Dear friends, I would like to record the next podcast this Tuesday evening, September 8th. I am going on yet another long car ride through the boonies and I hope to have the energy to record a postcast while behind wheel. I have not made a Q&A for a long while, so let’s try that again.

Dear friends, First and foremost, I want to thank you all for your donations! Your response as been tremendous and the sense of support I get from you guys is amazing! Thanks so much! Then, a short update from ‘my’ hurricane. The good news is that Erika is about to run unto some atmospheric shear and some dry air, which means that there is a good chance that she might
Dear friends, It looks like next week East-Central Florida might get a most unwelcome visitor: Hurricane Erika. At this point in time, this is by no means certain, the system might weaken and peter out and it might turn into another direction, but so far it looks like it is coming directly towards yours truly: So far there is definitely no reason to panic, but this is a good time
Dear friends, I have not been bringing up this topic since July 4th and instead I have posted appeals for others. As a result, donations have, yet again, come to an almost complete fullstop (thanks to the few who did send them in!!!!). In contrast, the bills have continued to come in with an enviable regularity. As a result, I am again “drowning” in bills in struggling to make ends

Dear friends, Our brother-in-arms at SouthFront have been sending us daily reports about the war in the Ukraine.

The contribution of SouthFront to this blog simply cannot
Dear friends, The Russian Saker blog and Russian Translation Team is being completely reorganized. The previous Team Leader of the Russian Saker Blog and the Russian Translation Team had to stop her work due to health problems and another person has now stepped in to take over this absolutely crucial function: Eugenia. Eugenia can be reached directly at the following email: gureviev2@gmail.com A number of key translators of the Russian
Dear friends, You probably have noticed that the daily SITREPs have been coming in with some irregularity recently. This is due to the fact that two of my research assistants – Raskolnikova and Duff – have had to stop their activities. One of them is facing some personal difficulties while the other one has simply disappeared. The good news is that Scott will now become my senior researcher and Baaz,
Dear moderators, Of course, I could drop by and try to get in touch with some of you though our usual space at unseen, but I wanted to reach you *all* and I wanted to say what I had to say to you in public. First, THANKS SO MUCH for the phenomenal job you are doing. I really mean that. Every day or so I go and check the trashbin
Dear friends, I have two things to report today: First, Sheikh Imran Hosein has had his book “Jerusalem in the Qur’an” (69’000 words) translated to Russian and he now is looking for somebody to check this text for errors. Considering all the kind support our community has received from the Sheikh I would be delighted if a member of our community would agree to help him with this important task.
Dear friends, I just wanted to let you know that the French Saker Blog has been under DDoS attack for over 48 hours. I have asked our IT people to try to help the French Saker Blog. Right now (11:28 UTC) I could access the site, but yesterday evening it was down. I will keep you posted. The Saker
Dear friends, I need somebody to translate a fairly short (but important) text from Arabic into English. If you can help, please email me at vineyardsaker@gmail.com or thesaker@unseen.is Thanks a lot! The Saker UPDATE: As of July 20th, THREE people have offered to help and all three have then defaulted. So I STILL have not found anybody willing to help with this (relatively short) translation.
It’s this time of the month again – I am going to remind you all, as per your own instructions, that I badly need your donations to work on this blog. As I wrote a while ago, Please don’t send me into the (informational) battle without ammunition! Right how, the ammo is running out. At least mine is. While my adversaries enjoy billion dollar budgets! So, friends, please do your
Dear friends, On Wednesday I went hiking in the beautiful Florida wilderness. The hike itself was great, and I came home elated and, I would even say, intoxicated with the beauty of what I had seen. Yet somehow, I managed to sprain my ankle. I did not feel that on the day of the hike thanks probably to a combination of good hiking boots, the heat (over 100F/38C) and all
Dear friends, Our community is going through some difficult times right now and, as a result, we have a number vacancies.

Dear friends, As many of you have noticed, the blog had an outage yesterday. Though I am not sure what happened, one of our IT specialists found the location of the problem and fixed it. I am not sure whether this fix is permanent or temporary (I just woke up to a short email from him, we did not have the time to discuss this yet), but at least from
