A short survey of the main international actors before the coming crisis

Looking at all the nonsense filling the news recently (Presidential debates in the USA, the dying EU with a Nobel prize, etc.) I get a feeling that we are living through a proverbial “calm before the storm” and that is a good opportunity to make a quick survey of the situation of the main actors of the coming crisis.The EU: contrary to what we see in media reports, the EU

Request for assistance: Karadzic trial

Dear friends, I am trying to locate the statement made yesterday by Radovan Karadzic at the opening of his defense at his trial in The Hague.  I am also looking for the statement/testimony of Col. Andrey Demurenko made on the same day.  Any help in locating these documents (in whatever language, including Serbian or Russian) would be greatly appreciated.  Many thanks and kind regards, The Saker

Speech of Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on October 11, 2012

I take refuge in Allah from the stoned devil. In The Name of Allah, The Most Compassionate, The Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, The Lord of the World. Peace be upon our Master and Prophet – the Seal of prophets – Abi Al Qassem Mohammad and on his chaste and pure Household, his chosen companions and on all prophets and messengers. Peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and

Mujahideen-e Khalq goes from “terrorist” to “freedom fighter” in perparation for war on Iran

Just as it had done with the KLA before the US/NATO war on Serbia, the USA is about to take the local terrorist group, in this case the Mujahideen-e Khalq, off its official terror list.  That makes sense politically and it is legally necessary to make it easier to fund, train and otherwise assist it: US assistance to various terrorist groups worldwide is usually provided only covertly which, of course,

And now, a word from an enlightened secularist

I hesitated for a while before posting this, but ugly as this guy is, he does deserve to be better known.  For one thing, Pat Condell  makes no secret of his rabid hatred for Islam, Christianity and any other religion or, for that matter, anybody religious.  He is an iconic example of what I would call the “degenerate Crusader“: he is still filled with the condescending arrogance of his Frankish

French magazing to publish “shocking caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed”

Amazing. According to Ha’aretz, A French satirical weekly magazine announced Tuesday it would publish caricatures depicting the Prophet Mohammed, a move that could spark further protests by Muslims already enraged at an internet video insulting Islam.   Stephane Charbonnier, editor of the weekly Charlie Hebdo, told broadcaster iTele that the caricatures to appear Wednesday “would shock those who wanted to be shocked.” He said the decision was aimed at defending freedom

Speech of Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Sunday, September 16, 2012.

In The Name of Allah, The Most Compassionate, The Most Merciful. Peace be upon our Master and Prophet – the Seal of prophets – Abi Al Qassem Mohammad and on his chaste and pure Household, his chosen companions and on all prophets and messengers. Peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings. My word today will primary tackle what we have witnessed during the past few days – namely

Mitt Romney – the man who makes even Dubya look educated, articulate and smart

Priceless no? Though that cretin pretty much gets everything wrong, I fundamentally agree with at least one of his key points: a two-state solution is neither possible nor morally acceptable. The only solution is ONE state, called Palestine.  As for the “Zionist regime occupying Jerusalem” must, of course, “vanish from the page of time” as Ayatollah Khomeini so accurately put it. God willing, soon. The Saker

The Moslem World’s Rage; Justified or Misplaced?

by Soraya Sepahpour-Ulrich  Media outlets are abuzz with news of the Moslem world’s rage over the release of the provocative film “Innocence of Moslems”. Pundits are quick to condemn the protests across 20 nations, and the gullible and callous citizens of the “West”, mimicking pundits who are paid to mislead and misinform, are placing the blame on the aggrieved Moslem community – they simply don’t understand how “free speech” works

Russia is considering shutting down YouTube

According to the very official Rossiiskaia Gazeta quoting the Russian Minister of Communications the Kremlin is seriously considering shutting down YouTube.  They could do that under a new law called “On the defense of children against information which can damage their health or development”.  Furthermore, the Russian agency in charge of communications has already demanded that Internet service providers block the streaming of “Innocence of Muslims” on the grounds that

First impressions – and misgivings – in reaction to Hassan Nasrallah’s speech today

I have been studying Hezbollah since 1995 and I don’t recall Hassan Nasrallah ever delivering such a strongly worded warning as what he did today at the “Prophet Loyalty Rally”.  I might be mistaken, but I see several unprecedented elements in his speech today: 1.  First, he clearly and unambiguously threated the USA and its Empire by stating that the consequences for releasing the full movie “Innocence of Muslims” would

Extremely strong words by Hassan Nasrallah at the “Prophet Loyalty Rally “

These are uncharacteristically strong words form the Hezbollah leader and I wonder if that is not also a way of preparing the Middle-East for a US attack on Iran. In the meantime, one of the most pathetic US puppets in Lebanon, Amin Gemayel, actually took the risk of condemning Hassan Nasrallah and, once again, that just makes me marvel at systematic way the Lebanese Phalangists always end up on the

Musings on Pussy Riot , “Sam Bacile” and modern “blasphemers”

Having forced myself to watch the full “performance” of Pussy Riot’s “punk prayer” and “Sam Bacile”‘s short movie “Innocence of Muslims” I want to share with you some thoughts I had on issue of blasphemy. Wikipedia defines blasphemy as “the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for a religious deity or the irreverence towards religious or holy persons or things“. Dictionary.com offers this definition: “impious utterance

Statement of the Head of the Islamic Republic of Iran Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei

In the name of Allah the most Gracious, most Merciful Allah the Dear an the Wise said: “Fain would they extinguish Allah’s light with their mouths, but Allah will not allow but that His light should be perfected, even though the Unbelievers may detest.” O Iranian people, o Islamic Ummah The vicious hands of the enemies of Islam had once again uncovered it’s malice by offending the noble prophet (PBUH);

A Coptic trail to a “flase flag movie”?

Today the net is full of articles expressing doubts about the fact that the person behind the latest anti-Islamic movie is a US-Israeli Jew.  A Coptic/Egyptian trail is often mentioned.  Various sources also doubt the 5 million dollar figure for the production of the movie. All these rumors can be tracked to one source: a, quote, “Christian activist” named Steve Klein, I kid you not… Does that mean that the
