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.

  2. There has to be more to this story, and it’s not about the driver, who has obviously done a stupid thing. But just because he’s done a stupid thing doesn’t justify the judge and the state doing something ten times more stupid in return. No, stupid doesn’t float any more. It makes a mockery of rights, law, and good judgement. If we see more of this kind of thing I will suspect it to be a conditioning exercise for people to accept massive penalties for minor infractions, such as speaking out of turn or out of synch with revolutionary dictates.

  3. This following interview is relatively long at 22 minutes and very raw. The girl, who lived through the terror is, while still obviously traumatised, very articulate, but what I find the most important point is at around Minute 7:15, where she confirms some of my personal suspicions:

    The new Heroes and Darlings of the born-again Jew Haters that have come out of the woodworks these last 10 days, declaiming that “yea so the HAMAS were not really angels”…BUT the “poor Palestinians” were really really really innocent victims of the big bad Jews”, were, in fact, quite the eager little helpers of HAMAS and raped, tortured and pillaged with the “best” of them.

  6. Incident involving US warship intercepting missiles near Yemen lasted 9 hours
    By Oren Liebermann, CNN

    A US warship that intercepted drones and missiles near the coast of Yemen on Thursday encountered a larger and more sustained barrage than was previously known, shooting down 4 cruise missiles and 15 drones over a period of 9 hours, according to a US official familiar with the situation.

    The USS Carney, an Arleigh-Burke class destroyer that traversed the Suez Canal heading south on Wednesday, intercepted the missiles and drones as they were heading north along the Red Sea. Their trajectory left little doubt that the projectiles were headed for Israel, the official said, a clearer assessment than the Pentagon’s initial take.

    A sustained barrage of drones and missiles targeting Israel from far outside the Gaza conflict is one of a series of worrying signs that the war risks escalating beyond the borders of the coastal enclave

  7. Judicial Watch: Obama ‘Arrived at the Emergency Response Scene’ Following Tragic Drowning of his Chef Near His Home – Secret Service Video Shows Chef Entering Water
    By Jim H?ft Oct. 21, 2023 8:00 am53 Comments

    Judicial Watch, a conservative, non-partisan educational foundation, has released new records that reveal Barack Obama’s presence at the emergency scene following the tragic drowning of his family’s personal chef, Tafari Campbell.

    The records, obtained from the Massachusetts State Police, indicate that Obama arrived at the emergency response scene via motorcade.

    Tafari Campbell, 45, met his tragic end while paddle boarding on Great Edgartown Pond, Martha’s Vineyard, on July 23 with an unnamed female staffer of the Obama family.

    According to the female witness accounts, without a life jacket and wasn’t tethered to his board, Campbell lost his balance and fell off his paddleboard into the water. He began splashing, became extremely panicked, and yelled for help before quickly disappearing into the murky water.

    According to a statement from the Massachusetts State Police reported by MassLive, the unidentified paddleboarder tried to swim to Campbell but tragically, “did not reach him in time.”

    After the failed rescue attempt, the individual managed to swim back to shore and alerted someone who then called 911.

    A female made the initial 911 call, who, as of 8:18 pm, was actively searching for Campbell on a boat.

    Oddly, the call log shows the reason for this call as BLANK – an inconsistency, considering that all other calls made that night had their reasons clearly mentioned.

    Adding to the mystery, the call’s origin was marked as Wilson’s Landing, a popular paddle board launch site roughly two miles from the Obama residence on Turkeyland Cove. This information contradicts the Massachusetts State Police records, stating that the first call originated from the Obamas’ residence.

    Source: Edgartown Police Department
    Barack and Michelle Obama were on Martha’s Vineyard at the same time their personal chef drowned under mysterious circumstances.

    Obama’s office previously claimed that the former president and his wife were not present at the residence when Tafari drowned. Now they are altering the story to say they were indeed on the property.

    According to the 40 pages of records obtained by Judicial Watch through the Massachusetts Public Records Law, Obama arrived at the emergency scene at approximately 8:40 PM. He was briefed on the situation and the ongoing search and rescue efforts.

