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.

    • redacted- Zelensky is FINISHED and Biden knows it

      President Biden is preparing for the eventuality that Ukraine’s “spring counteroffensive” is not the victory they’ve sold to the American people.

      This was the plan to re-take land that is now part of Russia, namely Crimea and the Donbass region.

      The President has been telling the American people that continued financial support in Ukraine is necessary for Ukraine to “win” but recently leaked documents show that the administration knows that this is all smoke.

      They are lying about the extent of U.S. involvement and they are selling us a failed storybook ending, [according to Politico]

    we should learn this word: just like with the Spanish Flu where the brand new drug Aspirin was prescribed in deadly doses, so with the Covid-19 treatment protocol.

    And, yes, it applies only to the ‘useful idiot’ doctors, not those who crafted the ‘treatment’ protocols themselves.

    • Federal judge grants injunction against Illinois “assault weapons” and magazine ban
      By Cam Edwards | 4:08 PM on April 28, 2023

      Gun owners and Second Amendment advocates won a huge victory on Friday with U.S. District Judge Stephen McGlynn’s order granting a preliminary injunction against the enforcement of Illinois’ ban on so-called assault weapons and large capacity magazines. McGlynn delivered a strong rebuke to the architects of the ban in his ruling, noting the Highland Park Independence Day was the impetus for the ban and wondering whether the “senseless crimes of a relative few be so despicable to justify the infringement of the constitutional rights of law-abiding individuals in hopes that such crimes will then abate or, at least, not be as horrific?”

  4. (Deroy Murdock, Headline USA) Democrats whine on and on about “The Big Lie.”

    In their minds, this phrase summarizes President Donald J. Trump’s argument that vote fraud, ballot irregularities and ninth-inning rules changes sank his 2020 re-election bid.

    However, Democrats are mum about the Big Lie that slimed Joe Biden into the White House.

    Former CIA Acting Director Michael Morrell recently sang like a sparrow to the House Intelligence and Judiciary committees. He explained how he, Biden’s presidential campaign and top U.S. spies bamboozled the American people less than three weeks before Election Day.

    Biden’s Big Lie was decisive. In its absence, polls show, he would not be president. Instead, Biden would be in Delaware, driving the 1967 Corvette that he parked in the garage of his Wilmington mansion, right beside boxes of illegally stored classified records.

    On Oct. 14, 2020, the New York Post exposed Hunter Biden’s so-called Laptop from Hell. Its emails and other contents uncovered Hunter’s international influence peddling and dodgy deals while his father was vice president.
    That Oct. 17: Biden campaign adviser Antony Blinken, now U.S. secretary of state, rang Morrell about the Post’s exclusive. Morrell swiftly orchestrated “A Public Statement on the Hunter Biden Emails.”

  5. It shouldn’t be against the law to provide an encrypted app. But if the STOP CSAM Act passes, it would make it a crime to offer encryption, because it could “facilitate” the sharing of illegal child abuse material (CSAM)—even if there’s no evidence that a platform or service intended to do so. The law would undermine digital security for all internet users, impacting private messaging and email app providers, social media platforms, cloud storage providers, and many other internet intermediaries and online services.

  6. Prominent Veterans Blast Biden for Pattern of Leaving Americans Behind in Foreign Countries
    By Mike LaChance Apr. 28, 2023 10:00 pm113 Comments

    Leaders from various veteran groups are blasting the Biden administration for their pattern of leaving Americans behind in foreign countries when things go bad.

    This is an issue on which Biden is politically vulnerable. After his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, his poll numbers never recovered.

    Americans do not take kindly to leaving people behind, veterans even more than most people.

    Veterans Blast Biden for Pattern of Leaving Americans Behind

    A trio of high-profile United States veterans called out the Biden administration Friday for a pattern of leaving Americans behind amid the ongoing crisis in Sudan, Fox News reported.

    Bryan Stern, the co-founder of Project Dynamo, told the network that his private military contractors were stepping up to the table to help evacuate an estimated 16,000 Americans still trapped in civil-war-ravaged Sudan.

  9. Senate passes measure to roll back truck emissions rule
    Rule contributes to supply chain and inflation woes, say Republicans

    The Senate narrowly passed a joint resolution that would roll back an EPA regulation setting stringent standards for smog-forming emissions from heavy-duty trucks.

    The Congressional Review Act joint resolution, which passed 50-49 Wednesday afternoon, was driven by arguments from Republicans and some Democrats that the Biden administration regulation would contribute to supply chain woes and inflation after the trucking industry warned it would significantly increase costs for big rigs.

    And it shows that fossil energy-friendly Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin III, D-W.Va., continues to be wary of President Joe Biden’s stringent climate standards. Still, the tally was well short of the two-thirds majority that would be needed to override a veto, which the White House said Biden would issue if the measure reaches his desk.

