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.
Interesting insights into the Trump-Carney relationship. It seems Carney leveraged Brookfield’s relationship with Jared Kushner to help install Carney as PM. The salient point is not that the Canadian legacy media is biased, but how it is neutralized to not do journalism on a selective basis. This important distinction silenced fact seeking by the huge media machine in order to enable the Canadian fascist state into being. Voilá:

Carney called the Truckers insurrectionists.
At the press conference, February 17, 2022 smirking Freeland told Canadians “The government is also directing al service providers to temporarily stop providing services to either personal or corporate accounts that are being used to further the “illegal blockades”.”
Then she had another presser regarding crowdfunding……..As part of the suite of financial measures, crowdfunding platforms must also now comply with Canada’s financial reporting rules under the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Center of Canada………It gives me no great pleasure ( I watched wondering why she was smirking) to impose any of these measures, in fact WE do so with great sorrow BUT do not doubt OUR determination to act to defend……
On that very same day the VARES report showed vaccine injuries at 1,103,893, 23,615 dead and 188,135 serious injuries. Historically VARES reporting is around 1%.
Justine, Freeland and Carney were accusing the patriotic truckers of insurrection FOR REFUSING THEIR MANDATES. They knew the numbers, they knew what they were doing.
Nothing else matters now, we are screwed.
Will Carney tax the planes that are distributing poison in our air?
When I first read the projections DARPA made at the Event 201 master plan, I could not bring myself to believe them. I could not imagine the utter madness, now I do.
We are screwed. There are far too many brainwashed amongst us.

“The balance of power is the scale of peace. The same balance would be preserved were all the world not destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside … Horrid mischief would ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them … the weak will become prey to the strong.” ~ Thomas Paine

“Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of citizens to keep and bear arms. This is not to say that firearms should not be very carefully used and that definite safety rules of precaution should not be taught and enforced. But the right of citizens to bear arms is just one more guarantee against arbitrary government, and one more safeguard against tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible.” ~ Hubert H. Humphrey

These percentages are 27 and 25 percent, respectively, if they passively comply with the felon’s demands. Three times as many were injured if they used other means of resistance.” ~ Gary Kleck

“Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game.” ~ Andy Rooney
“There’s no such thing as a good gun. There’s no such thing as a bad gun. A gun in the hands of a bad man is a very dangerous thing. A gun in the hands of a good person is no danger to anyone except the bad guys.” ~ Charlton Heston
“Never Forget, even for an instant, that the one and only reason anybody has for taking your gun away is to make you weaker than he is, so he can do something to you that you wouldn’t allow him to do if you were equipped to prevent it.

“In recent years it has been suggested that the Second Amendment protects the “collective” right of states to maintain militias, while it does not protect the right of “the people” to keep and bear arms… If anyone entertained this notion in the period during which the Constitution and Bill of Rights were debated and ratified, it remains one of the most closely guarded secrets of the 18th century, for no known writing surviving from the period between 1787 and 1791 states such a thesis.” ~ Stephen Halbrook
“The prohibition is general. No clause in the Constitution could by any rule of construction be conceived to give to Congress a power to disarm the people. Such a flagitious attempt could only be made under some general pretense by a state legislature. But if in any blind pursuit of inordinate power, either should attempt it, this amendment may be appealed to as a restraint on both.” ~ William Rawle
“If gun laws in fact worked, the sponsors of this type of legislation should have no difficulty drawing upon long lists of examples of criminal acts reduced by such legislation. That they cannot do so after a century and a half of trying – that they must sweep under the rug the southern attempts at gun control in the 1870-1910 period, the northeastern attempts in the 1920-1939 period, the attempts at both Federal and State levels in 1965-1976 – establishes the repeated, complete and inevitable failure of gun laws to control serious crime.” ~ Orrin Hatch
“The real issue behind these people who are gun grabbers, the truth is – based on fact – the reason why is, they want control. They want control of the people. That’s what socialism is and communism.” ~ Luke Scott
“The great body of our citizens shoot less as times goes on. We should encourage rifle practice among schoolboys, and indeed among all classes, as well as in the military services by every means in our power. Thus, and not otherwise, may we be able to assist in preserving peace in the world… The first step – in the direction of preparation to avert war if possible, and to be fit for war if it should come – is to teach men to shoot!” ~ Theodore Roosevelt
“Make no mistake – they’re coming for our guns. And we freedom-loving gun lovers are totally defenseless! Other than, you know, the guns.” ~ Stephen Colbert
“After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn’t do it.” ~ William S. Burroughs
“Gun control? It’s the best thing you can do for crooks and gangsters. I want you to have nothing. I’m a bad guy; I’m always gonna have a gun. Safety locks? You will pull the trigger with a lock on, and I’ll pull the trigger. We’ll see who wins.” ~ Sammy Gravano
“This house protected by an armed citizen. There is absolutely nothing here worth dying for.” ~ Patrick Henry
“The laws that forbid the carrying of arms…disarm only those who are
neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Can it be supposed that
those who have the courage to violate the most sacred laws of humanity…will
respect the less important and arbitrary ones… Such laws make things worse
for the assaulted and better for the assailants, they serve rather to
encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with
greater confidence than an armed man.” ~ Cesare Beccaria
“That the said Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press or the rights of conscience.” ~ John Adams
“A man’s rights rest in three boxes: the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box.” ~ Frederick Douglass

“Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” ~ Mao Zedong
“An unarmed man can only flee from evil, and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it.” ~ Jeff Cooper
“No Kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave.” ~ James Burgh
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. – Second Amendment to the Constitution An armed society is a polite society.” ~ Robert A. Heinlein
“I sympathize with people who want to ban guns, but I can’t agree with them. We have to be careful in our zeal to abolish guns that we don’t wind up with counter-productive legislation that will leave armed only the people most likely to do harm with them.” ~ Hugh Downs
“Intelligence is quickness in seeing things as they are.” ~ George Santayana
“Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.” ~ Alan Dundes

WAR ROOM: ‘If They Steal the Election in 2028, They Will Put Trump in Prison’ – With Coup d’Etat Updates from Brazil, France, Germany, South Korea, and the Vatican
On Saturday, May 3, Steve Bannon furnished his War Room audience with significant updates on the global Deep State.
First, Bannon emphasized his own recent bombshell interview with Catholic Archbishop Carlo Viganò.
During the interview, Archbishop Viganò presented “evidence of a coup d’état [that] would not be questioned by anyone.”
This alleged coup d’état, prompting Pope John Paul II’s resignation and Pope Francis’s subsequent rise to power in 2013, implicated the Obama Administration, the global Deep State, and the Vatican, according to Archbishop Viganò.

One of the most riveting interviews I’ve seen. Jordan Pedersen speaks with a Canadian female veteran who served in Afghanistan. She went through hell. I get the impression he listens to her and asks questions as he would a patient. Very good. This woman is quite something.
