Reader’s Links for February 19th, 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.

**New intelligence suggests a specific course of action concerning use of Substack. For a variety of reasons, who owns it, and who owns the ONLY company that monetizes authors on Substack, the question for us has always been, ‘Why is Substack allowed to exist?” I believe the answer is now known to us. It collects data on you and who you are connected to. Substack does have the best writers out there for counter-narrative views, and does allow the authors to make money at it. Which is suspicious already. But the reasons were made known to us by a Cyber-security professional. The solution seems to be to use a dedicated browser, ONLY for substack. There are many good ones out there now. So downloading another browser is easy. Get the DuckduckGo go one, or Brave or one of many others and use it ONLY for substack and clear cookies after use. Like washing your plate after you eat.

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. But use it safely.

  1. The breaking news here is that the breaking news (lead) is buried. What contorted ‘rule of law’ does Britain have that arrests this (white) guy while selectively not enforcing the law against massive Pakistani rape gangsters?

  2. – The “non-binary” individual who filed a complaint against a hair salon for offering only men’s and women’s haircuts appears to have a long history of complaint activism — even if she claims otherwise.

    According to court documents, it was around 2019 that she changed her identity to trans non-binary, rather than identifying as what she is biologically: female.

    She reportedly works as a translator for Environment and Climate Change Canada and has filed more than 45 complaints against banks, airlines, health-care providers, garages, landlord where she previously rented, and others — the list goes on.

  6. I was blocked yesterday from posting about the Bear’s first deployment of an amazing toy. I tried the “jabber-jabber” strategy, cleared browser, even shut down – to no avail.

    So here’s something different.

    John Helmer hates everything I love, so I hate to confirm his observations on anything. But it’s the Trump negotiating team: I’ve come to similar conclusions from the opposite direction.

    And if I were on the other side, I’d be outraged that Kirill Dmitriev – Harvard B-School, McKinsey, WEF – is standing in for the brilliant, vicious, jooo-hating Sergei Lavrov. Putin messes up – expect a sharp reversal no matter who follows him.

    Don’t waste time on Epstein nonsense – skip to about 19:32.

    • Never-Trumper Andrew C. McCarthy:
      The Sordid Story of Trump, the Trump–Witkoff Family Business, and the UAE

      It’s a long story, but let’s cut to the chase.

      In autumn 2024, when it had become clear that he’d likely win back the White House in about six weeks, Donald Trump and his friend Steve Witkoff founded a crypto business called World Liberty Financial (WLF).

    • Update, Feb. 15:
      STAB IN THE BACK

      President Vladimir Putin has given instructions to accept the Trump Administration’s demand that in exchange for lifting sanctions against Russia, US capital must return to Russia on preferential terms as soon as possible.

      For the new round of negotiations in Geneva later this week, Putin has replaced Admiral Igor Kostyukov, the military intelligence chief, as head of the Russian negotiating team with Vladimir Medinsky, a lower ranking Kremlin official.

      Medinsky’s instructions are that the military terms of settlement on the Ukraine battlefield, insisted on by Kostyukov at the Abu Dhabi talks, be subordinated to the terms negotiated by Kirill Dmitriev, Putin’s principal negotiator with the White House.

      The change in the Kremlin line is reported in the Russian media as the “Anchorage formula” and the “Dmitriev plan”.

      This has been publicly criticized by Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in coded attacks in media interviews and a speech last week to the State Duma, declaring “the reality is quite the opposite.”

      Lavrov – Moscow sources say – was reflecting the consensus of the General Staff, the Foreign and Defense Ministries.

      Putin reacted through spokesman Dmitry Peskov in defence of the Anchorage formula. “The spirit of Anchorage…reflects a set of mutual understandings between Russia and the United States that are capable of bringing about a breakthrough…”

      VERY unusual open split between Lavrov {spit} and VP. China and India are making unhappy noises too.

  7. President Trump Participates in a Washington DC Assembly of the Board of Peace

    President Trump invited global leaders to Washington DC to participate in the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace. U.S President Donald Trump, U.S. Vice President JD Vance, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner all delivered remarks during the event.

    Participating countries include Albania, Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bulgaria, Cambodia, El Salvador, Hungary, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Mongolia, Pakistan, Paraguay, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.

    The Vatican and Pope Leo rejected an invitation to participate, concerned the Global Board of Peace may overshadow the United Nations, and that would not be acceptable to the Catholic Church or the European Union.

    JD Vance, Marco Rubio and Steve Witkoff Deliver Remarks During Board of Peace Inaugural Meeting

  8. Finally the cold weather leaves so I can live without pain pills then I catch the Cold from Hell and when it leaves the cold weather returns, life is hard.

    Pay attention to what is being said by the administration on Iran, it sounds a lot like the way they talked about Maduro before they went in to grab him. I don’t expect the US to use ground forces to try and grab anyone in Iran, the defense personal are much different and there are too many potential enemies around Iran for a ground attack. I do expect a multi-day/week bombing campaign that reduces the Iranian military and police to the point the locals can remove the evil doers and create a new government that they like.

    Yes the US news media is acting as if we are going to recreate D Day or redo the Maduro arrest. Of course I have never had too high a regard for the intelligence for the US media, or the media of other nations for that matter.

    I will try to start posting articles when the chair doesn’t cause my back to hurt too much.

    • Hang in there Richard, we need you especially now. And be thankful you’re not up here in the frost-bitten north, where freedom of speech is getting the worst case of crippling arthritis we’ve ever seen.

  9. A major Muslim leader in NYC is calling for dogs to be forbidden because they “bother some Muslims.”
    If Mainstream Muslims make us choose between keeping our dogs and them going home, the choice is easy.

    Tomorrow night in Times Square in New York, Muslims will gather to pray the Ramadan tarawih prayer, and New Yorkers will do this.

  10. She said my dog looked “dangerous.” She asked why a German Shepherd like this was even allowed on a plane.
    Ma’am, let me introduce you to Duke. That “threatening” animal spent six years deployed with Marine Special Operations. He’s a certified Multi-Purpose Canine. While most people run away from danger, Duke runs toward it…
