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.

The “right” is using Israel to splinter the right, right?

The “right” is not all right. Alright?
I was re-reading Israel-related commentaries by Sundance at the CTH from about a decade ago. Comparing them with entries over the last several months. A flip-flop. Very crafty, very subtle.
The threads are barely recognizable. A few oldies but goodies, but most of my favorites no longer post. They lurk, but for a rare, brief comment.
Worse, a few of those I used to admire have gone straight to the hell that’s trending. Like the others who now frequent the threads, they lard the ugly with long passages from Scripture. Like brandishing a keffiyeh, Hey, we’re the Good Guys!
They quote the odious Pat Buchanan. And eagerly exchange links to Alex Jones and The Gray Zone. They’re captured by shills for Russia and Iran: Scott Ritter, John Mearsheimer, Douglas Macgregor, Jeffrey Sachs (he’s CHY-na).
The faux-right of Alexander Dugin.
. . . . . .
I fell for the comprehensive (and exquisitely executed) trashing of those “uniparty hacks”, the odious “RINOs” (like JINOs??
-eeek!!.Fact is, I love Ted Cruz. And Marco Rubio. (Ok, I’m a sucker for los cubanos.)
Ok, so all-American Mitt Romney and John Boehner. And Ronald Reagan, for heaven’s sake!
Right, left, up, down.
Is-real means da joooz.
It always STARTS with us.
Reasoned dialogue, studying the trajectory, “enlightened” education, the response to hate speech is MORE speech, prove me wrong…
blah, blah, woof, woofJust so much spit swapped.
NONE of it changes the course of violent destruction that ensues. Get ready.
Israel says it killed a senior Hezbollah official in first strike on Beirut in months

Israel on Sunday struck Lebanon’s capital for the first time since June, saying it killed Hezbollah’s chief of staff Haytham Tabtabai and warning the Iran-backed militant group not to rearm and rebuild a year after their latest war.
The strike in Beirut’s southern suburbs killed five people and wounded 25 others, Lebanon’s Health Ministry said.
Hezbollah confirmed Tabtabai’s death. Earlier it said the strike, launched almost exactly a year after a ceasefire in the Israel-Hezbollah war, threatened an escalation of attacks — just days before Pope Leo XIV is scheduled to visit Lebanon on his first foreign trip.
“We will continue to act forcefully to prevent any threat to the residents of the north and the state of Israel,” Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said. The military instructed residents in northern Israel near the Lebanese border to continue with daily routines, indicating that it did not anticipate a military response from Hezbollah.
