Someone who I consider to be smarter than me recommended the saker. I tried for about a week or two to see what they saw in him, but I failed, ending my attempt with a rather long post about why Russia seems sus. To the saker's credit, my post was published, finished off with a little dispute and the accusation that I was nothing but a troll. I stopped reading the guy who I consider to be smarter than me, too.
I castigated Caitlan on dozens of online sites for her failure to condemn the mRNA jab mandate. She ignored every approach and I got banned from those sites. The positive side to this is that it assisted me to identify MintPress News and ConsortiumNews as globalist shills.
The only good thing about the whole "covid" scam is that it has has made various actors show their true colors and it has sifted out the honest from the dishonest.
What's so frustrating is that it really seemed to me that quite a few people had realized at last that all these major powers in both North America, Europe and Asia acted in lockstep with regards to the fake pandemic and the ensuing agenda which clearly suggested some kind of overarching collaboration.
Then comes the war and boom, most people are herded back into the pre-covid camps of "West" and "East". Very disappointing to see the lack of integrity.
Jesse Zurawell and Kit Knightly recently had an excellent discussion along these lines:
I think Jesse and Kit take themselves and the myth of "academic objectivity" way too seriously. Anybody who does not recognise that the US engineered the war in Ukraine and damaged the Nordstream pipline, has been asleep for the past eighty years. If, in another decade, we discover UK or other national involvement in this war event, it changes nothing. The world is under attack by elitists and plutocrats, who have been in an alliance with certain transnational corporations, and the other admixtures... Zionists/Khazarians, the Vatican, the aristocracy, Fabian Socialists/Tavistockians, and so on, which constitute details that should concern us only when it comes to mopping up operations after our national traitors have been identified, tried, and hanged.
Listening to these two makes me want to barge into their studio, slap them over the heads with a crowbar, put a weapon in their hands, and say to them "Fight or shut up". What we need now is a lot less talk and a national uprising in every country. In my opinion, the most immediate traitors are those talking of protest and court action. There is no point in petitioning a corrupt judge, or appealing to the human compassion and empathy of psychopaths. That ship sailed ten years ago.
Yep, when a so called aware person or group still pushes official bs like 911, the JFK assassination, or convid... I start to understand that they're a limited hangout.
They don't even have to be CIA, just by them compromising on such an important topic makes them COMPROMISED 🤑
I said earlier "To the saker's credit, my post was published, finished off with a little dispute and the accusation that I was nothing but a troll."
At the risk of being OCD, I should clarify that it wasn't the saker himself who published my post, squabbled with me and then labelled me a troll, but one of his moderators - who was there nonetheless to uphold the saker's beliefs
Clearly you haven't spent any time listening to or watching the Duran or any of their personal channels. Yes, Alexander Mercouris screwed up in the past but to say the UK establishment is protecting them? I'm not a Duran apologist but these guys are some of the few who are speaking the truth about what's REALLY going on in Ukraine. I can watch anybody at this point and glean info from them, put it on shelf and then throw the rest out. If you can't juggle multiple balls in the air, then I don't know what to tell you and you're in for a shit storm of confusion.
"While the switch-over has plunged European citizens into an energy crisis, that's OK. It is essential for the future of the planet that Europeans are convinced to accept ever increasing energy prices. Otherwise they might not welcome the transition to the "sustainable energy" that will make their lives much worse."
"Don't forget, according to Western and Russian MSM outlets, it's all a secret. Which may come as a relief to some, because otherwise the Russian government would have been colluding with the EU to ensure that the Ukrainian military could stay in the fight wouldn't it?"
I hope you are getting what I mean. The Duran will NEVER tell you this. The goal is to deindustrialize Europe. It's all just manufacturing consent as usual
I made this shit tier meme last year to explain it as basically as I can:
I have been following the Duran for over a year. They have been most critical of the sabotage of the pipelines and they have constantly pointed out that it will lead to the deindustrialisation of Europe. In view of this, I can only assume that you don't follow their work.
I can’t recall which episode over the last week, but the Duran spoke about the aim at de industrializing the EU and in particular Germany (for the ultimate economic interests of the US and China).
I don’t find them particularly pro Russia, pro USA, or pro nUke-rain, or pro anyone. Aka apolitical. Exactly what you want in geopolitical analysts.
But I’m open to changing my mind about anyone in the future.
I usually read around and somewhere in the soup pot is a bit of meat - truth.
I absolutely understand where you coming from on all fronts. I do get that deindustrialization of the EU has been the goal all along and to make Ukraine the staging ground for the reset, Green agenda, CBDCS, passports and so on. I know it's all a psyop at this point and the clowns are in league together. Thank you for your kind words. I pray that your technical issues get fixed quickly and your kitty makes a strong recovery.
Maybe you're right but I'm doing the best I can. I can also read between the lines and see what's not being said. I'm not going to argue with you and bash you. God bless you and I hope that your day if full of peace and love.
I don't really have any hot takes about the Duran. For me the whole "YouTube analysis" scene is very peculiar; to be fair, I don't follow the Duran closely so I can't pretend to know how "correct" they are.
(***giggling***) A bit of well-earned schadenfreude is not wasted on you, sir.
I am not nearly so hard on Gospodin Saker Vineyardignomavich. I see him as about par for the course and better than average, really.
But "the dean"? Surely Dmitri Orlov deserves that title, he of the reliably prophetic, childishly surly, and 99% correct fact-to-conclusion ratio. He of course, misses big time when it comes to Russia/covid but, last I knew, was decent enough to hide from the truth of this by keeping mum while tossing ineffective ad hominems at people like me who dared bring the topic up. This "decency" is better than 99% of today's journalists, mainstream or alt, professional or dilettante, paid or paying, so I dismiss that trifle against him, not needing it since I know by experience he is an orc-ian sumbitch who needs a good thumping. Nonetheless, he has an astonishing track record for being right if also an insecure vain shrill ugly stepsister. (Hmmm... methinks maybe I don't like him. ;))
The Saker was just a low-grade Russian Scott Ritter. Useful enough but such is a tool. Nonetheless, he is good enough to have earned this:
It's like my Granddaddy said, "Anyone who hates Hillary Clinton can't be all bad." My granddad was also a clairvoyant prophet, not unlike (pert near) 99% of substack authors and their commenting readers. We, and we alone, we elite proud few kommandos das keboardski, know THE Real Truth(2.0? 3.0? I'm so behind the times.)
