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.
On the crisis at the U.S. Federal Reserve leading up to Friday’s Jackson Hole meeting.
There is an ideological struggle going on. PT wants a lower USD to lead his agenda of repatriating manufacturing, among other reasons. Powell, purely Keynesian, sits at the controls of the U.S.S. Money with his hands on his two levers: interest rates and money supply.

Chairman of Al Arabiya’s editorial board:
Where did Iran’s Arab supporters disappear?
What has befallen Iran is no small matter; its military losses and nuclear facilities are immense, facilities that cost billions of dollars and much blood and sweat to build. To its ballistic and nuclear losses, we can add the loss of the popular current it had cultivated across the region, from Iraq to Morocco.
The collapse of Iranian influence is clear within Arab regions. When the Lebanese government took its bold decision to confiscate Hizbullah’s weapons, the response in the street was limited. In the wake of Iran’s defeat, a sense of shock and betrayal spread across the region, which had been waiting for the liberation of Palestine.
Iran once enjoyed dominance and popular support in the region. It managed to raise generations of Arabs on its ideas. Tehran opened its doors and arms to extremist Sunnis, including leaders of al-Qaeda, and supported most Sunni opposition groups against their governments. It built a deeply coordinated relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood. It climbed onto many Arab media outlets to promote Khamenei’s line.
Tehran was managing elite and grassroots movements in dozens of Arab cities. But in the recent wars, following the Oct. 2023 attacks, the kind of mobilization we were used to in every confrontation faded.
One reason is that people do not admire the defeated. The second is that the apparatuses that used to orchestrate these movements have lost their connections and their resources. The Arab street venerates the victorious hero until he falls, then replaces him with another hero.

Thank-you.
Very relevant for those of us with diseases adversely affected by natural sunlight. The author is not dogmatic, refreshing.
We take Vit. D supplements along with Omega-3 fish oil and magnesium. ONLY because our conditions indicate their use. Otherwise, NO WAY.
I’ve been skeptical about those who sell “natural” supplements and alternative remedies. Pushers fund “scientific research” for marketing purposes just like Big Pharma.
Joe Mercola was sued for pushing a “safe” sun machine for MS and SLE patients. Terrible harm, settled out of court. He put new labels on Chinese-sourced, contaminated supplements. Settled out of court.
When I was a child a Doctor told my parents to not give me any vitamins unless he told them to. You can get too much minerals and too many vitamins.
You lucked out. A rare doctor then or now.
I just learned that vitamin D3 is rat poison.
Not similar to, and not a derivative of, but the exact same molecule.
