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.
Enricher in the UK gets bitchslapped and ends up on the pavement:

Israel Has Lost the World. That Is the Story, Anyway.
Since Oct. 7, we are told that Israel has lost the world. It has squandered international goodwill. It has alienated its allies. It has isolated itself through its conduct in Gaza…
There is only one problem with this theory. It assumes Israel enjoyed remarkable support before Oct. 7. When exactly was this golden age? Was it when student groups were calling for boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against the Jewish state? Was it when anti-Israel activism became a permanent feature of university life?
Or was it at the UN, where Israel has long occupied a unique category of international obsession? From 2015 through 2024, the UN General Assembly adopted more than twice as many resolutions against Israel as it did against all other countries combined…
We are told Gaza transformed Israel into an international outcast. Curiously, many international institutions seem to have reached that conclusion years before Gaza. The idea that Oct. 7 destroyed decades of goodwill would be more persuasive if anyone could point to the decades of goodwill.
BEFORE Israeli forces had entered Gaza in significant numbers, before casualty figures dominated headlines, BEFORE military operations had fully unfolded, many people had already decided who the villain was…
If support disappears the moment it is tested, was it ever support at all? An ally who vanishes during a war was never much of an ally. And support that exists only during periods of calm is not support in any meaningful sense of the word.

Read the whole article. It’s really good.
Always the mellow, positive voice who can be heard over the shouting. I’ve seen Victor Satya on video, but he looked like a standard, light brown Israeli. Now there’s a picture of him [at the link]: turns out he’s a black East African.

The Ongoing Charade of Hamas Disarmament
Six months after President Trump announced his ceasefire initiative for Gaza, Hamas is still armed, still in control of large parts of Gaza, and still openly refusing to surrender its weapons. Last week, mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey gathered in Cairo with Hamas leaders and representatives of several Palestinian factions in yet another attempt to persuade the Iran-backed Islamist group to comply with Trump’s peace plan, which calls for the demilitarization of Gaza and the decommissioning of weapons held by Hamas and other armed groups…
The notion that Hamas would voluntarily surrender the means that allow it to dominate Gaza, intimidate Palestinians, and wage jihad (holy war) against Israel is detached from reality. Hamas did not spend decades building a military infrastructure, digging tunnels, stockpiling rockets, and indoctrinating generations of Palestinians only to hand over its weapons because mediators asked politely. Terrorist organizations do not voluntarily negotiate themselves out of existence…
That Qatar and Turkey are once again serving as mediators just adds another layer of lunacy to the process. Both countries have long been among Hamas’s most important political and financial supporters. Hamas leaders have enjoyed safe haven in Qatar and Turkey for years…

PT’s “Board of Peace” was always snake posing as a dove.
Saul Sadka notes on X:
“Everything actually happening in the Middle East right now is happening inside a black box, and all the public comments from all sides, as well as many of the actions, are simply the walls of that black box. If you find yourself getting agitated, you are part of the box.”
“To be clear, it might indeed be true that bad things are happening inside the black box, that it will negatively effect Israel, the USA and or the West. But we, outside the black box, have no idea. This is frustrating for people who like to know the news, but it is what it is.”

IDF Discovers Maps of Northern Israel Communities in Lebanon Tunnels
In one of the tunnels beneath Beaufort Ridge in southern Lebanon, IDF troops discovered maps outlining northern Israel communities that border Lebanon.
The tunnel network reportedly can accommodate hundreds of Hizbullah operatives across multiple rooms designed for long-term use. The rooms include living quarters, plumbing, electrical infrastructure, and extensive anti-tank and aerial defense arrays.

Hamas jumped the gun on Oct. 07.
Hezbollah was always the one who was to have invaded Israel from the north – in an even larger mass, with vast entrenched facilities that dwarfed those of Hamas in the south.

The ‘great settlement’: Trump’s financial heist, Iran’s strategic heist
Donald Trump delayed when decisive action was required. He retreated from pressure points that gave Washington leverage. He weakened American bargaining power before securing American objectives. He personalized one of the most consequential confrontations in the Middle East and transformed it into a succession of contradictory declarations, shifting positions, and improvised negotiations.??
The result is that what began as an effort to constrain Iran risks ending as a strategic opening for the ruling Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. That outcome was not inevitable. Donald Trump helped create the conditions for it…
Frozen Iranian assets have become negotiable. Economic pressure has become negotiable. Maritime restrictions have become negotiable. Sanctions relief have become negotiable. The very tools that gave Washington leverage are being converted into concessions before Washington has secured the strategic objectives that justified the confrontation in the first place.??
This is not a tactical adjustment.
It is a strategic shift.??The principal beneficiary of that shift is not difficult to identify. It is not the Iranian people. It is not those who hoped external pressure would weaken the structures of repression inside Iran. The principal beneficiary is the ruling IRGC…
History is usually less interested in declarations than in outcomes.??
Donald Trump may call this a “Great Settlement.” The ruling IRGC may remember it as one of the most successful strategic heists in its history.

MbS et al. hate PT anyway. He offended the Clown Prince.
Trump Humiliates MBS on a Saudi Stage and Exposes the Alliance
Trump told 1,500 Saudi delegates MBS is “kissing my a-.” The FII Miami incident exposes a wartime alliance built on dependency, not partnership. The triple bind.
https://houseofsaud.com/trump-humiliates-mbs-fii-miami-us-saudi-alliance/
Ok, the analysis is correct. But that “dominance display” is just baked into PT’s character, nothing personal. He does it with Bibi, Miriam Edelman, everybody.
But certain factors make it worse:
“The fact that Trump applied this framework to the ruler of the world’s largest oil exporter, at the ruler’s own investment conference, during a war in which Saudi Arabia is absorbing Iranian missile strikes…”
And worst of all, MbS has cultivated a tough guy brand. PT’s comments “are a direct negation of that brand.”
MbS will retaliate. He’ll distance himself – and the petrodollar – by means of rapprochement to China, Russia, and even Iran. Or who-knows-what?
Send a message to President Trump asking him when is going to stop the deadly mRNA so-called vaccines that so many people believed would be one of his first BIG deals if he was re-elected.
Canadians should not waste their time asking the placed climate crisis clown — his government has sealed the Vaccine deaths and injured report for 15 years.
Lee Smith calls a spade a spade, drawing a parallel with PT’s fumbling covid in his first term to this mess on dealing with Iran.
And Lee Smith has been staunchly pro-PT. His most recent book is an extended interview with POTUS himself.
Donald Trump’s Pallets of Cash: Another president chooses surrender
https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/trump-pallets-cash-iran
FTA:
“The truth is that Trump doesn’t always win. He lost the 2020 election because he was wrong about COVID and millions of Americans paid for his failure. His Iran policy now looks like his second-term version of COVID because it looks like disorder, which is what losing looks like.
“With COVID, Trump handed authority off to subordinates who wanted him to lose the election; with Iran, he’s given a deputy who openly opposed the war the leading role in negotiations. But Vance is no more responsible for undermining Trump and shielding Iran than Anthony Fauci was for getting Joe Biden elected—the buck stops with the commander-in-chief.”
We need to wait and see what is in the Memorandum before we say it is a failure and a lot of pallets of cash, what I have been hearing is good as long as we have a strong President. Remember a lot of the reporting is being done by people who hate PT.
