By Amarynth for the Saker Blog
I want to add my voice to Andrei’s request for funds. It is time again that we have to replenish our coffers in order to stay online and effective because my friends, Its All Going Ugly! and I have only dust left in the bottom of the ammunition boxes.
At the Saker blog, none of the principle stances are changing or will change.
We are still offering ORIGINAL material with a regular original analysis by The Saker, and shorter pieces with commentary as developments require. In addition, a group of guest writers on various topics keep us informed regularly. We’ve even done the unthinkable, totally jumped the shark, and now have regular Sitreps on China as a foil and resistance to the warmongers. These get cross-posted regularly even within China. The Saker’s pieces are now regularly cross-posted in Russian sources.
We are still fully user-supported and have managed to stay clear of all commercials or paywalls. Despite all this, we still have readers and we still grow. The independent Saker Blogs still regularly post their work. The main Saker blog still regularly gets referred to in other work, and complete analysis still gets picked up by a range of other independents.
This means nobody can tell The Saker or his blog what to do, what to publish, or what tack to take with anything. It keeps us honest, but it also keeps us really vulnerable and believe me, there are enemies out there. We are still one of the few independent blogs in a time where everybody is squeezed to take money from those that want to control the message. This is in an environment where even the US State Department has canceled many of our friends, our fraternal blogs. Our own workload to simply monitor our own work to stay clear of these critters has increased tremendously. What do you think is going to happen with all these sanctions? Chaos, and off course some of them will influence us. We sometimes dance on the head of a pin to say what we want to say, without setting alarm bells ringing across the worlds of the nasties.
The time of Covid-19 materially influenced us all and we are into what may be a post Covid world and now the piper has to be paid and it looks like the financial fallout is going to be horrendous. At times, counting from the previous fundraiser, the blog was under severe stress, simply because all of us had to deal with the fall-out. We lost volunteers, we ourselves became tired and despondent, and some days we did not want to continue as it felt like events would overtake us all!
But, WE DID! WE CONTINUED!
I remember this piece written by The Saker for a previous fundraiser and want to repeat it now!
This is an appeal to those who, by the will of God, are not living from paycheck to paycheck. Friends, I *know* that you are reading this blog simply because statistical averages tell me that in the millions of pages served each month here, some must be read in beautiful homes and elegant offices, right? Okay, well then, let me submit the following to you: God has given you the means to easily do that which hundred of thousands of your fellow readers cannot. There are A LOT of “poor widows” out there who donate to me “in all that they have, even all their living” . You know that all of the efforts of Andrei and all of the efforts of the rest of the blog are aimed at counter-acting multi-billion dollar propaganda campaigns (special appropriations for that have been passed in many western countries recently!) and you expect me to counter that with donations coming only from poor widows? Really?
But the reality is what it is: We badly need your help especially in a context where a major war is a very real possibility (and has been since 2014!).
We need to keep the blog online for the duration. Just this morning I went to look for a Tweet Stream from a reliable Donbas reporter, and, it was simply gone with the Ubiquitous Account Suspended message. The information flow is being throttled (even RT, no matter how much we complain about them in Germany and today the Brits are starting a cancellation process) and more and more we will have to rely on our personal contacts to continue publishing uncontaminated information. The Russian message, the Chinese message, the Iranian message, the messages from our other Zone B fraternals will be seriously attacked, as the schizophrenic western-influenced masters do not want us to know what those messages are. One major objective is that they are trying to blame their own demise on ‘Russia and the Ukraine’.
If we look toward a change in our world order to multi-polarity, it is now the time to stand together like never before and support the multi-polaristas across the world working against warmongering hegemony.
We need to be able to pay for our technical infrastructure during what may be a very uncertain future with challenges that we cannot always even foresee.
Remember all of the Saker books are now still available for free download here. https://saker.community/product-category/booksandauthors/sakerbooks/
There are so many ways that you can be a stronger part of The Saker Blog.
- Kindly donate to us which is now the most important.
- If you have a few hours free and can donate time, contact moderation (email on bottom of page) in the event that we need moderators, and we need moderators now.
