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.

Libya: Haftar militias strike Mitiga Airport in capital
https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20200524-libya-haftar-militias-strike-mitiga-airport-in-capital/
“Militias loyal to Libya’s renegade commander Khalifa Haftar Sunday hit the capital Tripoli with a rocket attack, Anadolu Agency reports.
The attack targeted Mitiga International Airport, according to a statement by the press center of the Libyan army-led Operation Volcano of Rage.
The statement gave no information on injuries or deaths.
According to the United Nations, since the beginning of this year, seven health centers in the country have been struck 12 times.
Haftar, the leader of illegal armed forces in eastern Libya, has intensified attacks on civilians since the beginning of May as the Libyan army recently gained an advantage and inflicted severe losses on his militants…”
Arab media tries to defame Tunisia’s Ghannouchi on Libya
https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20200524-arab-media-tries-to-defame-tunisias-ghannouchi-on-libya/
“Media outlets in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Egypt have launched a systematic campaign against Rached Ghannouchi, the intellectual leader of Tunisia’s Ennahda Movement, to tarnish his image and provoke a storm in his country, Anadolu Agency reports.
The counter-revolution led by Sky News, Saudi-financed Al-Arabiya — both broadcasts from the UAE — and Egypt-based Youm7 newspaper, have published simultaneous deceitful news.
Reports claimed Ghannouchi gained huge financial wealth since his return to Tunisia after the victory of the revolution in 2011, amounting to $8 billion, despite the fact that the country’s budget does not exceed $16.5.
Observers believe the campaign wants to create a wedge between the parliament and the presidency and provoke side battles in parliament between Tunisian blocs to dismantle state institutions by striking together.”
Turkey’s defense chief decries harassments in Aegean
https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20200524-turkeys-defense-chief-decries-harassments-in-aegean/
“Turkey’s defense chief denounced the recent harassments in the Aegean Sea on Sunday, Anadolu Agency reports.
“Despite all our attempts, understanding and patience for good neighborly relations, it is not possible to explain the harassment in the Aegean in recent days,” Hulusi Akar said, aboard the Barbaros Frigate joining the Operation Mediterranean Shield in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Hulusi Akar was also accompanied in the inspection by Turkey’s Chief of General Staff Gen. Yasar Guler and top commanders of the land, air, and sea forces.
“We have put every effort to solve the issues via dialogue and mutual understanding, and we will continue to do the same,” Akar stressed.
Earlier, Akar visited Turkish troops along the Syrian border to mark the Eid al-Fitr, the holiday marking the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.”
Over 140 UK Muslim institutions urge anti-racism watchdog to investigate Tory Islamophobia
https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20200524-over-140-uk-muslim-institutions-urge-anti-racism-watchdog-to-investigate-tory-islamophobia/
“A group of over 140 mosques and Muslim organisations have urged the Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) to launch an investigation into Islamophobia within the Conservative Party. In its letter the signatories accused the UK Watchdog of a conflict of interest and a “dereliction of responsibilities” for dismissing more than 300 cases of alleged anti-Muslim racism within the Tory Party.
Writing to EHRC chair, David Isaac and its board, British Imams and leading Muslim organisations said that they were “greatly concerned at the failure of EHRC to fulfil its remit and carry out an investigation of Islamophobia allegation within the Conservative Party.”
The letter arrived on the heel of a dossier submitted by the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) to EHRC, containing more than 300 cases of Islamophobia amongst Tory party members, and MPs including Prime Minister Boris Johnson. The Watchdog, which is currently investigating the Labour Party for alleged Anti-Semitism, has refused to launch a similar probe into the racism within the ruling party, raising accusations that it has not taken racism against Muslim as seriously as racism against Jews.
“It is unacceptable” said the group “for an independent statutory body whose responsibility encourage equality and diversity, eliminate unlawful discrimination to opt out from investigating allegation,” the signatories said.
Warning of the spike in Islamophobia, EHRC’s failure to launch its own probe was denounced as “a dereliction” of responsibility, which the group argued would expose British Muslim to further racism. It is “unsatisfactory” said the group for “EHRC to remain on the side-line and simply monitor the Conservative party carry out its own internal and self-appointed investigation.”
The Conservative Party is currently undertaking its own investigation into “all forms of prejudice,” having initially pledged to launch a probe into anti-Muslim racism.
Islamophobia amongst Tory members is “extremely serious,” said the group, citing the MCB dossier and media reporting on Conservative politicians expressing anti-Muslim remarks notably by Nadine Dorries MP, Bob Blackman MP, former MEP Daniel Hannan and racist posts on social media by more than 30 current and former councillors.
