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.
Col. Lang passed away a couple weeks ago, but his readers continue their reasonable conversation. Professional level commentary, pro-Western but nuanced. Neither NATO propagandists, nor Putin fanboys driven by blind hatred of the West. The meat is in the comments: https://turcopolier.com .
Try this one, for example:

You won’t like it if you’ve inhaled too much of the Duran, Gonzalo Lira, or Judge Nap’s stable of commentators. But it’s an antidote to their over-simplified (but entertaining) version of the news. They know their fan base, what covers their overhead.
Dima is accused of both pro-Russian AND pro-Ukrainian bias, depending on the daily battlefield vicissitudes he reports. He's actually BOTH. (And very careful.)Russians who actually know the players and the rules of the game read between the lines. Even within the constraints of censorship they paint a far more complex picture. Criticism of Russian maneuvers and related industrial production problems is amazingly open. As long as they stick to strategy and tactics, and avoid politics.
About those drones that fell around Moscow. Carrying considerable C-4 explosives…

Red Square will be closed to the public from April 27 to May 10 due to the preparation and holding of the parade.
If I’m right, this has never happened in the history of Moscow – not even in 1941.
Is the Kremlin authorities afraid of something?
But there is one more thing, drones fall from the sky. The physical closure of the square does not protect from that.

This is insanity. If we don’t rein in Poland, the rabid Baltic chihuahuas, and the delusional warmongers, we’ll be at war. Big time.
