Reader’s links for February 25th, 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.

  2. The division between woke women and winning men is illuminated in the wake of the U.S. hockey victory. The venom coming from progressive females is astonishing. The winning women’s hockey team turned down the White House invitation to celebrate. Toxic masculinity, a dialectical fabrication, is superceded by toxic femininity, which is showcased by politically-jet fueled women:

    Khaled Abu Toameh:
    Who Will Become the Biggest Beneficiary of the Billions of Dollars About To Be Invested in the Gaza Strip? The Terrorist Group Hamas

    “There is a prevailing sense within the committee and other parties that Hamas is determined, by all means, to keep its members within the new administrative framework overseeing the Gaza Strip.”
    – Asharq al-Awsat, quoting “sources close to” NCAG [Palestinian National Committee for the Administration of Gaza], February 14, 2026.

    […]What we are currently witnessing are direct and indirect efforts by Hamas to continue governing the Gaza Strip even after the establishment of Trump’s “Board of Peace” and the NCAG…

    Anyone who believes that the NCAG will be able to operate as an independent governing body in the Gaza Strip is abysmally uninformed. Its members will undoubtedly be at the mercy of Hamas and its masked thugs.…

    • The only thing that bothers me now–after having read your comment—is the need for a microphone at a leisure activity. Wait until religious groups start renting schools for iftars.

      • I disagree with much of this article by David Wurmser, but he makes the same point here:

        [W]ars are not won through power alone, nor even by power wedded to grit and willpower, but by strategy. The West has, through the ages produced great strategists, but there is undeniably a dearth of astute practitioners of the art of strategy dominating Western policy elites.

        Even were there strategists aplenty, strategy begins and ends with culture and the political nature of the ideas informing that culture. No people on earth understand that better – and master the art of strategy better – than the Iranians. Arabs are a close but still distant second.

        Strategy in the Middle East emanates not from recent Western concepts or culture, but from a mastery of manipulation, even irrespective of the balance of power. No amassing of power or clear display of the will to use it impresses the more strategically minded Middle Easterners.

        Indeed, theirs is a politics of how weakness overpowers absolute strength and brutality, as the most important political text of the Middle East, A Thousand and One Nights, reveals.
