Dear friends,
I have the pleasure to announce that even more talented people are joining our community, and in one of the most important aspects of our work: translations.
Until now, we had one group of three translators translating Russia media into English: these are the original “Saker Community Translators”. Now Ollie Richardson and Angelina Siard (who ran the excellent website “Stalker Zone”) will be joining our community of Russian->English translators. The two groups will be working separately and on different topics, so we will all benefit from two different “streams” of translations. Finally, I will continue to post the excellent videos by SouthFront. Thus the blog will now feature THREE (!) separate sections with translations and analytical materials:
- Saker Community Translations
- SouthFront News
- Stalker Zone translations
Ollie Richardson will also become a regular contributor to the “Guest Analyses” section.
Furthermore, I am happy to announce that we now have not one, but two translators joining our community to translate crucial texts from Arabic into English. These are:
- MiddleEastObserver.net
- Sayed Hasan
They have both already sent in many excellent contributions in the past, and their now focusing their efforts towards providing our community with translations is a very natural and organic transition.
It is impossible to overstate the importance of timely translations, especially at a time when the AngloZionist propaganda machine is trying to crush free speech in both the real and the virtual world.
While I am absolutely delighted to be joined by such wonderful people, I still wish we had more people willing to translate from other important languages, especially the following:
- Farsi
- Spanish
- French
- Hebrew
- Chinese
If you know these languages and if you could find even a few hours a week to help translate important texts and videos from these languages into English, please email me. I assure you that you will be welcomed with enthusiasm!
In conclusion, a small update about blog-related matters:
First, my health is doing better! I am grateful to all those who expressed their support and prayed for me.
Second, I want to draw your attention to the absolutely world-class quality of contributors to the “Guest Analyses” section. I sincerely believe that this guest analyses section is the best I have ever seen and I am immensely proud that so many wonderful and knowledgeable people have joined it.
Third, I am happy to “pre-announce” (that is unofficially) that we are working in the last details and that my next book “The Essential Saker III” will soon come out (in the course of the summer).
Bottom line, the blog is doing better than ever and so is your community!
What else can I say other than a huge and heartfelt THANK YOU to all of you!
Hugs and cheers to all,
The Saker
May Allah bless you and your family Saker. Thank you for shining the light on the corruption that is plaqing the world over. Thank you to the community too for their views and passion in searching for the truth. Eid mubarak to the whole of humanity. I pray everyday for better days for humanity. God bless.
“Outstanding!”
“Fantastic!”
“Wow!”
“What a talent lineup!”
I am impressed, Saker. Great friends of the Vineyard now dwellers. Great synergy.
Congratulations and welcome to all our friends joining.
Many congratulations.
It seems that Stalkerzone has been off line for some days. Does this mean that it shut down permanently? It had good reportage.
yes, it had. Email them to encourage them to restart it!!
I would be delighted if they did
The Saker
The Saker is the “go to” blog to penetrate the fog of malevolent disinformation.
Heartfelt thanks from a reader.
And an especial appreciation of the work of translators—too often overlooked, especially in the USA, where I think there tends to be a unquestioned assumption that everyone on Earth speaks English and all relevant information is in English. To the extent that the latter is the case, it is because of translators.

I would have chosen a woman God myself, yet translators work.
Welcome guys to The Saker Community and have a good work, a work which is very valuable today. The readers of this blog will appreciate it very very much. Thank You !
Congratulations. Greetings from Serbia. Желим велике успехе !!!
Yes, oh yes!! With the news spewing garbage like Russia abandoning Venezuela and N. Korea executing diplomats and a passing these claims as truth, I believe nothing until checking here.
Saker,
I could do French-> English and English-> French.
But only a few hours a week.
If that could help.
Hello Jean-Marie, if you would like to volunteer to translate things such as articles from French to English, The Saker would be more than happy, since that’s one of the top five languages he’s looking for :) Even if it’s a few hours, that’s fine. If you want to join the translation effort, then you can email our general editorial email for more details: editor@thesaker.is
I could do Dutch > English, Norwegian > English, Indonesian > English. The problem with Dutch and Norwegian is that the two countries where these languages are spoken/written are Empire’s Most Faithful Vassals and, hence, do not produce any relevant analysis worth translation. Nevertheless both vassal states are interesting, Norway because it is literally under USUK occupation (700 US marines and 800 UK marines, several Army Prepositioned Stocks in mountain caves, 52 F35, 5 Poseidons and a couple of subs), while the Netherlands also hosts to APS stocks and US Nukes at Volkel airbase).
For the Indonesian language (Bahasa Indonesia) the case is different. In April incumbent Indonesian President Joko Widodo has renewed his 5 year mandate by winning 55% of the vote in the presidential elections against Prabowo Subianto with 45% of the vote. The latter, being a life long disciple of the Company from Langley and son in law of former President Suharto, is now rallying a mass support movement (Forum Kedaulatan Rakyat or ‘People’s Sovereignty Forum) to contest the outcome of the elections. The FKR accuses President Widodo of electoral fraud and selling out Indonesia to the new OBOR ‘colonizer’, China. It still remains to be seen how this pans out after ‘Lebaran / Idul Fitri’, but one can be sure that the Company is not sitting by idly.
Its been more than 5 years since I know your blog finding out that my thoughts “are not alone”, this submarine in the desert can offer some of its service time to the cause. I’m a native spanish speaker and decently fluent in english.
From this comment IP you could guess that I’m not in a very free-speech-friendly place, so, if you allow me, I would contribute from dedicated parallel accounts/connections (is protonmail still trustworthy?).
Cheers!
Hello Pelantaro, I am Leo from the YouTube Saker Community Translations channel, and I’ve also been watching the blog grow for five years. It’s always great to see more emerging submarines in the desert! Translations from Spanish to English would be a helpful extra hand that The Saker is looking for. And yes, I for example still use Protonmail. If you want to volunteer translating articles or anything else, you can email our general editorial email: editor@thesaker.is
Thanks for your reply Leo, and sorry for my delayed answer. Will contact you when I get my stuff ready (probably on wednesday) so I can participate relaxed.
Brilliant news!
Wishing you all ever widening readership.
The world NEEDS read fact based analysis and to hear TRUTH, nowadays more than ever in this dangerous world.
Congratulations
Mike
FWIW
“The Swiss Propaganda Research [SPR] group is an independent nonprofit organization investigating geopolitical propaganda in international media. Its major articles are available in English language.”
If you look at the visual in this linked article you will see that SPR rates The Saker as (nearly) neutral politically and distant in it’s “relationship to power” (whatever that might mean). The Saker is adjacent in rating to RT, by the way.
This article at Moon of Alabama (a near neighbor of The Saker in the visual) provides direct links to SPR, if you care.
