Geopolitical tectonic plates shifting, six months on

by Pepe Escobar, posted with the author’s permission and widely cross-posted Six months after the start of the Special Military Operation (SMO) by Russia in Ukraine, the geopolitical tectonic plates of the 21st century have been dislocated at astonishing speed and depth – with immense historical repercussions already at hand. To paraphrase T.S. Eliot, this is the way the (new) world begins, not with a whimper but a bang. The

In Memoriam: Daria Dugina (a MUST READ)

By Batiushka for The Saker blog The news of the Western-sponsored terrorist murder of Alexander Dugin’s daughter, Daria, has shocked us all. Of course, in one sense it is no different from all the other brutal murders carried out by drone by the Obama regime, or the CIA’s disposal of countless human-beings under their puppet regimes from the Philippines to Vietnam, from Italy to Latin America, from Greece to Africa,

Leaked slides detail YouTube’s Ukraine censorship – journalist

RT reports: Posting screenshots from an internal training course reportedly cost a Polish contractor his job © Thiago Prudêncio / SOPA Images / LightRocket via Getty Images A tutorial for YouTube’s content moderators that emerged on social media on Tuesday shows that the Google-owned platform has labeled a number of critical positions on the conflict in Ukraine “hateful” or “extreme” and can censor or demonetize creators on those grounds. While

Western ruling elites have Dariia Dugina’s blood on their hands

The murder of Dariia Dugina triggered the now quite predictable reaction from the collective West: total indifference.  This is hardly something new.  The West not only put a Nazi regime in power in Kiev, it supported it by all means possible while that regime did all of the following: Used its armed forces in an internal civil war, which is (was?) banned under the Ukrainian constitution which resulted in about

Alexander Dugin, the Shi’a, and the Iranian People

by Mansoureh Tajik for the Saker blog The explosion that killed Darya Dugina, Alexander Dugin’s daughter, was a hybrid crime of “hit, miss, and warn”. May God Rest Darya’s soul. May God Grant Darya’s father and family peace and serenity in their lives and hearts. Furthermore, May God Cut off the terrorist hands that were involved, in any way, shape, and form, and dry out their roots from this planet.

The Conflict Between The West And Russia Is A Religious One

by Emmet Sweeney for the Saker blog The war currently underway in Ukraine, which pits Ukraine as a proxy for the collective West against Russia, is primarily an ideological or religious one, with Russia representing what is left of Christian Europe, and “the West” representing a totalitarian ideology that abhors religion in general and Christianity in particular. This statement may sound strange, given the fact that some Westerners – though

Faina Savenkova: It is impossible for such a site to exist

by Faina Savenkova for the Saker blog It is impossible for such a site to exist, and its owners are not responsible for their actions. Journalist Daria Dugina was killed in Russia on Saturday night. I would hardly have known who she was if my friends hadn’t told me that she and her father, Alexander Dugin, were included on the Mirotvorets website, and everyone knew their details. Of course, you

DENAZIFICATION – ACT I… The Great Patriotic War as Seen Through Soviet Cinema

Notes and reflections by Nora Hoppe with contributions by Tariq Marzbaan for the Saker blog DENAZIFICATION – ACT I… The Great Patriotic War as Seen Through Soviet Cinema – for Today’s Battle against Amnesia As the western world descends ever deeper into a morass of ignorance, stupidity, obliviousness and inanity, accelerated by wilful amnesia and the cancellation of history and Russian culture, we feel it is indispensable to rekindle, commemorate

Fly like an eagle, Darya Dugina

by Pepe Escobar, posted with the author’s permission and widely cross-posted Darya Dugina, 30, daughter of Alexander Dugin, a smart, strong, ebullient, enterprising young woman, whom I met in Moscow and had the honor to cherish as a friend, has been brutally murdered. As a young journalist and analyst, one could see she would carve for herself a glowing path towards wide recognition and respect (here she is on feminism).

Ukraine update: Dugina murder and blacklisting of Roger Waters

The FSB confirms: Dariia Dugina was murdered by the SBU (Machine translation) The FSB reported on the identification of the customers and perpetrators of the murder of Daria Dugina. The murder was planned by the Ukrainian special services. The direct perpetrator of the murder was a citizen of Ukraine Natalia Vovk, born in 1979, who left Russia for Estonia on August 21. She arrived in Russia on July 23. It

Short message from Andrei

Dear friends, Two quick messages: First, by now most of you have heard that Alexander Dugin’s daughter has been murdered in a car bomb.  The target was clearly Dugin himself.  All I want to say at this point is that Dugin never was the “‘Russian world’ ideologue“ as RT so stupidly wrote.  (The same goes for another supposed “ideologue of the Russian world” German Sterligov). How many times did you

Two Lives: Victoria and Victorine

By Batiushka for The Saker blog Victoria Victoria Jane Nuland was born in 1961 to Sherwin Nudelman, the son of Ukrainian Jewish immigrants, and a British-born mother, Rhona Goulston. Already in his teens Nudelman had changed his name to Nuland in order to carve out a career. With the British-named Victoria, an Anglo-Zionist was clearly in the making. Indeed, she duly studied at an elite private boarding school in Connecticut, whose alumni

Week-end music or some beauty and joy in our tragic times…

Today I want to share a few musical gems with you with the hope that you will enjoy them as much as I do! First, I want to share a superb version of “The Water is Wide” by Tommy Emmanuel and Stephen Bennett.  Tommy Emmanuel is an accomplished multi-style guitarist whom I very much appreciate, especially when he plays acoustic (his electric guitar music is much less interesting).  Before seeing
