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.
Whip says he wants to be a dentist. Néné wants to be a chicken farmer when he grows up. This they told me one morning while I was having my coffee. “Have you ever seen a chicken?” I asked Néné when he said this.
“No,” he answered, “but I think of them all the time.”
Whip and Néné are our pet rats. At first I didn’t like the idea of having rats, but they grew on me. They are brothers. Whip is a dirty white, Néné is black. They play and sleep in their cage that looks out over their limited world. Their biggest days are when my son moves their cage out to the back porch on a warm day. The backyard offers them a glimpse into a universe so chaotic with sunshine and trees and birds and wonder–all things they do not understand–that they are grateful for the protection their little home provides. They are captured but just don’t know it.
Fewer than one percent of the population of the Western world own physical precious metals. This means that over ninety-nine percent of the population are, monetarily, cage bound. And see? Bezmenov was correct when he conveyed to us the Soviet understanding that all they needed were a couple of generations of brainwashing to erase cultural orthodoxies. In this case we have the Keynesian mentacide that teaches us debt is money.
I remember speaking once with a woman at a social gathering. She was a forensic accountant. She told me she understood, theoretically, that gold and silver were money, yet it was too great a leap of faith for her to give up her fiat paper in exchange for a piece of metal. Similarly to the pandemic injections, clarity of vision is not necessarily related to intelligence. Something deeper and perhaps emotional kicks in when we are confronted by chaos.
In my mind I responded to what this woman said by imagining I was in ancient Rome, or somewhere in the middle ages, and I was offering a piece of paper to a farmer in exchange for a chicken. The farmer would stare at me like I was crazy.
Unless he is followed by an Austrian economist with great fortitude, the buck literally stops with Trump. He and his administration are telling us so, but cryptically.
Control of yields on longer-term government bonds is essentially lost because foreigners no longer want U.S. debt. Short-term paper is manageable. Janet Yellen held that tiger by the tail. The 10-year yield is the one to watch. A yield rise beyond five-percent accelerates the process already in motion. Till now, governments bailed out the banks. Now, who bails out debt-saturated government?
This now-inevitable dynamic is called the monetary reset. All the noise surrounding the Trump administration with tariffs, or renaming the Gulf of America, or buying Greenland, or annexing Canada, is about preparing and positioning for the new architecture that is being built as you read this. You need not believe me, but you must ask yourself why so many central banks in the world are buying gold as quickly as they can afford to do so. This is the smart, informed money. Only those nations in the process of falling into a neoMarxist abyss, such as Canada, are not positioning themselves. Yes, I worry about Canada a great deal, but in what is quintessentially a mathematical problem most of the political floxam and jetsam gets washed away in such times.
Maps are redrawn. This is why PT plays with the map the way he does. He is telling us in code what we need to know. What we need to know is that the world is changing, and is about to change much more.
Whip makes fun of Néné for wanting to be a chicken farmer. I tell him he can be anything he wants to be when he grows up.
When President Trump says what sounds like crazy things, listen carefully. He isn’t crazy at all. He is putting us out on the porch.

Dear Abbey:
If I take my dog to the park and he sniffs the balls of the trans woman walking that miniature poodle over there, is my dog wrong?
Thanks,
Confused
Abbey:
Dear Confused,
No, your dog is not in the wrong. However, this is evidence that your pooch is off-leash dialectically. Depending on your country the punishments range from a hearty guffaw–such as in Serbia–to imprisonment in more progressive jurisdictions. Hope this helps!
The sky is a bright silver colour this morning, can’t even see the bay.
The rain in …….falls mainly from the plane.
IF “they” are not harming peoplekind while spraying our skies, why are the pesticide companies asking for liability protection similar to the drug companies vaccine protection?
One possible explanation is companies that make glysophate and other compounds that kill plants and insects are coming under increased scrutiny from Kennedy’s agency.
And they know it causes harm, or they know that harm will be found.
So they want protection.
Does it seem odd to anyone that samples of dead bees were sent to a Canadian lab and the results did not find glysophate, and samples sent to 3 different U.S. labs found glysophate?
Two videos of a robbery of an arab jewellery store in Gelsenkirchen, germany. The 3 robbers are allegedly from the Netherlands, but clearly of arabic descent. One of them is wearing a hijab, the door is opened form her (him?), he lets the other two in.
One of them gets jumped and pummeled with an iron bar, police doesn’t seem in a hurry to end it. A joy to watch:

Free-Palestine activists attack boat at the gay pride in Amsterdam:
Police arrest five Pro-Palestinian protesters at Canal Parade in Amsterdam
https://nltimes.nl/2025/08/02/police-arrest-five-pro-palestinian-protesters-canal-parade-amsterdam
Police arrested five activists Saturday near Prins Hendrikkade in Amsterdam for disrupting the Booking.com float during the annual Canal Parade, part of Pride Amsterdam. The demonstrators, affiliated with XR Justice Now!, a branch of Extinction Rebellion, targeted the float over the company’s alleged business ties to Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territories. Booking.com is one of the official sponsors of this year’s Canal Parade.
Two protesters were taken into custody for disturbing public order after jumping into the canal in front of the Booking.com float. Another two were arrested for possession and use of fireworks—one lit a flare, and the other ignited a smoke bomb, according to a police spokesperson confirming earlier reports from AT5. A fifth demonstrator was arrested for vandalism after spraying graffiti on the float from the water.
“Booking.com = blood money. Free Palestine,” read a banner hung from a nearby bridge as part of the coordinated protest. Activists at three separate locations along the parade route reportedly attempted to block the float and displayed large banners with slogans such as “No Pride in Apartheid,” “Booking.com = Bloodmoney Free Palestine,” and “Booking.com ruins our pride.”
Police confirmed the arrest of five individuals in total in connection to the actions against the float. It remains unclear whether the three activists not identified as part of XR Justice Now! were affiliated with other groups.
Separately, police arrested a man on the Herengracht for public violence after he threw bottles during the event.
