The latest issues of Charlie Hebdo has been printed at 3 million copies (some sources said 5 million). They go on ebay for up to 300 Euros. RT reports that “Sunni Islam’s most renowned center of learning, Al-Azhar in Cairo, said that the cartoons “stir up hatred” and “do not serve the peaceful coexistence between peoples.” Tabnak, a conservative online outlet in Iran, wrote that “Charlie Hebdo has again insulted the Prophet.”
French comedian Dieudonne was arrested for “apology for terrorism”. He had tweeted “Tonight, as far as I’m concerned, I feel like Charlie Coulibaly” (combining Charlie and the last name of one of the terrorists involved in the attacks. Millions will not take to the streets to protect his freedom of speech. They are Charlie, but they are not Dieudonne.
A source of mine with links to French police services has told me that the French Ministry of Internal Affairs had created a hotline to report terrorist. About 50% of the messages they got were “Allahu Akbar!”.
Another of my sources in Europe tells me that the European Commission will meet to decide if the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics will be declared “terrorist organizations” following the bombing of a bus filled with civilians in the Ukraine. Apparently, the bus exploded out of reach of Novorussian artillery and probably on a landmine.
One more thing. Dmitri Orlov has written an absolutely fantastic piece entitled “Peculiarities of Russian National Character” every word of which I fully subscribe to and which I highly recommend to everybody.

Note: “France clears Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier for anti-ISIS op in Iraq”
“French President Francois Hollande has announced that the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier is ready for use in military operations against Islamic State in Iraq. The warship is to work in cooperation with collation forces combatting the militants.” (RT)
http://rt.com/news/222647-hollande-aircraft-carrier-islamic-state/
Perhaps it’s time for the Russian fleet to sail past Syria just the ensure the front door is not breached etc?
Btw, can we see some repeating themes with current French-Russian ship building contracts?
“A naval race had developed in the Aegean after the end of the Balkan Wars, with the Ottoman government ordering several ships, including two dreadnoughts, in Britain. In the event, with the outbreak of World War I, these ships, including further two scout cruisers and four destroyers, were confiscated and pressed into service with the Royal Navy. This disappointed the Ottomans, contributing to their joining the Central Powers in the Great War.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I_naval_ships_of_the_Ottoman_Empire )
Poroshenko wants to ask the EU to declare the Republics “terrorist organizations”. He’d need more than the single bus event as evidence. Especially considering one of the Sektor lot on the Kiev side tweeted about killing and capturing a busload of separatists JUST THERE only about 20 minutes before tweeting the dreadful terrorist atrocity. So it looks like they did it, thinking they’re NAF, then got closer, saw they’re civilians, and decided to blame DPR for it.

The area is a minefield. It may have been a MON50 type of mine which sprays shrapnel like bullets. All the same very little damage on the bus at body height but many of the dead died from head injuries, like head SHOTS. One guy had a big part of skull blown away. How does a mine spray its shrapnel up that high? and so little sprayed further down?
Hi Saker

