The situation in Russia, by the way, is VERY rapidly deteriorating. But, at least, the Russian leadership has been warning about that for weeks now, and Moscow took some very effective measures. Anyway, see for yourself how it is “just like a seasonal flu”:
by Ramin Mazaheri for The Saker blog I’m only three years from being a Millennial myself but, wow! They sure have had a much rougher go of it: Most of them were teenagers when the “victory” of the “leader of the free world” came crashing down on 9/11. Jingoistic hysteria against (fictitious, always Pentagon-supported) Islamic radicalism was followed by the Great Recession. The alleged “economic recovery” was always limited to
The following is the full text of a televised speech delivered on April 9, 2020 by Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, on the occasion of the 15th of Sha’ban. In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and peace and greetings be upon our Master Muhammad, and upon his pure household May the auspicious
RT just posted an article entitled “Sanders joins Biden livestream to give full-throated ENDORSEMENT” which begins like this: Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders made a surprising appearance on former Vice President joe Biden’s livestream to give the rival for the Democrat presidential nomination an enthusiastic endorsement against President Donald Trump. Denouncing Trump as a “racist, sexist, homophobe” who “lies all the time,” Sanders announced he was now supporting Biden’s presidential bid.
Dear friends, The good news is that a lot of you have asked to join. The bad news is that I am a dodo-brain and that I did complicate things unnecessarily. So here is what Fedor and I have decided: First, all those who want to subscribe need to send an email to Fedor with your Telegram name/handle; that means that you need to sign up to Telegram first and
Dear crybabies, I think I need to explain a few things to you: First, the Saker blog is the Saker‘s blog and not your blog or a public blog. So your First Amendment rights don’t apply here. Cry me a river! Second, you are mistaken if you think you got “censored” for your views or ideas. In fact, except for clear cases of racism (this is the only “view” I

Dear friends, I have good news: It is now possible for you to talk directly with me on my Telegram channel! As I have already explained in the past, my have canceled my mailing list and replaced it with a Telegram channel. I have spoken to my friend (Fedor) who so kindly created the channel and we decided to add a interaction capability to the channel. However, and especially in
by Denis A. Conroy for The Saker Blog A ‘thing’ is a ‘thing’ because it’s not something else. The ‘thing’ we are presently preoccupied with is the coronavirus, a thing that has become the scourge that presently eclipses every other scourge, even the Western Worlds’ penchant for continuous warfare. The self-incarcerated multitude…of which I am one…might well wonder (at this time) what lies around the next corner. Some of us in

It’s a haunting and even frightening song, and while that makes it sound like some lame emo band we must remember that it’s being
by Nick Byrne for The Saker Blog “Russia is such a dangerous country! Why did you come here? How have you managed to survive?» I’ve heard these and similar comments from pessimistic locals, when they learned that I moved from Canada to Russia nearly six years ago. While St. Petersburg is a very safe city by any standard, I’m an active traveler, outdoors sports enthusiast, and I’ve lived in and
This image shows specialized personnel burying COVID19 corpses in a mass grave on Hart Island. And since morgues in NY are full, there is also a plan to bury bodies in NY parks, at least temporarily. Yes, it is “just like the seasonal flu”. UPDATE: I received two emails by readers who know this location well, and they explained to me that this is the place were unclaimed bodies are
by Eric Zuesse for The Saker Blog According to Gallup’s samplings and calculations, the actual number of Americans who had the Coronovirus-19 infection on April 3rd was certainly not the 239,279 which was reported, but instead was probably at least 730,000. However, three neoconservatives — such as Matthew Pottinger, the top advisor to U.S. President Donald Trump regarding China policy — fed to the neoconservative Michael Bloomberg’s neoconservative Bloomberg News

by Eric Zuesse for The Saker Blog News has only gradually seeped out that the Minsk II agreement, to find a peaceful way to end the war between Ukraine and its breakaway far eastern Donbass region, collapsed on March 26th. It was an agreement which Francois Hollande of France and Angela Merkel of Germany had established with Vladimir Putin of Russia, on 11 February 2015, in Minsk, Belarus. U.S. President
Dear friends, As I have explained recently, the Saker Community, the Saker blog and my family have been negatively affected by the SARS-COV-2/COVID19 pandemic. Even though most of us are still in good health, our environment has changed in many ways (we had to totally shut down our small business for 2 months at least, probably many more!). Furthermore, the future looks bleak, especially economically. So let me clarify something
by Stephen Karganovic for The Saker Blog In Serbia, severely restrictive measures taken ostensibly to combat the corona virus pandemic are turning increasingly into a cover for the persecution not only of political critics but also religious leaders who refuse to abide by government decrees effectively abolishing collective Orthodox worship during Lent. Last week, the regime’s target was Republican Party leader Nikola Sandulović. On Saturday, April 4, it was the
Dear friends, Please check out this screenshot: The gentlemen on the right is Rinat Maksiutov, General Director of the State Research Center of Virology and Biotechnology Vektor. Last time I posted an interview by a US specialist, I was told that he was part of the system, a liar with a stake in lying. Fine, please look up the following to get an idea of what Vector was and is:
