Reader’s Links for July 23, 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.

  3. Pregnant woman thrown to ground in asylum shelter pressing charges against cop
    https://nltimes.nl/2026/07/17/pregnant-woman-thrown-ground-asylum-shelter-pressing-charges-cop
    The pregnant woman whom a police officer threw to the ground at an asylum shelter in Zeist on May 19 has filed charges against the police. She accuses the police of attempted aggravated assault, assault, or violation of the use-of-force instructions, her lawyer Willem Jebbink told NU.nl.
    “In the well-known footage, my client is roughly thrown to the ground. There was no necessity for this forcefulness. The lack of professionalism in the handling is such that, in our view, it constitutes intentional assault,” Jebbink said.
    The lawyer hopes to establish that his client was a victim of assault. “That acknowledgement is important. But it must also ensure that in the future, other people do not have to deal with this type of assault either.”
    The police responded to the asylum shelter in Zeist after reports of an aggressive man. According to the police, the woman interfered with their attempts to arrest the man. After multiple warnings, a police officer pulled her backward by her arm, and she fell to the floor. The officer said that he did not realize the woman was pregnant.

  4. Morocco allegedly attempted to spy on Dutch journalist
    https://nltimes.nl/2026/07/18/morocco-allegedly-attempted-spy-dutch-journalist
    Moroccan authorities allegedly attempted to spy on a Dutch journalist using the Israeli-made Pegasus hacking software. The Moroccan domestic security service, known as the DGST, allegedly carried out the operation.
    The Spanish newspaper El Confidencial obtained a list of phone numbers that Moroccan intelligence allegedly tried to hack between 2018 and 2019. The list included 768 cyberattack attempts on 250 Spanish numbers. The phone number of Koen Greven appeared on a target list. He served for years as an NRC correspondent in Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. He is now a sports editor at the ANP news agency.
    Those attempts formed part of a much larger campaign. The operation continued until the end of 2021. In total, Morocco allegedly tried to hack more than 12,000 devices across more than 20 countries.
    The spyware in question was Pegasus. It was developed by the Israeli company NSO Group. Once installed, Pegasus can secretly access messages, photos, microphone audio, and camera footage.
    Greven said he can easily understand why his number was listed. He frequently traveled to Morocco and reported on protests in the Rif mountains in the north of the country.
    Greven told ANP, “The security service once asked me to leave the country.”
    In a 2018 column for NRC, he wrote that Moroccan security services traveled with him on reporting trips.
    Greven does not know whether his phone was actually hacked. He no longer uses the Spanish number that appeared on the list and plans to take no further action.
    Morocco has previously denied using Pegasus. After earlier revelations, the country filed lawsuits against several European media outlets. Those lawsuits were unsuccessful, El Confidencial reported.

  5. Young asylum seekers from ‘safe countries’ fuel unrest at Ter Apel registration center
    https://nltimes.nl/2026/07/19/young-asylum-seekers-safe-countries-fuel-unrest-ter-apel-registration-center
    Weeks of unrest have affected the asylum registration center in Ter Apel. Much of the trouble involves a group of young asylum seekers from so-called “safe countries.” These are countries whose citizens are generally unlikely to qualify for asylum in the Netherlands. They include, for example, Algeria and Morocco.
    Multiple stabbings and other acts of aggression prompted aid organizations to temporarily halt their work this month. Authorities have designated the area a safety risk zone. Dozens of asylum seekers have been forced to spend their days on the forecourt, as there is no space for them inside the overcrowded center.
    High temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius during recent hot spells made tensions worse. The Dutch Red Cross resumed operations this week after extra security measures were put in place.
    Recently, for example, while NOS’s reporters were on the grounds, a small group of young men began arguing over a cigarette on a grassy field. Punches were thrown and two men wrestled on the ground. One man angrily lifted a bicycle and threatened to throw it. A customs patrol vehicle quickly arrived. Two guards jumped out and separated the fighters, and so the group scattered.
    Interviews with the young men on the forecourt showed the group is diverse. Most share a North African background. They do not see themselves as the source of the trouble.
    Anis, 20, from Algeria, has stayed at the center for 20 days — 19 inside and one outside. He attended university and holds an English diploma. He fled what he described as a 25-year prison sentence in Algeria for possessing 7 grams of hashish.
    “A part of the people here is not good. There is drinking, there are drugs, and everyone wants to fight,” Anis said. He was previously involved in a fight after refusing to give someone a cigarette.
    Boredom often leads to drug abuse. Anis takes the sedative Lyrica for pain from an old gunshot wound to his leg. Dutch doctors do not prescribe it, so he buys the medication on the street. “Coke, alcohol, tramadol, everything is available here on the street,” he told NOS.
    Anis left Algeria three years ago. He has traveled across Europe. His stay in Ter Apel is only to get medical care for his leg. “I know that no country in Europe will give me asylum. When I am recovered, I will leave for my family in France,” he said.
    Hamza, 26, from Morocco, worked illegally as a barber in Barcelona for six years. He then traveled through Europe by a roundabout route to reach Ter Apel.
    “We have no war at home. There is poverty, but that is everywhere in the world. You are not accepted here for that reason, we all know that,” Hamza told NOS. “I did not come here to eat and sleep. I want to work for my family.”
    [..]
    According to Vluchtelingenwerk, the group causing disturbances falls into two categories. One includes traumatized people with severe psychiatric problems who need treatment. The other includes those who deliberately act criminally.
    “They take advantage of the situation to steal, deal and hustle,” the organization said. When rejection seems likely, they often vanish. Many then apply for asylum again in another European country.