I exclude thee from the 99%, Mr. Ed. (insert "straight from the horse's mouth" quip). You are among the 1%ers. High praise indeed, relatively speaking. I add that you are genuinely funny, kindly decent to your readers, and remember to smell the roses (youtube music vids that you share). But that 1% might not bear too much scrutiny. For example, there are those among us whose tinfoil trilby is trimmed with a coal-mine canary feather that is keenly sensitive to even the slightest breeze of bullshit (especially the unconscious kind that plagues all of us).
My feather twitches when I hear smug self-confident assertions that not only do the oligarchic banksters have their fingers in every piehole (which I believe is true) but that they have something like a real plan by which to enact their grandiose coke-dreams. There is an eerie overlap between greedily blind stupidity and megalomaniacal evil genius. Both seem equally adept at destroying everything necessary and good while replacing it with shiny jive dumpster filler. It's like a Dumb&Dumber Janus. Imagine a peace negotiation between this guy:
I'll ask those of us so willing to consider that just because a war is driven by the usual bankster scams doesn't mean that it isn't nonetheless harmful to a nation large enough to blow the snorkle-juice out of anyone that backs it into a corner. Yes, money-driven cokehead pedosexuals are more than stupid enough to pursue their interests into a dilemma that they can't get out of if only because they're too deranged to comprehend the insane folly of their actions. They can back Bad Old St. Putin and Company into a dire corner and not know a loaded shotgun when they see it pointed in their face cocked and ready.
Banksters have no boundaries (see: pedosexual etc.). Thus they don't recognise genuine sovereign boundaries of a major regional empire that has existed in varying forms continuously for 1,000 years. Too busy looking at little numbers on little screens while having their weenies massaged by little fingers.
I think we see eye-to-eye on 99.9% of what has been presented and discussed, which is nigh unanimous agreement between us. Only things in your presented perspective against which I've dissented are the (to my mind) pointless quibbles about Russia not winning the war fast/perfectly enough, and the tendency to assign nigh omniscient/omnipotent status to the psychological deformities that human governance naturally selects into positions of power.
Not that it is irrational to feel that way. But for my money, if I'm going to invest full-wallet into Almighty Overlord beliefs, I want the full monty: shape-shifting ET lizards with Annunaki passports and a need for underage ovary samples. (Which perspective is also far from irrational: it actually fits the data pretty well. But at that point, discussing geopolitics becomes indistinguishable from the latest FX display from the Marvel/Star-Wars<>Trek military-religious entertainment complex movie.)
He mostly sticks to covid, but since covid is proving to be the One Ring to Bind Them, it's a satisfying fish-eye view of the thing with an eye toward bureaucracy itself as the Behemoth, not the parasitic fleas like Gates and Davos et al who feed on the thing.
The sergeants ruin(typo stays) the army, not the generals. We little people do the (allegedly) Big People's bidding, and that's that. Caviling against the Big People and mass formation hypnosis and the gullible inertia of das sheeple and the wily insidious evil of it all is swell, I guess, but my world, which is THE world (I'll fight you for it!;)) begins and ends, changes or maintains patterns, gets better or worse, per my actions and attitudes.
Ya seen one selfish pig-headed amoral pharaoh, you seen 'em all.
Me, I keep my eye on the orphans-to-be next door and try to conjure an escape/salvage plan. Why kvetch about shit when you can play hero? Here I am in my superhero costume displaying my ultimate secret power:
I first discovered the VineyardSaker blog more than ten years ago. The content and character of the blog at that time was different, less emotional, more "technical", and explained military procedures that were new to me and seemed authentic.
The content changed over time, the blog became more of what Marjanović aptly called "group therapy" for critics of the Western part of the empire. This was also evident in the guest articles, which became increasingly strange and questionable. On topics with which I have no direct expertise, I can have doubts, but must reserve final judgment; when it comes to a field in which I have expertise, however, I can see the gigantic scale of the shenanigans posted on the Saker-blog. Add to that the moderation policy, which was oriented on positions, not arguments, and disallowed sound views that ran counter to blog master's opinion - an experience many have had.
I just discovered that AntiEmpire also republishes articles of people like notorious Godfree Roberts (something like a small "Saker" for the CCP fanboys).
It's good to know though; I will be more critical in future here too.
The Faker ran out of pro-Putin bullshit to sell to his audience. Trying to asspull reasons for the Putin regime's close choreography of plandemic, war, etc. with the USEUNATO terrorist conglomerate can deplete your stocks of nonsense quite fast, he must have been getting help from Russian insiders to last that long.
You are right about The Sakers view on Covid. He was misled like many others. In itself that is a very interesting point of analysis.
But, please there is hardly anyone in the russo oriented alternative media that deserves more respect than him. In have followed and read almost every post and analisys he wrote since 2007. Way before his blog became famous in 2014.
Calling The Saker a clown, makes you twice the fool. You are better than this.
"shit smear post" -- quoting the fact that the Saker thinks unvaxxed people deserve "shitty lives", the fact that he wanted to regime-change Lukashenko in November 2021 (lol), and the fact that he is pathologically unable confront reality. yes, how dare me.
I used to work as a translator for the French "faker" blog. As I have already mentioned, that blog is independant and has had a different view on the scamdemic but Andreï is not genuine and is really a sold out, a whore...
At least Xavier Moreau has never ever defended the scamdemic or defamed Lukashenko, thus deserve some respect.
Riley, I wish the best for you, stay strong my man!
Salut Riley! I'm fine thanks Jah (or whatever name). The work at the cheese dairy took all my time so I didn't have time to comment. Working from 8 Am to 7 Pm with a 3 hour pause in between where I could rest. 10 km a day climbing back home with the recumbent gave me a very good cardiac and strong legs (lol). I must admit that I was also fed up with the pseudo sandrine...
I wish you are fine mon amis. Take good care of you and Gamarjoba!!
Moreau always expressed strong opposition to the covid circus and the pass but he seems to think it's not an issue anymore. he commented on the recent russian biometric framework and said that it contained very strong safeguards for privacy so it's all cool.
Hi man, you are right but I don't think it is malice from his part, just superficiality in his analysis. Still he is a staunch pro Poutine, even if he admits that many of his friends in Russia are critics. He is totally engaged in the war. I prefer Erwan Castel whose blog I can't reach anymore but who has been giving good talks on Kairos. I would love to hear him in conversation with Riley.
Anyone who promoted the injected bioweapons should at the very least apologise publicly. Doctors who should know better should be disbarred. We are living in a clown world.
Ron Unz, who has been so dishonest when presented masses of evidences is slowly changing his tone but the "faker"... No way, thus demonstrating he has been on some oligarch payroll.
