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.

Alexander Dugin Tweets, Bill C-22 is really, really serious and more: Links 1 for May 15, 2026

Posted on by

1. When a politician lies, it is of course, your fault for believing them and you are “obtuse” if you did.

Well worth watching.

2. Moose on the Loose does a very good analysis of the use of Amer-Indian ‘leaders’ to negate any counter-state operations.

Very little to add here except early on when he mentions that Indian votes or opinions are worth more than white or other Canadians, of course that is a miss of the point. Whatever group that can be portrayed as oppressed will be brought forward if it advances the state narratives and agglomeration of power. This is not a small thing. This goes to the heart of the strategy being used to dismantle Canada and the West in General. The UK does it as well. Just the other day, UK PM Keir Starmer said he was going to stop anyone coming in to the UK to join Tommy Robinson’s Demo “to protect British Diversity”. A wonderfully Orwellian phrase, but strategically the same thing, albeit more generic than this.

Canadians should remember when Liberal Party proxy army ANTIFA joined forces with an obscure Amer-Indian tribe’s “hereditary Chief” of the Wetsuweeten (sp) to block railways and highways early in Le Petit Dauphin’s revolutionary reign. That particular tribe it turns out, elected their leaders. The Liberal Party/ANTIFA stole moral authority by likely paying off a hereditary chief to appear to speak to the interests of his tribe. You can guess which angle CBC CTV and Global took. Not one of them to the best of my recollection went and spoke to the elected leader. Possibly the Rebel did though. In any case, understanding this gives a minor course correction for the otherwise excellent video below.

3. Victor Davis Hanson on the Hamas Hizb’allah marches in Jewish neighbourhoods

The host reads an email from Councilwoman Vickie Paladino who actually tells the simple truth better than anywhere else in this video.

4. A few interesting Tweets from Alexander Dugin:

5. The UK Today, Canada tomorrow, and very possibly the USA after the midterms. Seriously.

Thank you all for checking out this site and its particular perspective.

Addendum post to the one on The Gulag Archipelago’s explanation for why the state acts seemingly irrationally towards the population

Posted on by

The post we are expanding on is here. best to read that first.

But thinking about it some more, there are other Solzhenitsyn quotes that make the point.

One of them, is actually much better stated by Orwell, albeit not in one sentence.

From Alexander:
“The permanent lie becomes the only safe form of existence.” -Gulag Archipelago.

“The permanent lie becomes the only safe form of existence, in the same way as betrayal.
Every wag of the tongue can be overheard by someone, every facial expression observed by someone.
Therefore every word, if it does not have to be a direct lie, is nonetheless obliged not to contradict the general, common lie.
There exists a collection of ready-made phrases, of labels, a selection of ready-made lies.”

Orwell’s scene in 1984 (O’Brien torturing Winston in the Ministry of Love) makes the same point even more viscerally and clearly.

“How many fingers am I holding up, Winston?”
…
“Four.”
“And if the Party says that it is not four but five, then how many?”
…
“Sometimes, Winston, sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane.”

[…]

“Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else. Not in the individual mind, which can make mistakes, and in any case soon perishes: only in the mind of the Party, which is collective and immortal. Whatever the Party holds to be truth is truth.”

Given all this, it is extremely important never to forget what the PM of New Zealand said during Covid. And one should also remember she was tight with Obama, as Mark Carney is now.

“We will continue to be your single source of truth.
Unless you hear it from us, it is not the truth.” -Jacinda Ardern March 19, 2020

It’s a strikingly blunt modern echo of the same idea:
The State (or the approved authority) claims a monopoly on truth.

This is why both Solzhenitsyn and Orwell remain so relevant. Once a society (or government) pivots from Socratic truth to a flexible, political, or “dialectical” rather than objective and discoverable, measurable set of axioms, more than that, shifting entirely from one system of thought to the other, it opens the door to the kind of repression and self-destruction both writers documented so well.

But this is difficult to comprehend. Painful even. Which is why the warnings both those writers offered amounted at best to the most unpleasant from of I told you so. Like yelling at your dog to not cross the street while watching it get hit by a car.

