insisted governors of two provinces and a cabinet minister be sacked over their alleged involvement with jihadists responsible for the bombings.

    Even as shops and offices were closed in the city 115 kilometres east of Colombo, the two provincial governors stepped down, Sirisena’s office said.

    Within hours, the nine legislators, belonging to several Muslim and mainstream parties, resigned saying they were giving up their portfolios to ensure free investigations into the Easter attacks.

    The nine included Commerce Minister Rishad Bathiudeen, the cabinet minister whose sacking had been demanded by Ratana.

    Muslim leaders said their community – which consists of 10 per cent of Sri Lanka’s 21 million population – had become victims of violence, hate speech and harassment since Islamic extremists were held responsible for the bombings…”

  28. Institute of Turkish Studies in US announces closure after Ankara cuts funding (turkishminute, Jun 3, 2019)
    https://www.turkishminute.com/2019/06/03/institute-of-turkish-studies-in-us-announces-closure-after-ankara-cuts-funding/

    “The Washington-based Institute of Turkish Studies (ITS) on Saturday announced that the board of directors had decided to cease operations as of September 2020, citing financial problems arising from a withdrawal of funding from the Turkish government.

    “As many are aware, the Turkish government-initiated trust that provided income to support these ITS grant-giving and other activities was terminated in late 2015. Since that time, the Board has worked to secure new sources of funding from private donors,” the statement issued by the institution reads.

    Established in 1983 at the initiative of the Turkish government, ITS helped to create substantial literature in Turkish and Ottoman studies.

    “Over 130 dissertation writing grants translated into 70-plus professorial positions at American institutions of higher education, and language and research awards helped prepare at least 235 others who took up teaching and research positions in the United States and elsewhere,” the statement said.

    The institute also thanked its private donors, such as Georgetown University, Koç Holding, FIBA Holding, Mr. and Mrs. Muhtar Kent and other individuals.

    “Despite this backing, our efforts to develop a sustainable financial future for ITS have not been as successful as we would like,” it added.

    The director of the institution, Dr. Sinan Ciddi, posted the statement on Twitter with a note on it: “Sad but true, please read.””

  30. New Strzok-Page Emails Reveal at Least FOUR FBI 302 Reports Related to Hillary Clinton’s Investigation Were Never Written

    Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch announced Monday it received 218 pages of Strzok-Page emails which show FBI counsel James Baker instructing FBI officials to expedite the release of FBI probe material to Hillary Clinton’s lawyer in August of 2016.

    Hillary’s lawyer, David Kendall and FBI counsel James Baker discussed quickly obtaining the “302” report of the FBI/DOJ interview of Clinton.

    FD-302 reports are notes FBI officials take to summarize interviews they conduct with an individual.

    The Strzok-Page emails also show the FBI failed to document at least four interviews of witnesses in the Clinton email probe.

    Remember, this was happening at the same time Strzok launched “Crossfire Hurricane” to investigate Trump-Russia.
