Reader’s Links for April 8th, 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.

    smugglers include pangas, pleasure watercraft and even jet skis.

    “In many of the cases, people are forced to sell their properties, borrow money or go into debt to cover these costs,” Ríos, from American Friends Service Committee, said. “It is something unimaginable because not only people have the need to cross, but they also have to deal with the debt for not having that money.”

    One of the smugglers told investigators he agreed to captain the boat for about $10,000; the captain’s brother, who was helping, was to be paid $1,400 for each of the 14 migrants on board, or almost $20,000, according to the complaint. The brother said he previously conducted four successful smuggling operations.

    initially tried to outrun the Coast Guard ship, but the panga broke apart as he sped through choppy seas.

    Border Patrol agents conducting a routine patrol of Mission Bay stopped the first boat as it entered the jetty from open water after noticing four people dressed identically in white long-sleeve shirts, blue life jackets and matching hats,

      • Sorry, I didn’t notice and I’m not even a member. It was open when I saw it. As I say, China has choices: give in to PT, raise its own tariffs, or devalue its currency and pretend its stock market isn’t crashing by injecting trillions into it. Bracing stuff.
