Reader’s Links for May 29, 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. Thank goodness the CASE COUNT is slowly coming down here in Ontari-ari-ari-o. Premier Dug Ford says Ontario’s vaccine rollout is the best in the world! Chief Medical Officer Theresa (CCP) Tam says the pandemic has taken a turn for the better! The Radio Man says the case count is dropping! They’ve lifted the curfew across the river in La Belle Province! Heroic Dear Leader says he is doing everything he can to save us! I’m running out of exclamation marks!

    The Radio Man is very slick. Very clever. He says so matter-of-factly, so off-the-cuff-ly, that the case count is dropping because the injections are working. The Radio Man knows this isn’t, like, 1938 and War of the Worlds, where Uncle Chester is going to be sucked-in sideways by an alien invasion. (Ha-ha, just wait.) No, the Radio Man is super cool. He seamlessly correlates the revved-up PCR case count drop with the great immunization push. I wonder if this is what it was like in the big wars. You know, y’all did your part for the Gipper, and all that. Come to think of it I guess this is why they tried to call this a war–to try to recapture some of that old-time nostalgic spirit of coming together for the cause. See how they think when they are composing? An attempt at a narrative angle that never quite worked. Well, I would have done my part for the Gipper, rest assured. But for Dug Ford?

    They are jabbing and stabbing and sticking needles into people as fast as they can around here. I bet if a moose or a squirrel farts or sneezes even they can line up and get their very own private pig sticker, too. And if it works, it works, right? Yes, this is the Radio Man’s clever little leap. He knows, in fact, this is STILL 1938 because for all our supposed modern, fangled sophistication, people are still human beans and are still vulnerable to the same old tricks.

    Our masters of scientism have the majority convinced that this stink-less skunk is being solved by a magic syrum and not by–wait for it…wait for it–SUMMER! (Had one left! No two.)

    Summer is here just like summer came last year and the flu bug fu$ked-off like it always does. And no one asks a single doctor or scientist to actually provide PROOF of this very specious claim. And everyone has amnesia that summer ever came before. Amazing, isn’t it?

    One foot on the pedal,
    One foot on the gas,
    The driver is the mystery,
    But we should no more care,
    For all will be revealed,
    If we no longer scare.

    Mass hypnosis by any other name would smell as sweet.

  2. An African stood up on the train just now, and declared “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
    https://biblehub.com/john/3-16.htm

    Fundamental Jewish people killed Jesus for blaspheming their beliefs; and Roman Christians called this a blood-offering that was predestined anyway in order to save the last of humanity before Judgement Day and the Great Reset.

    These Christians also claimed that their Jesus-God was just doing a walkthrough when He received His Baptism of Repentance before John The Baptist, to then spend forty days and nights in the wilderness to confront Satan.

    Whereas, fasting-meditation is listening for the imprint that was once your source-code, your slavery, your bondage of pride and identity hiding the truth behind the excuses of good and evil, avoiding the shame, apology and forgiveness – of the truth that set you free.

    Instead, baptism is only a ritual for Christians, to be Baptized in His Name, idolatry, to ride his coat tails, and everytime backslide, and claim The Devil made them do it.

    The way to the truth and the life, twisted by the pen of a priest.

    • Jesus wanted the Christians to be recognized as an official Jewish sect as were the Essenes, the Sadducees and the Pharisees, so they could all pray in the temple as group. The temple elders saw him as a Johhny-come-lately and refused as they believed that when he died so would the Christians as a group. Thus, JoN contrived a confrontation using his most trusted friend, Judas Iscariot, to do the dirty work. He could trust no one else with this. However for the Romans the number of rebels had recently proliferated and their treatment became even harsher and crucifixion now standard. The elders saw a way to silence JoN for once and for all and informed the romans that he was plotting against them. He was actually non-violently plotting against the elders but not the Romans but they never bothered differentiating here. This was no different to how any power group , religious, ideological or not, would solve such a problem.

      • Thank you Michelle.

        “Jesus wanted the Christians to be recognized as an official Jewish sect as were the Essenes, the Sadducees and the Pharisees, so they could all pray in the temple as group.”

        Why?

        Wasn’t healing the sick and driving out demons enough? Just to fulfill The Law.

        Why create an additional sect with their religion on their sleeves?

        Can’t the Pharasee become a better Pharasee? A Sadducee a better Sadducee? A Black a better black. A Communist a better communist? Not one of them now able to kill another human being for having a different belief and way of life?

        Did he want the truth about yourself to set you free, or your Faith for what is and isn’t sacred – for would he have left a Black Stone in the Kaaba and made a town to be prayed to?

    ?To be clear, the spending bill is actually the creation of a national debt so massive that it has the means to destabilize a democracy dependent on a functioning economy.

    ?For the Chinese Communist Party, seeking to master the 21st Century as the one global superpower, it represents a strategic victory without so much as firing a single bullet. They know that an economically weakened America cannot possibly sustain its military leadership when it is burdened with paying down a massive debt. Our allies and unaligned nations recognize this threat as well, and will reinvent their relationship with China if they believe America’s best days are in the past.

