Reader’s Links for January 28, 2021

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.

    “Chief of a banned militant group blamed for a deadly reign of terror in a border region of Pakistan has been killed in a roadside bomb attack in southern Afghanistan, the provincial governor confirmed on Thursday.

    “Mangal Bagh, the leader of Lashkar-e-Islam terrorist group, was killed along with two of his comrades in a roadside bomb blast in the Bandar Dara area of Achin district of Nangarhar this morning,” provincial governor Ziaulhaq Amarkhil wrote on his verified Twitter handle.

    Bagh was involved in a number of terrorist activities in the area, added Ziaulhaq, who is also senior advisor to President Ashraf Ghani on political and public affairs. Bagh’s LeI group has been affiliated with the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) which is responsible for most terrorist violence in Pakistan.

    Mangal Bagh, a truck cleaner-turned-warlord, held sway over Bara tehsil of the erstwhile Khyber Agency until June 2008 when his armed vigilantes were routed in a security operation. Since then he has been on the run, mostly operating from southern Afghanistan where his loyalists have found safe havens…”

  2. Frontex pulls out of Hungary over claims that migrants are pushed back to Serbia

    “Frontex will suspend its activities in Hungary, confirmed Chris Borowski, a spokesman for the EU border guard Frontex, news portal hvg.hu reports.

    The decision from Frontex came after what he claimed was Hungary refusing to implement the European Court of Justice’s ruling of Dec. 17, which mandated, among other things, that Hungary was illegally forcing migrants back into Serbia.

    According to the December verdict, by forcibly escorting the applicants to the other side of the fence a few meters from the Hungarian-Serbian border, the Hungarian police authorities are deporting them on a strip of land where no infrastructure is available, within the meaning of the EU’s “expulsion” directive.

    In doing so, the ECJ ruled that Hungary is violating EU and international law, as in practice the migrants have no choice but to leave the territory of Hungary and depart for Serbia without the possibility of legal remedy. The Hungarian government has not yet done anything to repeal or amend provisions in relation to EU law. If Frontex continued to be involved in border protection activities in Hungary, it asserts that it would run the risk of engaging in a practice contrary to EU law.

    “After December’s European Court of Justice ruling demanding Hungary stop pushbacks into Serbia, the suspension of Frontex border operations in Hungary is welcome” European Commissioner for Home Affairs Ylva Johansson tweeted.

    Warsaw-based Frontex is helping the member states guarding the external borders with border protection, and strengthening the organization is one of the European Union’s priorities, increasing its staff from the current 1,000 to 10,000.”
