Reader’s Links for November 6, 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. My better(?) half asked me to post this here for her as she cannot. (apologies if old news):

    Hundreds of world leaders, powerful politicians, billionaires, celebrities, religious leaders and drug dealers have been hiding their investments in mansions, exclusive beachfront property, yachts and other assets for the past quarter-century, according to a review of nearly 12 million files obtained from 14 firms located around the world.

    The report released Sunday by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists involved 600 journalists from 150 media outlets in 117 countries. It’s being dubbed the “Pandora Papers” because the findings shed light on the previously hidden dealings of the elite and the corrupt, and how they have used offshore accounts to shield assets collectively worth trillions of dollars.

    The more than 330 current and former politicians identified as beneficiaries of the secret accounts include Jordan’s King Abdullah II, former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair, Czech Republic Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, Ecuador’s President Guillermo Lasso, and associates of both Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

    The billionaires called out in the report include Turkish construction mogul Erman Ilicak and Robert T. Brockman, the former CEO of software maker Reynolds & Reynolds.

    Many of the accounts were designed to evade taxes and conceal assets for other shady reasons, according to the report.

    • Finding out where people legally put their money instead of finding out how they illegally got their money is not journalism but simply hacking legal institutions.

      The silence of loud crashes falls around their heads as no one gets arrested. But this was all about getting the masses to know how rich they are to discredit them. What hostile government spy agency had fed them this?

      Damned as the filthy rich.

      In other news, over 600 journalists expose a female-impersonators’ living-body sculptures in the press. Every day.

      Whereas, we should learn from them and handle money properly to make it work for us.

      Over to Johnnyu.

      • Good morning PC, Will. Hope you are well. It is a beautiful autumn morning here in my parts. The leaves are exploding with colour. I’m sure Eeyore will be out with his camera today to show us something new.

        There are few greater virtues than to express one’s love for family than in hard work. Compounding one’s capital through legal risk takes courage, smarts and believing in oneself. This is capitalism.

        Cronies with offshore havens packed with cash, stolen and skimmed, are not capitalists, but symptoms of a Keynesian era now ending, and enabled by the architects of the very system they evade. I believe this is the true root of the Great Reset, and of all we see going on around us. –A new monetary regime with a new world reserve currency. And unless the new is a hard currency backed by precious metals, it is the same as the old. Most certainly the Central Bankers will dress up their new offering as if it is good as gold.

    • zero hedge – Conflict Of Interest? AG Garland’s Family Getting Rich Selling Critical Race Theory Materials To Schools

      When it comes to conflicts of interest, Attorney General Merrick Garland appears to have a huge one.

      Merrick’s daughter, Rebecca Garland, is married to the co-founder of an education resource company that pushes critical race theory – which angry parents across the country are protesting.

      Taking matters into his own hands, AG Garland tapped the FBI on Monday to huddle with local leaders to address a “disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence” against teachers and school board members.

      […}In June, several meeting attendees and newly elected board members at the Moore County School District in North Carolina pushed back against continuing their contract with Panorama – with one calling it an “indoctrination platform” which aims to mold students into “social justice warriors.”

      […]In May, the Johnston County Report – a local North Carolina outlet – did a deep dive on Panorama in an article entitled “Activists In Our Schools: Big Data” in which they described Panorama as a “Big Data company that collects and performs analytics. Data Analytics takes in raw data and formulates it to make process decisions.”

      […]Panorama charges between $500 to $3,000 per school for their basic data tools and Playbook. Just the annual survey screener for the Chapel Hill- Carrboro City Schools was $29,000 for a one year contract. Through a records request it was disclosed in 2020-2021 JCPS paid $214,000 for a one year contract with Panorama Education.

      Meanwhile, Panorama officially took a ‘stand against systemic racism’ in the wake of the George Floyd murder – in which they say “Decisively: Black people matter. Black students matter. Black educators matter. Black teammates matter. Black lives matter.”

