The five stages of (imperial) grief: denial
“La Rua Madureira” by Nino Ferrer
One of his most beautiful songs, and since I am currently working on a version for 2 guitars (and enjoying every second of it), I wanted to also share this with you. The Saker Original French language version: Alternative Italian language version: Thanks to this website: http://guitarejazzmanouche.com/grilles/perso/view/3019/ I found the chords: though I personally prefer to harmonize it as so: Bm7, %, Bbm6(#5), %, Am6, B7, E/Ab, %, Em/G, C#dim7,

Debunking the Fatima hoax
I regularly get questions about the so-called “Fatima apparitions” which have recently become popular again in Latin circles. While the first time around the intention of this hoax was clearly to use the 1917 chaos in Russia to the benefit of the Papacy’s influence (you can read about this disgraceful episode here), the current re-activation of the hoax appears to aim to somehow piggyback the Latin Church unto the current

The AngloZionist family goes on a stroll
This fantastic cartoon was sent to me by a friend who saw it on Moon of Alabama. I did some looking around and the original might well be from here, I am not sure. Whatever may be the case, it gave me such a laugh (I love the little turd at the bottom) that I had to share it with you. Cheers! The Saker
Ney Matogrosso interprets “Oh Moon” – a beautiful song of gratitude
Today I am sharing a song by one of my favorite Brazilian singers, Ney Matogrosso.

Close escort of a cargo plane plays game of peek-a-boo after cargo drop
Absolutely amazing video. Filmed over Syria (hence the very real missiles under the Su-30SM’s wings), check out how a Russian Aerospace pilot comes to say a little “hello” to his friends in the cargo plane. I am awed.
Philip Catherine – Homecomings (1975)
This is the composition which single handedly made me abandon Rock music for Jazz. It still is one of my favorites. Enjoy! The Saker Electric version: Acoustic version: and if you want to learn how to play it, listen to this:

Putin is My Flunky (satirical essay)
By Patrick for the Saker blog It’s amazing to see so many normally sane people foaming at the mouth about Russian interference in American politics. According to their reasoning, the Russians have hacked the Democratic Party and subverted social media to assure a victory for the present occupant of the White House (when he’s not in his NYC tower or at his fancy estate in Southeast Florida). And horror of
