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. This guy’s head looks photoshopped onto his body. His wife should break this to him gently. Regardless, the Canadian government should not give a damn about embarrassing optics, but should care about the party in power being a Nazi proxy:

    • Well photoshopped or not, he definitely has to shop for hats somewhere other than where he gets his jackets.

      Something weird about it and more than just too narrow a depth of field on the camera, which accounts for some of the effect.

  3. More on the current chaos of things. This entertaining video highlights one of Dear Leader’s minions stupidly getting sucked into the weeds on social media. It also shows the way for farmers everywhere and what they should be doing with their animal waste. Particularly touching are the photos of Dear Needer and Macaroni nuzzling each other. I almost barfed into my purse.

  5. A very interesting discussion about 60 French fighters killed by Russia. The story is that the Russians had warned Macaroni numerous times about the use of these troops, but was ignored. Macaroni thought he was being clever by deploying “uncontracted” Foreign Legion troops while still under French pay and orders. The Russians saw through it, then finally knocked on the troop’s hotel door with high explosives. No accurate news at 11 on this, guaranteed.

  7. Eight Ways Chris Wray and Bill Barr Destroyed Free and Fair Elections in America
    by Jim Hoft Jan. 29, 2024 8:00 am449 Comments

    In 2020, then-Attorney General Bill Barr and FBI Director Chris Wray destroyed elections in the United States of America.

    Through their actions and inactions, Bill Barr and Chris Wray were active participants in the massive criminal fraud of the 2020 election.
    1. GBI Strategies Democrat-funded ballot registration harvesting scandal

    The massive ballot registration fraud by GBI Strategies – a Democrat-funded operation – in Michigan and every battleground state.

    Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, in August 2023, CONFIRMED that 8,000 to 10,000 suspected fraudulent ballot registrations were delivered to the Muskegon, Michigan, City Clerk prior to the 2020 election.

    The Gateway Pundit and our contacts in Michigan released the original report earlier in the week. This report and investigation was buried for three years.

    Our reporting was based on a redacted police report describing how Muskegon City Clerk Meisch encountered a woman dropping off 8,000 – 10,000 completed voter registration applications. Meisch found this unusual since the voting population in Muskegon at the time was around 30,000 individuals so she immediately reported this to authorities. The Gateway Pundit reported that the “registrations included the same handwriting, non-existent addresses, and incorrect phone numbers.”

    An investigation found that the woman who turned in the fraudulent ballot registrations worked for GBI Strategies, a Democrat-funded group with operations across the state.

    GBI Strategies was funded by dark money super PAC ‘BlackPAC,’ who paid them $11,254,919 to register voters for Joe Biden.

  8. SICK: Texas Democrat Posts Tweet Seemingly Calling for Bombing American Citizens Who Support Texas Against the Biden Regime Over the Border – Conservatives Respond
    by Cullen Linebarger Jan. 29, 2024 11:00 am42 Comments

    A far-left Texas state legislator over the weekend posted a tweet suggesting the U.S. military would be justified in taking out Americans for daring to own guns and standing with Texas.

    X user @EndWokeness posted a tweet Friday listing the ten states with the most guns per capita. He noted they are all states backing Texas in their ongoing battle with the Biden regime over the border.

    Over half of the adults in these states own firearms.

    End Wokeness
    @EndWokeness
    10 states with the most guns per capita:

    1. Montana (66.4% of adults)
    2. Wyoming (66% of adults)
    3. Alaska (64.5% of adults)
    4. Idaho (60.1% of adults)
    5. WV (58.5% of adults)
    6. AR (57.2% of adults)
    7. MS (56.3% of adults)
    8. AL (55.2% of adults)
    9. SD (55.1% of adults)
    10. ND (55% of adults)

    All 10 of these states support the Texas Border Resistance against the federal government.

    After seeing this post a day later, Texas Democrat State Rep. Gene Wu suggested the proper response was for the U.S. Military to drop bombs on these Americans.

  9. Archbishop Viganò Denounces Globalist Elite’s ‘Coup d’état’ at National Congress: A Call for Resistance Against New World Order
    by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò Jan. 29, 2024 10:20 am84 Comments

    Allow me first of all to thank Dr. Francesco Toscano for the invitation to speak at this National Congress with a brief reflection, which I hope will help to direct your action to the service of the common good.

    We are now facing an epochal threat, in the form of a coup d’état perpetrated by the globalist elite. This coup d’état has only recently appeared in full evidence, but the rambling statements of the participants in the Davos Forum that has just ended are the result of a subversive project carried out for decades. A project that is based on lies, blackmail, and corruption.

    Lies. All the reasons given by the globalist network to legitimize their action are false, or rather: they are false pretexts that deliberately hide other unmentionable reasons.

    There is nothing scientific or rational about the measures taken to address recent crises. Instead, there is a willingness to hide their criminal intentions behind flimsy arguments, in pursuit of which we only waste time and energy.

    The pandemic farce, the crises in Ukraine and Palestine, global warming, and everything that in theory is said to justify the measures taken by governments, the European Union, and the United Nations against us, have the sole purpose of making any opposition impossible, in the name of emergencies that have been pre-planned down to the smallest detail.

    Blackmail. In order to achieve the transition of the population to the globalist model in which everything is in the hands of the elite, the architects of the Great Reset act deliberately, step by step.

  10. Missouri Attorney General Threatens to File Suit Against Biden Regime After Al-Shabab Terrorist Is Caught and Released at US Border and Roams Free in US for Nearly a Year
    by Jim Hoft Jan. 29, 2024 10:00 am98 Comments

    Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced on X that he will file suit against the Biden regime following the news that an Al-Shabab Islamic terrorist crossed over Biden’s open border and roamed free in the United States for nearly a year before his arrest.

    Andrew Bailey tweeted this out on Monday.

    AG Andrew Bailey: I didn’t serve in the United States Army during the War on Terror just to sit by and allow terrorists into our nation because Joe Biden refuses to secure the border. See you in court, POTUS.

  11. Inside the Democrats “Deep State” Plan to Oust Joe and Insert Michelle Obama (Video)
    by Grant Stinchfield Jan. 29, 2024 9:00 am295 Comments

    There is a lot of talk about Michelle Obama being the Democrat nominee for the Presidency. Joe Biden has shown no signs of leaving. So how do the Democrats make this happen? The reality is, they already prepared for it. Party rules make it easy to insert whoever they want as the nominee come convention time in August. This podcast explains the rules that few people know exist. Those rules allow party elites to pick their choice over the peoples choice. There is only one problem, they have to get Joe Biden out of the way. They have a plan for that too!

    “Undeniable at This Point” – Elon Musk Weighs in on Joe Biden’s Open Borders
    by Jim Hoft Jan. 29, 2024 8:15 am223 Comments

    On Friday venture capitalist David Sachs from The All-In Podcast weighed in on Joe Biden’s open borders policies that have allowed some 10 million illegal aliens to walk across the US southern border since he entered the White House in January 2021.

    Of course, David is correct.

    Joe Biden’s first act as president was to end construction of the Trump border wall and open the floodgates to the world.
    The invasion was planned.

    Democrat Felon Pushes Citizen Disarmament with Criminal Constituency
    Ammoland Inc. Posted on January 29, 2024 by David Codrea
    Democrat Rep. Tarra Simmons IMG Facebook
    Let incarcerated criminals vote for citizen disarmament, serve on juries, and run for office to stop “gun violence” — why Grandma, what big lies you have! (Re-elect Tarra Simmons/Facebook)

    “A Washington bill would require a convicted sex offender be among the members of the State Sex Offender Policy Board, which would also be renamed ‘Sex Offense Policy Board,’” The Denver Gazette reported Tuesday.

    House Bill 2177 is the “brainchild” of Democrat Rep. Tarra Simmons, who is joined in her push to let the inmates run the asylum by “Alex Mayo with Washington Voices, an organization that represents convicted sex offenders. He told the committee that the bill would ‘increase diversity of perspectives on the Sex Offender Policy Board. For far too long we have been focused solely on punishment. Our policies also need to address healing and prevention.’”

    There’s nothing like getting an “expert opinion” to promote DEI for criminals. And we have two, starting with Simmons, “charged with five felonies, including for theft, drugs, and having a gun in her car [who] served 20 months in prison,” and Mayo, described as “a returning citizen.” (A web search can show what he’s “returning” from and why he was away.)

    The bottom line in re “policies to address healing” is that anyone who says sex offenders, particularly pedophiles, can be reliably “cured” is playing pretend “science” and ignoring reality. Per a Clinical Therapist at the Residential Sex Offender Treatment Program at the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, “It is a lot more difficult for a preferential offender (pedophile) who only has sexual attraction and arousal to children… They are very difficult if not impossible to rehabilitate… typically, these are the sex offenders who re-offend or see nothing wrong with their actions because to them they are ‘expressing love.’”
    It’s hardly Simmons’ first attempt to set dangerous criminals who have proven they can’t be trusted without a custodian loose on the general populace.

    In 2022, per Shift Washington, she “introduced House Bill 1692 to reduce penalties for drive-by shooters in the name of equity. The bill…changes the definition of aggravated murder to exclude drive-by shootings.”
    ADVERTISEMENT
    SCROLL DOWN TO CONTINUE READING

    Also reported on Tuesday by The Post Millennial is news that Simmons and “Washington Democrats are attempting to pass legislation that would allow felons, including serial killers, to vote, serve on a jury and even run for office while incarcerated.”

    That’s great. Serial predatory parasites will be able to vote in Democrat politicians to disarm the victim pool and punish citizens for using a firearm in defense of their lives and property — politicians like Simmons, who was endorsed by the self-named “Alliance for Gun Responsibility.” These are violence monopoly zealots who never saw a gun they didn’t want to grab, and who partner with prominent prohibitionists across the land (take a minute and look at some of the names). That support is all the proof we need to show that to them, “commonsense gun safety” means simultaneously disarming you and releasing the hounds.
    That’s some “gun responsibility.”
    You have to wonder at what point ordinary Democrats will be so mortified by the lunatic wing that they can no longer support the party, but that’s only if you don’t realize that Simmons is being promoted by the party “mainstream.”

    Nationally, she’s endorsed by, among others, Pete Buttigieg, Joe Biden’s Secretary of Transportation and a 2020 Democrat presidential candidate, and U.S. Senator Patty Murray. At the state level, she’s endorsed by Gov. Jay Inslee, and Attorney General Bob Ferguson. And in a supreme example of cognitive dissonance, or more likely economic self-interest over oaths, the Washington State Fraternal Order of Police endorsed her.

    And after choosing sides, those guys expect to be thanked?

    In a related development, “The city of Seattle, Washington will pay rioters who demonstrated in the name of “Black Lives Matter” $10 million to settle a lawsuit over allegations of excessive force from more than four dozen plaintiffs.” And if Simmons’ efforts succeed, they’ll be able to vote for more.

    In a city run by Democrats… you gotta wonder how many of her FOP constituents, protected by qualified immunity, were beating on her constituents of color…

    This is madness.
    If Democrats have their way, it will spread to everywhere, in Everytown.

  17. Pope Francis Says Africans Are a ‘Special Case’ in Their Fierce Rejection of ‘Same-Sex Blessings’ – Labels Other Opponents as ‘Small Groups’ That Must Be Ignored
    by Paul Serran Jan. 29, 2024 1:00 pm119 Comments

    Globalist Pope Francis is still trying to normalize his train-wreck document Fiducia Suplicans, that prompted negative reactions from hundreds of Conservative bishops all over the world.

    While in central and eastern Europe the idea of priests blessing same-sex unions was met with fierce rejection, nothing compares with the Earthquake that shook Catholic Church in Africa.

    Being forever preoccupied with the political correctness of his every move, Francis decided to give African prelates some special consideration in the controversy that he created.

    In an interview published today (29), the Pope said that Africans were a ‘special case’ in regards to the opposition of bishops and lay people to homosexuality.

    Except for the Africans, critics of Fiducia Suplicans will eventually understand it, he believes.

    Reuters reported:

    “‘Those who protest vehemently belong to small ideological groups’, Francis told Italian newspaper La Stampa. ‘A special case are Africans: for them homosexuality is something ‘bad’ from a cultural point of view, they don’t tolerate it. But in general, I trust that gradually everyone will be reassured by the spirit of the ‘Fiducia Supplicans’ declaration by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith: it aims to include, not divide’, the pope said.

  18. Trump: I Will Send Texas Reinforcements, Not a Restraining Order

    Former President Donald Trump, speaking in a Commit to Caucus rally in Las Vegas on Saturday, promised that he will support Texas in its battle to secure the border, not push back against the state like the Biden administration is doing.

    “When I’m president, instead of trying to send Texas a restraining order, I will send them reinforcements,” Trump told the large crowd gathered at Big League Dreams sports park in Las Vegas.

    “Instead of fighting border states, I will use every resource tool and authority of the U.S. president to defend the United States of America from this horrible invasion that is taking place right now,” Trump said during the rally, which aired live on Newsmax and simulcast on the Newsmax2 online streaming platform.