Dieudonné is subject to the same French law than Charlie Hebdo. As I explained in answer to Jiwan Kshetry article – http://vineyardsaker.blogspot.fr/2015/01/why-charlie-hebdo-offends-me-as-much-as.html – that law states that you may attack, criticize or mock any idea or ideology, including any religion. However you are not allowed to defame an ethnic or religious group.
Examples:
– a year ago a French magazine mocked the Ministry of Justice by asking a “banana” for her. She is black, and the obvious racist slur was directed at a person. The magazine has had to face trial
– a few years ago Michel Houellebecq said that “Islam is the most stupid of religions”. He was sued, and cleared by the tribunal: attacking a religion like any other idea or ideology is fair game
The tribunal will look at whether his comment “I am Charlie Coulibaly” was an “apology of terrorism” which is forbidden.
Justice will pass, the decision of the tribunal is not yet known. There is a serious chance however that he will be found guilty: for Coulibaly is the terrorist who assassinated a policeman and who murdered four Jewish persons in a kosher shop. He attacked Jews because of their religion.
So it looks very much like Dieudonné was saying “I condemn the attack on journalists, I support the attack on Jews”
We’ll see if he can defend from accusation.
Incidentally, Dieudonné has lost several trials in recent years, and won several other ones. Each time, it depended on whether some specific declaration of him was found to attack only Judaism as religion or Zionism as ideology – allowed – or to attack and defame Jews as a group either defined by religion or by ethnic heritage – prohibited.
This time will be no exception. The law has not changed.
Dimitri has convinced me that RF is the place to be!!!
Alexis TK27’s explanation begs the question of the law’s usefulness. Laws of this sort are impossible to reconcile with the principle of freedom of speech.
Dieudonne may very well feel that his relationship to the State is similar to that of the dead man. To make it illegal to express this idea is idiotic and very characteristic of the French obsession with ideological conformity, an idea symbolised by the guillotine.
Slightly off topic but there is an extremely interesting and important article by Fintan O’Toole, on the subject of wahhabism, in today’s Irish Times.
@Alexis TK27 If you’re really trying to say that there is some objective legal principle by which Dieudonné is being persecuted, I for one don’t buy it.
This is a persecution pure and simple and it’s unprincipled. They make it up as they go along. C’mon.
There is no clear fine line between attacking a religion and an ethnic group. The Muslims in France are mostly Arabs, which is an ethnic group. Jews are a religious group, a nationality, or a race, depending on when it suits them.
It is also absurd to say that Dieudonné’s facebook comment advocated killing Jews.
Maybe you should peddle your BS elsewhere. I doubt very much people here are buying it.
Thats all we now need, that french ship sinking right at the mouth of the straight of hormous..
Someone should call them and ask if they closed all the hatches and locked down the potty.. Sailing in rough waters well.. maybe they should take along a few Iranians who have experience in the oceans. If nothing else the Iranians can shove their turbans into the holes where the water is leaking in from.
p.. anyone seen a little dutch boy with big fat fingers around?????
“The Empire on the offensive in France and Russia” my first thought was of the year 1914. Of course now the empire is far more vicious and totally devoid of humanity, just absolute pure distillation of evil.
I hate that rag Charlie Hebdo. And by the way, the ratio of their anti-catholic cartoons versus anti-Islam cartoons (which were extremely mild in comparaison) probably runs 100 to 1; yet, Charlie Hebdo was never attacked by catholics, now we’re they?
That being said, and as much as I despise Charlie Hebdo, please pray tell what’s hateful about their latest cover? I see the representation of a man in traditional Muslim garbs shedding a tear with the caption “All is forgiven?” There’s absolutely nothing mean in that cartoon, let alone hateful.
You can bet they would never show that kind of kindness to Christians.
As far as the number of copies sold, they are just capitalizing on the emotion. Most buyers are hardcore leftists, true believers in multiculturalism.
Notice how the Hegemond has established France as the cannon fodder to absorb the attacks.
And stupid Hollande, desperate for his coming election, marches on the aircraft carrier being sent to wage war on Syria. And it is Syria who will be attacked. ISIS is the excuse.
The enemy is in Yemen that did the attack in Paris, so France will fight Syria.
Stooges, vassals, colonies marching to the drum and bugle of the Hegemon.
Poor France, so beautiful and so pathetic. So rational and so irrational. So sophisticated and so misérable.

Interesting material.
And here is the latest from the British Propaganda Corporation – a slight diversion from the topic at hand, but only slight as it is about Nazis and Buchenwald:
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-30811462
I am confused though as I don’t see what the problem is -I thought that given the Western support for Kiev etc. that Nazi-ism was a good and romantic thing now?
Help me please, someone?
Re: the new issue of Charlie Hebdo, Michael Rivero comments:
“One week ago, Charlie Hebdo was broke, asking for donations, and struggling to publish less than 50,000 copies of their magazine. Then their offices were attacked, their staff severely reduced, the survivors traumatized, and here we are just one week later with 3 million printed magazines in 16 languages all delivered to the newstands around the world?
“Anyone who has ever worked in publishing knows this is an impossible…”
As a one time magazine publisher, I’m inclined to agree.
Alexis TK27,
I don’t know whether what you write is your opinion or what you think the French justice system’s opinion would be, but your sentence:
“So it looks very much like Dieudonné was saying “I condemn the attack on journalists, I support the attack on Jews”
is so weak, ambiguous and consequently just one of many permutations of interpretation as to be a legal pretzel.
The Hooey meter needle has wrapped around the end post.
However if it is interpreted that way then it will clearly state that anyone could be found guilty on some statement they have made in their lives.
And that is one definition of a police state -make everyone guilty of something but only arrest and convict those you wish to crush.
representation of a man in traditional Muslim garbs shedding a tear with the caption “All is forgiven?” There’s absolutely nothing mean in that cartoon, let alone hateful.
What? a Muslim saying they forgive everything? not offensive?
I read this link left by the Saker

Dimitri Orlov … 2 quotes,
“Russians live like settled people,but when they have to move, they move like nomads,whose main method of conflict resolution is voluntary relocation.”
“The Russians are not exactly known for refusing to sell their natural resources—even to their potential enemies. No,what the Russian’s enemies wanted was to be able to tap into Russia’s huge resources free of charge.
To them, Russia’s existence was an inconvenience,which they attempted to eliminate through violence.”
Right! in plain text,theft!

