Dear friends,
I just wanted to share a couple of things with you today.
First, I wanted to mention that the folks are Vox Populi Evo have begun to share more videos subtitled in English with us, such as the two recent ones about Mozgovoi and Givi. Even better, then have agreed to subtitle in English a full-length interview of the famous Ukrainian author Oles Buzina about the history of the Ukraine. This is a major project and a lot of work, so please thank them by checking out their YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/VoxPopuliEvo/videos. I hope that in the future the collaboration between all our brothers in arms will be more and more coordinated for the greater good of all the English speaking people out there.
Second, I wanted to just drop a tantalizing hint for you all to keep an eye on the “interviews” section where I hope to soon have two, possibly three, very interesting interviews to share with you.
Third, I wanted to mention to you all that we are very lucky to have a top-level computer security specialist helping us. His name is “La Luciole radioactive” (the radioactive firefly) and he is the one who identified the reason for our recent server crash and who fixed in in a record time. Between my excellent webmaster Gevorg and this security specialist I, and the rest of the IT team, have all the expertise and support we need.
Fourth, I wanted to remind you all that you have just a few hours left (until Sunday 00:00 UTC/GMT) to submit your questions for the test run of my “mobile podcast” which I will record Sunday evening.
Last but not least, yet another sign that we are making a difference. To make a long story short, the French newspaper Libération (which I would classify as “caviar Left, blink-blink, establishment”) has apparently posted an article by Agnès Lemoine (other source: Angès Lecompte) making a list of all “pro-Russian” “Nazis and Fascists”. Then Libération had to pull the article. The reporter than posted in on FB, then pulled it too, but others have now taken over the task of creating a list of black listed websites and information sources deemed as pro-Russian (which in the current mindest excludes any possibility of honesty or quality – if you are pro-Russia you are a “NaziFascistStalinstIslamistTerroristCommunist” or something equally appalling and abhorrent (see picture).
I am proud to report that this infamous list include not only the French Saker and members of the French Saker Team (félicitation mes amis!!) but also the Original Saker Blog and a reference to our entire community. The author of the articles expresses bafflement which the original Saker blog idea was emulated elsewhere and views that as very suspicious. By the way, I have seen that suspicion also aired on other websites (check out for instance this comment by “Barbantian” on the World Socialist Website or this entire thread of Sic Semper Tyrannis). The idea is that I am either a CIA or an FSB agent (nobody ever mentions SVR or GRU for some reasons) and that these organizations have given tons of money to create a worldwide DIS-information network. Clearly, these folks not read my “Submarine in the desert” article and they cannot imagine how much can be achieved simply by betting on the self-organizational capabilities of good people. There are, of course, a few blogs who are simply jealous of the success of our community and who instead of working with us, chose to slander us. Whatever may be the case, the French journalists concludes by saying that “J’opterais pour des services de renseignements Russes (mais cela n’engage que moi…)” (My guess is that the Russian intelligences services [are behind him] but that is just my personal opinion).
I personally take all these accusations of being backed and funded by some major intelligence agency as a compliment because because it shows that all the folks making these kinds of guesses simply *cannot imagine* that one guy with a computer and a few good people worldwide could have done what we have without being backed by a multi billion dollar state organization! I only wish somebody would pay us all the lavish salaries James Bond seems to enjoy in his movies :-) (-: Mr Fradkov! Mr Sergun! this subtle hint is for you! :-)
Anyway, I wish you all a great week-end and I will “see you”, God willing, on Monday.
Cheers and hugs,
The Saker
“When receiving flak, you’re over target” – inscription found on burned out wreckage of MH13
Great news!
You sound well-rested and upbeat – nothing like a good break, is there ?
Now we just have wait for Putin to re-appear..:)
Maybe Putin should keep hidden for a time — drive the media crazy and make the empire paranoid. Take up all their time on speculation and gossip and paralyze them.
They can’t get their quota of Russian ‘bad’ news so they fill the space with ‘no news’ news about Putin. I’m waiting for the revelation that olde Beatles records played backwards keep repeating “Putin is dead” etc. What a circus!
Isn’t it interesting how the little guy with no mustache is able to keep so many of the enemy’s minions upset (and set up) to the point there’s no limb too shaky for them to go out on? All they have to do is read his blog and find out his work of state continues apace. But whatever that says, they prefer to speculate and theorize (grandstand) to impress the proles.
