Dear friends,
I just wanted to let you know that I heard from Juan. He is safe, very busy and exhausted. So no SITREPs from him for a while. But the main thing is that all is well with him. I thought that I should let you know.
Kind regards,
The Saker

That’s good to hear. God Bless them all.
Good to hear he is OK.
Juan,
God is with you and the militias. Our prayers are sent for safety and success.
Thank you.
I am also very thankful for the brave and heroic men and women of RT and Ruptly and the other Russian correspondents, cameramen and sound engineers who risk their lives to get the truth and horrors out to the world. They are documenting the criminal behavior of Kiev, the EU and the US.
Bravo and thank you.
God bless the brave Novorossian fighters.
I’m glad also to know he is OK
july 4 will be worse I fear. They always use holidays as distraction.
always
Karin
These men and women are heroes!
Good idea to take a break from time to time if posible.
Take care, Juan. God bless you.
According to Larchmonter445 on journalists and technicians by reporting events in the Ukraine.
They dignify the noble profession of journalism, specifically war journalism, much maligned here in the West.
Bot Tak,
I post you yesterday the link to Petras´s article/interview corrected. I forgot to put my nick and posted like anonymous. It was very late at night here,I felt very sleepy.
We are glad to hear that Juan is OK.
Croat and Russophile
I’ve found a disturbing video dating from early May 2014 showing a couple of Right Sektor thugs hanging a blindfolded pro-Russian man. The murder appears to be authentic. These people are depraved.
Ukraine press are reporting Canada is proposing to give the Ukrain 20 CF-18A fighters, along with a dozen advisors to train and maintain the aircraft.
Un-f*cking-believable – if it is true.
Biden has ordered Poroshenko to reorganize the Ukrainian military by appointing a new defense minister and a top general. I guess progress towards a US-style democracy is too slow for the likes of Biden.
The sound of waves lets us know the rhythm of the Earth beats an unseen drum.
What mushrooms?!
Does anyone know who sponsors/’informs’ dis-info agent P. Martin?
Juan,
So glad to hear you are alright. Our prayers are with you, along with our deepest gratitude, concern and respect. Please (I know this sounds silly, but still…) stay safe!
Yonatan,
Nothing Harper does is unbelievable. I still can’t believe he was legitimately elected.
God bless you Juan and all those brave men (and women) actively opposing EVIL freaks from the West!
RT showed a flash from Verkhovna Rada today with a few voices protesting killing the children in the East, but Porky-shenko wouldn’t allow any critical voices about ukie army. But the people with conscience, even in Kiev, may stop supporting oligarch psychopath’s junta, when the news of atrocities leak out. I hope there will be more of those, who still haven’t sold their conscience for empty promises and the justice and decency will win!
As a Canadian, I’m so ashamed of our zio-leaders…
Excellent article by Paul Craig Roberts sums it up very well:
“By standing down and tolerating Washington’s slaughter of civilians, Putin is becoming complicit in Washington’s crimes against humanity. The longer the slaughter goes on, the more complicit the Russian government becomes. Putin’s alternative is to come to the defense of the Ukrainians who are being attacked. Outside the West, this would establish Putin as a defender of human rights. Inside the West it would make it completely clear to Washington’s European vassals that the consequence of their alignment with Washington is that they will be drawn into war with Russia and, likely, also with China. Europeans have nothing to gain from these wars. Putin has done what he can to avoid conflict. Now he needs to do the right thing, as he did in Georgia and Crimea.”
http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2014/07/03/washingtons-war-crimes-spread-africa-middle-east-ukraine-paul-craig-roberts/
My favorite dialogue from the movie Casablanca (highly relevant now) “And what if you track down these men and kill them, what if you killed all of us? From every corner of Europe, hundreds, thousands would rise up to take our places. Even Nazis can’t kill that fast.”
God speed to all the Juans.
Yonatan, the pattern of proxy wars by the West is that the regime or terror group backed or created by the West is NEVER allowed to run out of war-materials. While Russia dithers, the neo-Nazi Kiev war machine will grow in size and confidence.
The Human defenders of Novorussia are finite. The attackers are effectively infinite, and for all their poor quality in the early stages of the ‘civil war’, time will see the attackers become more and more effective.
