Reader’s Links for April 17th, 2024

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.

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

  1. Canadian capital is scratching its head. The Liberal budget tabled yesterday says “EAT THE RICH” in a manner that tries to hide behind s false virtue disguised as “fairness”, but screams its slogan regardless. Keeping true to his Keynesian/collectivist nature, Dear Leader delivers via his midget Nazi yet another galvanized screw into the Canadian coffin. Till now capital gains was taxed on 50% of an asset after sale. This will increase to 75% in June. Of course, the generators of wealth in this country–risk takers–will start heading for the door. Here, former Bank of Canada Governor David Dodge says it. In Shangri-La there is a law that says politicos are liable for imprisonment for speaking truth after they leave office, rather than having spoken the truth the country needed when they were in a position to be held accountable:

    • Government to borrow $508 billion this year — 83% will go to refinancing part of Canada’s 1.4 trillion debt.

      The government spent over 83 million dollars on the use of the Emergency Act.

      The government destroyed 74 million doses of Covid vaccines worth 2.1 billion.

      Freeland says she asks “What kind of Canada do you want to live in”?
      A VERY large % of Canadians say a Canada that is FREE of World Economic Forum clowns.

  2. Entitled, rich, communist throws tantrum when a paying audience member asks him to stop imposing his political nonsense and deliver the music they paid for. Lol. The sanctimony-soaked DNA of these idiots never changes. They never consider the coin has two sides:

  6. Worldwide currency controls begin disguised as gold control. This is the stuff of economic depressions:

    • I haven’t watched the entire video but a economic depression will drop wages and prices back to where everyone can afford buying more then the basics necessary for survival. What will be bad is working to get the worlds governments to avoid applying Keynesian economics in their attempt to end the depression. History shows that you end depressions by cutting taxes, cutting government payroll instead of increasing government spending.The governments belonging to the Keynesian cult will do all of the wrong things and deepen and lengthen the depression.

  7. Russian President Putin to Iranian President Raisi: Iran’s reponse “was the best way to punish the aggressor and an expression of the tact and rationality of Iran’s leaders.”

    Turkish President Erdogan: “There is no difference between the Turkish national forces in the (Turkish) War of Independence and the Hamas movement now. We know the weight these thing have.”

    • Movina Rostami, an outstanding Iranian volleyball player, wrote on her Instagram: As an Iranian, I am really ashamed of the regime’s attack on Israel, but you should know that the people of Iran love Israel and hate the Islamic Republic.

      This morning she was arrested and God knows what will happen to her.
      Movina Rostami is a heroic and brave woman who reflects the Iranian people who are enslaved under the hand of the evil and terrorist regime of the Avatollahs.
      How much courage, how much truth.
      I have one thing to say to the Iranian people, to the prizes kidnapped by Khomeini’s terrorist organization. It’s a matter pf time, really soon!

  8. Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Subsidizing the Fentanyl Crisis
    by Antonio Graceffo Apr. 17, 2024 8:30 am84 Comments

    The investigation by the Select Committee on The CCP’s Role in the Fentanyl Crisis reveals that the CCP subsidizes PRC companies producing fentanyl precursor chemicals for export, thus knowingly exacerbating the US drug crisis.

    In his State of the Union Address on March 7, 2024, President Biden acknowledged Fentanyl as one of the most significant threats confronting the United States. The president’s assertion aligns with the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Annual Threat Assessment for 2024, which identifies fentanyl as the second-largest threat, following terrorism. The report also states that DHS expects “illegal drugs produced in Mexico and sold in the United States will continue to kill more Americans than any other threat.”

    According to a DHS Fact Sheet regarding the State of the Union Address, the fentanyl crisis “originates with China-based entities that manufacture and distribute the chemicals used to produce the fentanyl fueling American overdose deaths.” The CCP manufactures 98% of the global supply of precursor chemicals used to produce fentanyl. The select committee not only uncovered CCP subsidies for fentanyl but also for numerous other synthetic and illicit drugs.

    The DHS Fact Sheet provides additional details, stating that “DHS participated in the development of a new Counternarcotics Working Group with China to disrupt the manufacture and flow of illicit synthetic drugs.” Given the emerging evidence of CCP’s direct involvement in the fentanyl crisis, this initiative appears ironic and likely ineffective in halting its spread.

  9. “You a B**ch!” Vicious Student Assaults Teacher at North Carolina High School While Fellow Pupils Laugh – Suspect Identified and Charged with Misdemeanors (VIDEO)
    by Cullen Linebarger Apr. 17, 2024 8:45 am691 Comments

    A student earlier this week was caught on tape assaulting a North Carolina high school teacher during a vulgar diatribe. But the pupil is only being charged with misdemeanors despite the violent act.

    The short video of the assault, which The North Carolina Beat first obtained, shows the youth confronting the teacher inside Parkland High School in Winston-Salem before viciously slapping her twice. He can be heard calling the teacher a “b*tch,” taunts her multiple times, and even drops the N-word.

    The students behind the camera can be heard ooohing and laughing while the assault takes place.

    Surprisingly, the teacher keeps her cool despite the pupil’s horrific behavior.

    Accused in Toronto Pearson airport heist

    Three Ontario men and a person from Florida have been arrested in connection to the $20-million Toronto Pearson airport gold heist after U.S. agents uncovered a cross-border gun trafficking plot linked to the heist, National Post has learned.

    Police will announce details Wednesday on “Project 24K” — a secret, joint investigation into the high-profile theft of gold from Pearson airport. 24K is short for 24 carats, the measurement for nearly pure gold, which is usually the purity of high-grade gold bars, such as the ones stolen from Pearson.

  12. A little party on the Dam in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Apparently some muslims celebrated Iran’s attack on Israel:

    The palestinian and turkish flag are no surprise, but I did a double-take when I saw the flag of South-Africa. I assume one of the protesters thought it was the palestinian flag because of the similarity of shapes and colors.

    The Canadian celebrations that greeted Iran’s attack on Israel
    The events were not out of character for a Canadian anti-Israel movement that has been pretty open about celebrating violence directed at the Jewish state
    https://nationalpost.com/opinion/the-canadian-celebrations-that-greeted-irans-attack-on-israel
    Within minutes of news emerging that Iran had launched an unprecedented direct attack at Israel, Canadian cities were witness to scenes of open celebration.
    In one widely circulated video, keffiyah-clad demonstrators were shown cheering, banging drums and lighting off smoke bombs as a speaker announced “the Islamic Republic of Iran has just sent tens of drones towards Israel.”
    The 44-second video was posted by Caryma Sa’d, a Toronto lawyer who regularly documents protests in the city. Sa’d wrote in a caption, “protesters react to breaking news of Iran launching drones at Israel in retaliatory attack for a strike which killed a top Iranian commander.”