I looked at http://eng.kremlin.ru/ — President of Russia site. There’s a bunch of things he’s been doing.
I saw there was supposed to be a big news conference this weekend, and that flag was not on the Kremlin, so perhaps:
the formation of OTAN — Organization of Trading Nations — anti-NATO — NATO spelled backwards. Not a new Soviet Union, but an economic alliance with similarity to a federation, with little symbols on a new flag for each of the allies. To go along with the new economic organization and death of the petrodollar. Emmanuel Goldstein will be the new minister of OTAN, of course. Or maybe call the new group Eastasia, from out of the text book used by the neocons?
Yes, of course Putin will be laying the groundwork for any new ‘surprise moves’, as he had to do in the past. The pit is dug and the stakes in the bottom being installed now, while the trap is covered over with grass mats. Obama is eating his tie.
Oh I love this, this is so funny. Empire members probably are not going to have a manicure and pedicure because they have chew their nails alredy till they are waiting for the creepy news.
It would be nice Saker to invite this misterious “Agnes Lemoine” for the virtual conference with all of us, just to explain to her that we never missed the history class and we are very clear what the name of Nazi means.
We are just a simple people and we like every single nation around the world not just Russians,but at the same time we hate parasites, thieves and canny bastards. What is wrong with that? I think nothing, we just would like to have a happy lives with our dear families, we are definitely not dreaming about the enslavement what they have planed for us and this is it.
I hope thats what he is doing. After what happened with Chavez, I cannot help but be concerned.
Yes I can see it working all over the world and it proves each one of us can make a difference even though we think it is insignificant, together it is making a difference. The system can be brought to bear by a million pin pricks and you are helping us see the difference we an all make individually and collectively. Every day more submarines are making their way to the water!!
We should really thank Agnès Lemoine for industriously producing this ‘infamous list’ so as to have alternate news that is not western MSM propaganda and which might just contain gems of truthful information.
Merci beaucoup Agnès Lemoine!
(However I am mildly insulted that my name isn’t listed. Please add it at your convenience)
I note there is a similar project underway ‘to expose pedophile pages’.
I have no interest in that information but Agnès might wish to think of safety and tread carefully there as those people may be less understanding then ‘Russophiles’ or even ‘Nazis’.
Got it! Your fundraising solution:
Market a ‘Saker doll’ — comes with 6 different snap on faces, 3 sets of clothes, a computer tablet with wifi, and strap-on falcon wings (looks like Batman wings). Other accessories available separately (like with GI Joe), including you pet sidekick alligator — this will be the great new thing for the information war. Get it out now before the lib and neocon bloggers beat you to the punch.
I notice how those comments you linked to say an awful lot about who they think you are and precious little about what you actually say — like the news reports about what color tie Obama is wearing. I guess maybe the medium IS the message?
Great, Blue, I love it.
Good idea. I will also add a few pins to the Saker dolls so those who hate my guts can enjoy sticking them in my dolls with the hope that I feel them coming in.
Market differentiation: I can double my clientèle if a cater to those who like what I do, *and* those who hate it :-)
It would be extra delicious to get a lot of funding from the opponents.
Like the blogger, whose name I forget, who drove around Ukraine selling blue and yellow paint, Ukraine flags and lapel pins, etc……… and sent all the profits to Novorossiya to buy uniforms for the first fighters.
What the hell are you risking your life and limbs living in the Genocidal Empire??? [Asked sheepishly!] You know that you are living in Ground Zero, right?
David, I asked Catherine Austin Fitts that question once, and you know what her reply was ??
“This is MY country.”
There is a time to fight and there is a time to run . . . to fight again!
“The Day After” bit.ly/1EzopCx
Maybe it’s time to watch or rewatch this great TV movie in case those ICBMs start to fly. . .
Nah, David, I think Russia, faced w the inevitability of war arriving shortly will instead give us economic collapse. Didn’t I see somewhere that the alternative SWIFT system is going to be available early?
You know, maybe it’s time to give up on the “good faction” in Europe gaining ascendancy over the bad guys. It’s a great pity and an inconvenience but maybe the imm’y econ future of Europe is just going to have to bite the dust w America’s. I suppose they can route the Silk Road thru Southern Europe as EU implodes.
Economic collapse, WW3, 2nd 9/11 ~ I have no idea when these things are going to happen.