ISIS is imposing mandatory conscription in areas they control.
ISIS bet big on this area with its largest fuel dump only 10kms away from the Syrian Army in the City of Dayr El-Zor. But, after 3 days of attacks to restore the fuel dump along the West Line and Tayyim Line, their offensive imploded. We can confirm the death of over 200 ISIS killers over the last 3 days as spotters assess the carnage.
A NEW ARMY MADE UP OF MOSTLY LOCAL PEOPLE AND FORMER TERRORISTS LINKED TO NUSRA, JAYSH AL-ISLAM AND AHRAAR AL-SHAAM, HAVE BEEN GRADUATED FROM THEIR BASIC TRAINING PROGRAM. THE 7,000-MAN ARMY IS COMMITTED TO ERASING THE PLAGUE OF JIHADISM, TAKFIRISM AND SALAFISM FROM THE ENTIRE GHOUTAA AREA, IF NOT THE WHOLE WORLD. There is a crucial element to this new force: because they’re local, they know every nook and cranny. They are indigenous to our lands and with their new awareness of the conspiracy against their people and culture, we can expect ferocious fighting and, as I have been told, a focus on killing Zahraan ‘Alloosh, viewed universally now as the Devil incarnate. The force is called the Jaysh Al-Wafaa` (Army of Faithfulness) or Liwaa` Al-Wafaa` (Brigade of Faithfulness). We will refer to them by the former as JW.

The imperialist attacks on Novorossya appear to be slowly escalating.
Ever increasing bombardment with the aim of reducing to rubble most of the cities and towns of Novorossya is well on the way.
If they succeed in destroying the Novorossyan Republics, they will target the Crimea, Transniester, and other Rusian protected and allied republics.
The terrorist events of 9/11, the attacks in Paris, Airliner MH 17, The civilian bus destroyed in the Ukraine,
all the way (& numerous other acts of terror) to the “Coup D’etat in Dallas” on November 22, 1963, bear similar patterns and results.
One political pattern displayed is the wilfull inability of the so-called ‘Revolutionary’ marxist left to challenge these False Flag – Mis Direction orchestrated events (that only benefit the imperialist Oligarchs). The French government, is supposed to be that of Progressive Socialism, although it more resembles that of racist imperialist and proto-fascism.
Does their opportunist pattern display a historical misdirection role for Marxism – from day 1, at least from 1848 and the Communist manifesto? Recall that Marx and his people did not participate in the Paris Commune; they just criticized it from the safety of their homes, coffee houses, and libraries, far from the scene of the action?
The other pattern, is who benefits from these tragedies?
Perhaps, those defending their homes and families, nations, oppressed Churches, and basic liberties, are and always have constituted the cutting edge of human progress. Bakunin, not Marx. Durruti, not Stalin or Hitler.
All roads lead (not to Rome), but to an increased effort by the Anglo/American/Zionist imperialists to win their war in Europe. Their victory requires the destruction of the Russian people and their Nation.
Only the strength of the Russian people and their leaders, can save humanity. The crucible is in the Ukraine. The Russians must know this. Can the rest of the planet rally behind the Partisans and their republics?

IMAGINE
I read Dmitri Orlov’s piece yesterday. I am going to adopt him!
Those who live by the sword.. Well this is not a nice way to die. A US asset was tortured to death on orders of mossad. And another instance of the US not caring about those who work for them as long as their agenda gets done.
He came to Der’ah exactly when the uprising was about to begin. He was a Jordanian national trained by the General Intelligence Agency as a spy and recruiter. His job was to infiltrate Salafist groups inside the country and report to his superiors. He was very good at his work. He was eventually recruited himself by Robert Ford as part of the Arab Spring upheaval in Syria. His job? He was to control infiltrate the Der’ah uprising, shoot innocent bystanders in a way calculated to appear as though they were shot by Syrian government agents and he was to help in setting up safe houses and networks for what was to become the Jabhat Al-Nusra when it would be needed to help the local opposition.
Well, the Salafists of Jordan are convinced he was murdered and are taking it hard. They don’t know that both Abu-Sayf and Abu Muhammad Al-Jawlaani are American and Zionist agents, respectively. All they know is that their pious hero was snuffed by Al-Jawlaani.
Abu Muhammad Al-Jawlaani suspected Abu Sayf as being an agent of the United States. The U.S. wanted Abu Sayf to connect with ISIS in Al-Raqqa in order to provide intelligence, even if it meant his disclosing classified information about the FSA or Nusra. He was a perfect mole. Abu Muhammad Al-Jawlaani was not made privy to any of this and ordered his victim killed before he could even set out for Al-Raqqa.
They saw his carcass. It was covered with lash marks from some kind of whip (he had been mercilessly flogged) and had electric shock marks on both his feet. The physician who inspected the carcass confirmed he died of a heart attack but failed to mention that he succumbed only after being pitilessly tortured by America’s favorite terror group.

Nothing new!
When I reluctantly returned to the UK in 2001 to care for my mother,I brought with me several software programs developed by me for ‘Ms Windows’.
Before the Edward Snowden ‘expose’ a program existed called ‘Eschelon’
,you may find a Wikipedia entry “com link”,but not one from the US NSA or UK GCHQ.
Eschelon was a free exchange between ‘friends’ of information on each others populations a.k.a ‘spying’.
i.e.“We spy on you,you spy on us and we exchange info”,a sweet deal for the corrupt,i.e. sidestepping the laws of both countries but it all gets lost or missed or ignored!.
In 1995 I developed a executable program based upon 16 bit file(FAT 16) technology,why?
So called progress,trashes older processes,making them unavailable ,In the early days of computer programing the hardware technology had very small capability.
Initially 8 bit,then 16 bit,32 bit and then 64 bit.
But this was limited by hardware advances,not so with mathmatics.
Exponential growth is fundametal to computer mathmatics,and is an exponential function,that is the ‘doubling time’,e.g. 2,4,8,16,32, 64,128,256,512,1024,ad infinitum.
Soooo…retain the analogue capability and the dump mathmatics ,yes sure math is still involved but the number crunching of ‘super’ computing is removed.
In WW2 the US used the Navaho language to use as a code against the Japanese,that is,a step back in time,although used by the Navaho Nation it was not seen or recognised as a cipher or code.
Anyone today would be hard pressed to find a computer able to install Ms Windows 1995-2000 Millenium.
To thwart NSA/GCHQ is not very difficult,all we have to do is just stop using their tools!, capice?.
Go to swap meets,charity shops and salvage old technology.
Between 2001 and 2005 little Britain demanded all software encryption keys,I said F*** you!,I will keep my encryption keys ‘Empire Free’,which I do to this day.
Modern computer systems can still run my program but how compromised are XP or Vista onwards?,running on the internet,everything is vulnerable,compromised or sabotaged
There is no anonymity,safety or security on the internet,if you believe otherwise,I have a surefire investment for you,buy Ukraine bonds with your life savings!.
cheers.
“Alexis TK27 said…Dieudonné is subject to the same French law “: the French law is like a condom, it is made of flexible material, not really that valuable and discarded after each use. A cartoon artist, Siné, was fired precisely for “mocking Judaism” – at the same rag. Besides there are utterly religious concepts that you cannot evoke, like one can’t deny the Holocaust: it’s like denying Christ in the Middle Ages.
Those lowlifes also drew a cartoon on the occasion of Moscow metro bombing (by America-friendly terrorists), at the end it was irony that caught up with the “satirists”
Lèse-majesté
Nothing is left from the proclaimed gains of the French Revolution, the rich are richer than ever before, the pleb indebted, the states wasting their money in endless wars, the elite is distant and arrogantly living in a bubble worse than Versailles ever was. Free speech is gone. The police locks away state-critics. Torture and secrecy..
> Sorry almost everything, but thanks we can still make fun out of everybody and everything. Who dares to protect their majesties against our pencils (graphic-tablets)? Those who are presented as superior we bring down with our laughter.
A world of equals even if all statistics like to prove us otherwise.<
The pleb needs its illusions, take away almost everything but leave them the right to make fun out of everybody – otherwise you get a revolution.
Q
The “All is Forgiven?” caption and the faux tear is not “hateful”, it’s just really really sarcastic. If the Joker published a newspaper, Charlie Hebdo would be it. The Joker is such a fascinating and frightening character because he is so damn irreverent and nihilistic. Nobody wants to be that comedian’s plaything.
Almost no one has bothered to look at a really clear copy of the shooting video where it is so easy to see the production errors which reveal that it is a hoax: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=bc6_1420632668
1. At the beginning there is a single black cue line in front of the car, to position it for the camera. When the “shooters” return to the car a second cue line at right angles to the first has been added. This indicates that a second take was necessary and they wanted to be sure to return the car to the same position.
2. There were obviously TWO cameras– one near the car and the other on a rooftop with good line-of-sight to the “victim”. The entire action was one minute. How did TWO people anticipate it and get into the correct positions to film it?
3. There are 2 white cuelines in front of the tires of the navy car at the curb. There is a black one for the van.
4. There are 3 black dots on the sidewalk indicating where the policeman is to fall. These become visible to his right when he moves to the left and turns away from the gunmen, which he does off-camera.
5. The gunshots are flat like blanks, but echoing as if fired in a canyon of buildings.
6. If you stop the video in exactly the right position you can see the white wadding which holds the powder of the blank. It is visible fluttering behind the head of the “victim”.
7. It is doubtful that cell phones could have picked up the voice audio, so it suggests a directional mike was used.
8. There is no blood from the wound which fells the “victim”, nor from the point blank coup de grace.
9. All of the youtube copies of this innocuous but incriminating video have been scrubbed as too disgusting for us to see. But it’s OK to see beheadings, right?
@kat Kat:
I think a more appropriate translation of the caution in English could be “Can we make piece now?”
I would underscore that in the same issue they published a cartoon of Soeur Emmanuelle (a sort of French Mother Theresa) giving blow jobs in Heaven.
But of course it’s the super mild cartoon of a Muslim that’s offensive.
I won’t get into the dozens of cartoons of Christians, including Jesus himself, getting sodomised that Charlie Hebdo published over the years.
Have you been also stunned by Netanyahu’s speech in Paris? I (and I believe everybody else) expected his usual appeal to Jews, something like “stay stubborn, resist islamic terrorism etc.”. Instead he delivered “evacuate France to Israel, otherwise you’ll be all killed here”. He must know departure of Jews would mean instant financial death of France. So, pretty brutal words (and very similar to mythic Moses’ speech in Egypt, BTW) in the day of mourning at the place of murder. Shocked PM Valls only managed to reply idiotic “France without Jews will not be France” and weakling Hollande surrended totally few hours later – since now sionists (not Jews as whole – many of them will be next scapegoats) will be privileged caste in France. It’s now obvious Netanyahu is the true mastermind of Paris’ murders (and his Mossad minion Shimon Elliot (alias Bakr Bagdadi) obedient executor. Netanyahu could have hardly blackmailed France without this bloody pretext. Why he need control France so much? Because France is main motor of European pro-Palestinian effort. Few month ago Netanyahu lost 70+ his soldiers with no strategic reward. He can’t afford to repeat such loses, so he must destroy European rear of Palestinian resistance. It seems he is successful in this effort.
Alexis TK27 said
“The tribunal will look at whether his comment “I am Charlie Coulibaly” was an “apology of terrorism” which is forbidden”
Just for clarity and also for non French speakers, Dieudonné did not say “I am Charlie Coulibaly” in his facebook post. He posted “Après cette marche historique, que dis-je… Légendaire ! Instant magique égal au Big Bang qui créa l’Univers ! …ou dans une moindre mesure ( plus locale ) comparable au couronnement de Vercingétorix, je rentre enfin chez moi. Sachez que ce soir, en ce qui me concerne, je me sens Charlie Coulibaly.”
It would more accurately be translated as “As for me, I feel like Charlie Coulibaly”
@Erika,

