Vietnam, hate speech laws is shooting yourself in the face, a brilliant moment on Sky News: Links 1 for Oct. 4, 2025

A quick note on the situation in Vietnam.

There are a lot of videos explaining how the Vietnamese state has closed the bank accounts of millions and millions of people who refused to get a digital ID.

I have spoken to two Vietnamese people now, one of whom is a recent immigrant and still has lots of ties back to Vietnam, and another Canadian of Vietnamese heritage, but is deep within the Vietnamese expat community in Ontario.

Both people I spoke to, and let me be clear, in a casual and unrelated to an interview style settings, both agreed with the following.

The bank accounts were not closed, but they were made inaccessible to the people who held the accounts pending presentation of the new digital ID, to access their account.

The main problem with the entire thing (no comment was made on the nature of the digital ID at all by either interlocutor) was that 80%, they speculated, could not afford a smart phone capable of holding and using the digital ID. Most Vietnamese who have a cell phone, have a dumb phone without internet capability, one of them explained.

Lots could be said about this beyond these facts. But this does change the complexion of the issue slightly. In Canada, this won’t be a problem. Most people will get the digital ID to keep what shards of their life together they still have since the revolution. The percentage of people, probably around 20% who resisted the injections will try and resist this just as hard. But being homeless is a bigger threat with refusing the digital ID than it was the shots. After all, by increments we have allowed the state to inject itself into everything such that, when Trudeau and I think Carney as well said something like: “We will use the full power of the state”, they meant everything. Regulatory bodies like the colleges and professional associations, licensing agencies, the banks, military, police, teachers, fire departments and so on. “Resistance”, as the Borg like to say, “is futile”. Except that it isn’t if enough people really resist for long enough. I don’t know if Canadians have the stomach for that though. But I absolutely do know we will find out and soon. Stand by for an interview with Canadian constitutional lawyer, John Carpay, sometime this weekend at RAIR Foundation. That will tell you a lot about where Canada for example, is now.

1. Here, Victor Davis Hansen refers to what Donald Trump is doing as a “counter-revolution”. He is of course 100% correct. We have been arguing that for around 7 years now. Hansen also predicts a massive and “unhinged” reaction from the left. I don’t think any bookie would think there are odds that this won’t happen.

2. If only the Greek Socratic and Aristotelian citizens would take to the streets to counter these Greek Platonists

3. This has to be a peak moment for Sky News for all time. Chances are lots of people will lose their jobs over it, Truth after all, is the only real crime in the West. And every word that this man said was factually correct as detailed in Islamic Scripture.

4. Premiere of Quebec says something appearing to be in defence of Western values, but hidden behind TWO deceptive terms, negating the value of anything he appears to say of any real value.

Quebec Premier Warns of ‘Radical Islamists’ in Speech Before National Assembly

Quebec Premier François Legault said the province is under threat from Islamists seeking to undermine Quebec’s values in his inaugural speech before the National Assembly.

Legault said in his Sept. 30 speech that “radical Islamists” are attempting to impose their own values and challenge those of the Quebec people, and he cited women’s right to equality as an example.
“We must be very clear on this, we are not going to let anyone attack the freedom dearly acquired by Quebec women for decades,” Legault said.

Legault, who leads the Coalition Avenir Quebec, added that his government would take “all possible means to counter the attacks against our common values.” He said that while immigrants are an “asset” to the province, the federal government should control immigration rates to ensure the country’s capacity is not overburdened.

The Quebec government, which aims to maintain secularism in the province, has implemented some policies that have impacted Muslim communities.

Islam is the problem. To quote Sam Harris: “The problem with Islamic fundamentalism are the fundamentals of Islam.” He is 100% correct. Islam can be known by its scripture, history and contemporary actions and sermons around the world. Radical Muslims, meaning ones who are way outside the mainstream, are the ones who WANT to integrate into Western or other non-islamic cultures. This is a fact. There is also no such thing as an “Islamist” just as there is no such thing as a “Naziist”. You are either a Nazi or you are not. There is no Nazi extremism, or even more stupidly, “Naziist”. Even Erdogan scoffed at that one stating there is only Islam.

To couch his rhetoric in these terms could be said to be the true definition of populism. Trying to say something to appease the growing number of Canadians that are starting to get the Islamic threat, and oppose it. Now they can believe they have a leader who will represent that. But he will not.

Here is how it will really go:

Any attempt at secularism laws will impact:

Jews. Christians. Hindus. Sikhs but not Muslims. Not a single hijab or burka will be removed. Not a single Muslim will be told to look secular or lose their fat government job or GONGO (Government operated Non-Governmental Organization) position. The reasoning ill look something like it being discriminatory to apply these laws to Muslims because hate crimes… Muslims can’t work if they don’t… therefore…

This already happened in Belgium. And France already has the most stringent secularism laws in the World since Ataturk’s Turkey fell back int the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood. Ataturk actually knew how to handle Islam and it worked. Quebec though, like the rest of Canada (jury is out on Alberta) is on the other side. Any reference to solving a problem is to make it worse.

5. There are however, a few Montrealers that have the wit and courage to do the one thing which is at least, temporarily legal and effective against the blood thirsty howling Islamic and leftist mobs.

Thank you all for following this site and considering its world view.

We don’t take quite the same approach as other sites. While we do quite genuinely believe that exposing the truth against the narratives is very important and legitimately dangerous work, as it gets people de-licensed, De-banked and occasionally on some kind of charges, and while we fully support the efforts of various YouTubers and social media people showing what is actually going on in the streets in contrast to media reports of events, yes, these ARE VERY important, we feel that to one degree or another, this is often a kind of allowable counter-narrative. That without understanding of the enemy tools, we inadvertently help the enemy.

Think of the people you know who oppose the massive amounts of antisemitism common today in universities, among the left and Muslims who believe the solution is hate speech laws. They are 100% controlled opposition/useful idiots. This is equally true if they are aware of it, or not.

The state has the tools it needs already, more than they even should have, to deal with this problem. Instead, the Trudeau/Carney state imports it, funds it, adds accelerants to it, and gives assistance with leftists militias like ANTIFA and BLM. The idea is to get the naive to demand more laws, which means less individual liberties. This makes a substantial fraction of the Jewish community, builders of their own gallows, as many Jewish people, being firm and yet naive believers in the integrity of the state, will be the loudest in demanding laws be created, which will not only not help them, but by applied against them when they even try and report on horrific events done to them by Muslims. Anyone who doesn’t believe this just needs to listen to any victim of the child-sex-slave gangs run by Muslims in the UK.

Actually NM here is one amazing example below.

This was years ago. The UK already has lots of laws against rape, kidnapping, sex slavery, slavery in general and a dozen or more laws covering these crimes. But when the child victim, her mother or social worker tried to explain it was Muslim sex-slave gangs that did this to her, listen to what the police did and said.

And in fact it is already happening to Jews. In Manchester every effort was made by the BBC to suppress the fact that it was Islamic Jihad.
