Reader’s Links for July 31, 2022

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. There is a furore online about “Russian” soldiers castrating and torturing Ukrainian POWs and a “graphic” video showing it.
    Nowhere was it mentioned that this was almost certainly Chechen muslims in action as per usual doing what muslims always do to prisoners.Do not let his looks fool you.
    It is not only confined to Ukrainians but apparently, they shoot severely wounded Russian soldiers also which again, shows that islam dominates everything.
    The fact that Chechens are also fighting for the Ukraine is aliso typical as they get to kill infidels and who cares on which side they are. Muslims fight only for islam and nothing else.

  2. Check out these clips from a 2016 episode of x-files. Is this what we are seeing today as the result of the experimental gene therapy shots?

    4min.
    https://youtu.be/CkmRyIz87ew

    Here is a write up about that episode back in 2016.

    https://www.geekwire.com/2016/x-files-finale-shines-alien-spotlight-on-crispr-cas9-gene-editing-technology/

    This week’s season finale of “The X-Files” is one of the first prime-time TV shows to reference the revolutionary gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9, but it won’t be the last.

    We won’t delve into the details of how CRISPR figures in the alien conspiracy. Let’s just say that the ability to snip out and insert genetic coding with molecular-scale precision is as good a match for the “X-Files” mythology as Scully is for Mulder.

    The technology takes advantage of a cellular defense system that was first studied in bacteria. Researchers were intrigued to find that the genomes of many types of microbes contained snippets of DNA that matched coding for the viruses that attacked those microbes.

    They eventually learned that those snippets, separated by standard spacers, were used as templates for hunting down the viruses. These “wanted posters” of viral snippets are called clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, which is where “CRISPR” comes from.

    The other part of the defense system is a set of enzymes called CRISPR-associated proteins, or Cas proteins. One enzyme in particular, Cas9, is great for making a precise cut in a DNA molecule. When a CRISPR-Cas9 complex encounters a virus that matches one of its wanted posters, the bad guy’s DNA is snipped away. …….

    “You can use it to not only delete a gene, you can use it to add a gene,” said Anne Simon, a biologist at the University of Maryland at College Park who serves as a scientific adviser to “X-Files” creator Chris Carter.

    It also sparked the plot for this week’s “X-Files” episode. Simon highlighted one gene in particular as the target for conspiratorial skulduggery: the ADA gene, which plays a key role in producing adenosine deaminase for our immune system. If your ADA gene were to get snipped, that would leave you vulnerable to a host of infectious diseases.

    “Effectively, we’re giving people ‘boy-in-the-bubble’ syndrome,” Simon said.

    • Maybe the rulers put their plans into movies ahead of time so when they do execute their plan and people call it out for what it is, the media can use these old movies or shows to tell the population that these “conspiracy theorists” get their ideas from movies and such. And the media can show clips of said movies. Then the population will not entertain any facts on the said subject cause they relate the idea to movies. I don’t know, just a thought. I have heard of CRISPER 3 or 4 years ago. Scary.

  3. Investigative journalist Lara Logan spoke Saturday in Arizona on a voter integrity panel.

    During her speech, Logan told the audience the Biden regime is handing out social security numbers to illegal aliens at the southern border.

    Over 3 million illegals will have crossed into the United States via the open southern border in Joe Biden’s first two years in office.

    This needs to be Joe Biden’s first impeachment trial — the purposeful destruction of the United States of America.

  10. LEBANON – Part of Beirut silo complex collapses as port blast anniversary nears

    Part of the Beirut port grain silos collapsed on Sunday afternoon, sending a large cloud of dust and smoke into the sky, a Reuters witness said, nearly two years after a massive blast killed more than 215 people and severely damaged the port.

    A fire has burned at the northern part of the silos for about three weeks, giving off an orange glow visible at night from nearby neighbourhoods, and Lebanese officials warned last week that part of the silos could collapse.

    There were no immediate reports of deaths or injuries.

    The collapse comes four days before the two-year anniversary of the explosion on Aug. 4, 2020.

    The blast, fuelled by a large chemical store that had been kept at the port for nearly seven years, wounded thousands and gutted the eastern part of the city, leaving tens of thousands of people in the area homeless.