Communism as the Canadian modus is no longer an academic issue: All secure comms may pull out of Canada if C-22 passes

Bill C-22’s Groundhog Day: Why the Government’s Dismissal of Signal, Apple and the U.S. Congress Concerns Runs Back the Disastrous Online News Act Playbook

Secure messaging service Signal yesterday became the latest company to warn that Bill C-22, the lawful access bill, could force it to leave the Canadian market rather than comply with provisions it says would compromise its end-to-end encryption and create new cybersecurity risks. Signal vice-president Udbhav Tiwari told the Globe and Mail that the company “would rather pull out of the country than be compelled to compromise on the privacy promises we have made to our users.” The comments are part of a steady stream of similar warnings from Apple, Meta, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the Cybersecurity Advisors Network, and the chairs of the U.S. House Judiciary and Foreign Affairs Committees. Despite growing concern, the government’s response has been to launch a misleading social media campaign and repeatedly insist that the experts and companies are mistaken.

The pattern will be familiar for anyone who lived through the Online News Act. Supporters of then-Bill C-18 dismissed warnings from Meta and Google that the bill’s mandated payments for news links were unworkable and that they would comply by blocking the links in Canada. Witnesses confidently told Senate committees that the companies were bluffing and that, “when legislated to do so, they will come to the table.” But by the end of summer 2023, Meta had stripped news links from Facebook and Instagram, an approach that continues to this day.

The government’s defence of Bill C-22 follows much the same script. Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree has accused the U.S. tech giants of “misinterpreting” his bill and his department insists the legislation is “encryption-neutral.” When Apple released a statement warning that the bill “could allow the Canadian government to force companies to break encryption by inserting backdoors into their products, something Apple will never do,” officials replied that it “categorically rejected” the claims. When the U.S. House Judiciary and Foreign Affairs chairs wrote that providers of end-to-end encryption “will inevitably face directives to create backdoors and architectural changes that bypass or weaken encryption,” the minister’s spokesperson said the letter reflected “a misunderstanding of how Bill C-22 would function in practice.” When Signal said it would leave, it responded that the concerns regarding installing capabilities to enable surveillance are false. In other words, the government thinks everyone is wrong and the risk of market exits are overblown.

A few clips from the May 13th Sharia Free America Caucus

Posted on by

I will begin with Amy Mek’s testimony. It was stellar. So refreshing to see the issue plainly stated in Congress without weasel words. No, “Islamism”. No “Islamic extremism”. After all, as Sam Harris once said, “The problem with Islamic fundamentalism is the fundamentals of Islam”.

A truism as well as great rhetoric.
If you cannot name the enemy you cannot fight it. Another truism. Amy named it.

This fellow is 16. He busted a MSA effort at penetrating his rural high school. A plot to which the leftist administration was all to happy to assist with.

Rep. Glenn Grothman, Wisconsin’s 6th Congressional District discusses the Islamic element of America’s population and its reaction to the October 7th attacks in Israel.

And near the end, Congressman Chip Roy, a man who stood up against the various Covid measures and the vaxx like no one else in the Federal house had done, discusses the issue of Islam and sharia in the US both with Amy and a dhimmi useful idiot by the Muslim Brotherhood

The entire hearing can be seen here, where this is a lot of testimony not covered in these clips, some onside and a lot of classic leftist rhetorical devices by Democrats, who less than deftly deflect with a joiner-sentence and then blame everything on Donald Trump.

Typically this tactic is called “Whataboutism”. Previously known as the “Red Herring Fallacy”. I guess it could be a subset of Ignoratio Elenchi, the irrelevant conclusion fallacy but this new variant is so stupid that it is the people who fall for it that should be ashamed. 

The Gulag Archipelago, moral relativism and explaining why communist nations are so destructive

Posted on by

Occasionally in conversations with the willing about the nature of Communism, and how Western leaders are doing these things to us, and ultimately WHY they are doing these things to us, simply answering with teh word dialectics, is punishing the victim. Interestingly, that is actually not just the right answer, but why in fact these things are being done to the people of the formerly free west.