Sections of the British right have been reluctant to investigate Islamophobia. Right-wing commentators such as Melanie Phillips dismiss the notion by suggesting that “the concept of Islamophobia” itself was anti-Semitic.
Full text of the letter:
To,
David Isaac and the Board of Equality Human Rights Commission:
We the undersigned Imams and organisations are greatly concerned at the failure of EHRC to fulfil its remit and carry out an investigation of Islamophobia allegation within the Conservative Party.
It is unacceptable for an independent statutory body whose responsibility [1] encourage equality and diversity, eliminate unlawful discrimination” to opt out from investigating allegation. It is further unsatisfactory for the EHRC to remain on the side line and simply monitor [2] the Conservative party carry out its own internal and self-appointed investigation.
The allegations against the Conservative Party members are extremely serious, with Muslim Council of Britain indicating 300 cases that were submitted to you in March. The media [3] has also reported numerous cases of Conservative politicians expressing Islamophobic views that require an independent investigation. This includes Nadine Dorries MP [4], Bob Blackman MP [5], former MEP Daniel Hannan [6] and racist posts on social media by more than 30 [7] current and former councillors.
Further, some of the EHRC’s board members’ external posts are raising concerns of conflict of interest. Since Suzanne Baxter, a board member of EHRC has taken up a position at Pinsent Masons, a corporate law firm that represents the Conservative government. It is also alleged you, Mr David Isaac benefit from Pinset Masons with a salary of £620,000 a year [8].
The Islamophobia allegations are in the backdrop of 47% of all religious hate crime in 2018/19 [9] being targeted against Muslims.
For the EHRC to deny investigating Islamophobia within the Conservative Party, with the general rising rate of Islamophobia is a dereliction of responsibilities that is exposing an already vulnerability British Muslim community to greater discrimination.
We therefore call upon EHRC to immediately review its position and call for an investigation into the allegations of Islamophobia within the Conservative Party. We also require assurances of impartiality for such an investigation.”
Egypt’s SIS warns Washington Post over ‘misconduct and disinformation’
http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/1/64/369894/Egypt/Politics-/Egypt%E2%80%99s-SIS-warns-Washington-Post-over-misconduct-.aspx
“Egypt’s State Information Service (SIS) says it has sent a warning to the editor-in-chief of The Washington Post newspaper over “professional misconduct and disinformation” displayed in a recent report on Egypt.
The SIS, which is responsible for regulating the affairs of foreign press and media correspondents in Egypt, also said in a press release on Saturday that it has alerted the Cairo bureau chief of The New York Times over “numerous professional violations in some of his recent reports.”
Chairman of the SIS Diaa Rashwan met with Cairo Bureau Chief for The Washington Post Sudarsan Raghavan late on Saturday. Rashwan briefed Raghavan on “the professional misconduct, disinformation and misinformation contained in his recent reports on Egypt,” the SIS said in its statement.
Rashwan handed Raghavan a copy of the letter sent to the editor-in-chief of The Washington Post detailing “the journalistic violations by its Cairo-based reporter, who was issued a warning that in the event that such professional violations . . . appropriate measures permitted by both the law in Egypt and the rules of many countries worldwide shall be taken against him.”
In the letter to the editor-in-chief, the SIS specifically referred to a report published in The Washington Post on 10 May 2020 titled ‘As coronavirus spreads in Egypt, Sissi sees opportunity to tighten his grip.’
The letter detailed what the SIS described as “professional violations” in the report.
The SIS said that the report anonymously quoted “human rights activists”, and directed “very serious accusations to the Egyptian government, describing it as a ‘military-backed government’.”
The SIS argued that this rhetoric is “at odds with the reality of Egypt’s established civilian state with all its legitimate institutions, governed by a constitution approved by the people in a referendum.”
The SIS also said in the letter that contrary to what was mentioned in the report, the amendments to the emergency law were due to “the country’s need to take extraordinary measures to counter the spread of the coronavirus,” and not to “grant the country’s security institutions additional powers.”
The letter stressed that the amendments – which expand powers to “ban or limit public and private gatherings, to shut down schools, and to restrict people from owning, transporting, selling, buying or exporting any goods or services, as well as control their prices” – are essential for any country in order to fight the coronavirus pandemic.
The SIS denied the correspondent’s claim that “the government did not respond to a request for comment,” saying that it had not received any communication from the correspondent in this regard.
It also stressed that unlike what was mentioned in the report, the banning of prison visits was not to “silence political prisoners”, but rather to “protect the prisoners themselves from the pandemic.”