    ?What makes the Administration believe that Corporate America would not respond with massive restructuring to avoid a confiscatory tax bill — or passing the added cost on to the consumer, or moving the company’s headquarters offshore to a country with a lower corporate rate — to avoid the threat of losing its international competitive edge? Corporations have good accountants, too.

    ?Few debate the idea that our nation’s infrastructure is in need of serious attention but the level of political dishonesty in characterizing the Biden plan as “infrastructure” has even made many in his own party queasy. Significant portions of the bill are earmarked for “environmental” agendas and seeming favors to campaign donors, such as billions in subsidies for electric vehicles. The proposed bill cries out for more sunlight and vast quantities of disinfectant.

    ?This recipe for an economic apocalypse comes at a time when new job creation has stagnated and the specter of a serious inflation has begun to emerge…. As historians will tell you if we have the wisdom to listen, no one escapes the devastation of a debtor nation. No one.

    One suspects that historians and economists will consistently agree on one irrefutable fact: nations that allow their economies to bathe in red ink are destined to fail. This failure takes many roads and differs in timing, but massive, uncontrolled national deficits eventually reduce a nation state to being a pauper, a pariah — and pathetic.

    Enter Joe Biden’s “American Jobs Plan,” a $2.3 trillion spending scheme that takes some Americans’ most fevered fantasies and wraps them inside an “infrastructure” label in an effort to convince Capitol Hill that the spending is all about roads and bridges. An analysis by the Wharton School places plenty of caution flags on this initiative.

    To be clear, the spending bill is actually the creation of a national debt so massive that it has the means to destabilize a democracy dependent on a functioning economy.

    For the Chinese Communist Party seeking to master the 21st Century as the one global superpower, it represents a strategic victory without so much as firing a single bullet. They know that an economically weakened America cannot possible sustain its military leadership when it is burdened with paying down a massive debt. Our allies and unaligned nations recognize this threat as well, and will reinvent their relationship with China if they believe America’s best days are in the past.

    Even the White House acknowledges that their spending debt would take 15 years to pay off, providing that Biden’s proposed corporate tax hikes generate the projected revenue – itself highly questionable. What makes the Administration believe that Corporate America would not respond with massive restructuring to avoid a confiscatory tax bill — or passing the added cost on to the consumer, or moving the company’s headquarters offshore to a country with a lower corporate rate — to avoid the threat of losing its international competitive edge? Corporations have good accountants, too.

    Few debate the idea that our nation’s infrastructure is in need of serious attention but the level of political dishonesty in characterizing the Biden plan as “infrastructure” has even made many in his own party queasy. Significant portions of the bill are earmarked for “environmental” agendas and seeming favors to campaign donors, such as billions in subsidies for electric vehicles. The proposed bill cries out for more sunlight and vast quantities of disinfectant. Sadly, the bill suggests a clumsy political strategy to prevent open debate and an honest review of the Biden agenda.

    This recipe for an economic apocalypse comes at a time when new job creation has stagnated and the specter of a serious inflation has begun to emerge. Biden’s spending spree is far beyond Washington’s traditional pork. It is creating a level of unsustainable debt in pursuit of a social agenda that could literally sink everyone, drowning all, regardless of which political party they claim.

    As historians will tell you if we have the wisdom to listen, no one escapes the devastation of a debtor nation. No one.

  4. Senate Republicans filibuster, block approval of January 6 commission – Liberty Unyielding

    Senate Republicans filibuster, block approval of January 6 commission

    Live shot of the Senate. File. (Image: ABC News screen grab)

    The Republicans weren’t united, but they were united enough.

    Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer scheduled a vote on cloture on Friday to advance the bill to form a January 6 commission on the Capitol riot. The vote on the commission bill could pass with a simple majority; i.e., at worst, with Vice President Kamala Harris breaking a 50-50 tie on party lines. But to break a filibuster to achieve cloture, and advance the bill for a final vote, the bill’s proponents needed 60 votes.

    A short while ago the Republicans launched their filibuster, as Minority Leader Mitch McConnell had earlier suggested they would. The cloture vote ensued very quickly.

    It was defeated 54-35. Two Democrats were absent, but the 54-vote majority was boosted by six Republicans who voted with the 48 Democrats present for cloture. They were the usual suspects; readers could rattle off their names without having to think twice: Collins, Murkowski, Romney, Cassidy, Portman, and Sasse.

    It’s not certain that Dr. Anthony Fauci will recover from this revelation, although one feature of it it isn’t as bad as it sounds in the popular retelling, which began on 28 May with an article in The Australian.