Below is a short excerpt from the Gulag Archipelago, where the reasoning of the torturers themselves is explained. By now it should appear familiar to all. Not just the sophisticated in the methods of the left, but all in the West who have observed what is being done to them with great bewilderment and horror, and shouted about as hypocrisy or corruption. It is of course neither. Corruption is a means to an ends. A way in which the temple can be torn down by destroying the systems that keep it up. But the goal, the telos, is the destruction of the temple. How is merely tactics.

The segment from the Gulag Archipelago:

It would also be incorrect to ascribe to 1937 the “discovery”
that the personal confession of an accused person was more im-
portant than any other kind of proof or facts. This concept had
already been formulated in the twenties. And 1937 was just
the year when the brilliant teaching of Vyshinsky came into its
own. Incidentally, even at that time, his teaching was transmitted
only to interrogators and prosecutors-for the sake of their
morale and steadfastness. The rest of us only learned about it
twenty years later-when it had already come into disfavor-
through subordinate clauses and minor paragraphs of newspaper
articles, which treated the subject as if it had long been widely
known to all.

It turns out that in that terrible year Andrei Yanuaryevich
(one longs to blurt out, “Jaguaryevich”) Vyshinsky, availing
himself of the most flexible dialectics (of a sort nowadays not
permitted either Soviet citizens or electronic calculators, since to
them yes is yes and no is no), pointed out in a report which
became famous in certain circles that it is never possible for
The Interrogation 101 mortal men to establish absolute truth, but relative truth only.

He then proceeded to a further step, which jurists of the last two
thousand years had not been willing to take: that the truth estab-
lished by interrogation and trial could not be absolute, but only,
so to speak, relative.

Therefore, when we sign a sentence ordering
someone to be shot we can never be absolutely certain, but only
approximately, in view of certain hypotheses, and in a certain
sense, that we are punishing a guilty person.

Thence arose the
most practical conclusion: that it was useless to seek absolute
evidence–for evidence is always relative-or unchallengeable
witnesses-for they can say different things at different times.
The proofs of guilt were relative, approximate, and the interro-
gator could find them, even when there was no evidence and no
witness, without leaving his office, “basing his conclusions not
only on his own intellect but also on his Party sensitivity,

his moral forces” (in other words, the superiority of someone who
has slept well, has been well fed, and has not been beaten up)
“and on his character” (Le., his willingness to apply cruelty!).
Of course, this formulation was much more elegant than
Latsis’ instructions. But the essence of both was the same.
In only one respect did Vyshinsky fail to be consistent and
retreat from dialectical logic: for some reason, the executioner’s
bullet which he allowed was not relative but absolute . …

Thus it was that the conclusions of advanced Soviet jurispru-
dence, proceeding in a spiral, returned to barbaric or medieval
standards. Like medieval torturers, our interrogators, prosecutors,
and judges agreed to accept the confession of the accused as the
chief proof of guilt.

However, the simple-minded Middle Ages used dramatic and picturesque methods to squeeze out the desired confessions: the
rack, the wheel, the bed of nails, impalement, hot coals, etc. In
the twentieth century, taking advantage of our more highly de-
veloped medical knowledge and extensive prison experience (and
someone seriously defended a doctoral dissertation on this
theme), people came to realize that the accumulation of such
impressive apparatus was superfluous and that, on a mass scale,
it was also cumbersome. And in addition . . .

In addition, there was evidently one other circumstance. As
always, Stalin did not pronounce that final word, and his sub-
ordinates had to guess what he wanted. Thus, like a jackal, he left
himself an escape hole, so that he could, if he wanted, beat a
retreat and write about “dizziness from success.” After all, for
the first time in human history the calculated torture of millions
was being undertaken, and, even with all his strength and power,
Stalin could not be absolutely sure of success.

