Dear friends, This week I will be away from home until Sunday the 12th. I will have an Internet tablet with me and I will do my utmost to update the blog as best I can. Still, should you notice a relative slow down – please forgive me and know that this is due to my private circumstances. Also, if at all possible, please do not email me. If at
Foreword by Marina: Several Russian Canadian organizations coordinated events celebrating the 71st anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 on May 8th in Toronto. However, we would like to bring to the attention of people around the world the fact of apparent sabotage by the local city officials of our peaceful and non-political event. What a shame! Despite their destructive efforts, the Immortal Regiment and following
by SouthFront SouthFront has been under stiff pressure from different sides (corporations and, as we could consider, governments). Recently there was another blatant attempt to impede the project’ activities. PayPal restricted the project’s account again and requested additional data 24 days ago (on April, 15). We have been granted 28 days to provide the data or our account will be suspended (deleted). This is the exact same request that we
Dear friends, As some of you might have already heard from the social media, Peter Lavelle and Alexander Mercouris have decided to create a new media ressource: The Duran which can be found at http://theduran.com/ Since I consider both Peter and Alexander as friends and crucial brothers in arms, I am delighted to see them team up and create a new member of our “network of resistance”. As soon as
Dear friends, I will be honest – I need a break. And since Orthodox Christians will be celebrating Holy Paskha this coming Sunday, I have decided to “more or less close down” the blog for a few days. Meaning that if I have some time, I might post something (especially if something big happens). But other than that, please consider us all on break. I am not sure when I
Dear friends, It is with great sadness that I have to address the crisis at Russia Insider. I am heartbroken at seeing people whom I consider as respected friends now in an open conflict. I have waited as long as I could before addressing this issue because I wanted to speak to all the parties involved and ask for the opinion and assessment of a few trusted friends. However, since
Has the Saker blog been hijacked by the CIA? You think that it is a crazy question? So do I. But not everybody agrees. Nevermind that I have created an entire community of blogs whose sole aim is to denounce, oppose and resist against Empire in all its forms, some apparently believe that the CIA has somehow hijacked my blog or maybe co-opted/brainwashed/broken/submitted/etc. me. Why? Because I post articles which
“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never,
Note by the Saker: I would compare the importance of the events in Srebrenica only to 9/11 in terms of the immense consequences resulting from them and in terms of the determined efforts made by the Empire to conceal the reality of what took place in 1995 and 2001. The big difference is that while many people do care about the truth about 9/11, most people think that Srebrenica is
Dear friends, I consider Pepe Escobar not only as an absolutely fantastic journalist, but also as a friend. I have the utmost admiration and respect for Sibel Edmonds. [UPDATE & Sidebar: I was not aware of Sibel Edmonds’ anti-Russian, anti-Putin and anti-RT nonsense – frankly I had not heard of her in a long time – and today I was made aware of this crap. Oh well, this is very
Dear friends, In the past we were lucky enough to a generous sponsor who paid for the costs of our servers in Iceland. This person has now retired from his job and cannot continue to support us. We are trying trying to find a new sponsor willing to donate the funds needed for our servers. Our servers are hosted by the company Advania (https://advania.com/) and the costs are as follows:
Dear friends, I just wanted to drop you all a small note to thank you for your unwavering support and immense kindness, especially those of you who have written me extremely kind and supportive letters. The last time I went to check my PO Box thinking that I would get the usual portion of commercial garbage (in the USA when you rent a PO Box you cannot, as in Europe,

Dear friends, Thank you so much for your response to my appeal! You have responded in large numbers and many of you have send generous donations for which I am immensely grateful. Also, I have been contacted by a lawyer who has agreed to help me. So, yet again, the community has made a miracle happen. I am both amazed and most grateful. One more thing: since this appeal was
Dear friends, I was putting off this post over and over again, but now I really have no other option than to finally post it. Here is the deal: I need your help. First, it has been many, many months (over 6 for sure) since I have made a appeal for donations and while a few good hearts have continued to send in support (thanks guys!!), the donations have slowed

Dear friends, Looks like Amazon is, yet again, playing the little “out of stock” game with my book. This is the 3rd or 4th time already. The recent review of the book by Paul Craig Roberts has triggered a run on the book which can still be ordered on Amazon, but you would have to wait until they re-stock (usually in 7-10 days in my experience). So, if you do
A Grand Book From The Saker by Paul Craig Roberts Several years ago a new commentator appeared on the scene. He writes under the pen name, The Saker, and describes himself as European born son of Russian refugees from the Bolshevik Revolution. He has two US college degrees and worked in Europe as a military analyst until his opposition to the US/NATO sponsored wars in Chechnia, Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo

Dear friends, Good news! In the same spirit which makes me write a weekly column for the Unz Review and which makes me post weekly contribution by Alexander Mercouris from Russia Insider, I have made an agreement with the folks at the Greanville Post: they will be regularly posting my articles on the GP and I will regularly post their articles on the blog. This is a very informal arrangement
