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. Mark Carney’s fan club — crazy Environment Minister, Guillbeault, Greta, OAC…..lotta, lotta climate crisis loons

    Liz Truss, former Prime Minister of Britain is NO fan.
    “I strongly recommend not backing Mark Carney for his policies on net zero. It was a disaster for Britain, it would be a disaster for Canada.

    While Mark Carney was the Governor of the Bank of England, and under his tenure, too much money was printed, which did damage to the British economy and put our economy off track.

    He at the last election, endorsed Rachel Reed’s economic policy. She’s now become Chancellor. It’s been a disaster for Britain. The country is heading for bankruptcy, so I would strongly recommend not backing Mark Carney or his policies on net zero, which has been disastrous for Britain and will be disastrous for Canada.

    He has pushed net zero, which has been a disaster, not just for Britain, but for many countries across the world.”

    Conrad Black is no fan of Carney
    “Carney is not an outsider, he’s a dyed-in-the-wool liberal like Trudeau.

    Mark Carney is a tired tribune of failed attitudes and misdirected political reflexes, a leftist reactionary still spouting the woke untra-green nonsense that has done such terrible damage to the West since the Cold War. Whatever his virtues, he is absolutely not what this country now needs as Prime Minister”.

  6. Suspects threatened to strangle and break victim in two prior to Apeldoorn honor killing

    The four men who are suspected of murdering a 28-year-old woman in Apeldoorn in an honor killing sent each other shocking audio messages and chats about the victim, named Roshin. This was released to the public during the first day of their court hearing in Arnhem.

    “She deserves to be thrown away in two pieces,” one of the 27-year-old cousins allegedly sent in a message. He allegedly also sent a message to the victim’s youngest brother, who is also a suspect, that if she is not killed, she will be “handicapped.”
    The woman was walking on the Casper Fagelstraat in Apeldoorn when she was attacked from behind and stabbed 28 times in her upper body, throat, and head, according to the Public Prosecution Service (OM). Her three-year-old daughter saw the murder and held her mother’s hand during the first stabbing to the throat. She was physically unharmed.

    Peshang A. (36) is the main suspect. He is the victim’s brother and is currently living in Denmark. He was arrested instantly after the stabbing when he became concerned about his niece and confessed to the murder.
    He felt that she did not behave in an appropriate manner, he said on his way to the police station. He had used cocaine. “I was out of my mind,” he told the court. The fellow suspects are his brother (28) and two cousins from Germany. One of them, Ahmad A. (37) is also the victim’s ex-partner.

    The family accused the victim of “indecent behavior” after her divorce and wanted her to return to live with her parents in The Hague, according to tradition. However, Roshin wanted to continue to live in Apeldoorn with her daughter and was in a new relationship. “If the girl was not here, I would have strangled you,” a message from her 27-year-old brother read.

    The case will continue on Thursday. The Public Prosecution Service’s argument will follow on this day. This will culminate in the sentencing recommendations. The lawyers will hold their arguments on Monday, January 27. The court will make its ruling on February 20.

  7. Eritrean asylum seekers trafficked, abused, extorted by network operating in Netherlands

    A group of Eritrean human traffickers, who partly operated from the Netherlands, committed large-scale human trafficking, violence, and other atrocities against asylum seekers from Eritrea, according to a study by the National Rapporteur on Human Trafficking. Asylum seekers were locked up in warehouses, starved, extorted, beaten up, sold, or left behind in the desert to die, the investigation shows, NOS reports.

    Rapporteur Conny Rijken based the investigation on 124 witness statements in an international criminal investigation by the Dutch Public Prosecution Service (OM) into this criminal organization. In almost all cases, the witnesses were Eritrean asylum seekers who paid smugglers to bring them to the Netherlands. Instead, they became victims of human trafficking in Libya.
    The victims fled their country looking for prospects for the future, Rijken said. They mostly had to use smugglers because they did not have the documents needed to travel legally. The human traffickers took them to Libya, where they locked them up in warehouses with too many people in too small a space and with no sanitary facilities. The traffickers subjected the victims to physical and verbal violence, gave them little food and drink, and forced the victims to call family members to transfer more money.

    “Some victims were beaten with garden hoses. These hoses were made wet, which is more painful. Some witnesses state that people were injured and left behind in the desert to die,” Rijken said. It is unknown how many people died.
    Some victims had to perform work in the warehouses for the traffickers, ranging from preparing food to abusing other asylum seekers. Many were abducted or sold during their stay in Libya, sometimes multiple times, after which they had to pay again for their release.

    The OM suspects seven men of operating this human trafficking network. The two main suspects ran reception camps in Libya – Walid, who is currently on trial in the Netherlands, and Kidane, who will soon be extradited by the United Arab Emirates, the OM told NOS. The other five are suspected of organizing extortion and money flows in the Netherlands. Many of the victims already had family in the Netherlands and the suspects visited them at home to extort money from them.
