Reader’s Links for August 2, 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. The Substack is a different project in a sense. It is older videos that in the light of subsequent events, look different or of increased importance, Check it out now and again if you like.

  1. If I am not mistaken, the woman in the video below is the same woman in this story:

    A pro-life activist who has been sentenced to nearly four years in prison for blockading a New York City abortion clinic is seeking to raise money so she can appeal the decision.

    The United States Department of Justice announced in a statement Wednesday that Bevelyn Beatty Williams was sentenced to 41 months in prison for standing at the entrance of a New York City abortion clinic over a two-day period in 2020. The sentencing comes five months after a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York found Williams guilty of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.

    This lady in the following video has a few words to say about Kamala Harris and the Biden regime:

    Good Tulsi Gabbard clip, too.

    • OK – yes, that is Bevelyn.

      Here is another channel carrying the same video of her from above, identifying her by name.

      Plus, really good commentary.

  2. I try to grasp the depth and breadth of the Russian disinformation machine. Separating the wheat from the chaff is the order, here. Pronouncing with unequivocal certainty which entities are, or are not, organs of this machine is to me conspicuous, yet I defer to some in trust.

    Making the chaff sweet so that it is consumable naturally makes the wheat less distinguishable. From a random search:
    “…The files exposed a Kremlin-linked campaign in which “political strategists and trolls have written thousands of fabricated news articles, social media posts and comments that promote American isolationism, stir fear over the United States’ border security and attempt to amplify U.S. economic and racial tensions,” the …Apr 11, 2024.”

    Ok we get it. We are now “played” by media forces both domestic and foreign perhaps to a degree like never before. Never before is a reasonable assumption given history has no internet.

    Like a yellow vest movement, any news source or aggregator, including this one, is presumably a target of someone. Infiltrators will enter dressing and sounding the same, worm their way to the front, then lead as many followers as possible down some-time wasting, dead-end alley. Mission accomplished.

    The Soviets had many years of captive populations to refine their technique. Here is something on this:
    https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/documents-publications/library/library-blog/posts/soviet-and-russian-disinformation-reading-references/

    The question is: Is this source good or not? I don’t know. That would take time to dig into it to find out. Time is as rare as gold. –Not an excuse, but a confession. Again, I defer in trust to some with the confidence to poo-poo any source because I assume they have done my digging for me. Wrong of me, yes, but time… We all take shortcuts because there is the minor matter of life to tend to.

    Trust. Like gold it is another rare commodity and similarly prone to counterfeit without verification. Yet, we have no choice but to place trust somewhere because we are not islands. Even then trust often requires a generous leap of faith.

    Trump recently came out saying he wants to make the U.S. the Bitcoin bastion of the world, or something. Really? He’s putting his faith behind a mathematical code to nothing? The source of which is dubious beautiful mind(s)? That has been permitted to propagate despite being in direct competition with the USD, and despite all other USD competitors (see Gaddafi and Hussein who threatened African gold-backed currencies) being eliminated? Why is Trump saying this? Is he the real deal or a pied piper to financial oblivion? How is Bitcoin, or any other code to nothing, not a trap? Or is this somehow a furtive effort to get back to gold that I don’t understand? Because Judy Shelton is a gold advocate and his advisor? Again, I choose to leap in faith and stand by my man because I see no alternatives to him at this time. What about J.D. Vance? Hater turned partner. Cinderella Hollywood success vaulting to be be the defacto prez after PT? Really? How can I not be suspicious? Again I leap.

    What about BRICS? Is it to be dismissed as a geopolitical enemy of the U.S. because it is lead by Russia and China? Are founding members India and Brazil our enemies, too? Are BRICS flirts Argentina and Peru enemies?

    In fact, the majority of potential candidates to membership are shit hole countries that are not friendly. But this makes the genesis of BRICS no less valid, which is rooted in the event of August 15th, 1971, when Nixon closed the gold window. Since then the USD has lost over 95% of its purchasing power. Let this sink in, and while doing so know that this decline has happened in plain sight for the world to see. Know then that it would be more of a miracle if no country in the world tried to prepare for the collapse of USD hegemony. And know, too, that any such unilateral preparation would be met with destruction unless it were conducted with deft timing and with the safety of other partners.

