Reader’s Links for April 20th, 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.

  6. Taxing the Super-Rich Is Brazil’s G-20 Plan for Climate, Hunger

    As president of this year’s Group of 20 nations, Brazil has made implementing a global minimum wealth tax on billionaires its cause celebre. It’s touting the levy as a means to fund efforts to combat rising temperatures and poverty in low- and middle-income countries — and is attempting to drum up support for the idea, long popular in progressive circles, on the world stage.

    “You can use these resources to start decarbonization in the poorest countries, which would increase investments in these places with humanitarian benefits,” Brazil’s Finance Minister Fernando Haddad said Thursday in an interview on the sidelines of the Spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in Washington.

    As scientists warn about the increasing dangers of a warmer world, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has made tackling climate change and inequality central themes of Brazil’s G-20 leadership.

    Brazil in February invited French economist Gabriel Zucman to pitch G-20 finance ministers on his plan to slap a 2% minimum tax on the world’s billionaires — a group of about 3,000 people – and the suggestion has struck a chord.

    France and Spain have backed the idea of working on a tax and on Wednesday, IMF Chief Kristalina Georgieva said that “closing tax loopholes, ensuring that everyone pays their fair share” can help muster more resources for inclusive growth.

  7. U.K.’s Only Munitions Factory Explodes, Just Days After U.S. Army Ammunition Factory Catches Fires in Scranton, PA
    by Anthony Scott Apr. 20, 2024 5:20 pm0 Comments

    The United Kingdom’s lone munitions filing factory exploded on Wednesday, just two days after a fire erupted at the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

    As The Gateway Pundit previously reported on April 15th, the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant (SCAAP), the United States’ primary producer of 155mm artillery shell bodies, caught fire.

    Just two days later, on April 17th, a section of the United Kingdom’s lone munition factory exploded after a single shell went off inside the factory.

    The explosion occurred at the BAE Systems munitions factory in Glascoed, Wales.

    BAE Systems is the biggest defense contractor in Europe and the 7th largest in the world.

    The cause of the explosion at the munition factory is currently being investigated.
