Dear friends,
We are going to go on a break. Most of us are exhausted, this has been an amazing, but exhausting year. I personally am going on fumes. Furthermore, we are about to enter the period of western Christmas, the civil New Year and the Orthodox Nativity. Finally, the next year is likely to be extremely interesting, in the sense of the Chinese (?) curse “may you live in interesting times”. So we all need to reload the batteries and get ready for the next round.
So I have decided to declare a “Saker blog minimal service” from December 23rd through January 9th
I have a special request to you all: PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME EMAILS UNLESS THIS IS REALLY URGENT AND IMPORTANT. On average, I have to reply from 50 to 100 emails every day the Lord makes, and that is absolutely exhausting. So please, unless that is both important and urgent, do not email me. Also, I usually do my best to answer all the emails I get. During the upcoming break, I will only answer urgent and important emails.
I wish all the members of our community a happy Christmas, peaceful New Year and joy-filled Nativity of our Lord!
A special “THANK YOU” to Herb, who did an absolutely PHENOMENAL job over the past couple of months to make our servers faster and safer and who did it all by himself. Herb ALSO was in charge of the moderation team. So I think we owe him all an immense debt of gratitude. I know I do.
Thanks also to the moderators. This is a most difficult job for which you hardly ever get any praise, but only a steady stream of complaints and criticisms (it is almost as bad as parenting). I know how hard it was for me to do all the moderation myself and I know how much you all have helped me since you have taken over. Guys – in my book you are unsung heroes :-)
Of course, should something critical happen, we will do our best to react to it here. God willing though, we might have a couple of comparatively quieter weeks.
A big hug to all, cheers and thanks!
The Saker
Merry Nativity to You .Enjoy you’re well deserved time off. I’ll have a shot of Moscovskaya in tribute.
Cheers
Have a wonderful restful Christmas -Epiphany season ! And bid farewell to the times when there were so few voices on the internet holding the space of reason, truth and dissent when the Saker Vineyard was one of those.
May there be easier, more creative times ahead…and victory.

“p.s. Trump won the electoral college – just need to get past 6th Jan 2017…..”
Yeah — got this far… Demons are out, Ogres are in — a small step up. Time for a nap (with one eye open).
Happy Catmas, and a good Mew Year, everyone!
Have a sweet break Saker and thank you and your team for being here…..And not to worry, over those coming weeks there will be peace on earth and love for all men extending thru all eternity thereafter.
Thank you for giving many folks a voice and for introducing us to Russia and so much more. Best….
I tried to access thesaker.is at my local library on Google and got a ‘filtered for content reasons’ message. Just thought you may like to know.
I googled it and it came up right away, so I’ll say it’s not google and it’s time to talk to the librarian.
Curiosity: where/what is the library?
Have a fun-filled vacation, break, absence–You earned it.
Have a good and deserved break, a happy Christmas time for you and your families !
Merry Christmas to the Saker, his family, his team and of course to all the readers and commenters.
Taking the traditional Russian New Years-Christmas holiday! Enjoy! С праздником! С новом годом! Христос рождается – славите!
[Yandex xlation: With a holiday! With the new year! Christ is born – glorify him!~ mod-dg]
We would like to wish The Saker and his webmaster Herb a wonderful Orthodox Christmas.
We started working with you two years ago and we regret nothing at all.
It has been a long journey, sometimes painful, sometimes we had to deal with crises but we never gave up.
We feel like being in a big family, so thanks for your help, thanks for your articles and IT support.
We’re proud of what we’re doing, please have our Best Wishes

Canadian, Jordan Peterson, has been in hot water recently for resiting at the Uni of Toronto the insane legal implications of recent Canadian laws about gender pronoun use. It is easy to google the issues and topics and through the noise understand his key point: that when government begins to legalise what we can say then we are on a slippery slope.
Reviewing Peterson’s podcast works for other reasons, however this 2-hour interview is a very solid expose of his positions on life. At this point (below) I remembered the Saker’s blog.
In his own words, Peterson a scientist and a deeply religious man. Here at/around [2:07:03-15] he nails the essence of the western civilizational-level issue: “True Speech” as a fundamental idea.
It is difficult not to suggest listening to the whole interview as many things are covered and weave together into a harmonious whole. However, as a gateway for the Saker’s world, at this time of extended Christmas and New year celebration period then these words may suffice: “Christ is at the bottom of Western Civilization” as a fundamental “archetypal mode of being” for a meta-hero.
Suggest tuning in around 2:02:10 onwards for about 5 min to get the deeper context.

All part of the indoctrination process to replace natural binary reproduction – which necessitates acknowledging the evolutionary/biological reality of the male and female – with ‘reprogenics’:
In short, reprogenetics is the genetic engineering of man to create a human race according to scientific design. Here is a definition from Lee M. Silver, “author of the book Remaking Eden: How Genetic Engineering and Cloning Will Transform the American Family (1998).”
Reprogenetics will involve advances in a number of technologies not yet achieved, but not inherently impossible. Among these are improvements in interpreting the effects of different expressions of DNA, the ability to harvest large numbers of embryos from females, and a far higher rate of reinsertion of embryos into host mothers. The end result, according to Silver, is that those parents who can afford it will be able to pick out the genetic characteristics of their own children, which Silver says will trigger a number of social changes in the decades after its implementation. Possible early applications, however, might be closer to eliminating disease genes passed on to children.
According to Silver, the main differences between reprogenetics and eugenics, the belief in the possibility of improving the gene pool which in the first half of the 20th century became infamous for the brutal policies it inspired, is that most eugenics programs were compulsory programs imposed upon citizens by governments trying to enact an ultimate goal.
Gay ‘marriage’ was the first step, the heavy promotion of the Harvard-confected ‘Transgender’ cult is the next. They can’t be too obvious that this is a continuation of the fascist eugenics of the Nazi thirties, so they are marketing all forms of dissociation/psychosis and non-reproductive sex as an ‘equality’ issue.
The main objective is to strip women of their reproductive, DNA-deep identity and with it, the natural and legal rights of motherhood.
Already California, Canada and Britain have legalized ‘three-parent’ genetic engineering, and the elimination of language that asserts binary reproductive realities – like male and female pronouns – is part of the process.
Now any man in those jurisdictions can buy the privilege of calling himself the ‘mother’ of children procured through corporate surrogacy, while the woman who actually have birth is legally erased from existence.
This will not succeed without a global underclass to act as breeders on behalf if the rich, hence the same actors are also involved in the establishment of the NWO.
Brave New World.