    The female witness, who was visibly emotional and wet, also arrived at the scene. She was later interviewed the next morning in the Obama residence, with Barack Obama present.

    The Massachusetts State Police concluded that there was “no foul play” in Campbell’s “accidental” death. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner determined that the cause of death was drowning and that the manner of death was accidental.

    The female witness stated that neither she nor Campbell had consumed any alcohol or drugs prior to the incident.

    The documents also reveal the existence of a Secret Service video that shows Campbell and his paddleboarding companion entering the water. The video also captures the Secret Service’s immediate emergency response following Campbell’s drowning.

    On September 12, 2023, the Massachusetts State Police viewed Secret Service surveillance footage from the day of the incident. The footage began at approximately 6:54 PM but a summary of the observations has not been disclosed.

    As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Judicial Watch obtained 18 pages of records through the Massachusetts Public Records Law that reveal Obama’s deceased Personal Chef Tafari Campbell’s clothes were found “separate from the body.”

    For more details, you can read the full article on Judicial Watch’s website.

  8. Petty Joe Biden Mocks Jim Jordan for Failure to Win Speaker Vote During Campaign Fundraiser and Throws Israel Under the Bus Before Heading to the Beach (VIDEO)
    By Cullen Linebarger Oct. 21, 2023 8:30 am47 Comments

    Joe Biden once again proved what a sad individual he is on Friday after making fun of Jim Jordan for failing to win the Speakership and throwing Israel under the bus.

    Cristina Laila previously reported Biden had a summit meeting with European Union leaders Friday where struggled with his notes and told a whopper of a lie, claiming he once awarded Uncle Frank a Purple Heart for his actions during the Battle of the Bulge.

    Biden mocked Jim Jordan for his failure to win the Speakership. “He just got his rear end kicked,” said the petty little man.

  9. VIDEO: Vile Anti-Semite Ilhan Omar Insults FOX News Reporter for Asking Tough Questions About Her Calls for Israel to Stop Fighting Back Against Hamas – This Follows Her Meltdown at Biden Over War
    By Cullen Linebarger Oct. 21, 2023 9:00 am0 Comments

    Disgusting anti-Semite Ilhan Omar (Socialist-MN) insulted a reporter instead of answering her tough questions over her calls for Israel to stop defending itself against Hamas savages on Friday. This followed what the Daily Mail described as her meltdown at Joe Biden regarding his “support” for Israel over Hamas.

    Omar is well-known for her hatred of the Jewish people. One example is her echoing the long-standing anti-Semitic trope about Jews obtaining their influence through money.

    Fox Business reporter Hillary Vaughn caught up to Omar on Capitol Hill and peppered her with tough questions regarding why she supported a “ceasefire” with Hamas terrorists. Vaughn pointed during her questioning this would be tantamount to Israel surrendering to the Islamist terror organization that is trying to wipe them off the face of the earth.

    Rather than responding, Omar decided to trash Vaughn instead.

  11. Methinks the MAIDS program in Canada should be renamed Out With the Old In With The New (OWTOIWTN) program.

    First they came for the physicality ill. ( hmm vaccine injured may apply)

    Then the mentally ill including “mature minors” — nothing to do with world going to end, kids dying in their sleep, dropping dead — no stress there.

    Next drug addicts. Who came across the borders with all the drugs?

    Way was Conservative Ed Fast Anti-MAID Bill C- 31 defeated 150 for to 167 against..

    IS there perhaps a tich of a conflict, a change in Canadian values?
    Some of the “ Canadians” power brokers who voted against:

    Minister of Multiculturalism, dual Somalian-Canadian, Muslim, Ahmed Hussein
    Ugandan, Muslim, Canadian Attorney General, Arif Virani
    Pakistani, UK, Canadian Salma Zahedan
    Sikh – Canadian Minister of Diversity, Kamal Kiera
    Marc Miller Quebec Minister of Immigration
    Melanie Joly, Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister

    Anyone see a common thread?