  19. Denver program that pays homeless people a monthly income is open to migrants

    (The Center Square) – A universal income program partially funded by the city of Denver that pays homeless people a regular stipend is eligible to migrants as long as they meet the criteria, according to the city.

    The Denver Basic Income Program, which was started in 2021 with the aid of $2 million from the city of Denver, announced it will go at least six months more beginning in February 2024.

    The $2 million the city gave Denver Basic Income Project in 2022 was “earmarked for women, families and transgender and gender non-conforming individuals,” according to a city statement to The Center Square. The Denver Basic Income project was open to anyone who met the eligibility requirements. It is funded by public and private money.

  22. Caroline Glick:

    Israel’s Isolated Generals
    The Israeli public has made clear that it opposes cutting a deal for the hostages that will enable Hamas to survive the war. Its leaders should listen.
    .
    Shortly after Hamas’s Oct. 7 invasion of Israel, its sadistic massacre of 1,200 Israelis and kidnap of 246 men, women and children from southern Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government declared war on Iran’s Palestinian proxy. The government set four war goals: the military eradication of Hamas; the eradication of Hamas’s civilian regime in the Gaza Strip; the return of all the hostages; and the permanent pacification of Gaza to ensure that it will never pose a threat to Israel again.

    Almost immediately thereafter, anonymous “senior IDF sources” began grousing to the media about the government’s war goals.…

    A few weeks into the war, the Biden administration began insisting that the government set out its vision for postwar Gaza while making no effort to hide what it expects the plan to include: the transfer of power to the terror-infused, Hamas-aligned Palestinian Authority.

    As Netanyahu hemmed and hawed and delayed his response to avoid a confrontation with the administration, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, Chief of General Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevy and the other generals hopped on the U.S. bandwagon.

    Buttressed by a chorus of retired generals, the sitting generals have insisted on and off the record that the absence of a vision of the day after the war leaves the military directionless. Netanyahu, they gripe, is making it impossible for the IDF to fight strategically.

    => The generals have things backwards. Israel’s strategic goals of destroying Hamas and securing the release of the hostages are both straightforward. It is the General Staff’s job to set out a plan for achieving them, replete with benchmarks to mark success.

    =>By demanding a plan for the day after the war, the General Staff is not asking for further guidance. It is demanding that the war goals be revised.

    Last Saturday, the General Staff’s insubordination reached an all-time high. Israeli reporter Ronen Bergman co-authored an article in The New York Times based on the claims of four unnamed generals in the General Staff.

  23. Venezuelan Communist Dictator Prevents Top Opposition Candidate from Running in Election – Just Like the Democrats
    by Guest Contributor Jan. 29, 2024 6:00 pm71 Comments

    The people of Venezuela are starving. They live in a country where they have no voice. They have watched their once wealthy nation, full of oil deposits, get taken over by communist dictators. They are living in a Marxist hell-hole.

    The only hope for nations when despot communists rule is to vote them out, but the communists own the elections. So in Venezuela today we see this.

    According to HotAir:

    The second to worst thing that can happen to a civil society is civil war. The only thing worse than that is what Venezuela is living with right now, a dictatorship in which there is no hope of democratic change or equal justice. In Nicolas Maduro’s Venezuela his voice is the only one that matters. It has been that way since he took over as the hand-picked successor to communist blowhard Hugo Chavez in 2013.

  24. Another slice of Caroline”s article (linked above):

    For a generation, the Holy Grail of the General Staff has been to reject the very concept of victory. The purpose of military campaigns is to secure deterrence, rather than destroy the enemy.…

    Ha!

    Rejecting the concept of victory is the natural consequence of embracing the left’s paradigm that Israel’s enemies from Iran to Hezbollah to the Palestinians are appeaseable and that their shared strategic goal of annihilating Israel is a bluff.…

    This worldview, which has guided the General Staff for decades, was destroyed completely on Oct. 7. Enemies who seek to annihilate you are by definition undeterrable. Their goal is your total destruction, and the more ingrained the goal, the more obvious the imperative of destroying them becomes.…

    Notably, all of the General Staff’s paradigms are shared by the U.S. foreign-policy establishment. So it isn’t surprising that a consistent position of the generals is that the United States, rather than the IDF, is the guarantor of Israel’s survival.…

    The generals in charge owe their positions to their full adherence to the strategic paradigms of the United States and the political left. They don’t want to move on. But the unanimity of opinion from the public below and the government above will leave them little choice.
