Reader’s Links for April 4th, 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. I suppose it comes down to what you choose to believe. After all, we all have the right to speculate when we haven’t privileged information.

    Did PT’s brilliant crew game out the consequences of blowing up a complex system? Of course. Is there a deep understanding of such an action that incorporates the unknown unknowns in the results? Likely. Was there a pressure building in some sector that forced such a move? Probably more than one: debt, dollar, the bond market, Red Chinese encroachment, the AI race, energy, world communism–all existential threats to our Western existence.

    Is the cure better than the threat? Is PT a secret globalist? Well, here is where we come to the point of choice. We do not know what is in his head. And don’t shoot the guy asking the questions. We have the right to speculate, and at the end we must land on faith in something, someone. I believe he is trying to save his country and his people as best he can.

    I also think he ranks as the most courageous and boldest President in history. He sees himself as a man of destiny, and men who think this way fulfill their own prophecy whether they be good or bad.

    More than one analyst sees the train a comin’. This train is now in Asia. Energy and fertilizer shortages have begun there. Even if the Straight opens today the impact is unavoidable.

  2. I believe he is trying to save his country and his people as best he can.

    That is what he is doing, he is working hard to ensure that the US is positioned to survive the coming collapse. The Keynesian (Marxist) economics that the left has forced on every nation has created the perfect storm, the worlds economy is going to collapse no matter what anyone does. President Trump sees this and is working to position the US so we will survive the coming collapse and remain free, he is going to do this no matter what anyone thinks or says. He will try to get our allies to position themselves to survive but he will not waste any effort if they refuse.

    Everything he is doing is designed to ensure the survive of the US and our freedom, the left is counting on all nations to become ungovernable during the collapse so they can come in as the “Strong man” and take over the entire world. This will not happen if PT has any say in the matter, he believes in freedom and is working hard to ensure that the US remains free with individual rights instead of the group rights the Marxist want to use to divide us. A lot of what he is doing is being done while the left is focusing on some 90/10 item in the US political arena. Right now he is negotiating with Denmark to reopen the US military bases in Greenland that Obama and Clinton closed. He is also quietly working to ensure that Cuba collapses and becomes a friendly neighbor instead of a Island that has been waging asymmetric war (using criminals and other deniable means) against the US since 1960.

    Semi OT, I see where Alberta has gotten enough signatures to force a vote on secession from Canada, is there any realistic chance it will get enough votes to work?

  3. Marco Mendincino was Minister of Public Safety during the Freedom Convoy — he claimed police had asked Justine to invoke the Emergency Act in order to evict the Convoy. That was a lie, not a single police department or intelligence Agency had done so.
    Mark Carney made this pathetic excuse of a man his Chief of Staff, why?

    Cicero 58 B. C. Said:
    “An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. but the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his shy whispers rustling through the alleys, heard IN THE BERY HALLS OF GOVERNMENT ITSELF. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the base ess that lies deep in the hearts of all men. HE ROTS THE SOUL OF A NATION, he works secretly and unknown in the night to UNDERMINE the pillars of the city, and infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.
    Carney can not possibly serve Canadians and be a slave to the WEF/ New World Order.
    He has driven a wedge between the Canadian people and our friend, the USA, our largest by far trading partner.
    DO NOT COMPLY.

      F-15E Down Over Iran-What happens next
      Ryan McBeth – April 3, 2026

    • Jennifer Griffin – 32 minutes ago

      Fox News can confirm that the 2nd crew member of the downed F15E fighter jet has been rescued and he and the members of the rescue team that extracted him from behind enemy lines in Iran are all safely out of Iran. That according to two senior US officials and multiple well placed sources in the region. The Weapons Systems Officer ejected along with the pilot when their F15E Strike Eagle they were flying was struck Thursday night (early Friday local time) in southwest Iran.

      The WSO used the SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) training to evade capture, hiding on an elevated ridge after hiking away from the wreckage and putting out an emergency beacon.) US Special Operations rescue forces to include PJs (United States Air Force Pararescuemen (PJs) and many layers of elite rescue forces took part in the complex, layered mission to both find the crew member and also keep the Iranian forces who were hunting the American weapons system operator at bay. There are videos that have appeared from local eyewitnesses that show what appear to have been injured and dead Iranian members of the IRGC and Basij who were looking for the downed American crew member. Fox has learned there was fighting on the ground but no Americans killed during the operation. “It was a very complex operation to retrieve the downed service member,” a well placed source briefed on the operation told me. Many different branches of the US military were involved in the rescue.

      Fox News can confirm the A10 Warthog that crashed Friday was involved in providing cover for the rescue teams searching for the pilot. That A10 crashed in Kuwait (first reported by ABC Friday) but the A10 pilot managed to eject safely and was rescued. There was destruction of aircraft which have sensitive equipment on board, I am told, all part of this complex CSAR (Combat Search and Rescue) mission.

      The F15E was pretty much destroyed on impact. Two rescue helicopters were hit by enemy fire on Friday and crew members onboard were injured by enemy fire but managed to make it out of Iran.

      There were a lot of elements to this rescue, I am told.

      • According to a report on FOX the WSO had been a instructor at the Escape and Evasion training, he was well versed in what he needed to do.

  6. Commentary Donald J. Trump Posts From Truth Social

    Donald J. Trump Truth Social 04:05.26 12:08 AM EST

    FROM PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

    WE GOT HIM! My fellow Americans, over the past several hours, the United States Military pulled off one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History, for one of our incredible Crew Member Officers, who also happens to be a highly respected Colonel, and who I am thrilled to let you know is now SAFE and SOUND! This brave Warrior was behind enemy lines in the treacherous mountains of Iran, being hunted down by our enemies, who were getting closer and closer by the hour, but was never truly alone because his Commander in Chief, Secretary of War, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and fellow Warfighters were monitoring his location 24 hours a day, and diligently planning for his rescue. At my direction, the U.S. Military sent dozens of aircraft, armed with the most lethal weapons in the World, to retrieve him. He sustained injuries, but he will be just fine. This miraculous Search and Rescue Operation comes in addition to a successful rescue of another brave Pilot, yesterday, which we did not confirm, because we did not want to jeopardize our second rescue operation. This is the first time in military memory that two U.S. Pilots have been rescued, separately, deep in Enemy Territory. WE WILL NEVER LEAVE AN AMERICAN WARFIGHTER BEHIND! The fact that we were able to pull off both of these operations, without a SINGLE American killed, or even wounded, just proves once again, that we have achieved overwhelming Air Dominance and Superiority over the Iranian skies. This is a moment that ALL Americans, Republican, Democrat, and everyone else, should be proud of and united around. We truly have the best, most professional, and lethal Military in the History of the World. GOD BLESS AMERICA, GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS, AND HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!
