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.

(GATESTONE INSTITUTE) On January 1, China’s Cryptography Law becomes effective. The legislation follows the December 1 implementation of the Multi-Level Protection Scheme 2.0, issued under the authority of the 2016 Cybersecurity Law.
Together, these measures show Beijing’s absolute determination to seize from foreign companies all their communications, data, and other information stored in electronic form in China.
President Trump should use his emergency powers to prohibit American companies from complying with the new rules or from storing data in China.

World’s First HIV-Positive Sperm Bank is Launched to ‘Remove the Stigma’
This is perverse beyond comprehension.
The world’s first HIV-positive sperm bank, called Sperm Positive, has been opened in New Zealand to “remove the stigma” surrounding people suffering from the often-terminal sexually transmitted disease.
The program has started with three donors who supposedly have an “undetectable viral load,” which means that standard tests cannot find the virus in the infected individual’s blood stream. It is alleged that the virus cannot be spread through child birth from these individuals, and the sperm bank plans to put this theory to the test.
Damien Rule-Neal, a man who has been been HIV-positive since 1999, has donated sperm to the project. He believes that the project will convince people to engage in relations with those afflicted with HIV.

Former Polish President and Burisma Board Member: Hunter Biden Was Hired Because of His Father’s Political Influence
This is what you call a pay-for-play scandal.New memos released last week reveal Burisma Holdings, Hunter Biden’s Ukrainian natural gas company, pressured the Obama State Department to help end the corruption investigation during the 2016 election cycle just one month before then-Vice President Joe Biden forced Ukraine to fire Viktor Shokin, the prosecutor probing his son Hunter.
Joe Biden bragged about getting Viktor Shokin fired during a 2018 speech to the Council on Foreign Relations.

Liberal Teacher Calls for Targeted Killings of Trump Supporters
11/29/2019 12:00 AM Source: AAN by: AAN Staff
With liberals growing more unstable and violent as it appears Trump could be re-elected, a liberal elementary school teacher publicly praised a child for attacking a Trump supporter and called upon kids to begin shooting conservatives.
David Mosley, a teacher at Byrns Darden Elementary School in Clarksville, Tennessee, took to Facebook to praise a 14-year-old girl who physically attacked a man, in front of his family, for wearing a Trump costume.
“She should have shot him,” Mosley posted, calling on the girl to kill Trump supporters in public places with their families.
When a Facebook user told Mosley that killing your political opponents is wrong, he smugly responded “Did I ask this jackass for his opinion.” Though Mosley is a teacher, he failed to include a question mark at the end of his question.
Mosley then accused people of “stalking” for looking at his public profile. He has since deleted his Facebook profile.

