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.
ADDENDUM:
This site operates more at the philosophical level of the communist/Islamic revolution which is obliterating Western Civilization. Politics, culture, law are all down stream from philosophy. Understanding the philosophy of the attack is to understand what is an attack and develop tactics, both individually and collectively against them. The attack comes entirely (so far) in the form of Dialectics. To understand dialectics, watch and read everything you can by Maj. (Ret.) Stephen Coughlin.
Here is a repost of the simplest explanation, or at least the shortest one, we have been able to think of so far (Placed here by request)
We as humans communicate mostly via conventions. In other words, we decide what a word means by what we, as a culture want it to mean, then fix the term as a convention via a dictionary
or other means so we can express what we want to each other and be understood. It’s a group process more or less but based on what we want expressions, words, concepts and taxonomy to mean.
Dialectics is the imposition of meaning on existing terms for a political outcome which is destructive to what we all consider meaning. It is a complete hijacking of Meaning.
This also applies to taxonomy. The most underrated aspect of epistemology. Of how we see ourselves. Of how we understand the world, via categories. Via labels.
Dialectical taxonomy is what forces us to change everything we think about sexuality and accept political sexuality such as the Trans-movement.
Or somehow convincing everyone that the German National Socialist Worker’s Party is somehow “far right wing”, which may be the most masterful dialectical con of the 20th century.
This deserves a proper essay. But I just want to get the thought out there.
Imposing, forcing meaning on us. Changing terms to mean what a group of tyrants what us to think they mean as opposed to what they do mean and more or less always have meant.
Making words mean something other than what we meant them to mean, then banning or criminalizing them because of their imputed meaning, even though they were good, useful terms that helped hold our culture together.
Attacking us for using perfectly good words with important meanings, then telling us what we meant by what we said, then cancelling us for it in the pre-revolutionary stage, and now in the UK outright arrest you now that the revolution is all but complete.
That is dialectics.
This is the root suit to what is going on today in new cars and pickup trucks. Complexity has rendered these machines unfixable by the owner. It began with farmers:

This is powerful. An IDF soldier and his dog were both injured in battle in southern Lebanon a few weeks ago, and today they reunited in the hospital.
I love this.

Israel Changed the Rules of War — Iran Is Paying the Price
In this urgent conversation, MirYam CEO, Benjamin Anthony, speaks with urban warfare expert John Spencer to answer one of the most important questions right now:
• Is Israel actually safer today than before October 7?
Their answer may surprise you.
From the collapse of the old “containment” strategy to the destruction of Iran’s proxy network, this discussion breaks down how Israel has shifted from reactive defense to decisive, pre-emptive power.
• The key takeaway:
Israel is no longer playing “ping pong” with its enemies — the rules of war have changed.
This analysis covers:
– Iran’s degraded military capabilities after sustained strikes
– Hezbollah’s weakening grip in Lebanon
– Hamas’ isolation and reduced operational capacity
– The end of “rocket diplomacy” and what replaces it
Why Israel now has greater freedom of action than before
At a time of ceasefire uncertainty and rising tensions, this is essential viewing to understand what comes next.
Actually it is a return to the old rules of fight the war to destroy your enemy.
Israel has to get off the choke chain that’s handled by the USA – that’s subject to American election cycle politics. Costing Israel far too much for far too long.
The protracted Gaza war – long pauses for Hamas to regroup, bogus “starvation” porn, diplomatic calumny, expert enemy propaganda. Then the farce of “Board of Peace” filled with countries that don’t even recognize the existence of the State of Israel – after 78 years!
Including friends like the Filthy Turk, mentor to Prez ISIS of Syria. And el-Sisi, sending drones loaded with arms and cash to the devils reasserting control in Gaza.
Extension of “semi”-ceasefire in Lebanon?!
Just exactly whose soldiers are doing the job there? Does anybody care what that takes out of real people, real families? Hezb continues to fire ballistic missiles that make northern Israel uninhabitable. As far as Haifa! What about OUR displaced civilians?
Who thinks Lebanon can or will keep that official UN-designated buffer zone south of the Litani free of terrorists and their infrastructure?
That’s ALL there is there! Every school, hospital, UNIFIL observation post is a depot, a launcher site.
Mercenaries from hostile countries like France and Ireland “policing” the buffer zone? They protect sniper posts!

