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.

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.

  5. Iranian man who raped girl, 13, in an alleyway is jailed for just SEVEN years – because the judge didn’t think he was a ‘dangerous person’

    The shadow home secretary has branded a seven-year jail term for an Iranian who raped a 13-year-old schoolgirl in an alleyway a ‘disgrace.’
    The judge who sentenced Sorosh Amini, 21, said he did not consider the rapist to be a ‘dangerous person.’
    And he concluded that the terrified victim did not suffer ‘severe’ psychological harm.
    Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp, who was also policing minister under the previous Government, told the Sun: ‘Amini violently attacked a 13-year old girl in broad daylight in Croydon town centre.
    ‘For the judge to give a lower sentence because she “allegedly didn’t suffer severe trauma as a result” is a disgrace.’
    Amini approached the girl outside the Whitgift shopping centre in Croydon, south London, on August 4 last year, following her and repeatedly trying to engage her in conversation.
    He tried to make her smoke cannabis with him, told her his friend had recently stabbed someone in the area, put his arm round her then led her down an alleyway.
    The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said she thought he may have been carrying a knife, adding: ‘He had his hand on my face.
    ‘He held me and his grip was really, really strong and I couldn’t get away.
    ‘But he held me from my back and my waist and he held me there. And so, obviously, I couldn’t even stop it.’
    Amini then forced the girl to kiss him before raping her in the alleyway.
    He was convicted of rape and sexual assault at Croydon Crown Court in June.
    The Scotland Yard officer who led the investigation, detective inspector Donnett Oseni, described Amini as a ‘dangerous sexual offender.’
    ‘Amini’s attack on this vulnerable girl was predatory and calculated,’ she said.
    ‘He has demonstrated himself to be a dangerous sexual offender and this sentence prevents him from harming anyone else.’
    But the judge who sentenced him, Judge Antony Hyams-Parish, disagreed.
