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.

President Joe Biden is reportedly considering commuting the sentences of men on the federal death row list, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal.
People “familiar with the matter” reportedly told the outlet that Biden is reportedly “considering commuting” the sentences of “most, if not all” of the 40 men who are currently on the death row list.
Fox News’s Bill Melugin wrote in a post on X that “Charleston church mass shooter Dylan Roof and Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev are both on federal death row,” in response to reports that Biden is considering commuting the sentences of death row inmates.

We’re in a place of trial, we have no alternative but to fight for our survival. Positive thinking is essential because it’ll take faith and blood for the foreseeable future.