But what I do know is that the USA and the West will collapse financially first then economically, with or with the help of Russia and/or China. They aka the Yankees will of course try to preempt that by another much bigger 9/11. We are already in WW3 since 9/11/2001. When those ICBMs start to fly, THAT is the END of WW3!
SWIFT is of course Financial WW3! As Russia’s Prime Minister said recently, and I am paraphrasing, “all options are off the table!”.
I have been a loyal follower of this site and a minor participant for a few years now. It constantly amazes me to observe all the changes constantly taking place in its format and contents without ever reducing its quality.
I have learned a lot from you Saker as well as from the community of readers. The readership has grown so mature that I am now going through the comments with the same eagerness as the articles that inspire them.
Yes this site (and its expanding network) is a miracle. It is one of the solutions to the mental servitude inflicted on other by the Hegemon and its lackeys.
Russian and Chinese helping out Venezuela. Thus falls the hegemonic Monroe Doctrine.
The Venezuelan military is conducting massive air defense and artillery drills involving visiting Russian troops and hardware, the nation’s Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez said Saturday.
The 10-day war games have been ordered by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who spoke of pressure coming from the United States earlier this month.
The Venezuelan government has been concerned about US President Barack Obama’s new executive order, published Monday, which described the South American country as “unusual and extraordinary threat” to US national security and foreign policy.
Around 10,000 Venezuelan troops are taking part in the massive military exercises, which also involve Chinese crews, according to Venezuela’s Noticias24 website.
The drills come in the wake of a February visit by Russia’s Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, who discussed military and technical cooperation with his Venezuelan counterpart in Caracas.

Red Ryder, you are kidding me! That’s the name of Venezuela’s defense minister? Vladimir Padrino Lopez!
China has been taking over as primary investor in Latin America, I’ve been reading, but I don’t know the extent of it yet.
There’s more than one serious view as to whether the Zionists are in charge or whether the
Anglo half is (of the determination to sink all nations under the NWO.)
One view is here (brief) http://www.voltairenet.org/article184973.html
Another is given in alternate chapters of Starikov’s on-line book http://lit.md/files/nstarikov/rouble_nationalization-the_way_to_russia%27s_freedom.pdf
The other chapters tell how the IMF/dollar system ties up developing nations, inclucing Russia.
Wonder if the Anglo half is trying to cut loose from Zionist dominion:

@ Eimar Clark,
Q; Wonder if the Anglo half is trying to cut loose from Zionist dominion:
R: Of course not [Milibands are waiting in the wings].
I’d advice AIIB to give the UK [and all other western countries] the Turkey/Nato treatment. You’re in, but not really… Keep them close, but not too…
Excellent tactics, m’lud!
Co-opt by degrees..
If the Celestial Kingdom could ‘subsume’ the Jesuits, what hope for the Cameronians? :)
Thanks. The first link is interesting and makes a lot of sense. The second one is right out of the twilight zone.
Dear The Saker,
I hope you had a good break and are rested and refreshed.
You are obviously making an impact :) . It is a shame some wish to compete rather than unite. We need to help each other.
Welcome the radioactive firefly – thank you for all your help.

Alors, la nouvelle chasse aux sorcières a débuté et nous voilà tous embarqués dans le même bateau….euh…le même sous-marin. LOL
Apparemment, ce n’est plus un désert. LOL
Je ne pensais pas vivre un tel phénomène, ni m’y trouver impliquée, bien que de très très loin, d’autant que je boycotte Face de bouc.
J’ai l’impression que les pages des livres d’histoires défilent à toute vitesse sous mes yeux et je suis prise d’effroi en voyant qu’elles se remplissent progressivement de réalité.
En rassemblant les différentes pièces du puzzle, dont celle du démembrement de la Yougoslavie et l’entrée facile dans l’OTAN de la Croatie (+ une actuelle présidente ex-ambassadrice dans l’Alliance, qui fait déjà des bises à Hillary) qui avait encore la route barrée à l’UE par Gotovina (pourtant aidé dans le conflit par les USA) ou la convoitise US du Heartland, ainsi que la disparition des filets sociaux en Europe – même en Suisse – mes propres conclusions ne pouvaient que me faire accoster sur les rives de l’immense “île” Russie qui de toute évidence fait de la résistance.
Il y a 5 ans, un prof. de l’Université de Genève, convaincu de la pertinence du paradigme réaliste, qualifiait les relations internationales d’excitantes. Aujourd’hui, elles sont délirantes.