  6. Man arrested after fight at Ter Apel asylum center following aid groups’ withdrawal
    https://nltimes.nl/2026/07/12/man-arrested-fight-ter-apel-asylum-center-following-aid-groups-withdrawal
    It has now been reported that a 29-year-old man from Budel was arrested after fights broke out Saturday evening at the asylum registration center in Ter Apel. The arrest came as safety concerns continued to grow following two stabbing incidents in two days. The Dutch Red Cross and VluchtelingenWerk Nederland have suspended their assistance at the center because they said the situation had become unsafe.
    [..]
    The evening remained tense, with several clashes and fights reported. Police intervened multiple times after a small group of men repeatedly sought confrontations with asylum seekers from the registration center.

  7. Ter Apel asylum center area declared safety risk zone after recent stabbings, fights
    https://nltimes.nl/2026/07/13/ter-apel-asylum-center-area-declared-safety-risk-zone-recent-stabbings-fights
    The area around the asylum registration center in Ter Apel will become a safety risk zone where preventive searches can be conducted, Dutch asylum and migration Minister Van den Brink announced in a letter to parliament.
    On the center’s grounds, a day shelter will also open so asylum seekers no longer have to wait on the grass. Extra cameras will be installed on and around the site, along with four additional security guards and two extra special enforcement officers, known as BOAs.
    The measures aim to address growing safety concerns and unrest at the overcrowded facility. As a direct result, the Red Cross has decided to resume its work in Ter Apel, the organization reported.
    Starting Wednesday, a nearby existing office building will be used for registering new asylum applicants. It will also house the day shelter, where strict rules will be enforced to prevent violence and nuisance.

  8. Council of State strongly opposes plan to scrap asylum distribution law
    https://nltimes.nl/2026/07/13/council-state-strongly-opposes-plan-scrap-asylum-distribution-law
    The Dutch Council of State has issued its most negative judgment on a proposal to repeal the two-year-old asylum seeker distribution law. The advisory body called it undesirable to repeatedly put the measure up for debate, urging the lawmakers to reject the initiative outright.
    The law requires municipalities to provide shelter for asylum seekers. Five conservative-right parties—JA21, Mona Keijzer, Forum for Democracy, Groep Markuszower, and BoerBurgerBeweging (BBB)—introduced the repeal bill. They argue that the law shifts too much political focus to housing asylum seekers instead of preventing their arrival.
    The Council of State sharply rejected that reasoning. It said the way asylum seekers are received has nothing to do with the number arriving in the country. Repealing the law would only worsen problems in the asylum reception system, the council warned. It described the parties’ linkage between distribution obligations and influx numbers as “problematic.”
    The law has been in force for only two years. That is too short a period to properly assess its effects, the council said. “From the legislators—government and parliament — it may be expected to create calm and space for the implementation practice to learn to work with the new system,” the advisory body stated.

