Reader’s Links for October 23rd, 2023

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.

For those interested, please check out https://vladtepesblog.substack.com/ as an another avenue of expression.

    • The U.S. basically does whatever it needs to do to *look* like they’re on Israel’s side, but really, they seem to just as much be playing the other team.

      Just like they’re doing back home, for example by encouraging a slow-fire invasion through the southern border.

      • Daniel Greenfield is my favorite author.
        He is a proud American writing eloquently about the realities versus what is presented, I’m going to check to see if he has a podcast.

    • Prof. Kedar is a favorite of mine.
      He appears frequently on Arab TV sites where he drives his interlocutors crazy. He knows Them and their Book better than senior professors at Al-Azhar. They scream, the audience laughs and groans.

      • Watching him encounter the journalists, politico’s and talking heads is pure political gold.
        He’s been an official advisor in some position in the past, he’d be a terrific official Israeli mouthpiece for the Arab world.
        Interesting analysis for sure

        • He’s at the point where he’s heard more broadly as an outside voice. He’s apparently been a great professor, trained a generation, including Arab Israelis. Knows more about Beduins than any current member of Knesset.

    • Authorities have summoned for talks the other authorities who didn’t act with authority against the isis brides now teaching swedish children their truth about Christianity, oh Sweden oh world

      Hey Sven

  1. The debt/doom loop is baked in. The math assures it. The U.S. has added 650 billion dollars on debt in the last month alone. Zoltan Poszar has come out with a new article calling the situation a “checkmate”. Yield curve control is another way of saying the U.S. Fed will have to buy its own T-bills because the world no longer wants it. At least this is what I understand.

    Here is an informative video on the current situation:

  4. MANILA, Philippines (AP) — The United States renewed a warning Monday that it would defend the Philippines in case of an armed attack under a 1951 treaty, after Chinese ships blocked and collided with two Filipino vessels off a contested shoal in the South China Sea.

    Philippine diplomats summoned a Chinese Embassy official in Manila on Monday for a strongly worded protest following Sunday’s collisions off Second Thomas Shoal. No injuries were reported but the encounters damaged a Philippine coast guard ship and a wooden-hulled supply boat operated by navy personnel, officials said.

    President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. called an emergency meeting with the defense secretary and other top military and security officials to discuss the latest hostilities in the disputed waters. The Philippines and other neighbors of China have resisted Beijing’s sweeping territorial claims over virtually the entire South China Sea, and some, like Manila, have sought U.S. military support as incidents multiply.

  5. Make It Stop” – Israel Shares 43 Minutes of Gruesome Hamas Attacks to Horrified Journalists in Private Screening Not Yet Released to Public – Includes Young Children Burned and Pregnant Women Cut Open
    By Cullen Linebarger Oct. 23, 2023 12:20 pm249 Comments

    Israel on Monday screened for some 200 foreign journalists 43 minutes of shocking crimes committed by Hamas savages during their October 7 onslaught on southern Israel, in which over 1,400 people were killed. Some of the presentation includes never-before-seen footage.

    They decided to release this screening to counteract a “Holocaust-denial” phenomenon which is starting to permeate across the globe.

  6. Gavin Newsom’s California: Residents of Luxury Apartment Complex in Long Beach Under Siege from Arson Attacks, Beatings, Break-Ins by Teens, Homeless and Young Children (Video)
    By Kristinn Taylor Oct. 23, 2023 11:40 am277 Comments

    Residents of a luxury apartment complex in Long Beach, California have been under siege the past month by marauding teens, homeless and even young children who have harassed and beaten residents, invaded hallways of the buildings and set arson fires to several cars, according to local reports.

    The siege at the well-appointed apartment complex (rents start at $2,259) is one more example of the deliberate destruction of American society by progressive Democrat politicians from Joe Biden to California Governor Gavin Newsom.

  7. Biden Border Crisis: Customs And Border Protection Issue Warning For Hamas, Hezbollah Jihad Forces Trying to Enter Southern Border
    By David Greyson Oct. 23, 2023 2:00 pm82 Comments

    The southern border is already a mess even without the chaos of Hamas terrorists. Go figure, now the U.S. has to be extra vigilant for these terrorist organizations who want to enter through the porous border to do Americans harm.

    The CBP San Diego field office sent out a bulletin to its officers warning of Jihadists trying to get into the U.S. through the southern border. The terrorist attacks against Israel have potentially inspired Hamas, Hezbollah, and other Jihadists to make their way into our nation.

    As bad as that is, why wouldn’t they try? The Biden regime has left the front door open for them to just walk in. These leftists that run the country hate you, me, and America and want us miserable.

    As much as the Border Patrol wants to protect our nation, with many good officers, often their hands are tied thanks to the Biden regime.

    During a pro-Israel event in Skokie, Illinois, about 200 pro-Palestinian protesters showed up to demonstrate, Lincolnwood police said. Outside the event across the street, a man was confronted by a number of people in a town center mall when he pulled out a firearm and shot it into the air Sunday afternoon, Lincolnwood police said in a press release.
    The man was quickly arrested and no one was injured.
    At the same protest, a person was hit by a vehicle in a hit-and-run in a separate incident, though the victim only required treatment at the scene, according to Lincolnwood police.

    A day earlier, on the west coast, a man was arrested after police said he fired a splatter ball gun at protesters during a pro-Palestinian rally, KEZI reported.

    During the march in Eugene, Jonathan Wisbey stopped a pickup truck, blocking the crowd before an argument began, police reportedly said.
    As police approached the situation, a protester slashed one of Wisbey’s tires. He then got out of his car and allegedly shot a splatter ball gun – which fires water gel beads – into the crowd, police said, according to the news outlet.
    A couple protesters pulled handguns in response, but officers confronted those who were armed and took them into custody without further incident, police reportedly said.
    Wisbey is facing charges of menacing, second-degree disorderly conduct and first-degree bias.

    At least 19 people arrested during massive NYC anti-Israel protest, clashes with NYPD

    Police on Sunday said 19 people were busted during the massive anti-Israel rally in Brooklyn where thousands of rowdy demonstrators clashed with cops.
    According to the NYPD, 16 protesters were arrested and issued criminal court summonses, while three others were taken into custody and released on desk appearance tickets.
    The “Flood Brooklyn for Palestine” protest on Saturday shut down traffic in Bay Ridge for hours as the NYPD struggled to contain the mob, which lobbed eggs at cops and lit fires in the street while waving Palestinian flags.
    One young protester was seen trying to keep cops from pulling away a woman holding a “Zionism is Genocide” sign.
    A law enforcement source described it as “pretty heated.”
    [..]
    “Some demonstrators within the crowd chose to act in a combative and aggressive manner. Officers were pushed, shoved, and struck by some demonstrators within the crowd after the LRAD [long-range acoustic device] device was utilized.
    “Officers were struck with flying debris which included eggs, fireworks, and bottles. Officers responded to this disruptive behavior and attempted to regain order by taking into custody those responsible for these actions,” the statement said. “The NYPD encourages peaceful protests but will not condone our officers being subjected to any form of violence.”
    The three demonstrators taken into custody on misdemeanor charges were Marwan Hamed, Gabriella Flanagan and Umahani Hamad, police said.
    Hamed, 29, of Staten Island, was charged with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and failure to use a sidewalk, cops said.
    Flanagan, 23, of Brooklyn, was charged with resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration, disorderly conduct and failure to use a sidewalk, the NYPD said.
    Hamad, 18, of Brooklyn, was charged with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct, police said.

    “This was not a rally for a two-state solution or for the liberation of Gaza from Hamas or [a] public all to free hundreds of kidnapped Israelis and Americans,” Kagan wrote on X.
    “It was a shameful pro-Hamas & anti-Israel rally that I strongly condemn.”
    The raucous rally came one day after nearly 200 pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested for blocking traffic in Manhattan at a demonstration sponsored by the Democratic Socialists of America.
    One demonstrator at a rally in Midtown Manhattan earlier this month flashed a swastika.

    • Thank you for recommending his telegram channel earlier, that’s an interesting development to say the least.
      Trying to figure out telegram is a bit mystifying, I’ve searched for Israeli sources where I have the Hebrew and English names and nothing comes up, are there any tips for using telegram? Mostly loving it but not finding recommended channels is weird

      Edit; I searched terrorist, found the Hebrew words and it translates as terrorists from another angle, if you see Hebrew with red X’s slightly rotated that’s the one, any further telegram channel recommendations welcomed!

      Is terrorist from another angle the proper translation?