The SIS said that based on such “professional misconduct,” it warned Raghavan of the need to “adhere to the proper professional standards when practicing his journalistic work in Egypt.”
The SIS added in its statement that its chairman Rashwan also met with Cairo bureau chief for The New York Times Declan Walsh, and alerted him on “numerous professional violations in some of his recent reports.”
The SIS underscored that it had previously issued a warning to the US newspaper’s bureau chief last month.
Bellow is the full text of the SIS letter:
Dear Mr. Martin Baron
Editor-in-Chief, The Washington Post
The State Information Service (SIS) conveys its highest regards to you and your esteemed newspaper and wishes to notify you of the following:
Based on our appreciation of the Washington Post, and its known adherence to professional rules in journalism, we wish to inform you that the newspaper’s Cairo Bureau Chief Mr. Sudarsan Raghavan has often encroached on the rules of the press profession, which are recognized throughout the world and are endorsed by your esteemed newspaper.
The latest example of such encroachment is the report by Mr. Raghavan titled “As coronavirus spreads in Egypt, Sissi sees opportunity to tighten his grip”, which was published in The Washington Post on 10/5/2020 and contained numerous professional violations as follows:
– The report attributed to what it calls “human rights activists”, an anonymous source, very serious accusations to the Egyptian government, describing it as a “military-backed government”. Such words are mere rhetoric and are at odds with the reality of Egypt’s established civil State with all its legitimate institutions, governed by a constitution approved by the people in a referendum. Officials of State institutions (the Presidency and Parliament) came into power through free elections monitored by hundreds of reporters from around the world, including the correspondent of your esteemed newspaper.
– At the same time, your correspondent in the aforementioned report accused officials in Egypt of exploiting amendments to the emergency law to grant the country’s security institutions additional powers. It is a false accusation as the amendments to the emergency law were necessitated by the country’s need to take extraordinary measures to counter the spread of the “Coronavirus”. These are appropriate measures, considerably mitigated than those that all the nations of the world, including the United States itself, have had to take.
– The correspondent based his report on a highly politicized statement by Human Rights Watch, which was rejected by Egypt. Besides, what your reporter has said about giving the State’s official authorities the powers to “ban or limit public and private gatherings, to shut down schools, and to restrict people from owning, transporting, selling, buying or exporting any goods or services, as well as control their prices” are necessary measures taken by all the countries of the world in the face of the pandemic.
– Your correspondent, who resorted to mere platitude by what he labeled “activists” and a tendentious statement by HRW, lives in Cairo and could have followed the rules of journalistic work by resorting to the relevant sources and taking their views into account when publishing the report, as well as following up on the reality in the Egyptian street, where citizens roam in much greater freedom than other countries despite the spread of the pandemic; a matter reflecting that the intervention of all official authorities in the lives of individuals is at a lower level than any measures in other countries.
– The correspondent claimed that “the government did not respond to a request for comment”. Unfortunately, the State Information Service has not received any communication from the correspondent in this regard. In fact, the correspondent consistently has not contacted SIS to communicate with stakeholders in Egypt for most of his reports abundant in allegations and fallacies.
– Your correspondent made false claims that the Egyptian people’s revolution in 2013 to get rid of religious fascism was a “military coup”, While ignoring the armed terrorism that our country has been subjected to so far by these terrorist groups invoking the Islamic religion, and claiming that terrorists who are being fairly tried in public for their crimes are political opponents.
– Your correspondent ignored all the rules of the journalism profession when he turned to a researcher at the Washington-based Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy, and an unknown researcher said to be from Amnesty International. It would have been prudent for him to witness firsthand the situation on the ground, rather than propagating their baseless claims and ignoring the views of the concerned parties on these allegations, thus violating press rules requiring that the views of all parties be taken on an equal footing.
– In his report, your correspondent criticizes the temporary suspension of prison visits and sees it as a way to “silence political prisoners”, while it is a measure to protect the prisoners themselves from the pandemic. Prison visits have been replaced by other means of communication between prisoners and their relatives. Present-day realities confirm that this measure has so far helped to protect the lives of prisoners.
– This biased, unprofessional and subjective report is a continuation of the excesses of your correspondent in Cairo, based in its entirety on raising the most serious accusations against the State institutions in Egypt, resorting to the same type of sources, either anonymous sources labelled as “activists”, or researchers, harboring well-known negative stances against Egypt, who do not reside in it and even have not entered it for years.
