Reader’s Links for June 27th, 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. The IDF struck a building on Wednesday night in the city of Nabatieh, located in southern Lebanon, according to Wednesday Israeli media reports citing Arab media.

    Initial reports say that a building was damaged in the area. The purpose of the strike has not been disclosed yet.

  2. Air defense systems were activated on Wednesday night in the Damascus area of Syria due to an aircraft attack, killing two people and wounding a soldier, Syrian state media said early on Thursday.

    Syrian reports described echoes of explosions in the sky of the town Set Zaynab, located south of Damascus. Reports said that the Kol Habira website, affiliated with the Syrian opposition, published a video of the alleged Israeli attack.

  3. Bloomberg News on Tuesday published an exposé on the relationship between China’s Huawei telecom giant and Optica, a nonprofit scientific foundation based in Washington, DC.

    According to documents reviewed by Bloomberg, Huawei and Optica had much deeper and stronger ties than either was willing to acknowledge in public.

    Tuesday’s report was a follow-up to Bloomberg’s report in May that revealed Huawei has been “secretly funding cutting-edge research at American universities” through Optica. The Chinese Communist-linked firm turned out to be the sole funder for an annual research competition administered by Optica, a fact that was not disclosed to entrants in the competition.

    Several major U.S. universities said they would not have participated in the research competition if they had known it was financed by Huawei. After the report prompted a congressional investigation, Optica returned Huawei’s funding and removed representatives of the company from the panel of judges for its research competition.

  4. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) “condemn[ed]” Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass Wednesday for speaking out (belatedly) against an antisemitic protest at a synagogue on Sunday, saying the protest was legitimate.

    As Breitbart News reported, a mob of pro-Palestinian activists targeted the Adas Torah synagogue in the Jewish neighborhood of Pico-Robertson, blocking the entrance to bar access to an event about buying real estate in Israel.

    It was the second protest at a synagogue in Los Angeles in the space of three days. Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers eventually cleared the protesters, after violence broke out aith pro-Israel counter-demonstrators.

    Governor Gavin Newsom (D) and Mayor Bass (D) condemned the protest late on Sunday evening (after Breitbart News reported that neither had done so). On Monday, President Joe Biden also condemned the protest, calling it “dangerous, unconscionable, antisemitic, and un-American” for targeting a synagogue. The Israeli government also weighed in, calling the targeting of a Jewish house of worship, and the subsequent violence, “absolutely shocking.”

  5. Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), or “Doctors Without Borders,” denied Wednesday that its “colleague,” Fadi Al-Wadiya was also an Islamic Jihad terrorist — but the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) produced photos of him in uniform.

    As Breitbart News noted earlier Wednesday, Fadi Al-Wadiya was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Tuesday. He was a senior member of the Iranian-backed terror group, responsible for directing rocket attacks against Israeli civilians.

    Doctors Without Borders claimed that Al-Wadiya was just a physical therapist “on his way to work.” It denied that he was a terrorist, and produced a photograph of him treating a child in Gaza in 2022.

  6. Tucker’s speech in Canberra was a model of truth speech. He loved the country, destroyed the worldwide MSM, then the Aussie media and then was asked questions by journalists who’s no-nothingness was simply astonishing. They enacted how he described their tactics.

    I found it deeply inspiring and hopeful. And Canadian politics got a real comeuppance too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dka2i27sxgs

  7. WASHINGTON, DC – Social media companies like Facebook are free to continue censoring conservatives according to a divided Supreme Court, over a vigorous conservative dissent.

    “During the 2020 election season and the COVID–19 pandemic, social-media platforms frequently removed, demoted, or fact checked posts containing allegedly false or misleading information,” Justice Amy Coney Barrett began for the majority. “At the same time, federal officials, concerned about the spread of “misinformation” on social media, communicated extensively with the platforms about their content-moderation efforts.”

    Barrett recounted the facts of various officials in the White House, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the surgeon general, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).

    “Though the platforms restricted the plaintiffs’ content, the plaintiffs maintain that the Federal Government was behind it,” Barrett explained. “Acting on that belief, the plaintiffs sued dozens of Executive Branch officials and agencies, alleging that they pressured the platforms to censor the plaintiffs’ speech in violation of the First Amendment.”

  8. Terrified Jewish mother claims she is contemplating LEAVING Britain with her family after her 11-year-old son was brutally assaulted at Belsize Park tube station
    By ANYA MARKOVITZ and SABRINA MILLER

    PUBLISHED: 13:58 EDT, 26 June 2024 | UPDATED: 14:11 EDT, 26 June 2024

    The mother of an 11-year-old Jewish boy brutally assaulted at Belsize Park Tube station has said her ‘terrified’ family is now considering fleeing Britain following the shocking attack.

