Reader’s Links for July 6th, 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. The comments on this fall into supportive and derisive. The latter includes blaming Israel, minimizing the harm, and disbelief. It would have been nice to see the source for the savior account. The arson/attempted murder at an Aussie synagogue is in the news.

    Inside, a 13-year-old Jewish boy happened to be in the synagogue office. Hearing the bell, he checked the security monitors. Not recognizing the man, the boy made a life-saving decision: he didn’t open the door.
    The attacker rang the bell a second time, then left the lit petrol bomb at the base of the entrance and casually walked away.

  4. My phone rang twice yesterday. Two different friends, one common subject.

    First, Bert called. He was excited to recount his family gathering the night before. He had essentially been exiled in recent years for his stance on numerous topics, but mostly it was about the Covid injections. Bert had refused to get it while his family members had become drunk on the Kool-Aid narrative. Perhaps, he said, they had finally sobered up because of the injuries they had suffered, and also because they simply could no longer defend what had become an obviously-bad purchase.

    Bert felt exhilarated, and exhonerated, to be welcomed back into the loving bosom of his family. He had survived his exile, and was tough enough to continue with it, but this was so much better, he said. “Everyone wanted to hear what I had to say…”.

    He went on to describe a conversation he had at the gathering with a doctor. She said the detrimental effects of the injections was common knowledge among the medical community. It was an open secret.

    Have you heard the sound of silence? Apologies in advance for this, but it is not off topic. It is precisely on topic.

    Shortly after that telephone conversation I got a call from Bobby Larkin. Bob’s wife spun out with Bi-Polar One just as the injections were ramping up. It was really bad, he said. The cops got involved five or six times. It’s a funny feeling, said Bob, when you report your wife missing and it dawns on you that the policeman standing in front of you, asking you questions, is sizing you up to see if you are a murderer. You don’t forget stuff like that, he said.

    After they found his wife they took her to the psychiatric ward of the local hospital. Form One was used to keep her for 72-hour observation, and another Form was used to extend her stay.

    While there she was given at least one Covid injection. Therein lies the rub, said Bob. How could his wife have provided informed consent to the doctor or nurse who gave the shot? How, indeed, if she was deemed legally unsound of body and mind?

    Shortly after, Bob said, his wife went on to get breast cancer. The explosion of aggressive cancers since the public was carpet bombed with these experimental injections is not lost on the medical establishment or on the statisticians. Unlike Bert’s experience, the sound of silence continued for Bob. He was angry that no one was ever held accountable. Forget about the cancer, he said. “I can’t prove that now. But how about what that hospital did?”

    “Given her circumstance, she could not have possibly provided informed consent,” he said. “Should I sue the hospital?” he asked me. “Am I just a troublemaker if I do? But this horrible hiding what the government did, and what the hospitals did to millions of people, should be blown wide open. We need accountability!”

    He was also angry at the way the family court system subsequently treated him during their divorce. “Everything has been so unfair,” he said. “I know life is unfair, but me and the kids have been nothing but ping-pong balls in two ordeals with government. Hell may have no fury like a woman scorned, but how about that quiet, patient, angry man?”

    Today is Sunday. I hope my phone doesn’t ring.

  9. Hamas security officer says group has lost control over most of Gaza
    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gk79xlzwjo
    A senior officer in Hamas’s security forces has told the BBC the Palestinian armed group has lost about 80% of its control over the Gaza Strip and that armed clans are filling the void.
    The lieutenant colonel said Hamas’s command and control system had collapsed due to months of Israeli strikes that have devastated the group’s political, military and security leadership.
    [..]
    “People looted the most powerful Hamas security apparatus (Ansar), the complex which Hamas used to rule Gaza.
    “They looted everything, the offices – mattresses, even zinc panels – and no-one intervened. No police, no security.”
    [..]
    The officer said a consequence of the security vacuum was gangs or armed clans were “everywhere”.
    “They could stop you, kill you. No one would intervene. Anyone who tried to act on their own, like organising resistance against thieves, was bombed by Israel within half an hour.
    [..]
    In this vacuum, six armed groups affiliated with powerful local clans have emerged as serious contenders to fill the void, according to the officer.
    These groups have access to money, weapons and men, and are active across all of Gaza, but mostly in the south.
    One of them is led by Yasser Abu Shabab, a figure who has attracted attention from the Palestinian Authority, which is based in the occupied West Bank and is a rival to Hamas, as well as regional players – particularly after Israel confirmed last month that it was supplying him with weapons.
    The officer confirmed that Hamas had placed a large bounty on Abu Shabab’s head, fearing he could become a unifying figure for its many enemies.
    [..]
    “For 17 years, Hamas made enemies everywhere. If someone like Abu Shabab can rally those forces, that could be the beginning of the end for us.”
    As Gaza is plunged further into lawlessness, with entire neighbourhoods descending into gang rule, Hamas finds itself not just under Israeli fire but increasingly surrounded by rivals from within.