Ron Unz did a great job of ignoring the damage the clotshots were causing. He tried to divert attention to the fake Covid tests and the origins of a virus that has never been isolated or proven to cause a disease. By magic, annual flu has disappeared as a cause of death worldwide.
used to be a huge unz fan. his stance on the covid circus was a stunning disappointment and i quit reading and commenting there. how is unz changing? one thing he seems to have been right about is that there's a bioweapon involved. but bioweapon != zoonotic gof virus that we need lockdowns to guard against
I recently read in diagonal a piece of his American Pravda translated into French where he was changing his tone. Maybe you will find it but... Thee are many other important other thing to read than him and his 1500 IQ and lack of humility and sense of humour.
what's your opinion of Modeste Schwart who writes at Cultures&Racines ? Odd and difficult to follow but quite smart and I'm pretty sure he reads (at least sometimes) this blog. he's a self confessed former fan of Putin who now sees him as nothing but a wannabe Davos sycophant.
The guy is definitely, according to me a very bright mind, highly educated, with great experience. He has got a real literary style, I read him on the excellent Courrier des Stratèges. His style might be hard to follow but I guess he is not the kind of guy who wants to be "followed" (lol), to clever.
He is still going on about the search for this "virus" that has never been isolated or proven to make people sick. The fact that the regular flu has stopped killing people is ignored. The fact that millions of people have been killed by the fake vaccine is never analysed.
Unz is a part of the deal. His articles about the fake Holocaust and much else are just there to establish his credibility with the requisite demographic subset. It is all quite scientific. Modern marketing.
"His articles about the fake Holocaust and much else are just there to establish his credibility with the requisite demographic subset. It is all quite scientific. Modern marketing."
Spot on! I appears to be a beacon of free speech, where of course there are very bright commentators (I learned about Riley's blog there) but as many used to say when we were debating during the scamdemic, it might very well be a trap.
Meanwhile take care of yourself and all the other non-bot commentators and readers.
As an aside, have any of you been reading that great article?
Thank you for that. I took a quick look at article. I am profoundly sceptical about AI. It was a big sell in 1983 - when I was IT manager at INSEAD. The professors disliked me for not going along with the flow.
IMHO, today's programmers are not as smart as those of my generation - let alone the previous generation. That is obvious to me for many reasons. 😊
Do you remember how they were until recently hyping 3D printers? Well, all of that has suddenly disappeared from the media. I wonder why? 🤣
I followed the Saker for some years. However, I got spooked by his attitude towards the shots and QR codes etc. I mean, the Orthodox believers in Russia are mostly very much in opposition to all of that.
I kept on reading as there were good writers on his website. But I stopped trusting his judgement.
I have already mentioned the very excellent work of Karine Bechet-Golovko which deserve attention because of her love of Russia and her very critical and honest analysis. Once again, a very good article about the Wagner PMC:
Since I will have more time in the coming week I might write something about the very dire French situation and the staggering reality of rampant pedophilia in high places. It is very true. It is not an element of propaganda from Poutine.
Remember that micron was groomed by it's wife (most likely a tranny) when he was 14...
As I commented somewhere in the past that this retarded statist nationalist thinks he were a "strategist genius" just because he did work alongside with the Alphabet soup for sometime in Switzerland. I remember he even posted some retarded doctor interviewing as proof of "real Covid pandemic" and banned anyone who dared to talk about Plandemic and the Clotshot! And the Jews ass kisser Rich Sanchez too. This clown cut off any guest of his show, who dared to question the official narrative! If my memory doesn't betray me, Dr Shiva Ayyadurai was his first victim in this regard right at the beginning of the Plandemic. I thought he's gone...but he's back with more non-sense and garbage!
Well, we cannot stop these kind of self-aggrandizing genius being born into this world. Let facts get rid of them!
Riley. I guess I don't get the point of people having what I call blog/Substack wars; which I see more in Covid blogs but I see as well as in geo-political blogs from time to time.
Many people have different views and I link like, as well as opposing views. I have linked both you and the Saker in the past @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/ if I thought the article brought pertinent information to the table. An article such as this does not bring anything to the table. In fact, I feel that it even diminishes past works perhaps.
Excuse me, but I am not excusing anyone who endorsed the clot shot. Or am I defending that stance. I have never linked anything by the Saker supporting his stance on this subject, just a few of his geopolitical articles and it has been some time since I have even done that, as like you said yourself. he has changed over time!
If you would take the time to actually see what I link, you would have known my stance on the clotshots, I have linked extensively against them for over 3 years. Banter over tea, not hardly!!!! Was just suggesting that these types of articles don't do much, You are reading too much into this.
I wonder when the next leap will be taken from knowing the clot shots were poison garbage to that covid never existed at all, and that virology is a fake science and no virus has ever been isolated or shown to exist.
Saker was/is controlled opposition and his contracted project terminated.
I read the article and jumped to no incoherent conclusions. I did not say I disagreed with Riley's observations, just that I don't read his Substack for these type of articles, but rather for his Russian insights. Thanks for your input and have a good day.
The best part of the Saker was the translations of high Russian politicians’ speeches and interviews. These are very difficult to obtain within the 5EYES nations. The country is so pro nUke rain, that many Church of ENGLAND steeples fly Ukrainian flags. .
As for the war itself, I want it over asap. I pray for all the soldiers and their families. A dead son, is mourned by his mother irregardless of which side he’s fought on.
I’ll leave you with the lyrics for this song. It was sung by both sides during the US Civil War:
Wiki has an 1898 recording of it! V touching version.
I tried to get into him way back but he reminded me of those guys who reviews tech and always has a positive response, as if they're really fan boys or just paid to promote things.
These days I chopped out a lot of sources that just keep repeating bullshit. Yes, I lose the good investigative stuff, but there are plenty more people that also report that without pushing idealistic bullshit.
"Truth bomb"? I found it was just an interesting exercise in conspiracy thinking. Knighlty was right in writing that piece but provided no proof (still it's good to think differently) and until then I read things about the pollution in the area.
Instead of tearing down your fellow men and women, Edward, you should have found common cause with them. Only then would you have been authorized to view the names and faces of your true enemy. So far, you have failed to do so and time runs short.
Your helplessnessand bitterness will only lead you to a world with more qabal.