    “The irony is, the prices of newer vehicles will escalate, incentivizing truckers and businesses to hold onto their older, higher-emitting trucks,” Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., sponsor of

  10. Developing: Shooting at Home in Southeast Texas Leaves 5 Dead -Gunman on the Loose
    By Margaret Flavin Apr. 29, 2023 7:45 am39 Comments

    In a small town in Southeast Texas near Houston, five people were killed in a home late Friday night by a suspect armed with AR-15 style rifle, according to officials from San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Office.

    The suspect remains on the loose.

    Police are asking locals to stay inside and clear of the crime scene until the investigation concludes.

    According to the San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Office:

    San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Office Investigators are currently investigating a mass shooter incident in the 100 block of Walters Road in the Trails End area of Cleveland.
    Night shift patrol deputies were dispatched to a residence in reference to an harassment complaint. While enroute, the communications center received multiple 911 calls of an active shooter incident at the dispatch location. Multiple deputies arrived at the residence and located multiple victims deceased in a resident and several others in critical condition from multiple gunshot wounds.
    Allegiance Mobile Health arrived and requested an air medical helicopter to fly a pediatric patient to a local trauma center.

  11. Elon Musk and Bill Maher Discuss the ‘Woke Mind Virus’ and the Radicalization of the Left (VIDEO)
    By Mike LaChance Apr. 29, 2023 7:30 am42 Comments

    Elon Musk appeared on Bill Maher’s ‘Real Time’ show on Friday night and the two had a fascinating discussion.

    It’s sometimes easy to forget that Maher and Musk are not conservatives. Both men consider themselves to be liberals, and they are. You could make a case that they are classical liberals, but liberals just the same.

    It is only because the left has gone so far left, so fast, that Musk and Maher have been mistaken for men of the right. This is not lost on them.

      Hillsborough Survivors Support Alliance react on ‘horrendous’ Stade de France fencing

      Liverpool fans know better than most about the condition of the Stade de France, after last year’s appallingly organised Champions League final, and now the Hillsborough Survivors Support Alliance have shared a worrying change to the stadium.

      Twitter user Paul Cometto took to social media to write (translated): ‘So there are grids with spades. Are we in the Middle Ages? This is absolutely outrageous and irresponsible’ – alongside an image of newly introduced fencing to the French national stadium.

      To which the HSA responded: ‘To see fences being put up at any sports event is horrendous but even more so at a stadium where they proved they are not capable of running big sporting events. To add to this they also routinely lock doors to the concourse from the stands which was witnessed by our fans’.

      It really is upsetting and appalling to see that a stadium that should be trying everything to make amends for the mistakes of last season, are now making further steps backwards instead of forward.

      We can only applaud the efforts to spread the word about this and hope that we can see some positive changes happen soon.

  12. German police take away frantically screaming child over Muslim parents’ teachings

    A child has been forcefully taken away from his Muslim family by Germany’s “child protection services” and police forces because his parents were allegedly teaching him that homosexuality is not accepted in Islam.

    A video that has gone viral apparently shows the outraged family trying to stop the incident, as the screaming child struggles to get out of police officers’ hold.

    Others said it was very clear that the child did not want to be removed from his parent’s home, given the way he cried and struggled with the police.

    “In Germany, this kid goes to school, they bring up the topic of homosexuality and so he tells him that it is Haram according to his religion.

    So the school call the child care services and the police show up at his door and forcibly take him away from his family,” a comment on the video said.

    […]The incident happened after the child’s teachers learned that his parents were teaching him that being gay was a sin as Muslims.

    The teachers then reported it to child protection services that got in touch with the police to take him away.

    “We should note that during our conversation, Kennedy made false claims about the COVID-19 vaccines,” anchor Linsey Davis said in a disclaimer when the interview aired Thursday.

    “We’ve used our editorial judgment in not including extended portions of that exchange in our interview.”

    “Data shows that the COVID-19 vaccine has prevented millions of hospitalizations and deaths from the disease,” Davis added.

    “He also made misleading claims about the relationship between vaccination and autism.

    “Research shows that vaccines and the ingredients used in the vaccines do not cause autism, including multiple studies involving more than a million children and major medical associations like the American Academy of Pediatrics and the advocacy group Autism Speaks.”

    • sky news australia – Fears bird flu could become the next pandemic

      Avian influenza outbreaks are affecting every continent except for Australia and Antarctica – with some experts claiming it’s the worst outbreak of bird flu in history and has the potential to become the next pandemic.

      Experts are reporting the h5n1 strain is responsible for the deaths of over half a billion poultry and affecting 300 different wild species of bird.

      The recent spread of the virus to mammals has alarmed experts as it indicates mutations which haven’t been seen before – however currently there have been no documented cases of human-to-human transmission.