Leader Urges Incompetent People to Avoid Iran Parliamentary Race
https://www.tasnimnews.com/en/news/2019/12/01/2150834/leader-urges-incompetent-people-to-avoid-iran-parliamentary-race
“Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei called on people to assess their capabilities before running for a post, as the registration of candidates for the Iranian parliamentary elections started Sunday.
In remarks at a religious course in Tehran on Sunday morning, Ayatollah Khamenei said when a post in the Islamic Republic is vacant or may fall vacant, a number of people immediately try to take up the post.
The applicants must first assess their capabilities and realize whether they are able to handle the job, the Leader added.
Pointing to the start of registration of candidates for next round of parliamentary elections, Ayatollah Khamenei said a number of people rush to apply for candidacy without any consideration of their competence.
Every duty, every post and every capability comes with responsibility and commitment, the Leader underlined, and advised the people intending to run for the Parliament to judge whether or not they can meet the commitments.
The registration of candidates for the 11th round of parliamentary elections began on Sunday morning.
Parliamentary hopefuls may get their names registered until Saturday, December 7.
The parliamentary and Assembly of Experts elections will be held simultaneously across the country in February.
There are currently 290 seats in the Iranian parliament, known as Majlis, elected by direct vote of people in nationwide election for four years.”
Turkey Cancels Press Credentials of 685 Journalists
https://aawsat.com/english/home/article/2015906/turkey-cancels-press-credentials-685-journalists
“Turkey announced on Saturday it has canceled the press credentials of 685 journalists working in the country over claims of posing a threat to national security.
The step came amid condemnations launched by human rights organizations that accuse the Turkish government of tightening restrictions on journalists.
Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay confirmed on Saturday the cancellation of the cards.
During a parliamentary budget planning session, Oktay said Turkey granted a total of 343 yellow, or temporary, new press cards in 2019 while canceling the press cards of 685 journalists over links to groups that are considered a threat to national security.
Since December 2018, Ankara started to implement new regulation on press cards, allowing for authorities to cancel press credentials of journalists over security-related reasons while placing restrictions on obtaining them.
According to the regulation, a journalist must never “engage in behavior against national security and public order” to be able to hold a press card…”
Egypt’s Islamophobia Observatory Calls to Join Forces Against Hate Crime
https://aawsat.com/english/home/article/2016026/egypt%E2%80%99s-islamophobia-observatory-calls-join-forces-against-hate-crime
“Egypt’s Islamophobia Observatory urged international forces to join efforts to eliminate all religious hate crimes, all forms of racism, xenophobia, and discrimination against the other.
More so, the Observatory has praised reaction of Norwegian Muslims over the recent burning of a copy of Islam’s Holy Quran by a Norwegian man.
The observatory said in a statement on Saturday that the Norwegian Muslims, who organized an event to recite Holy Quran in the street, were backed by a large number of the Norwegian city of Kristiansand’s inhabitants, who decried the burning that took place this month in their area.
The observatory lauded great support offered by Norwegians for the Muslim community in the European country, urging that all countries should exert efforts to uproot all anti-religion and hatred-based crimes.
It also urged Muslims in Western countries to organize more similar events to spread tolerance and mercy of Islam, and warned against extremist right-wing groups stoking hatred with irresponsible in contempt of religion and in clear violation of all international laws and customs.
“The fires of racism and hate speech do not only affect religious groups, but spread to indiscriminately devour entire communities,” the Observatory warned in a statement.”
Irish ‘ISIS Bride’ Arrested on Return to Ireland From Turkey
https://aawsat.com/english/home/article/2016316/irish-isis-bride-arrested-return-ireland-turkey
“An Irish citizen aligned to ISIS deported from Turkey along with her two-year-old daughter was arrested on her return to Dublin on Sunday on suspicion of terrorist offenses, Irish police said.
Ireland agreed to repatriate Lisa Smith, 38, and her two-year-old daughter after Ankara began deporting foreign citizens linked to ISIS earlier this month.
Turkey says it has captured 287 militants in northeast Syria, where Turkish troops launched an offensive against the Kurdish YPG militia last month, and has hundreds more extremist suspects in detention.
Dublin has said for months that it has a responsibility to bring Smith back to Ireland and that its main concern was for the safe repatriation of her daughter.
Smith is a former member of the Irish Defence Forces.
In a statement, Irish Minister for Justice Charlie Flanagan said: “This is a sensitive case and I want to reassure people that all relevant state agencies are closely involved.””

Number of repatriated foreign terrorists rises to 21
https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20191201-number-of-repatriated-foreign-terrorists-rises-to-21/
“Over 20 foreign terrorists of seven different nationalities were sent back to their countries within the last three weeks, said the country’s Interior Ministry on Sunday, Anadolu Agency reports.
The ministry said 13 German, two Belgian, two Dutch, one Danish, one British, one American and an Irish terrorist were deported from Turkey in Nov.11-Dec.1.
It added that 938 foreign terrorist fighters remain in the repatriation centers, to be sent back.
In 2016-2019, Turkey neutralized 1,058 Daesh terrorists in anti-terror operations within the country.
Turkish authorities often use the word “neutralized” in statements to imply terrorists in question surrendered or were killed or captured.
The security forces prevented five terrorist attacks of Daesh/ISIS within the last two years.
They also prevented 8,922 people, who have alleged links with Daesh/ISIS, entering the country.
On November 9, Turkey’s interior minister announced his country would begin extraditing captured Daesh terrorists to their home countries.
The issue of handling of Daesh members and their families detained in Syria — including foreign members of the terror group — has been controversial, with Turkey arguing foreign-born terrorists should be repatriated to their countries of origin.
Ankara has said that it will send Daesh members back to their countries, but several European countries have refused, saying the terrorists were denationalized.”

