Quickie news by Amarynth We all started using Telegram when the Russian voice was completely blocked, just after the Ukraine SMO started. I remember very clearly a 2 week period when I could not find anything, and I live in a country where they did not sanction Russian news. We’ve known that Telegram is under extreme pressure. This from Maria Zakharova. 💬 #Opinion by Maria #Zakharova: News about Berlin’s ongoing
By Amarynth for the Saker Blog The President of Mexico has now again offered full asylum to Julian Assange. “Mexico opens the doors to Assange,” the president declared. It is good to remember that AMLO spoke to Trump and offered asylum and he is now promising to speak to Biden, to again offer asylum.

By Fred Reed for the Saker Blog In big-chunk terms, in the world today we see a contest between the Chinese economy and the American military, between Chinese dynamism and American coercion.

By Batiushka for The Saker Blog The First and Second Incarnations of Russia The Russian Lands existed for well over a thousand years before 2022 and took on many highly significant political and geographical forms. These could be described at another time; here we do not have space. However, in the last 300 years, between 1721 and 24 February 2022, they had known only two incarnations: The Russian Empire (1721-1917),

Truth is the way out of chaos To Journalist Tucker Carlson Hello, Tucker. I am 13 years old and I live in Lugansk. I think many people from the American authorities do not even know where it is, but they continue to supply weapons to Ukraine for the war with Russia. For a week now, Ukrainian artillery has been mercilessly shelling Donetsk, killing civilians in the Donbass. It’s one thing

There is an update on Snake Island (Serpent Island). What does become clear is that the map is going to turn very red in large areas very soon. Yes there is a cauldron with estimated 1,500 to 2,000
By Michael Hudson and posted with the author’s permission Preface: The Federal Reserve Board’s ostensible policy aim is to manage the money supply and bank credit in a way that maintains price stability. That usually means fighting inflation, which is blamed entirely on “too much employment,” euphemized as “too much money.”[1] In Congress’s more progressive days, the Fed was charged with a second objective: to promote full employment. The problem
By Jimmie Moglia for the Saker Blog An Eastern monarch, of whom we know the existence but not the name, kept an officer in his house whose employment it was to remind him of his mortality, by calling out every morning at a stated hour, “Remember prince that thou shalt die.” Indeed, the contemplation of the frailness of our present state appeared of so much importance to the famous legislator

by Ramin Mazaheri for the Saker blog The 51-day general strike of 2019-20 – the longest labor movement in French history – was the best of times and the worst of times, to use a Dickensian reference regarding progressive France. It was admirable that train workers thought they alone should or could bear the weight of stopping Emmanuel Macron’s self-professed neoliberal Revolution – it was pathetic that a general strike
By Batiushka for the Saker Blog Western Europe and North America are now in dire economic straits. Four EU leaders, from Germany, France, Italy and Romania, have just been to Kiev to plead with Zelensky to start negotiating again and make territorial concessions. The Western media did not much report on the fourth Romanian/German leader, Klaus Iohannis, and showed few photograph of him; possibly because the racists who work in
After lying for months, the media are preparing the public for Ukraine’s military collapse. Douglas MacGregor at The American Conservative Diogenes, one of the ancient world’s illustrious philosophers, believed that lies were the currency of politics, and those lies were the ones he sought to expose and debase. To make his point, Diogenes occasionally carried a lit lantern through the streets of Athens in the daylight. If asked why, Diogenes

Some may remember that Military Summary said about two days ago, that there is little to report as there is very little movement on the front. Wait for it, I think we now know why. Let’s take some extracts, somewhat cleaned up, from the Russian MoD
by Denis A. Conroy for the Saker Blog Awoke this morning and thought it was time to review my political convictions as it had become apparent that the war in Ukraine was beholden to the usual ‘us-and-them’ arrangements that stood in for enlightened insight… Another day wherein the propaganda-controlled media confronted me with the power of its’ nuclear-ballistic narrative (based on fire power), to assure me that our ace-in-the hole