  10. Threats or nuisance? After years of cooperation, some Gaza clans rise up against Hamas
    https://www.timesofisrael.com/threats-or-nuisance-after-years-of-cooperation-some-gaza-clans-rise-up-against-hamas/
    A powerful Gaza family exchanged fire with Hamas last week at a major hospital in Khan Younis, in a conflict that ended with burned vehicles and destroyed equipment.
    Hamas and the Barbakh clan blamed each other for the fight at Nasser Hospital: While Hamas claims it acted against a Barbakh relative who had stolen aid — and blamed the clan for damaging the hospital — anti-Hamas media outlets allege that Hamas operatives took refuge inside Nasser after murdering a clan member.
    [..]
    The family is not alone: For the first time in nearly two decades of Hamas rule in Gaza, large, heavily armed clans are openly defying the terror group, through both public statements and armed confrontations.
    [..]
    Israel has suggested that the clans could supplant Hamas rule in Gaza, but this is not necessarily a positive prospect: Even as they’ve begun to publicly counter Hamas, the families have continued to harshly criticize Israel and distance themselves from it.
    [..]
    Much of the recent friction revolves around aid distribution — a fraught issue across the Strip.
    As Hamas, Israel and other parties have competed over control of a limited supply of humanitarian assistance, footage and eyewitnesses from Gaza suggest that armed clans are becoming more involved in securing the aid — and, perhaps, stealing it.
    [..]
    “Some of the aid coming in today is being secured by large families,” said a resident of northern Gaza who spoke to The Times of Israel and asked to remain anonymous.
    He described the clans as a “reliable force,” adding, “They protected aid and prevented looting of the humanitarian shipments coming into Gaza.”
    But the clans’ involvement in aid distribution has also brought bloodshed. A recent video posted from Gaza shows the Abu Ziyad clan accusing Hamas of killing a relative who tried to stop the terror group from stealing humanitarian aid.
    [..]
    The families are able to both secure aid and fight Hamas because, footage indicates, their members increasingly carry light firearms.
    Where these guns came from is unclear. It’s possible that some have trickled down — intentionally or not — from Hamas, which has spent the better part of two decades amassing significant weapon stockpiles through purchases, smuggling, and local manufacturing.
    [..]
    Some reports indicate that clans have used their position to steal aid meant for UN-affiliated humanitarian organizations operating in Gaza. A confidential UN memo obtained by The Washington Post in November 2024 identified Yasser Abu Shabab, a clan leader who has since cooperated with Israel, as “the principal and most influential figure behind the systematic and large-scale looting of aid convoys.”
    [..]
    Hamas has also continued to wage a media campaign against dissenting clans — and claims that it retains the families’ support. After the same armed confrontation with the Barbakh family at Nasser Hospital in which the family condemned Hamas, the terror group released a statement through its affiliated media that, it claimed, was made on behalf of the Barbakh clan whose members had just shot at its operatives.
    “We, the Barbakh family, do not accept such individual actions,” the falsified statement said. It went on to demand punishment for the offenders, and to “call on the relevant authorities to act firmly and legally.”

  11. A May post by J.E. Dyer is getting a lot of popular attention. The “other forum” she mentions consists mainly of allied multinational military professionals, both active and retired. Her optimism is unique; indeed, it can only be heaven sent.

    Trumpschlacht debuts with vivid energy
    Trump plays his own game.

    • FTA:

      Witkoff makes alarming noises every time he opens his mouth, but they don’t turn into disaster for Israel. The reason is that Trump never signals a willingness to force Israel to compromise itself into disaster.
      …
      I wouldn’t do everything the way Trump does (just call Witkoff Agent 86 and excuse him from the diplomatic drama, though of course not from life itself), but Trump isn’t driving the Titanic into the iceberg.
      ……. ……. …….

      I don’t expect to change minds on this, but there are real reasons to not read Trump’s current diplomacy as a gigantic, weak-hand sellout to Qatar. He’s resetting conditions so that nothing means the same thing it meant under Biden or Obama. His objective is to hem in Iran and weaken the regime’s will decisively.
