Reader’s Links for April 5th, 2026

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. Muslim called Jewish family ‘dirty people’ in park then tried to tell cops that he had First Amendment right to do so, prosecutors say

    A Muslim man argued he had First Amendment rights to call a Jewish family ‘dirty people’ at a Miami Beach park, prosecutors said.

    Ahmad Zeeshan, 32, was arrested on Thursday after he allegedly approached a Jewish family at Stillwater Park and shouted anti-Semitic slurs at them, NBC Miami reported.

    ‘Are you guys Jewish?’ he allegedly asked, according to Local 10 News. After confirmation, he allegedly yelled: ‘Get the f**k out of here, you f**king dirty people.’

    Zeeshan then allegedly threatened to attack the father, an arrest report said.

    The father allegedly pulled a gun out after feeling his and his children’s safety was being threatened, the outlet reported. He allegedly asked Zeeshan to get away from them multiple times before pulling out the weapon, CBS reported.

    A woman at the park allegedly asked the Jewish family to stand behind her as she was also disturbed by Zeeshan’s behavior.

    The father allegedly asked her to film the encounter and to call the police. Zeeshan also began to film, before he left the park in a car, according to Local 10 News.

    Both men called police, with Zeeshan saying the Jewish father had threatened him with a gun, while the dad said the man had berated him with anti-Semitic slurs.
