Dear friends,
I am going to make this one real short. First, I am only addressing this to those of you who are, shall we say, financially comfortable. Second, this is in no way a fund-raiser. We agreed that these would only happen quarterly and we are nowhere near the middle of Fall. Third, I will simply state the following: things are rapidly getting very dangerous in the Ukraine and even much more so in Syria. Yet, right now instead of producing analyses, I am struggling to pay my bills. So, IF you can, now would be an ideal time to help me. If you are also struggling, then just say a prayer for me.
Many thanks in advance for either form of support,
The Saker
Dear Saker!! I just donated and will try to send more next month….Thanks for your ardent defense of socialism and your opposition to oppression!! It is very difficult here in the “belly of the beast”!! But do not despair – many new young people are becoming activists for real social change!! Best Wishes!!
Just donated.
Hi Saker done! I sent my small contribution. Hope more will follow us. Keep up enlightening us. Do not loose your faith. I ve made a comment before that it would be impossible for Russia to avoid a direct confrontation with the US, this is unfortunately showing up now.
Saker, just a query as you have probably stated before on your blog. How did you come to live in the US?
Sorry my email I have to use to log in, but, I lost the password to the email years ago and gave up on the merrygoround to get another PW. So I will not be able to respond to an email reply.
Regards Pamela
Pamela..
if you click on “About the Saker” button on right hand side, your question, plus many more will be answered.
Thanks Babushka :)
A small token of my thanks and support. I hope I can do more later.
Thank you Saker for reminding me and for all your brilliant analyses!
I just sent USD 50.
All test best,

Just donated. Keep up the vital work you do.
I can’t give every month, but I will so when I can – your work is simply too valuable to let it go down just because of a lack of funds.
If anything counts, I’m on the patreon with a very small pledge. Coming from the “dispensable” third world, this is all I can manage
But may the good lord bless you with more wisdom and cause you to be an agent of positive change in the world.
And last but not the least, may he ease your suffering
Just signed up for a (small) monthly contribution – sorry I cannot give more. Your work is highly valued, and extremely important!
Just donated.
Thank you for this site! It’s indispensable in this crazy time.

Hi Saker, thanks a lot for you enthusiastic endeavor.
Keep on rocking !
We are the sand in the gears of the beast :)
The PayPal link just takes me to the PayPal general site. What is the email address to use for the donation?
saker.analytics@gmail.com
Sending you prayers brother. Thank you for the good work. Keep on keepin’ on!
I am sending a small contribution via snail-mail. Your presence here in this world at this blog at this particular juncture in history is too valuable to let you go under from lack of support for those who wish our progeny to live in a sane and inhabitable world.
Love,
John
I have just used Patreon to support you monthly.
–
It was high times to do this. I read this blog for quite some time, and I consider it as one of my best info channels and a real spearhead in the info war. I feel sorry that I have not supported you earlier.
–
Keep on the good work; I wish all the best for you, your team and your families.
Peace!
Saker, anyone, which one is preferred, PayPal or Patreon.
(ie which one has lower fees)
Thanks
A Lurker.
The information should be on the individual sites. Mod
It is right on the Patreon front page:
Patreon takes 5% of the payments, and the transaction fees are another 5% (roundabout).
Hi Saker,
It always makes me sad to hear you are struggling, while on the other side of front, bad guys funnel their support to their rotten cause with truckloads of dough… not that I envy them.
I contributed modest amount, and I hope everyone with means to transfer will contribute, as every bit counts, so please do it, don’t be lazy.
Cheers Brothers!
Making it easier to do:
I donated in the past by snail mail and small “Grants” ($50 bills).
Getting some Bitcoin is easier, and now less worrisome……. Just did it with small 2 digit dollar equivalent in Bitcoin asking for a confirmation email of its receipt.
Got an email back that said “Confirmed!” and completed the donation with a second transfer some 8+ times larger the next day. All you do is copy sakers bitcoin address:
17GT5FHp1dzKxg6JKXhPg2YYFusxazDc5B
and paste into the box for “recipient address”
Easy-peasy!
Plus, if you can’t seem to wrap your brain cells around the crytpo idea..(.it took me a few years to notice it, a few months to chew on it….a couple of weeks to do it..)……amarynth and others who have ventured forth earlier into crypto waters are around…to help on the theory and practice, if you can’t swim.
Look in Community Cooperative if you missed the article.
Don’t ask me anything yet. Barely dog-paddling. But safe!
Very nice Bro!
In the spirit of helping – Bitcoin itself is very expensive at this moment to transfer over the Bitcoin Blockchain. Ethereum – Eth or commonly known as Ether, is much cheaper, literally just a few snippets of ‘gas fees’.
So, for anyone that want to donate with Eth (also a crypto currency and the 2nd most used one now), here is the Ethereum address:
0x8548cBa0039A83935d7c94658Ab016F6b0e16D8b
Crypto currencies are the cheapest way to avoid fees. Patreon has fees, Paypal has fees, Crypto currencies have small fees. Both Patreon and Paypal will cancel an account if the content of the site makes them uncomfortable. Remember Wikileaks where they just with no notice cancelled their accounts and that has happened many times with many other truth speakers. So, in the long run, crypto is the way to go and we will write more about that.
Thank you for the donations coming in to Patreon which is the account that I manage.
It is now time to step up to the plate and donate. The Patreon account income reduced over 50% between the months of July and August. Bear in mind that it is a monthly contribution and you have to cancel, reduce or increase your contribution yourself – you have control over your own account and can decide if you want to let it go through in a specific month, or not.
TheSaker.is through the Patreon account, contributes modest support in turn to others, e.g., Dmitry Orlov. So, we really stretch those contributions in the small part that I have visibility to.
Did you see the piece that Charles Bausman from Russia Insider posted about our own Saker? Here it is: http://russia-insider.com/en/politics/please-support-invaluable-geo-political-strategist-saker/ri21043
I am from Serbia so I cannot donate much really.
Anyway, I am puzzled that you speak about very dangerous situations in Ukraine and Syria, while the whole world is talking about possible nuclear war between North Korea and the US.
Cheers.
Just donated $50.00 Enjoy your work a great deal.
I’m there, Saker, via monthly on Patreon.
Thanks for the work!
Sent you some BTC Saker – I’ve been lurking far too long without supporting this community. Thank you for your insights, and I agree with Victor that your blog is much too important to be impacted by a lack of funding.
Sending cash by snail mail.

Just sent my modest contribution.
Still time to comment on your initiative to eliminate “non-civilized” comments on your blogs?
Jean-Marie
Yes, Jean-Marie, but quickly, as I’m now getting all the comments together so that The Saker can make some decisions.
Dear Saker,
just donated about my usual amount. Keep up your good work.
Best regards,
Marcel