Amités à tous, aux Russes, au Donbass, ainsi qu’à vous, noble rapace.
Bless you, Moderator- BH.
BBC calling! BBC calling!
The Hegemon’s vassal is trumpeting:
Boris Nemtsov Ukraine report ‘to be released in April’
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-31885322
All noise-spin and no substance.
It’s almost sad to see how far the BBC has fallen.And as for the “report”,Nemtsov’s buddies have to wait until April to get it faked correctly.You notice they said a team was going to “make further reporting trips” adding to the “evidence”.If it was Nemtsov’s report then that’s all that would be reported,what he had.Though if his records were taken during the investigation,how would they have them now.You can bet they will put a lot of work into this fake.With the murder they’ll have a huge MSM audience to lap their work up.
Uncle Bob, I subscribed to the Guardian over a decade ago, for about 3 years…and they were awful. I don’t think its ever been what is claimed…a good paper….

I remember Soviet agents used to complain all the time about how cheap the Center was in payments.Some of them had to actually have jobs,not just for covers,but to support themselves.And I can tell you it….er…I mean,I heard it was hard.
whew, what a slip of the finger !!!
Hahaha,a little levity,wink,wink.Though it is true that they were said to be “cheap”.
Former French Prime minister Francois Fillon, who told the public broadcaster France 5 on Sunday that the United States was attempting to “unleash a war in Europe, which would end in catastrophe.” He added that once a war broke out, the US would attempt to distance itself from it.
“Total war caused [by the] Ukrainian conflict is absolutely unacceptable. And really there is no reason for it,” he said.
Fillon accused the US of suffering from “blindness” and an oversimplified approach to reality, which saw them constantly attempting to “solve all problems by force.”
He further said Washington was always attempting to force others to join its camp, a mistaken approach given that a country like Ukraine has ties to both Europe and Russia.
—
Russia is not going to sit there and wait for this to hit her in the face; the Nemstov killing may have been the last straw. I’ll bet there’s a lot of important meetings going on in Moscow, while they decide how to avoid a worse war.
So much hatred for good scares me. This vineyard must have angels at its back. I hope so because this situation can only get rougher. Goliath never had a more determined David. I hope and pray that the story holds true for us.
At one time Liberation was a respected newspaper,famous throughout the world of journalism.But then came the Rothchilds:
” In 2005 Libération badly needed funds,[13] and Serge July strove to convince the board to allow Édouard de Rothschild[13] to buy a stake in the paper. The board agreed on 20 January 2005. Social conflicts arose shortly after. On 25 November 2005, the paper went on strike, protesting against the layoff of 52 workers.[14] Rothschild, who had promised he would not interfere in editorial decisions, decided that he wasn’t playing an active enough role in the paper’s management.[15] In May 2006 the paper announced a week-end magazine called Libé week-end, with a supplement called Ecrans (covering television, internet and film), and another called R. (The latter was abandoned in September of the same year)
On 13 June 2006, Serge July told the editorial staff that Édouard de Rothschild was refusing to invest more money in the paper unless Louis Dreyfus (directeur général) and himself left the paper. July had accepted, believing the paper’s future existence to depend on his decision. The journalists were shocked. The next day, they published a public statement praising the paper’s founder and expressing their worries about journalistic independence.[16] Serge July left the paper on 30 June 2006.[17]
A debate between Bernard Lallement, the first administrator-manager of Libération and Edouard de Rothschild took place in Le Monde newspaper. In a column published on 4 July 2006, Lallement argued that July’s departure was the end of an era where “writing meant something”. Lallement painted a bleak picture of Libération’s future, as well as that of the press as a whole. Criticizing Rothschild’s interference, Lallement quoted Sartre, who had famously said that “Money doesn’t have any ideas”.[18] Later, on his blog, Lallement argued that Rothschild, who had had no historic attachment to the paper, was only interested in making money, not in the paper itself.[19] On 6 July, Rothschild declared: “Libération needs help and moral, intellectual and financial support. Libération doesn’t need a requiem.”[20]
Sixty-two employees (including 35 journalists, such as Antoine de Gaudemar, chief editor, Sorj Chalandon, who was awarded the Albert Londres Prize, both present since the 1973 creation of Libé, or Pierre Haski, deputy editor, present since 1981, were about to resign end of January 2007 (on a total of 276 employees). With the 55 others employees who left the newspaper end of 2005, this makes a total of about 150 persons who were dismissed since Rothschild’s entrance to the capital, not including tens of resignations (Florence Aubenas, Dominique Simonnot, Antoine de Baecque, Jean Hatzfeld).”
