techriotIt’s a pity, but it’s understandable that the Saker is ending his very valuable blog given that #Andrei understands the difficult position he’s likely to be in once #WWIII goes hot much better than most. Anyone who followed the site had a much better idea of what was happening in #Ukraine, and why it was happening, than everyone getting their news from the various organs of the #mainstream #media.
- First, I will shut down the blog no later than at the end of February.
- Second, for a host of reasons, I cannot transfer the blog to any one person or group of trusted people. This sounds like a great idea until you look at tons of details and it becomes an impossible one.
- Third, yes, I would like to keep the entire archive of the blog available somewhere on the Internet.
- Everything I posted on the blog was licensed under the Creative Commons CC-BY-SA 4.0 International license (creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0). Which means that ANYBODY can copy and post and even modify ANYTHING I have ever posted. There is no need to ask for permission or get my approval or anything like that.
- In practical terms this means this: if you can grab it all (or parts) and reposted it elsewhere, anywhere, you will have my eternal gratitude.
- Furthermore, I personally would prefer that the archive be available on as many sites as possible (for obvious redundancy reasons). I would therefore not agree to grant anybody “exclusive rights” or anything like that.
- Please notice that while I never monetized the blog, you are not under any obligation to follow my example, but only as long as you don’t claim any exclusive copywrong “rights” or object on anybody else doing the same thing (or not).
I very much appreciate the landmark work that Andrei has done in effectively chronicling the start of World War III since its inception in 2014, and I suspect future historians will find it extremely useful and informative as well. I wish him well in his future endeavors.
And I would encourage the autists and archivists who read this site to download, archive, and publish mirrors of the #Saker’s site for future reference. Regardless of whether the #future unfolds in the general direction that we envisage or not, they will be an important #record of recent #historical #events.
