Reader’s Links for January 1, 2025

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.

  5. I recall Yucki saying this guy is a Russian mouthpiece, but he says things here that make sense and that I haven’t heard elsewhere. Namely, how the EU is slowly trying to turn domestic opinion against Orban, it has its man in place (Peter Magyar), by shutting down the gas supply wreaking economic havoc etc. I also have not heard about Hungary and Slovakia’s alternative gas supply may come via Turkey.

    • Russians usually make sense.
      That’s part of why their psywar tactics are so effective. They’ll use different approaches for different target populations, but they’re keen on making arguments convincing to each specific market segment.

  8. Yucki, I went to a small gathering last night. One guest was pushing this site on me. Your opinion would be appreciated. (I have many thoughts, but it is not my field.)

      Total enemy: InfluenceWatch

      Ron Unz is a financially successful former investment industry and software entrepreneur. Since 2013, he has been the publisher of the Unz Review, a website notable for spreading anti-Semitism and conspiracy theories, especially about U.S. policies related to Israel and the Middle East. Unz Review writers, including Unz himself, have denied the Holocaust, made unsupported smears of lynching victim Emmett Till, and praised the infamous anti-Semitic tract Protocols of the Elders of Zion. 1

        • What kind of person pushes a site like that? There are other horrid outlets, some of the worst coming out of Canada, but the one you mentioned is notorious. I don’t even want to write the name, it’s that compromising.

    • You can trawl the garbage today with the supportive community at the Elder’s site.

      A guest contributor posted a piece today about another autoimmune cancer that’s plagued our gene pool for millennia. She’s posted (mercifully) short snippets of an interview with Middle East Eye, another al-Jaz franchise.

      What this POS says is taken as absolute truth by those who seek our destruction. Weak and obsessed [redacted] like Pedo-Scott Ritter sing from the same hymnal.

      As well as those who simply love to marinate in “unimpeachable” bias confirmation.

      For another market segment it’s straight porn: they consume the most graphic descriptions of atrocities because they become aroused. Quite literally. That’s most prevalent in the tardish world, but it’s an index of the degree of debasement elsewhere.

      That’s part of the reason I’ve always been against Holocaust Ed. You’ll find an extraordinary number of public masturbators in Holocaust museums everywhere.

  9. Democrat-run New York City will enforce its much-debated plan to charge drivers to enter the center of Manhattan from Sunday, following years of bureaucratic and legal arm wrestling.

    The goals of what is known as “congestion pricing” are to reduce gridlock and pollution and raise revenue for public transit. It begins seconds past midnight on Jan. 5th.

    Critics, however, see it a cash grab imposed on drivers using roadways they have already payed for through their taxes and rates.

    Please consider: how long do you think it will be before the triple vectors or CO2 emissions, congestion and ‘car violence’ are used to make private car ownership more and more inaccessible, forcing people onto government owned or regulated public systems which use biometrics to id all who travel and just, lots of bad things.

    Because mobility is essential, along with communications, for people to form non-government controlled communities…

    This will be followed by slowly but firmly eliminating single family dwellings through various means, thus further eroding privacy and attacking nuclear families.

    • The lefts goal is 15 minute cities, a variation on the arcologies of the 1980s leftist dreams, everything you want in the one really big building so most people wouldn’t have to ever leave their house.

      I haven’t heard much about the arcologies for several decades but it looks like the idea has mutated.

      • After the ‘Great Patriotic War’ the Russian housing shortage was critical. Building styles and appurtenances took on the character of each Leader – Stalinkas, Khrushchevkas, Brezhnevkas – but they were all massive anthills that concentrated people near local work and shops. Easily surveilled, easily controlled.

        They were solid, resistant to natural disasters, many with independent energy provisions. They could (and can) withstand bombs better than anything built before or after. Basements were solid enough to serve as bomb shelters and munitions storage sites.

        If you follow the current war in Ukraine, you can see how they stand up while to their contemporary counterparts crumble.

  11. New York Subway fire victim’s first photo revealed: Debrina Kawam was known for ‘million-dollar’ smile

    https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/new-york-subway-fire-victims-first-photo-revealed-debrina-kawam-was-known-for-million-dollar-smile/articleshow/116861709.cms

    Around 10 days after the woman was set on fire in a bone-chilling incident on the New York Subway, Debrina Kawam was identified through fingerprints and DNA sampling as not much of her remains were left to establish her identity. The woman was a homeless person who took shelter inside the subway train to save herself from the biting cold outside only to be set on fire by illegal Guatemalan migrant Sebastian Zapeta-Calil who did not even remember the moment he set the woman on fire out of intoxication. The world could not see a photo of Debrina apart from the shocking footage of her standing helplessly in the fire. And now an old high school yearbook photo of the 57-year-old woman surfaced.

  15. Extra self-congratulatory, but listen to stuff international media ignores.
    It’s a fact: dashing to the bomb shelters is tough. I’ve heard firsthand of broken legs, panic attacks, heart attacks and strokes.
