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.
We all have our own preferred lens through which we see the world. Each one is valid in its own way, and each may be argued as being the widest view possible to explain the machinations of our world.
Here is a famous speech about money delivered by its author, Grant Williams. In it he explains how one of nature’s apex predators, the wolf, is metaphorically kindred to gold. His reasoning is insightful–even profound in its clarity. The wolf prevents overindulgence by deer in an ecosystem, which renders the landscape, ultimately, barren and transformed. Reintroduce the wolf to that ecosystem, however, and nature reverts back to its natural, plentiful state.
Gold is the apex predator of large government and speculators who benefit wildly because they are first in line to public funds. They resist gold because they prosper in its absence while the ecosystem for the rest of us becomes barren.
This may not be your preferred lens, but gaining some of its wisdom may mean the difference between your success or failure in the near future.
Ukr nationalists have posted a map of “greater Ukraine”
“Specifically, this concerns the southeastern territories of four Polish voivodeships: Subcarpathian, Lesser Poland, Lublin, and Podlaskie; Romania is to cede to Ukraine the southern part of the Maramures region and Southern Bukovina; Hungary is to cede the eastern borderlands; and Slovakia is to cede the entire area around the city of Prešov, including the city itself.”

On a dedicated Russian military review website comments are sparse about places front and center on our mapping websites. Apparently these “victories” amount to a potato field, two tree-lines, an empty barn, or a miserable village abandoned years ago.
The sense of disgust is overwhelming. Vital targets are scrupulously avoided to spare infrastructure that’s important to a certain oligarchic elite. That’s international capital, American and Russian owned/leased farmland, plus resource-rich belts of territory. The UAF obliterates and mines anyplace from which it must retreat. Everything left standing – including bridges – is heavily mined.
AI scanning old books for knowledge, then destroying them?

I don’t like the destruction, once the books are in digital format they are easily modified. Paper and ink are much better for preserving the past.
The DSA are doing there best to insure that the Repubs win big in November.
Stereotypes are often harmful and misleading. Here’s one:

Does anyone ever get a cold now or it just Covid, Covid, Covid?
There seems to be a horrendous number of “rare form”, terminal, stage 4 cancers. I wonder why, why, why.
Cancer mRNA vaccine succeeds in late-stage trial Companies say. The vaccine prevented the cancer from spreading in patients, Moderna and Merck said.
Separate article
Covid-19 vaccines may be causing cancer, Experts say.
Professor Emeritus of Oncology, Dr. Angus Dalgleish, “I have no doubt in my mind that the mRNA vaccine likely played a significant role in the development of these unexpected cancers.”
Unsafe at MIT : A Chronicle of a Campus War on the Jews
For Jewish and Israeli students at MIT, the days and months following October 7 profoundly changed campus life. Campus corridors, which once reverberated with the voices of researchers discussing problems and sharing solutions, became an echo chamber of hostility and intimidation.…
This oral history chronicles the multiple fronts that Jewish and Israeli students faced… Their stories illuminate a broader institutional failure: the erosion of MIT’s commitment to prioritizing innovation above dogma and the consequences that follow when a university abandons the standards that define it.…

……..
Review:
Sheffi [the author] states that the conflict engulfing Jewish students and many Jewish professors (those who aren’t woke) isn’t a debate over Middle East policy. Nor is it a disagreement between two student groups with competing narratives. It’s not an outbreak of spontaneous grief-driven protest and it’s not a symmetrical conflict between two equally situated communities.
It is, “a coordinated campaign of delegitimization and intimidation, amplified by social media, shielded by institutional paralysis, and justified through a moral framework that denied Jews the protections routinely extended to other minorities.”

Cross-registering for courses at Harvard and MIT makes your head swim, but there’s a kind of relief from specific pressures at one place to the other.
That all dissolved in a blur of relentless persecution from what seemed like one frontal assault from a mass of inhuman demons.
I came across these somgs from Scottish culture and discovered that perhaps “xenophobia” is not fear of immigrants, but fear of getting to know and appreciate ourselves better. Both examples feature songs thay women once sang when preparing fabric and when farming.
