Dear friends,
Today has been a really bad day in meatspace for me.
I need to bounce back and a night of sleep.
I will get back to you all tomorrow.
I have authorized all comments today (as I don’t feel like reading them), including even one from a Ukie propagandist who wrote them with the hated CAPS on, but whatever – who cares?
I will try to get things rolling tomorrow.
Sorry about that,
The Saker
Feel better Saker. Nevermind the trolls. There are a lot of us that come to your blog everyday for information and real news. Thank you for your service.
Anissa from RT really exposed that cia hack amanpour. I hope someone will put a montage together of the old bats lies over the decades.
God bless.
Dear Saker,
Please take it easy, take a week off from the blog because we will need you in good fettle when and if the situation changes in Ukraine. I got a bit worried with all these new blogs of yours that you would overtax yourself. Keep your energy for the big stuff and your area of expertise. Already for writers and thinkers around the world this is a first port of call. I would like to thank you sincerely for your tireless and top quality work. And if anyone still hasn’t read your brilliant analysis of MH17 I advise them to do so forthwith. Thank you again.
Saker, so sorry you had such a bad day.
I hope I have not bothered with my questions.
I am also tired and went to bed early but I’ve bundled here as usual.
May you rest. Take care.
Dear Saker,
please take it easy. this will last long and the fight for the present generation is only starting.
So what about posting a photograph of your feet with a fishing line or a book by your side and pickled sandwiches on the other one?
that would be nice!
take good care of yourself and beloved ones.
Kind regards,
Patagonian
You have the right attitude, Saker. Don’t let comments and comment moderation get in the way of your life. It’s not worth it. you probably spend way too much of your precious time on comments. you have to look after you, which means carving out enough time and peace of mind to work on your dissertation. Emphasis on peace of mind.
Your work is appreciated more than you realize. Reading the truth instead of the MSM BS, I can hardly stomach the propaganda from the ” US Free Media”. I try to educate and spread the truth in my small way, and I am surprised how many of my fellow citizens are waking up. From ZIO Controlled USA.Thank you for your efforts and best to you and yours.
Mexico Spring
24 November 2014 (Reuters) – Deep anger over the apparent massacre of 43 trainee teachers has plunged Mexico’s Enrique Pena Nieto into his worst crisis as president, but with no credible opposition in sight, mass protests look unlikely to force him from power.
Since the students were abducted by police and handed over to a local drug gang in the southwestern city of Iguala on Sept. 26, a wave of discontent has hit the government, spurring calls at protests and on social media for Pena Nieto to step down.
Pena Nieto has accused unnamed groups of trying to destabilize the government but the public fury is widespread.
Although the protests have been largely peaceful, some demonstrators have clashed with police and even set fire to the door of the ceremonial presidential palace in Mexico City.
Still, the fall of a president would be unprecedented in modern Mexico. And for all the public indignation, no figurehead has emerged to channel the anger and present an alternative.
“You need leaders to start a revolution – and there aren’t any,” said Mexico City salesman Francisco Aleman, 31, who wants the government out. “The opposition are really divided, so there’s no easy way to bring down Pena Nieto.”
No color has been announced for the Mexican Spring revolt, any suggestions?
God Bless you Saker.
Please let the world know what the ZOG’s Kiev Junta guttersnipes are doing to Ukraine’s women and girls.
Be warned – it is harrowing.

A wise person once said:
“Never argue with an idiot -they drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience”
24 November 2014 Reuters story continues…
The leftist Party of the Democratic Revolution, or PRD, has campaigned against human rights abuses in the past but its reputation is in tatters because the Iguala mayor who allegedly ordered the students’ abduction was one if its own.
And the horrific events – the government says the drug gang apparently killed all of the students and incinerated their bodies – unfolded in Guerrero state, which the PRD governs.
Mexico’s most successful leftist, former PRD leader Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, has also been sidelined in the uproar because of ties between Morena, the party he formed after leaving the PRD, and the same mayor.
**********************************
The Iguala mayor is well-known to have been born a poor person who married a rich girl. His party affiliation has nothing to do with the fact that he was trapped for this operation.
The PRD referred to in the Reuters report as having been tarnished by the fact that the Aguirre the governor (now former-governor) ran on the PRD ticket, is the Party of the Democratic Revolution.
The kidnapping of these students never had anything to do with party politics.
And the attempt to interpret
their assassination in terms of party politics is absurd and misleading.
I am not saying that any politician is not dirty; the political party system itself is built on the principle of secret influence like freemasonry.
The evident attempt to smear Lopez Obrador by suggesting that someone in his party was associated with the discredited mayor of Iguala is laughable and illustrates the nature of the mass-media operation now underway.
When Manuel Lopez Obrador won the Presidential election a few years back, more than a million mexicans went to the Zocalo to protest and almost half of them stayed camped-out in the Zocalo for almost a year!
However, THOSE public demonstrations did not hardly even make the news outside Mexico – let alone toppling the government of Mexico!
…which is plainly the agenda now, by energizing the twitter liberals, the Televis actresses, and the fire-throwing anarchist actors to prolong this “crisis” in order to provoke a change the long-established constitutional order in Mexico.

