The Saker
“You’re not really talking about Jews. I read your
article and you’re talking about Zionists.”
Very odd interview. The interviewer is I suppose, a sort of educated American who sees the world as an extension of the USA.
The interviewee, Saker, seems more intent on humouring the interviewer than highlighting reality.
The interview seems to be for a middle class American audience that has no understanding of reality in a world perspective.
It is 60pp of copy on my smartfone that doesn’t seem to go anywhere other than a rather soft version of the end of the world as we know it.
The interview seems to consist of the idea that corruption within the US started sometime after the end of WW2, while ignoring the fact that corruption has always been the primary focus of the US from its very inception.
Any country that prides itself on the genocide of the indigenous population (red indians in the USA or Palestinians in Israel) has no moral basis to its culture and no honesty in its national architecture.
This interview is totally superficial and essentially goes nowhere. I would be ashamed to put my name to this charade. Sad.
An interview is only as good as the interviewer.
Catherine is a better guest than host.
She wasted 1.5 hours, mostly.
And it was time frame over a month ago, making it even more irrelevant.
As for US criticisms, the dynamic of the Deep State and MIC corruption is very relevant and important for all to observe. Saker pinpointed why we are suffering the “control” of Trump, fatal flaws and false flags.
Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of friend and foe is important. Saker gets those correct, even explaining the psyche of Russian leadership, the split in the government, and the social awareness of what is wrong with Russia and what the drag is on Russian development and prosperity.
Though the interview was weak, the responses were insightful and knowledgable.
Maybe downloading a short tome to a smartphone is like wearing lead boots to a dance.
You’re not going to have a good evening and the music won’t make any difference.
(Point of fact about China’s credit card: Union Pay. It has been in use in the US for a decade or more. The Russian credit card (MIR) now is in Russia and moving out to CIS and European nations.)
She wasted 1.5 hours, mostly.
Yeah. Her blog is focused on the bankers and the money flows. An important aspect of current reality, but only one aspect. It was all she could talk about. I wished she would let him talk more.
The Saker has probably the most complete picture of the news I normally read. There are other forces at work than the simple movements of money.
Ha! Banker and money flow ? Last time they spoke it was hysterical as she defended the tribe over and over saying that the Vatican and the wasps were in control.
well, Pirouette – she has thousands of what you seem to think are boring middleclass American subscribers – the backbone of any country-
The best of this interview was during the last 10 minutes.
I’ve found that self proclaimed “spiritually evolved people” usually are not those when push comes to shove who sacrifice for principle.
That these folks at her conference were not willing to push the red button shows very clearly that they are not the ones who are going to “go local. ” So who might be? There is no radical shift in consciousness so this belies her belief that this can happen locally in ” place based” , 3100 counties one at a time. I wish it were so and hope that it will be soon.
Twilight’s Last Gleaming by Greer is an awesome book and entirely believable. I donated it to the lending library where I live and it quickly started to make the rounds . Thanks, Saker.
We do what we can and must. It looks as if the evil ones will overplay their hand and try to start a race war possibly with urban riots which is what I though they would do last summer, but they were too arrogant and dismissive of the American people then. Now they feel thwarted. I hope this does not happen.
The same passage irritated the heck out of me, as well. “Consciousness” my posterior.
“As useless as tits on a boar hog.” is a fairer description of such New Age phonies, IMHO.
People whose physical comfort comes first, automatically, reflexively, are about as conscious as a house cat. Nice pet slaves for the Empire of Evil, who they serve unconsciously, dead asleep, with no discomfort at all, whereas it should make them so spiritually sick that they begin to take courageous acts they never knew they were capable of, until, miracle of miracles, they are in the midst of right action, because that has become who and what they are.
yeah, but Teranam 13 – you have a credit card right ? So you’re actually supporting the bad guys –
I mean I’ve heard Catherine tell a story about a bunch of wall street bankers standing on the fourth floor in NYC watching a demonstration against Wallstreet – and the bankers were laughing, because they knew, that every person walking down that street had a credit card or three, in their wallet –
So are you supporting local ?
Nice against the grain comment. that should raise some back hairs.
However, the piece of plastic is only a ball and chain if its user loses financial awareness to the point that he or she cannot pay off the balance in full on every single monthly statement.
