Okay, I will admit it. I am biased. Not only is Scott my Director of Research, but he also is somebody I care deeply for. And yet, even though I am biased I don’t even have to appeal to my bias to say that I absolutely loved “The Enemy of the State”. Friends, this text is extremely well written. I began reading it late at night (during the day I am simply too busy to read) and I wanted to read just a few pages before going to sleep. No such luck: I could not put the book down! I read it in one shot and I loved every second of it. I won’t discuss the plot or characters, but I will say that the text is powerful, at times hilarious, at times stunning and at times even frightening. What Scott describes in this book is something which very few of us in the West are even remotely aware of. Scott also uses this opportunity to share with us a wonderful illustration of how real Russian women think and behave, especially when threatened. Reading “The Enemy of the State” I remembered the many Russian women I was privileged to meet in my life whom Tatyana, the hero of the story, is such a powerful prototype for.
Enough PR! The book is fantastic, it is written by one of the most dedicated members of our community so I really want to say just one thing: get it ASAP!
Cheers,
The Saker
And where would it be possible to get it ?
Whether we admit it or not, we are all biased, which is why facts are the best starting point. I just received my ebook, and am told a paper copy is coming. If the book is even half as good as this review suggests, it ought to get the Putin Pulitzer Prize, yet to be created.
My dear Dennis,
Not entirely unlike the end of the world, the paperback is not coming.
I would just print it .pdf file out. It’s only 57 pages.
Staple it together or put it in a folder, and you get yourself a real book.
You can even doodle some art on it.
What’s great about .pdf file, you can share it with anyone.
Thanks. I may do that.
However, what do you make of this:
Ebay to me:
“Your order has shipped to [my street address].”
“Estimated delivery: Wed, August 3”
“Shipping service: Economy shipping”
I even have a tracking number.
Is this Jesuit equivocation? Well, as a good Jesuit (like Pope Francis) would say: we will see what we will see. If it never arrives by snail mail, you were right. If it does arrive by snail mail, you were right. Like a Jesuit, you win either way, although you may have your head handed to you, like Thomas More.
On Jesuits…..
“Teologia de la liberacion – ASESINATO de Ellacurria -_CIA_-_Rockefeller_-_entrev “
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDcDmUqCpLc
“(….)..churches, political parties, democracies …. back to the notion of conversion, get converted, i.e. change …. and change seriously, for religious reasons who were religious, or democratic reasons who were democrat….. Ellacuría in his last speech in Barcelona on November 6th, before he was killed on 16th, he said, is beautiful, it is necessary, with all the poor of the world”, he started well, he did not begin with the global banking and armaments industry, not, “with the poor of this world and all people of good will work hard to change and reverse history”. They are very precise words, “reverse history”, i.e., “we go wrong”, ie, the direction of history, not only Palestine, which is a disaster, the history goes wrong…..(…)
(…).I wish there were a symbol that would bring together people where they ask God, or whoever, really, maybe the ancestors….ask God that we overcome selfishness gnawing us all, that we overcome the temptation of sliding increasingly to good living, as the last goal, overcome that, reverse it, and then look at Africa, look at the problems here, as I read, young people, if they marry have to pay for the apartment for 40 years …. look at the suffering reality…..”
Thanks, boss, for your support and understanding.
If I get in trouble for this book, you might be the one who would have to get me out.
Regards

Dear Scott,
But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake. And it shall turn to you for a testimony. Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake. But there shall not an hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls. (Luke 21: 12-19)
This being said, you can count on my total support.
Hugs,
The Saker
For those who would like to know how to buy this book – you have to check the earlier post, when Scott and Saker were thinking they ought to be a little bit practical and supply a link and instruction.
God love ’em, now they’re too busy exulting in the truth of the book to remember the capitalist means to sell it.
That post is here:

and it leads to the checkout counter, here:

I guess I’ll buy the book. It’s not like I don’t have the links ;)
I received the exerpt (PDF) this morning and read it in one sigh, I could not stop. What an insane situation she got into. And how fearless and calm she stayed, unbelievable. Wow, so that is the karakter of the Russian people. I am really very impressed and I highly respect this woman. I read stories of the homeland security and TSA on the USA airports, which are horrible. In Isreal it sounds even worse.
Can not wait to read the full book. Congratulations Scott. I loved it.
Should be a very good contrast head of Human rights foundation Kasparov’s new book…winter is coming and why Vladimer Putin and the enemies of the free world must be stopped, he warns DT is using VP methods and this might be the last free election….duh!
How the heck do these people get these jobs….I posted on cafe re this is the age of psychosis and psychotics,………..
Is this off.?

each time I check this site I get a feeling it is full of people deeply disappointed with their Culture/Country/Nation/State (s) . They put all their hopes for the world future on Russia to remove any responsibility from themselves. Pushing Russia and russian people to fight your battles for you. You have been doing it for centuries. well here is a ‘news flash’ for you – its not going to happen any more. we are now concerned about our own good only. No more saving the world BS. If you haven’t realized it by now, you are terminally hopeless Dreamers. We are also studying you – your cultures and your languages, ‘The West’. And we find you are not worth fighting for. So do yourselves and favor and start thinking how to save your own ‘behinds’. Comrades.
I’m also a Russian, who has never tried vodka.
My book is about a Russian woman and a Russian national character, “Comrade”
I find myself enjoying the comments of both Russian vodka abstainers, and oddly, agreeing with them both simultaneously.
It’s true that too many of us are awed by Russian character and toughness and wishing for them to fight for us. Maybe they’ve been in enough damned fights to pick them very, very carefully.
Russian toughness has given us some time to get our act together before the AZ elites permanently enslave all of us. That’s the way I look at it.
It’s kind of like those that hope for visitors from other regions of the Universe to save our sorry asses. Why should they adopt us wayward children and become responsible for us???. Maybe they have enough of their own challenges to worry about, without taking on ours as well!
Anxious to return home, back to familiar desktop, ditch this quirky lap top, and read the 57 page book. Thanks, Both abstainers.Thanks!
Hi. First, let me state that this is not a complaint.
I by choice do not have a credit card, nor a Paypal account, and I don’t use Facebook.
I appreciate this site and others similar in spirit to this one.
And yet if I wish to participate and comment on Fort Russ, for example, one needs to register a Disqus or Facebook account. To buy Scott’s e-book, which I would happily do, one needs to join Paypal, American Express, etc.
I only wish that there was an alternative to signing up with the corporations of the Hegemon.

“To buy Scott’s e-book, which I would happily do, one needs to join Paypal, American Express, etc.”
Those who can afford it, they buy my books and help me to keep writing by paying some of my bills.
Those who cannot afford it, get it for free.
All you have to do is ask.