The fake truces, ‘peace’-efforts, and ‘diplomacy’ represent the classic “freeze and thaw” tactic of the West. Rather than being an ‘honest’ villain, the West is master at portraying itself as the best that Humanity has ever produced- and beneath the skirts of this deception the elites of the West indulge in the greatest acts of evil imaginable.
Step back from the situation in Ukraine and think what is really happening. East Europeans are once again being trained to kill East Europeans, and the population of Europe is being trained to sit back and accept war-time atrocities against increasing numbers of ordinary citizens in Europe itself.
And yet, at the stroke of a pen, those in power in West Europe could have accepted a 100% peaceful outcome to the situation by allowing Ukraine to split into two new nations, just as they allowed Czechoslovakia to peacefully split into new, independent nations along ethnic lines.
The borders of most European nations are arbitrary, and have changed endlessly over the last 1000+ years. Who would choose war and mass murder over a peaceful solution for yet another border change?
Most wars that ravage mankind are not accidental or inevitable, but are the result of psychopathic butchers reaching positions of supreme power- serial killers who can cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands, rather than just dozens of victims.
Putin thinks he is a brilliant chess player, but he has experienced endless flattery from a number of these ‘serial killers’ in power in the West (like Tony Blair). The crude brutes that compose most of the Neo-cons of the USA exist to mislead people like Putin as to the true nature of the threat posed by the West.
I honestly think Putin disbelieves anyone in real power wants World War 3. Here lies our problem when Humans attempt to stare into the face of pure evil. Pure evil cannot be understood, but it can be fought. But first, you must accept that the appetite of pure evil is literally endless- limited only by what Humanity is prepared to defend.
Dear Juan,
Thank you for the good news we do pray for the best result of the heroes in Novorussia.
Mr.Poroschenko got squeezed a bit for now and let see what his boss will create as a last attempt before the end game will be exposed.
Source Znak.Com close to the leadership of the Ministry of foreign Affairs: in the next 48 hours Russia may start in the Ukraine peacekeeping operation
http://translate.yandex.net/tr-url/ru-en.ru/www.znak.com/moscow/news/2014-07-04/1024886.html
“On Thursday evening the interlocutor Znak.Comclose to the leadership of the foreign Ministry said that not exclude the possibility of the beginning of the peacekeeping operation by Russia on the territory of Eastern Ukraine in the next two days.
“There is such a disposition… the Situation is difficult. Two days ago Petro Poroshenko (President of Ukraine) proposed “freeze” the conflict in the Donetsk and Luhansk region for several months, to militias and the Ukrainian army mutually ceased fire, Russia has not recognized any DND or LNR. Poroshenko this plan is not adopted, every day kill civilians. The peacekeeping operation on the Russian side is ready; if it takes place, several Russian’ll just get in the ring of protection of a large city, to ensure the safety of civilians,” said a source.
On the question why then President Vladimir Putin spoke to the Federation Council with the request to withdraw issued in February permission to use troops of Russia on the territory of Ukraine, the source said that it was needed for negotiations Putin in Austria to demonstrate Poroshenko goodwill.
“The final decision is not accepted, but the situation is very serious”, – said the interlocutor of the edition.”
Godspeed to Juan and all his brethren… holding them in His omnipotent care…
@ Yonatan @ 20:37
99% of what the Ukie “press” publishes are lies.. Of the 1% of truth most of that comes from where they print the day and month.
Its HIGHLY unlikely that Canada will send any NATO weapons at all, let alone GIVE them any and let alone jets……….. More likely is that older Russian Weapons are being bought from lap dog nations and sold to Ukrainians “on credit”.. However I did see at Antiwar.com that Harper The Evil Cypher has recently said he wants to buy 20 all weather fighters from the US…Believe me, at 130 million per plane they aren’t going to risk them for Ukraine.
I don’t know if this has been posted before, but the Ukies must have gone MAD entirely:
Ukraine’s New Interior Minister Promises To Retake Crimea From Russia
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-07-03/ukraines-new-interior-minister-promises-retake-crimea-russia
They seem to repeat Sakashvili’s dumb mistake of hoping for some “US-invasion” ?
No other explanation.
How does that fit together with Poroshenko’s alledged willingness for peace???
Got to prepare the next generation for their role in that brave new ZPC world.

Time is running out for Kiev, now embarked on a disastrous course. Possibly within days or weeks Germany and France will acquiesce to a Russian peacekeeping intervention. Putin will tell them in advance exactly what he’s doing, the US can fuck off, they should not be involved. Russia will guarantee peace and the space for an international peace conference.

I know what you mean. I assume that the Ukies lie through their teeth. But I am also aware that Harper is fully-bought-and-paid-for. I wouldn’t be surprised if the US convinced him this would be a good idea, keeping their hands clean of course. It is suitably stupid and hubristic that I can see them doing just because.
If it does happen, I’m sure that any Ukie pilots wouldn’t last 5 minutes against Russian pilots or the latest Russian ground-air missiles.

“Bot Tak,

Thanks, I saw your link and read the interview. I agreed with most of what Petras said, but I think he underestimates the control the USA and Israel have of the various “Muslim” terrorist forces.
I can immagine when the Ukraian Mama’s get mad because they will have nothing to put into the mouth of their husbands and children / and it is aproaching very fast / they will have no money to pay for the heating and warm water, then the final game will start.
They will use garden forks,shovels, axes and anything what hey will find in their household and they will attack the psychopaths/ yesterday it was a short interview on the Russian TV / just to give them the lesson what kind of misery they have created for these innocent people.
Let’s wait and I’m sure Mama’s will show them how they were fighting during the WWII.
@ Yonatan @ 23:16
That’s sort of the larger point im making. The US is not going to send frontline weapons to Ukraine, either -not unless Russia did something incredibly provocative, like seriously threatening to invade the Baltics or something, which of course isn’t going to happen. Canada wouldn’t send those kinds of weapons unless all of NATO was engaged there. As for the veracity of the Ukie press I am 100% confident they are running a complete media zoo. Its very telling that all of the things the US accuses Russia of being are fully, and completely embodied in their puppet state Ukraine, including the absurd sword rattling press making up ridiculous propaganda lies. Lies intended entirely for the consumption of Ukrainians only. The fact that the stories published in Ukraine are such grotesque lies tells us everything we need to know about “press freedom” in Ukraine. Its on par with “press freedom” in Romania circa 1971.
Fuck these scum. Neutralize their military and withdraw. If the EU or NATO enters, take Novorossiya in its entirety and let’s have a nuclear standoff. Might as well get down to it, no reason any more civilians need to die. I’d prefer to die for my political convictions than to have those country and working people dying on their land, and for Odessa and Kharkiv to live under fascist occupation.
Fuck the USA
What the fuck. The army is all in the east now. July 4 is the perfect date. After the pictures I’ve just seen from yesterday and today, there is no way to accept it. Fuck the US, fuck Merkel, fuck the western media. Time’s up.
On situational understanding in western Ukraine of their criminal war.
http://www.kyivpost.com/content/ukraine/rising-deaths-fury-agony-354594.html
… For weeks Ukrainian forces have bombarded the separatist bastion of Sloviansk in Donetsk Oblast with small arms, mortars and heavy artillery.
In doing so they say they have “liquidated” hundreds of rebel fighters (though dozens is more likely, based on the Kyiv Post’s observations). But the battle here and elsewhere in Ukraine’s two eastern provinces has come at a steep price.
There have been more than 200 civilian casualties, including at least 15 children, in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts. More than 200 Ukrainian servicemen have also been killed.
Tens of thousands have been displaced. Speaking with several of them in nearby Sviatohirsk, where about 15,000 have fled, no one voiced support for the government’s military campaign, even those who said they do not approve of the Kremlin-backed separatists. Most of them, however, admitted that they were leaning toward the insurgents’ side, raising the question of how well Ukrainian forces would be received in the east. …
Moreover, Koval’s comments conflict with what the Kyiv Post has seen over the course of several weeks in eastern Ukraine and what a video released on July 2 by Ukraine’s Military TV purports to show: heavy weapons are being fired in the direction of residential areas. …
———————–
Surprisingly honest appraisal in the top of the line article on the website Kyivpost.
Russia should just do what needs to be done in Ukraine and hold the position until an international solution is developed. There’s no other way, there is no credible counterparty to deal with, and Germany dithers while innocents die, now in the hundreds per day.
Let’s move on with it, it will save lives, it may cost a few decades of political bullshit but the EU and the US are on their way out anyway.
There’s no way that further international political support for Russia can develop fast enough to prevent a further catastrophe with much wider implications for Europe.
Therefore, the only considerations can now be strictly military and humanitarian ones.
Let’s start working together for peace in Ukraine.
Dear Juan,
Praise be to the Lord my rock,
who trains my hands for war,
my fingers for battle.

I pray you guys stay well! May the Lord protect you in this time of trouble and bring you victory and peace. Blessings
