Reader’s Links for July 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.

  1. DOGE is DEAD?

    The Big Beautiful Bill will raise the debt ceiling by 5 trillion dollars. Politicians spend taxpayer money. Can PT spend to prosperity without avoiding the debt/death spiral? Mathematical certainties are a bitch.

    Precious metals this morning are smelling the BBB will pass. They are up on the potential currency debasement the Bill will accelerate. BUT, PT knows the debt can and must be dealt with by a debased dollar, not default. So it is theater on a sense. Musk knew this.

    • My understanding is that this bill is to avoid another continuing spending resolution, they want to do this so they can start cutting spending on the follow up bills. I don’t know what arcane rule says this but the Dems have been in control for decades so who knows how they have screwed things.

      All we can do is trust the Lord that things are going to work out and work hard to defeat the Moslems and the Marxists.

      • The article (which is very good, btw) links to this video:

        A new dawn in the Middle East?

        The United States has struck the Iranian nuclear program, marking a watershed moment for the region.

        It will take days to determine the scale of the damage and many years to understand the implications of President Trump’s decision. But a few things are already clear. A new relationship was established between the US and its ally Israel that defined a new security architecture for the American-led alliance worldwide.

        Israel did the heavy lifting, suffered the blowback, and only because it was willing to fight successfully itself was then able to call on America’s unique capabilities.

        Taiwan, take note. Russia’s European neighbors, ditto. Be ready and able to fight, and America will help. But America will no longer fight for you as in the past.

  4. David Horovitz is horrid, making Times of Isr a proto-Haaretz, where he was a senior editor before helping to create ToI.

    That said, I have to recommend his review of the Iran op. It’s just that good.
    (Archive version, why give it a click?)

    Israel was facing destruction at the hands of Iran. This is how close it came, and how it saved itself
    Iran was a decision and a few weeks away from nuclear weapons. But unlike Gaza 2023, Israel had been watching

  5. WSJ:
    How Israel Killed Iran’s Top Nuclear Scientists

    When Israel’s attacks on Iran began before dawn on June 13, nine of Iran’s top scientists who had worked for decades on Tehran’s nuclear program were killed in near-simultaneous attacks, according to people familiar with the attacks.

    11 days later, hours before a ceasefire took effect, an attack in northern Iran killed another scientist, Sayyed Seddighi Saber, who was sanctioned just weeks ago by the U.S. for his nuclear weapons-related work.

    The killings were the culmination of 15 years of efforts to wipe out the top cadre of scientists who worked on Iran’s secret nuclear weapons program.

    Most of the people killed had hands-on experience in testing and building components of a warhead, like the detonation systems, high explosives and the neutron sources that trigger the chain reaction.

    • Did they all buy their clipboards and pocket protectors from the Mossad Nerdlinger store by any chance?

      • Could be…

        In previous incarnation the consultancy I worked for had a subcontract from a U.S. agency to evaluate international tech transfer – uh – blunders screening and outcomes.

        I interviewed professors who had taught nuclear physics to Iranian students shortly before the overthrow of the Shah. Those who returned to the IRI became WMD personified.

  6. Europe slams Israel, then buys its weapons
    Governments are navigating a fine line, condemning Israel in public while embracing its capabilities in private.
    …
    This paradox is more than political optics. It reflects a deeper tension between public posturing and strategic necessity. As global threats rise and European security structures face increasing strain, especially along NATO’s eastern flank, many capitals have come to depend on the capabilities developed by Israel, not through theory or simulation, but through sustained operational experience.
    …
    Yet, despite this growing appeal, much of Europe’s defense engagement with Israel remains discreet. At defense expos, Israeli firms may be present but not prominently featured. Strategic dialogues unfold quietly. Procurement decisions are pursued with minimal publicity. It is a calculated posture: benefit from Israeli know-how, while minimizing public association amid political sensitivities.

    This contradiction has sharpened in recent months. The war in Gaza has inflamed European public opinion, prompting calls for sanctions and reevaluation of bilateral ties. Still, behind the scenes, defense cooperation continues. Governments are navigating a fine line, condemning Israel in public while embracing its capabilities in private.
