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.

  4. Ezra Levant:

    You’ve probably heard the shocking news from Sydney, Australia, one of the world’s most beautiful cities.

    At Sydney’s world-famous Bondi Beach, a crowd of hundreds of Jews gathered to celebrate the holiday of Hanukkah. But two heavily-armed Muslim migrants were there, also, and they proceeded to shoot dozens of Jews, killing at least 11 and wounding 29 more. It was a massacre. In Australia of all places.

    Click here to see our Australian bureau chief, Avi Yemini, interviewing a witness who was there.

    EXCLUSIVE: Bondi TERROR ATTACK survivor relives HORRIFIC ordeal

    Australia isn’t a country you might normally associate with terrorism. But neither is Canada. In fact, the two countries are remarkably similar in their approach to Islamic extremism:

    Like Canada, Australia has had an open-borders policy towards immigrants, bringing in hundreds of thousands from the most antisemitic, extremist, backwaters in the world — including Pakistan, where one of the murderers today was from. None of these migrants is vetted for their anti-Jewish, anti-Christian, and anti-Western views.

    Like Canada, Australia’s government and media have tolerated public expressions not only of deep antisemitic hatred, but of support for violent terrorism, including massive marches in support of Hamas, and chants calling for a worldwide antisemitic pogrom, to “globalize the Intifada”. So-called “hate speech” laws are never used against Islamists; they’re reserved for “right-wingers” who speak out against Islamists.

    And, like Canada, Australia has publicly aligned itself with the terrorists, unilaterally declaring support for Palestinian “sovereignty” under its current Hamas leadership, with no conditions — a symbolic move for which Hamas publicly thanked Australia and Canada. It was an unmistakable signal that Australia and Canada are happy to deal with murderous terrorist regimes.

    So I ask again: if those conditions were sufficient for a terrorist attack in Sydney, why wouldn’t they be sufficient for a terrorist attack in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa or other Canadian cities?

    And there’s one more thing I’ve got to mention: in Australia, like in Canada, it’s very difficult for law-abiding people to arm themselves with firearms. News reports say that there were half a dozen private security guards at the Bondi Beach event, but that they were unarmed. What’s the use of that?

    In fact, eye-witness reports say that Sydney police arrived on the scene, but instead of immediately engaging with the terrorists, they hid out of fear. (It took a local bystander to rush one of the terrorists, grabbing his gun.)

    I deeply fear what is to come in Canada. We’ve already seen plenty of dry runs. Antisemitic crimes — and I mean real crimes, not just feelings crimes — are so common, they no longer even make the news. One Jewish girls’ school in Toronto has been attacked on three separate occasions by gunfire. A synagogue in north Toronto has been vandalized literally ten times.

    And every week, a group of Hamas supporters drive into the heart of a Jewish neighbourhood, right in the middle of the day, and walk through residential streets screaming at every Jew they can find. Police don’t stop them — they actually escort them.

    Like Australia, Canada is known as a soft touch for terrorism. We refuse to criminalize terrorist groups like the Muslim Brotherhood — even though the United States is doing so, and other countries, like the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, have already done so. We know that there are hundreds of Iranian agents operating freely in Canada. And we’ve had our share of terrorist attacks — including an ISIS gunman bursting into Parliament itself in a hail of gunfire. In the past dozen years we’ve seen:

    Muslim convert Ahmad Rouleau killed Canadian Forces warrant officer Patrice Vincent, by ramming him with his car

    ISIS terrorist Michael Zehaf-Bibeau murdered Corporal Nathan Cirillo, and then stormed Parliament

    Somali extremist Abdulahi Sharif stabbed Edmonton police officer Mike Chernyk, and then rammed a car into four bystanders
    And then there are the terrorist plots that were foiled, from the Toronto 18 bomb plot to the VIA Rail plot.

    These are just the cases that the “authorities” can’t deny are Islamic by nature. Most terrorist attacks are simply called crimes or “mental illness”.

    So what happens now?

    Nothing, of course. Mark Carney is continuing Justin Trudeau’s policy of mass immigration, including from Pakistan, Somalia, Afghanistan and, incredibly, from terrorist-infested Gaza itself.