Hi Saker ! You sound in good spirits !! Your vacation with your loved one(s) seems to have been good medicine !!! Do you take your dogs ?
I really like the picture of the ancient Greek silver round.
The Eagle standing on Zues’s Lightning , it reads ,
PTOLEMAIOU BASILEOS , King Ptolemy .
Very appropriate for this blog of truth and justice.
In short it represents God and Justice, the Eagle standing on the Lightning,
representing the Administration of Justice. Much of this time periods silver
of high circulation is related images, Athena seated as Zues, the Eagle,
Lightning, Winged Victory, Rays of Apollo. The ideas represented became
Christian. This may sound crazy to many.
Today we have the Greek Orthodox Church with it’s official banner,
the Double Headed Eagle, wielding sword in one claw and Peace/Irene
in the other claw, and the Eagle asks you to choose, Peace or War,
the Eagle is also the War Bird, Athena is also the Goddess of Peace
or War, wielding Winged Victory, the Just shall prevail.
I am a student of the Classics so if you want to mock me be my guest.
I stand with those the carry the Double Headed Eagle today as BATTLE COLORS.
“NaziFascistStalinstIslamistTerroristCommunist”
Nothing new. You should be proud. At 90’s we (Serbs and our army) were “srpskočetničkokomunističkasoldateska”, serbianchetnickscomunist army. It is so obvious that the same mind is behind propaganda efforts all the time.
The EU Parliament has passed a resolution demanding an international investigation into the Nemstov killing. The EU Council has voted to extend the personal sanctions another 6 months.
These people are such insulting amateurs. They’ve not a speck of fairness or truthfulness in them. Ought we really to blame the criminals in Washington for pressuring them into such bad behavior? I think not. I think that as long as the people of the US and EU are under the thrall of such as these that the world has no choice but to make economic war upon their nations, as this seems the only possibility of our freeing ourselves from them.
How is the world to go on except by somehow brushing them aside? Billions of people want to live normal lives, but a few pygmy, cowardly psychopaths occupy the levers of power. Surely a way can be found to remove such detritus from the path of humanity. How can we be held back by something so inept and common and disgusting.
I think in Germany and France a little change towards Russia is already starting. Der Spiegel, Steinmeier and Marie le Pen are beginning to speak out against the lies of the US. The book of Ulftkotte, former top journalist of the Frankfurter ALgemeine has its impact.
The Change Media Project of Rudolf Ludovski of We are Change is doing a great job. If we cannot change the media we have to become the media ourselves, and that is happening big time. We can influence politics by sharing the truth. The “infamous list” showed by the Saker is a good sign too. We all have to keep sharing the truth and spread it.
Here is a video made in Mexico of the Change Media University. Very hopeful.
“James Corbett, Luke Rudkowski and Dan Dicks wrap up their special session of Change Media University in Acapulco, Mexico with a wide-ranging conversation on alternative media and internet journalism. They discuss the importance of intrinsic goals and reflect on the civilizational shift that is happening as we move away from a centralized mass media culture to a decentralized, peer-to-peer culture.”
Don’t hate the Media, BECOME the media
Remember this ? After having initiated her well-planned Maidan Square uprising in Kiev in early 2014, triggering Europe’s worst conflict in Ukraine since the Balkan Wars of the 1990s, Victoria Nuland, the Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, recently attempted a Kiev-style putsch in Macedonia aimed at overthrowing that nation’s democratically-elected government of Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski.
Nuland attempts Kiev Version 2.0 in Skopje:http://m.strategic-culture.org/news/2015/02/16/nuland-attempts-kiev-version-2-skopje.html
Well, it failed – As Russia begins to build a pipeline through Macedonia that could form the basis of a revised South Stream route, the Hungarian President is in talks with Erdogan over financing this enormous project.
This wasn’t supposed to happen, at least not if the US had gotten its way in Macedonia last month. Understanding that it’s the crucial bottleneck through which Balkan Stream must run, Washington wanted to stage a coup in the country in order to install a new leader that would reject the project and put an end to the region’s plans for reliable energy transit.

Great news – I wonder what the wicked witch Nuland think about that ?