anyone who disagrees with the Saker is attacked as a "troll".
Just as anyone who disagrees with conspiracy theorist paranoia created by cia and satan, is called a "shill".
Just like Caitlin Johnstone...
She ignored the whole convid hell in her country, Australia and is now saying that it wasn't a big deal? WTF
See the comments by Tereza and a few of us...
https://caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/free-speech-is-for-fighting-the-empire

There is no point in petitioning a corrupt judge, or appealing to the human compassion and empathy of psychopaths. That ship sailed ten years ago.
"fight or shut up"?
Sounds like Bush with Iraq and Afghanistan....
The fight is to stop falling for Orwellian wars "we were always at war with eurasia" etc.
Even Edward slavsquat, this blog, is about calling out the way the war is being played.
Yep, when a so called aware person or group still pushes official bs like 911, the JFK assassination, or convid... I start to understand that they're a limited hangout.
They don't even have to be CIA, just by them compromising on such an important topic makes them COMPROMISED 🤑
True, Rob. I suspect they do more damage than the CIA and Rupert Murdoch combined.

I was blissfully unaware of his body of work. Perhaps I am not going to explore further at this point in time. :)))
Me too hah!
Hey Riley, hope all is well.
I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on The Duran. IMO they are a limited hangout; have they ever been correct about anything?
Looking into Mercouris' background is pretty interesting.

It sounds a bit like the UK Establishment has been protecting him, which is never a good sign.

Sorry, I'm balls deep in fixing a complicated technical server issue right now whilst nursing an injured stray cat. The two tasks aren't compatible.
My last reply was a bit unkind, I apologize.
Read this superb piece by Iain Davis:
https://iaindavis.substack.com/p/war-certainly-is-a-racket
"While the switch-over has plunged European citizens into an energy crisis, that's OK. It is essential for the future of the planet that Europeans are convinced to accept ever increasing energy prices.

"f you can't juggle multiple balls in the air, then I don't know what to tell you and you're in for a shit storm of confusion."
That's hilarious. You have no idea how deep this rabbit hole is. If you trust Duran you aren't in very deep I'm afraid.
It's not what they ARE telling you, it's what they AREN'T telling you. You have much to learn about fifth-generation warfare it seems.
Maybe you're right but I'm doing the best I can. I can also read between the lines and see what's not being said. I'm not going to argue with you and bash you. God bless you and I hope that your day if full of peace and love.
hey baboon :) how's life my friend?
I don't really have any hot takes about the Duran. For me the whole "YouTube analysis" scene is very peculiar; to be fair, I don't follow the Duran closely so I can't pretend to know how "correct" they are.
The Duran guys are spreading Eurasianist BRICS propaganda. Of course they would be protected.
Rockefeller institute started the BRICS movement....

For example, there are those among us whose tinfoil trilby is trimmed with a coal-mine canary feather that is keenly sensitive to even the slightest breeze of bullshit (especially the unconscious kind that plagues all of us).
My feather twitches when I hear smug self-confident assertions that not only do the oligarchic banksters have their fingers in every piehole (which I believe is true) but that they have something like a real plan by which to enact their grandiose coke-dreams. There is an eerie overlap between greedily blind stupidity and megalomaniacal evil genius. Both seem equally adept at destroying everything necessary and good while replacing it with shiny jive dumpster filler. It's like a Dumb&Dumber Janus. Imagine a peace negotiation between this guy:

and this guy:

with their negotiated offspring being something like this:

JUst what we need: more dumpster fodder.
Modern reality makes bad old Channel Z seem like a sanctuary of peace:

I'll ask those of us so willing to consider that just because a war is driven by the usual bankster scams doesn't mean that it isn't nonetheless harmful to a nation large enough to blow the snorkle-juice out of anyone that backs it into a corner. Yes, money-driven cokehead pedosexuals are more than stupid enough to pursue their interests into a dilemma that they can't get out of if only because they're too deranged to comprehend the insane folly of their actions. They can back Bad Old St. Putin and Company into a dire corner and not know a loaded shotgun when they see it pointed in their face cocked and ready.
Banksters have no boundaries (see: pedosexual etc.). Thus they don't recognise genuine sovereign boundaries of a major regional empire that has existed in varying forms continuously for 1,000 years. Too busy looking at little numbers on little screens while having their weenies massaged by little fingers.
I know we don't always see eye-to-eye on everything (which of course isn't necessary), but I've always appreciated your comments and your readership.

