Reader’s Links for January 5th, 2026

Posted on by

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.

  2. On the origin of money, credit, bankster anti-Semitism and other interesting aspects of economics:

    • We all knew this was coming, the next thing is to see how far they get when they decide they have enough power to follow through and seize the property.

      • Rent control plus taxes takes property off the market, effectively seizing it, but also continuing the housing shortage, which is a win for some

    • I’ve never liked NYC. I don’t even like their dialect. And everybody I cared about moved because of covid-stasi.

      Except for my Hungarian-American violinist friend. He’s been going through hell, consumed by what-ifs, what-nows. Sorry to say, I dread conversations with him.

  6. The DEI military, it takes roughly 1 year to build or rebuild a combat ready military, Biden and his handlers who ran the US did a lot of damage to the US military but Pete has had almost a year to rebuild the US military into a lean mean fighting machine. In the aftermath of the action in Venezuela all of the US advisories have to be asking who is next of President Trump’s to do list.

    I am not going to guess on which nation is next on the list but remember that President Trump is seeing a major threat to the US from the Drugs supplied by China as well as the Chinese controlling the Panama Canal and their desire to control the Northwest Passage. I think the problem in Panama was solved when Pete visited Panama during the summer but the drugs and the Northwest Passage are still open. Columbia will have to be stopped from producing and supplying drugs to the Mexican Cartels for shipment into the US. I don’t know exactly how this will be done but I am pretty sure that the problem in Mexico will be settled by actions against Cartel people and property instead of action against the relatively powerless Mexican President. The protection of the Northwest Passage is complicated and will require a more comprehensive action then Venezuela, Columbia and Mexico. Among other problems is the European members of NATO saying that NATO will protect Greenland.

    Things are going to get very interesting this year and no action is off the table as President Trump moves to get the US in position to survive WWIII.

    • The cartels name the Prez of Mexico.
      He or she may be a perfectly nice, qualified human, but he or she is on a choke leash.

      • That they are, Mexico is going to be a very hard problem to solve, we will have to use more military and kill a lot of Cartel leaders and lower ranking people then I want to think about. Anything else will fail.

    • One nation I forgot to mention is Iran, if Trump can manage for the Iranian people to remove the Mullahs and replace them with a new government that is friendly to the West he will be able to choke off another source oil to China. This will be a good thing in the long run although the short run may be bumpy.

    • Maybe he can offer up a spot in Manhattan for some Canadian politician–not a jail cell–just an apartment

  7. Maduro’s collapse a ‘disaster’ for Russia, says former diplomat
    “This is a massive foreign policy disaster for Russia.”
    Several key Russian allies, including Syria, Iran and now Venezuela have all suffered setbacks, which is “humiliating” for Russia, says Dr Donald Jensen, former diplomat at the US Embassy in Moscow.

  8. Pinky Ford needs to worry more about red Nathaniel Erskine-Smith wanting his job, and forget about Crown Royal. All the left loons that loved his closeness with Carney, may flock off to Erskine-Smith.