In dealing with such an enormous mass of material, the effects of the experiment
might differ from those obtained from a smaller sample. An un-
foreseen explosion might take place, a slippage in a geological
fault, or even world-wide disclosure. In any case, Stalin had to
remain innocent, his sacred vestments angelically pure.
We are therefore forced to conclude that no list of tortures
and torments existed in printed form for the guidance of interro-
gators! Instead, all that was required was for every Interrogation
Department to supply the tribunal within a specified period with
a stipulated number of rabbits who had confessed everything.
And it was simply stated, orally but often, that any measures and
means employed were good, since they were being used for a
.lofty purpose; that no interrogator would be made to answer for
the death of an accused; and that the prison doctor should inter-
fere as little as possible with the course of the investigation.

So from all this it becomes clear that moral and cultural relativism was a dialectic we can all see was launched on the West to destroy our sacred beliefs and the value of ourselves as a people and a culture. We also see how doctors where made to follow state narratives on Covid, the vaxx, and now MAiD in an ends justifies the means moral relativistic framework which cedes massive amounts of power to the state which it should never, ever have.

And continues to agglomerate by the month across Western Europe and Canada.

A curious piece of Russian propaganda

Posted on by

This photo was seen on an enormous 2 story banner on the front of the Russian Embassy in Ottawa,

I had Google Translate turn the text on the image into English

The Russian translates into Happy Victory Day, and below, you see it say Adolph Hitler but upside down.

Soviet victory day was May 8th officially. So it’s reasonable that the banner would grace the Russian Embassy still today on the 13th.

But as I listen through the audiobook version (Available free on YouTube) of The Gulag Archipelago, The Soviet Union Vs. The Nazis are a distinction without a difference. Russian defeat of the Nazis ok. But what is the Russian leadership signalling here?

On Church fires, Canada, France and how to get past bans on seeing this site from the new Communist EU: Links 1 for May 13, 2026

Posted on by

1. A few questions for Grok that may give an idea about what Rule of Law was replaced with in Canada:

Q: How many Church fires were there in Canada from 2020 to 2025?

A:

Here’s the clearest answer for 2020 to end of 2025:Churches completely destroyed or rendered unusable by fire (2020–2025)Best documented total: Approximately 45–55 churches.

BreakdownPre-wave (2020 to May 2021): Around 14 churches destroyed by fire (baseline level).

en.wikipedia.org

May 2021 – December 2023 (peak residential school announcement wave): 33 churches completely burned to the ground (CBC investigation). Of these, 24 confirmed arsons, 5 suspected arsons, and only 2 accidental.

cbc.ca

2024–2025: Additional low double-digit complete destructions (roughly 8–15 more reported major incidents that left churches unusable), with arsons continuing at nearly double the historical baseline.

macdonaldlaurier.ca

Overall from 2020 to end-2025: The total number of churches that burned to the point of being unusable is in the mid-to-high 40s to low-to-mid 50s.Important NotesThese are complete or near-total losses (not minor fires or vandalism).
Broader figures you may see (100–123+) include all incidents: fires + serious vandalism + desecrations (Juno News, CCRL, etc.).

junonews.com

Total arsons (not just complete destruction) at religious institutions (mostly churches) were much higher — hundreds across the period — but many did not fully destroy the building.

macdonaldlaurier.ca

The wave started sharply after the May 2021 Kamloops announcement and has slowed but remains elevated through 2025.

Q: How many Mosque fires for that same period in Canada?

A:

Mosque fires in Canada from 2020 to end of 2025 were extremely rare compared to the wave of church fires.Clear SummaryTotal mosques completely destroyed or rendered unusable by fire (2020–2025): Very low — likely 0 to 2 documented cases of total destruction.
macdonaldlaurier.ca
There were occasional suspicious fires, arson attempts, or partial damage at mosques, but nothing approaching the scale seen with churches. Most incidents were investigated as isolated arsons (sometimes unrelated to hate) or remained unsolved with low media coverage.