OT but whatever is going on with Ebola ? Now its just not in the news anymore…is it still rampaging through Africa ?
[from Blue]
I’m posting this from an alien world, having lost in alien ‘meatspace’ of a sort all day — the new system running Linux Mint Cinnamon (the anti-fascist OS). Very good, but I haven’t found where the cafeteria is yet in this building, and keep getting lost in the hallways — much less knowing where the nearest news stand is.
The most difficult part is extricating myself from Microsoft and the built-up dependencies on it (familiarity with it and the Windows programs, file formats, archive structures, working habits…) — not, I think, completely dissimilar from a country trying to extricate itself from the political and financial western empire.
Anyway, I did manage to look in at Russia Insider and saw Saker’s comment regarding the Strelkov interview. I don’t know — maybe he was always like that, or maybe he’s gone a round the bend some from the pressures of the war and all. Can happen.
I’m not sure what Saker means by ‘monarchist’ but as, largely, an anarcho-socialist (politically aligned with the cats), I resist the idea of any sort of authoritarianism, and don’t see those with power (and money) as being any better than the more average slobs like me, and generally not as sane. Or maybe say ‘left libertarian’? But neo-Marxist cats don’t fit well with labels.
Of course there are problems with the ignorant and emotional masses, and, as such, with participative democracy, etc., but the elite are no better, even if they are putatively on the side of the masses. Tolkien had it right regarding the ‘One Ring of Power’: it corrupts.
_BLue.
Best wishes.

Olika mordteorierna kring Palme

Säpos olagliga buggning av den ryske diplomaten ledde till uppslitande KU-förhör men total tystnad från partiledare och regering.
– Det fanns ett ryss-spår som försvann utan förklaring, säger dåvarande rikskriminalchefen Tommy Lindström.
Saker: This one does not fit here quite well but I could not resist with this example to show you how low Swedish MSM has fallen. In this one they want to “smear” somehow KGB fot the murder of former prime minister Olof Palme. If one thinks carefully he (Palme) had more foes from the CIA/US direction since he was highly critical to the US wars and he was truly socialistic oriented. Fortunately judging from comments sections of the newspapers here not many people fall in this trap/lie.
I wish you the best of luck in your offscreen endevours Saker, but I do wish you’d stop using that awful cyberpunk term. We are not ‘meat’ but living flesh, and the internet is located in datacentres that consume energy to run and water to keep themselves cool and occupy space on planet earth. ;-)
Dear Saker, it’s great what you wrote on conspiracy theories and credibility. That’s exactly what I wrote so many times but people don’t seem to understand it. It’s very seldom that the people conspires against the onepercenters (much too sledom) but they conspire always and every time. Their way of life.
Best regards and a good sleep.

It good video and article relating to Putin clamping down on business corruption in Russia as a means to combat the effect of economic sanctions and falling Oil prices.

Saker
I was wondering why you don’t bolt on the standalone chat software like DisQus or Livefyre.
There’s management dialogue box where you can set parameters for comment deletion like for example 5 flags for abusive comments, 3 flags for genuine “spam” etc etc
That way your readers can self regulate quite easily…..and we can also interact between ourselves much easier regarding various different topics to reply to.

This is clearly meant as a sarcastic joke. It is of course UNTRUE.
It was photoshopped together from an August 17 image from Ferguson, one sample of it here

“A picture says a thousand words” — yes but 900 of them are lies.
re: Your health. Saker: rest please. Hold the position you have with pride, too. You do a great job of holding everyone to high standards. It is enough that you do that whenever you can.
this is a blog with high integrity. Hope that the Spanish blog gets up soon as Latin America is really hip to the wiles of the gringo–their death squads, their hypocrisy, their greed.
authorized all comments? OK. credibility is important . It comes from the root word “to believe” and integrity is as important as credibility because it is the framework on which one hangs one’s credibility. Social acceptability is not important. Credibility means that which can be accepted because it seems possible. Now I hold all fanciful projections of possibility up to the measure of rationality and probability in a world where almost everything seems “possible”–drones, zombies, nano machines in the bloodstream, extraterrestrial sightings,rogue viruses unleashed by evil elites who keep the antidotes to these sequestered in underground vaults etc. remembering always that there is no earthly omnipotent, infallible power and as one contributor pointed out, the humanity of it all is not in the black vs. white of the machines but in the shades of grey, the dawn and the dusk and the crazy paradoxes of human experience. And let us not forget the binding glue of compassion which holds us all together for higher purpose and, indeed, group survival.
Hey Saker,
Try a big spoon of magnesium chloride in a liter of water. It boosts the immune system and is perfect to fight all auto immune diseases.
@ redbaron
there is a new blog being prepared. There was one a few months back but it fell apart. There is a much better one on the way. It will have at least threaded comments, dunno about flags. The one that broke down also had nested comments, and faster moderation (once you were approved you went straight through, if you were signed up). It was very popular and busy.
Benito: No color has been announced for the Mexican Spring revolt, any suggestions?
What about black like coffin? This last killing is just the tip of the iceberg if you consider what has been going on for years. The murder of women in Juarez, the murder raping of immigrants on their way to the US by the gangs, the killing harassment of people kidnappings of young girls in Michoacan, the killing of journalists last one a female doctor reporting from Tamaulipas since “normal” journalist do not dare to do their job any longer, the non stop kidnappings (Mexico number one in the world. Mexico is in tailspin to its destruction, the ruling political elite with president Peña Nieto is doing their best for this to happen!
Oscar: yes indeed no doubt about the fact that many murders have been committed, I can attest to this, as we have been living with this criminal violence at close range for the past several years.
However, I can’t see how interrupting the constitutional order in response to these provocations is going to be to the advantage of Mexico.
The mass-media is pushing the line that the President of Mexico should be forced from office at any time.
The major mass-media, the twitter liberals and the Televisa actresses and the flame-throwing anarchists seem to present a united front on this issue.
This blatant campaign to overthrow the President seems to accord perfectly with the Color Revolution methods of the neighbor to the North.
That the president appears to be a lightweight person, maybe even a buffoon, even if he as impotent and clueless as he seems, that wouldn’t detract from the importance of not allowing covert blue-eyed operators to mess with well-established Mexican Constitutional processes.
Because there’s so much interest in ebola I call your attention to this interview of Francis Boyle an attorney w experience in the area. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article40012.htm
