Reader’s Links for July 22nd, 2023

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.

  3. IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE: THOUSANDS of Illegal Migrant Children Released Across the US with Tuberculosis
    By Jim Hoft Jul. 22, 2023 7:45 am123 Comments

    Back in October 2022, the Federation of American Immigration Reform, or FAIR Organization, released their fiscal year 2022 immigration numbers.

    FAIR.org estimated that 5.5 million illegal aliens had entered the United States by crossing over the open border with Mexico since Joe Biden entered office.

    That number has reached 7 million today nearly one year later.

    On his first day in office Joe Biden opened the US southern border to millions of unknown, illegal migrants from every corner of the world.

    FAIR.org reported on Joe Biden’s actions to flood America with millions of illegal aliens.

    Throughout the 2020 campaign, President Biden promised to extend amnesty to illegal aliens in the United States.
    On his first day in office, President Biden sent an immigration bill to Congress that included an amnesty program and pledged his support to give illegal aliens a path to citizenship.
    The Biden administration immediately issued an executive order directing agencies to take steps to preserve the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
    The Biden administration stopped construction of the border wall.
    The Biden administration expanded the grounds for claiming asylum by reversing legal opinions issued under the Trump Administration.
    The Biden administration ended the Asylum Cooperative Agreements (ACAs) with Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras which required migrants to apply for asylum in one of the countries through which they traveled (and be denied) as a prerequisite to eligibility for asylum in the United States.[11]
    The Biden administration issued a policy to exempt unaccompanied minors and family units from expulsion under Title 42, releasing these populations into the U.S.
    The Biden administration revived the Obama Administration’s policy of allowing immigration judges to administratively close deportation cases.
    U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued policies that make it easier to apply for benefits, including work permits, extended and expanded programs like Temporary Protected Status, eliminated the ability of officers to issue Notices to Appear (NTAs), and reduced screening and vetting in order to process more petitions and applications.
    Now that the borders are open the Biden administration is releasing THOUSANDS of illegal alien children with tuberculosis across the US.

    They knew this would happen.

    The Epoch Times reported:

    Thousands of illegal immigrant children with tuberculosis were released from U.S. government custody over the course of a year, officials have revealed in a new report.

    The illegal immigrants, all under 18 years of age, were released to family members or other responsible adults, despite having latent tuberculosis infections, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said in a recent disclosure.

    The dates of each release weren’t clear. HHS officials notified state officials from June 1, 2022, to May 31, 2023, of the tuberculosis-positive youth over a web-based system operated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Aurora Miranda-Maese, an HHS official, wrote in a court-ordered report.

    The CDC, which is part of HHS, declined to comment. HHS officials didn’t respond to requests for comment.

  4. Hunter Biden’s Lawyer Files House Ethics Complaint Against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene
    By Cassandra MacDonald Jul. 22, 2023 8:00 am724 Comments

    A lawyer representing Hunter Biden has filed a House ethics complaint against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
    Greene held up sexually explicit images of the president’s son during a House Oversight Committee hearing on Wednesday.

    The images are from Hunter Biden’s laptop, which he had left at a computer repair shop — before making its way into the hands of conservative media.

    Abbe David Lowell, Biden’s lawyer, wrote a letter to the Office of Congressional Ethics claiming that the congresswoman’s actions “blatantly violates House Ethics rules and standards of official conduct.”

    “Your colleague has lowered herself, and by extension the entire House of Representatives, to a new level of abhorrent behavior that blatantly violates House Ethics rules and standards of official conduct,” Lowell

  5. REVEALED: Biden Campaign had Plan to Send Alternate Electors if Needed in 2020 – Now They Are Suing Republicans for Doing the Same
    By Ben Wetmore Jul. 22, 2023 11:45 am0 Comments

    Trump prosecutor Jack Smith has been investigating the process of sending alternate electors for possible prosecution.

    This week, far-left Democrat Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel charged 16 of the 2020 Trump electors with eight felonies each. Many of the Michigan Trump electors are retirees in the 70s and 80s.

    The charges against the Michigan electors include:

    Forgery
    Election Law Forgery
    Utterance
    Conspiracy
    The media has engaged in systemic journalistic malpractice by endlessly referring to the alternate electors as ‘fake’ electors, in order to make them seem guilty of innocent conduct.

    Now Mike Benz, Executive Director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, laid out the evidence on Twitter that the Biden team had planned to send their own slates of alternate electors in case they lost the election.

    The Biden plans were written and overseen by John Podesta. Podesta had a plan to ensure Biden won by sending an alternate slate of elections.

  6. Jason Aldean Delivers AMAZING Speech before He Sings “Try that in a Small Town” at Concert – CROWD GOES WILD (VIDEO)
    By Jim Hoft Jul. 22, 2023 10:40 am59 Comments

    Country music star Jason Aldean delivered an AMAZING speech to his fans at his concert before he sang “Try That in a Small Town.”

    The crowd absolutely LOVED IT!

    As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier this week, “Country Music Television (CMT) has sparked a wave of controversy by pulling Jason Aldean’s ‘Try That In A Small Town’ music video, which features scenes from Antifa-BLM riots, amidst media outrage.”

    Jason Aldean has not backed down. He took to twitter following the outrage and defended himself saying:

    “In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests. These references are not only meritless, but dangerous. There is not a single lyric in the song that references race or points to it- and there isn’t a single video clip that isn’t real news footage -and while I can try and respect others to have their own interpretation of a song with music- this one goes too far. “

    Jason Aldean: It’s been a long week. And I’ve seen a lot of stuff. I’ve seen a lot of stuff suggesting I’m this, suggesting I’m that. Hey, here’s the thing. Here’s the thing. Here’s one thing I feel. I feel like everybody’s entitled to their opinion. You can think something all you want to. It doesn’t mean it’s true, right?

    What I am is a proud American. I’m proud to be from here. I love our country. I want to see it restored to what it once was before all this bullshit started happening to us.

    I love my country. I love my family, and I will do anything to protect that. I can tell you that right now. Here’s what I want to say. A lot of things out there and one thing I love you guys know how it is this day and age. Cancel culture is a thing. That’s something that if people don’t like what you say, they try and make sure that they can cancel you, which means try and ruin your life, ruin everything. One thing I saw this week was a bunch of country music fans that could see through a lot of the bullshit, all right?

    …You guys know what I’m about. You know that. You know what I stand for. I’ve never shied away from that at all.

    And I know a lot of you guys grew up like I did. You kind of have the same values, the same principles that I have, which is we want to take our kids to a movie and not worry about some asshole coming in there shooting up theater, right?

    So when somebody asked me, hey, man, anything you’re going to play this song tonight?

  7. Idaho Town Will Pay $300,000 to Christians Arrested for Maskless Outdoor Service During Pandemic
    By Cassandra MacDonald Jul. 22, 2023 10:20 am101 Comments

    The town of Moscow, Idaho, will pay a $300,000 settlement to three Christians arrested during a maskless outdoor church service during the pandemic.
    Gabriel Rench, Sean Bohnet, and Rachel Bohnet sued the city in March 2021 over their arrests at the “Psalm sing” event held outside the Moscow City Hall by Christ Church in September 2020. At the time, the city was still under a mask mandate.

    The plaintiffs alleged that officials violated their First and Fourth Amendment rights by taking them into custody.

    Fargo “Ambush”: Muslim Migrant Who Shot Cops had 1,800 rounds of Ammo, “Absolute Arsenal” was planning Jihad Massacre at Street Fair.

    The story disappeared after it was revealed the mass murderer was a Muslim.

    Mohamed Barakat was shot and killed by a Fargo police officer Friday, was armed with explosives, guns, a homemade grenade and 1,800 rounds of ammunition.

    Mohamed Barakat, a Syrian national who arrived in the US on an asylum request.

    He searched online for area public events along with the terms “fast kill” and “mass shooting events”, before ambushing police responding to a car crash, firing 40 rounds, killing one police officer, seriously wounding two other police officers and a civilian before he was shot and killed.

    Inside his car, they found an “absolute arsenal”, 1,800 rounds, multiple loaded guns, a homemade grenade, containers of gasoline, and 2 propane tanks filled with explosive materials he had built in his home. The tanks were detonated by a bomb squad and proved to be very powerful.

    Attorney General, Drew Wrigley said if 37 year old Barakat was able to carry out his “murderous barrage” planned for the city of Fargo “there would have not been enough medical personnel in a 3 state area”.

    Fargo police were investigating a routine traffic accident at 25th Street and 9th Avenue South when the suspect started firing at police. Three police officers were shot, including Jake Wallin, Andrew Dora’s and Tyler Hawks. Shots were fired at the firefighters responding to the crash and fortunately none of them were hit. A fire truck was hit by gunfire during the shootout.

    In wake of Mohamed Barakat’s murderous unprovoked attack, Officer Zachary Robinson’s use of deadly force was reasonable. It was necessary.

    “He absolutely ambushed them from inside that vehicle” Wrigley said “They had no way to know”. “He had access to many weapons in the vehicle, all were loaded. He jumped out and went around. you can also see explosives and canisters of gasoline “.

    Robinson shot Barakat after ordering him at least 16 times to put down the gun, put your hands up. He gave him multiple opportunities to put the gun down.

    Officer Jake Wallin, 23 died, Officers Andrew Dotas and Tyler Hawkes were hospitalized in serious condition. Karlee Koswick, 25, who recently moved to Fargo was hospitalized in fair condition.

    AUTHORITIES REMAIN BAFFLED AS TO MOHAMED’S MOTIVE.

  9. Putin Issues Stark Warning To Poland And NATO
    By Larry Johnson Jul. 22, 2023 8:30 am456 Comments

    Putin held a video conference on Thursday with members of Russia’s Security Council. I hope folks in the West pay attention to what he said, so I’m presenting the entirety of his remarks following a presentation by the Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service.

