Reader’s Links for August 26th, 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. North Carolina Supreme Court attacks democracy, in challenge to state constitutional provisions
    By Hans Bader August 20, 2022

    The North Carolina’s Democrat-controlled Supreme Court just did something radical and unprecedented. Voting along party lines, it usurped the power to overturn provisions of its own state constitution, based on the composition of the state legislature. It ruled that progressive plaintiffs could challenge two constitutional provisions adopted by voters — one limiting income taxes, and the other requiring voter ID — just because the state legislature that allowed them to be put up for a vote was elected in districts some of which were gerrymandered.

  2. (J.E. on why the Trump hording documents is BS)

    QPinglet on new theme that Trump was “hoarding documents” about Russiagate
    Some things that ARE so, to balance out the spin.

    It’s not that we didn’t already know that this, in essence, is what the raid on Mar-a-Lago was about. It was virtually certain from the beginning that the Justice Department’s purpose has been to verify what Trump is holding that could expose more about the Obama administration’s conduct as part of Russiagate and Spygate. (For earlier posts on this topic, see here, here, here, and here. Most recent post first.)

    So Newsweek might be said to be catching the mainstream media

    Alec Baldwin is only concerned about Alec Baldwin after he shot and killed 42-year-old Halyna Hutchins and injured 48-year-old Joel Souza on the movie set in Santa Fe, Mexico last October.

    Baldwin told CNN that the shooting has cost him five jobs and the stress from Trump’s comments on the tragedy “has taken years off” his life.

  4. Op-Ed: Are Federal Agencies Becoming Weapons of Tyranny?

    A week ago, Americans of all political persuasions were shocked — and many appalled and outraged — when armed FBI agents stormed Mar-a-Lago, former President Donald Trump’s world-famous resort and private home.

    For over nine hours, federal officers tore through the 128-room building and even the former first lady’s closets, prohibiting any witnesses and even demanding that security cameras be turned off.

    In the aftermath of the highly questionable raid, conservatives and Trump supporters expressed their fury. The general consensus was clear: If the FBI can attack a former president who is both highly popular and expected to run again, then it could be coming after you — the voters who support him — next.

    Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) acknowledged Thursday that the GOP may not retake the Senate during the November 2022 midterm elections.

    “I think there’s probably a greater likelihood the House flips than the Senate,” McConnell told reporters in Kentucky. “Senate races are just different, they’re statewide, candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome.”

    It’s really that bad. The Covid vaccine is clearly the worst medical experiment and healthcare disaster in history. The results are all around us. Just tune into the news. Or sports. Or TMZ. Celebrities, athletes, even doctors are dropping dead left and right. In numbers never seen in history.

    If you don’t believe me, why not ask the life insurance executives. They’re reporting deaths up anywhere from 20% to 40% since the vaccine. These are non-Covid deaths. This is a number never seen in history. Even during World War II, deaths were not up by 20% to 40% across the USA. Not even close.

    Recently, I reported on my personal experience. So many of my friends and even wedding guests (from just this past November) are dead, dying, or very sick. It’s a cluster of cancer, heart attacks, strokes and serious illness- but only among the vaccinated. No one I know who is unvaccinated is sick. Not one.

    Americans are struggling to put food on the table because of Joe Biden’s tax-and-spend policies.

    Joe Biden on Saturday insisted that his $700 billion spending bill during a recession will grow the middle class.

  15. Judge Blocks Marine Corps From Discharging Unvaccinated Marines
    by David Kelly August 21, 2022

    U.S. District Court Judge Steven Merryday has halted the discharge of hundreds of Marines who were denied religious exemptions from the military’s requirement that they receive the experimental Covid-19 “vaccine” shots, which have not prevented infection and the spread of the virus as the government pledged.

    In a lawsuit filed against the Secretary of Defense over the department’s Covid-19 vaccine mandate, the 48-page ruling issued on Thursday grants class action status for all active and reserve U.S. Marine Corps servicemen and women. Merryday, a George. H.W. Bush appointee, ruled Thursday that the Corps has failed to adhere to the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

    The Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA) requires the federal government to prove that a compelling governmental interest requires a certain action and that no less-restrictive alternatives exist.

    Judge Merryday also issued a classwide preliminary injunction against the Department of Defense and the U.S. Marine Corps prohibiting them “from

  16. QNorth Korea’s Support for Russian-Occupied Ukraine Would Violate UN Sanctions
    Bruce Klingner / @BruceKlingner / August 10, 20

    North Korea reportedly is discussing sending workers and soldiers to Russian-controlled regions of Ukraine in exchange for shipments of industrial equipment and energy supplies.

    Any of those actions would violate several U.N. resolutions imposed on North Korea in response to Pyongyang’s nuclear and missile activities.

    In July, North Korea supported the Russian invasion of Ukraine by diplomatically recognizing the “independence” of the Russian-backed separatist regions of Donetsk and Luhansk in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine.

    Russian Ambassador to North Korea Alexander Matsegora told the Russian newspaper Izvestia that North Korea could send workers to help rebuild Donbas. Matsegora commented that the workers would restore infrastructure and industrial facilities.