Context from Reliable SourcesStatistics Canada and Macdonald-Laurier Institute reports on arsons at “religious institutions” (which include mosques, synagogues, temples, etc.) do not break out mosques separately in a way that shows a surge. The big increase in arsons since 2021 was overwhelmingly concentrated on Christian churches (especially Catholic ones linked to residential school issues).
macdonaldlaurier.ca
Broader “places of worship” arson totals (592 from 2010–2022) include all religions, but the post-2021 spike was driven by churches.
nationalpost.com
Individual incidents (e.g., a Toronto mosque fire investigated as arson but not classified as a hate crime, or older cases) exist, but there was no national wave of mosque destructions.

Bottom line comparison (2020–2025):Churches destroyed/unusable by fire: ~45–55
Mosques destroyed/unusable by fire: Near zero (low single digits at most for any fire damage)

Q: How many arrests/Convictions for the Church fires?

Very low numbers of arrests and convictions for the Canadian church fires (especially the post-2021 wave).Summary (2021–2025)Arrests/Charges: Around 50–60 people charged across hundreds of arson incidents at religious institutions (mostly churches).
macdonaldlaurier.ca
Convictions: Very few — likely fewer than 10 confirmed convictions for the major church arsons in this period. Many cases remain unsolved or result in plea deals with reduced charges.
en.wikipedia.org
Detailed Breakdown2021–2023 (peak period, ~33 churches completely destroyed, 24 confirmed arsons):Only 9 arrests directly linked to the 33 major fires (CBC investigation).
As of early 2024: 12 people charged total in relation to the arsons.
Convictions: 1–2 (e.g., one youth in Alberta for the Kehewin Cree church fire; a few others unrelated or mental health cases).
cbc.ca
2021–2024 broader data (Macdonald-Laurier Institute / Statistics Canada, covering 306 arsons at religious institutions):53 resulted in charges.
Overall clearance rate (charges + other resolutions): ~21%.
This is still very low compared to general arson clearance rates.
macdonaldlaurier.ca
2024–2025: A handful of additional charges (e.g., 3 people charged in Alberta in Sept 2025 for one church burning), but the solve rate remains poor.

Overall picture: Out of dozens of completely destroyed churches and hundreds of total incidents (fires + vandalism), the vast majority (over 95–96% in the early years) have no arrests. Motives are rarely clearly established even when charges are laid.

The low prosecution rate has been widely criticized as a major issue. Let me know if you want details on specific cases or a province-by-province breakdown.

Q: How many arrests/Convictions for Mosque fires?

For mosque fires/arsons in Canada (2020–2025), the numbers of arrests and convictions are extremely low — consistent with the very small number of actual mosque fires during this period.SummaryArrests/Charges: Very few — likely fewer than 5–10 total charges linked specifically to mosque arsons or fires across the entire 6-year period.
Convictions: Extremely rare — probably 1–3 confirmed convictions (most pre-2020 or minor cases). Many incidents were either not classified as hate-motivated, remained unsolved, or resulted in no charges.

ContextUnlike the wave of church arsons (hundreds of incidents, dozens of charges, but still low solve rate), mosque fires were isolated and infrequent.
When fires or arson attempts at mosques did occur, police often investigated them as general arson rather than hate crimes. Solve rates for arsons at places of worship overall are low (~21% clearance rate nationally).
High-profile older cases (e.g., the 2017 Hamilton mosque arson attempt) had convictions, but in the 2020–2025 window, documented arrests for mosque-specific arsons are scarce in public reporting.

Bottom line comparison (2020–2025):Church arsons ? Dozens of charges, very few convictions.
Mosque arsons ? Almost no charges or convictions, because the incidents themselves were far fewer.

The data is sparse because the baseline number of mosque fires was so low.

Q: How many charges for arson against Churches were considered a “hate crime”?