    Residents have said the weeks-long fire at the port had re-ignited trauma of the explosion, for which no one has yet been held accountable.

    Officials have said the fire burning at the silos was difficult to extinguish and had occurred naturally as a result of left-over wheat fermenting and igniting.

    Everyone remembers the shocking images from August 5th 2020 as a massive blast, caused by an estimated 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate stored in a warehouse at the port unsecured for years, killed over 200 individuals and injured more than 6000.

    During a special weekend session Saturday, the Indiana state Senate passed a bill with a near-total ban on abortion.

    The lawmakers voted 26-20 to pass the bill, known as SB-1, with no Democrat voting in favor, according to The Associated Press. With 10 Republicans joining Democrats in voting against, the bill passed the minimum threshold for sending it to the House, the AP reported.

    The vote makes Indiana set to become one of the first states to impose fresh restrictions on abortion after the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade in late June, the AP reported.

    According to him, detachments of Albanian police have already gone to Yarinya and Brnak.

    “I think that we have never been in a more difficult and tough situation than today. Why did I say this? The Pristina regime is trying to use the mood in the world by presenting itself as a victim,” he said.

    Earlier it was reported that shots and air raids were heard on the border of Kosovo and Serbia.

    Kosovo Albanians gather in groups in the southern part of the city of Kosovska Mitrovica near the bridge leading to the northern, “Serbian” side, where local Serbs gather.

    Kosovo plans to attack Serbs in northern country – Vucic

    The army of Kosovo is allegedly going to attack the Serbs in the north of the country at midnight on July 31.

    This was stated by Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, writes SD.

    “I think that we have never been in a more difficult and difficult situation than today. Why did I say this? The Pristina regime is trying to use the mood in the world by presenting itself as a victim. They think they can play the card “big Putin ordered little Putin” , he said.

    According to Vucic, Kosovo will at the same time block the entry of citizens with Serbian documents and require the re-registration of the car to Kosovo numbers, according to the decree, which will come into force on August 1.

    Later, information was leaked to the media that the Serbian army had already entered Kosovo. However, the ministry declaredthat “hasn’t done it yet”.

    “The Ministry of Defense reports that the Serbian army has not yet crossed the administrative line and in no way invaded the territory of Kosovo and Metohija,” they stressed.

    It should be noted that according to unconfirmed information, Serbia is pulling an army, including aviation, to the border with Kosovo.

    Recall that earlier the top functionary of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party, Vladimir Djukanovic, announced the need to “denazify” the Balkan countries. A few hours after his statement, the media reported that armed clashes had begun on the border between Kosovo and Serbia.

    Alinejad is a well-known Iranian writer and dissident who last year was the alleged target of a kidnapping plot by Iranian agents, the FBI said. Iran has denied wrongdoing, calling the past kidnapping allegations “baseless.”

    The FBI and NYPD are now looking into why Mehdiyev, 23, was seen near her home last week over a period of several hours. Investigators said he had been seen walking around Alinejad’s property and looking into her windows. She was not home at the time.

    The US Supreme Court agreed in June to hear the Moore vs. Harper case related to the subject referred to as the independent state legislature theory.
    This case will have huge consequences.

    Breitbart reported:

    U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to hear a case next term to potentially bolster the elections power of state legislatures.

    The high court announced it would take up the case, known as Moore vs. Harper, brought by North Carolina’s Republican state House speaker who has challenged the state Supreme Court’s decision to dismiss the legislature’s congressional maps that would have given the party an advantage through partisan gerrymandering.

    The North Carolina Supreme Court in February ruled that the legislative maps, which gave Republicans as many as 11 safe districts compared to just three for Democrats, violated the state’s constitution in a 4-3 decision.

    In March, the U.S. high court turned back efforts by Republicans to nullify new congressional maps approved by state court for this year’s midterm elections.

    The Armed Forces of Ukraine remotely mine residential areas of Donetsk with Petal”anti-personnel mines…
    According to local residents, the day before they heard loud pops in the sky, but did not expect that the streets would be mined in the morning.

    “We have become accustomed to shelling over the years, but such mines — this is a new gift to us from the Ukrainian military. I heard explosions last night and even left the house in the evening. I was walking here in the dark, but today I look, it turns out that I was walking and did not see that everything was mined under my feet. Just lucky.

