Dear friends,
First, as you have already noticed, we are having some problems with our servers. This is why the blog was unreachable during most of Tuesday. The person in charge of our IT security has managed to get the blog back online, but the problem has not been fully resolved and might happen again.
Second, there is a major (CAT3 to CAT4) hurricane headed for the US East Coast. It is too early to predict the kind of damage this hurricane will cause, but it could be major. There is a pretty good chance that my family and I might have to evacuate our home. Also, there are likely to be major power and communications disruption. This might prevent me from accessing the Internet, including my emails and the blog.
For these reasons, possible disruptions in the work of the blog are likely over the next possible days. The blog might also be very slow to load.
I also remind you all that I will try to keep you updated the best I can on the old blog’s address:
http://vineyardsaker.blogspot.com/
Please write down this address.
Finally, our technical problems will also affect all the other Saker blogs which are hosted on our servers in Iceland (i.e. all of them except the French Saker blog).
I will try to keep you informed the best I can.
Hugs and cheers to all,
The Saker
The West would love to disrupt this blog anyway. They will use any methods.
That is what I thought was happening.
Take care Saker.
OK. time to support Saker especially now with resources…Bernie Sanders did it with very small donations by many people ( average was $30) so send Saker something…anything because it counts on more levels than we can imagine.
Stay safe, You should set up a twitter account. It would be handy to get updated info about the blog that way.
Keeping our fingers crossed for you and yours …
Dear Saker,
May you and your family stay safe. God bless you all.
Take care.
Warm regards,
Carmel by the Sea
Glad to see the blog back online.
I imagined the worst (govt or hacker interference) when I repeated could not get to the site.

Saker, get your young tail inland if you haven’t already. You know I’ve got friends in FL and they’ve all headed west as of shortly after dawn your time today. You need to do the same, this is a very dangerous storm and while we can all hope and pray it misses you and yours, better to play it safe. Gather you, your wife, the children and the pets and head west.

I hope everything will be fine and the Hurricane will slow down at shores. Anyway, I’m worried for you and your family.
If your inland from the coast,Lake City/Gainsville area,older house/concrete shelter,stay put.We had hurricanes back in the 40’s/50’s in that area with no problem.HOWEVER, (geoengineeringwatch.org/hurricane-matthew-the-latest-example-of-global-weather-warfare-desperation/ ),a heads up.Say goodby to all that BS construction on the coast/filled in coastal swampland.Stay safe!
Saker, I am sorry but I have to say, What in the world r u doing living in Florida? Religiously, politically and other wise.. not that I am not also making a mistake and living in Connecticut USA, but we should all move out of the west to Russia or middle east !
40 million Russians drilling for nuclear warfare events…
I better leave USA for kurdistan , south east Anatolia, ancient Armenia :)
As Sheikh imran Hosein says, the ship,titanic is stinking in every way possible .. jubilee year is up guys.. get ready, The storm is the least of the worries…
One of the very last places I’d want to move to right now is Anatolia. That would be jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Erdogan is silencing any voices other than his supporters. And violence from the Kurdish struggles can only get worse.Add to that random terrorist attacks from jihadis of one type or the other.Not a good spot to seek “safety” at right now.
You are right, I already know that BUT somebody has to fight as i am willing and getting ready .. I will not go quietly..
Eedogan is nothing but a temporary pupet and a fool for the Hell fire , soon to be finiahed with him after Russia breaks NATI back belive it or not, it does not matter Russia is weaker, authentic Muslims will help and I am ready even if i am not.
Take a look at this short,but very interesting, ’59 Walt Disney film concerning the weather. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRG9PxCkcI0 )
I rarely post here, though I have been reading this blog for years. The standard of the posts here is awesome. I simply can’t write as well as most of you – especially Scott. In the UK (what’s left of it) The Comments are Much Better Than the Articles.
Anyhow – the last time you had a problem – probably about a year ago – I think you thought your domain was about to expire – My son checked you out (he runs an ISP in the UK) – and said you were O.K…don’t worry.
Well he has experience – at moving quite large internet services from the USA to the UK….In fact once he was on an internal flight in a completely different part of the world – on completely different business – a few years ago..He was handed – on the Flight – The Top 3 National Newspapers…
He didn’t understand a word – except he recognised The Third One and Smiled.
He was hosting their Internet Website
So you Russian Yankees will be no problem at all…if you pay your bills on time.
He even accepts US Dollars. I don’t know about this Russian stuff – I think he prefers UK Pounds – but will make allowances…and he is very tolerant if you don’t pay ….for a bit….then if you don’t pay..He has to pay his costs too…You get cut off – but he gives you fair warning…
But yes he might be able to help – even as a backup …but he is running a business – and I love your website and he still lives at home in England and he has a lovely Son…who makes me a Grandad.
I’m Retired. I’ve been drinking alcohol. I will look at your problem tomorrow. Its probably as simple as last time.
Tony
Saker,
I’m trying to learn the Russian language. Could you — or someone else — repeat the Russian word you mentioned in a previous post that essentially translated to: unable to make an agreement, or abide by an agreement? Thanks.
‘ “недоговороспособны”. What that word means is literally “not-agreement-capable” or unable to make and then abide by an agreement’
Saker
Hopefully you won’t get hit by this one, but take care of yourselves.
Stay safe Saker et famille.
We will light candles, and send good wishes through the ether..
The German Saker ist down the forth day. Is there anyone who had information about?
The German site has a system problem which has yet not been fully identified. It will be down until its problem is identified and resolved. ….. mod-hs
Many thanks for the information.