  9. DISTURBING: Kentucky Newspaper Caught Publishing Sinister Threats to President Trump, His Administration, and Supporters
    by Cullen Linebarger Jul. 23, 2026 2:40 pm

    A small local Kentucky paper is going viral after publishing serious direct threats to the lives of President Trump, members of his administration, and his supporters in what is either a lazy oversight or something more sinister.

    On Thursday, Libs of TikTok discovered that the The Mountain Eagle, a newspaper in Whitesburg, KY, had published two death threats in the paper’s “Speak Your Piece” section, which allows readers to anonymously sound off on what is on their minds.

    One recent comment calls for not only throwing Trump out of office but also executing him and all his fellow “cultists.”

    “Get that Nazi p*dophile traitor out of office and take his entire corrupt administration with him,” one reader says. “Put them all 10 feet deep in concrete and Quickline and then start hunting down the rest of the cultists.”

  11. Review: Compelling New Documentary Exposes the ‘Deep State Coup’ That Took Down Nixon
    August 18, 2025 American Spectator
    Michael Patrick Leahy
    by Francis P. Sempa

    The next time you can spare an hour and a half of your time, watch How the Deep State Took Down Richard Nixon, which is streaming free for a short time period at warroom.film. The documentary is hosted by journalist Michael Patrick Leahy, and it is based on extensive research by Geoff Shepard, a Harvard-educated lawyer who worked on the Nixon administration’s Domestic Policy Council and was later part of Nixon’s Watergate defense team.

    But Watergate was, in the words of historian Paul Johnson, a “media putsch,” what Shepard calls a “coup.”

    Shepard has written three excellent books revealing the plot to destroy the Nixon presidency, and in the film he and Leahy lay out 12 due process violations that doomed the Watergate defendants and Nixon’s presidency. And they compare what happened to Nixon more than 50 years ago to what happened to Donald Trump between 2016 and 2024. Nixon lacked the financial resources, alternative media, and political support in Washington to defeat what Leahy and Shepard characterize as a legal coup d’ etat. Trump needed all three to stay out of jail and return to the White House.

    Most Americans have been taught in school and by the media the version of Watergate as told by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in their stories for the Washington Post, their book All the President’s Men, and Hollywood’s dramatic movie starring Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman as a pair of courageous journalists who uncover a sinister conspiracy allegedly covered-up by President Nixon and his closest advisers.

    In the movie version, Hal Holbrook plays the mysterious figure that Woodward and Bernstein called “Deep Throat,” who provides clues for the intrepid journalists to follow in uncovering the “scandal.” We have since learned that “Deep Throat” was Mark Felt, then the deputy director of the FBI who was angry that he was passed over by Nixon to succeed J. Edgar Hoover as FBI Director.

    The gospel according to Woodward and Bernstein received its first blow with the appearance of Jim Hougan’s Secret Agenda. It received a second blow with the publication of Len Colodney’s and Robert Gettlin’s Silent Coup. Both books made a temporary splash in the media, but neither managed to displace the official Watergate story. Neither Hougan nor the authors of Silent Coup, however, had access to the material that Geoff Shepard painstakingly uncovered during several decades of research — all of which can be found on Shepard’s website.

    But for those too busy to dive into the evidentiary weeds that Shepard has mined, this new documentary neatly and compellingly summarizes Shepard’s findings, and places them in the context of 12 due process violations that involved members of the special prosecutors office; congressmen, senators and their staffs; U.S. District Court Judge John Sirica; D.C. Circuit Chief Judge David Bazelon; and an anti-Nixon media that circled the White House like sharks.

    • If the internet had existed back then Nixon wouldn’t have had to resign, he could have easily won any fight. But with the left controlling all of the news dissemination companies he couldn’t get his message out. Now thanks to the net and some honest historians the facts about Nixon, Kennedy and FDR are coming out. The Republicans are going to be restored to the ranks of the good guys and the Dems are going to be transferred to the ranks of the screw ups and crooks.

  12. Wyatt in Singapore has an approach that’s different from most mappers. He’s way more experienced in tactical maneuver analysis than others. He takes all reports “with a grain of salt” (his favorite expression), accepts only what makes physical sense – till proof of magic becomes available.
