Dear friends,
What is happening right now is huge, we are dealing with nothing less than a full-scale “French September 11th“, no less. At this point, I am not saying that the French state did it, or even let it happen. But what is certain is that at the very least the French state and the corporate media are making maximal use of the various terrorist murders in France to promote their agenda. We all know what happened the last time around (click here if you forgot).
The house is burning!
For many months now Alain Soral and others have been warning that the French regime is pushing towards a civil war between the Muslim and non-Muslim communities in France and this is exactly what we are seeing, but it is even bigger than France – this is reaching all of Europe now. Considering how my editorial “I am NOT Charlie” was completely misunderstood (or deliberately misinterpreted) I feel the need to specify a few things very clearly and for the record:
First, it does not really matter at this point in time if what we saw in France is a false flag or a case of blow-back just as when a house is burning it matters little who set it on fire, the owner or the neighbor. What matters now is to prevent people from dying in the burning house, only then does it make sense to open an investigation into “who done it”. What matters now is that the house is burning.
Second, there is absolutely zero doubt, none whatsoever, that the AngloZionist Empire is behind the “transnational Takfiri infection” of our planet. It all began during the Cold War and the “brilliant” Brzezinski/CIA plan to unleash the crazies against the Soviet forces in Afghanistan. This is when the US literally financed, organized, trained, equipped and, most importantly, federated the Wahabi freaks for the first time. Since, we saw them in action in Chechina, Bosnia, Kosovo, Libya, Syria, Iraq, and many other places and now we see them “in action” in Paris. Hollande, Sarko and his “unofficial Foreign Minister” Bernard Henri-Levi played a key role in unleashing these monsters against Libya and Syria just as the French “New (pseudo-) Philosophers” like Alain Finkelkraut played a key role in unleashing these monsters against Bosnia. So here is the key point I will stress in bold: the Takfiri maniacs who committed all the murders in France are NOT “children” of the “Islamic Umma” but of the French deep-state and the Anglo-Zionist Empire. They “own” these freaks, not Hassan Nasrallah or Ramzan Kadyrov!
Third, the propaganda machine of the AngloZionist Empire is telling us that “Islam is the enemy” or that “Islam is not compatible with western values”. But to prove their point they use examples which prove nothing: the example of the Takfiri crazies unleashed, I will never cease to repeat it, by the AngloZionists. The merits and faults of Islam as a religion have nothing to do with the events of Paris. Nothing. Takfirism is to Islam what Nazism is to the Western civilization: a vicious and pathological expression of demonic hatred masquerading as the defense of a culture/civilization/religion. Nazism does not “prove” that the West is inherently evil and Takfirism does not prove that about Islam. Now, please pay attention, it *might* be that there is something really wrong (or not) with western civilization or Islam, but you cannot prove that by using the example of Nazism or Takfirism.
[Sidebar: contrary to what a lot of dishonest or plain stupid people accused me of doing, I am NOT an apologist for Islam. As a matter of fact, one of my biggest problems with Islam is its support for the death penalty (which I oppose) and especially its support of the death penalty for blasphemers and apostates (which I find absurd). All I said was that when you deeply offend 1.6 billion people – regardless of who these 1.6 billion people are or what they believe in – you will always and inevitably find 1-5 willing to kill you for doing so. I was not condoning anything, I was explaining it!! How friggin stupid (or dishonest!) not to be able to tell the difference between the two…]
Fourth, just as in 9/11 the very predictable reaction of the French authorities and the rest of the imperial media is to crack down on civil liberties, to create “minutes of hate”, to stir up a bellicose hysteria fed by fear and anger all of which very conveniently take away the public’s attention from the dying EU, the crumbling economy, the exploitation of the poor by the rich 1%ers and the fact that we all live in a society which wants us to become serfs in a planetary empire. I even get the strong feeling that since the AngloZionist plan for the Ukraine is falling apart, they have ‘switched’ from the “Invading Russian Bear” to the “Crazy Muslim Terrorist” narrative to terrify the general population.
[Sidebar: I have been absolutely appalled at RT’s coverage of these events. Somebody at the top of RT clearly has taken the decision to fully endorse this nonsensical “Muslim terrorist threat” narrative and that is a clear sign that the 5th column of “Atlantic Integrationists” has its fingers reaching deep inside the RT top management]
So what does it mean for our community?
It means that we are in for some exceptionally hard times. I have never received as much hate mail than over the past 24 hours. I am accused of being a religious fanatic, a bigot, an unconditional supporter of Islam, of approving of executions, of being a fascist and, of course, an anti-Semite. Second, I have to report that the entire infrastructure of the Saker Community is now at risk due to the resignation of some absolutely crucial persons who have decided to cut all ties with the Saker community due to profound disagreements with my opinions. I am currently scrambling to try to find a solution and the people who resigned have promised me that they will help me in making the transition. Still, it is undeniable that in two crucial aspects we, our entire community, is now extremely vulnerable:
a) the registration of various vineyardsaker.* domain names
b) the IT backup arrangement in case of a technical problem with our servers (whether due to an attack or to a technical issue)
Furthermore, I have had to take the decision to hire a lawyer to help me protect the various vineyardsaker.* websites and myself from potential abusive lawsuits and this will cost me a lot of money and will take some time. Right now, not only is my “thin anonymity” directly threatened, but the very existence of our various blogs is threatened too.