Care to coment on this Saker.
Hi Saker,
First of all, a happy New Year 2015 to you, and please keep up your work, the world needs a bird’s eye view now more than ever!
Thanks for exposing the #IamHypocryte crowd.
As to the bus story, the vehicle definitely does not look like one hit by a Grad rocket, so there are the following possibilities:
a) the Ukrainian checkpoint was attacked by NAF using small arms (incl. mortars, automatic grenade launchers etc.). If it had been the other way round – Ukrainians attacking a DNR checkpoint – the conclusion would have been: those evil terrorists are using civilians as human shields.
b) far more likely, it hit a landmine or roadside bomb from the Ukrainian checkpoint. There have been voices warning that placing landmines as part of “Yats”‘s “protective wall” would mean just a matter of time until civilians would be affected.
c) the most disturbing one: the mysterious “diversants” in action once again, using weaponry described in a). What do you know about the ominous “third party”, being active from the Maidan murders onwards, when they targeted both protesters and policemen from the same location, to the escalation stages of the conflict during May-June, when “Army” units came under fire from densely populated areas, into autumn, when both UAF and NAF positions came under sporadic mortar fire, with both sides claiming to hold the ceasefire?
Thanks enourmously for the link to the Orlov piece. This should be mandatory lecture for every EU-politician, but I’m afraid…
One more thought in relation to this piece: the different approach of Western Europeans and Russians to the Threat Ritual.
Orlov’s piece shows that East and West have different ways of resolving disputes – and one point I disagree with Orlov is that Stalin in WWII did not conduct an orderly retreat, but rather had millions of soviet soldiers’ lives wasted on countless “counter-offensives” and “not one step back” directives. Of course, Stalin was a criminal, and not even a Russian.
But to the point I’m trying to make: Western culture is still influenced by the Papist inquisition, when “enhanced interrogation techniques” would start by showing the torture devices to the victim, in the hope that he shall “confess” without them having to be used.
The Orthodox Church never had such a thing like the inquisition, so the ritual threat is unknown to Russians.
I remember the conversation between Barroso and Putin, when Putin said that if he wanted to invade Kiew it would be a matter of days. Whereas the press exploded: Putin threatens to invade Ukraine within days!!!
When in fact what he wanted to express was that if it has not happened until now, it means I don’t want to.
Best wishes
Multiculturalism is not “leftist” mate.
It’s in fact the exact opposite. It suits the economic interests of the propertied classes in the west.
Massive immigration allows the capitalists to keep working class wages down, provides the capitalists with a desperate and servile army of workers. Allows rents and housing prices to be elevated and also allows the payments of pensions for the indigenous middle class.
The truth of the matter is that without the masses of immigrants in western countries, the economies of said countries would at the very least collapse in the short term. If we are being honest, almost all the tough (and at the same time, low paid) jobs are being performed by poor immigrants.
I am against mass immigration in principle, but my point is that we must admit the reality behind it, as well as the organic links between capitalism, immigration and hypocritical multiculturalism.
If, by the standards of one of the world’s greatest religions, poking fun at prophet Mohammed is a sin, and if the perpetrators of the Charlie Hebdo can be said to have died for that sin, then that, by a rather simple calculus, does qualify them as martyrs, even in the Christian tradition.
http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/2015/01/on-charlie-hebdo-carnage.html
================================
Dmitri Orlov needs to take a class in Christian tradition (or in calculus). Urgently!
Excellent news if true!
If the European Commission declares Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics as terrorist organization. The Russians will turn of every tap for the EU.
Or “show the way” as Dmitry pointed out.
Slavoj Zizek makes this point very often.
One can ridicule the rich or the politicians or the system all they want. But the entire machinery of the crony capitalist state remains ruthlessly operational.
I see now how Charlie Hebdo has managed to ramp up production so quickly. They have received massive financial aid:
$100,000 from the Guardian, $300,000 from Google, and $1.2 million from the French government, according to this Alan Rusbridger.
Just the fact that Charlie was offensive to Christianity, doesn’t make it alright to insult Islam as well.
The fact that Christian/Western societies are not as offended as a result is more of a condemnation of the aforementioned societies themselves rather than an indictment of Islam.

If the European Commission declares Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics as terrorist organization. The Russians will turn of every tap for the EU.
Or “show the way” as Dmitry pointed out.

If you really believe this I’m afraid you are deluded. There have been many provocations so far and nary a response from Russia. Russia is playing such a long game, I’m not sure they even know how long a game.
Russia didn’t even close Russian airspace to European airlines. Why not? They should still do this by the way. The why not is because Russia is clearly STILL (not sure why?) reaching out to Europe – witness Lavrov turning up at the je suis Charlie march in Paris and recent comments from Medvedev.
Surely they know this display of weakness is a waste of time? Surely.
I can only surmise they think chaos comes to Europe this year no matter what they do – I wouldn’t be so sure of that, but Greece over the next six weeks will be instructive.
Maybe they think the UK will end up with a hung Parliament again in a few months and someone more reasonable will come to power?
I can see the UK with a hung Parliament, I can’t see them with anyone more reasonable. Farage is the only leader who would deal with Russia seriously and respectively – and he has precious little chance of being Prime Minister.

9. All of the youtube copies of this innocuous but incriminating video have been scrubbed as too disgusting for us to see. But it’s OK to see beheadings, right?
14 January, 2015 21:03
Some good points you make Penelope – but I need to pull you up on this last point. Have you even watched the ISIS “Beheading” videos? It would appear not given your remark!
In the case of the 5 Westerners “beheaded” with VIDEOS – well, you know what? There VIDEOS show no actual beheadings!
Watch them and find you’ve been lied to yet again.
Yehaa I love the smell of burning hypoCrauts in the morning.
So the rights to insult is hailed as a right to say whatever we want, right.
Freedom of speech, and some of you actually belive this shitt, then I am impressed, because I know its never been there in the first place.
And when we drule in the closed compartment I know what “freedom of speace” really is.
I have been upagainst Them for decades.
And I can smell a Hasbaranjik for miles.
This is a gift to the Rightwinged freaks, whom screams of allowing the law to lett them say whatever They want, and no matter how obseen, childish, and so on, it is, no matter how, They claim its in the realms of Whats allwed to do.
And without shame, they want others sencured and taken away if it dont falls into Their narratives like the Palestinian cause.
BUT.
And of course, muslims are to be blamed, all of them, since Islam is “evil”.
And their profs, of course is ISIS and BokoHaram.
Yupp.
Boko H. that was the goood boy of the previous gov. and even Hilarious Calligula Clintonius wproved them as late as just a couple of years ago, and whasnt happy when they became labeled as a Terrorist group.
How bizzare.
But you probably knew this dint you, freaks.
How about Irgunn and Stern, ever heard about them, the very ones that invented car bombings.
Huh
And to the equally ididotic claims about How “evil” islam really is(once again), how is it then possible with the narrative given by the rightwingedfreaks/harsbaratnjiks about and regading their “truth” about Musilms and Islam when the 4 largest Jewish comunety in the world, apart from Israel/UssA is de facto namely IRAN.
Why havent anyone aske them about Islam.
Why.
Because ehhh……
Il end it there and I dont wana waist an more time on this morons.
I belive they crashed the site because we exposed their path forward as they will expliot the “neoNazi” consept further, and since the NN as stupid they will follow, and walk strait into the trapp, by been used as cannon fodder and pattsys for the empire in the eastern Ukraina.
And now when the terrorist narrative is been taken up, the war will escalate with more of the same and in the end, maybe a R2P aproatch amd so on.
They are starting up the ww3.
I await more balck falggs, and all to instigate more hate upon all Arabs and Musilms in generall, and violence will escale to.
Provos in both camps will enshure is will be done.
WE know whom is doing all this, and if you can take it, its Yours problem, not ours nor mine.
I am done with stupid childrens babbelings from the Hasbaratnjiks and their whores, the rightwinged freaks.
The difference bewteen the rightwinged and the left, is only in the cause, not on the wars nor the slaughterings.
If not this “freedom of speace” isnt good anouf cuase, then womens rights are good anouf and genitale mutialtions(have 0 to do with islam and is even practised in chrsitian countrys, whatever that means) and so on. But their hate is the same, and their lies to.
This is going in to wrong direction right now, and wurse is to come, they have no other options left.
They have been exposed.
May the lord have mercy upon us all.