    Politicians will say they “stand with” the Jews, but they won’t — they literally won’t, as many politicians now refuse to attend Jewish events (as opposed to Israeli events), because their new antisemitic vote base won’t tolerate it. Toronto’s mayor is particularly bad for this.

    And Jews in Canada — like Jews in Australia — will continue to be completely helpless. Not a single synagogue, school or Jewish community centre in Canada has an armed guard. They’re sitting ducks, thanks to gun control that only applies to law-abiding citizens, not criminals or terrorists.

    I’m deeply worried about Canada. Not just for the Jews, but for all of us.

    They say if you don’t change direction, you’ll probably end up where you’re heading. I’ve been to Europe enough to know what that looks like, when it comes to mass immigration and Islamic extremism.

    Yours truly,

    P.S. Canada used to be the place people came to be safe, free and prosperous. We’re losing that, and I think it’s going to get a lot worse. It might already be too late, but if we’re to have any chance, we have to immediately stop immigration from terrorist-infested countries.

  10. Selling F-35s to Turkey Guarantees a New War against Israel

    [Trump] is under the impression that Turkey played a key role in helping to persuade Hamas to agree to Washington’s 20-point peace plan for ending the war in Gaza, and possibly his hope that Turkey might join his Abraham Accords.

    Ambassador [Tom] Barrack, however, has been called out for “misrepresent[ing] President Erdogan’s hostile and war-threatening statements against Israel.”

    The prospect of Turkey, together with other Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia, being equipped with the F-35 stealth aircraft has prompted grave concerns in Israel that the jets – which have also been deployed to great effect by the Israel Air Force – could be used against the Jewish state in a future conflict once Trump’s term in office has ended.

    The Israelis are particularly concerned about Turkey receiving the warplanes so long as Erdogan remains in power.

    Israeli security officials are warning that Turkey is quietly working on a plan to encircle Israel, extending its influence in countries such as Syria, in anticipation of a future conflict.

    Acquiring F-35 stealth fighters would significantly increase its war-fighting capabilities in the event of Ankara becoming involved in direct hostilities with Israel after Trump leaves office.

    There are also reports that Turkey and Qatar, which is also one of Hamas’s staunchest supporters, are now attempting to thwart attempts to force the terrorist organisation to surrender its weapons — one of the key requirements stipulated by Trump’s peace plan.

    The United Arab Emirates, which has strong ties with the Trump administration, has expressed “concern” over Turkey’s and Qatar’s disruptive policies in Gaza in support of Hamas. The UAE recently decided not to participate in the proposed International Stabilization Force for the Gaza Strip.

    In such circumstances, it would be extreme folly for the Trump administration to press ahead with its plan to sell F-35 stealth fighter jets to Turkey, a country that actively supports Hamas terrorists. To do so would place Israel in the very real danger of becoming involved in yet another war with a country that is supposed to be a U.S. ally.

    • Dan Greenfield:
      3 Americans Just Died for Syria
      And for Qatar, Turkey and Muslim ‘nation-building’.

      We were told it was never going to happen. It just happened.

      Two American soldiers, members of the Iowa National Guard, and a civilian interpreter were killed in a Muslim terrorist attack.

      The official press release states that this was an attack by an ISIS terrorist.

      The Trump administration press release claims that the Al Qaeda “President of Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa, is extremely angry and disturbed by this attack” and that it took place “in a very dangerous part of Syria, that is not fully controlled by them.”

      Meanwhile there appear to be authoritative reports naming the killer as a member of the Al Qaeda government under Al-Sharaa/Al-Jolani who had been a member of his Al Qaeda group ‘HTS’ and that the attack took place during a meeting to discuss next steps.

      It’s hard to know where the truth lies, but the allegation that the attack was an insider operation are very specific.

      Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell stated that “the attack occurred as the soldiers were conducting a key leader engagement.”

      That jibes with the allegation that this was an insider attack and an ISIS terrorist should not have had access to such a meeting.

      Whatever the truth of the matter is, three Americans are dead because we’re trying to prop up Qatar and Turkey’s Jihadist state.

      The excuse that we’re fighting ISIS in Syria is utter nonsense. Yes, ISIS affiliates in Syria. So are Al Qaeda affiliates. We just lost 3 soldiers on the theory that we should be helping the ‘moderate’ Al Qaeda fight the ‘extremist’ ISIS.