[Sidebar: just as a reminder, I cherish what I call my “thin anonymity” (lots of folks know who I am, as do all the interested governments) because it helps stay focused on issues rather then on persons. Not only am I not interested in any personal recognition, I don’t want to be a topic at all. And I want to keep the inevitable crazies from harassing me with their insanity. So it is very important for me, but if I have to lose it over this crisis then so be it. I rather not, but if there is no other way, I will.]
I will try to cope with all of this, but this will severely disrupt my ability to follow events, analyze the situation, deal with the various community related issues or iron our kinks on the new website. So for the next couple of days/weeks I ask for your understanding and forgiveness.
Furthermore, I think that our community will suffer from a lot of attacks, defections and personal attacks. What the AngloZionists are trying to organize right now is an anti-Muslim lynchmob, their famous “clash of civilizations” and I cannot stand for that. I will not be a bystander to that abomination and I will try as hard as I can to denounce it for the immoral, stupid fraud it is. Not because I am a “closet Islamist” or because I support murdering reporters, but because I categorically refuse to join any lynch mob and because I categorically reject the notion of a clash of civilizations.
[Sidebar: “the clash of civilizations” right? In these difficult times, do you know which two groups of friends came out in my support? Serbs and Muslims who, at least according to the official Imperial narrative are supposed to be enemies, right? So much for the supposed hatred between these people; but then again, Chechens and Russians are also supposed to hate each other while in realty, and much to the AngloZionist’s chagrin, they are fighting the Ukrainian Nazis side by side in the Donbass]
And make no mistake, things are about to get much, much worse. Here is already a link to a photo of a half-naked “Femen” with “f**k the xxx” (here xxx stands for the Quran whose name I did not want to print next to the profanity) written on her chest while she burns and steps on the Quran (please only click to see for yourself if you are not Muslim) here. I fully except that this kind of “exercises in freedom of speech” will multiply and become widespread as will the reactions from Muslims ranging from true ones to false flags.
==>>The current polarization will become worse and more intense<<==
For our community this means that we will lose readers, friends and even collaborators. Make no mistake, those who follow the news on the idiot box are now in a state of total hysteria and they will perceive anybody not joining in as a evil, crazy “Islamofascist“. We will all pay a price for not joining in the general hysteria.
Be prepared and accept that as the price to pay for doing the right thing.
How you can help
Oh boy, know I sure do need your help more then ever before. Please remember that I am ONE GUY and that I cannot do it all alone. So here is what you can do to help:
Problem one: computers and backup/security issues.
Until today we had a system setup in which all the various Saker blogs were automatically backed up into a third-party server. In case of technical crash, or DDoS attack, or cracking-defacing all it would have taken is to switch the attacked domain name to a different IP and the original blog would have been back up again. We lost that yesterday.
So, if you own and run servers and if you are willing to take over this “emergency backup” function please contact me ASAP.
Second, I am now in dire need of backend/server specialists to help with any technical issues related to keeping all the Saker Blogs up and running. If you have that type of skills, please email me ASAP.
Third, I am very concerned that I will further lose webmasters and backend/server specialists. If you have that type of skills, please email me ASAP.
Fourth, my main webmaster (Gevorg in Armenia) has done a stellar job preparing the new blog and he is now most generously donating his time to help me weather this crisis (right now he is literally running the new blog alone with the help of only one pre-moderator for comments). I would ask our community to pitch in and help me collect donations for Gevorg to help him for his dedication. So please send me whatever donation you can for Gevorg and please indicate “for Gevorg” on your PayPal donation.
Problem two: legal expenditures
As I have mentioned, I am going to incur some serious legal costs to try to set up some kind of LLC+trust to find a permanent solution for all the domain names and to protect everybody from abusive legal attacks. So, if you happen to be reasonably well off (sorry, but a small donation will just not help in this case) and if you can help me pay the lawyers to protect the entire community, please help me raise the funds needed to cover the legal costs. If you do send me a contribution for this purpose, please clearly indicate “for legal matters” on your donation or, better, please email me.
Also, if you are a lawyer in the USA and you are willing to work pro bono to help, please contact me.
