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.

  1. Dutch museum goes full SJW, rewrites history and abolishes “Golden Age”.

    https://nltimes.nl/2019/09/13/amsterdam-museum-permanently-drops-term-golden-age-perception-history-changes
    The Amsterdam Museum will stop using the term ‘Golden Age’, because it does not cover all sides of the period. Instead it will refer to the period as the 17th century, the museum announced.
    According to curator Tom van der Molen, the term Golden Age is linked to national pride and “the many negative aspects of the 17th century such as poverty, war, slavery and human trafficking” are ignored, he said to NU.nl. In the 17th century he Netherlands was a world power in economic and military terms.
    In the coming period, the Amsterdam Museum will make the appropriate name changes. For example, the name of the Hermitage exhibit provided by the Amsterdam Museum will change from Hollanders of the Golden Age to Group Portraits of the 17th Century, according to the newspaper.
    The Amsterdam Museum says it wants to be a place that is relevant and welcoming to everyone. “That is why the Amsterdam Museum gives room to people and stories that are not or are insufficiently heard.”
    The announcement by the Amsterdam Museum provoked a storm of reactions. On social media, some called dropping the term Golden Age a “good idea’, but others spoke of “falsification of history” and “self-hatred”.
    “I fell of my chair”, VVD parliamentarian Zohair El Yassini said to NOS. “First the street name signs had to be removed, then the stations and now the entire Golden Age. I would’ve preferred that the Amsterdam Museum explain what the Golden Age has brought our country and what the negative sides of it are. That is also the task of a museum.” According to the MP, that can be done without name changes. “We should not suddenly get Golden Age embarrassment. We will no longer know our history.”
    Judikje Kiers, director of the Amsterdam Museum, acknowledged to the broadcaster that the term Golden Age can still be used well in some contexts, but it does not cover all the stories from that century. “Of course, the 17th century was the Golden Age of painting, we had incredible prosperity in that period and we had relative religious tolerance that meant a lot for Amsterdam”, Kiers said, but added: “I also think it’s important to give space to other stories.”
    According to Kiers, the museum sometimes gets questions like whether everyone in Amsterdam was rich in the 17th century, and whether there weren’t any people of color also living here. “We are now trying to give substance to that, and the term 17th century fits better with that.”
    The Rijksmuseum will keep using the term Golden Age for the time being, director Taco Dibbits said to NOS. “The name refers to a period in the history of great prosperity”, he said. “That does not alter the fact that we acknowledge the dark side of this. The Rijksmuseum approaches history from different perspectives. For example, we are opening an exhibition on slavery next year.”

    Richard: This shows the attitude of the poorer sections of the Dem controlled cities. We aren’t very far from a civil war and it looks like China and Iran are planning on starting WWIII at about the same time.

    DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz testified before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform on Wednesday morning.

    Horowitz confirmed that he is in communication with US Attorney from Connecticut John Durham.

    US Attorney General Bill Barr previously appointed Durham to investigate the origins of Spygate/Russiagate.

    DOJ IG Horowitz does not have the power to impanel a grand jury, however he can criminally refer individuals to US Attorney John Durham for prosecution.

    “Regarding US Attorney Durham, are ya’ll in any discussions about what he’s finding or what you have found?” Congressman Hice (R-GA) asked Horowitz.

    Horowitz hesitated at first and deferred the question to Durham and AG Barr — then admitted he has communicated with Durham.

    • Liberman made his name as “The Russian [Vote]”.
      A typical power-hungry politician, calling himself a “right wing hawk” or “secular anti-religious”. Whatever. Russian-speakers who haven’t [yet] assimilated vote in a block, or so I’m told.

      He brought down the last govt; he’s a serial crasher of coalitions. I hate him, but others are consumed with hate. To give you an idea, I quote [foul language, emphasis in the original]:

      Liberman is a steaming pile of sh!t. This spiteful, bigoted, hateful Russian gangster has given Israel’s enemies around the world a victory.

      He’s a mole inside the Israeli government. Send his fat a@@ back to Russia and revoke his Israeli citizenship.

      Is it any wonder I hate russians. It was a total mistake allowing all those Russians into Israel…
      ……….
      In response, someone posted this link about all the great things Russians have contributed to the Israeli polity: https://www.jpost.com/genesis/genesis.aspx

      Putin Declares Victory In Israel Elections

      Vladimir Putin congratulated Israelis Wednesday morning on voting the way he had manipulated them via social media trolling, bankrolling elements to sow division, and fomenting uncertainty on the Jewish state’s northern border to undermine any sense of security.

      “I would like to take this special moment to show my appreciation for the victory the Israeli electorate has handed me… We can now move forward with the fractured polity, political stalemate, hyperpartisanship, and mutual mistrust that best suits the policy I have been pursuing for Russian interests in the Middle East and beyond. Today marks a victory for democracy as cover for my machinations.…”
