Reader’s Links for Sept. 4, 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.

(The Chaos has started, we can expect it to get much worse during the last of this year and really get bad after Trump is elected and sworn in, the idea is to make things so bad the people will accept the loss of their liberty in exchange for a strong man Dictator who will crush the gangs committing the violence. The problem is that a lot of the people being violent will be brought into the Government to crack down on the political opponents of the left.)

    UPDATE: At least two people are reportedly confirmed dead with four injured.

    An active shooter situation at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, about 40 miles northeast of Atlanta, left two dead and several injured on Wednesday morning.

    The school was placed on a hard lockdown, which was suspended at approximately 11:30 am, according to reports. Per the New York Post, “At least one person is dead and a suspect is in custody after authorities responded to a report of an active shooter at a northern Georgia high school on Wednesday.”

    With the recent revelations in Nashville transgender shooter Audrey Hale’s manifesto, hopefully, the country will have a renewed focus on the mental illnesses involved in violent acts like this and the effects of psychiatric drugs as “treatment.” As The Gateway Pundit reported, Hale, 28, had two decades as a psychiatric patient at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center with at least five mental illness diagnoses and was treated with numerous drugs that could be responsible for the shooter’s deadly thoughts. And the FBI’s Behavioral Threat Assessment Center is withholding these medical records from the public:

    Report: Billions in Funding at Risk If Audrey Hale’s Mental Health Records Are Released to Public

    Still, leftist politicians and their media hacks will perpetuate the narrative that guns are responsible for deranged homicidal ideations while continuing to pour billions of dollars into mental health treatments and drugs. It is currently unknown what role mental illness and drugs played in the Georgia shooter’s actions.

    The FBI issued a statement on this shooting, saying, “FBI Atlanta is aware of the current situation at Apalachee High School in Barrow County. Our agents are on scene coordinating with and supporting local law enforcement,” per Fox Atlanta.

    Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) responded to the news asking America to join her in praying for all students and staff.

    Please join me in prayer for all the students, staff, and families at Apalachee High School in Winder, Ga.

    There has been a school shooting and reports of multiple injuries are being reported.

    Georgia Governor Brian Kemp also issued a statement on X:

    We will continue to work with local, state, and federal partners as we gather information and further respond to this situation. (2/2)

    Fox 5 Atlanta reports,

    SkyFOX 5 flew over the scene and emergency responders could be seen treating people at the school. At least two people were observed being put into helicopters to be flown to hospitals for treatment. Dozens of law enforcement officers and ambulances were also observed outside the school.

    Grady Memorial Hospital confirmed at 12:20 p.m. they had received one gunshot victim from the school. No other information was released.

    Shortly before 11:30 a.m., the school told FOX News that the school had been cleared and students are being released to their families. Students may be picked up from the school. Buses will also run for students needing transportation to their homes. The school says it will share more information as soon as it can.

    According to U.S. News & World Report, there are approximately 1,900 students enrolled at the school. It is one of two high schools in the Barrow County Public Schools district

  9. DEVELOPING: US Service Member Detained in Venezuela

    A US service member has been detained in Caracas, Venezuela, according to CNN.

    The State Department has advised Americans against traveling to Venezuela.

    “Do not travel to Venezuela due to?crime, civil unrest, kidnapping,?and the?arbitrary enforcement of local laws.?Reconsider travel due to?wrongful detentions,?terrorism,?and?poor health infrastructure.” the US Department of State warned.

    “Violent crimes, such as homicide, armed robbery, kidnapping, and carjacking, are common in Venezuela. Political rallies and demonstrations occur, often with little notice. Anti-Maduro demonstrations have elicited a strong police and security force response, including the use of tear gas, pepper spray, and rubber bullets against participants, and occasionally devolve into looting and vandalism. Shortages of gasoline, electricity, water, medicine, and medical supplies continue throughout much of Venezuela.” the US government warned.

    “Security forces have detained U.S. citizens for up to five years,” the travel advisory for Venezuela said. “The U.S. government is not generally notified of the detention of U.S. citizens in Venezuela or granted access to U.S. citizen prisoners there.”

    The US government seized Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro’s plane over the weekend.

    CNN reported:

    A US service member has been detained in Venezuela, according to four US officials familiar with the matter.

    The service member is a US citizen and was detained on August 30 in Caracas, according to the officials. One of the officials said he is being held by the Venezuelan intelligence agency SEBIN.

    Another official said the service member was not on official travel or approved leave when he traveled to the country. It is not clear why he traveled there.

    The State Department advises Americans against traveling to Venezuela, warning that “there is a high risk of wrongful detention of U.S. nationals.”

    This comes as Venezuelan gang members are taking over apartment complexes in the US and demanding rent payments at gunpoint.

  12. As reported by Blacklock’s Reporter, Cabinet has abruptly scrubbed dozens of Government of Canada web pages detailing more than 24 BILLION, yes 24 BILLION in payments to Covid contractors.