I think we see eye-to-eye on 99.9% of what has been presented and discussed, which is nigh unanimous agreement between us. Only things in your presented perspective against which I've dissented are the (to my mind) pointless quibbles about Russia not winning the war fast/perfectly enough, and the tendency to assign nigh omniscient/omnipotent status to the psychological deformities that human governance naturally selects into positions of power.
Not that it is irrational to feel that way. But for my money, if I'm going to invest full-wallet into Almighty Overlord beliefs, I want the full monty: shape-shifting ET lizards with Annunaki passports and a need for underage ovary samples. (Which perspective is also far from irrational: it actually fits the data pretty well. But at that point, discussing geopolitics becomes indistinguishable from the latest FX display from the Marvel/Star-Wars<>Trek military-religious entertainment complex movie.)
My fave thinker on this stuff is this guy: https://www.eugyppius.com/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=profile_page
He mostly sticks to covid, but since covid is proving to be the One Ring to Bind Them, it's a satisfying fish-eye view of the thing with an eye toward bureaucracy itself as the Behemoth, not the parasitic fleas like Gates and Davos et al who feed on the thing.
The sergeants ruin(typo stays) the army, not the generals. We little people do the (allegedly) Big People's bidding, and that's that. Caviling against the Big People and mass formation hypnosis and the gullible inertia of das sheeple and the wily insidious evil of it all is swell, I guess, but my world, which is THE world (I'll fight you for it!;)) begins and ends, changes or maintains patterns, gets better or worse, per my actions and attitudes.

"Unearned unhappiness
That's all right I guess"
I first discovered the VineyardSaker blog more than ten years ago. The content and character of the blog at that time was different, less emotional, more "technical", and explained military procedures that were new to me and seemed authentic.
The content changed over time, the blog became more of what Marjanović aptly called "group therapy" for critics of the Western part of the empire. This was also evident in the guest articles, which became increasingly strange and questionable. On topics with which I have no direct expertise, I can have doubts, but must reserve final judgment; when it comes to a field in which I have expertise, however, I can see the gigantic scale of the shenanigans posted on the Saker-blog. Add to that the moderation policy, which was oriented on positions, not arguments, and disallowed sound views that ran counter to blog master's opinion - an experience many have had.
A final piece of the puzzle worth reading about the character of the "Saker" and his obsession with the "5th column" is provided by this article I discovered just a few days ago: https://antiempire.substack.com/p/faker-of-the-vinyard-is-5th-column
Good riddance!
I just discovered that AntiEmpire also republishes articles of people like notorious Godfree Roberts (something like a small "Saker" for the CCP fanboys).
It's good to know though; I will be more critical in future here too.
The Faker ran out of pro-Putin bullshit to sell to his audience. Trying to asspull reasons for the Putin regime's close choreography of plandemic, war, etc. with the USEUNATO terrorist conglomerate can deplete your stocks of nonsense quite fast, he must have been getting help from Russian insiders to last that long.
This shit smear post is beneath you.
You are right about The Sakers view on Covid. He was misled like many others. In itself that is a very interesting point of analysis.
But, please there is hardly anyone in the russo oriented alternative media that deserves more respect than him. In have followed and read almost every post and analisys he wrote since 2007. Way before his blog became famous in 2014.
Calling The Saker a clown, makes you twice the fool. You are better than this.
"shit smear post" -- quoting the fact that the Saker thinks unvaxxed people deserve "shitty lives", the fact that he wanted to regime-change Lukashenko in November 2021 (lol), and the fact that he is pathologically unable confront reality. yes, how dare me.
I used to work as a translator for the French "faker" blog. As I have already mentioned, that blog is independant and has had a different view on the scamdemic but Andreï is not genuine and is really a sold out, a whore...
At least Xavier Moreau has never ever defended the scamdemic or defamed Lukashenko, thus deserve some respect.
Riley, I wish the best for you, stay strong my man!
Hey Bugey! how's life, my friend?
Salut Riley! I'm fine thanks Jah (or whatever name). The work at the cheese dairy took all my time so I didn't have time to comment. Working from 8 Am to 7 Pm with a 3 hour pause in between where I could rest. 10 km a day climbing back home with the recumbent gave me a very good cardiac and strong legs (lol). I must admit that I was also fed up with the pseudo sandrine...
I wish you are fine mon amis. Take good care of you and Gamarjoba!!
Cheese factory...
Moreau always expressed strong opposition to the covid circus and the pass but he seems to think it's not an issue anymore. he commented on the recent russian biometric framework and said that it contained very strong safeguards for privacy so it's all cool.
Hi man, you are right but I don't think it is malice from his part, just superficiality in his analysis. Still he is a staunch pro Poutine, even if he admits that many of his friends in Russia are critics. He is totally engaged in the war. I prefer Erwan Castel whose blog I can't reach anymore but who has been giving good talks on Kairos. I would love to hear him in conversation with Riley.
Respect
Anyone who promoted the injected bioweapons should at the very least apologise publicly. Doctors who should know better should be disbarred. We are living in a clown world.

Ron Unz, who has been so dishonest when presented masses of evidences is slowly changing his tone but the "faker"... No way, thus demonstrating he has been on some oligarch payroll.
Ron Unz did a great job of ignoring the damage the clotshots were causing. He tried to divert attention to the fake Covid tests and the origins of a virus that has never been isolated or proven to cause a disease. By magic, annual flu has disappeared as a cause of death worldwide.
I rarely go to unz.com
Don't trust anyone!
used to be a huge unz fan. his stance on the covid circus was a stunning disappointment and i quit reading and commenting there. how is unz changing? one thing he seems to have been right about is that there's a bioweapon involved. but bioweapon != zoonotic gof virus that we need lockdowns to guard against
I recently read in diagonal a piece of his American Pravda translated into French where he was changing his tone. Maybe you will find it but... Thee are many other important other thing to read than him and his 1500 IQ and lack of humility and sense of humour.
what's your opinion of Modeste Schwart who writes at Cultures&Racines ? Odd and difficult to follow but quite smart and I'm pretty sure he reads (at least sometimes) this blog. he's a self confessed former fan of Putin who now sees him as nothing but a wannabe Davos sycophant.
Salut hvl.
The guy is definitely, according to me a very bright mind, highly educated, with great experience. He has got a real literary style, I read him on the excellent Courrier des Stratèges. His style might be hard to follow but I guess he is not the kind of guy who wants to be "followed" (lol), to clever.
Take care
He is still going on about the search for this "virus" that has never been isolated or proven to make people sick. The fact that the regular flu has stopped killing people is ignored. The fact that millions of people have been killed by the fake vaccine is never analysed.
Unz is a part of the deal. His articles about the fake Holocaust and much else are just there to establish his credibility with the requisite demographic subset. It is all quite scientific. Modern marketing.
"His articles about the fake Holocaust and much else are just there to establish his credibility with the requisite demographic subset. It is all quite scientific. Modern marketing."
Spot on! I appears to be a beacon of free speech, where of course there are very bright commentators (I learned about Riley's blog there) but as many used to say when we were debating during the scamdemic, it might very well be a trap.
Meanwhile take care of yourself and all the other non-bot commentators and readers.
As an aside, have any of you been reading that great article?
https://joebot.substack.com/p/mental-jigsaw-how-ai-carves-out-space
Thank you for that. I took a quick look at article. I am profoundly sceptical about AI. It was a big sell in 1983 - when I was IT manager at INSEAD. The professors disliked me for not going along with the flow.
IMHO, today's programmers are not as smart as those of my generation - let alone the previous generation. That is obvious to me for many reasons. 😊
Do you remember how they were until recently hyping 3D printers? Well, all of that has suddenly disappeared from the media. I wonder why? 🤣
OUPSSSS" It appears to be" of course.
Bugey libre is back with his misspellings...
One love
You sound like a woman triggered by the blackpill. Could you not be another bully against incels? Thanks.
... Unless you want to disprove the blackpill (and you can't).
In final analysis you are right Sarah. All the exchanges with tons of hard proofs from many countries have been erased from his website.
I followed the Saker for some years. However, I got spooked by his attitude towards the shots and QR codes etc. I mean, the Orthodox believers in Russia are mostly very much in opposition to all of that.
I kept on reading as there were good writers on his website. But I stopped trusting his judgement.
I have already mentioned the very excellent work of Karine Bechet-Golovko which deserve attention because of her love of Russia and her very critical and honest analysis. Once again, a very good article about the Wagner PMC:
http://russiepolitics.blogspot.com/2023/02/wagner-ou-les-dangers-de-la.html#more
The blog includes a google translation device
Since I will have more time in the coming week I might write something about the very dire French situation and the staggering reality of rampant pedophilia in high places. It is very true. It is not an element of propaganda from Poutine.
Remember that micron was groomed by it's wife (most likely a tranny) when he was 14...
Good read
Oh my! Don't make me laugh out loud Riley!
As I commented somewhere in the past that this retarded statist nationalist thinks he were a "strategist genius" just because he did work alongside with the Alphabet soup for sometime in Switzerland. I remember he even posted some retarded doctor interviewing as proof of "real Covid pandemic" and banned anyone who dared to talk about Plandemic and the Clotshot! And the Jews ass kisser Rich Sanchez too. This clown cut off any guest of his show, who dared to question the official narrative! If my memory doesn't betray me, Dr Shiva Ayyadurai was his first victim in this regard right at the beginning of the Plandemic. I thought he's gone...but he's back with more non-sense and garbage!
Well, we cannot stop these kind of self-aggrandizing genius being born into this world. Let facts get rid of them!
Gosh, i don't know what to say, life will never be the same without him. The Saker has forsaken his flock. Sob! 😂
May the door hit him on the way out. What a JERK! Thanks, Riley, for holding him and his ilk accountable for the crap they spew.
Riley. I guess I don't get the point of people having what I call blog/Substack wars; which I see more in Covid blogs but I see as well as in geo-political blogs from time to time.
Many people have different views and I link like, as well as opposing views. I have linked both you and the Saker in the past @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/ if I thought the article brought pertinent information to the table. An article such as this does not bring anything to the table. In fact, I feel that it even diminishes past works perhaps.
Excuse me, but I am not excusing anyone who endorsed the clot shot. Or am I defending that stance. I have never linked anything by the Saker supporting his stance on this subject, just a few of his geopolitical articles and it has been some time since I have even done that, as like you said yourself. he has changed over time!
If you would take the time to actually see what I link, you would have known my stance on the clotshots, I have linked extensively against them for over 3 years. Banter over tea, not hardly!!!! Was just suggesting that these types of articles don't do much, You are reading too much into this.
I wonder when the next leap will be taken from knowing the clot shots were poison garbage to that covid never existed at all, and that virology is a fake science and no virus has ever been isolated or shown to exist.
Saker was/is controlled opposition and his contracted project terminated.
I read the article and jumped to no incoherent conclusions. I did not say I disagreed with Riley's observations, just that I don't read his Substack for these type of articles, but rather for his Russian insights. Thanks for your input and have a good day.
The best part of the Saker was the translations of high Russian politicians’ speeches and interviews. These are very difficult to obtain within the 5EYES nations. The country is so pro nUke rain, that many Church of ENGLAND steeples fly Ukrainian flags. .
As for the war itself, I want it over asap. I pray for all the soldiers and their families. A dead son, is mourned by his mother irregardless of which side he’s fought on.
I’ll leave you with the lyrics for this song. It was sung by both sides during the US Civil War:
Wiki has an 1898 recording of it! V touching version.
When Johnny comes marching home again
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give him a hearty welcome then
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The men will cheer and the boys will shout
The ladies they will all turn out
And we'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching home.
The old church bell will peal with joy
Hurrah! Hurrah!
To welcome home our darling boy,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The village lads and lassies say
With roses they will strew the way,
And we'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching home.
Get ready for the Jubilee,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We'll give the hero three times three,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The laurel wreath is ready now
To place upon his loyal brow
And we'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching home.
Let love and friendship on that day,
Hurrah, hurrah!
Their choicest pleasures then display,
Hurrah, hurrah!
And let each one perform some part,
To fill with joy the warrior's heart,
And we'll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching home.