“… demanding an international investigation into …” — this would be another MH17 type investigation I guess — report due out in 2020+! There would be dozens of nazi civilian massacres to ‘investigate’ — not even counting the mess in the middle east region — but strangely this mobster-mess needs instant attention from the usual suspects. When they’ve delivered on the MH17 (and even the MH370) I’ll consider their calls more seriously.
I am very proud to plead baby-Saker, Stalinist, Kirovist, almost communist, internationalist, antiimperialist, antifascist, pro-Russia, pro- Putin , pro-Novorossiya, pro-Strelkov, pro-Mozgovoi, pro-Givi, pro-Motorola, pro-Armour, pro-Sailor, pro-Stanislava ( how about that girl, any news?), pro-Pasha ( my child ), pro-Inna….
I could also be described as arabóphile because the so much I like this culture, although I love all cultures in the world I have known (I have very good and fond memories of Africa too)
Now, if someone included me in a list of individuals / webs extreme right I would exercise legal action for defamation.
I am Basque, and we have long time been dubbed as “ethno-nationalistic-terroristic-bolivarian-revolutionary-socialists”.
Proud of the enemy slurs!
“What have you did, Bebel, old idiot, for having those reactionnaries acclaiming you?”
August Bebel, XIX century German Socialist politician, wondering on his own.
I am Basque too, Oxandabaratz, and very proud of this, athough not nationalistic at all.
But I think we have realized, in this blog, that we all, from all the different ways of thinking in the world, but decent people in the end, we have a common goal, to live in peace and prosperity with each other and that, to accomplish this goal, we need to unit all forces.
Greetings comrade!
Of course, there is not nothng more important than the struggle against the Empire. COmparing to that the pro-Independence/pro-Spain debatte is a secondary matter.

Thanks for the quote Elsi!
Over on Fort Russ, you have some very vehement critics who claim that you, and those close to Putin (Starikov) are agents of the neocon/zionist West, because you don’t advocate for full Russian intervention, in Ukraine (like Strelkov does).
Are you able to explain the political dynamic that is occurring amongst the major players in the Donbas? It appears as a great soup: LPR, DPR, Great Don Host, Strelkov, Batman, Zakharchenko, Pollitsky, etc. As we say in the U.S., what’s the view from 10,000 ft.?
Anon on March 15, 2015 · at 1:23 pm UTC
“As we say in the U.S…”
Is that in Langley, by chance?
Here is a translation of the comment I put on the site of Allain Jules
I add my voice to those who, thanks to Agnes Lecomte’s list, are happy to be informed about additional « pro-russian » sites, that is, as Philippe Grasset would say, « anti-system » sites.
Since my name is in the list, I would like to make some comments. Here is how my husband and I are presented:
« After having spent 18 years teaching physics at the University of Nice, they moved to the U.S. where they spent 4 years in Tucson (Arizona) and 12 years in Honolulu (Hawaii). They participated to the development of optical instrumentation for large telescopes. At the end of year 2000, they retired and went back to France. »
These are clearly dangerous terrorists, are’nt they?
YES, we try to fight the « system » because we have experienced it in its purest form, that is from within the United States, and saw, since we came back, France taken up by it and becoming similar to what we have seen there and flown away from, as soon as we could. Because we were astronomers, living among the stars, we have been mistaken, and later decided to fly away; if we had to do it again, we would not do it. The false promises, the hypocrisy, the double standards, all what the latest crises have shown evidence for, either in Ukraine, in Syria, or Lybia, we had experienced it between 1984 and 2000. Neither Obama nor Bush should be blamed for the current chaos, only the system as it stands. It is against it that we fight in our own way.
In no way did I know the « Saker » before, but I read his blog and it appeared worth to me to make known what he was telling to the French people. One day, I simply wrote a comment, as this one, and he answered to me on his blog, offering me to put a link to a site I would create to put translations of his articles. He gave my e-mail address, and I immediately received an offer from several translators. It was quite extraordinary. Starting from scratch, we had the first vineyardsaker.fr running, and now our site is called lesakerfrancophone.fr. I believe none of the editors-translators of the site has ever thought he could be classified as part of the extreme right wing, but everything can happen, and we must get used to it.
My husband is like Grouchek. He thinks that it is by looking to somewhere else rather than political considerations, that solutions can be found to current world problems. I don’t believe that his blog can be considered as pro-russian, or even anti-system. Perhaps you should take a look at it.
It is possibly Putin’s back.
