After a week of absolute horrors (more then I can publicly reveal), I can finally come back to report to you some very good news. First, the French Saker blog is back online, this time with a new domain name http://lesakerfrancophone.fr/ and a very good team with many (or possibly most) of those who worked for the original French Saker blog. Second, my appeal for IT help was heard and
First, from the horse’s mouth: then these other sources: www.focus-fen.net/… www.euractiv.com/… euobserver.com/… rt.com/business/… Here is a useful graphic from RT article above:
by Aleksei Kettunen GAZPROM–EU: 6–0 Yesterday on Wednesday the EU negotiated with Gazprom in Moscow. The EU negotiators had three aims: Pressure Russia into extending the special winter pricing on gas supplies to Ukrainian due to end in March, Force Russia to further unilateral concessions by forcing all European energy purchases to happen through a new “European Energy Union”, Pressure Russia to resurrect the canceled South Stream gas pipeline
First, I was a little skeptical. Then more and more sources confirmed what seems to be a fact: Russia will completely stop the delivery of gaz through the Ukraine and all Russian gaz will now flow through Turkey (see Bloomberg and LifeNews). Not only that, but the Russians have told the Europeans that if they want Russian gaz, they will have to build their own pipeline to Turkey at pay
The latest issues of Charlie Hebdo has been printed at 3 million copies (some sources said 5 million). They go on ebay for up to 300 Euros. RT reports that “Sunni Islam’s most renowned center of learning, Al-Azhar in Cairo, said that the cartoons “stir up hatred” and “do not serve the peaceful coexistence between peoples.” Tabnak, a conservative online outlet in Iran, wrote that “Charlie Hebdo has again insulted
by Jiwan Kshetry It goes without saying that the new set of iconoclasts condemning the unjustified bravado of Charlie Hebdo, including this author, loathe the terrorists as much as anyone else and there is no question of justifying their grisly deeds. It is merely to remind the triumphant supporters of absolute ‘freedom of expression’ that if you sow poison, you cannot expect to harvest otherwise. …………………….. Journalists using
Dear friends, I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the outpouring of support you have shown me over the past days: thanks for the numerous emails, comments and donations. Speaking about which, I am happy to report that I now have received enough money to cover my legal costs and to pay my webmaster – so no need to send more! I cannot discuss
By this morning there have been already over 50 attacks against Muslims in France. The next number of Charlie Hebdo will feature a frontpage caricature of the Prophet Mohammed. This issue will be printed at 3 million copies in 16 languages ( as opposed to 60’000 only in French). Numerous Russian and Novorussian sources are now reporting large tank movements towards key Novorussian cities. There has also been massive shelling
Dear friends, Some of you might now that I have banned the topic of climate change. I did not do a very good job enforcing that. I have to now add two more topics to the banned list: any discussion about the former French Saker or former Serbian Saker blogs or anybody associated with them or any entity linked in any way with any of the persons associated with them
This one from “Euromaidan Press“:
You might have heard that “Yats” has made a great recently: according to him during WWII the USSR invaded the Ukraine and Germany. I would expect no less of him. But the truly pathetic part came from the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs which declared that it respected Yats’ right to free speech. Clearly, “Yats is Charlie”. In other news, the Ukrainian junta has resumed and even dramatically stepped up
RT Reports… The unprecedented public response to the Charlie Hebdo shootings in France could be organized by those who want to stir anti-Islamic sentiment and distract people from other problems, claims the leader of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov. The head of the Chechen Republic explained his position through his longtime medium of choice – the Instagram photo sharing service. In an extensive post accompanying a picture of himself
So up to 3 million people took to the streets of Paris, including 40 heads of state, to denounce the murders of 17 victims of a streak of Takfiri terror attacks this past week. Where were they? Where were these 3 millions and 40 heads of state when abject Takfiri terror was unleashed against the people of Afghanistan? Nowhere. Where were these 3 millions and 40 heads of state when
Dear friends, First, the words “thank you” don’t even begin to cover the gratitude I feel for the outpouring of support from all of you. You have apparently also drowned out the haters who have suddenly turned very shy :-) The crisis is far from over, but here are a few rapid items I need to share with you: a) If you want to contact me to help with technical
Dear friends, What is happening right now is huge, we are dealing with nothing less than a full-scale “French September 11th“, no less. At this point, I am not saying that the French state did it, or even let it happen. But what is certain is that at the very least the French state and the corporate media are making maximal use of the various terrorist murders in France to