  12. Massachusetts Bill Would Impose ‘Widespread Bans on Commonly Owned Firearms,’ ‘Unprecedented Gun Control’
    By Cassandra MacDonald Oct. 21, 2023 11:00 am34 Comments

    A Massachusetts gun control bill would impose “widespread bans on commonly owned firearms,” according to the National Rifle Association.
    The bill, H. 4135, passed the state’s House on October 18 with a vote of 120–38.

    According to a report from the Epoch Times, the bill “would mandate that key gun components be serialized and registered with the state, it proposes an enhanced system to curtail the flow of illegal guns into the state, and it seeks to modernize the existing firearm registration system. It would also expand the state’s ban on assault weapons by prohibiting the purchase of AR-15-style weapons and would ban the conversion of a legal firearm into an illegal automatic weapon.”

    The bill would also outlaw having a gun while intoxicated and ban firing them near homes. Additionally, it will prohibit guns from polling places, schools, and all government buildings.

    The proposed legislation will also expand “red flag” laws in the state, which allows a judge to remove someone’s right to own a firearm if they are a risk to themselves or others.

    The National Rifle Association of America-Institute for Legislative Action has strongly opposed the bill and is urging supporters to contact their state senators to express their thoughts on the bill.

    “H. 4135 re-writes gun laws in the Commonwealth and imposes unprecedented gun control. This is an ominous bill that includes the worst anti-gun legislation in the country,” the organization said in a statement obtained by the Epoch Times.

    Massachusetts Rep. Ronald Mariano said that the bill is in response to the Supreme Court expanding Second Amendment rights.

    “The comprehensive gun safety reform legislation that the House passed today will make Massachusetts residents safer, and will further strengthen the Commonwealth’s status as a national leader in the effort to combat gun violence,” Mariano wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

    “While Massachusetts annually ranks as one of the safest states in the entire country from gun violence, the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision nullified existing components of our gun laws, threatening the safety of the Commonwealth’s residents,” Mariano added.

    Mariano continued, “With the passage of this legislation, the House has once again displayed an unwavering commitment to ensuring that Massachusetts remains one of the safest states in the country.”

  15. Joe Biden Bought His Luxury $2.75 Million Rehoboth Beach Home with ALL CASH within Weeks of Hunter’s ‘Shakedown’ WhatsApp Message to Chinese Business Partner – Comer Responds
    By Cristina Laila Oct. 21, 2023 1:00 pm2 Comments

    Joe Biden purchased his luxury $2.75 million Rehoboth Beach, Delaware home with all cash after Hunter Biden threatened his Chinese business partner in a $5 million shakedown.

    In June, IRS whistleblower Gary Shapely revealed Hunter Biden demanded payment from his Chinese business associate over WhatsApp messenger.

    On July 30th, 2017, Hunter Biden demanded payment and threatened Henry Zhao, a Chinese Communist Party official and director of Harvest Fund Management.

    Harvest Fund Management had previously invested in Hunter Biden’s firm, BHR Partners – a private investment fund founded in 2013 that is co-owned by the Bank of China.

      In 1948, in Czechoslovakia, the communists took over relatively easily. They got control of the enforcement parts of the government. They built massive popular front groups at the bottom [of society]. These put pressure on the government. They slowly squeezed and squeezed and squeezed until they squeezed out the moderates and the free-market democrat people. So, Czechoslovakia became a full-fledged communist dictatorship; and the model for that is outlined in the book, which was written by the communists as a “how to” book – And Not a Shot Is Fired.

    Requirements suspended until at least 2029

    High school students in one state have been relieved, by state officials, of the responsibility to document their understanding of math in order to graduate.

    Or their understanding of reading.

    Or their understanding of writing.

    The stunning free-for-all has developed in Oregon, where the state Board of Education has decided – unanimously – that a pause on those “controversial” graduation requirements will be extended at least until 2029, according to a report from Oregon Live.