At the end of the video the moderator said he would defer discussion for another time about things he didn’t quite agree with. He mentioned them in passing – they’re exactly the things that trouble many of us. Those who have skin in the game.

The 18 Tactics Tucker and Candace Use to Manipulate You
Dear everyone who says they’ve been “noticing” lately — about Israel, about the Jews, about who really runs our country and the world,
You didn’t notice. You were shown.
Sophisticated operators using well-developed persuasion techniques have brought you into their sales funnel.
But what they sold you isn’t a product. What they sold you is an idea.
It’s also a bill of goods.
The techniques are powerful:
Pre-suasion, Assumptive close, Illusory truth effect, Thought-terminating phrases, Burden shifting, Assertion stacking, Motivated reasoning, Asymmetric skepticism, Authority transfer, and more.
This video is meant to help you notice something new: the epistemic manipulation these actors are engaged in to spread their social contagion.
Fortunately, there’s a vaccine. Of course, it was created by a Jew…
Watch the video above as healthy exercise. Concise review of the verbal weapons bashing us.
The emphasis is on tactics – don’t _V O M I T_ because despicable “influencers” serve as specimens for analysis.
US tells citizens: ‘Leave Lebanon while flights are available’
The U.S. Embassy in Beirut urged American citizens to leave Lebanon while commercial flights are still available. Additionally, the embassy called on citizens who choose not to leave to prepare ‘contingency plans’ for emergencies and to follow news on developments in the situation in the region.

My nephew is serving on that front.
This is very interesting, it looks like Israel is about to start attacking again.
Every nation has been urgently evacuating its citizens from the region. An hour or so ago missile defense discharges were reported over Iran.
I’ve compiled a list of top resources for info. People like J.E. and Lee Smith link to them most frequently.
TONY BADRAN is from Lebanon’s Christian Maronite elite. NOT Arabs, they trace their lineage to the ancient Phoenician/-Canaanite peoples (90% DNA corroboration). They figure prominently in the Bible, especially having contributed cedarwood and craftsmanship for Solomon’s Temple.
A fellow at FDD, he’s brutally honest in analysis of the Levant, has testified to Congress, but avoided positions offered by every administration we’ve endured for decades. His articles appear in the usual places, but his regular columns in Tablet are gold standard.
His most recent:
The Iran Endgame
Donald Trump is sending contradictory signals about the point of Operation Epic Fury. The goal should be simple: Dismantle the IRGC.

A 2023 piece has become a classic:
Team Biden Mainstreams Terror Financing in Lebanon
Fifteen years of U.S. aid to ‘state security’ arms like the LAF and ISF have cost American taxpayers billions while harming Israel and strengthening Hezbollah

Zineb Riboua is a recent find, knock-out brilliant, a colleague of Mike Doran at Heritage.
All the articles are great, but I’ll just link a couple.

The War the Arab World Is Watching
The Middle East Has a Different Story and the West Is Not Hearing It
Western coverage of Operation Epic Fury has unfolded almost entirely on Iran’s own terms.
The dominant frame across European and American commentary treats the Islamic Republic as the aggrieved party narrating its resistance, and the discussion in mainstream outlets and across social media platforms has largely been organized around what Iran claims, what Iran endures, and what Iran dares to threaten….
Western observers who followed this war through the lens of Iranian social media accounts have been watching a carefully produced performance. The Arab world has been watching something else entirely, the first serious challenge to an ideology that was never democratically adopted, never welcomed, and imposed through violence and subversion from the moment of its founding.
The United States and Israel, long cast in Arab political culture as the twin engines of regional oppression, are being processed by a significant and growing portion of Arab opinion as something closer to liberators, not in the language of gratitude, which Arab dignity would resist, but in the language of relief.
Two interviews have proven especially illuminating in this regard. One features an Egyptian writer, the other a former Iraqi parliamentarian, both speaking on a Saudi-sponsored Arab channel with the kind of frankness that the Western media landscape rarely produces and rarely amplifies. Each, in his own way, says the same thing: Iran is the enemy.
I hope that reading them gives serious observers of international affairs a flavor of what the real debate looks like inside the Arab world, conducted in Arabic, on Arab terms, and almost entirely out of Western view.

