Reader’s Links for July 8th 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.

    Is the Coup Against Biden Coming Out of Europe? Foreign election interference.

    Democrats panicked after Biden’s debate disaster and donor pressure continues to mount to oust him, but it’s also important to note another incident that seemed to trigger the coup to remove Biden from the ticket.

    A lot of the sudden ‘concerns’ about Biden have been coming out of Europe after his G7 visit.

    Media quotes about Biden’s condition repeatedly cited European sources from the G7 visit. Politico (which is Euro-owned) has collected a whole lot of recent “concerns” from the upcoming NATO summit about whether Biden should run…

    Biden’s mental state is out there, but it’s wildly inappropriate for foreign government officials to be interfering in an American election.

    And they are interfering.

    Speaking to POLITICO before the U.K.’s change of government on Thursday, a U.K. minister put it most bluntly: “Can the Democrat donors please get their act together and get Biden retired, so we have some chance of a candidate credible for voters?”

    If this is what he’s saying to a media outlet, you can bet he’s saying it to any American officials he’s talking to…

    What we should be considering is the role that the Euros are playing in this election interference.

    There was definitely a sizable European role in the Russiagate frameup and it’s worth asking how much of the campaign to replace Biden originated in Europe after some leaders were less than impressed by his presence at G7.

    Americans pick their own leaders. And the European intervention in American politics raises troubling questions especially when those Euros are championing an undemocratic coup by donors.

    “Can the Democrat donors please get their act together and get Biden retired,” a foreign government official asks.

    One explosive question is how much of the Democrat donor coup aimed at Biden is being masterminded by donors with European connections and financial interests?

        Canadian Bacon: Restart the Cold War

    • Dan Greenfield:
      The Media’s Anti-Biden Campaign Is Just as Fake as its Pro-Biden Campaign
      It’s all coordinated propaganda.

      Journalism has been dead and buried since the 90s. What exists today is public relations, opposition research, agitprop, and the other elements of a communications apparatus for a political movement.

      Occasionally people notice that everyone in the media is saying the same exact thing in the same exact way.

      Now that the media got its marching orders to demand that Biden step down (mere weeks after denouncing the idea that there was anything wrong with him as dangerous disinformation and cheapfakes), the hive mind is once again marching in unison to an absurd degree.

      …Sometimes you have to take the car keys from an old person…

    • Rumor mill has it that Biden and family are negotiating their exit, aka $$$.
      IMO, that makes sense.

      • Just pray Michelle doesn’t sashay in. She’s the only one convincing enough to steal the election and make it look like a credible win.

        Only PTrump can press the pause button on WW-3. Lunatics running NATO are hell-bent on escalation. PT has little patience for such delusional Masters of the Universe. China and Iran need to be reminded we’re still the USA.

        • I don’t think she will, if she was planning to they wouldn’t have sold their DC mansion, add this in with the baggage she is carrying over the statements she made about how she felt about the US before Barack was elected.

  3. Retired German general interviewed for a German audience provides his analysis on the Uke war. He contradicts himself by firstly saying this war is the result of purely Russian aggression, then later concedes the 2014 intrusions by the West on Russian long-stated security fears vis-a-vis Uke neutrality giving Russia casus belli.

  4. Orban makes surprise visit to China. (Whatever he is up to I wouldn’t underestimate him.):

    • Dima doesn’t mention it, but it’s all Telegram:

      Ukraine war briefing: Chinese troops hold military exercises with Belarus on Polish border
      Two key Russia allies to hold joint anti-terrorism exercises in border city of Brest over 11 days. What we know on day 866

      Chinese military personnel are to begin joint “anti-terrorist training” with their counterparts in Belarus on Monday, close to the border with Poland. The “Eagle Assault” exercises by the two Russian allies amid the war in Ukraine will be held over 11 days in the border city of Brest, Belarus.

    • This Australian journalist has been based in Russia since 1985.. He hates everything about the West (including Oz, Jews/Israel, and Christianity). He’s as twisted as the German Communist blogger we’ve been forced to read for Ukraine War info that somewhat approaches reality.

      So read what he says about Mr. Orban’s visits to Russia and China with that in mind.

  6. Heavy day. Bad stuff.

    The Heat 38: Ruthless Missiles, 3 Destroyed HIMARS, And Hundreds Of FABs.

    • It would seem the angle of the missile’s wing structure is not Russian. And there is no way Russia would target a children’s hospital as they would have everything to lose by doing so. There’s an upcoming big meeting with Russia and other nations tomorrow about this issue.

  9. Avi Issacharoff was a big shot analyst of Palestinian affairs at Haaretz. {spit}
    Then he became one of the stars of Times of Israel (ToI), a new, mini-Haaretz. {spit}

    From 2013 to 2020 I read everything he wrote. A seventh-generation, Jerusalem-born Israeli of Kurdish ancestry. A golden boy, he knew Arabs and the “Palestinian” flavor well. But over time he became just another glib leftist advocate for their interests.

    ToI kept sinking ever deeper into the dumpster. Avi seemed ok with its singular mission: Destroy Bibi – BAMN.
    Then he changed careers, became a wildly successful screenwriter.

    I only look at Ynet when Israel is at war. No other source in English comes close to its quality coverage of military affairs. Though I don’t agree with everything – don’t want to agree – it opens my mind a bit. To quote Leonard Cohen: There’s a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in, that’s how the light gets in…

    Now I see Avi Issacharoff at Ynet!
    October 7 was hideously expensive. But Avi’s not the only Israeli whose latent wisdom has been revealed.

    The hostage deal hangs on Sinwar’s call, not Netanyahu’s

    Analysis: While Egypt tries to portray optimism for the new hostage deal sent to Hamas, the terror group’s leader will likely refuse it while Netanyahu continues to avoid taking real action

    By tying Israel’s hands over Rafah, US distancing hostage deal

    Opinion: Hamas sees Israel has no leverage left in negotiations after concessions made, leaving Rafah its remaining bullet and that has no[w] become a dud; only talk of day after war can change US position
