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.

A short but good interview with the great Rick Rule, mining executive and sharp investor. He gives his take on BRICS and the USD, which I find to be more nuanced than most, and therefore more credible.
The idea that the USD can fall, then recover as it did in the 1970s, is the nuance I want to hear. The part he forgets to mention is that history says reserve currencies average about 90 years. Maybe this time will be different.

Further to Rick Rule above, the wildcard metric is public confidence in any currency. No person, no matter how knowledgeable, can know when confidence will be lost. Today cannot be compared to the 70s in terms of sovereign debt to GDP.

Short clip on Camala Harris:
One question I have is: if AI is as good as everyone says it is, then for all we know Biden can be dead but living on virtually through voice and image. At least for the few days needed to rearrange the furniture:

That is why we are asking for proof of life
So here’s a wierd take on it.
AI is SO good, that they could have asked it to answer in Biden’s usual style. In other words, he wouldn’t get any names right and he would stumble through multiple words at once.
But this was a clear strong voice, all names were correct and his elocution was better than it was for years.
This was a Biden impersonator.
We need proof of life. Mind you we have needed that since 2020 with this guy.
I have read several people who insist that Biden is using a body double.
Joe is alive.
Biden arrives at Joint Base Andrews from Dover AFB.
He will be at the White House in 30 minutes.