No — very few (and likely none) of the arson charges related to Canadian church fires were formally laid or prosecuted as hate crimes.Key Facts from Investigations

  • Macdonald-Laurier Institute report (2025): Explicitly states that none of the church arsons investigated up to that point had been classified as hate crimes in official statistics.
  • CBC investigation (2024): Out of 24 confirmed arsons (2021–2023), only 12 people were charged total. In the cases where charges were laid, no clear hate motive was established in the majority, and none appear to have included hate crime enhancements.
  • Notable examples:
    • The only early conviction (a youth in Alberta for the Kehewin Cree church fire) was for straight arson — not hate crime.
    • The Surrey, B.C. church arson conviction (woman sentenced in 2022) had no evidence presented that it was a hate crime.
    • Many perpetrators in charged cases were from Indigenous communities where the churches were located, which made hate-crime classification (targeting based on religion) more complicated.

Why So Few Hate Crime Charges?

  • Canadian hate crime provisions require clear evidence that the offence was motivated by bias, prejudice, or hate based on religion (or other protected characteristics).
  • In many church fire cases, motives were described as anger over residential school issues, general vandalism, mental health, or unclear — rather than explicit anti-Christian hatred.
  • Police and prosecutors have been reluctant to pursue the hate crime enhancement, even when politicians (e.g., Alberta Premier Jason Kenney in 2021) publicly called some incidents “hate crimes.”

Bottom line: While many people (including politicians and victims) described these arsons as hate-motivated, the criminal charges themselves were almost always just for arson, not hate crimes. This has been a point of significant criticism from groups tracking the incidents.

 

Fascinating. As Spock used to say.

Although I asked for numbers in Canada, clearly these policies of burning Churches and negating Christianity as well as importing and establishing Islam is a Communist/Globalist policy. You can assume the same things apply wherever you live. In Africa of course, they dont just burn the church. They are murdering the Congregation in numbers, and often taking the women as sex slaves. The REALITY of the world situation is in fact, too awful to allow oneself to believe from a comfortable apartment in Toronto or New York. Although I suspect both places will get a more direct experience of these kinds of understandings in the foreseeable future.

2. A video on France.

3. The following video seems off topic. But at a certain level, everything becomes a data point to a thesis on the philosophical equivalent of the Physics, Theory of Everything,

We did a little thing on how the Rolling Stone downgraded Eric Clapton’s ranking a couple of days ago, from their point of view, because he talked down the mRNA shots. In other words, a low level cancellation of him, the way the left cancels or otherwise tries to hurt ANYONE who is counter narrative.

Below is another example from the arts, this time from the New York Times. What is interesting to us is the perfect example of the dialectical term, “diversity”. Here you have several people who have different looks and sexuality, but are philosophically in perfect mono-culture, explaining who is and is not a good song writer and why.

Diversity is used as a way of destroying diversity in exactly the same way that the Human Rights Commission is an organ to destroy individual, or real human rights in favour of state narratives (research Jonathan Yaniv for quite enough evidence of that) and Health Canada advises doctors to offer death to more and more Canadian patients and for wider and more trivial reasons.

4. Lots of news of course about the Hanta Virus outbreak. No point in amplifying any of the specific narrative timeline points really. Search X for the subject and there will be lots there to keep people guessing, sniping and arguing over the issue. The only question of consequence from our PoV is, Is this an active measure, (almost certainly yes) and how will this narrative take form and perhaps most importantly, what freedoms will we lose as a consequence?

5. While we listen to state narratives about colonialism, white supremacy and so on, it’s fun to look at how the media manages to ignore the massive massive number of polls and interviews that reflect the Islamic view of how the West must be operated.

Thank you all for checking out this site.

I will do a post a little later on the situation with this site to the best of my understanding.

But for the moment, European readers are well advised to get and use a VPN. They should find one that doesn’t log, and they should find a way to pay for it as discreetly as possible because the COMINTERN EU/Oz will very likely make using a VPN illegal. That would probably be the best indicator so far that they have moved from a covert communist revolution to an overt one actually.

Using a VPN won’t necessarily solve all the problems of accessing this site. But it will make it at least possible. Many European IPs ban this site at state request. A VPN will solve that issue. And if you believe you have the right to hear and see opinions other than state sanctioned ones, for the moment a VPN will give you back that right.

Once upon a time, the US navy created a browser called TOR, which is still functioning. Its purpose is to allow people access to sites the state forbade. Like in North Korea for instance. This is free.

Grok offers the following:

Yes, Tor Browser is still very much alive and actively maintained in 2026.Quick Answers to Your Questions:

  1. Does the Tor Browser still exist?
    Yes. The latest stable version is Tor Browser 15.0.10 (released April 2026). You can download it from the official site: https://www.torproject.org/download/
  2. Is it effectively a VPN?
    No. Tor is not a VPN.

    • A VPN routes your traffic through one server (usually owned by the VPN company) and encrypts it.
    • Tor routes your traffic through multiple volunteer-run relays (usually 3) in a layered “onion” fashion.
      Tor is designed primarily for anonymity, while a VPN is designed primarily for privacy + speed.
  3. Can it be used technically speaking by Europeans?
    Yes, it is completely legal in all European Union countries, the UK, and most of Europe.
    Using Tor Browser itself is legal. What you do while using it can be illegal (just like with a regular browser).

Summary:

  • Tor Browser is alive and well.
  • It is stronger for anonymity than most VPNs, but slower and not suitable for streaming or high-speed tasks.
  • It is perfectly legal for Europeans to use.
will TOR allow a person to get to a site that ttheir ISP blocks at state request?

Yes, Tor Browser is very effective at bypassing ISP blocks that are requested or enforced by the state/government.How well it works:

  • Standard ISP blocks (DNS blocking, IP blocking, etc.): Tor usually bypasses them very well.
  • It works by routing your traffic through multiple relays in different countries, so your ISP (and the state) cannot easily see which website you’re actually visiting.
  • This is one of the main reasons Tor exists — to defeat censorship.

However a VPN is the right choice if you plan to break geoblocking, such as watching a news clip only available in some location or other. If you use for example, AIR VPN, which is a reliable VPN that doesn’t log, then you can easily pick your proxy server to get around a geoblock and instruct the internet to see you as wherever you say you are.

AIR VPN is a little finicky to set up but most people can do it if they breathe deeply and do one step at a time thinking about what they see. Use Eddie client for easiest list of servers and locations to use. Pick the Wireguard option if you are a little more tech savvy. Wireguard is a little more stable as a connection.

I had written a lot more about this earlier, but this site is not working well for me either, and each time I try and save or publish, it vanishes. The word, frustration doesn’t cover it.

We are working on a solution now.

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.

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.

 

The “Christian Nationalist” element in information warfare explained

Posted on by

Rep. Mike Belcher is one of the most interesting out there in the counter-revolution. We link to his Substack quite often and recommend his videos a lot.

Today he posted this little Tweet which twigged a memory of congressional hearings in February where this exact trope was used to try and undermine the testimony of Robert Spencer and others on the factual and historical dangers of Islam and its adherents to Western Civilization, and in particular, the United States.

Link to article:

Excerpt:

There are many people who want you to fear the idea that America’s founding metaphysics are Christian. They promote the dialectical political warfare operation known as “Christian Nationalism.”

The term “Christian Nationalism” is generally undefined and utilized as a “floating signifier.” This is a political warfare concept where a label with a nebulous definition is slandered and coded as evil—placed outside the Overton Window as taboo—in order to apply it to any variety of political opponents at opportune times to negate their political will. They have done the same thing with the word “racist,” where they changed the understood, reasonable definition of color-based hatreds into something only definable, and therefore only operational, by and for Leftist “experts.” The mechanism is identical: create a term sufficiently vague that it can be affixed to anyone who threatens the revolution, sufficiently terrifying that the accusation alone produces social death, and sufficiently undefined that no defense against it is possible because the goalposts are never fixed. 

Well we certainly post about these efforts on a near constant basis. In fact the definition of dialectics, well a sort of narrow operational one anyway, is posted in the Reader’s Links every day for now.

But this caught our attention because of Congressional hearings by the Sharia Free America Caucus that took place in February, where the entire effort to explain Islam as a threat doctrine was undermined by a Democrat who attempted to use the Christian Nationalist trope as a deflection from the real dangers of Islam.

She was well and properly refuted:
