The Essential Saker: from the trenches of the emerging multipolar world

These are some of the most essential articles written by the Saker on his blog. Even though they cover topics ranging from history to politics to religion to military affairs to social issues they are all linked by one common thread: the full-spectrum clash between the Western world and what the Saker calls the Russian civilizational realm. Most Russians especially when addressing a western audience feel compelled to use a diplomatic and non-confrontational language. In contrast Sakers style is informal almost conversational but also direct even blunt. He is fully aware that his views might offend many of his readers but he believes that there is also a bigger audience out there which will appreciate an honest and above all sincere criticism of what the Saker calls the AngloZionist Empire. The careful reader however will notice that the Sakers criticisms are always aimed at a political system and its constituent institutions and supporting ideologies but never at the people nations or ethnicities. In fact the Saker forcefully argues for a multi-cultural multi-ethnic and multi-religious Russia which would be fully integrated in a multi-polar world inspired by the fraternal diversity of the BRICS countries. Underlying the Sakers entire worldview is a categorical rejection of all ideologies and a profound belief that the root of all evil as well as the key to defeating it is always in the realm of spirituality.Gilad Atzmon jazz musician and philosopher: As telling the truth is becoming a nostalgic endeavour its seeking is becoming an heroic adventure.

I read the Saker not only for the facts (that are verified and applied in context) but also for a moral and discipled attitude toward geopolitics. The Saker is not only a good read; it is also a way of looking at the world. Simply put: the Saker is information that is weaponized and hits all the right targets!The Saker community of blogs is the only such international and multi-lingual community of blogs.