Mossad Commentary @MOSSADil 4h
IRAN’S ECONOMY IS COLLAPSING — AND THE SIGNS ARE HERE
Food prices are surging. Basic goods are slipping out of reach. Citizens inside Iran are reporting shortages and daily price spikes — even after the ceasefire.
This isn’t a temporary shock. It’s a system under pressure.
Sanctions, war, and supply disruptions are choking the economy. Food inflation has already skyrocketed, with staple prices rising dramatically and millions pushed closer to poverty.
And when money runs short, the regime makes one thing clear: the IRGC gets paid first — the people last.
That’s how regimes survive longer than expected.
But there’s a breaking point.
When supermarkets empty, they turn into bread lines. And when the bread runs out, history shows what comes next: unrest.
Before that moment, expect something else:
A global PR campaign — images of hunger and suffering — blaming the U.S. for everything.
The collapse won’t just be economic.
It will be a battle over narrative.

The Iranian Government or what passes for one is setting up one of the things needed for a successful color revolution. The people have to hate and fear the police and military, all Dictatorships use the police and military to oppress the people and their hatred is used to rally the people behind the revolution
The Dems are having a hard time getting foot soldiers because the vast majority of the people don’t hate and fear the police. The Dems started their propaganda campaign against the police to late for the majority of the people to have been taught that the police are evil.
This ain’t no color revolution, a staged event we’ve seen all too often. This will be a bloody upheaval that’s as organic as any in history.
There’s not all that much we can do from outside. Sure, Israel has agents – but with its tiny population, how many can there be? No doubt minimal weapons stashes here and there, but Iran is a huge country, the terrain exceptionally complicated, 93 million people!
Nothing as clean as right/left/ – Dem/Repub. A mosaic of ethnicities with mindsets altogether different from ours and from each other.
They’re going to have to do it themselves. G-d help them.
Yes I know it isn’t a color revolution, but the IRCG are feeding the hatred and if we can supply weapons the Iranians will remove the problem for us.
The comment about the Dems is based on their attempt to create hatred for the police in the US, they are creating it among their radical base and no where else. Attacks on the police are up but not enough to cause a collapse of the US government. I was comparing the two revolutions and how the Iranian one stands a good chance to succeed if they get weapons but the Dem one stands an incredibly small chance of succeeding. They are scaring the voters rather then making the people fear the police.
I took a friend to the eye Doctor today and made the comment on my phone while waiting for him to get out of the Doctors Office. I don’t like using the phone and thus don’t explain things well when I use it.
I hope the US and Israel are arming the Iranian people to over throw the IRGC.
There have to be sizable numbers of IRGC who are prepared to turn against those who have usurped the mandate of the Twisted Ones.
The reign of the Ayatollahs is caput. So goes the entire justification for the existence of the Islamic Republic and the militias created to defend it.
The most ideologically bent officer of the IRGC will have a hard time accepting orders from just another member of the militia. Confidence in the divine mission makes it possible to justify the heinous measures used to enforce the Fiqh. When he personally feels the suffering of a nation under siege, he might just aim his weapon in different direction.
I’d bet the majority are simply cynical and corrupt. The ones with sufficient assets will escape to their hideaways in Chile or wherever. (Canada?). They were established decades ago for just this purpose. The rest will meet their fate in a country that’s weathered thousands of years of upheavals.
Uncle Vlad has offered them safety and said that they can keep any money they have stolen or are planning on stealing. China is the only other nation where they would be semi safe from Mossad or the CIA.
