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.

“You must please giff your head a shake,” Dr. Livshitz continued, “vee liff in a new reality.”
The two men continued walking. January snow and ice made the affluent neighborhood a winter wonderland. They were old friends. Jack addressed his buddy as Dr. Livshitz not because he was a doctor, or because he was really Austrian—he was neither– but because it was in keeping with their mutual agreement on how reality had been liquified by the dialectical machinery, and so it was the sardonic joke they shared. Dr. Livshitz continued speaking in his fake accent.
“For instance, zee current price of zee silver zatt vee see today is an illusion soon to be rectified.”
“What are you saying, Doc? The price will go up even more? We’re up something like one-hundred fifty percent in the last year alone,” Jack replied.
“It iss nossing, ziss. Zee fundamentals haff not changed von iota, my friend. Vhat you v’ill see v’ill make your eyes vater like a bugga!”
“Jesus, Doc, then the world really is changing, if you’re right.”
“Zee precious metals are a coiled spring zatt haff been suppressed by zee futures market for fifty years. Imagine zee energy contained in ziss release unt you vill see unt understand better its explosive capabilities!”
“Hey, isn’t that Carney’s house up ahead?” said Jack as he pointed at the lovely mansion not far away.
“Yup,” replied Dr. Livshitz, his accent suddenly gone. “A few weeks ago I passed there and it was swarming with cops.”
“Hmm. I wonder why.”
Son of Shah:
My dear compatriots,
You have inspired the admiration of the world with your courage and steadfastness. Your once again and glorious presence on the streets of Iran on Friday evening was a tooth-crushing response to the threats of the traitorous and criminal leader of the Islamic Republic. I am sure he saw these images from his hiding place and trembled with fear.
Now, with your decisive response to the first call, I am certain that by making our street presence more targeted and, at the same time, cutting off the financial channels, we will completely bring the Islamic Republic and its worn-out and fragile apparatus of repression to its knees.
In this regard, I call on workers and employees in key sectors of the economy, especially transportation, and oil, gas, and energy, to begin a nationwide strike process.
I also ask all of you to come to the streets today and tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday (January 10 and 11), this time starting at 6:00 PM, with flags, images, and national symbols, and take over public spaces. Our goal is no longer just to come to the streets; our goal is to prepare to conquer and defend city centers.
To achieve this goal, move as many routes as possible to more central parts of cities and connect disparate populations. At the same time, prepare now to stay on the streets and make the necessary supplies.
To the youth of Iran’s Eternal Guard, and to all the armed and security forces who have joined the National Cooperation Platform, I say: Slow down and disrupt the machine of repression even more so that on the promised day, we can completely disable it.
I am also preparing to return to my homeland to be with you, the great nation of Iran, when our national revolution is victorious. I believe that day is very close.
Enduring Iran!

Medical Aid in Dying as a civil right.
It sounds reasonable in “the best of all possible worlds.”
I propose that the US trade Solvang, a Danish American city by Santa Barbara, California, for Greenland. The Danes could enjoy renewing ties with their American cousins by the Pacific Ocean.

If Europeans object, perhaps Canada could contribute some of Quebec to Denmark, depending on the wishes of its citizens.
I’d be willing to give Denmark, all of Toronto if they promise to never give it back.