    Based on public source information and Russia-collected intelligence, Russia believes that Poland plans to seize Ukrainian territory west of the Dnieper River as Ukraine’s much-ballyhooed counter-offensive collapses.

    Let me give you Putin’s bottom line up front:

    Regarding the policy of the Ukrainian regime, it is none of our business. If they want to relinquish or sell off something in order to pay their bosses, as traitors usually do, that’s their business. We will not interfere.

    U.S.A. — New evidence has surfaced which indicates Englishmen in the American colonies had the right to keep and bear arms before the right was codified in England. In 1606, King James I granted perpetual rights to arms for the Virginia colonies, which covered what would become the southern colonies during the 1600s.

  11. Border Patrol Chief Relieved of Command Same Day He Testified Before Congress, Raising Retaliation Concerns

    House Republican leaders have raised the prospect that a Border Patrol chief was the target of retaliation by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) chief after the Border Patrol official sat for a transcribed interview with Congress.

    Gregory K. Bovino, the chief patrol agent of the El Centro Border Patrol sector in California’s imperial valley, offered a transcribed interview with the House Oversight Committee and House Homeland Security Committee on July 12, 2023. According to Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) and Homeland Security Committee Chair Mark Green (R-Tenn.), within hours of finishing his testimony, Mr. Bovino was informed that he had been relieved of his command at the El Centro sector and “reassigned to a vague, indefinite, and temporary headquarters assignment.”

    The timing of Mr. Bovino’s reassignment raised suspicions for Mr. Comer and Mr. Green that the CBP had reassigned the Border Patrol official in retaliation for his testimony.

    In a letter to acting CBP Commissioner Troy Miller, the two lawmakers shared allegations from a whistleblower that Mr. Bovino’s new assignment is “one of no certain mission, no articulable purpose, and without any timeline of completion.”

    “The whistleblower further alleges that this

  12. BREAKING: DC Judge Refuses to Force DOJ to Turn Over Records Showing Biden-Garland’s Obstruction of Hunter Biden Prosecution
    By Jim Hoft Jul. 22, 2023 2:20 pm118 Comments

    Back in March, The Heritage Foundation requested documents from the DOJ using the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) regarding the government’s investigation of Hunter Biden. Unsurprisingly, the DOJ refused.

    Then, on June 20th, after several years of government investigations, Hunter Biden was charged with multiple, watered-down offenses.

    The charges were so weak they created a presumption of corruption at the DOJ. This was doubly true because it was announced that Hunter would be pleading out to the joke charges on July 26, 2023, in a rapid fire, “nothing to see here” prosecution.

    Six days later, the Heritage Foundation filed a FOIA lawsuit in Washington, D.C. (good luck getting a fair shake there) and requested the court force the DOJ to disclose critical records about the Hunter Biden investigation which would demonstrate that the Biden Administration and corrupt Attorney General Merrick Garland were obstructing the prosecution. Heritage argued that the judge in Hunter’s criminal case needed to see the records so that the sham prosecution would be exposed, and Hunter would not get a lenient judgment due to third-world level rank corruption.

  13. Top Japanese Diplomat Violently Assaulted in Portland in Anti-Asian Attack
    By Cristina Laila Jul. 22, 2023 1:25 pm283 Comments

    A top Japanese diplomat was violently assaulted in Portland by a black homeless woman in an anti-Asian attack.

    Yoshioka Yuzo, the Consul General for Portland’s Consular Office of Japan, was walking near Southwest Park Avenue and Oak Street when he was violently shoved to the ground by a homeless woman.

    The assault, which took place on June 17, was revealed in newly released court documents.

    According to KGW, Yoshioka Yuzo was bleeding profusely from his head and was transported to a hospital.

    Yuzo’s attacker, identified as Arissa Robinson, has a history of assaulting Asians according to court documents.

    In August 2022 Robinson repeatedly punched a 76-year-old Asian man before putting him in a chokehold.

    KGW reported:

    The top Japanese diplomat in Oregon was the target of an unprovoked attack last month in downtown Portland, according to court records. Yoshioka Yuzo, the Consul General for Portland’s Consular Office of Japan, was walking near Southwest Park Avenue and Oak Street when he was pushed to the ground by a stranger on June 17.

    The 62-year-old diplomat suffered a cut to his head after hitting the pavement. He was transported to the hospital.

    “The poor guy just went down,” said R.D. Lipscomb, who witnessed the attack. “It looked pretty bad.”

    Lipscomb told KGW he followed the alleged attacker several blocks. Police found 23-year-old Arissa Robinson hiding inside the U.S. Bankcorp Tower, according to court records. Robinson is charged with felony bias crime and fourth-degree assault.

    Court records suggest the unprovoked attack on the Consul General is part of a “broader pattern” of Robinson targeting people of Asian descent.