      Except that Ahmed al-Sharaa had been tasked with setting up his Jihadist group by the Caliph of ISIS. And at the Doha Forum, the Jihadist made it clear that he thinks Americans are terrorists and that his terrorists are the good guys.

      • Trump will double down, like always. He’ll try to bully Bibi into submission on Wednesday.

        Like when he forced a hudna on Israel to give Hms time to regroup and gain points with his MB BFF. Another media spectacular with all sorts of heads of state paying court to the circus barker.

        He needs the win. And his sympathies are where his and his family’s money are parked.

  11. Brown University

    I was right. Rhode Island (Brown University) was likely another Jihadi attack. Just like the DC attack on the National Guard. Just like the Savannah acid attack. Just like Charlie and the Iranian transgender Jihadis of the Armed Queers of Utah behind his execution! Just like Vegas and the Brotherhood. Just like the Pulse Massacre and Hillary’s Jihadi pals from Afghanistan. Just like 9/11!

    EVERYBODY IS CALLING BROWN ANOTHER JIHADI COVERUP. WAKE UP.

    https://tierneyrealnewsnetwork.substack.com/p/brown-university

    • Here is what I have learned about the Brown shooting.

      1: It was a well planned targeted attack with the probable target being the girl (VP of the Campus Republicans).

      2: It was well planned with scouts, probably several of them wandering around campus locating the cameras and planning the route the shooter used to get on and off campus without being seen by many cameras.

      3: The shooter used a long gun (rifle or carbine) chambering 9mm rounds. (how the F did he get a long gun on and off the campus without someone seeing and calling the police. The campus is a gun free zone and most of the students will have been indoctrinated into believing all guns are evil some of them would have called the police)

      4: As far as I can see the entire police investigation is a clown show by what appear to be DEI hires.

      5:The shooter was well trained, I don’t care if this was his/her first hit or if he/she has made a lot of kills the shooter was a pro, he/she calmly walked onto and off campus at a rate that wouldn’t draw any attention.

      6: By the time the police responded the shooter was out of town and probably out of state within a couple of hours. The gun used was probably stripped down and the various pieces tossed into rivers as the shooter passed over them.

      Shootings like this are going to start occurring at regular shortening intervals, one thing we must always remember is that this isn’t a 2 sided civil war. There are many different groups that are capable of and probably will be using asymmetric tactics to attack Civilization and the idea of individual rights and freedom. We must also remember that the leftist governments of Canada and the US have allowed many foreign terrorists and in some cases foreign military personal to enter our nations.

      This war is going to be a long bloody and nasty war, I pray that the forces of freedom and individual rights will be the one that wins the war.

        “My Fellow Jews: Leave These Countries. Immediately.”

        The time is up for Jews in certain countries.

        If your government blamed Israel for Palestinians committing genocide against Jews and Israelis on October 7th, you do not live in a country that will allow you to live as a Jew.

        They hate you.

        They hate you for your religion.
        They hate you for your ethnicity.
        They hate you for who you are.

        They hate you for being Jewish.

        Whether or not you practice Judaism, they hate you for being Jewish.

        Good Jews.
        Bad Jews.
        Assimilated Jews.
        Religious Jews.

        They hate you for being Jewish.

        Leave.
        Leave now.
        Protect yourselves. Protect your families. Protect your communities.…

        If you’re in any country that does not allow you to defend yourself, leave now.

        Things aren’t great in America… but the Second Amendment is.

        It is the promissory note that says:
        “The government may turn sideways on you, but you can always protect yourself.”

        That’s America.
        The responsibility is on you.…

        • It’s why I keep bothering Johnny about his kids’ Hungarian lessons. But I trust his eyes are as wide open as relatives of mine whose parents who escaped Castro.

          I know Eeyore can’t say anything, but I pray he’s preparing. So many threat vectors, right now!

          I’m not advocating a coward’s flight: a govt-in-exile/cum-militia is likely to achieve more than dissidents living under the maple leaf Stasi.

          I worry about my cousins in Toronto and all the Canadians I care about so much. The joooz must leave NOW. Others must prepare to leave in a heartbeat.