– The presence of the reporter in Cairo and granting him accreditation as a foreign correspondent means, under journalistic customs worldwide, that the correspondent has to apprise himself of the reality and to communicate with all parties, not to poll the opinions of everyone who has antagonism with the Egyptian State around the world.
In light of all the above, we wish to inform you that the State Information Service has met with Mr. Sudarsan Raghavan and warned him of the need to adhere to the proper professional standards when practicing his journalistic work in Egypt, in accordance with his accreditation as a foreign correspondent. Otherwise, we will have to take measures, permitted by law in Egypt and the guidelines regulating the work of accredited foreign correspondents, and which are applied not only in Egypt, but also globally.
In conclusion, we wish to express to you our sincere appreciation to the esteemed “The Washington Post” newspaper, which undoubtedly would not tolerate such professional violations by its Cairo bureau chief, which are inconsistent with the newspaper’s status and credibility.
Sincerely,
?Diaa Rashwan
?Chairman, State Information Service”
Spanish Police: Moroccan ISIS Sympathizer Radicalized Multiple Youths
https://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2020/05/303696/spanish-police-moroccan-isis-sympathizer-radicalized-multiple-youths/
“After the arrest of a Moroccan ISIS sympathizer on May 20, Spanish police have said the suspect managed to convince several youths to join the terrorist group.
Spanish media reported last week that police arrested the suspect in Bolanos de Calatrava in Spain’s Ciudad Real.
Maghreb Arab Press (MAP) quoted a statement from the Spanish police on May 23 saying the General Commissariat of Information (CGI) in Spain investigated the activity of the terror cell in collaboration with the General Directorate of Territorial Surveillance (DGST) and the European Police Agency (EUROPOL).
The Moroccan mastermind of the cell managed to convince “many young people in his country who planned terror operations in Morocco and the UAE,” the statement said.
Spanish police, in collaboration with Moroccan security services, managed to identify the suspect’s residence in Spain, which led to his arrest. Meanwhile, Morocco’s DGST managed to arrest all additional suspects in several operations.
“During his stay in Spain, [the suspect] resumed his activities in attracting and recruiting new members by grouping many [ISIS] sympathizers and [radicalized] supporters,” the CGI added.
The suspect was holding meetings to recruit suspects at his residence.
“The suspect and his followers went together to some parties that were organized in some neighboring cities where they were criticizing with great violence of some Western customs and showed intense hatred towards those who were participating in these parties,” the statement continued.
The Moroccan ISIS sympathizer had been watching videos of terror attacks in Europe, including the attack against the Charlie Hebdo magazine.
“He recently expressed his hatred towards security forces and expressed his desire to ask them while carrying their duties,” the CGI added.
Spanish news outlet ABC said the cell leader fled Morocco several years ago before settling in Spain.
Spain and Morocco collaborate regularly in the fight against terrorism. The recent operation comes after the arrest of a Moroccan man in Barcelona for his alleged ties with ISIS on May 8. Spain arrested the suspect in collaboration with the United States’ FBI and Morocco’s DGST.”

This may at least explain the emergence of the mafia.
A seed of division in our societies seems to have been planted here. If you ask yourself where this comes from, the only thing that comes to mind is digitalisation. It temporally goes along with all the madness.
It does not seem to lead to improvement, but to destruction. The “migration crisis” is also a fruit of this. Unnoticed globalization of our brains. How much time we once spent with real people. Now everyone stares anxiously at the screen.
I personally am free of all fear, because I have confidence in the natural order of the world. But the world around me is going absolutely crazy. It seems that humanity has been robbed of its collective consciousness.
Recently I read about the “artamans”. https://www.amren.com/news/2020/05/iq-studies-behind-the-iron-curtain/

I live in a house with many nationalities. But it always turns out that our habits are too different, which is a source of great conflict.
One can at least observe that the peoples do not allow this new doctrine to be imposed on them without resistance. Such problems are not known in Eastern Europe.
Ever since I encouraged Shawn to plant a garden, he has been tireless in his efforts to become a gardener. I provide him with ideas, he provides the world with hard work.
I once had to work as a cemetery gardener because I had “insulted” a neighbour. I should either pay 1000 or so Euros or work. I went to work. You wouldn’t believe the things I’ve learned. One gets an awareness of the transitoriness of life.
“Get your life in order!” This Canadian is my source of inspiration. He’s two months older than me (1970), but he’s taking action. He’s Aries I Gemini. His entire existence is built on hard work. I live in the head, he lives in the body.
He has the freedom-loving pioneering spirit of the European conquerors in his soul. And we degenerate castrati?
If I am given the task of finding an absolutely perfect advertising term within one day, I find it.