Mr Saker, you talk so much about false flags… Well, that episode from the bus got all elements of a false flag to incriminate the Militias… Dont you think???
Internationalists Are Pushing The World Towards Globally Engineered Economic Warfare.
A “global economic reset”, I suspect, will consist of a grand shift away from covert cooperation between central banks to an OPENLY centralized one world banking system, predicated on the concepts put forward by the IMF and led by the Bank of International Settlements, which has always been behind the scenes handing down commandments to the seemingly separate central banks of nations.
In order for this “reset” to be achieved, however, the establishment needs a historically monumental distraction. A distraction so confounding and terrifying that by the time the public has a chance to examine the situation rationally, the elites have already tightened the noose.
I have been warning ever since the beginning of the derivatives/debt collapse of 2007/2008 that the international financiers and globalists who created the artificially low interest rates and fiat lending bonanza would one day be required to fashion a considerably dangerous event in order to trigger the final collapse of the dollar based monetary system and replace it with a new currency (or basket of currencies), along with a new centralized financial authority.
This distracting event would have to rely on three very important strategies in order to succeed –
1) The use of what I call the “scattershot effect”; a swarm of smaller crises growing exponentially until it blurs together to create one dynamic calamity.
2) The use of multiple false paradigms in order to confuse the masses and pit them against one another in an absurd fight over fake and meaningless causes.
3) The use of deceptive benevolence on the part of the financial elite as they tap dance in to act as global “mediators”, ready to save the public from itself.
The end result would be a new brand of “world war” rather unique to history.

The proper response would be for Novorossia to declare the European Commission as a terrorist organization.
As I said in another post, in English words, and how they are used have important meanings.The use of “strongman,and regime” and now “terrorist” are used by the West to demean,and demonize.I believe that should always be combated,and never just let slide.If the West uses those terms,use them back.Use “strongman” when discussing Western leaders,and “regime” when talking of Western governments.And if they classify Novossia as terrorist return the favor and always term the Ukrainian “regime”,NATO,and the EU as terrorist organizations.They will get the message soon enough.

France has never had a real tradition of “free speech”.This Dieudonne arrest shows that again.The French paradoxically have always been leaders in the cause of free speech.Some of the greatest advocates of free speech have been French,Voltaire,Zola,as prime examples.But the governments themselves have never really accepted the idea,only paying lip-service to it.The hypocrisy of the CH cartoons being permitted,but anti-CH satire forbidden shows it all.
As to Orlov.He is great.I don’t think I’ve read an article of his I didn’t like.His latest one is one of his best.I doubt he could be printed in France.Too much satire in his pieces for the government to bear.Especially if he turned it on them.
Uncle Bob
I saw this today,ouch:
Anecdote of the day:
Obama asked the fortune-teller: What will happen in the future?
Fortune Teller replied: I see a great war between Russia and America.
Obama says: Well, a big war between Russia and America, I already know that. We are working on it now in Ukraine. Tell me the important part that I don’t know. For example, how much will a Big Mac cost in New York, in the future?
Fortune Teller thought for a moment and replied: Four rubles!

“This time will be no exception. The law has not changed.”
That is the problem.Here is another example of the French regimes control of speech.Under the cover of allowing free speech.They wrote the law so ambiguously that a particular case can be decided either way.And the courts are who decides which way it is meant.It’s very clever no doubt,but makes a mockery of the ideal of free speech.

“I see the representation of a man in traditional Muslim garbs shedding a tear with the caption “All is forgiven?” There’s absolutely nothing mean in that cartoon, let alone hateful.”
Another disingenuous comment.For days now the press has been reporting that the cover was meant as a representation of Muhammad,not just a man in “Muslim grab”.If that wasn’t true they have had days to deny it.Since they know people think that,they could even have denied it in their paper.But they didn’t,because that appears to be the meaning of the cartoon.

A question for the Saker community:
Did the Russian Government get a sudden itch in its arse that it sent its Foreign Minister to the Charlie-march in Paris? If you read RT website, that venerable Russian media group has suddenly turned more pro-French than the French themselves. Moves seem to be underway, big geopolitical moves, behind the smokescreen of this Charlie affair. Are the Russians again going to be caught sleeping? Or have they again swallowed a load of marbles dipped in crock?

The article refers to Putin as Russian PM and doesn’t mention the war in Novorossia.I think its an old article from the other gas problem in 2009.

