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.

Silver is that dog you love but just won’t listen to you. It was never meant to be tamed–too independent. Many owners of this dog give up on it for its eternal recalcitrance. Not worth the bother, that mutt.
I have watched so many respected financial experts say Central Banks will never bother owning silver. Ed Dowd is one. He’s the analyst who discovered the insurance companies were showing the effects of mRNA in their data collection.
Silver is too bulky to hold. Too much hassle. This from governments with near limitless warehousing resources. Lol. So many experts were wrong:

Islamic Socialism Takes on the West
There is a century-old ideological tradition that melds Islamic theology with socialist revolutionary theory in ways that produce unpredictable and often dangerous outcomes. This fusion operates according to a logic articulated by neo-Marxist philosopher Herbert Marcuse, who argued for destroying the liberal democratic order by creating a “new sensibility” that would demolish existing social structures.
Islamic socialism was born in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, when Vladimir Lenin successfully courted Muslim constituents of the Russian empire. Both groups saw symmetry between their ideologies. For socialists, the end goal was societal transformation. Muslims saw their faith similarly – as a comprehensive system for remaking society. In Soviet propaganda posters, the Muslim revolutionary communist appeared as an Orientalist hero wielding a sword and straddling a horse.
In Iran’s 1979 revolution, Iranian Marxists and students joined forces with Ayatollah Khomeini to topple the Shah’s Western-aligned monarchy. French philosophers Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and Michel Foucault, along with Americans Edward Said and Richard Falk, applauded the Islamic Revolution. Covering the revolution as a journalist, Foucault welcomed the Islamic government’s “political spirituality” and called Khomeini “a kind of mystic saint.”
Islamic socialism represents a systematic challenge to Western democratic civilization. By racializing Muslim identity as inherently oppressed and framing any criticism as “Islamophobia,” it immunizes itself from critique. When figures like Zohran Mamdani blend Islamic identity with socialist politics, they are participating in a century-old tradition of revolutionary ideology that has repeatedly produced authoritarian outcomes.

Gee Bo quits Carney’s cabinet—disappointed about Smith, Carney deal of a pipeline, is the reason maybe. Twitchy is off to Oxford, is Joly leaving to go to France, and now the most pathetic excuse of all things environment has a tantrum. Hmmm . They can not hide, or run away from the lies, their mandates, what they did to Canadian citizens, the Emergency Act and the biggest scamdemic ever. Stay home, stay safe(fear) and shut up and mask up, social distancing, get the vax or be an outcast, the fear, the lies…

and also posts a cheerful video of would be refugees protesting the paise on entry to the US. I’ve been blessed to meet German-born Jews who were interned as enemy aliens during WWII because there wasn’t a proper vetting process in place. It’s not unique to Afghanis.

Crime is an individual action. As an Afghan, I condemn all forms of violence that harm innocent citizens. My deepest condolences to the victims and their families, and I wish a quick recovery to those injured.
Open Source Intel @Osint613
A video now circulating on Palestinian social media has blown open what appears to be one of Israel’s daring undercover operations in Gaza.
According to multiple reports, Israeli intelligence secretly detained Dr. Marwan al Hams back in July, calculating that the Hamas military doctor who pronounced Hadar Goldin dead in 2014 might also know where the fallen soldier’s body was buried.
The footage, almost certainly released by Israeli intelligence, unveils a meticulously crafted sting built around a fake documentary titled “Hero of Gaza” and an invented woman named “Charlotte” who slipped into al Hams’ life with perfectly calibrated messages of admiration, curiosity, and emotional connection. Their chats read like the slow hook of a classic espionage setup: he tells her he feels as though they have known each other for years, confesses that he trusts her, and even invites her to Gaza for a seaside visit he clearly believed was inevitable.
But the moment al Hms let his guard down, the script flipped. The video cuts to aerial surveillance capturing a sudden, precise abduction: a vehicle pulls up, operatives swarm, and the doctor is dragged inside before the car disappears into the streets. The final scene shows IDF soldiers lowering him into the Gaza tunnel passages where Hadar’s remains were believed to be hidden, forcing him to confront the very secrets he thought he had buried.
