Call for volunteers for a major research project
Dear friends, As I have mentioned in the past, in January 2017 I will be starting a major new project entitled “History of the Orthodox People” (HOP). The main goal of this project is to present a general history of the various local Orthodox Churches in general and, specifically, to restore the historical truth about the genocides committed against the Orthodox people and about the subsequent historical cover-ups. The rationale
The Saker blog finally blacklisted by the corporate media :-)
Over the past couple of days emails have been pouring in warning me that the Saker blog made it to the “An Initial Set of Sites That Reliably Echo Russian Propaganda“: (this is just a partial list, go to the website for the full thing) Not only that, but the WaPo decided to advertise this list which, let’s be honest, badly needed some official imprimatur since it is made by
Announcement by the Saker Community about the German Saker blog
It is with great sadness that we, the Saker Community, have decided to sever our ties with the German Saker blog. For many years the German Saker blog has been one of the most successful and dedicated blogs of our community and we want to sincerely thank Dagmar Henn for the superb job she did as the person in charge of this blog. Recently, however, the German Saker blog has
New Features: Up/Down Voting has been Removed
Saker has decided that up/down voting will be removed. The ‘read more’ will be retained. Thank you all for your feed back. Saker has asked me to place this in the ‘blog, announcements’ for enhanced visability. My apologizes if you have already reviewed this information. I also have added the current reactions to the changes. Please provide your reactions … if changes are not wanted they will be removed. The

The recent article about “Cat Motja on Motorola and Ukraine in simple human language”
Dear friends, My bad. I screwed up. The recent article by Scott “Cat Motja on Motorola and Ukraine in simple human language” should not have been published, at least not in its current form. I removed it along with the (predictably) divisive comments section. The responsibility is entirely mine and I apologize to everybody. The Saker
Hmmmm.. what about I offer you a good deal: a real podcast behind a *pretend* paywall?
Dear friends, How shall I put it… hmmm… maybe its the hurricane and my forced ‘vacation’, or maybe all the repeated outages of our server (we still have not found the root cause of them, out IT officers are still trying to find it), or it’s all the crazy events taking place in our world gone insane, or maybe you are setting aside for the now very possible WWIII –
Saker update #2 (+ a few words on the Trump-Clinton debate)
Dear friends, I am home. That is the good news. The bad one is that my network is at 1/10th of its normal speed and that it often simply disconnects. Other bad new: over the past couple of days I got well over 100 emails. I don’t have the time to answer them. So here is what I suggest: ==>>IF YOU WANT ME TO REPLY TO YOUR EMAIL, PLEASE RE-SEND
Short update from the Saker
Dear friends, My family and I are incredibly lucky. Just 24 hours ago we were looking at a CAT4 hurricane making landfall just south of us and then slowly moving its eyewall over our county. Remember Punta Gorda in 2004 or Homestead with Hurricane Andrew? Something like that was a definite possibility. Instead, we got a CAT3 whose eye never moved over land (at least not near us) and which at
Guys, this does not look good – I have to evacuate
Dear friends, Things are not looking very good tonight: check out the 11PM predicted track for Hurricane Matthew: What this means is that Matthew will pass over my house as a CAT4 Hurricane (hence the letter “m” as in “major” on the map above) with very high winds, torrential rain, isolated tornadoes and a significant storm surge. This also means that all of the coastal areas will be evacuated and
IMPORTANT: Possible disruptions of the Saker blog in the next couple of days
Dear friends, First, as you have already noticed, we are having some problems with our servers. This is why the blog was unreachable during most of Tuesday. The person in charge of our IT security has managed to get the blog back online, but the problem has not been fully resolved and might happen again. Second, there is a major (CAT3 to CAT4) hurricane headed for the US East Coast.

Dear friends, Today I am posting the “Fall 2016 State of the Saker Community” report and fund drive to inform you and to encourage you to support my work.

Appeal of Russian organizations in Canada
Activists of the Russian community of Toronto, Montreal, and other North American cities will protest against the blanket ban on the Russian National Team of Paralympic athletes from participation in the Rio 2016 Olympics. The decision to ban the athletes demonstrates an absolute disregard for the legal right of people to the presumption of innocence. We cannot allow such blatant attacks on our morals, ethics, and democratic freedoms. Unfortunately, we
Request for help from the Saker: are you good at drawing, especially maps? (UPDATED!)
Dear friends, I hope that somebody from our community could draw the following map for me: Take a (non-copyrighted) map of the world and show how far a line 1000km away from the Russian border would reach? A simple map of Russia with the Russian border clearly indicated and then a second “border” 1000km away from the real border would be perfect. I would like to have a picture to
The Saker reviews “The Enemy of the State” by Scott
Okay, I will admit it. I am biased. Not only is Scott my Director of Research, but he also is somebody I care deeply for. And yet, even though I am biased I don’t even have to appeal to my bias to say that I absolutely loved “The Enemy of the State”. Friends, this text is extremely well written. I began reading it late at night (during the day I
Guy Mettan’s book on russophobia is a “must read” for any person interested in Russia
Review of the book “Russie-Occident – une guerre de mille ans: La russophobie de Charlemagne à la Crise Ukrainienne” (“The West vs Russia – a thousand year long war: russophobia from Charlemange to the Ukrainian Crisis”) by Guy Mettan, Editions des Syrtes, Genève, Suisse, 2015 (www.editions-syrtes.com). Initially, I planed to write a ‘regular’ review of this book, but by the time I finished reading it I realize that nothing short
Thanks guys!! (Saker return message)
Dear friends, After a pretty intense week I am back. I still feel like I spent a week somewhere in deep in a bunker (been there, done that) or in a submerged submarine (I imagine – never done it). But at least I am back at the keyboard :-) I wanted to thank all those who donated this week – you guys are fantastic! Thanks for the PayPal transfer, the
