CGTN: The 7 Deadly Sins of Western Mainstream Media
The Tale of the Evil King
By Batiushka for the Saker Blog With apologies to J.R.R. Tolkien Once upon a time there was an evil King whose forebears had sailed across a great ocean to a vast land. There they had slain with many firesticks and pestilences or else taken captive the native peoples of that rich and fertile land, which had many minerals in its earth. The other nations of the earth called this land
Sitrep Operation Z: The Great WalkBack
By Amarynth for the Saker Blog Recall: We have no idea what the Russian end-point is, except for this part of the SMO, demilitarization and denazification of the two Donbass Republics. The blogger gpovanman summarizes the last week as follows: The last few days have seen no real breakthroughs in the Ukrainian conflict, yet with Russia not planning that there would be, this comes as no surprise. There are however
IISS Shangri-La Dialogue 2022: China’s vision for regional order
The video itself is about 35 minutes long and contains an outline of China’s vision for the region. https://www.iiss.org/ Chinese Defense Minister Wei Fenghe laid out a solid rebuttal (https://youtu.be/91mfXWBgKL4) to Washington’s hegemonic vision at the Shangri La Dialogue. A listing of content and notes taken: China: Believes in multilateralism; Opposes (US) hegemony; Upholds international laws (vs. US “norms/rules”); Will defend its territorial integrity which includes Taiwan; Stands the most
Japan‘s Looking At 10 Million Hikikomori
By Thorsten J. Pattberg for the Saker Blog The Island Nation of Japan Is The Cradle Of Hentai-Porn, Micro-Bento And Crazy Toilets. It Is Also The Motherlode Of Unspeakable Social Degeneracy And Mental Illnesses. [Reader discretion advised: Stories from US-occupied Japan can cause bleeding ulcers and loss of heart. This is part 1 out of 4 of a series.] Part 1. The Hikikomori Or Socially Dead. In TOKYO, from a
A Forgotten Anniversary
By Jimmie Moglia for the Saker Blog It is a property of the past to sink into oblivion, and of unpleasant truths to fade into evanescence. To such past belongs the attack on the USS Liberty. When to the session of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, Israel’s 1967 war of Middle East invasion is/was for me but a negligible blip compared to other important personal
Open Thread for today (plus comments)
For Ukraine issues, we can still use the latest sitrep here. Please use this as open thread for all other issues pertinent to the Saker Blog. A few latest happenings and statements: Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui: “We must put an end once and for all to the hegemony of the United States, with its eternal desire to interfere in the affairs of sovereign states” The following is non-trivial
Pitchforks soon in Europe?
by Jorge Vilches for the Saker Blog Dear Europeans For your own children´s sake — on my knees and with my saddened eyes humbly looking downwards — I beg of you to please stop the current self-destructive nonsense dead in its tracks by immediately demanding from your political class to import the bloody Russian oil normally once again as Europe had been doing for dozens of years. The impact that

Gonzalo Lira: The Great Ukraine Blame Game Has Begun!
Traitors and Patriots
By Batiushka for The Saker Blog The prolific Russian nationalist author of 91 books, Oleg Platonov (born 1950), relates in his work on the fall of the Soviet Union how in the 1980s, on the eve of the country’s collapse, Westerners, whom The Saker rightly calls ‘Euro-Atlanticists’, betrayed the USSR. These ‘Euro-Atlanticists’ were the ‘Communists’ who in the 1990s overnight became super Capitalists, bought shares for almost nothing in valuable,
Sitrep Operation Z: Beginning of this End (but there are other beginnings and other ends)
by Amarynth for the Saker Blog The SMO is beginning to end. We can classify it now as a perfect real world training ground for Russian military and is in its final stages. The ‘punitive war’ by their own actions, is heating up in Europe, and the world war between a single polar hegemon and a multi-polar world. At the Saker Blog we will continue with presenting good sources
Random Reflections on the Divine Imperium and its Southern Appurtenances
By Fred Reed for the Saker Blog Great fun. The Organization of American States on June Sixth began its big meeting in LA, probably unnoticed by most of the US but a big deal hereabouts in Mexico. America dominates the OAS pretending it doesn’t, as it dominates SWIFT, NATO, and the IMF as means of controlling other nations. Considerable uproar exists in Latin America because various Latin countries, most notably
Will the Global South break free from dollarized debt?
In his latest book, economist Michael Hudson pits socialism against finance capitalism and tears apart the ‘dream civilization’ imposed by the 1 percent. By Pepe Escobar, posted with the author’s permission and cross-posted with The Cradle With The Destiny of Civilization: Finance Capitalism, Industrial Capitalism or Socialism, Michael Hudson, one of the world’s leading independent economists, has given us arguably the ultimate handbook on where we’re at, who’s in charge,
Western Foreign Policy Created Ukraine Crisis, is Creating Crisis with China
From Brian Berletic on New Eastern Outlook https://journal-neo.org/2022/06/08/western-foreign-policy-created-ukraine-crisis-is-creating-crisis-with-china/ Two recent events, both overshadowed by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, help illustrate how the same problematic aspects of Western foreign policy driving the Ukrainian conflict are hard at work in provoking conflict with yet another global power, China. Western complaints about an alleged naval base China is accused of building in Cambodia and an altercation between Chinese and Canadian patrol aircraft
Yellow Vest Win: Ending the West’s slandering of all popular movements as right-wing xenophobes
by Ramin Mazaheri for the Saker blog “The Radicals (Western Liberal Democratic reformists) are the democratic party of French imperialism – any other definition is a lie.” – Trotsky It is too facile to refute the Western Mainstream media’s “manufactured consent”, to use Noam Chomsky’s famous phrase, which gave overwhelming support to the police brutality and legal repression of the Yellow Vests. They did this by a tactic which has
Goodbye, Harry Lime: The Old Vienna and the New Europe
By Batiushka for the Saker Blog ‘I’m not interested in whether a racketeer like Lime was killed by his friends or by an accident. The only important thing is that he’s dead’. The Old Vienna Vienna, City of Destiny, is at the heart of Central Europe, Mitteleuropa, between Western and Eastern Europe. It was the city which my father, who had fought since 1941, got out of in 1945. Had
