Hillary, Jeb, Rand or does it make a difference anyway?
In my post this morning I failed to realize how many new readers there are on this blog, so I did not repeat things which I had sad many times in the early years of this blog. Your comments and questions made me realize that I needed to clarify my view of the US political system.First – I see the USA as run by a tiny elite which is good
Paul Craig Roberts and Glenn Greenwald are right: Hillary is truly dangerous
I have just read Paul Craig Roberts’ article “The Next Presidential Election Will Move The World Closer To War“. In the article, PCR refers to an article by Glenn Greenwald entitled “Cynics, Step Aside: There is Genuine Excitement Over a Hillary Clinton Candidacy“. Both authors agree that the possibility of Clinton becoming President is very bad news, PCR even mentions the risk of war.Sadly, I have to agree with both

The Nazi plan for Novorussia: children bombed into basements and total war
You probably have not heard about that, but the Junta in Kiev has officially declared that it plans to suspend the European Convention on Human Rights in Novorussia. Of course, considering that Poroshenko has also declared that he is ready for ‘total war’ with Russia, this is hardly surprising, and it’s not like the Ukrainian death squads have ever let any kind of human rights stand in the way of
Second Saker Podcast available for download and streaming
Dear friends, I just finished recording the 2nd podast. You can grab it here:https://sites.google.com/site/sakerpodcast/home/saker-podcast-2-1As always, I look forward to hearing your comments, suggestions and criticisms. Please let me know how I can do better.As I might have mentioned it in the past, the long term solution I have chosen is to have the future podcasts embedded in the new website (which is still being worked on by volunteers). For the
The AngloZionist Empire has truly become an “Empire of Illusions”
This is bizarre. The recent two summits (APEC and G20) have, I would argue, ended up as a disaster for the US and its allies (see here, here and here) while Russia, China and the rest of the BRICS are clearly in control of the situation, yet there are still those who believe the western corporate media which wants to portray Putin are Russia as “weak”. I suppose in our
The key sentence in Putin’s interview with the German TV channel ARD
You can read the full interview here: http://eng.kremlin.ru/news/23253But the following quote is, I believe, crucial: Today there is fighting in eastern Ukraine. The Ukrainian central authorities have sent the armed forces there and they even use ballistic missiles. Does anybody speak about it? Not a single word. And what does it mean? What does it tell us? This points to the fact, that you want the Ukrainian central authorities to
Obama in retreat on MH17
by Alexander Mercouris Amidst all the hysteria about what western leaders said to Putin during the Brisbane G20 summit (answer: nothing new or important), the media has entirely ignored certain very interesting comments about MH17 that Obama made in his speech at the University of Queensland. His precise words (taken from the White House website) were as follows: “We’re leading the international community in the fight to destroy the terrorist
Igor Strelkov’s views – in his own words
Dear friends,I came across this rather interesting compilation by Sputnikpogram of statements by Igor Strelkov made between 2011 and 2013 and I decided that it was important enough to ask my Russian Team to translate it to share it with you (Translation: Gideon; Editing: Heather, Kristin – thanks a lot guys, you rock!). There is a lot of stupid speculation about what Strelkov does or does not believe or stand
A Serbian Fighter’s Story
Dejan “Deki” Beric is a Serbian volunteer fighter serving with the Novorussia Armed Forces in defense of the Donbass. In this interview with journalist Ivan Maksimovic, Beric, a sniper, explains his motivations and the political atmosphere in his homeland. For centuries now Serbs and Russians have fought alongside one another, and the journey of Beric and other Serbs can be viewed as a continuation of this fraternal bond. Translated by
New MH17 satellite photos – a warning
by Alexander Mercouris I have deliberately helped back on the story about the satellite photos that supposedly show a Ukrainian fighter shooting down MH17 to see what the response would be, whether any more evidence would come to light and what the Russian government and military would say about them . In the event the Russian government and military have ignored them as I notice to a great extent have
Igor Strelkov interview about “Novorossia” public movement [eng subs]
What would it take? (UPDATED)
We all know the mantra by now: “Putin is in cahoots with the West! Putin is a puppet of the world oligarchy! Putin sold out Novorussia! Putin only pretends to oppose the Empire!”. We heard it all year long.Then came Putin’s Valdai speech. It was not anything new, he had said very similar things in 2007: the world hegemony of the USA was unacceptable and it would be stopped. But
The Šešelj Case: Justice At Last?
by Stephen Karganovic After almost twelve years of extra-judicial agony at the Detention Unit of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia at the Hague, on November 12 Serbian political leader Vojislav Šešelj returned home to Belgrade. True, the circumstances of his release (regarded as “provisional” in the terminology of the Tribunal which incarcerated him) leave quite a few more questions than they provide answers. To state just a
Mini post off the road
I am quite sure that the photo of the MH-17 being shot down is fake. The military aircraft appears to be a SU-27, the angle is wrong, as is the side of the attack, and this is not a satellite picture. To Pen Gun, the 68 year old offended hippie: in the Russian context “liberal” means something very different from what it means in the USA.Now I hit the road again.Next
Hodgepodge of this and that
Dear friends,Unfortunately, I need to hit the road for two trips these next couple of days and until Monday my schedule will be rather crazy. This post will therefore be a “hodgepodge of this and that” in which I will try to plug a few holes.Old Ez posted this question: Saker you should do more – many more! – of these cultural write-ups. The cultural aspect of this war is
MH17: more proof that the Ukies did it
The Russian newspaper MK has obtained a screenshot of the recording of a civilian Russian radar screen in Rostov – just east of the Russian-Ukrainian border. This is what is shows: What this image shows is 20 minutes of recording of the airspace before and after the shooting down of MH17. The course of MH17 is shown in purple while the numerous little blue “T” shaped objects in the circle
“Submarines in the desert” (as my deepest gratitude to you)
Foreword I have been thinking about writing this post for several months now. But in a world were everything coming from the heart is misconstrued as some form of posturing, I was frankly afraid to do so. Also, writing that kind of stuff is not what bloggers do, much less so those who try to run a halfway credible blog. And yet, every time I got a kind email, a
Ukraine mini-SITREP: still expecting an attack
Novorussia is still expecting a Ukrainian attack. First, according to RT, “Kiev is not fully committed to the ceasefire in eastern Ukraine, Russian deputy UN ambassador Aleksandr Pankin said during Wednesday’s UN Security Council meeting. He added that the Ukrainian military is amassing forces along the front line“. Then from the Novorussian front lines, we have the blogger Colonel Cassad who reports that a friend of his has just visited
