Dear friends,
FYI – here is an email exchange I had this morning with a friend which I hope might be of some relevance to those of you who might be contemplating the possibility to send some money to help the people of Novorossia.
Kind regards,
The Saker

Hi Saker, I’ve commented on your blog occasionally. Thanks for providing that forum for us.
I saw on another blog ( http://sovietoutpost.revdisk.
Would it possible, with your contacts, to find out how we, your readers, can donate to this effort – or if not this, then one like it? (I wish there was some way to get water to those people trapped in the besieged towns. But of course, the US/UKR powers-that-be are blocking any aid to them.) I’ve read warnings from some in SE Ukraine against donating to any efforts there, as the money will disappear down a Ukrainian black hole of corruption. But since Strelkov himself mentioned this one, it sounds like it might be worth looking into.
Thank you so much for any info you can dig up on this.
Thanks a lot for your email, your interesting info (I never heard of this Strelkov’s Spetsnaz) and for your kind and generous offer to help them. However, I have to agree that you should not send money to the Ukraine and my contacts there have specifically warned me against doing so. I wanted to send money to the refugee kids and my contacts replied with a categorical “NO!” because of the amazing corruption there. However, and just to make you feel a little less sad, I can tell you that there is a lot of money in Russia and there are folks in Russia who are truly awash in money who can send it to Strelkov if they want to. It is true that Strelkov and his men, as well as the local population in Slaviansk and Kramatorsk, do have shortages, but that is because Russia is really trying hard not to intervene openly at this point. But I am confident that if/when needed they will be able to get the help they need.
The best thing you (and I) can do at this point is to circulate the information about the true state of affairs in the Ukraine. There is an “information war” going on and we need all the help we can get in this information war. If you use Facebook or Twitter – then post as much info about the Ukraine as you can, if not – then create a mailing list, write to your friends, start a blog, write to editors of news mags, etc. etc. etc. The louder the “rumble” of our protest the better.
It is especially important to denounce the West’s mind-boggling hypocrisy and double-standards and to demand basic justice for the people of the Ukraine and also demand that the regime in Kiev behave like a civilized one and not like a gang of lawless freaks.
Sooner or later such action will be considered as “aiding terrorists”. But you might already get attention of secret services in puppet European countries.
The U.S. government would consider any help from Americans to the people of Donbass as helping “terrorists”.
You are correct that what we all need to do is spread the “truth” from solid sources, and to expand the intelligent discussion to educate the ignorant.
I would like to see a “work group” of translators from around the globe who could translate into English, then German, then Chinese all the source material of the truth of the war and the Donbass position.
We could help accomplish that with donations to Saker and then profession materials could be disbursed across the Internet for billions of people to see and hear and read the truth.
I know many of you have a strong desire to help the refugees from Novorossiya who have fled to Russia. Please be patient.
DO NOT send any money to any ‘charity’ in Ukraine, EVER. Even most in Russia are suspect. I will speak to Saker and Father at Church tomorrow. I will also speak to people we know on the other side of the harbor. With any luck we can get a relief effort going in Sevastopol which will also, since we are part of Russian Federation, allow us to help all who come across the RF border no matter what oblast (‘county’) they are in.
Please be patient. Rome was not built in a day nor will be the relief effort. We will have to set up an accountant to verify that not a kopek goes to anything but the refugees and we must be able to verify that.
This will not be a typical ‘western’ relief effort where 95% of the donated funds are eaten by ‘administrative costs’. My goal will be under 5% admin, the remaining 95% will go to those who need it. In fact I know an accountant who owes me a life favor and I think now is the time to collect.
I will report back as things progress.
Kindest regards
Auslander
For your information over 10,000 refugees have entered Russian Federation in the last two days.
Did you see this tweet form Deputy Prime Minister of Russia, Dmitry Rogozin an hour ago? This is the strongest expression of support for Novorossiya from the Kremlin so far. Most importantly, he uses my / your / our words exactly!
Dmitry Rogozin: “The answer to #Maidan comes from #Novorossiya in the form of anti-fascist resistance & struggle for national liberation!”
(Потому и ответ на Майдан приобретает на Юго-Востоке форму и смысл национально-освободительной борьбы и антифашистского сопротивления)

I followed with interest the very sudden and nearly complete black out by western media of the news out of Ukraine, both Kiev and the rebellion in the east. It seemed to me that immidiately the Kiev government began their assaults in the east, that was the instant the west shut down coverage of Ukraine. The Kiev forces first sent in were engaged in little action, and many defected to the east and many others just left and went home. A second wave of Kiev forces sent in were a mix of Ukrainian reserves and Right Sector newly formed so called National Guard units. These units set up around Self Defense postions and began to slowly escalate their actions. Such as 1 day a single mortar round onto a town, next day several mortar rounds, next day a single artillery shell, followed next day by a few dozen. Then a helicopter gun ship overfly, followed next day by a firing run. Then several gunship launched repeated attacks on Self Defense postions. Next day a ground attack aircraft overfly, follwed by escalated bombing runs to finally a broad daylight rocket attack on the center of a city. Now there are multiple rocket launcher barrages, mortar and heavy artillery shelling with repeated airstrikes, white phosphorus etc. etc.
Each escalation appeared to be a test of Russian response. After two weeks with zero response from Russia, Kiev felt confident in the use of all weapons short of chemical weapons. Russia has done nothing, and hardly even gone to the UN for resolutions. Basically the green light has been given to Kiev to carry on.
The Self Defense forces gained a victory when they captured and took control of border posts from the Ukrainian border police. Some Kiev forces defected and went on into Russia asking for asylum others were allowed to go home where ever that might be. The result is many kilometers of Self Defense force control of the border. These postions are being held, and allow Russian arms to easily pass into the rebel’s hands. Up to and including small air defense radars, anti aircraft guns. Most importantly are the new versions of Russian army shoulder fired AA missiles and the new and deadly anti armour missile systems. The Kiev helicopters and fixed wing bombers and transports have paid a heavy price. There is even talk of a rebel “no fly ” zone enforced by these radars guns and missiles.
Part 1
Part 2
So far, Kiev has accomplished nothing after two months of fighting. The Russians and rebels are referring to these front line towns and villages as Hero Cities. And this creates great press and moral is sky high. If you watch many of the youtube videos, even when under fire the moral seems excellent. Ukrianian youtube videos are fewer from the battle field and more from Kiev. About what you would expect from fighting forces with a 10 to 1 advantage and their own air force, but unable to accomplish jack shit. Moral? It is figured to be low, only the Right Sector National Guard seems fired with desire for a fight, and when they get a fight, that moral sinks fast.
What does the future hold. It looks like stalemate, as long as the rebels hold out, they are winning. Ukrain’s nearly bankrupt coup government can’t afford to pay it’s bills, can’t afford the continued flow of gas. Is broke and requires the IMF loans that are only going to come IF they take the east. This looks unlikely. Time is on the side of the east, Kiev’s economy is a wreck and growing worse every minute. Ukraine’s major industrial assets are in the east and the gas is from Russia, Kiev controls neither of these critical elements. The majority of taxes are paid by the industrial east, held by pro Russian rebels. This means tax revenues are in the shitter, the west is already suffering from heat and some drought brought on by weather systems that look bad for the future.
Kiev is going to exist as an entity and a coup government only as a direct result of American financial hand outs of money and weapons. The IMF will print Euros for Kiev, but Kiev has no means to service the loans. The strict austerity of the IMF and EU will strip west Ukrainians of much of their support and no jobs are growing. Pensions and health care will be gutted. Gas prices will soar and workers with jobs are being stripped of about half of their wages by the IMF demands.
Kiev is fucked, the coup leaders are going to be hung from lamp posts before this austerity and civil war thing ends in a ruined nation already looted to the bones by the elites who have billions each and great flats in London and Paris. The ordinary Ukrainians is entering a new dark age, they will suffer and their best bet will to become refugees and flood west aiming for Germany and France, with quick connections to the welfare offices in Britain via the channel tunnel rail service. In the end, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians will be headed for Britain, just like millions from Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
Sorry this is so long. But it is my take of Ukraine from the last months developments. Sort of a summing up for the period of the ast 4-6 weeks of events.

Hey Saker!
“The Truthseeker” from RT has used your blog as a source:
http://youtu.be/AsU3g20vhMI?t=7m14s
Would the Founding Fathers now be labeled ‘terrorist scum?’
Saker,
Thank you so much! It’s really hard being comfortable when you know people are suffering so badly but your point is well taken that the most important thing we can do is help get people here truly aware of what is going on. Because once they are, the American public really won’t stand for it. I absolutely believe that.
It hit me a couple of days ago and I actually commented on it but I’m going to bring it up again: what we need to do, more than anything, is talk to people and basically “sell” them the truth. They don’t know, they’ve got their own lives, it’s ugly and upsetting and TPTB have made it very easy to ignore and very difficult to learn about. Ergo, it’s a pretty rough sales job!
But it’s really no different than “cold-calling” someone out of the blue and trying to convince them to buy whatever it is you’re selling. Some people make a pretty good living doing that, so it clearly can be done. And the rule of thumb in cold-calling is that it takes 14 (!) cold calls to make one sale, so if you’ve been trying with friends, family, neighbors and co-workers, maybe you haven’t tried enough of them (remember, too, every single person you reach counts bc they’ll talk about it too, and word-of-mouth really does matter). Another sales pointer is that you’ve got to repeat your pitch at least three times before it starts to sink in so, again, don’t get discouraged, just keep plugging away at it and remember to go back and repeat your main point three times before they get you to shut up! ;~) AND, if you find a particular pitch works really well, Please. Do. Share. It. !!!
Because, again, the American public, regardless of their politics — or indifference thereto — are already restless, uneasy, and not at all happy with various aspects of our domestic situation. Once they understand that their hard-earned tax dollars are hurting people for no good reason and enriching the 1% instead of being used to help us here (build bridges, feed people, whatever), we’ll get to that tipping point and stop this nasty nonsense. Eric Cantor’s loss has got to be making a whole lot of politicians rather queasy, and rightfully so. Let’s capitalize on that!
I thought the Ukrainian head honcho promised the ‘Eastern Terrorist Uprising’ would be over in a matter of hours.
When will he countdown begin?
Auslander,
THANK YOU!!! I cry whenever I think of that little girl who will hopefully never be your daughter. How is she doing, btw? And the others?
Petri Krohn,
WOW!
In one way, it’s a real step forward, at least in terms of a public acknowledgement of where he/they stand. Russia *is* escalating, just at a deliberately glacial pace. In another though, he’s also still telling them they’ve got to do it themselves, no?
Otoh, we don’t know the back-channel relations, we’re all really still guessing. And praying.
Anonymous 20:47, 20:48
That’s a pretty good summary, thank you. And it does make Russia’s go-slow approach appear to be a very wise one. Let the Galicians, residents of Kiev and all those others who worship the West and scapegoat their own fellow-citizens learn through (very bitter) experience that they’ve been led down the Primrose Path since they don’t seem open to any other kind of learning. Meanwhile, a growing number of people elsewhere, at least, do seem to be learning, and horrified by, the truth.
Actually, the black out of new of Ukraine began with the swearing in of the Choco King.
If you want to see the meme of the day and then see it rebound around the blogoshpere and internet news sites of America and the Empire in Europe, just watch Google News.
It is an aggregator, but it styles the headlines. Some times they don’t get the headline “hard enough” and they tweak it one, two, even three times.
Bloomberg news is another template for studying the slant. WAPO, NYTimes, LATimes, CNN, BBC, Telegram, Guardian, all are in the replication of the White House handout.
First order of business is to protect the Fraud-in-Chief. Second to demonize the Cult of Liberalism’s enemies. Third, spread gay rights, Islamic support, and anti-Chirstianity.
It is ironic that the Oval Office is anti-American. All the while using the Hegemonic power to destroy any force that might challenge the unipolarity of the US military.
Putin committed the worse offense. He showed up Obama. The infantile incompetent in the Oval office will use every device in the Hegemon’s tool kit to destroy Putin.
Others like Kagan and his wife, Nuland, want to destroy Russia. Obama only cares about Vlad going down in flames.
a”work group” of translators from around the globe who could translate into English, then German, then Chinese all the source material of the truth of the war and the Donbass position.
Already started, as there people translating stuff already.

Thanks for your update:
Please be patient. Rome was not built in a day nor will be the relief effort.
I’m trying in France so I share your sentiment.

Can anyone design a poster for this kind of cause. PR is my interest but not graphic design.

Jefferson’s enlightenment rhetoric of ’76 effectively forestalled that judgement. I’ve never heard of any Hollywood treatment of the patriots who felt little brotherly love with the Gentlemen Adventurers and bravely refused to join their mutinous enterprise.

“Would the Founding Fathers now be labeled ‘terrorist scum?'”
Only the ones who didn’t own slaves, as the mentality of those slave owners is what eventually became the American mentality.
Please don’t send money to charities. You can never help a situation or a cause by sending money. The system is designed to steal your money and redirect it towards the objectives of the Cabal.
If you really want to help with money, set aside your donations/tithes and wait for an opportunity to donate those funds directly to the person or persons you want to help.
In the meantime you should expend some energy thinking about how your donation can make a positive difference to, for example, the people of Novorossia.
By donating to any traditional charity you are paying guilt money while directly funding the people who are killing the innocent.
Again, your funds always go to the bad guys. There is no way to escape this. You must stop thinking as a consumer or your every action will have the opposite effect. The same logic applies when you donate to environmental or starving children’s charities.
If you want to play the money game against the Anglo-Zionists you must think like a Jew.
quote “IMF loans that are only going to come IF they take the east. “
time to kill IMF .do you not think?
i mean physically those scumbags who sit in imf and also the isntitution.

easiest way for russia and world to get real lasting peace is to wipe out england -nothign sort of that will bring respite to europe or world.
it is not neocons who are for perpetual war it is the english race so called British who are instigating the perpetual war of course the English are too coward and weak to fight on their own so they have arranged a charade called NATO to do their dirty work.

“Those with a sense of irony may recall that Benjamin Franklin, one of the leading figures of the Enlightenment, warned that the newly liberated colonies should be wary of allowing Germans to immigrate, because they were too swarthy; Swedes as well. Into the twentieth century, ludicrous myths of Anglo-Saxon purity were common in the U.S., including among presidents and other leading figures.”
Hence comes the myth of white-where white is a code word for English and English scumbag’s derived anglosaxon race who incidentally are much more swarthy than the Irish and Germans who were declared non-whites in usa according to their vocabulary.
In other words anglosaxons though in minority have been able to get hold of power only by myth of white which is to pit one against another while they really mean it for the benefit of not all white races but anglosaxon race only.

The child, in actual fact all the children, are doing quite well. We went to them late last week and took our placid Sophia with us again. We don’t know who had more fun, the young children or Sofik, but all went swimming together.
Today we have a meeting at Church and we will try to lay the groundwork for donations. Saker will of course be kept in the loop.
wipe out england…..
so there are some that wish for a destruction of my country of origin.
Please take a pause, breath deeply
PLEASE think carefully of the implications of such words, uttered randomly.
Do mean the Establishment or the Eilte?

What about a bitcoin wallet and whoever wants to donate in btc does? It’s pretty straightforward, but some digging and tutorials are recommended.
Excellent post!!! I have learnt many things form here. I have also website where you can ivsit and pass your leasure time. In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. To get more information, visit here……………