    Who is all this for? On our children? There are only peaceful people here. Center of Donetsk» – said one of the residents of the city.

    In addition, there are cases when people picked up mines and carried them to work to show their colleagues, believing that they were fragments from missiles. So, the journalists saved the woman by telling her about the danger of the find.

    Note that the authorities of the DPR began to send messages to residents warning about the spread of explosive devices by the Armed Forces of Ukraine not only over Donetsk, but and and over its city – satellite Makiivka.

    Earlier it was reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine used ammunition prohibited by international conventions in Donetsk, as a result of which “Petal” mines were scattered around the city.

    Also on the streets of the city sappers are working, collecting scattered ammunition.

    AFU is firing Lepestok anti-personnel mines scattered via MLRS at Donetsk, again. Authorities are warning citizens not to let their children out and to be careful while moving around the city. Even intercepted cluster munitions can still scatter some of their mine payload
    ….
    The Ukrainian military is firing PFM-1 “Lepestok” anti-personnel mines into Yasinovataya, northeast of Donetsk. Lepestok is a Soviet design, basically a reverse-engineered BLU-43 Dragontooth (used by the US in Vietnam), very nasty thing designed to maim instead of killing…

    Several streets in Donetsk have been closed off due to the mine danger, mostly in Voroshilovsky district, but also around Donbass Arena in Kievsky district & near the children’s hospital in Kalininsky district.

    This area is reported to be the most affected. Locals are marking the mines with branches or other objects they have on hand to warn other people. Several cars have already been damaged. Emergency services are working on removing the danger

    (Virtually every single Ukrainian source is currently reporting that ‘the orcs are shelling Donetsk with anti-personnel mines to blame the Ukrainian military’, as usual)
    https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1553459440073973760.html

      • A comment worth quoting in full:
        Petal mines aren’t prohibited per se.

        Petal mines are anti-personel mines that were made by the USSR. Quite possibly they are the product of reverse engineering American mines of similar function. Something for which the Americans are proud of! Although I wouldn’t know why anyone would be proud of such a thing. In turn the Americans probably made their version based on Nazi Germany mines of similar function.

        Most countries have signed a treaty that prohibits all anti-personel mines, Ukraine among them. The US, Israel, Russia, China, Pakistan and India have not, as far as memory serves me well.

        This means that it is not strictly illegal for these six countries to use them. Countries that have signed the said treaty however are violating the treaty which they have signed, with whatever consequences this may entail.

        As a result this is a weapon that Ukraine inherited from the USSR, which Ukraine should have had destroyed upon signing the said treaty. Like Belarus has done.

        All these however are inconsequential, since the Ukrainians aren’t using these mines in the battlefield, they use them in a civilian center, which is a clear violation of international law.

        In other words, it is not that the mines are prohibited, it is the specific use that is prohibited. That’s what is important here.

        • How much of this is reaching Western media?

    former camera guy for ABC, NBC and CNN was arrested last year for threatening to kill GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz and any future children that he has.

    Eugene “Gene” Huelsman, 58, was arrested in Los Angeles on an indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Pensacola, Florida.
    Huelsman threatened to “put a bullet in” Gaetz and his future children.

    “Tell [M.G.] to watch his back, tell him to watch his children,” Huelsman told Gaetz’s office on Jan. 9, 2021, according to the two-page indictment shielding the lawmaker’s name as “M.G.” that was obtained by Law & Crime. “I’m coming for him, he’s gonna fucking die… I’m gonna fucking kill him… Watch your back, I’m coming for you. I’m gonna put a bullet in you and I’m gonna put a bullet in one of your fucking kids too.”

    We The People AZ Alliance hosted an election security forum in Maricopa County on Saturday, featuring testimony from expert witnesses and state legislators.

    This informational hearing, moderated by investigative journalist Lara Logan, presented evidence of fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election and addressed the concerns in the 2022 elections

    The hearing also featured a bombshell testimony revealing exactly who in Maricopa County deleted subpoenaed 2020 Election files before delivery to Arizona Senate auditors. The County was clearly hiding something.

    As we reported earlier, Lara dropped a bomb on stage, revealing that the Biden regime is now giving social security numbers to illegals at the border.
