Ever since the 23 December 1913 Federal Reserve Act and the ensuing two world wars, the magnates of the
Okay, I will admit it. I am biased. Not only is Scott my Director of Research, but he also is somebody I care deeply for. And yet, even though I am biased I don’t even have to appeal to my bias to say that I absolutely loved “The Enemy of the State”. Friends, this text is extremely well written. I began reading it late at night (during the day I
Friends, Dunno about you, but I really like what the News Flashbang Show has been producing and each video is better than the previous one. So, please, help them either by a contribution or by volunteering!! Don’t let another talent go to waste and help the good guys fight the information war against the multi-billionaires and their propaganda machine. Just do it! Thanks, The Saker
As a longtime Vysotsky lover I am deeply moved by seeing these Swedish musicians sining his greats songs translated in Swedish. Music is really a universal language :-) The Saker
The Enemy of the State, an excerpt from How To be Russian: A Biography of Tatyana Sannina, by Scott Humor My dear friends, As I have announced prior, I took a month off to finish a book of my geo-political articles. But since it’s still summer in the Northern Hemisphere, and I am melting in the unbearable heat, I’ve decided to offer for your entertainment an excerpt from a different

This article has been written for the Unz Review: http://www.unz.com/tsaker/syria-and-the-coup-in-turkey/ This week has been marked by two major events: the USA and Russia agreed to a common plan for military coordination in Syria and the failed coup in Turkey has been followed by a massive purge of the Turkish elites. Syria: The Russians had really no option but to accept to work with the USA in Syria. They way in
Reaction of Elena Isinbaeva, two-time Olympic gold medalist (2004 and 2008), a three-time World Champion (2005, 2007 and 2013), the current world record holder. She has never been implicated in any doping scandal. Translation: All which an athlete had to do what to jump high enough, pass the test and compete. Thank you for the funeral of track and field athletics. This is motivated solely by political expediency. All the

Caveat one: Wishful thinking is considered bad, pollyannish, naïve, deluded, etc. Fine. I will plead “guilty” to all of these and boldly proceeded to express some terminal wishful thinking. I will do that because I do believe that it is sometimes important to set aside such otherwise precious things as realism and the so-called “real world” and to unabashedly proclaim that the world we live in is not the world
by GH Eliason Is Fethullah Gulen the feeble, kindly imam that mainstream media is making him out to be? Hardly. What this article will show is that Gulen is instead a career ultra-nationalist bent on carving up the Middle East and Asia. Gulen is on a mission to destroy Russia and China by cutting out territory that contains Turkic peoples from both nations. Important to understand is Gulen is at

Note by the Saker: Guy Mettan has kindly accepted my invitation to reply to some of the critical comments I made in my review of his excellent book ““The West vs Russia – a thousand year long war: russophobia from Charlemagne to the Ukrainian Crisis”. While I obviously disagree with this conclusions, as he does with mine, and while I welcome and even encourage an open and frank debate on
by Imran N. Hosein Turkish President Erdogan is, of course, quite correct that there was US (and hence NATO) involvement in the attempted coup against his government. He is also quite correct in his accusations against the Turkish Sufi Shaikh, Fathullah Gulen, accusing him of involvement in the coup. It would have been more honest of Erdogan, however, if he had also disclosed that he knew that the coup was