Let’s see how non-usurious the competing Multi-polar World cards are. I may switch if they hand out applications on the next flight to Russia! Or China. Especially if they offer airline “miles” the less aware card users are in effect paying for when the frequently fail to pay off their balances in full.
Meanwhile, by putting almost every expense on my plastic for the last 20 years and paying the balance in full 99.9% of the time, a significant number of “free” miles were accumulated, sufficient to pay numerous round trips, both LAX -Frankfurt- St Petersburg-Frankfurt- LAX and also…..St Petersburg -Franfurt- LAX_ Frankfurt- St Petersburg for the mother and father in law visits..
If I were more important, yes, I would be much more concerned about my every move being tracked by the Empire super computer, and would really bear down on those two Saker articles about cyber security.
But I only know of general crimes committed by the minions of Empire, and, unlike Seth Rich, I hold no specific court admissable evidence that could take down any specific individuals among their masters and minions.
So, I walk neither in fear nor extreme caution.
Fear supports the bad guys much more than one of their pieces of plastic. Actually makes one almost as much of a slave to the System of Fear and Domination (Empire) as they are.
HI Ann, I pay off my balance every month and my credit card is through a local cooperative bank ,a credit union which, by the way goes into caniption fits over SWIFT transfers so , sigh, guilty as changed I do have an account with a venal corporate bank–but no credit card. So am I off the hook? ( teasing here) .
When you use a card to send $$$ to Saker it gets there instantly and safely. And, yes, it is tracked.
Try : in the world but not of the world.
well, my point was that lots of people support the bankers – its good that you are local – I am not being sarcastic – but lots of people aren’t – and that doesn’t make them bad people – but those are the people that Catherine is targeting – if we can get them on our side its the main body of the country – the middleclass city folk –
I enjoyed the show. I wish Fitts would not lecture the guest on Russian oligarchic $, and would encourage her to let the guest “lead”, for example: I enjoyed the part at 30+min, and would really like to know about what the Saker’s hearing about life in the Universities of the United States these days.
I would encourage the host to let the guest wander into his or her areas of expertise (maybe mil/strat/comm/history/soc/ and the subjects of his book, rather than popular psychology (IMO)…
That said, if you’ve been here a while, CA Fitts was one of the first people to interview the Saker (if I remember right). I don’t agree with her on many things, so what? She put him and this site out there.
The show definitely had its laughs and moments. Saker as usual great in the audio realm.
Anyone who’s done radio or podcasts knows that we all have our “off days” (or nights). I’ve personally had worse. [My .0000000001 BTC]
sound like she’s not even sure about Assad – ? I love Assad –
and that red button story just happened in British Columbia – the Liberals got back in – voted in by the majority of people in BC – the Liberals have been ripping BC off for decades –
But no one – meaning the main voting body – wanted change – ??
Agree with Ann — not sure I buy that button story. Sounds like it happened at Esalen or somewhere like that. Not a single person? Rich Cali people at a New Age seminar? Hardly representative of the US no matter what the coastal inhabitants think. Portland and SF and NYC are not the flyovers, the “deplorables”, i.e. “us”.
Inadequate background info is your sticking point. Anyone familiar with her knows the story, so she skipped over what the choice entailed : either justice and consequential big stock market losses OR stay well-off via status quo ante. People (these were wealthy ones concerned over the economy) overwealmingly voted Tory (you might say).
PS : add Gilad Atzmon and the three (Saker, Fitts & Atzmon) pretty much cover all the bases. (IMO).
I have just read the transcript, and that took me some time.
My first thoughts are that it’s highly interesting, although my first insights are that Catherine Austin Fitts elaborated a lot about her own ideas, but it was lightyears away from an ordinary interview. So, both of you, thank you for that. I downloaded the file to have it read by my children when they are ready for it.
A point of doubt for me is the planned invasion of Lebanon. I think your analyses are right. However, many have tried that. The IDF, the US military, the Syrian forces – they have al tried and fled eventually. It’s like entering a beautiful vally full of flowers and suddenly you realize that the flowers are poisonous.
I like to invite everybody reading here to read the book ‘Pity the nation’ by Robert Fisk. It has been awarded with the Pulitzer price. He describes in this book how Lebanon ticks, and what happens during many years of civil war. You may want to sit down for it, while the book is over 1000 pages. The start of it is chilling, it starts in Poland or better said Auschwitz. Fisk explains that at a certain moment the furnaces couldn’t handle the bodies anymore, and that thousands of bodies were burned somewhere in the woods outside the camp. Nobody could say how many thousands. He visited the place, accompanied with a guard, and notices that the whole place just reflected death. Nothing grew. A place that represented one of the most killings in Europe was just there, without any sign or memorial. And then Fisk asked the guard why they needed guards anyway. The guard responded that they were needed because uptil now people tried to break in into the camp and chase with metal detectors to find hidden jewelry of the Jews gassed there.
It send chivers down my spine when I read that.
(I am fully aware that some commentators here are no fans of him. That’s ok to me. I like to read his opinions and think something of it. You may too. My overall opinion of him that he is brave, wise, and I’m amazed that he is still alive and even more that he is still sane after all the atrocities he has met. But that’s my opinion, I will also respect yours.)
Overall, this interview has highly entertained me. Thank you.
Fisk has the best grasp on the history of the Levant, Syria included. Of late, he has sided against Assad, which coincides with the Hegemon, British and Israelis. I read his mammoth history The Great War for Civilization: The Conquest of the Middle East.,2007.
Profoundly illuminating.
I agree that it is amazing he is alive. Few allies, virtually unknown to popular readers and mass media (scant appearances).
His histories are basic if you want the truth as basis for your future opinion or analysis.
He changed after the Rafic Hariri assassination bombing in 2005.
Here’s a good 2009 article from Fisk:
http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/commentators/fisk/who-killed-mr-lebanon-the-hunt-for-prime-minister-rafiq-hariris-assassins-1231542.html
Thanks for the recommended book. I respect Robert Fisk. In his book about the mid East he documents most painfully the Armenian Holocaust including going out to slaughter sites with 80 year old survivor-witnesses. He is very exhaustive in his approach.
Fisk explains that at a certain moment the furnaces couldn’t handle the bodies anymore, and that thousands of bodies were burned somewhere in the woods outside the camp. Nobody could say how many thousands. He visited the place, accompanied with a guard, and notices that the whole place just reflected death. Nothing grew. A place that represented one of the most killings in Europe was just there, without any sign or memorial. And then Fisk asked the guard why they needed guards anyway. The guard responded that they were needed because uptil now people tried to break in into the camp and chase with metal detectors to find hidden jewelry of the Jews gassed there.
Mr. Fisk may well have a comprehensive and detailed grasp of the history of the Levant. But if the above is a fair sample of the kind of thing he believes actual “history” to consist of, his books should be filed under “fiction.”
Deficits don’t matter in the western world. The printing press makes the world go around! Insanity and then collapse of everything.
Deficits do matter. The higher the better. Private debts, corporate debts, public debts. This way the bankers not only end up owning everything, but also end up control everything. Win win by the way of debt slavery – or deception – as Mossad prefers to call it.
It can be argued that balance of trade deficits “do not matter”. However, Sovereign budget deficits do indeed matter. Governments must borrow money from central banks. Interest must be paid on this debt and the government must rely on the willingness of the central bank to continue to issue credit. In the US, this role is served by the Federal Reserve System. Effectively a privately-owned and independent contractor to which Sovereign powers (control of the money supply) are delegated.
Central banks answer to the Bank for International Settlements, not their respective governments. The US or other government does not have the power to “print money” if that were the case, then the US Government would have no deficit and no debt. A better system would involve the Government directly controlling the money supply and issuing its own currency rather than “Federal Reserve Notes”. This is not the status quo however.
Yes,you nailed it
End the Fed Too big not to End!
Great point about masonic doctrine now mainstream. Key insight. The same applies to the Catholic Church. Vatican II “aggiornamento” was the takeover of the Church by masonic clergy–essentially the destruction of the Church.
I totally disagree with Saker that the Catholic Church is irrelevant – the Catholic Church in America – closely allied with the Vatican in Italy – is the number 1 biggest owner of real estate in the USA – after the government –
So what are they doing with that money ? Another Deep State – or perhaps the same Deep State –
to me, a deeply dissapointing part was her asking andrey if he knew
/knew of daniel estulin that she was recently in consultation with (!!!!) i mean, would she not recognise a blatent disinfoist even when he stared he in the face????
i got a sigh of relef when in response, saker simply said: no.
good on you saker.. there is no wisdom to draw from this individual, not worth hearing of to say the least.
best sishes, lb