At least 14 killed in attack on Burkina Faso church
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-burkina-security/at-least-14-killed-in-attack-on-burkina-faso-church-idUSKBN1Y51C6
“At least 14 people were shot dead in an attack on a church in eastern Burkina Faso on Sunday morning, the government said.
The identity of the gunmen was not immediately clear and further details on the attack had yet to emerge. Burkinabe armed forces were caring for the wounded and searching the area, the government said in a statement.
This year an Islamist insurgency has ignited ethnic and religious tensions in Burkina Faso, rendering large parts of the country ungovernable, especially in northern areas bordering restive Mali.
The attack took place in the village of Hantoukoura near the border with Niger in the Est region, an area known for banditry that has come under attack over the past year from suspected jihadist groups with links to al Qaeda and Islamic State.
On Nov. 6 gunmen opened fire on a convoy of buses carrying mine workers in the Est region, killing 39.
The timing of the latest incident, during hours of worship, mirrored other attacks on Christians this year — a new phenomenon in a West African country that has long prided itself on its religious tolerance.
Burkina Faso was once a pocket of calm in the region, but the past year’s violence has killed hundreds and forced nearly a million people from their homes.”

Turkey’s top diplomat hails Spain as ‘true friend’
http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/turkeys-top-diplomat-hails-spain-as-true-friend-149310
“Turkish foreign minister on Nov. 30 said Spain was a “true friend” which did not withdraw its air-defense systems unlike many European countries that pulled theirs back.
Mevlüt Çavu?o?lu’s remarks came during an event organized at a hotel in Turkey’s Mediterranean resort city of Antalya to decorate Hasan Ak?nc?o?lu, Spain’s honorary consul to the city, with a royal medal of Spanish government.
Çavu?o?lu said the U.S., Netherlands, Germany, and Spain had dispatched their air-defense systems to Turkey following the emergence of the bloody civil war in Syria, but Italy announced it would withdraw its system whereas the other three had already pulled theirs back.
The top diplomat said Spain did not follow this withdrawal policy and added: “Spain is a true friend of Turkey. We thank [Spain] for this.”
Spain has never been prejudiced against Turkey, and praised the country for being open to criticism and sharing its views in an open manner, he added.
The bilateral ties date back to the Ottoman era, starting in 1782, Çavu?o?lu stressed.
“Our relations have grown stronger in every field,” he said, adding Ankara and Madrid got along with each other perfectly.
“Our economic and commercial relations are at a very good level as well,” he said and noted that there was room for further cooperation in the finance field, given the potential of the two countries.
Spain ranks sixth among Turkey’s European trade partner countries, the minister added.”
Ankara knows whereabouts of key FETÖ terrorist
http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/ankara-knows-whereabouts-of-key-feto-terrorist-149312
“Turkey knows the whereabouts of a key FETÖ member, Adil Öksüz, known as the civilian mastermind of the coup attempt in July 15, 2016, Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu said on Dec. 1.
“We know the whereabouts of Adil Öksüz,” he said, speaking to Kanal 7 television channel.
But the minister did not identify the whereabouts of Öksuz, who is among the key suspects of the failed coup.
Öksüz is a theology professor, dubbed as the “imam” of FETÖ members in the air force. He is reportedly a key profile having close contact with the U.S.-based leader of FETÖ, Fetullah Gülen, accused of masterminding the coup attempt.
“Imam” is a term used by the followers of FETÖ to mark local leadership.
An Ankara court on Nov. 21, 2017 completed a written extradition demand for Öksüz, believed to currently be in Germany, state-run Anadolu Agency earlier reported.
Öksüz was detained in the morning of July 16, 2016 near the Ak?nc? Air Base, used as a headquarters by coup-plotters during the attempt, only to be released by Judge Çetin Sönmez on July 18, 2016, after which he went on the run.
Earlier, media reports had suggested he had been spotted in Frankfurt and Ulm and was given a temporary residence permit by Germany’s Baden-Wurttemberg state.
Ankara had previously sent a diplomatic note to Berlin in August requesting Öksüz’s extradition.
FETÖ orchestrated the defeated coup attempt of July 15, 2016, which left 251 people killed and nearly 2,200 injured.”
