Dear friends,
I have not been bringing up this topic since July 4th and instead I have posted appeals for others. As a result, donations have, yet again, come to an almost complete fullstop (thanks to the few who did send them in!!!!). In contrast, the bills have continued to come in with an enviable regularity. As a result, I am again “drowning” in bills in struggling to make ends meet. So, as much as I hate doing this, I have to appeal for your help again: if you can, please help. Please appreciate that huge amount of work I put in this blog (at least the equivalent of a full time job!) and that I offer all of it completely free of charge and free of any advertisements. Surely the fact that you don’t have obnoxious pop-up popping up all over the page, no ads and no paywall for “premium” content deserves some recognition and support?
Please help me continue my work and not worry about making ends meet!
Thank you very much in advance,
The Saker
appeal for help: check in mail… Is there a Beruit color utility revolution going on? ( but with garbage instead of electricity as in Armenia this time around?) And are the refugees being used against Macedonia as a zombie apocalypse ( no cynicism here truly but those who could direct this are surely at a lower lever than even the cynic).
I did my painful part, now it’s your turn by making another podcast :)
fair enough – you got it!
any specific topic you would like to hear about?
cheers

Till today I’m wondering about the right sector in ukraine. During the maidan (it seems to me) they suddenly appeared (before the coup i’ve never heared about the right sector). But I’m pretty sure the right sector has a longer history especially in the western part of ukraine. Please tell us the history of this movement in the ukraine :)
OK Saker. You caught me at a weak moment (it’s my SS prepayment day for last names starting with “D” at my credit union).
I’ve been neglecting you :’) . because I’ve been helping Anna Tuv in Donetsk. But she’s going to take a break this month while I help the Saker.
Dear Adagio,
Please do NOT stop supporting anybody in Donetsk or the rest of Novorussia if you can. I am struggling with bills, they are struggling with artillery fire and survival: please always help them FIRST, okay? And if the choice is between helping me or them, please always chose them. As for me – just say a small prayer for me :-)
Many thanks and kind regards,
The Saker
You’re the most accurate intel asset that I’ve found on the Russia/Ukraine situation; solid facts, and insightful commentary. You’re well worth supporting, but when you become a global news source please remember that I’ve paid my dues more than once.
Saker, why don’t you put a patreon account(www.patreon.com). It would be a good solution for you.
Done via PayPal.
Just donated $50 :-))
Donation made. Thanks for your hard work.
A podcast looking at the architects, movers n shakers within the neo-con school would be interesting. Links past and present and how they infiltrate and work with other oraniaation maybe?
Regards
Dear Saker,
When I read a plea for financial help from you I always feel a big twinge. That’s because I cannot do more for you than I have been the past months. My check will be in the mail (oh, goodness, how often must you have heard that) by the end of this week with my combined contributions for August and September.
Personally, it would not bother me at all if you decided to accept advertising. I would welcome it, knowing that the ads would help you to, hopefully, at least finance the day-to-day running of The Vineyard and, possibly, to grow into other areas of interest.
Saker, I wish you well. A heartfelt thanks for everything you do to keep us informed.
Done.
Check your PayPal & thank your for your great commentary.
To be perfectly honest, I think advertisements would actually be a good idea.
Realistically, the past is evidence that you can never get enough donations to cover all the costs, isnt it?
Modest donation but coming from the heart.
Done. Limited ads might help.
$30 have gone through PayPal. Thank you for all the hard work on this site!
Done. Keep it coming.
done my usual……………fortruss is getting slow with its ads, so good to be speedy here……………
I am disabled and my husband has not worked in 6+ months, but your information is invaluable, and while it is not much, here is a small donation over and above my monthly amount.
They have banned Southfront today, I will be glad to put them on my server, or even here in iceland would be good? I will be glad to help in that regards also.
Hi Saker, $100 from me is winging its way to you.
Hi saker – I will send a donation this week. regards and thanks for all your work!
Hi Saker, perhaps in exchange for my $50 ‘donation’ maybe some comments/insights on the what the #@$*&! is going on with this never ending Russian-Iran S300 deal?
e.g. “Russian arms exporter still in talks on S-300 deliveries to Iran”
http://tass.ru/en/russia/817170
Then I might be a tad more enlightened and you might feel it is less like charity etc?
What is the ‘Russian’ way of thinking about this transaction etc?
And perhaps Syria as well if it’s related.
Is it some type of traditional ‘dance’ between Russian and ME cultures?
Indian-Russian dynamics seem far more rational by comparison etc.
Thnx.