CMIIW but AFAIK the guy lives in Florida. Belly of the beast I guess.
I wonder why he's quitting while the gravy train is still there for BRICS multi polar fan boys?
I wonder what the 5d faker thinks about this truth bomb?
https://off-guardian.org/2023/02/21/nordstream-2-seymour-hersh-feeds-the-fake-binary/
I tried to get into him way back but he reminded me of those guys who reviews tech and always has a positive response, as if they're really fan boys or just paid to promote things.
These days I chopped out a lot of sources that just keep repeating bullshit. Yes, I lose the good investigative stuff, but there are plenty more people that also report that without pushing idealistic bullshit.
Hi Rob, hope you are fine.
"Truth bomb"? I found it was just an interesting exercise in conspiracy thinking. Knighlty was right in writing that piece but provided no proof (still it's good to think differently) and until then I read things about the pollution in the area.
take care
Instead of tearing down your fellow men and women, Edward, you should have found common cause with them. Only then would you have been authorized to view the names and faces of your true enemy. So far, you have failed to do so and time runs short.
Your helplessnessand bitterness will only lead you to a world with more qabal.
I'm sorry, not the subject too much but has this news anything to do with reality??
https://changera4.blogspot.com/2023/03/poutine-fait-detruire-tous-les-vaxx.html
Interesting. I'm not familiar enough with the situation, but I'm sure we will read a comment here if it turns out to be true.
The "original source" (https://realrawnews.com/2023/03/putin-orders-destruction-of-all-covid-19-vaccines-in-russia/) — which doesn't mention a source itself — doesn't seem especially trustworthy though.