Now, I think that I will add something which I have been thinking about for a while but never dared to do. But since the house is burning, I might as well I suppose, it ain’t gonna make things worse…
My special appeal to those with big means (financial or other)
I don’t know if you exist, but I will assume that you do. I see you as a person who has been reading the Saker Blog for a while already, and who has seen this community grow in response to the dramatic developments in the Ukraine. Though you are a person with big means (financial or other), you have very much been on “our side” and you have seen how day after day we all – our entire community – have been making a difference. Even though what was originally just a “one anonymous guy’s blog” has turned into a worldwide community of 8 blogs, written in 5 languages on 4 continents it has done so entirely through the time, efforts and dedication of volunteers who did that on their so-called “free time”. And yet we are fighting a huge EMPIRE, with a multi-billion dollars planetary corporate media, backed by a network of plutocrats and financiers which can cough up literally millions of dollars without even a tiny crease in their net worth of bottom line. Some of us are unemployed, or make minimal wage. Most of us, I know that for a fact, live from paycheck to paycheck. Alternatively, some of us have two full-time jobs (like myself, and we still live from paycheck to paycheck). Lenin spoke of the need for “professional revolutionaries”. Well, I sure wish he was alive today to help us. But then, he had rich bankers supporting him (and Trotsky). We don’t. And yet, it is still true that “Pecunia nervus belli” (money forms the sinews/nerve of war). So how can we fight this war when we are struggling to pay our bills, nevermind investing into this war?
So if you do exist and if you are reading these words of mine you can do one of two things to really help us all:
a) help us pay our bills
b) help us pay for our “war effort” (we have no communication budget, no travel budget, our IT is staffed by volunteers, our translators don’t even get a waitress’ tip, many of us are grossly under-equipped or have a terrible Internet access. One of the founding members of one of our blogs has had to stop helping us because he could not pay for his Internet connection!).
Right now, there is one very generous person who has covered all the server costs for the entire community and one other generous person who has quite literally helped my family from sinking further into debt. And yet I am quite sure that neither of them is truly wealthy. Without these two men our entire community would disappear. And yet we are touching many hundred of thousand of people out there, including you.
Of course, it would be nice if you could simply pay our bills, but I dare not hope for that kind of help. But maybe you have the skills and expertise to help us finance our efforts by setting up a foundation, or by establishing a trust fund? Or maybe you can get together with a few friends and together find a way to keep our community from struggle so hard against “petty” but painful daily problems?
The stakes are sky high. Not only is there a real risk of civil war in France and in other parts of Europe, there is not a real possibility of a continental war in the Ukraine and even a total intercontinental nuclear war between the USA and Russia is not impossible any more.
Just last week I received a very concerned email from a former (now retired) Primate of an Autocephalus Orthodox Church (one of the biggest ones!) telling me that he and his very well connected friends and sources were truly worried about a war breaking out between Russia and the USA. Former top level politicians like Paul Craig Roberts are now only warning about the risks of war. I have friends in Germany who tell me that the German military is preparing for war. I know for a fact that Russia has been preparing for a US/NATO attack for months already. This is not paranoia, this is were this accursed Empire has taken us: to the brink of war. We in the Saker community are doing all we can to prevent that and to not be a bystander, but we need all the help we can get as things are clearly becoming very ugly right now.
So, my unknown “supporter of real means” – now is the time to really help. If you can, do it. If you wait any further, it might be too late.
I don’t expect Bill Gates or Vladimir Putin to read these words. But if you are somebody with means and/or power and if you can help us in this struggle, then please consider that these words are addressed personally to you.
A few final words for now
Okay, I said all I had to say for the time being. I will be hard to reach in the next couple of days as I will be scrambling to try to keep together what it took so much time to built. If you hate my guts for “supporting religious murders” and despise me for speaking about money, please be sure that I am already quite aware of your views. If you insist, you can post them here, but you will be wasting everybody’s time (and if you sincerely want to understand what I stand for, get rid of your idiot-box and re-read what I wrote in a couple of days and it will probably make sense again).
To the many of you who did email me with words of support and encouragement, a big thank you! You have no idea how much a friendly voice can help a person who is vilified and abandoned by friends.
To all I say this: if we really are a COMMUNITY then it makes sense for me to reach out to all of you to help us all survive this AS A COMMUNITY, together. There is enough of us, but now we have to pull together if we want to survive and continue the struggle. I won’t be able to do it all alone.
Kind regards and thanks,
The Saker
Lemme get this straight…
A bunch of people are attacking you and withdrawing support because they disagree with what you wrote… in the name of freedom of speech, and smacking you with Voltaire who talked about defending the right to speak even if he disagreed with what was said.
War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength. Voltaire rolls in his grave while Orwell tells him ‘I told you so’…
I think as for backups you have simple solution in cPanel, backup button->entire site and there you have it, once it is done you get an email and download it to your computer.
as this blog runs on wordpress you have in admin panel tools->export and download everything (posts, pages and comments) as xml so when the site is hacked, you just import everything and there you have it. at the end of the day we come to the www to consume text and all the bells and whistles are just ignored (most of the time I surf with script and image blocker although I am safe from attacks by using Linux.)
There is no problem with the backup systems. These are in place and work well. The cancellation of support is more related to the server infrastructure which is hosting the websites. It is this part of the Saker blogs that needs to be replaced.
So is it the Iceland server site that has capitulated ?
This whole story looked iffy from the moment the id card was so conveniently found in the car.
I posted at the time, “whats the betting that over the next couple of days, a tip off leads police to an address and that both lads are killed”
Pretty much what has happened.
Personne ne fait un Charlie hors de moi
I discovered this blog early in 2014 and felt such a sense of relief, a sense of “coming home”. The post about submarines in the desert described my situation. I really appreciate every post and learn from them as well as from the comments. I don’t agree with everything but that’s not the point. I actually fully agreed with the I am not Charlie post and even now do not understand how this piece could have caused such a reaction. A huge thanks to you Saker and to Gevorg and all the rest of the team who are supporting to you. Also my thanks to the commenters (excluding the trolls!!) eg Larchmonter, Penelope, KatKan + numerous others who enrich this blog. I have donated a couple of times already and will send you another donation now. Unfortunately I too am not the Midas you need, but as someone posted upthread: Kleinvieh macht auch Mist.

Keep Calm and Don’t let the Bastards get you Down
it’s just too comical that the “I am Charlie” idiots, supposedly the champions of free speech for everybody, “you-are-free-to-ridicule-everything-sacred-to-anyone” types, are simultaneously righteously appalled and furious over Saker’s intelligent and analyticial criticism of this obviously idiotic and hypocritical flashmob.
really, just how dumb can you be.
this made me vividly recall some forum discussion with a Californian US online game acquaintance a few years ago where we were heatedly discussing politics, religion, science, you-name-it, and he was accusing me of being conservative, inhibiting free speech (I was supporting the anti-gay-propaganda-among-minors law in Russia, which he violently opposed)… and then I wrote something along the lines that, *IN MY PERSONAL OPINION*, I believe most cases of “genuine” homosexuality to be largely a genetic disorder that should be treated like other genetic defects. a stunned silence of 2 days was the answer, then he unleashed a long and furious rant how I was the scum of earth, a Nazi, a retrograde and Stalinist, and 50 other bad things at once. I then asked, if you are so pro-free-speech, then why am I not allowed to say what I think (and cite various solid arguments in favor of my view)? he replied, and I still remember the line, though not quite literally: “You can say anything as long as it’s not slander and/or libel.”
so, basically, you can say anything in the “free world” as long as you are very careful not to offend the wrong groups of people (and who those people are, is instilled by decades of propaganda – Jews, gays, feminists, etc). if you do, nobody will care if what you say is correct or not… you’ll be crucified alive.
Yes,,in a word….hypocrisy.
It’s only now when I read it a 2nd time have I seen there is a mention of Russians and Chechenians in analogy of us Serbs and Muslims (Albanians and Bosnians would be a more apt term, but fair enough I guess). There cannot be any analogy, because we Serbs are made of only one tribe (and that tribe makes our nation), whereas Russins are made of many (all native European and Asian tribes, has to be said so that degenerate hippies around here don’t get an idea how African ones should be included into the picture, like those degenerates did with themselves). It’s somewhat lenghtly history lesson, but since I know plenty of Russian history (at least the early one), and I have some time, I will share the knowledge especially since I know that many of you here (including the Saker, I think) don’t know it. The story begins with Rurik — the founder of Rus (Russian) state and nation, and goes back at the beginning of the Rus nation and state into the 9th century.
Rurik was a Varangian warchief. Varangians are what the Westerners call Vikings. His dynasty (or rather his descendants), Rurikids, ruled Russia from the beginning until 1598, almost until 17th century, all the while Russia prospered and bloomed (just look at Russia on the map if you need any confirmation of that). But the important part is that in the beginning the Rus were made of north Slavic (like Severians, Kryvichs), Finnish (Chuds, Veps) and Samoyedic tribes, and later on many more followed — Slavic tribes like: Radimichs, Dregovichs, Vytichs, Severians, Polanians, Ulichs, etc.; Finnish tribes like Mordvianians, Muroms, Meryans, Permians, Maris, etc; then came Bulgars, Pechenegs, Alans, many Khazarian tribes, Mongols, etc. They are all Russians. All of them are the Rus people. Most European nations were formed in the 19th century, but the Russian nation had been born a thousand years before. Chechens are also Russins (they were some Khazarian tribe or the people they ruled, for there were many in Khazarian empire which were not the Khazars but the Khazars ruled them), but Muslim faith made their national identification difficult to accept as it didn’t fit in with mostly Christian people. That is some important history lesson, I think. And one should always know his or her roots, else you end up not knoing who and what you are. You end up being a sponge or an algae. Had the Russins not forgotten their Varangian origins, the world would be so much better place now. Saxons would never have embarked on their spread of degenerations across the world as they would never have freed themselves of the fear Varangians caused in them, and thus they never would have the courage to . True Varangians know that Saxons were their favourite pray, and we would have Varangian raids all across British coast for many a century after they had stopped. Russins forgot who they are, and the balance was destroyed, after which Saxons, assembling all the courage they needed by blowing off their Zionist overlords, managed to install Bolshevik/communist degeneration which swept across Russian lands and cultural influence, causing so much suffering. Know yourself! It’s the first and foremost basic rule one should learn about himself, or herself! One can hardly fell as a pray of Zionist lies and machinations afterwards. Only truly stupid individuals could indeed, but the nation would always stay intact.
Wise strategy never loses sight of purpose, never posits categorical imperatives or follows linear “solutions”.
Your present predicament was forecast by various parties, including in the blogs about design and launch of the new blog; the specific hair that would lead to the breaking of the camels back not being delineated, since there were potentially many such hairs, and likely there will continue to be many such hairs despite your proposed strategy.
Distress is an indicator that expectations were not realised, and also distress is a catalyst for change in so far as the opportunity is approached laterally.
However distress can also be a catalyst for reflex action and pursuit of linear strategies as events over the last year have illustrated.
Your proposed strategy above remains linear – inside the present paradigm of solutions, re-inforcement of intellectual property, recourse to the “law”, belief in the efficacy of the opponents’ perception management model, sourcing of additional finance, to name a small sample. Perhaps in your definition this could be described as doubling-up, increasing both probability and intensity of future distress.
Your proposed strategy also appears to concentrate on the symptoms of distress rather than the causes of distress like going to the physician with smallpox and being prescribed hand creme.
In my opinion the causes of distress flow from your strategic naivety.
Your proposed strategy at best is ambiguous in relation to your fundamental purpose – ergo whether the fundamental purpose is to communicate, or whether the fundamental purpose is to maintain a communication channel close to the present design. In set theory there may be areas of intersect but the sets are neither wholly synonymous or wholly subsumed.
Preparation is key especially if designed laterally and appropriate to perceived “threat” and available options.
However over preparation, known to the opponents as full spectrum dominance, is counter-productive, which in their case is not only to be welcomed but actively encouraged without “sticky fingers”.
Opponents are usually at their weakest when they think they have “won”.
So if your fundamental purpose is to communicate then decrease your vulnerability by returning to the old blog format, minimise your integration into the prevailing linear paradigm, allow your opponents to “crow” with success, follow lateral strategies based upon sharing – like China and Russia -, or follow your proposed strategy which at best will delay demise.

I support you. Have been reading your blog since at least 2008. Sometimes you say things which make me “roll my eyes”, but I was never expecting an “absolute authority” nor was I seeking one. (And we all know *your* personal attitude about being taken as an “absolute authority” – “gasp!”)
.
Sometimes when I read what you wrote I say to myself, “that didn’t get expressed the way The Saker had intended” but I know (or rather, hope I know) what you meant. Your posts are full of typos but this I think is a good thing – when one reads an MSM article one has to wonder how many layers of editors, checkers and higher bosses had their “fingers in the pie” and “how did this article actually read when it was first composed?”. Your typos make it feel as though I were sitting in the same home-office with you partaking of your raw thoughts. (Sometimes I try to imagine what ethnic cooking scents have been married to the walls and furniture of your home-office.)
.
Yesterday, when I read “I am not Charlie” I was downhearted (“The folks at Charlie Hebdo had it coming.”).
.
After such a heinous crime I would never have said something like that.
.
But the world needs curmudgeons and that is an aspect of yourself that I see and “raise a toast to you”. Ironically, I also see Charlie Hebdo as curmudgeons. I am certain – let me repeat, certain – that I would have viewed the events, and especially the news coverage, yesterday quite differently had I not first had my perspective widened by reading your opinion article.
.
If I myself had tried to express, “The folks at Charlie Hebdo had it coming”, I would have first in my earliest draft tried out this illustration:
.
There is “deserved” – subjective emotional level – and then there is “earned” – cold as an avalanche of facts. When a (hypothetical) person is constantly running, day after day, through busy traffic and one day gets struck by a car, one does not say that that person “deserved” to die. Constantly running through traffic does not merit the punishment of death. But one has to calculate the odds in the aggregate and deduce that they “earned” it. Odds are emotionless and not personal.
.
But, now, I am forced to I write out the summation of my illustration, “Charlie Hebdo earned it” That just won’t work either. I couldn’t say that. It still sounds very disrespectful.
.
In re-reading your “I am not Charlie Hebdo” article I see that you did provide a similar caveat. But I remember clearly how I was struck by your expression, “The folks at Charlie Hebdo had it coming”. Is it that simple, you “lost” people at the beginning and no amount of further explanation was going to change that; that, perhaps, if you had provided your illustration about train tracks first then you would not be dealing with the avalanche of consequences now? I do not know. I don’t know how you could have expressed the summation without offending some people.
.
Perhaps you could have simply presented the circumstances and let people draw their own summation. But, I perceive, that is not you. And thus the avalanche of consequences appear to have been inevitable.
.
There is a certain irony seen when one considers that both you and Charlie Hebdo are/were curmudgeons and you have both experienced an avalanche of consequences for expressing your opinions on nearly the same day. In this ironic sense you *are* Charlie Hebdo.
.
Clearly, I left off a properly constructed formatting tag. The word “first” is bolded but I typed / instead of /b to end the tag. Could I have that amended? Thanks.
The Saker’s greatest strength is in his brutal honesty, which is so refreshing. Hopefully the negative reactions to his opinions and viewpoints won’t dull his sharp edge. If he has to try to please everybody all the time, his writing will become boring. Keep it interesting, Saker, even if it is highly controversial.
It must not be easy for you right now Saker, but looking at the upside, going forward a lot of chaff has been separated from the wheat here in the Vineyard. Sucks that some chaff were “friends”, but the sorting process always produces a few surprises and disappointments.
Regardless of what actually took place in France this week, its main significance is how it will used going forward. In this way it’s in the same category as 9/11 and the Madrid and London FF’s. In each case, whatever happened and even who is behind them is less significant than how the AZ’s has used events like these after the fac. To promote or accelerate their agenda and goals, while simultaneously disrupting or destroying any momentum away from them, at least temporarily. The AZ’s have the means, motive and opportunity to create these events, but via control of MSM could shape them to their needs regardless.
I guess my only real wonder is how so many otherwise intelligent people can still accept the AZ version of events even after having been lied to so many times in the past, and realizing it. Yet in each new instance, their first reaction continues to be to accept the AZ version & portrayal of events. How has critical thinking at these times been short-circuited so broadly? Is it a global induction of Stockholm syndrome that makes these folks swallow the bait each time? To identify more with ones captor than their liberator? Tavistock has been busy busy busy.
If the clash of civilizations fails to happen on its own, there are always interested parties who will push the masses in the direction they want them to go. Also, if after all this time, people don’t think that this is just what these high profile terror attacks are intended for, then you haven’t been paying attention.
Saker – screw all the group think a-holes who are bailing on you. You don’t need them. I agree with I am NOT Charlie 100%. It makes me laugh that countries with intellectuals who endorse free speech, freedom ™ for women in Muslim countries, equal rights for all, cruelly bomb and kill Muslims all over the Middle East and North Africa, AND insult and make fun of them on top of it with protected hate speech, thus turning hateful old jew cartoonists into some martyrs for freedom. I’m so sure they made equally vicious fun of religious jews and the Holocaust as well – but wait! NOW THAT’S GOING TOO FAR!
Suddenly Muslims in Europe can’t integrate – the RW parties are having a field day. Nothing better than a little terror attack to move the great mass of unthinking, impulsive and emotional sheep to arrive at the conclusions desired.
We’ll see how France acts after this – do they shut their mouths and go back to Quisling status (no support for end of Russian sanctions, peace in the Ukraine, Palestinian state) or do they press on with them? This will be very revealing.
As stated by others here Saker, chin up, this is just ‘sorting the wheat from the chaff’.
Stay the path and have faith in what you are doing.
.
We are all involved at a critical juncture in time, a fight for the soul of humanity. Let us keep our heads, hearts and souls against those seeking to subvert and enslave.
.
Not just for humanities sake but that for all of creation on this planet and our combined future, herenand beyond.
The Saker wrote: “…there is absolutely zero doubt, none whatsoever, that the AngloZionist Empire is behind the “transnational Takfiri infection” of our planet. It all began during the Cold War.”
No. It began when Mahommet moved to Medina and started the longest war in history, a war never meant to be finished: Jihad.
Get you facts straight. When did the Wahabi of Saudi Arabia formulate their dogma? When was the Muslim Brotherhood found in Egypt? Long before the Cold War. The “AngloZionist Empire” as you call it just looked around at what it could be using for its own purpose and found the “Takfiri” stuff waiting to get a helping hand – not more. The Mudjahideen were already willing to die and kill for Allah; the “AngloZionist Empire” just gave them weapons and a ticket to Afghanistan.
For Bosnia look for “Islamska deklaracija”. Radical islam is just plain homemade islamic stuff, not “fabricated” by third parties.
In France you could negate all the power of the “AngloZionist Empire” overnight, the islamic problem would still be there. There is a reason the FN wouldn’t touch Soral with a ten feet pole: he’s just a nutter.
I still wish you the best concerning your website troubles.
Wake, you are talking about Fundamentalism…its in every religion..Christianity, Judaism, Islam and probably Buddhism too. But who is behind it ???
A dark being. Very advanced…a Fallen Elohim …
Dear Saker,
On the tragedy of Charlie Hebdo, I empathize for French people – their emotions and reactions. France is a country of high humanity and her society is a highly civilized one. France has the largest Muslim population among Europeen countries, yet French people have the most favorable view of Muslims (72%), much higher than other continental Europeen countries.
One of the victims, the cartoonist, Cabu, used to present on a TV program for children with his talented cartoon drawings. Several generations of children grew up with it.
This is a time of high emotions. In my opinion, certain points you made in your piece « I am NOT Charlie » are, frankly, not sensitive to these emotions (it is quite understandable a country’s population has stronger feelings for their fellow citizens than for those of other countries). If your piece had come out at a later time, you might have had fewer people who, as you said, have decided to leave your site.
Just some thoughts
Regards
Given his prominent role in the zionazi hate rag, Charlie Hebdo, I can imagine the sort of crap he was filling those children’s heads with.
Whatever he filled those children’s heads with has resulted in the highest percentage of French population with a favorable view of Muslims (among all Europeen countries), so, it is reasonably to assume it was certainly not the hatred.
Ah, so favourable view is due to Cabu’s efforts. I guess any BS will do when it’s defending zionist bigots, eh?
Hello Saker,
Those who left would have left sooner or later. It was all too convenient for most of them to write about far Orr lands such as Ukraine, China or some place in Lebanon, Iran or Iraq. At the first sign of a storm, the rage clouded their judgement and they were unable to see the manipulation for what it was…
I am from a part of the world where on the same day Boko Haram killed 2000 people, where hundreds are slaughtered every day in the Congo, where the societal dysfunctions are rooted in 5 centuries of slavery/slavetrade and one century of colonialism, with a rigged neo colonialistic economic system, etc.
I could go on naming the ills that have befallen Africa but that would not be the point. I love these daily and have learnt to look at life from a different angle.
Saker, they may take away your friends, that would hurt. But rather a single true friend or none, than a cohort of hangers on. They may take away your blog or your blogs but your efforts live in the thousands that have read or still do your analysis. They will not take our memories and appreciation of your efforts. They may take you to court, destroy you economically, but do not let them destroy your soul. The passion coupled with the thorough analysis is what makes your blog what it is. You may not always be right, but at least your opinion is honest. Whoever you are and your private experience and analysis would have granted you millions if you sold your soul to the MSM. But you don’t. It may be difficult now, but it is darkest before dawn.
By the way, the earth is large and we are always welcoming in Africa, if it so happens, you cannot continue in the Homeland as you so call it. I did send you my own modest contribution, in appreciation for what you have done to enlighten me in some of the events going on. I am not Charlie. I am the suffering and killed millions around the world, especially Africa, who do not get the same PR treatment and campaign after their deaths…
Good luck and stay blessed…

Dear AT…I read that Boko Haram is undoubtedly CIA trained and funded.
Ann,
We all know that… They are funded by a mix of local power brokers and equipped by a host of foreign governments. All they lack are the IS glossy style videos and mags.
I could write a Sauer-like analysis of the reasons for Book Hiram and why the massacres started and are crossing into Cameroon.
But briefly put, these are former criminals, armed robbers who have been funded and equipped and sent to do the bidding of their new masters. The end goal being to dissolve the artificial African boundaries and create the sort of chaos and suspicion as in the ME and now W. Europe. They aim to create fear between communities-increasing tensions between the Hausa peoples in the north and the southerners; create large numbers of displaced people-about 3 Million as of now which leads to problems of resettlement and further tensions down the road; large swathes of abandoned territory for pillaging as well as support bases.
So far, the Cameroon has fought back. For how long would they be able to resist? I don’t know as these brigands are changing their strategy. Nigeria and the endemic corruption in the power centre has been very unimaginative in taking the fight to the brigands.
These are some interesting times, while everyone is focused on Europe and Asia, the west knowing they have lost Eurasia is seeking to reclaim Africa. That is the message on the street here…

Graeme and palmtoptiger got it right.
What could be more absurd and hypocritical than free speech supporters criticizing Saker’s free speech.
All Abrahamic religions are patriarchal killing machines.
Perhaps it is more accurately the Christo-Zionist Empire instead of the Anglo-Zionist Empire?
Only the Goddess can save us now.
Well put, Gary.
Saker. I respect your opinions and in hind sight i agree this was used by the anglozionists for their own gains. But i dont think we have n option here. War Is Coming and there is no way tk stop it
And here is from English Wikipedia (just so you see how unaccurate that inforation source is):
“Kievan Rus’ (Old East Slavic Рѹ́сь,[citation needed] Рѹ́сьскаѧ землѧ,[citation needed] Greek Ῥωσία, Latin Rus(s)ia, Ruscia, Ruzzia, Rut(h)enia,[1][2] Old Norse Garðaríki, also called Kyivan Rus) was a loose federation[3] of East Slavic tribes in Europe from the late 9th to the mid-13th century.”
Where are the Finnish and Samoyedic tribes there? And the Rus is very much still alive, Rurik descendants kept ruling long after the “mid 13th century” which apparently marks the end. Only “Kievan” part is lost after that, just like the Novgorod had been lost prior to coming of the Kiev, or Holmgard prior to Novgorod. That Wikipedia is full of lies. Just read something regarding the whole mess in Ukraine — it’s like reading corporate media version of the events, and major events like the cope in February 2014, Nuland duck the Eu cookies, etc. doesn’t even get mention! Full of propaganda that site. Just so you appreciate the Interntet. Without doubt, the greatest discovery of the mankind in all our history! God bless the ‘Net!
Well, you’re certainly not alone in your views, Saker as the comments make clear. Nor even in posting them. Here is another, very similar, thorough analysis on the WSWS website by David North.
http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2015/01/09/pers-j09.html
I might add that I agree with both of you, of course.
By the way, Lenin and Trotsky didn’t have rich bankers supporting them. They had a community, or party in their case, of mostly low income wage earning supporters who thought it worth financing them because they were doing important work. Kind of like you. It’s why I send you and various other worthy causes and individuals like David Rovics some of my dwindling working class earnings from time to time. Keep the flame burning.
Marx, by the way, did have a well-to-do friend and collaborator in Engels. Cotton mills, though, not banking. Enough to keep him in second hand clothes and oatmeal porridge, anyway. And maybe more importantly, ink and paper. ;-)
Anyway, I expect some of the website support people who have deserted you for the moment will re-consider as the implications of the French and AngloZionist abuse, if not creation, of the attack on the somewhat despicable magazine become apparent.
Regarding RT, I couldn’t agree more. I have noticed exactly the same thing for the past month or so. Ukraine has completely disappeared off their new just like in the “western” MSM, and their coverage of the Charlies whoever attack is indistinguishable from the NY Times or Daily Mail. I was doing a search for a couple of their older articles on Ukraine and found they have all been deleted, or at least, removed from search results. Ditto TASS and Sputnik.
Somebody in Russia has decided to completely drop coverage of Novorossia, probably to facilitate the Minsk talks and some sort of wheeling and dealing compromise leaving Novorossia in it’s current boundaries like Transnistria or South Ossetia and quasi recognizing Crimea in exchange for Russia propping up the Ukrainian economy with coal and gas, and not calling their loan.
Only Cassad, Voice of Sevastopol, Novorossia Today, and ANNA News are still covering it. And Saker, once you get past the current crisis. Hang in there.
Actually you are 100% incorrect that Bolsheviks didn’t have rich banisters bankrolling their “Russian Revolution”. From the horse’s own mouth as one example:
“Today it is estimated even by Jacob Schiff’s grandson, John Schiff, a prominent member of New York society, that the old man sank about $20,000,000 [worth about $500 million in today’s USD] for the final triumph of Bolshevism in Russia.” – Cholly Knickerbocker, N.Y. American Journal, February 3. 1949.
If you were to argue that Jacob Schiff is NOT so kind of RICH BANKSTER, well there is nothing more to argue about . . .
Saker: Excellent! No more to say/write.
Dear The Saker,
This site must have been updating earlier and I wanted to post this article by Kurt Nimmo which actually ties in with some of what you say:
http://www.infowars.com/government-prepares-internet-speech-crackdown-following-paris-attacks/
There is going to be a big effort to use this to cut back on freedom of speech – oh the irony of those who attacked you Saker – they really didn’t understand the true ramifications of what is taking place. I am also thoroughly disgusted at Netanyahu for being so very opportunistic and using this :(. The man has zero shame.
Rgds,

Time for you, people, in the West to stop falling for all this crap about #freedom and #democracy You ain’t got any. Get real.
Please, Dear Saker, continue your blog in French!!! We are many people saying the same in France, we are many “je ne suis pas charlie” and we refuse to be manipulated!
Look at http://www.les-crises.fr
Please continue the blog in French!!! We NEED YOU now!
People: Strength IN Honor.
Honor to stand by persons such as the Saker and his team during this very difficult time.
Dear Saker
I just want to say that I agree with your writing, for me has nothing changed, your writing is 100% OK, keep your style.
Watching 1.5 million people marching in Paris I have no other conclusion than my following comment on http://www.moonofalabama.org How could those thousands not see the “victory” they were handing to the Israelis, seeing it live on RT gave me the horrors. Even Lieberman was there and the Ukraine president. My god who who WHO decided on that line of “leaders”and “Paris the capital of the world today” says Hollande, as the people walked without a sign of community life apparent. Since 9/11 humanity has proved that education, materialism, and democracy has created dumb hordes of people on two legs with hands that can only press “communication PC” buttons, whose minds are totally empty, and we are only fit to be laughed at….. every step of that march a humiliation.
Posted by: Jocelyn Braddell | January 11, 2015 at 01:02 PM and someone asks me this:
An auto attack Jocelyn,to justify the US presence un the
región.Most of 10,000 french jewish have arrived to Israel since
the attack…very strsnge.What do you think about it ? So I replied:
The response of 10,000 – Hysteria.. As to the actual crimes,
what can one observe but amazement that the criminals were not
madmen but ordinary men who offered themselves to some
organisation or individual’s orders in symbolic blow against the
criminal murderous “war” with which Palestine and now
the entire Middle East is inflicted. And now we see the entire
French nation tinged with hysteria and apathetic ignorance of
more detailed analysis of the actual crimes.

I am very sorry that an old age pension in Ireland does not allow me send you any money – and believe me I would – Your letter that provoked all these comments so welcome to me to read. 82yrs and my bright old eyes wept tears of horror at the sight of French millions on the street.
