The Saker publishes a news and opinion site, thesaker.is
He remains anonymous, but offers this information about himself:
"My life has been one of ups and downs. Early on, after a pretty nasty childhood, it went up, rather rapidly. Then came the "fall from (pseudo-) grace" and I lost my career. It is still too early to go into all the details, but let's just say that I used to be associated with a "three letter outfit" whose existence was not well-known by the general public and which has since been disbanded. In my field, I got to the proverbial 'top' pretty early on, but soon the war in Bosnia began to open my eyes to many things I had never suspected before. Then I found out about two things which got me blacklisted in my own, putatively democratic, country: I found out that a group of people had uselessly been murdered as a result of the criminal incompetence of their superiors and I found out that one guy had taken a long jail sentence while all this superiors had managed to walk away from a crime they all had committed. And even though I never went public, or even told my closest friends about it (to protect them), I was blacklisted and prevented from ever working again." Read the rest here.

Russia will not back down and, if cornered, she will wipe out your entire civilization. The Russians really don't want war, they fear it (as they should!) and they will do everything to avoid it. But if attacked then expect a response of absolutely devastating violence.

This month's historical developments have placed Russia and the West in a direct collision course. The Empire can now either fold or double down. If it decides to fold, war will be averted and meaningful negotiations finally entered into. If it doubles down, something the Neocons always do, then this means war with Russia.

Why does nobody dare to pronounce the term "Genocide" in connection with the Washington committed atrocities around the globe? The only country in the world that commits constant genocide and gets away with it, is the self-styled exceptional nation, the United States of America. We, the People, must -- and still can -- stop this.

The Americans are hands down the leaders in quantitative terms; but in qualitative terms they are already behind the Russians and falling back faster and faster with each passing day. For the time being it's all gonna be "red, white and blue" and Paul Craig Roberts will remain a lone voice crying in the desert. He will be ignored, yes. But that does not change the fact that he is right.

Has almost the entire world, its leaders, become psychopaths, succumbing to the Stockholm syndrome? -- They seek the protection of their very murderer. How sick has our western civilization become? The result of neoliberalism -- a "modern" form of fascism that makes people blindly obeying their butcher, confronting their own demise?

I hope that eventually the Americans will do what they did in al-Taif and simply pack, declare victory and leave. That would be the only rational thing to do. But after listening to Trump at the UN I don't get the feeling that being rational is at the top of the US priority list. That's all rather frightening.

the Neocons' refusal to accept the election of Donald Trump has resulted in a massive campaign to de-legitimize him. What the Neocons clearly fail to see, or don't care about, is that by de-legitimizing Trump they are also de-legitimizing the entire political process which brought Trump to power and upon which the United States is built as a society.

Whether Trump realizes it or not, he is now fighting for his life, politically and, probably, literally. And he has only days, maybe weeks, to take very strong action. If he continues to take hit after hit after hit and think that good speeches are going to save him, he is absolutely wrong.

The entire political establishment is so deeply involved in the struggle for power inside the USA, that very little bureaucratic energy is left to deal with anything else. Furthermore, in political terms, the "indispensable nation" and "city upon the hill" are now the laughingstock of the planet.

Okay, my sense is that a large number of commentators are misunderstanding the nature of what is going on. So, this time, rather than writing an analysis, I will spell it out, 'talking points' -- style and, hopefully, do a better job about making my point. So, here we go.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT FLYNN. Let me repeat that once more. THIS IS NOT ABOUT FLYNN!!! Please don't come and tell me that Flynn
This is about power.