    The shorthand version has left the impression that Fauci was somewhat cavalier about the possibility of a pandemic in a 2012 piece he published with the American Society for Microbiology. At Townhall, Katie Pavlich has this excerpt from the Australian article, which quotes Fauci from 2012 (the Australian article is behind a paywall):

  11. DAILY MAIL – EXCLUSIVE: COVID-19 ‘has NO credible natural ancestor’ and WAS created by Chinese scientists who then tried to cover their tracks with ‘retro-engineering’ to make it seem like it naturally arose from bats, explosive new study claims

    An explosive new study claims researchers found ‘unique fingerprints’ in COVID-19 samples that they say could only have arisen from manipulation in a laboratory

    DailyMail.com exclusively obtained the new 22-page paper authored by British Professor Angus Dalgleish and Norwegian scientist Dr. Birger Sørensen set to be published in the Quarterly Review of Biophysics Discovery

    The study showed there’s evidence to suggest Chinese scientists created the virus while working on a Gain of Function project in a Wuhan lab

    Gain of Function research, which was temporarily outlawed in the US, involves altering naturally-occurring viruses to make them more infectious in order to study their potential effects on humans

    According to the paper, Chinese scientists took a natural coronavirus ‘backbone’ found in Chinese cave bats and spliced onto it a new ‘spike’, turning it into the deadly and highly transmissible COVID-19

    The researchers, who concluded that COVID-19 ‘has no credible natural ancestor’, also believe scientists reverse-engineered versions of the virus to cover up their tracks

    ‘We think that there have been retro-engineered viruses created,’ Dalgleish told DailyMail.com.

    ‘They’ve changed the virus, then tried to make out it was in a sequence years ago.’

    The study also points to ‘deliberate destruction, concealment or contamination of data’ in Chinese labs and notes that ‘scientists who wished to share their findings haven’t been able to do so or have disappeared’

    Until recently, most experts had staunchly denied the origins of the virus were anything other than a natural infection leaping from animals to humans

    Earlier this week, Dr. Anthony Fauci defended US funding of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, saying the $600,000 grant was not approved for Gain of Function research

      […]The National Academy of Medicine in favor of compulsory vaccination
      For its part, in its press release dated May 25, the National Academy of Medicine underlines the performance of vaccines already approved which display “an effectiveness rate of 90 to 95% against severe forms of Covid-19”, and pleads thus for a gradual introduction of the vaccination obligation against the current epidemic. Recalling that such a decision had until then been ruled out by “the realistic argument of the lack of vaccines”, the learned society insisted in its press release on the fact that the expansion of the vaccination campaign was “necessary for the acquisition of collective immunity ”

  15. Congress’s VIP Air Marshal Program Canceled after Maxine Waters Debacle – Judicial Watch
    5-6 minutes
    Corruption Chronicles

    May 26, 2021 | Judicial Watch

    A scandal-plagued “VIP” program that provided members of Congress with Federal Air Marshals (FAM) often yanked from high-risk fights has been canceled after Judicial Watch exposed it earlier this month. As a result, hundreds of FAM are sitting idly at airports around the U.S. because the “VIP missions have stopped,” according to a federal law enforcement source with firsthand knowledge of the situation. A veteran air marshal who asked not to be identified said “the Washington Field Office in Washington D.C. was almost exclusively dedicated to VIP services for Congress.” Another longtime FAM told Judicial Watch he was deployed on several VIP missions with low-profile members of Congress. He said so many FAM were on standby for the VIP congressional program that now he and many of his colleagues are “sitting around the airport waiting for a mission.”

    Sonya Hightower-LaBosco, a retired FAM who serves as executive director of the Air Marshal National Council, confirmed to Judicial Watch this week that dozens of air marshals that evidently would have been delegated to members of Congress as part of the VIP initiative are waiting for assignments at airports nationwide. “Right now, there are almost 60 in D.C., 40 in Charlotte and another 40 in Orlando,” Hightower-LaBosco said. From January through April the covert VIP service dedicated more than 900 FAM on demand to members of Congress, Hightower-LaBosco said, citing agency data. The politicians often already traveled with plenty of security on flights that did not meet the threat criteria, usually determined by the FBI, for air marshals. In many instances FAM were plucked from high-risk flights to accompany an elected official, leaving the high-risk plane with no coverage.

    3-4 minutes

    A 14-year-old will face murder charges and will be tried as an adult after he reportedly stabbed a 13-year-old girl 114 times in a horrific attack that took her life, NBC News reported on Thursday.

    The attack was so vicious that a portion of the knife purportedly used in the attack broke off in the teen’s skull and stuck in her head.

    Nearly half of the wounds appeared to be defensive wounds, according to the report, and were found on the girl’s hands, arms, and head as she bravely tried to fight off her attacker.
    What are the details?

    Authorities discovered the body of 13-year-old Tristyn Bailey — a cheerleader at Patriot Oaks Academy in St. Johns, Florida — on May 9 in a wooded area.

    Customers at one Northern California cafe were taken aback Monday morning after they got a glimpse of the new store policy that greeted them at the door.

    “$5 FEE ADDED TO ORDERS PLACED WHILE WEARING A FACE MASK,” read the poster on the glass window at Fiddlehead’s Cafe in Mendocino. A second sign with the same memo was located by the register.

    Just below the large print were two additional notes on the poster that warned guests if they were “caught bragging” about their vaccines “an additional $5 fee” would be added to their bill. The sign claims the fees will be donated to local charities assisting domestic abuse victims.

    (Previously, Fiddlehead’s Cafe had a second sign on its storefront that’s circulated on social media and read “Get your free COVID-19 vaccine card here!” The sign has since been removed.)
