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.

I think there is enough truth in this mockery of Western propaganda by Russian propaganda that it’s worth putting here.

The masters of Europe have hated everything _Russia_ as a religious imperative for many centuries. That’s contributed to unhealthy attitudes within the country, helped shape self-destructive policies.

China’s War on Christians
While Beijing’s hostility toward religion is nothing new, this 2025 Zion Church crackdown marks a dramatic escalation in method and intent. Unlike earlier campaigns that relied on localized harassment or selective arrests, this new wave was centrally planned and nationally synchronized – evidence of direction from the highest levels of the Ministry of Public Security and the United Front Work Department.
During the Cultural Revolution, the party sought to eliminate all religious expression as “superstition.” But under Xi Jinping, the persecution has taken on a more sophisticated, ideological character – what he calls the “sinicization of religion.”
Churches are not merely destroyed; they are forced to submit, to rewrite Scripture, to display portraits of Xi alongside crucifixes, to teach loyalty to the party before loyalty to Christ.

Gordon Chang will always go to the mat to reject American policies he regards as short-sighted against China.

? HOLY CRAP! President Trump could now deploy the MARINES to Chicago after Democrats brought the case up to SCOTUS
“The unintended consequence here might be POTUS has to call the 82nd Airborne, or the Marines, or the 101st Airborne Division, like President Eisenhower did after Brown v Board.”
“Trump might have to do that first to protect federal buildings and ICE agents. THEN, if they fail, he can then call out the National Guard.”
HUGE BACKFIRE! DO IT!

(Richard: While I am not a lawyer I do know some about the la.Without reading the opinion I can’t say for sure but the way the man is talking the Justice who rendered the emergency ruling has issued a Court Order that President Trump must replace all National Guard members with members of the regular forces. This would have the effect or repealing the Posse Comitatus Act that limits the Presidents ability to use Regular Military forces to enforce the law. In my opinion Posse Comitatus is unconstitutional since it 1) limits the enumerated right of the President as the Commander in Chief if the Military 2) places limits on the enumerated duty of the President to fulfill his Oath of Office to ensure that all laws are faithfully executed.
Pritzker, Newsom and other Democrat Governors are celebrating this as a loss by President Trump but it this problem is a win win for President Trump. If the ruling had said he could use the Guard he won, or if the ruling does toss out Posse Comitatus this is a win because he is no longer limited by that decision.
While Eric Daugherty is talking about the Marines or Airborne units being deployed it is more likely that either Military Police (if there are any of those to spare) or members of the various ground traveling Infantry. The Grunts of any of the regular Infantry Divisions can perform the mission with little effort, and most will be happy to mix it up with the protesters. Also if the left wants to start shooting at the Military forces patrolling the cities they need to remember the T Shirts that use to be available at the Gun Shows “Mess With The Best, Die Like The Rest.”)
Anything supported by porky Pritzker or gruesome Newsom is ipso facto against American interests.
Lee Smith helps explain the drift in comments at the CTH to favor the disgraceful Pat Buchanan:
The Buchanan Resurrection
The purpose of making Buchanan MAGA’s origin point is to cancel Trump and thereby revise the movement’s history in anticipation of a true heir who will redeem the founder’s original vision.
