Reader’s Links for March 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.

  1. Former federal prosecutor starts campaign demanding all companies halt donations to nearly 150 Republicans

    By: Joseph Simonson, The Washington Examiner, March 26, 2021:
    In what is being billed as an open pressure campaign on corporate America, a former federal prosecutor established an organization that demands all businesses state that President Joe Biden fairly beat former President Donald Trump in November 2020.

    Glenn Kirschner, a former prosecutor in the Army and U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia’s office–turned–MSNBC pundit, launched the campaign earlier in March.

    “The Democracy Pledge is a simple commitment that corporations, companies and businesses can make to support democracy by affirming the legitimacy of the 2020 Presidential election,” reads the Democracy Pledge’s website. “It’s a promise not to aid those who seek to tear down democracy for political gain.”

    Few companies have signed the pledge, with most being small mom and pop shops.

    Companies involved also pledge not to “support, donate to or endorse politicians, political campaigns or political action committees that promoted false conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 presidential elections (or otherwise acted in ways contrary to a representative democracy).”

    High Court Judge Says The Lockdown Will Last 10 Years…

    Former British Supreme Court Judge Lord Sumption is warning that the lockdown brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic might be kept in place for 10 years.

    Lord Sumption has been a long time critic of the lockdown and has compared it to government rationing, something that lasted 9 years after the end of the second world war. While speaking on the effects of the pandemic Lord Sumption said “An interesting parallel is the continuation of wartime food rationing after the last war. People were in favor of that because they were in favor of social control”.

    These comments from Lord Sumption came just after officials in the UK claiming that the country will remain lockdown until other countries vaccinate their citizenry. The process of mass vaccination will take years to achieve as many nations have slow rolled the process and some have recalled specific vaccines.

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi must be living in an alternate universe. The Democrat leader says that because of her role as Speaker of the House that she holds the authority to seat or unseat who she deems worthy. You have to see it to believe it.

    Nancy Pelosi Claims She Has Power to Unseat House Members

    Volume 90%

    Pelosi’s outlandish claims come as Democrats attempt to steal a state-certified election to increase their historically slim majority in the House. Iowa Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks won her House race by a razor-thin majority-six voted to be exact. After multiple recounts and the state certified the results Miller-Meeks was sworn in as a member of Congress. Keep in mind Pelosi also presided over the ceremony. However now, Democrat Rita Hart is claiming that she actually won the Iowa race and the seat is rightfully hers.

    Department of Homeland Security (DHS) chief Alejandro Mayorkas has fired nearly all members of a homeland security advisory panel, retaining only its senior leadership, according to a letter obtained by media outlets and confirmed by Republicans on a House committee.

    In the March 26 letter (pdf) to members of the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC), Mayorkas announced that in “the service of an orderly transition to a new model for the HSAC,” he would be ending the current term of all HSAC members, effective Friday.

    Mayorkas wrote that, in weighing the “new model” for the HSAC, he is considering how it can “bring the greatest value to the Department and how the expertise, judgment, and counsel of its members can be harnessed most effectively to advance the Department’s mission.”
