Poroshenko’s speech in front of the Imperial Senate (MUST WATCH!)
I know, it is nauseating, but still, please do watch it. What Poroshenko is saying is that which the US deep state is thinking and, as such, it deserves our utmost attention (even if that means grabbing a psychological barf bag).And for those of you who might get seriously distressed by this sickening and hate-filled ceremony, I have included a short video showing that this nothing new: senates have always
Ukraine SITREP September 18, 17:30 UTC/Zulu: infighting everywhere
The situation in the Ukraine today is one of chaotic infighting in Novorussia and Banderastan.Novorussia: Aleksandr Zakharchenko The first sign of trouble became visible with Strelkov had to urgently come back to Donetsk to prevent the behind-the-scenes negotiations apparently taking place between some officials of the DNR and Ukie oligarchs including Akhmetov. Then came the news of the sudden removal of Strelkov followed by an almost simultaneous removal of most

The original version of this post was published on the Oceania Saker Blog who spearheaded the effort to translate this most important document proving, if needed, that one can be down under and yet at the very top at the same time!

Uniat priests calls for depriving Orthodox from basic civil rights
I just saw this one on YouTube and it is very good. Here what it says about this video in the “About” section of the YouTube page: (with original spelling).“UA priest calls to deprive parishioners of Moscow Patriarchate churhces of rights to be elected and work in official organizations. A bit ironic, as in fact he talks not about churches in Russia, but canonical local Ukrainian Orthodox Christian Church which

On a lighter note: the BBC propaganda is still the best
Actually, there is some very serious stuff taking place – infighting in the Novorussian leadership is getting worse and worse but I need time to write up something more or less coherent. So that is for later today or tomorrow.In the meantime, here are a few short ones:The BBC is the best!I saw the following to on the BBC’s website yesterday: “This was ferocious work, involving more precise firepower than
More short news items, a few comments and a quote by Felix Derzhinsky
Elections in Russia: the turnout was good, the result a crushing victory for Putin’s party. There is exactly zero signs of a “Russian Maidan”. The popularity of Putin is as high as ever and much, much higher than the popularity of any western leader. The Putin-bashers everywhere have clearly failed to even have a marginal impact.Fall session of the Duma: all the party leaders spoke and all agree that harboring
Obama’s Smart Syria Play
by Fulan Nasrullah If you ask me I will tel you that America watched the Cancer of Al-Baghdadi and his Islamic State spread from Syria back into Iraq to create an excuse to bomb Bashar Al-Assad in Syria. How? Remember earlier Obama wanted to carry out airstrikes against Syria’s government in retaliation for a highly questionable chemical attack, despite the fact that earlier in 2013 Iraq arrested over 150 Islamic
A couple of short news items
Dear friends,I couple of short ones today.First, according to the EU Parliament member Wolfgang Gerke (sp?) the EU is debating making a list of Russian journalists to be barred from entering the EU. Banderastan already has such a black list with 35 names. So much for “democratic” and “European” “free speech” values. The Russian press is openly laughing. Feel the love! Second, those who had any doubts about where the

Listening to Lavrov giving up on the West
Yesterday, I watched with interest a talkshow called “The Right to Know” which featured an hour long interview with Sergei Lavrov (those who understand Russian can watch it here). It was an interesting exchange between Lavrov and five Russian reporters. It was not important enough to warrant translating it all into English, but I want to share with you something which I had noticed in the past but which was

Return of the Magyars: Hungary’s President Calls Out the US as Morally and Financially Bankrupt
Note from The Saker: amongst my many blind spots and list of topics I know practically nothing about there is, to my great shame, the topic of Hungarian politics. Therefore please address your comments, criticisms and reactions (and thanks!!!) to American Kulak but not to me. I am most definitely the least qualified to say anything at all about this. Cheers and enjoy! The Saker——- Return of the Magyars: Hungary’s President
Warning to all readers
Dear friends,Some of you may have noticed that a few comments have been posted here accusing me of spreading the rumor of Strelkov’s death. The same nonsense has also been posted elsewhere on the Internet.Just to make things clear, I was told about these rumors this morning from several readers. I replied to them that I did not believe that this was true. The origin of these rumors might be
Strelkov: from swimming with Piranhas to swimming with Great White sharks
INTRODUCTION: Yesterday’s press conference by Strelkov is, I believe, a historical moment because it marks the move of Strelkov from the Novorussian military struggle into the much larger, and far more dangerous struggle, the struggle for the political future of Russia. This in itself is no necessarily unexpected, but the way he did it was a surprise, at least for me. But before I zoom out to the bigger picture,
Short news update (UPDATED)
Dear friends,I have heard the news that Igor Strelkov has been found dead, apparently hanged. A lot of you have emailed me. While I cannot prove a negative, so far NOT A SINGLE RUSSIAN OR NOVORUSSIAN SOURCE HAS CONFIRMED THIS including his friend el-Miurid. So I suggest that we take a deep breath, say a prayer, and wait before coming to conclusionsAlso, I am working on my analysis and I
The Terrorist in Chief by David Rovics
David is still, in my opinion, the “beautiful voice of the American Resistance”. I wrote about him in 2009, then I interviewed him, then I met him. He still makes me laugh, and cry and hope.The Saker “Obama gave a speech, I wrote a song.” Terrorist In Chief It’s September 11th and Obama gave a speech On the War on Terror and its mighty reach The arm of the law
Request for assistance: Strelkov press conference media coverage
Dear friends,I promised myself that I would go away from the keyboard but I could not, there is just so much going on! I am working on a analysis/commentary of the Strelkov press conference and I could need some help here. Can you help me find out which media did cover it and how?For example, not a single Russian TV channel has said a word about it, at least so
