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.

This analyst with a proven track record lays out a timeline for precious metals to finish their consolidation and turn up. He rationalizes that expected rate cuts by the Fed will result in real negative interest rates (posted rate minus real inflation=negative real rate). This forces investors out of bonds and t-bills and into metals.

It all began when some nobody had his bank account frozen. The year was 2030 and, finally, the much-expected CBDCs were being rolled out en masse throughout the West.
Through a series of coincidences and luck, this one man’s plight found attention countrywide. Crowds began to gather on Parliament Hill. Soon the wildfire of reaction took hold, and suddenly everyone knew that everyone knew.
The first cellular phone being tossed into the eternal flame was caught on video and went viral. Shortly thereafter the phenomenon of people discarding their mobile telephones was worldwide.
The problem is: even though you can defend your purchase I will be damned if I will allow you to force me to defend your purchase, too.
Thank you Johnny. I shall read it between raking leaves and putting things in shed for a long winters nap. 800 pages yikes. Feargus O’Connor Greenwood – what a great name.
My dog’s birthday is coming up, I shall buy him the book and read it to him.

Killzone: Zelensky Desperately Requires Truce Disaster Erupting In Pokrovsk-Kupyansk
My Russki said the cauldron at Pokrovsk might be a perfect set up for a reprise of General Zhukov’s Op Uranus. That’s the name of the plan that turned the tide against the Nazis at Stalingrad.
The RFA has baited the UAF to defend an impossibly long line of contact with its already attrited forces. Ukr General Syrsky has been ordered by Prez Z to hold Pokrovsk at any cost so that Nato won’t pull the plug. The waves of human meat he’s throwing seem to be holding the line.
But the RF has deep and mobile resources, near-perfect intelligence, and the gift of “maskirova” – modes of deception. Update Mongol tactics of fake retreat followed by an overwhelming storm of aviation, artillery, and drones.
That is, execute a sudden, quick withdrawal. The UAF pours into that pocket, and they’re enveloped front and rear. Wipe out.

Palki Sharma:
Is this Russia’s More Dangerous Weapon Yet?
Vladimir?Putin has unveiled the Burevestnik—NATO codename “Skyfall”—a nuclear-powered cruise missile that can fly for 15?hours and cover nearly?9,000?miles. Powered by a miniature reactor, it has “unlimited range” and can evade any defense system, including America’s so?called Golden?Dome.
But experts warn it’s a “flying Chernobyl,” leaving radioactive air in its path. The test comes just weeks after Putin’s talks with Trump collapsed, raising fears of a new arms race. In this report, Palki?Sharma explains what makes the Burevestnik so dangerous—and why the world is alarmed.

TOC Ready Room 27 October 2025: Two pings (Aircraft carrier to counterdrug fight off Venezuela; Geopol rhetoric versus actual results)

FTA [my emphasis]:
Ping Two: The Rhetoric and the Reality
This observation is important.
It has to do with the public discussions by Trump officials of U.S. policy on Gaza and the Middle East, which regularly disappoint and frustrate knowledgeable and well-meaning observers.
Knowing the treachery nations like Turkey and Qatar have frequently engaged in, and their bad records on problems like Syria, the Kurds, Palestinian Arab terrorism, and basic human rights, it’s understandable that the sometimes (OK, often) fatuous-sounding rhetoric is like nails on a chalkboard.
It’s not just the rhetoric, of course. It’s the policy direction indicated by speeches, affirmations, and proposals, when taken at face value as each instance pops up. Too often it seems – there’s no other word for it – stupid.
We’re surely not thinking of allowing a military or even any other on-the-ground presence in Gaza of forces that answer to Recep Tayyip Edogan, right?
In fact, why are we contemplating such foolishness as a multinational peacekeeping force in Gaza that sounds exactly like the counterproductive UNIFIL in southern Lebanon?
And is it really necessary to slather Qatar in so much butter that there’s no ungreased spot to latch onto, if Doha wants to get slippery on us?
These are legitimate questions. I offer a couple of thoughts to help deal with them, however…

She’s more salty writing as “Jennifer” on the military blog where I lurk using my relative’s id.
Ugh. Witkoff & Kushner’s ’60 Minutes’ interview provoked a VOMIT BUCKET emergency.
And PT’s gratuitous empire:colony public remarks about a sovereign state that’s performed miracles _on its own_ might be ignored by an adoring Israeli public, but Vance’s echoes are intolerable.
This inflation of the U.S. role just feeds the vile infection of right-wing jooo-hate. Every stupid, malicious comment by those posing as MAGA makes the virus more virulent.
