Reader’s Links for June 23rd 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. Not so long ago Canadians thirsted for recognition from Americans. In fact, they would not recognize their own talent until it was firstly successful in the U.S..

    Now this once good country is acknowledged not only by its southern neighbor, but by the whole world for its remarkably fast decline. I can’t say yet what it is declining into because it is still en route, but if we go by its leader it will be akin to China’s “basic dictatorship”.

    Since at least the end of WW2 Canada has ridden the coattails of the USA with great success. It supplied the world’s factory with raw materials, and in return had a comparable standard of living. Using the dollar metric there were even moments when it exceeded the U.S..

    On November 5, 2015 Justin Trudeau was elected Prime Minister by the country’s women and weak men. Yes, this was essentially his supporting demographic. This same demographic supports the Wokism currently tearing the country apart. It is mentacided, captured, and vicious in the manner of the old Soviet model of squealing Communist Party members. The embodiment of this profile is found in Trudeau’s Deputy, Chrystia Freeland, a Ukrainian Canadian with a family history rooted in Naziism.

    Americans looking at Canada should know that they cannot afford such a regime sharing its 5,525 mile long northern border. If they think their Mexican border is problematic they should pay closer attention to this front, because if left unattended it will require military intervention to rectify.

    Even on the most fundamental economic level, the U.S. needs Canada’s vast natural resources if it is to reinvigorate and repatriate its diminishing industrial base. It has no option but to repel CCP advances into Canada’s political class lest these be manifested in the capture of these vital commodities. The sooner this is accomplished the easier it will be.

    • Canada will seem “weak” unless they raise tariffs in lockstep with US. So higher prices, forever.

  4. I really liked this interview with Andrew Bridgen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pidSG5nMkW8&t=1903s

    An honest man looks at corruption in the system and how it works from the inside ,from his experience at the top and bottom. It helped me understand more of how the rot becomes the system

    One commenter wrote: I have never watched an interview like this before. I doubt there HAS ever been an interview like this before. Talk about sticking your neck out. An MP who has lost his wife, his home, and may perhaps his life after the things he mentions here, but carries on regardless. Integrity fits this guy like a second skin.

  5. Snopes.com, perhaps the most well-known fact-checking website, has finally confirmed — seven years later — that President Donald Trump did not refer to neo-Nazis in Charlottesville in August 2017 as “very fine people.”

    The false claim was central to President Joe Biden’s election in 2020. He used it to launch his campaign in April 2019, claiming he had been inspired to run against President Trump because the latter called neo-Nazis “very fine people.”

  6. An Arizona toddler was trapped in a hot Tesla when the vehicle’s battery died without warning, leaving her helpless grandmother with no other option than to call 911.

    Renee Sanchez said the recent situation could have been “deadly” when her 20-month-old granddaughter got stuck in her car, AZFamily reported.

    The Scottsdale woman loaded the little girl into her car seat for a trip to the Phoenix Zoo, shut the back door, and went around to the front. When she tried to open the driver’s door, it wouldn’t budge.

    “My car was dead,” Sanchez told the outlet. “I could not get in. My phone key wouldn’t open it. My card key wouldn’t open it.”

    The Tesla service department confirmed that Sanchez did not receive any alerts that her car battery was about to die, even though the vehicles are supposed to give the driver three warnings before the battery needs to be recharged.

  8. Former President Donald Trump vowed that he would not “give one penny” to schools that have vaccine and mask mandates, and to keep men out of women’s sports.

    During the rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, Trump said that if elected, “on day one,” he would sign an executive order to slash federal funding to schools pushing critical race theory, transgenderism, or “other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content.”

    “On day one I will sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity, and any other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content onto our children,” Trump told the crowd.

    “I will not give one penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate, or a mask mandate,” Trump added. “And, I will keep men out of women’s sports on day one. Signed.”

  9. Two very worthwhile interviews regarding Ukraine , US military , and North Korea. Scott Ritter brought up an interesting point comparing WW2 US Naval battles in the Pacific to the current situation of the USS Eisenhower Carrier battle group in the Red Sea. Most of the WW2 naval battles were hours or days vs the Houthi’s and the Red Sea where the Eisenhower is on full battle alert 24/7 for months … the Houthi’s have broken the Eisenhower crew .. they are dead tired and now about to be sent to the Eastern Mediterranean where they are more vulnerable to Hezbollah missiles if the US / Israel attack Hezbolla.

  11. Top Trump DOJ Official Jeff Clark Explains Why Jack Smith’s Appointment is Unconstitutional and How He May Be Operating Outside of the Chain of Command (VIDEO)
    by Cristina Laila Jun. 23, 2024 4:00 pm76 Comments

    Top DOJ official Jeff Clark appeared on Steve Bannon’s War Room to discuss Judge Cannon’s hearing on legal challenges to Jack Smith’s special counsel appointment.

    Cannon did not issue a ruling after the hearing concluded on Friday.

    President Trump previously filed a motion to dismiss Jack Smith’s classified documents charges based on the “unlawful appointment and funding of Special Counsel.”

    According to NBC News, President Trump’s lawyers “argued that an officer like the special counsel must be appointed “by law” and that the special counsel should be categorized as a “principal officer” and subject to Senate confirmation. The statutory text cited by the special counsel’s office “does not authorize” the U.S. attorney general’s appointment of the special counsel, his lawyer, Emil Bove, argued.

  12. Lindsey Graham Says Biden Could Face Criminal Charges Over Laken Riley’s Murder By Illegal Alien (VIDEO)

    Sen. Lindsey Graham suggested that Joe Biden could be subject to criminal charges over the murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley by an illegal alien.

    Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student at the University of Georgia, was brutally killed while out running by Jose Antonio Ibarra, a 26-year-old illegal alien from Venezuela who was allowed into the country by the Biden regime.

    In an interview with Fox News, Graham suggested that Biden could face criminal prosecution if the Supreme Court does not rule there is presidential immunity.

    Graham explained:

    The border is beyond broken. You have wars in Ukraine. You have the Mideast on fire. When it comes to enforcing the law, Joe Biden has been beyond reckless. He’s taken a parole statute that’s limited in nature and has given a million people parole when, on average, the Trump and [Obama] administrations gave 5,600 people parole. Laken Riley’s murderer was paroled because they had lack of capacity in El Paso.

    On and on and on, all these women who have been raped and murdered have one thing in common, the people that killed them raped them, and murdered them were in our custody and let go, I think illegally. So Joe Biden better hope and pray there’s presidential immunity because when he allowed the killer of Laken Riley to be released on parole because of lack of capacity, I think he’s subject not only to a lawsuit but criminal prosecution if there’s not presidential immunity.

    During his bizarre State of the Union address earlier this year, Biden acknowledged that Riley had been murdered by an “illegal” but refused to take responsibility for her death.

    However, he later apologized for these remarks after a backlash from open border activists, insisting that he should have used the term “undocumented” instead.

    “I’m not gonna treat any of these people with disrespect,” Biden said of illegal aliens. “They built this country.”
