Reader’s Links for September 22, 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.

    Scientists suggest evidence found for Biblical account of destruction

    “Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah” (detail). By English painter John Martin, 1852. Wikipedia

    By Sebastian Hughes

    Scientists believe they have found physical evidence that an exploding space rock could have inspired one of the most infamous stories in the Bible, archaeologist Christopher R. Moore wrote, Yahoo News reported.

    Scientists may have found proof of an icy space rock hurtling through the atmosphere at about 38,000 mph toward the ancient Biblical city Sodom, now called Tall el-Hammam, roughly 3,600 years ago, Moore wrote. The Bible describes the destruction of an urban center near the Dead Sea, with stones and fire falling from the sky.

    The discovery is the result of 15 years’ worth of excavation work, Moore wrote. Scientists suspect a firestorm led to the city’s destruction due to the presence of a roughly 5-foot-thick jumbled layer of charcoal, ash, melted mudbricks and melted pottery, called a destruction layer.

    The group was able to determine through analysis that the only event that could have raised temperatures enough to melt many of the materials found at the site was a cosmic impact, Moore wrote. Similar evidence was found at other suspected cosmic impacts, such as the crater created by the asteroid that triggered the dinosaur extinction.

  2. Austria Denies Social Programs to Non-Vaccinated

    Dr. Alexander Van der Bellen, who was inaugurated as the Federal President of the Republic of Austria on January 26, 2017, has taken another undemocratic, authoritarian position that anyone unemployed because of the state’s lockdowns who refuses the vaccine will lose ALL benefits. This is absolute tyranny and a disgrace to any country that pretends to be free. It has been reported:

    “Unusual measure: Austria’s Minister of Labor Martin Kocher (ÖVP) has decided to block unemployment benefits for job seekers if they do not apply for a reasonable position because a vaccination is required there or simply not accepting an offered position.”

    Something is seriously wrong. The vaccination was supposed to protect you, but now the unvaccinated threaten the vaccinated. Does that then prove that the vaccinations do not work? If the death rate is less than 1%, then why are governments forcing such vaccines?

    The object seems to be to justify tracking all people. If we cannot do anything without a COVID passport, then we are right back to the same type of control as Adolf Hitler. You cannot get on a train in France without a COVID passport. Canada is doing the same thing for travel. Australia is turning the country into a concentration camp where you cannot travel more than 5k from your residence even if vaccinated.

    Meanwhile, with this experimental vaccine, we have no idea of the long-term effects. We are supposed to trust the likes of Bill Gates, who is a college dropout with no medical background whatsoever. Our politicians are not trying to kill off people, but they are trying to alter society from the land of freedom to a fully tracked concentration camp where they must know everything we are doing. This is all because they intend to eliminate democracy and adopt the 2030 Agenda of Klaus Schwab, who I can tell you is a notorious control freak.

    Europe is gradually transforming into a concentration camp. Some think it will soon return to normal if they comply, but NO VACCINE will ever eliminate any coronavirus, the same with the flu or the common cold. It is IMPOSSIBLE, for it also resides in animals. So this has been one giant lie, and they feed it out to us one tiny step at a time. Then they are complete, and it is too late to resist.

    While our politicians are simply looking for control, Gates has an entirely different agenda, pretending to care about society, and at the same time, holding secret meetings about reducing the population of the world. And this is the guy our politicians embrace? I think they are too busying counting their money and dreaming of absolute power. Creating COVID Passports will be the same as the income tax in 1913 which was 1% only on the rich. It is now criminal not to file an income tax and if you put cash in a safe deposit box, read the fine print – that is now money laundering defined as hiding money from the government. COVID Passports will be permanent – they will not vanish because there will NEVER be a return to NORMAL. Anyone who believes the government is simply a sublime fool.

  4. Vlad- the world owes you a debt of gratitude for the work that you are doing in exposing this tyranny.

    These articles are especially horrifying but we need to get the word out.

    I live in the NY Gulag just north of NY City and can tell you that this new governor is even worse than Killer Cuomo, more of an overbearing tyrant that I thought it was possible to be. Her first acts upon taking office: mask mandates/ child abuse for all children over the age of 2, gutting our Open Meetings and Freedom of Information law and vax mandates.for many workers.

    My local entertainment venue, an old theater that had great live music shows BC (Before Covid) now requires vax passports to be allowed in. Needless to say, I will not be attending any more concerts or entertainment at that venue.

    The small towns and cities near me in the suburbs are populated with Demo Marxists who act like it’s still March- 2020. My town hall is still under lock down! How convenient. It used to be so easy to just walk right in and talk to our “public servants” but now they have the excuse not to let us see what they really do at their no show jobs.

    I don’t believe this is going to end any time soon, not in the Blue Commie States. We have a few groups that are really trying to fight but it is not easy, we are not organized.

    Keep publishing your Samizdat, it is much needed.

  5. Dictator Doug implements vaccine passports in Ontario. Says “vaccine passport system is a temporary, exceptional measure”. Yaps something to the effect people have had a hard time after a divisive election and then he divides the population with his POLITICAL/ nothing to do with your health passports.

    I wonder if he thinks this “brilliant political move” will get him re-elected. Is he that naive/stupid to believe the Liberals will vote for him next year, after he has turned his back on true Conservatives.

    DITCH DOUG FORD

  6. Does dithering Doug Ford know the CDC’s under reported Vaccine Adverse Reactions Events as of last week listed 701,561 adverse reactions, 14,925 DEATHS, Only 91,523 serious injuries / brain bleeds, strokes, Guillain Barre Syndrome, Bell’s Palsy, myocarditis, heart attacks, miscarriages……….DEATHS and he will be happy when everyone is vaccinated!

  7. BBC – New Zealand Covid: Men caught smuggling KFC into lockdown-hit Auckland

    NZ police have made a bizarre arrest after a pair of alleged gang associates were caught trying to enter Auckland with a boot full of KFC chicken and tens of thousands of dollars.

    The men were charged with breaching the country’s tough Covid-19 rules.

    Under Auckland’s strict Level 4 lockdown, all restaurants, including take-away services, remain closed.

    Police said the men, aged 23 and 30, had travelled from Hamilton, about 75 miles south of Auckland.

    A police spokesperson told the BBC that officers made the arrest after they noticed a suspicious looking vehicle travelling on a gravel road on the outskirts of the city.

    “Upon seeing the police car, the vehicle did a u-turn and sped off trying to evade police,” they said. “The vehicle was searched and police located the cash, alongside empty ounce bags and a large amount of takeaways.”

    Police photos showed at least three buckets of chicken, about 10 cups of coleslaw, a large package of fries, and four large bags containing other KFC items.

    They also seized NZ$100,000 (US$70,000; £51,000) in cash.

    It is unclear whether the men intended to sell the food or if they hoped to use it as a distraction if they were to be pulled over.

    The spokesperson said that the men would appear in court later in the year for breaching public health rules but added that further charges are also likely. The investigation is ongoing.

    The pair’s risky late night food run means they now face heavy punishments under New Zealand’s tough anti-Covid laws. Fines can reach up to NZ$4,000 and some offenders can even face prison sentences of up to six months.

    The men are not the first New Zealanders whose fast-food cravings have landed them in trouble with authorities. Last week a 20-year-old man was charged after he posted a video on Tiktok showing him leaving Auckland and purchasing a large amount of food from McDonalds.

    Auckland will move to a Level 3 lockdown from midnight on Tuesday. However, freedoms will still be severely limited, with residents confined to their homes unless they are attending school, work or shopping.

    The rest of the country remains at a Level 2 lockdown with shops, restaurants, bars and nightclubs all open.

  11. TIMES OF ISRAEL – Israel said asking US, EU: Apply our new rules on boosters to Israeli arrivals

    Jerusalem has reportedly requested that other countries not consider its citizens to be vaccinated if they don’t get 3rd dose 6 months after receiving 2nd

    Israel has reportedly asked the United States and European Union to adopt its soon-to-be-updated rules for Israeli travelers, under which eligible people who have not received coronavirus booster shots will no longer be recognized as vaccinated.

    Starting October 3, anyone who has not received a booster shot six months after getting a second vaccine dose will have their Green Pass revoked, denying them entry to certain venues and events that require proof of vaccination, recovery from COVID-19 or a negative test result.

    According to a Channel 12 news report Tuesday, Israel wants the US and EU member states to use the Health Ministry’s criteria concerning the vaccination status of arriving Israeli travelers, which could cause those who were inoculated but have not received a third vaccine dose in the six months since to be denied entry to these countries.

    The network said the matter was raised last week in meetings attended by Health Ministry officials and Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.

    Last week, Israel reached an agreement with the EU to mutually recognize vaccine certificates –– though it does not supersede entry requirements of each member state — and is in talks with the US on a similar agreement.

    The TV report did not specify if Israel was also considering applying its new Green Pass criteria to vaccinated travelers from other countries — requiring them to have received a booster to enter if six months have passed since they were first considered fully vaccinated — or only wants other countries to enforce this standard for Israelis overseas.

    Israel has been a pioneer in offering booster shots, with all those over 12 eligible to get them five months after vaccination. Other countries that have approved administering extra doses have largely limited them to older people and others considered high-risk.

    Channel 12 also reported the Health Ministry has shelved some proposed sanctions on vaccine holdouts following criticism.

    “Vaccine refusers are what separates between us and the defeat of the [Delta] variant, but there won’t be restrictions on health insurance or medical treatment for the unvaccinated,” an unnamed senior ministry official was quoted saying.

    The report came after the Finance Ministry began circulating a bill Monday that would strip unemployment benefits for those refusing to be vaccinated.

    Meanwhile, the Health Ministry said 8,691 new coronavirus were recorded Monday, accounting for 5.12 percent of all tests performed that day. Another 3,801 infections were confirmed since midnight. According to ministry figures, there were 710 COVID patients in serious condition, including 187 on ventilators.

    The death toll stood at 7,567, 11 fatalities from COVID complications on Monday and another since midnight.

    Among the new deaths was an unvaccinated 31-year-old woman from the Haredi settlement of Modiin Illit, who was pronounced dead shortly after being brought in serious condition to Shamir Medical Center outside Tel Aviv.

    The ministry also said that as of Tuesday evening, 6,072,254 Israelis have received at least one vaccine dose, 5,591,789 have gotten both shots and 3,101,551 have been administered a booster.