Others will take weeks.
But I no longer know what my body or my hands are capable of.
I would trade my mental power for a little bit of his willpower at any time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voluntarism_(philosophy)
The word “motivation” contains the Latin movere.
The frustrating thing about observing this man is that we were all like that once. So the question where he gets his energy from is wrong. Right is: Where did our energy go?
However, he uses his energy for the creation of worthy things, which everyone can see coming into being. He has a lucky hand in the question of where, how and when. Energy is useless if it gets out of hand destructively instead of being channelled intelligently. Today’s world hardly allows for such niches.
The embarrassing question is why everyone watches him and makes him popular. If we were all Canadian dropouts, he’d still come out on top. He knows what he wants. He just does it, he makes all our dreams come true. But it also takes a look at our society. Our dreams take place virtually.
Two generations back, we would have been asked what was so “unusual” about it?
I explained to Shawn how much his effect would be increased if he smiled more often.
His video commentators couldn’t believe that he was smiling now!
His video with a shaved face has almost 2 million views. And makes him ten years younger.
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HwPoLOZkFyE/maxresdefault.jpg
“Indiana Jones” is just an ugly grotto olm against him! Or let’s say a hobgoblin.
I told him a strong-willed chin doesn’t need a beard to hide itself.
Shawn was in crisis at the time. He was worried that he might lose his wife? I told him to stay on top of things and to be sure of what he was doing. Only then will she stay with him and follow him.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gG-J70FxMo
He had to take the risk. Now he had prepared the nest. Among other things I advised him to change “My Self Reliance” into “Our Self Reliance” and to involve his wife in the films. And I said: “Btw., Women love gardens and flowers!”
Then came – luckily, one can say – the “Corona Crisis”, which encouraged both of them to dare their common adventure.
I also advised him never to wear that dark t-shirt again, as if he was celebrating his own funeral. Since then, I’ve never seen him wearing it again.
I even advised him to name his houses (“villa” name of the woman) and paths after his wife and his bitch. That’s how even writers do it. Then she does not feel like just an appendage, but identifies with his life’s work.
I also advised him to delete the “mourning video” right away! But his honesty won’t let him do that.
Of course I have proven everything scientifically!

This man really does everything to make his loved ones happy. If she leaves him, the woman is an idiot. What makes him so sympathetic is that he’s unsure about it.
But he reached the limit: “How far can I go without giving myself up?” A question that would be answered by the woman’s disinterest. He saved himself, his cause and his happiness.
I told him that this is exactly the point between you that decides whether she is willing to share your path. If she goes, she’s not “wrong”, but other things are just more important to her. Women are communicative beings, it requires his sensitivity to allow her to live in the wilderness. So he is the one who has to be careful here, because it is her life.
He could give well-attended lectures on his seclusion in cities where she has the opportunity not only to accompany him but also to maintain contacts.
“How about building a seasonal cabin for visitors?” There is a solution!
One of his videos is called “Call of the Wild”. I have a subersive influence. I had previously emailed him about Jack London (and especially German film adaptations). People respond to that indirectly. A lawyer told me, “Don’t let people steal your ideas!” Should I patent my inspirations? Since my moon is in Aquarius, ideas should belong to everyone. It’s the feeling of having to be different than everyone else. As you can see, I take on this task with flying colors.
Getting out of line is my “element”. I have to stand out from the crowd. Even if it makes me look ridiculous.
Sorry for my “stream of consciousness” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_of_consciousness_(psychology)
If everyone voted right, I would vote left, if everyone voted left, I would vote right. Just in protest and out of justice.
Something in me protects the weak and weakens the (alledged) “strong”. Whoever needs help gets my hand, whoever is inflated I push off the pedestal by making fun of him in public. My soul is deeply democratic.
I want the best for everyone, progress, freedom and brotherhood. Even if I myself am reluctant to belong to a community, let alone join a party.
I do not sit down at a table with left or right-wing extremists. Why: Because I know that both are wrong.
The urge to be human and yet deeply original makes up my whole being. I love being special. My premonitions are so foresighted that I saw everything coming 20 years ago. I can put it together in my mind.
The reason for this is my widely spread knowledge, which acts more intuitively than rationally. I can even sense whether someone is going to live much longer or not.
Again and again I made the experience that what I had been brooding about for years later became true, and suddenly everyone was talking about it. I am ahead of my time. The world is taking place before my eyes with a delay. But it is not my job to intervene in the course of history.
Several laws of nature seem to work side by side. Heisenberg’s world formula is an illusion. “What is the key to everything”, is the Faustian Question?
