Reader’s Links for July 25th, 2022

Posted on by

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. Rafi Farber explains the real-world meaning of the historical gold-silver ratio:

  3. Last week I received a cheque in the mail from the federal government. It calls it an “incentive”. I call it a bribe. It is somehow meant to offset the cost of climate change. It is the most absurd, ridiculous waste of taxpayer money I have ever seen, but the money is real as far as diminishing fiat is real nowadays. My eldest son got one too. It is an installment of about $180 on a larger total bribe. I will return both cheques in protest to a government that has no concept of money, value, accountability, or honesty.

  6. People seem to forget:
    Americans are armed.
    Americans will never comply to anyone or anything contrary to our Constitution. The Constitution is the employee handbook of those who took the oath to defend it. We the People are the Employers. We don’t work for the government, THEY work for us. Any laws passed that are contrary/repugnant to the Constitution are Null and Void. The corporation of America is dissolved. Biden is the “President” of a defunct corporation with 10 square miles of foreign soil.
    The illegitimate administration of the USA are spinning their square wheels regarding manmade disease pandemics, laughable mandates and lockdowns and ridiculously anti Constitutional laws.
    We know everything. We know that the FDA, NIH, WHO and CDC create diseases/patent their shots all for the greed of money/power. They have ZERO credibility or authority.
    Underestimate Americans- that’ll be fun

  9. UPDATE: Serious Questions Remain After Michigan News Channel and AP Publish Election Results One Week Before Actual Election

    Last night something miraculous happened: Tudor Dixon won the GOP primary for governor in Michigan! She received 47% of the vote compared to Ryan Kelley (23%) and Kevin Rinke (13%). Dixon is endorsed by the DeVos family, one of the most influential families in the State of Michigan. She is also endorsed by the “RINO” Sen. Majority Leader, Mike Shirkey.

    Thank you for your concern. Our apologies. We have been testing our systems with the Associated Press. The numbers you are seeing are not actual results. (Thanks…now notate that ON the page!) We have cleared the numbers. The actual primary results will populate after the polls close on Tuesday, Aug. 2”

    Ironically, we saw the same thing in Georgia in their primary race. VoterGA pointed out on May 16, 2022, 8 days before the election, and once again orchestrated by the Associated Press. WSB News Director Suzanne Nadell explained that they did not expect the results to published live.

    Why is it that the two controversial swing states with still scrutinized results, procedures and records retention are the ones that made the mistake of publishing results without disclaimers letting electors know these are not symbolic of any particular voting?

    Why are the results released in Michigan predominantly GOP races with only a handful of lower ticket democrat races published?

    How is this data determined and why is it made public or “live”?

    Former NSA contractor Reality Leigh Winner was arrested in June of 2017 after she removed classified material from a government facility and mailed it to a news outlet.
    On Thursday, Reality Winner was sentenced to 63 months in prison, the longest sentence ever for a person who had disclosed classified material to a news outlet.

    Federal prosecutors testified based on evidence seized from her house, Reality Winner made plans to burn the White House down and pledged her allegiance to the Taliban.

    Reality Winner, 26, leaked classified documents to the media, had plans to burn down the White House and pledged her allegiance to a terrorist organization yet she is considered a hero by the left.

    Reality was released from prison in June.

    Former Oath Keeper Jason Van Tatenhove testified at Liz Cheney’s January 6th show trial last week in front of a national audience.

    Tatenhove’s testimony was littered with half-truths and outright lies. Liz Cheney and the committee knew this but let him “testify” anyway. There was no cross examination. There never is. The January 6th committee is an insult to Western law and tradition. It is like something you would see at a Joseph Stalin show trial.

    Tatenhove accused the Oath Keepers of plotting an armed revolution on the US Capitol on January 6.

  14. (Richard: This article does a good job of explaining the reasons for the problems in military recruiting. The libs have alienated about half of the population. This is the half where most of the recruits come from.

    As if this wasn’t enough the retired swamp dwelling Flag officers are busy violating their oaths and proving they are no longer under civilian control. Civilian control of the military has always been one of the corner stones of the US government. Without civilian control of the military we are at risk of the military deciding to take control of the government. I don’t know which side the Colonels and below support but the evidence says the Flag officers are far left with the typical leftist attitude that the laws don’t apply to them.

    The weakening/destruction of the US military has given a green light to the predator nations and has shown the people what a world without the US is like.

    There are still a lot of Patriots who are resisting the lefts attempted destruction of civilization and freedom. In the end the Patriots will win but the war is going to be long and bloody. It won’t be a conventional war but instead low intensity war of shadows.

    How To Erode the World’s Greatest Military
    Alienating half the country is not a wise strategy of military recruitment.
    By Victor Davis Hanson

    July 24, 2022
    The U.S. Army has met only 40 percent of its 2022 recruiting goals.

    In fact, all branches of the military are facing historic resistance to their current recruiting efforts. If some solution is not found quickly, the armed forces will radically shrink or be forced to lower standards—or both.

    Such a crisis occurs importunely as an aggressive

    a crisis occurs importunely as an aggressive Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea believe the Biden Administration and the Pentagon have lost traditional U.S. deterrence.

    That pessimistic view abroad unfortunately is now shared by many Americans at home. In 2021, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute conducted its periodic poll of attitudes toward the U.S. military. The result was astonishing. Currently, only 45 percent of Americans polled expressed a great deal of trust in their armed forces. Confidence had dived 25 points since an early 2018 poll.

    Military officials cite both the usual and a new array of challenges in finding suitable young soldiers—drug use, gang affiliation, physical and mental incapacities, and the dislocations arising from the COVID pandemic and vaccination mandates. But they are too quiet about why such supposedly longer-term obstacles suddenly coalesced in 2022—as if their own leadership and policies have had no effect in

    • The Constitution has been shredded.
      Civilian control of the military, when together they bait the Bear and the Dragon? The hubris of puppets is absurd!

      However valiant the young recruits – the patriotic half – they’ll be throwing their lives away. As for those who whine in safe spaces, equating words with violence, they’re already on the road to serfdom.

      What we’re watching right now in Ukraine –
      Thinking Desert Storm or game-changing tech JUNK?
      How about 1000-2000 KIA _every day_?

      Our civilian population, our pristine homeland. Versus a people who’ve known war for a thousand years, whose Mother Land is soaked in blood, Mongols to Nazis.

      There’s no way our country can prevail in an industrial strength war any time soon. We better do jaw-jaw more energetically than at any time in our history.

      What If It Doesn’t End Quickly?

      Reconsidering US Preparedness For Protracted Conventional War
      https://mwi.usma.edu/what-if-it-doesnt-end-quickly-reconsidering-us-preparedness-for-protracted-conventional-war/

      • You are right, we couldn’t win. In other posts I have said the best we could do is ensure that Russia didn’t win.

        Since a war between Russia and the US would cause the global economy to collapse it is unlikely that any nation would be strong enough to survive the economic collapse intact.

        Unless Biden/Obama manages to start the war before the midterms it is unlikely we will fight Russia. A civil war that includes the embedded Islamic and Chinese forces attempting to determine who wins the war .

        Yes the Constitution has been shredded and will have to be rewritten. The new Constitution will have to include various protections that will require the left develope new methods before they once again try to take over the US.

        Fighting an industrial war that has a large number of meeting engagements (what Putin is fighting) would be playing to the Russian strong points. We would have to fight a war of maneuver with few meeting engagements would play to our strong points. Ukraine is letting Russia dictate the war, they are reacting to the Russian actions instead of making the Russians react to the Ukrainian actions.

        Fight your fight/war not your enemies fight/war. Make him/them react to what you are doing, instead of you reacting to his/their actions. The person/nation doing the reacting is the person/nation that is losing.

        You aren’t looking at things properly, instead of looking at the time and wars the US has fought look at the locations our ancestors came from and the wars they have fought. That is part of our genetic heritage. We draw not only on the recent history but also on the European history of our ancestors.

        • You haven’t been watching the war videos.

          It’s the Russians who are doing the maneuvering: the Ukes have prepared positions and are very skilled fighters. They’ve chosen the place. It’s one skirmish after another, a few kilometers, back and forth. Along a huge line of contact, day after day, relentless.

          The Ukrainians have been preparing with Nato since 2014, their system completely overhauled. Their offensive in the Donbass is extremely tough. The defensive positions are extraordinary, having reinforced strategic points to make them too costly to displace. They have to be encircled and fixed, but that takes more fighters than Russia will commit.

          Russia has had to adapt. BIG changes from early days.

          The Ukes are at a numerical advantage, but lives are thrown away. Zelensky, in his olive green Nato gear, surrounded by PR experts, overrules his generals. It’s fight to the death, to the last man everywhere. In Mariupol it was hold Azovstal till after the Eurovision awards!

          The very best trained soldiers have been wasted to feed the perception of foreign sponsors. Conscripts feel abandoned, generals have been prosecuted for treason.

          No matter what, industrial capacity is crucial. Artillery, ammo, vehicles – volume is decisive. As is population. Ukrainian women with children over three are subject to conscription, some are already at the front. They die fast. Morale is abysmal.
          .
          There’s no dainty or clever way to fight Russia. We’d need to have strong, fully *domestic* industrial production capabilities. No doubt we’ll see tactical nukes deployed.

          And it will not remain over there this time.

          I don’t have as much confidence in our DNA as you do. Maybe because I live in a big city full of universities. I compare it to Israel, the attitude of civilians.

          The only thing I know is that we need time. We most certainly can prevail if we get into gear NOW.

          • “…there’s no clever or dainty way to fight Russians…”.

            They’re clever but definitely not dainty, that’s for sure.

  15. Pentagon Memo: Trump Gave Order to ‘Make Sure’ January 6th was ‘Safe Event’
    By Eric Lendrum
    Democrats’ latest “primetime” January 6th hearing once again failed to provide any evidence that President Donald Trump tried to incite a riot. In fact, one piece of evidence that was glossed over appears to further confirm the opposite, that President Trump wanted to maintain peace and safety on January 6th, 2021.

    Just The News reports that the bulk of the January 6th hearing focused primarily on more hearsay evidence from the likes of Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, whose story about Trump allegedly trying to hijack the presidential limousine has already been debunked. There was also once again a lack of proper cross-examination from Republicans or lawyers for President Trump, thus making the hearing less of an actual legal process and more of a scripted political event.

    Evidence has already overwhelmingly suggested that the 45th president wanted the protest on January 6th to be peaceful, such as when he explicitly said in his speech that day that his supporters would be “marching over to the Capitol, to peacefully

    Thousands of workers across the United States faced job losses as the Biden administration, states, cities and private companies tyrannically forced them to comply with vaccine mandates.

    Students complied with the mandates to attend school.

    Hospitals even refused to treat sick patients if did not show proof of vaccination.

    Months later, it became apparent the experimental injections do nothing to prevent the transmission of the coronavirus.

    One lawmaker after another, who touted COVID vaccine efficacy, has tested positive for COVID after getting fully vaccinated and boosted.
