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.

Two Jewish men, Michael Radice and Jonathan Hirsch, visited the shop separately, several months apart, both wearing caps with a Star of David. Both say they were confronted over their perceived Zionism and told to leave.
“These lawsuits represent the ongoing efforts of Zionist organizations and the federal government to use the courts as a tool to repress free speech and public political commitments to Palestine,” Jerusalem Coffee House wrote in a Substack post on Aug. 21.
I wonderif there wiuld have been grounds for charges if
the men had not been Jewish, i.e.
Two non-Jews with magen david (Star of David) necklaces
Two non-Jews wearing kipppt (with or without a star)
Someone wearing a cross
Someone wearing a kippa with a cross on it or with a crescent moon on it
A turban and a knife?

First Jordan, then Egypt: Xi Jinping’s search for a new MO in the Middle East
China has become the dominant trading partner for much of the region, remaining extraordinarily dependent on area stability without taking steps to contribute to it.
King Abdullah II of Jordan was just invited to Beijing after an 11-year absence. Now, Xi Jinping of China is heading to Egypt for his first state visit there in a decade.
Xi will travel to Cairo immediately after attending the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Kyrgyzstan that starts on Sept. 1. Officially, Beijing describes the Egypt visit in familiar terms: 70 years of diplomatic relations, a flourishing comprehensive strategic partnership, economic cooperation and an exchange of views on regional and international issues.
But Egyptian analysts are asking: Why now?

The Chinese Dragon Lurks Beneath the Pacific
China’s Atomic-Powered Submarines, With Nuclear-Tipped Missiles, Can Reach US Cities, Pacific Rim
…Press reports say the test came on the same day China and Russia were holding joint naval exercises off the Chinese coast. A coincidence? Not likely.
The message from China is clear. They have the means to sail nuclear-powered submarines anywhere in the Pacific, armed with nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missiles that are easily capable of reaching American cities or any nation around the Pacific Rim.
The threat greatly complicates the US Navy’s role of finding and destroying those submarines in the event of conflict, for there is nothing more threatening than a deeply submerged submarine capable of wiping out entire cities just 20 minutes after the launch of its missiles.

• China’s strategic objectives targets weakening the West, containing India, while also expanding the Belt and Road corridors toward Turkey, Africa, and critical mineral resources.
• China is exploiting its economic and military ties to draw countries into its strategic orbit
• The U.S. should treat its friends better, maintain American power as the foundation of global security, and clearly understand its enemies and their objectives.
• Diplomacy generally codifies realities created by events on the ground rather than being capable of fundamentally changing underlying ideologies thru dialogue alone.
• Oslo represents an example of relying upon diplomacy to change underlying realities, and instead it ultimately produced more conflict rather than the peace which it was sold as providing.
• Economic benefits by themselves will not draw states like Iran, Palestinians, or Turkey into abandoning their established Islamist ideologies nor the objectives associated with them..
• U.S. policy toward Israel: The discussion questions whether American efforts to avoid escalation in Lebanon, Gaza, and Syria are constraining Israel and failing to treat an ally as it should.
• The struggle over the E1 construction project stands a strategic approach to dealing with Israel’s territorial security by blocking the possibility of a contiguous Palestinian state.
• The broader ideologicl disputes stand as a choice between returning to the pre–October 7 diplomatic assumptions based around Oslo and what he Israel’s post-October 7 understanding that strategic threats are the consequences of contemplating any territorial concessions.

Reuters published this just yesterday:
Senior IRGC Officers Believed Trapped in Hizbullah Command Center
Iran has warned the U.S. that it would respond forcefully to an Israeli offensive on the Ali al-Taher mountain ridge in southern Lebanon where Iranian military personnel are holed up alongside Hizbullah fighters, three officials said.
Hizbullah built an underground command center and weapons stores within the Ali al-Taher ridge. The Israeli military occupies territory to Ali al-Taher’s south and has identified the ridge as one of its “primary operational focuses.”
Two officials said over a dozen members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, including at least two senior officers, were with the Hizbullah fighters.
Despite a ceasefire announced in June, the Israeli military has said Hizbullah is still operating around the ridge.
