This is just one comment which the moderators intercepted, but which I decided to share with you to illustrate why I speak so often of “nutcases” or “ignorant idiots”. They are real. This one used “Judge & Executioner” as his handle. Check him out:
QED.
Sounds like either a Q-Anon follower, or a CIA troll trying to stir up trouble to discredit this blog. FYI, many Q-Anon types are also students of Ramtha’s School of Enlightenment, a pseudo Christian sect based in Washington state that claims to be experts in quantum mechanics, amongst other things.
I hate to say it but what a douche canoe. I think it’s a hit job by some American nutcase. I also bet a lot of blogs got hit with this tripe. I’m sorry you have to slog through this kind of stuff. I can’t find too many sane Americans right now. The best you can do is deal with the benign. Thanks for keeping the blog going anyway, in spite of this. I’d quit I tell you right now.
It’s a straw man argument made to deligitimize Covid skepticism, much as the wacky conspiracy theories in “Loose Change” helped mock and deplatform 9/11 Truth.
Loose Change, especially the “an American coup” version was a superb documentary.
Have you watched it?
As a judge in a court case I was following once remarked, “When coincidence is piled on coincidence piled on coincidence, at some point it stops being a coincidence.” Loose Change points to dozens – maybe hundreds – of improbable “coincidences”. I won’t start to list them, but look up and watch the documentary if you haven’t already done so.
Please be patient dear Saker and Mods.
We truly live in the Age of the Psychotic.
There is a general ongoing breakdown in society.
People lack manners in the best of times, but current extremely stressful conditions are bringing out the worst.
And this may be a limited hangout..
It is unfortunate he is simultaneously slandering Dr. PCR. As if his strong anti-vax views and general indulgence in hyperbole equals an indictment of you. Illogical! Some are not capable of nuance, and in their blind fear look to lash out in cowardly anonymity.
—
There were complaints of Hyperbole by some authors recently, and I know something in indulging in it personally, but my favorite source has traditionally been Dr. PCR. I check out his website daily for almost 20 years now, often just to scan the titles. At this point I know him so well, it is like sitting by a lamp to read a favorite book for the 15th time. I love him and all Southerners. They are not afraid to talk the truth. Also never fails to make me chuckle. Maintaining humor does not only boost immunity, it is an antidote to maelstrom of fear porn and general madness abounding..
God bless him, he is a one man oasis in these times. And there is usually choice incisive commentary with the titles too.
So please ignore this fool. Thanks for community you and gatekeeper Mods maintain for us.
Best Regards
Yeah that’s quite the load of Q nuttery. Must have taken an unholy amount of tendies and Cheetos for the esteemed “Judge” to work that one up. Kudos to Saker and the mods for keeping losers like this off the comments. I am sure it takes a ton of work, but it keeps the sanity level of the conversations here impressively high.
Nah, this fellow hasn’t done any homework for quite some time. If we limit eligible candidates to people who are alive today, then we should have to nominate one of these:
a) Vladimir Putin
b) Bashar al Assad
c) Aleksander Lukashenko
Anthony Fauci is a nullity by comparison 😄
How could you possibly forget Tony Blair, George W. Bush, and Henry Kissinger?
These adorable people all subscribe to European values and cannot be evil.
Old question: is he that stupid or does he get paid for it. As tinfoil-hat conspiracy theorist I of course assume the latter.
You of course won’t get punished for “crimes” you didn’t commit. And I hope you won’t be “punished” for your “vaccine”-gullibility by having an injured relative or being injured yourself by one of your next five booster-shots.
It would be best if the above comment was passed over in silence– simply deleted — and not showcased. We are living in highly emotional times, and the “Judge & Executioner” appears either unhinged or a devious troll. Are there not more worthy news or topics? Worse, the scapegoating of the dumb-dumb sends the not so subtle message that against the kooks, the right-thinking denizens of the Vineyard contradistinguish themselves from the American riff-raff.
I do not recall an article where the Saker advocated for mandatory vaccinations. I think that the Judge & Executioner is a little mixed up.

True! But some folks just don’t care about such minor stuff as “facts” :-)

I have had massive respect for The Saker, and Paul Craig Roberts for about 10 years.
I have no respect for “Judge & Executioner” for his accusations against the Saker, because so far as I am aware (and although I rarely post here, I regulary read this blog) Andrei has never been guilty of “promoting obligatory vaccinations”
I also note that The Saker has previously allowed free debate on the subject of COVID, despite his obvious views.
However a simple google search of a few of the comments that “Judge & Executioner” claims were made by Paul Craig Roberts, reveal that indeed they were.
I find the issue of COVID extremely divisive, at every level, from some of the blogs I read, and also with people I personally know, including my own family and some very good friends.
I think the aggressive venom spouted from both sides of the issue extremely unhelpful. Much more tolerance is required from both sides.
A sign of great intelligence, is to be able to change your mind, when you discover new information about any subject of major importance. Whilst in the great minority, I have managed to maintain communications with friends on both side of the argument, despite my very strongly held views.
I had much the same problem with my views on 9/11, but it took many years, before some of my friends changed their minds, agreed with me, and even apologised. I had long given up arguing about it. It caused me tremendous grief.