      […]And for any parent who has a problem with this, daddy Garland just activated the FBI.

    • Is Canada still considered a democracy? Justine Trudeau does not have the right to make anyone get the vaccine, he should step down.

      Nice to see the People’s Party of Canada making plans to have an Ontario People’s Party. They could just call it the Doug Ford Replacement Party, or the Real Conservative Party. No pinkies allowed hopefully.

    A knife attack on a high-speed train in the German state of Bavaria has left three people “severely injured”, with the alleged perpetrator quickly arrested.

    A spokesperson for the Bavarian Red Cross, which has 110 responders on the scene, said the organisation processed three “severely injured” people. In addition, 200 to 300 people were removed from the train and were being taken care of at a nearby location.

    […]Police said that a man had been arrested, but did not give any more details.

    reuters – Several injured in knife attack on German train

    FRANKFURT, Nov 6 (Reuters) – Several people were injured in a knife attack on an express train between the south German cities of Regensburg and Nuremberg on Saturday and a male suspect has been arrested, police said.

    “There has been an attack on an ICE (Intercity-Express) train and police shortly afterwards arrested a male person, and several people were injured,” a spokesman for the Oberpfalz police authority said.

    The online edition of the daily Bild said earlier that three people were injured on the train.

    There was no evidence that other attackers were at large, the police spokesman said.

    Police said the attack happened around 0800 GMT in the district of Neumarkt and the train was stationary at Seubersdorf southeast of Regensburg.

    […]German tabloid Bild claims that according to its information, three men, aged 26, 39, and 60, were injured, two of them seriously.

    […]Bild had also claimed that according to its information, the suspect was a 27-year-old man of “Arab origin” who has psychological problems who also allegedly called for help on the train.

    The major tabloid later updated its piece to specify it understands the suspect is a Syrian named Abdalrahman A. He allegedly came to Germany in 2014 and had been granted refugee status.

  4. FBI raids Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe’s home

    The Federal Bureau of Investigation searched through the home of Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe two days after they searched the homes of his associates in the Southern District of New York’s inquiry into the theft of Ashley Biden’s diary.

    […]“I ran to the door and looked out the peep hole and clearly saw an F.B.I. raid,” said one of O’Keefe’s neighbors to the Times. “You saw the jackets. Literally, it was just out of a movie.”

  5. DAILY MAIL – Camilla ‘hasn’t stopped talking about’ hearing the President ‘break wind’ during chat at Cop26 climate summit in Glasgow

    President Joe Biden met Duchess of Cornwall during reception on Monday
    They made polite small talk and Camilla was shocked to hear Biden break wind
    Reception was hours after Biden appeared to doze off at COP26 opening

    He is supposed to be committed to reducing emissions – but when President Joe Biden produced a little natural gas of his own at the COP26 summit, it was audible enough to make the Duchess of Cornwall blush.

    An informed source has told The Mail on Sunday that Camilla was taken aback to hear Biden break wind as they made polite small talk at the global climate change gathering in Glasgow last week.

    ‘It was long and loud and impossible to ignore,’ the source said. ‘Camilla hasn’t stopped talking about it.’

    […]This summer, Johnson praised Biden as being ‘a big breath of fresh air’ on climate change compared to his predecessor.

    Appropriately, Biden has urged world leaders to cut methane gas emissions by 30 per cent by the end of the decade. Cows and other livestock contribute substantially to global methane levels.

    The White House declined to comment last night.

    […]The statement released by state-run media said the failed assassination attempt was with “an explosives-laden drone that tried to target his residence in the Green Zone.”

    “The security forces are taking the necessary measures in connection with this failed attempt,” it said.

    It was not clear who was behind the attack, nor did anyone immediately claim responsibility.

    It comes amid a stand-off between security forces and pro-Iran Shiite militias whose supporters have been camped outside the Green Zone for nearly a month after they rejected the results of Iraq’s parliamentary elections in which they were the biggest losers.