- Write your local sitrep for us, within the guidelines, so that we can remain informed.
- Keep the commenting to a high standard. You may be burning to say something, but someone has to read that before we can post it.
- Spread the Saker Blog far and wide. Help us work on the ripple effect which is currently in full force, but we are a small fish in a very big world pond. Yet, we are surprisingly influential, and that is why we still grow.
If you can donate, it is so welcome right at the moment. But if you cannot donate, please pray for us. And if you can do both, that would be perfect.
Let us not be canceled!

Are donations getting through to you, or are they being blocked?
I am beginning to wonder.
Let me suggest that when you make a donation, send the receipt message to Saker or Amarynth so they know or can check it went thru or not.
I did this yesterday with Saker.
There was an issue with Paypal several years back, but I forced them to pay it through.
Since then no problems.
Just did donation last night via PayPal, went through, no problem.
How do you know it went through. I have been using PayPal for years but I always wonder if they really sent the money or steal some of it.
I sent an amount to SakerAnalytics with PayPal yesterday; I received the receipt from PayPal.
Got two confirmations: one from Saker, one from PayPal. Thanks for your heads-up, no worry. I am a regular PayPal user, know how it works.
I went to subscribe star and put in my 5 bucks. You just got about 20% of my discretionary income, but the horror of trying to understand the world where the sole source of information is msm agit-prop makes that donation a bargain at twice the price. Thank you for your work.

I hear Ottawa banks have some spare cash on hand, since numerous accounts are frozen.
Awesome cartoon.
I have appreciated, the Saker, and all who work on his blog, since I first came across it about 10 years ago.
Whilst I have never posted much on here, Saker has never been deleted from my bookmarks bar, even when I completely disagreed, (about the events of the past 2 years).
The Saker blog, was my first resource in 2014, and what was happening in The Ukraine, and I posted many links elsewhere, even in the british press, when it was then allowed.
I would thoroughly recommend, the Saker’s very first book “Essential Saker” Whilst it was mainly a collection of some of his very earliest posts, it portrayed his honesty, and integrity. I think my favourite pages, where when he finally “got” 9/11.
I am not going to write what I think about the morons in the british government, except they are a complete embarrassment, not just to me, but the entire human race. I have no ideas on how to get rid of them, but they do not represent ordinary British people. We can’t vote them out, cos they have all received (including the msm) the same CIA / Nudge unit brainwashing regardless of political party.
Even my kids taught me that about 15 years ago. “Dad, please don’t vote for any of these horrible people”. I was trying to convince them to vote. They defeated every argument, I could come up with.
Thank You,
Tony
I just donated. This website is an island of sanity.
Donations done.
Best wishes for Norway
I tried yesterday to send via visa card but paypal intervened. I prefer not to help paypal but today will use it if forced. Why is this made mandatory!!?
Does the Saker have a regular Bank Account? If I can have those details my ‘quarterly’ donation would soon follow. A couple of pounds a week wouldn’t dent my finances and I’ve given to far less worthy causes.
Please click on the big orange button.
OK thanks I’ll send a quarterly donation shortly,
I haven’t even made enough in the last two years as an orchestral musician to pay for my AFM union dues for one year, but back when I did have a little money I sent a personal cheque to Saker Analytics at the Wilmington address and payment was confirmed, personally, by the Saker and we have the cashed receipt. The old ways aren’t all bad. Praying, as always, for peace, clarity and wisdom.
I sent a sizable donation yesterday via PayPal. Did it arrive?
Funny, I am reading Saker even more these days. Consequently, I am now contributing more.
Thanks Saker et al.
Always read, never posted so far, small contribution sent via paypal. Thanks for all the work
i don’t use paypal or patreon but have sent a c note in the mail
thanks and keep up the good work
You should be getting my $5.00/month from Patreon.
Sent in my modest contribution.
Blessings to all!
Contributions and donations are being received. If you are really worried, please use my email at the bottom of this page and all other pages, and I’ll double check.
Thank you Saker and Amarynth
I have found you to be the best on these issues and I thank you for making some changes that aloud me to come back!
Done only $5:00 but it’s start. Thanks to every one here for their time