    This said, I don’t deny for one nanosecond that the BRICS is not morphing into something other than its original monetary model. Nefarious utility seems possible with any movement. But to deny the basics of the arithmetic behind what is going on with our debt-based system, without acknowledging this point, I find distracting, to be diplomatic.

    Dispatch every Russian-rooted disinformation aggregator with extreme prejudice, please. This is a service we need. But unless this is also proven to be wheat, on a long enough timeline the survival rate for trust goes to zero. It’s a problem of our time shared by good people.

  6. Vice President Kamala Harris has close ties to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a radical organization whose executive director celebrated the October 7 Hamas terror attack on Israel.

    …

    The newspaper noted that Emhoff, the husband of Kamala Harris, was a partner at DLA Piper whose “lobbying clients” had included the governments of Afghanistan and Bahrain, as well as the Qatari government-funded Al Jazeera Network and the Palestine Monetary Authority.

    …

    CAIR participated in shaping the Biden administration’s so-called “antisemitism strategy,” which was led by Emhoff. CAIR’s contribution was to remove extreme criticism of Israel from the government’s definition of antisemitism.

  9. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced Friday that it had killed Mohammed al-Jabari, the deputy head of weapons manufacturing for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, an Iran-backed terror group fighting alongside Hamas.

    In a joint statement, the IDF and Israel Security Agency (ISA, or Shin Bet, or Shabak) said:

    During a targeted, intelligence-based operation, the IDF eliminated the terrorist Mohammed al-Jabari, who was deputy head of weapons manufacturing for the Islamic Jihad. Al-Jabari was responsible for financing weapons manufacturing infrastructure for the Islamic Jihad in northern Gaza, the distribution of salaries and funds, and was part of attempts to restore the Islamic Jihad’s rocket manufacturing capabilities and infrastructure.

    Prior to the strike, numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including the use of precise munitions, surveillance, and additional intelligence.

    Moreover, troops of the 162nd Division are continuing precise, intelligence-based operational activities in the area of Rafah. Over the past day, IDF troops eliminated approximately 30 terrorists during close-quarters encounters and in aerial strikes.

    • Personally, I think they are playing a game with him. Take him somewhere, let him go, and they bet on where he ends up.

      • It makes sense. Kamala didn’t try to contain him as she used to do. It’s her revenge for Biden not quitting the presidency.

    Dan Bongino: Whistleblowers Confirm Secret Service Is Hiding a Big Secret (VIDEO)

    Former Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino blew the lid off of the culture of corruption in the Secret Service.

    The Secret Service failed to protect President Trump last month during a Butler, Pennsylvania rally.

    A bullet grazed President Trump’s ear after the gunman, Thomas Crooks, somehow evaded state, local and federal agents, climbed on top of a roof and took 8 shots at Trump and rallygoers.

    Thomas Crooks was able to do the following on July 13:

    Flew a drone over the Pennsylvania fairgrounds and got aerial footage of the rally layout on the day of the event – including 2 hours before Trump took the stage.
    Got a range finder through security.
    Evaded law enforcement officers from several different state, local and federal agencies.
    Somehow ‘climbed’ up on a roof with his rifle 450 feet away from Trump, bear crawled to the perfect vantage point as bystanders alerted police and was still able to take 8 shots at Trump.
    Parked a vehicle full of explosives near the Trump rally
    Crooks was able to walk around the premises after Snipers took a photo of him looking suspicious.
    A sniper located in the second story window was only 40 feet away from Crooks and didn’t neutralize him.
    Trump was still able to take the stage after Crooks was pegged as suspicious by Secret Service.

    Bongino told a story about a time he and another Secret Service agent, who is now assigned to Trump’s detail, warned about a suspicious Russian woman who was hired at the US embassy in Moscow back in 2004.
