Dear friends,
I have learned that several anti-Empire websites have been hit by strong and sustained DDoS attacks including Craig Murray (https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2018/03/massive-attack-on-this-blog/) and, apparently, the the Russian journal New Eastern Outlook which was knocked off line by a big hacking attack and is still down Saturday. They have been attacked multiple times the past 2 months and then a final attack succeeded in shutting them down. They are trying to get it back up.

We might be next.

Should that happen, I ask you to write down the URL to the old, blogspot, domain name I used originally:

https://vineyardsaker.blogspot.com/

Second, please write down these email addresses to contact me if needed: (please use them in the following order)
vineyardsaker@gmail.com
vineyardsaker@mail.ru
vineyardsaker@yandex.com

(if and when needed, I will provide other contact information)
These are truly crazy and extremely dangerous times and the Empire is already engaged in all sorts of dirty but (semi)-legal tricks (search engine tampering, YouTube channel defunding, placing silly labels like “RT is funded in whole or in part by the Russian government“, etc.).  They are going berserk because they are losing the war for hearts and minds and they know that, hence all the crazy nonsense à la “Skripal” false flag.  The fact that they are losing makes them not less, but much more, dangerous.
These are, objectively, frightening times.  But don’t let that discourage you.  Remember these words of Christ: (Matt 10:28)
“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell“.
or these words of Saint Paul: (Eph. 6:12)
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
or these beautiful words from the Qu’ran (Surah Al-Anfal 8:30):
“Those who disbelieved plotted against you to restrain you or kill you or evict you. But they plan, and God plans. And God is the best of planners“.
and if you are not religious, then remember these words from the Soviet Minister of Foreign Affairs spoken on the 22 June 1941, the last time a “united Europe” attacked Russia:
“Ours is a righteous cause. The enemy shall be defeated. Victory will be ours”
But yes, it is going to get worse, much worse, before it gets better.
So be ready for the fight.
Hugs and cheers,
The Saker