    The woman, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that her son is now ‘struggling to sleep’ and that he is ‘deeply shaken’ after being beaten up with his school friends in an incident currently being investigated by police as a hate crime.

    Speaking to MailOnline she said: ‘There’s a lot of support being given by the British Transport Police and the school but my son is very shaken and he’s struggling to sleep.

  11. I think I’m becoming a skunk whisperer, sort of. It all began a couple of months ago. A skunk family moved in under the storage shed in my yard. I started bumping into them. I was scared and reluctant to go near there, but things have evolved.

    There are seven children and a mother. The father is, sadly, absent. I believe an absent father is the single greatest contributing factor to the failure of young skunks in society. I cannot yet tell if they are black with white stripes like Barack Obama, or white with black bodies like my Jamaican friend, Curt, who calls me his, “bruddah from anudda mudda.”

    Curt once racked up a $7,000 rent bill with me. In a moment of frustration and epiphany I asked him why he was making a debt slave of himself. He could have chosen to run away, but to his character and credit he did not. Instead he stuck around and worked it off. We later discussed it and agreed that the word “nigger” was, in fact, non-racial. Anyone could attain this low status regardless of race by placing themselves behind the proverbial
    financial eight-ball. They disadvantaged themselves by making bad choices. This happened every day, Curt realized, to blacks, whites, yellows, reds and paisleys. This pejorative word so often used between black people deserved to shed its racist tone, he said, now that he realized its true meaning.

    Now when I go out to the shed I check for the cute little skunks. They have very bad eyesight so often don’t see me. From a safe distance I gently clap my hands. They perk up, turn my way as if to mutter “uh-oh”, then hurry back into their hole beneath the shed. I feel we are developing a rapport. I wonder if, since daddy is gone, I have possibly imprinted upon them a fatherly figure. If true it will be huge. To expect such trust to develop between such disparate cultures I know is a wildly progressive expectation, so if I am an idealistic fool then so be it! Let the chips fall where they may! No more sitting at the back of MY bus!

    Tomorrow I shall confront the mother with my treaty proposal of good will and understanding from a social distancing of less than six feet. Hopefully I will report back to site for having attained new heights of diversity, equity and inclusion in my backyard society! Stay tuned!

    • LOL I had a friend who fed quite a few skunks at her farm for years. They would come running first thing in the morning. They loved her, would rub against her ankles, and she never got sprayed. She had names for them — congratulations on your new bffs. Animals know how wonderful and caring people are. Remember Dire Straits song, Here Comes Johnny. Have a “sweet day”.

      • Thanks ET. My attempt at the “progressive” mindset will be proven tomorrow morning. Stay tuned!

      • I suspect the mom will be ready to treat: skunks are not bigoted. One formed a strong bond with our neighbour’s cat and they would spend days curled up together under the neighbour’s front step, sleeping, and at night, they worked together to knock over and raid our garbage cans.

        Another skunk fell in love with my parents’ Lhasa Apso, who was black with a white stripe and smelled somewhat skunky all on his own. The lovestruck skunk wound pound on their patio door trying to get in and followed them a few steps behind when they took the dog for a walk.

        So, you can probably negotiate a good treaty with the skunk mom – they will keep your lawn free of grubs and such – good deal for everyone!

  13. WHOA! White House Press Corps Forced to Watch Feed of CNN Debate From Building Across the Street Because They Believe There May Be a “Medical Emergency” Involving One of the Candidates Requiring On-Scene Coverage

    According to Real Clear Investigations reporter Paul Sperry, the White House press corps is being forced to watch feed of the CNN presidential debate Thursday night from a building across the street because they believe there may be a “medical emergency” involving one of the presidential candidate (Joe Biden).

    “White House press corps has petitioned CNN to open up the debate studio to reporters, who for now have to watch a feed from a building across the street, b/c they believe there may be a “medical emergency” involving one of the prez candidates requiring on-scene coverage,” Paul Sperry said.

    Recall that Joe Biden had a medical emergency during a CNN town hall in September 2019. His eye filled with blood during the climate town hall.

    Thursday night’s CNN debate in Atlanta will be hosted by Trump haters Jake Tapper and Dana Bash.

    The debate is rigged.

    According to Leading Report reporter Patrick Webb: CNN will implement a 1-2 minute delay for tonight’s presidential debate instead of the standard 7-second delay, potentially allowing time to edit parts of the broadcast

    CNN got triggered and responded to Patrick Webb but didn’t refute his claims.

    Thanks for confirming the delay.

    The microphones will be muted except when it is the candidate’s ‘turn’ to speak.

    Of course, they will likely only use this feature to mute Trump.

    According to CNN: The ‘high tech’ microphones have green lights which will tell Biden and Trump whether their mic is on or not.

    If the light is off but the candidate tries to talk, the sound of their voice won’t make it to the viewers watching on TV.
