Reader’s Links for July 13th, 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.

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.

    • I’d like my family there to leave, but they’d just go to the Detroit area – which isn’t any better.

    • The problem is the communists will never let non communist neighbors rest easy, they will constantly work to make the neighboring countries communist.

    • This is happening everywhere, the idea is to make the violence so bad the people will be willing to give up their freedom to achieve peace.

    • He and the other left wing entertainers are all suffering from terminal arrogance.

      • But it hits home in another genre I do follow very closely.

        Traitor – hurts a lot. He was a kind of idol for many of us. Especially during the Gulf War. I just don’t understand.

        Zubin Mehta: Why I’m boycotting Israel

        The Three Tenors maestro is the music director emeritus of the Israel Philharmonic, but as he turns 90 — with Daniel Barenboim and Placido Domingo as birthday guests – he says he is taking a stand
        […]
        Mehta’s boycott marks a rupture in a long history of solidarity with Israel. He flew into Israel during the Six Day War in 1967 to show support.

        In 1991 during the Gulf War he came again, and the orchestra and audience carried gas masks during his daytime concerts while Iraqi missiles were trained on Israel. In 1994, he led the Sarajevo Philharmonic in a performance of Mozart’s Requiem in the bombed-out National Library.

        “I don’t think [music] can change things, but I think it is very important for us to send the message,” he says.

        “I’ll give you an example. When the Israeli sportsmen were murdered in Munich at the Olympics [in 1972] that same evening I was playing in Sao Paulo with the Israel Philharmonic. They were so afraid [of an attack] yet they played Mahler’s First Symphony like their life depended on it. And that message went across. Everybody knew about the Munich incident, and yet they came to the concert.”

        • I have always felt that people who have earned celebrity and respect for their achievements in their craft, especially the arts, should voice their political opinions under an alias.

          Not to keep them safe, although that is also a good idea. But because they are using authority earned in one field to apply to another in which they may not, and likely do not, have the same level of expertise.

          One becomes elite in the arts because of an extraordinary amount of time learning the craft, and learning the business such that you become known for it. That doesn’t leave a lot of time for the machinations of history and politics.

          Some people really can do both. But again, the ethical thing to do in our opinion is to launch a new social media identity for your political opinions.

          I’m sure people on the Left might agree with me if I pointed out James Woods, Clint Eastwood and a few others.

          Having said that, my suspicion is that the very few actors and musicians who have the courage to voice non-Leftist opinions do so because they felt that theier entire profession has been hijacked by the Left and someone had to speak up for reality based thought.

          I can guess that with some authority because there really is a huge cost to non-Leftist ‘celebrities’ (shuddering at the word) as opposed to those who amplify leftist narratives.

          Actors and so on who oppose narrative are cancelled or otherwise hurt. So it is not a true equivalent.

          Let’s watch and see what happens to Bill Mahar.

          he did earn his celebrity though, to a degree, on his politics. He uses politics as his form of delivering entertainment. So it isn’t in the same camp. Eric Clapton spoke out against the shots. It would be interesting to know if it affected him or his career.