(Although somewhat dated and the title gives it away through some form of preconditioning, do the test honestly and see it works. I saw it demonstrated as part of a seminar some 10 years ago and was very surprised. I actually saw the gorilla but then again, I had given up counting – and I don’t take hypnotic suggestion laying down in the first place.)

The bombing of a bus filled with civilians in the Ukraine occured during Soros visit to Kiev? or was after he left?
[from Blue]
You may be correct, Uncle Bob, although the dateline is current’.
But several papers, including http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2015-01-14/russia-to-shift-ukraine-gas-transit-to-turkey-as-eu-cries-foul.html , and also zero hedge, are saying the cutoff is announced — almost the same thing in overall effect, although nicer for the European people for the moment.
Of course Russia has the option of cutting it off at any time if EU and US don’t start acting like civilized human beings, including reigning in Kiev.

this reminds me Putin’s words for the Chechens
“It was Mr. Putin who, after still-unsolved bombings of Moscow apartment houses in September 1999, drove home his enmity toward Chechen guerrillas with the blunt threat: ”If we catch them in the toilet, we will rub them out in the outhouse.” Many saw his use of crude slang for the word ”outhouse” then as inspired political positioning, the creation of a tough-guy image for a nebbish with his eye on a presidential campaign.
Mr. Putin later startled Westerners by shrugging after his own army handed over a Radio Liberty journalist to Chechen guerrillas, ostensibly in exchange for captured Russian soldiers. Mr. Putin called the journalist, who had questioned Russian policy in the Caucasus, a traitor.”

very little Arabs

didn’t you know that France hosts the biggest Jewish community after the US? and that the Israeli agents are recruiting these people to migrate to Israel since Ariel sharon regime, because Israel need the french Jews to populate its territory, hey the arabs make more children
So Bibi pushed the nail each time there’s a attack on the Jews made by the Muslims

Julian, you’re right– I didn’t watch the beheadings, but don’t they show the “afterwards”?
In any case Youtube showed all those pitiful burned people at Odessa.
This 1 minute “shooting” video was less scarey than a cowboy movie. Bang! Bang!
Hi Saker Thanks for the Dimitri Orlov piece…its great…I didn’t really understand about the offer of Russia to Europe to join the Customs Union…and that’s so cute where Orlov talks about the sweet little European countries that make smelly yummy cheeses…
Yes, its pretty disgusting to profit off murder…it happens alot these days…first those posters that said”Je suis Charlie” Who made those that were so available so fast ? and who profitted ?
and now Charlie is going to make a windfall over this murder…yuck.
Wow, CS…I didn’t see that as clearly before your astute comment here:
“One week ago, Charlie Hebdo was broke, asking for donations, and struggling to publish less than 50,000 copies of their magazine. Then their offices were attacked, their staff severely reduced, the survivors traumatized, and here we are just one week later with 3 million printed magazines in 16 languages all delivered to the newstands around the world?
“Anyone who has ever worked in publishing knows this is an impossible…”
Alien Tech, I’m not understanding your point in your comment about ISIS…
It would seem to me that locals that are forced to join ISIS will be as unmotivated as Ukrainians forced to join Ukrainian army…
could you explain ? sorry.
Yes, Penelope, I know you’ve been saying false flag, and now, with this amazing amount of newspapers, produced in less than a week, after the unbelieveable trauma of this killing…how could they produce all these translations … 16 different languages …???
So what do you think ? that the murders were done by people who were paid assassins ? And that the “employers” of the assassins are white collar Frenchmen ?
I mean the people were definitely murdered ? Right ? And those hostages were really killed by the assassins ? Before they got caught ?
Hi Can specy…I guess I’m just behind everyone else, but this quote of yours
“$100,000 from the Guardian, $300,000 from Google, and $1.2 million from the French government, according to this Alan Rusbridger.”
I guess all those donations is from one Zionist to another… socharlies owned by Israelis too. ?
Since the Saker parrots the US-sponsored european system mantra about islam as a ‘religion of peace’, I can not but assume he works in fact for the empire. What the Saker says is exactly what the pro-US UMPS and mass medias say for years.Fortunately, the pro-russian anti-islamic immigration parties are gaining momentum in spite of the trahison by some so-called friends including this website.
“Dmitri Orlov has written an absolutely fantastic piece entitled “Peculiarities of Russian National Character” every word of which I fully subscribe to and which I highly recommend to everybody.”
Indeed. It is also delightfully readable and most useful as well.
http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/2015/01/peculiarities-of-russian-national.html
I earnestly encourage everyone to read it and feel safe in saying they will much enjoy the article and the insights it delivers.
As an aside: he mentions Galicia, and related to the process of sharing the article with others, I googled-up a map, using first the search term ‘Galicia,’ and got NW Turkey. Using the search term ‘Galicia Ukraine’ brought up the map of what I knew he meant–the Poland-Ukraine cross-border area.
