Reader’s Links for June 19th 2024

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. Russian strongman Vladimir Putin received a lavish welcome in Pyongyang, North Korea, on Tuesday evening, meeting with Kim Jong-un throughout Wednesday and signing a treaty that calls for their two countries to act in the event either is attacked militarily.

    Putin confirmed that the “comprehensive partnership” deal “provides for mutual assistance in the event of aggression against one of the parties to this treaty,” praising the agreement as a “groundbreaking document” necessary to improve what was already a friendly relationship between Moscow and Pyongyang.

    Once ironclad allies during the era of the former Soviet Union, North Korea has for decades maintained cordial relations with Russia.

  5. 2 French adolescents are accused of raping a 12-year-old girl, motivated by antisemitism

    Two adolescent boys in a Paris suburb have been given preliminary charges of raping a 12-year-old girl and religion-motivated violence, French authorities said Wednesday. A Jewish leader said the girl is Jewish.
    The attack elicited widespread shock and concern, notably after a surge in antisemitic acts in France since the start of the Israel-Hamas war.
    The girl reported a rape in the town of Courbevoie on Saturday, and three boys, aged 12 and 13, were detained, according to the regional prosecutor’s office.
    It said two of the boys were given multiple preliminary charges on Tuesday, including aggravated gang rape on a minor younger than 15, violence and public insult motivated by religion, death threats, attempted extortion and unlawfully recording or broadcasting sexual images.
    The prosecutor’s office did not specify the girl’s religion or release her identity, according to policies for the protection of victims, as is standard practice for hate crimes in France.
    Later, lawyer and Jewish leader Elie Korchia said in an interview with French broadcaster BFM that the girl is Jewish and that Palestine was mentioned during the attack. French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that the girl was “raped because she’s Jewish”, identifying it as an antisemitic attack.
    The two boys are being held in custody pending further investigation, the prosecutor’s office said. The third boy was named as an assisted witness to the alleged rape, and placed in a special education program. The prosecutor’s office said the three boys “expressed regret towards the victim without addressing their involvement.”
    Political leaders across the spectrum denounced the attack. France is in the midst of a blitz campaign for snap parliamentary elections on June 30 and July 7, and the frontrunner far-right National Rally party has sought to make security and immigration key campaign issues.
    Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin described the attack as “awful,” and said police were limited in their ability to prevent such violence. “It’s a problem of the parents … of authority. It’s a problem of society as a whole,” he said on BFM television.

  8. Why are NYPD uniforms, cruiser decals, and radios going missing in droves?
    By Olivia Murray
    This could be something, or it could be nothing, but according to Tony Seruga, a data scientist and intelligence community whistleblower, New York Police Department uniforms, cruiser decals, and radios are going missing—in droves. See the X post below for the details:

    Never mind the movies though, because just two days ago, the New York Post reported on a thwarted killing spree, one in which the would-be suspected jihadist had an arsenal of weapons…and an NYPD vest. Or, consider Canada’s “worst modern-era mass shooting” which saw the perpetrator dressed in law enforcement gear and driving a replica cruiser; as The Guardian noted, the confusion caused utter chaos:
