TVASSF (especially when ‘boosted’.)In the words of Sasha Latypova – ‘What does the DoD have to do with pregnant civilians and children?’ meaning the only actual clinical trials requested to be accurately performed (GOP compliant) by the manufacturer -(Pfizer and Moderna etc) were those on toxicology and reproductive harms. Those with the highest harms were chosen.

“..If Assange is successfully extradited and convicted, it will take about ten minutes for it to happen again…”
Okay so then they will definitely convict then to get the message through loud and clear.All You Need Is Love
Sadly that is what the woke leftist people think, the post-modern “the world is in my mind” people. John eventually realised that you also need body guards, but by then it was too late and he died early, leaving the Yoko Ono curse on the world. I guess you had to be stupid to attract that many teenagers, and in those days teenagers were like today’s six year olds. What he should have sung is “All you need is sacrifice”, but it doesn’t really have the same candyfloss flavour.

We can’t have that here. The U.S. would never bear having standards.
“Coup Brutally Crushed” – media elsewhere.
Uh, whut the whut? Not a shot was fired. Anywhere. You “Crush” by showing up, talking, then consigning your men peacefully to chain of command with no repercussions? I’ll say it again: “Words have Meanings”. These people are all psychotic, break with any and all reality. #AntiLogos. THe only enemy is Truth. Rebellion to #Logos, God.
Map: absolutely. But since it doesn’t fool our NATO war rooms, who the #$% is this puppet show for? I have an idea: IF Moscow just mobilized 100,000 men and marched them to the Belarus border over Kiev, it would have given the Western Media the opportunity to alarm about “The Russians are coming! They’re going to take Paris!!! We need to Duke’m Nuke’m NOW!!!” Like Trump, Russia has to look weak and stupid to get strong (and very normal, legal) things done.
So the scam is ON the papers. Because again, ain’t no one in chain of command who’d be fooled for a second, not ‘til you get up to Nuland and Blinken who are glue-sniffing morons with rabid confirmation bias. How do they keep the NATO generals from TELLING the papers to knock it off, you’re off-narrative? Because they don’t know what’s going on it’s so fast, AND, more likely, because yes, they paid for a coup and were holding backing waiting to see if it would help. Everyone in Russia (power) knew this. It must have been hilarious to open champagne and cigars in that “negotiation.”
“Fighter Jet Cuts”
That’s because the Federal level is not supposed to BE the taxing center of anything. All those programs are supposed to happen at the State, City, and Local level. The problem is stealing the money in the first place and sending it to the 10 richest zip codes, so that we may beg to get a little of it back. “Please Sir…” No. You get NO MONEY to begin with. We need it to run food programs in Chicago. Oh. Wait. Is that the Constitution? That almost every g– d— thing the Federal Government does is totally, completely illegal under 10A? Yeah.
“US Intelligence Knew Of Wagner Plot Days In Advance, Briefed Congress (ZH)
Yup, U.S. intelligence knew, and it was so utterly not a secret that they told Congress, of whom they generally tell nothing. (Congress will 100% always leak it and/or sell it). But Russia had no idea. Here’s an idea: wouldn’t Joe SELL this intel to the FSB for one Hunter Biden painting?
Nope, not in our cartoon movie world. The baddie bads are evilly evil and like all Stormtroopers can never hit anything. That’s their job! Their job, in my rich kid play fantasy, is to LOSE. What else do I pay them for? Pew Pew.
“Biden said during a speech in California that he believed the threat of Russian leader Vladimir Putin using tactical nuclear weapons was real.”
Since they’re always decades behind, (It’s the glue talking) WHY would they use a tactical nuke, ever? They have a hypersonic that does the same thing, doesn’t cross psychological thresholds, and they’ve already used regularly. Too arrogant to ask and too ignorant to know they should.
“These people are under the foolish belief that a man with 6,000 nuclear weapons at this control will back off and let them put ours 5 minutes away.”
None of them can stop and state the obvious: they WANT the war. They want the NUCLEAR war. They WANT the deaths of 6 Billion people. They publish this near-daily, then went out and pushed Green Initiatives such as the end to all farming, that demonstrate it in real, tangible, local time. For decades. Whole nations like Sri Lanka have been shattered. Can anything get through? They SAID they want this. Do you think they are lying?
“detailing the explosive controversy between history’s most famous children’s author and liberal progressive activists.”
Rowling herself is a liberal progressive activist. Waaaaaaaay far out there. Way ultra-uber gay rights. Like 1% radical weirdo, banned-everywhere from any time previous to 2010. The most progressive kid’s author ever, in 100 years with 100% gay sex marriage main characters. THAT’S NOT ENOUGH.
SUBMIT OR DIE. You’re Next. This is Robespierre, or thankfully so far Robespierre lite, for the Aquarian Age, a public murder only in virtual space.
““If Hunter Biden was caught not putting the foreign payments on his U.S. tax returns as income, and we know Joe Biden received the same payments, well, did Joe Biden list his portion on his income tax returns?”:”
Trick question: no one cares. Obviously. Not the media, the government, judges, policemen, the army, the Democratic base, no one. I’m a little more worried about Hunter having Child Porn on his laptop, and not even for that but because HE HIRED THE CHILDREN and used them himself.
Anyone? Police? College Professors? Middle School teachers? Congress? Anyone? HOW DARE YOU be mean and demand justice for a rich dude who has sex with children on camera? What are you MAGA or something? Anti-child sex bigot? Nope, but I’ll still arrest you if you link to it to look at it. KNOWING about the crime is the real crime. Know your place.
Hey, quick question: is Bribery one of the crimes listed in the Constitution as Impeachable? For jail time? As Treason? Asking for a guy I know. And bought for a mere $10,000, the price of a used Toyota with 160k.

“Jealousy, that monster, impairs one’s thinking.”
This is a petty approach unworthy of “Man.” Not that I don’t believe it, but if you still have that, you’re just not a man yet. You’re not a boy, you’re just a critical failure that needs to rise to somewhere near your potential.
“Least Manly Culture in 10,000 Years Warns on Dangers Toxic Masculity.” –BBee.This is of course why you erase men, starting with attacking and crippling all the boys. Which is done so long, and the suicide rates are so high, that the very THOUGHT of reversing their non-stop murders and abuse is ITSELF considered a crime. Yummy yummy. Mission accomplished.
Still not enough, so we amputated them. What will history say about you?
Anyway, Taibbi, in a terrible, immoral, illogical, manless culture DID ultimately rise to the level of the minimum. But is unfortunately still standing very much alone.
“”We’re now facing a situation where a huge number of very powerful organisations and elites are calling for policies that are basically a suicide pact. Basically a death wish…”
Yes. Very serious. However, we don’t want to forget we don’t want a suicide pact with the environment and planet either. Pave Less. Grow More. No 100,000 condos around Amsterdam. No extinction of cows in Ireland. “Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without.” Anti-centralization of renewable power. Anti-purchase of new cars, esp lithium-mined ones.

I’m glad the Russians are trolling the Germans by offering bounties to their soldiers on their Leopard Tard Tanks.
Killing a German tank with an Iron Cross on it in 2023 is worth a bonus.
Humiliating the German Girlie Man Tank this way is fabulous

Presenting the soldier with the bounty is Aleksandr Karelin
Karelin competed in Greco-Roman wrestling, representing the Soviet Union and Russia between 1987 and 2000. Nicknamed the “Russian Bear”, “Russian King Kong” and “Alexander the Great” and is widely considered to be the greatest and most dominant Greco-Roman wrestler of all timewinning gold medals at the 1988, 1992 and 1996 Olympic Games

“The Committee is concerned by the complicated, suspicious network of over 20 companies we have identified the Bidens and their associates used to enrich themselves,” Comer said. “Most of these companies were Limited Liability Companies formed DURING Joe Biden’s Vice Presidency.”
———–On 31 May 2023, the Institute for the Study of War reported that Kadyrov’s forces were likely replacing the role of Wagner PMC as Russia’s main shock troops in the Donbas after Wagner disengaged from the front line after the capture of Bakhmut earlier in the month. Kadyrov stated that his forces, including “Akhmat” Special Forces and the “Sever-Akhmat” Special Purpose Regiment had been given a directive to “active combat activities” in Donetsk Oblast.[24]

Ramzan Kadyrov, the Head of the Chechen Republic, appears to have received orders from the Russian military command to initiate offensive operations in Ukraine. This new development follows the withdrawal of the Wagner Group’s forces from Bakhmut, as the Institute for Study of War noted in its daily report.

———MSM, most often, spews the darnedest things, … just an example:
For a time, it appeared that a teetering autocrat, Russia’s military and rival militia chiefs might end up in a civil war for control of a nation with a vast nuclear arsenal. Such instability and internal strife in Russia would send geopolitical shockwaves across the globe.
The West truly doesn’t have a side in the internal strife that erupted this weekend. This was a showdown between Prigozhin – whose men are accused of brutal human rights abuses in Ukraine, Syria and Africa – and Putin, who has revived World War II-style horror in Europe, who flouted international law by invading a sovereign neighbor and who faces an arrest warrant for alleged war crimes. Prigozhin also has been no friend to the US – he has admitted to interfering in American elections and pledged to do so again.
The West must now consider the possibility of a Russian political collapse

Oxymoron, thanks for the Sasha Latypova and Dr. Malik video on Rumble.
There was a time up until the 1980’s or 90’s I think when people could question vaccines and new vaccine safety. After the US PREP Act passed it became impossible to hold pharma accountable. Dr. Mike Yeadon makes a comment on the Rumble site as follows:Dr. Mike Yeadon
I deduced recently that there might be a really solid reason why you’ve never been able to question vaccines.
No other category of product of the pharmaceutical industry is protected in this way where no questioning is permitted.
I tentatively propose that vaccines are a protected category for a horrifying reason.
1. They’re a fake category of healthcare intervention. They actually don’t work as described at all. They’re created over the last few decades especially (though they’re much older than most people think) so that when you provide the prompt “vaccine”, the typical person responds with the words “safe and effective”. Why would this matter?
2. Evil perpetrators have ALWAYS intended to use “vaccines” to depopulate the world.
That’s what I think.
The more that events unfold, horrifyingly, the more convinced of this tentative hypothesis I become.
I often say at this point, if you follow my logic and I’m wrong, the worst that’ll happen is you might get laughed at. If you ignore what I’m saying and I’m right, you’ll lose your freedom and probably your life.
It’s time to decide whether you’re going to make the slightest attempt to save yourself or simply give in to the diabolical plans of the perpetrators.
Please join me in standing up for & with humanity.
Best wishes
Mike“All you need is Love”. I’m gonna stand by it.
LOVE is sacrifice – in action.
“Love” without sacrifice is selfish, therefore not Love.
LOVE to Lovers.
Isn’t saying “All you need is sacrifice”, just another way of saying that we should submit our wills to “the greater good” with the specifics of “the greater good” being defined by a different rubric than the covidiots?
I watched Plandemic 3. It contained a lot of valuable, cogent material. I disagreed with the way it framed the problem as “individualism” vs. “collectivism.” Every human society has elements of both individualism and collectivism in varying degrees. Neither concept is wholly evil nor purely beneficent. For me, the problem explored by Plandemic 3 was a small cabal manipulating the rest of humanity in order to serve the narrow interests of that cabal. Humanity can be manipulated by various means, including by appeals to collectivism and appeals to individualism.
I cherish my independence as an adult. I also recognize that for the past 11 years, ever since my ex abandoned his moral duty to provide for the material well-being of our children and I had to shoulder that role disproportionately, that I could not do it alone. I have had to accept assistance from family, friends, church, and state. It is a human reality that we are social creatures and need each other. That need means that it is logical to consider the needs and desires of others, not just ourselves. This leads to sacrifice. This impulse can also be subverted to induce foolish things…like permitting oneself to be injected with experimental substances. Yet, just because the impulse to follow a course of action for the benefit of others exists, and because that impulse can be be manipulated, does not mean that the impulse is evil or wrong — in the right context, it is one of the things that binds healthy human families and societies together.

That’s because the Federal level is not supposed to BE the taxing center of anything. All those programs are supposed to happen at the State, City, and Local level.
Yup. The feds aren’t supposed to control social programs. The correct Fed role would be an entity to which an appeal may be addressed should a state be administering a program in a manner that violates Constitutional protections.Humankind is waking up to the inescapable and obvious fact that the tangible world, and perhaps the intangible planes of existence which we surmise and verify do exist above it, is a balancing act between a host of dichotomies such as positive/negative, true/false, good/bad/, “God”/”Satan”, individual/collective, and so on.
Closer inspection of those dichotomies reveals that they are not actually linear in nature, but are instead more cyclical in description. Spiralular would probably be a better way to say it. We vacillate and balance and move between the opposing values (collective vs individual, as an example) recognizing that BOTH are necessary in order for life to exist at all, but that one of the two is much MUCH more valuable than its polar opposite. We all know that feeling proud and good is a lot better than feeling horribly ashamed.
Perfect good, perfect truth, or even perfect awareness would all be marvelous, of course, but to achieve any of them COMPLETELY (as in absolutely 100%) would require, and indeed would be, the state of Godhead.
That state of being probably won’t happen for any of us human or quasi-human beings tomorrow. In the meantime we have only the responsibility to exercise our free will in striving for those things that are in the right direction. In other words, to voluntarily trying to know and achieve good and truth and awareness.
The intangible collective known as Evil or Satan or by any of its myriad of names, host of other names is as “real” as any other identity. It is, of course, artificial, but so is any and every other identity as well. It is the collective total of the slightly less than intelligent free will choice to go the OTHER direction, as an act and exercise of defiance to external control, so as to avoid the so-called “enslavement” of self to God. Silly Satan. What an idiot. But he’ll eventually figure it out because what else could intelligent awareness possibly do?
Imagine a Universe in which every identity, freely created by God, is striving toward the same wonderful thing (perfect intelligent awareness) , and has learned the ropes of both how to do it and how to avoid the pitfalls.
Nice goal. Won’t happen tomorrow. In the meantime we have a lot of ropes to learn and many pits to step around. And I’ll say one more thing about that in total humility, it’s got me as busy as a one-egged man in an ass kicking contest, just to not slide backwards.
We had a busy family-helping-family weekend, driving to Dallas to pick up our older son at the airport after 2 weeks of company work (Engineer) in Japan, and to get a U-Haul and move him to a different apartment, with the help of younger-son-also-engineer, then we drove back. I got an hour online Saturday afternoon to updateon the “Prigozhin Mutiny”, and I note the red arrows that Ilargi has twice posted now.
Prigozhin has no charges against him, and Wagner fighters also don’t seem to be charged.
I see today that we are mostly of the same mind, seeing the Russians have flushed out sometraitors, are consolidating forces in the power structure, and are presuably plugging the leaks that Jack Teixeira revealed.
Jack Teixeira went to court Friday. News blackout about that.
The defense has proven that he was fed information, warned 2-3 times in 2022 to “stop looking at intelligence secrets”, and so on.Congruent take on that fighter jet “cuts” image above.
Despite of non-admitting by some visitors of the blog, this is a logical manifestation of the system where “maximum profit” is declared as one and only meaning of someone’s existence” and allowed to flourish.

Putin suggested that the Wagner fighters sign a contract with the Ministry of Defense, return home or go to Belarus.

2 minutes.Putin’s address to the Russians after the rebellion of Prigozhin and Wagner PMC. Full text, video
“Dear friends! Today I once again appeal to all citizens of Russia. Thank you for your endurance, unity and patriotism. This civic solidarity has shown that any blackmail, attempts to arrange internal unrest are doomed to failure.
I repeat, the highest consolidation of society, executive and legislative power at all levels was shown. A firm, unambiguous position in support of the constitutional order was taken by public organizations, religious denominations, leading political parties, in fact, the entire Russian society. Everyone was united and rallied by the main thing – responsibility for the fate of the Fatherland.
I emphasize that from the very beginning of the events, all the necessary decisions were immediately taken to neutralize the threat that had arisen, to protect the constitutional order, the life and security of our citizens.
An armed rebellion would have been suppressed in any case. The organizers of the rebellion, despite the loss of adequacy, could not fail to understand this. They all understood, including that they went to criminal acts, to split and weaken the country, which is now confronting a colossal external threat, unprecedented pressure from outside. When at the front with the words “not a step back!” our comrades are dying.
However, the organizers of the rebellion, having betrayed their country, their people, betrayed those who were drawn into the crime. They lied to them, pushed them to death, under fire, to shoot their own.
It was precisely this outcome – fratricide – that the enemies of Russia wanted: neo-Nazis in Kyiv, and their Western patrons, and all sorts of national traitors. They wanted Russian soldiers to kill each other, so that military personnel and civilians would die, so that in the end Russia would lose, and our society would split, choke in bloody civil strife.
They rubbed their hands, dreaming of taking revenge for their failures at the front and during the so-called counteroffensive, but they miscalculated.
I thank all our military personnel, law enforcement officers, special services who stood in the way of the rebels, remained faithful to their duty, oath and their people. The courage and self-sacrifice of the fallen heroes-pilots saved Russia from tragic devastating consequences.
At the same time, we knew and we know that the overwhelming majority of the fighters and commanders of the Wagner group are also Russian patriots, devoted to their people and state. They proved it with their courage on the battlefield, liberating the Donbass and Novorossiya. They tried to use them in the dark against their brothers in arms, with whom they fought together for the sake of the country and its future.
Therefore, from the very beginning of the events, on my direct instructions, steps were taken to avoid a lot of bloodshed. This took time, including to give those who made a mistake a chance to think again, to understand that their actions are resolutely rejected by society, and to what tragic, destructive consequences for Russia, for our state, the adventure into which they were dragged leads.
I thank those soldiers and commanders of the Wagner group who made the only right decision – they did not go to fratricidal bloodshed, they stopped at the last line.
Today you have the opportunity to continue serving Russia by entering into a contract with the Ministry of Defense or other law enforcement agencies, or to return to your family and friends. Anyone who wants to can go to Belarus. The promise I made will be fulfilled. I repeat, the choice is yours, but I am sure it will be the choice of Russian soldiers who have realized their tragic mistake.
I am grateful to President of Belarus Alexander Grigoryevich Lukashenko for his efforts and contribution to the peaceful resolution of the situation.
But I repeat, it was the patriotic spirit of the citizens, the consolidation of the entire Russian society that played a decisive role these days. This support allowed us to overcome the most difficult trials for our Motherland together.
Thank you for that. Thank you.”

Spy vs Spy https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/spy-vs-spy
What kind of a “mutiny” is managed by allowing mutinous troops and leaders to join the regular army or move to the allied country next door without formal charges?
Trick question, right? It’s not how any country handles mutiny. The traditional management is either bullet or noose, so it might have been a trick mutiny, right?
(Jenny and I had a busy weekend driving to Dallas and back to pick up our older son from his first (engineering) work trip to Japan, then helping him move, as did his brother. We got all of the large items moved and a lot of the other items, too. I have been catching up.)It’s easy to see this now that the facts are present, but it was not possible to know what was happening Saturday morning. There were charges brought by Vlademir Putin about the mutiny, but they named no names. We all assumed that they pointed towards Prigozhin and Wagner, but we had known for months that the Russian military was quite compromised since the Defense Department leaks of Airman Jack Teixeira, which showed detailed knowledge of the internal workings of the Russian military. They were vague and grainy about anything going on in Ukraine. They were fed to Jack, who was sternly told 2-3 times in 2022 to “stop looking at intelligence unrelated to your job”, as he kept doing so and reporting it to his private-chat buddies.
Jack was a leak who was being fed certain classified information, so that others (Russia) would see it, while not knowing that they were being fed selected information. This information would worry them about traitors in their ranks at high levels. How could they identify traitors and flush them out?
I was suspicious of Prigozhin loudly and emotionally calling the heads of the Russian military “traitors” for months on TV. How could that be allowed, even if his forces were managing the Bakhmut-meat-grinder stoically, and taking high losses? Was this part of an operation to flush out traitors with a decoy?
In recent days Prigozhin made statements that might have been scripted, about Ukraine causing much higher Russian casualties, as his actions reached a crescendo, taking the Russian military command headquarters near the 3 way border of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, then marching a column of men north to Moscow with heavy military armor. At the same time, Saturday, he was talking with BelarussianPresident Lukashenko, “negotiating amnesty for his men and himself”. Russians at all levels were convinced this was real, and barricaded the road to Moscow, removing Wagner recruiting ads from Russian billboards.
There were numerous calls for Prigozhin’s execution from all levels of Russian society and the military. There were reports of Russian army attacks on Wagner forces, and of Wagner forces shooting down Russian helicopters. There were videos, but those videos were never substantiated as being what was reported, and there have been denials of these fraternal killings. President Putin made it very clear that Russian fraternal killings served the west and harmed Russia.
As things stand today there are no charges against Prigozhin or his men. Many Russian military forces seem to have moved North and west, to striking range of Kyiv, across the Belarusian border, and the world is split between believing that Prigozhin was serious, and believing that Prigozhin was playing a carefully crafted role to unify and purify Russian military and civilian leadership, while flushing out traitors.
I think it was a counter-scam against the west. MI-6 was supposedly running the western coup-plot. Prigozhin played along. At some point other coup-participants would be activated, and they could be identified by their actions, or by the intercept of messages to them with orders. If this is correct, we will see reshuffling in the Russian halls of power, and some elites losing power, and probably some holdings.Simplicus has this (and so much more):
In the background of all this, the Lukashenko negotiations were being carried out and they ended up reaching an agreement. At the time of this writing there are rumors that Shoigu (and possibly Gerasimov) are in fact getting the axe, but this could be completely fake. For instance:
A source close to PMC Wagner: In addition to the resignation of Shoigu, it is also planned to change a number of FSB generals, including the head of the FSB for Moscow and the Moscow Region Alexei Dorofeev, today the Moscow defense system passed a stress test in case of a sudden invasion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the direction of Moscow, none of the heads of regional The UFSB, including the capital, did not pass this test, and if Prigozhin had not turned around, then shedding blood, as he puts it, he would have entered Moscow. Further, with such a leaky defense system, the war with Ukraine cannot be continued, now there will be serious reshuffles, both in the Ministry of Defense and in the FSB.
In fact, some are theorizing that the entire operation was to root out traitors in Moscow.
https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/prigozhins-siege-ends-postmortemJohn Helmer in Russia had this Saturday evening:
Without the public support of any political figure in Russia, military or police unit, regional governor, or the officers of his Wagner group, Yevgeny Prigozhin and his thousand rank-and-filers have agreed to return to their base camps on terms negotiated late on Saturday afternoon between Prigozhin and Alexander Lukashenko, the Belarus President.
The one-armed rebellion has failed with recriminations, immunity from prosecution, and almost no bloodshed.
..Before the radio broadcast began, Putin made his 5 minute, 34 second speech to the country at 10 am. Unusually, he addressed the camera on his feet. Read the speech in full here.
There have been no personal statements from either Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu or chief of the General Staff, General Valery Gerasimov, the targets of Prigozhin’s public attacks...
During the hours of the rebellion on Friday and Saturday, along the line of contact in the Ukraine there appears to have been no breakthrough by Ukrainian forces. Instead, the Russian Defense Ministry has reported: “Tonight, the Russian Aerospace Forces launched a group strike with high-precision long-range weapons at the centres of radio intelligence and aviation equipment of the Ukrainian Air Forces at the Kanatovo airfields in the Kirovograd region, as well as the Dnipro. All assigned objects are hit. The target of the strike has been achieved.”
“In addition, on June 23, in response to a strike on a road bridge across the Chongar Strait, a warehouse with Storm Shadow cruise missiles was destroyed at a Ukrainian airbase near the settlement of Starokonstantinov in the Khmelnitsky region. During the day, the armed forces of Ukraine continued unsuccessful attempts of offensive actions in the South Donetsk, Zaporozhye, Donetsk and Krasno-Limansk directions.”
A total of 515 Ukrainian forces were reported killed in action. French Caesar howitzer and US M-777 howitzer units were reported hit.FROM PUGACHEV TO LEBED – THE MUZHIK REBELLION FIZZLES OUT WITHOUT BLOODSHED, PRIGOZHIN TO EXILE
Aleks at Black Mountain Analysis (Serbia) has this: United Russia summation:
The news came out that a deal has been reached between Prigozhin and President Lukashenko of Belarus. I do not want to speculate too much about that deal. Yes, there are circulating suggestions what the detail entails. But we can be sure, whatever information reaches the surface, it is only for the public. We will need to wait some time (days/weeks) to see the impact on the ground.
Bottom line is: Prigozhin goes to exile to Belarus with some of the Wagner fighters. Most Wagner fighters will be disarmed, interrogated and if they did not commit any major crime, incorporated into the Russian army. The march on Moscow is over.

RUSSIA’S ACADEMY AWARD WINNING PERFORMANCE FOR BEST COUP, PRIGOZHIN SCORES BEST ACTOR
It appears that the roots of the narrative that Prigozhin was going to betray Russia starts in 2022. Someone with ties to Western intelligence had a relationship with Prigozhin and began sounding him out about collaborating with the West. Prigozhin let his Russian intel bosses know about the pitch and the Russians decided to build an op that would present Prigozhin as a disgruntled patriot, boiling in anger at the incompetence of Russian leaders. The Russians fed this by letting Prigozhin launch vicious verbal attacks on Shoigu and Gerasimov and, if we are to believe the Jack Teixeira discord leaks, even passed intel on the locations of Russian troops to his intel handler.
Here is the interesting part of this hypothesis — who made the decision to launch Prigozhin? A credible argument can be made that the Prigozhin’s Western handlers decided that Friday was the day and ordered him into action. But I think this was stage managed in the Kremlin. Putin and his intel chiefs knew what the West was trying to foment in Russia and realized that Ukraine and NATO were reeling from their feckless counter offensive and its attendant massive losses in men and materiel. Why not use the coup attempt as a good cover story for the mass movement of troops all along the line between Moscow and Rostov on Don?Russia’s Academy Award Winning Performance For Best Coup, Prigozhin Scores Best Actor
John Helmer has this about Jack Teixeira’s case, which started Friday, but there are no reports. Thanks Christine.
Jack Teixeira (lead image, left), the US Air Force national guardsman arrested on espionage allegations in April, is scheduled to appear in a Boston federal court for his arraignment on the prosecution’s charges this Wednesday, June 21.
Six counts were listed in the grand jury indictment filed in court on June 15. The 10-page paper reveals new evidence contradicting the case against Teixeira which has been published in the mainstream media based on official government leaks to the Bellingcat propaganda organization and the New York Times, which are working together against Teixeira and against the intelligence disclosures attributed to him.
The new court evidence is now pointing to the likelihood that Teixeira’s access to highly classified documents prepared by the Joint Chiefs of Staff (lead image, right) at the end of February this year had been facilitated for him by senior US Air Force (USAF) officials.
If provable, Teixeira will plead not guilty and his lawyers will prepare the defence case of entrapment. If embarrassing to the Pentagon and the Justice Department, Teixeira may be offered a plea bargain of guilty in exchange for no trial of the evidence and a reduced jail sentence. The section of the Espionage Act which is the basis of Teixeira’s prosecution, 18 United States Code Section 793(e ), provides ten years in prison and a fine of $250,000 for conviction on each count. The 21-year old is facing the equivalent of a life sentence.AS THE PENTAGON PAPERS PROVE TRUER BY THE DAY, AIRMAN FIRST CLASS JACK TEIXEIRA ENTERS A PLEA
Big Serge has a late day synthesis: Russo-Ukrainian War: The Wagner Uprising , Yevgeny Prigozhin’s Wild Ride
The events of the past weekend (June 23 – 25, 2023) were so surreal and phantasmagorical that they militate against narration and defy description. On Friday, the infamous Wagner Group launched what appeared to be a genuine armed insurrection against the Russian state. They occupied portions of Rostov on Don – a city of over 1 million people, regional capital, and headquarters of Russia’s Southern Military District – before setting off in an armed column towards Moscow. This column – replete with heavy military equipment including air defense systems – came within a few hundred miles of the capital – virtually unmolested by Russian state forces – before abruptly stopping, announcing that a deal had been brokered with the aid of Belorussian President Aleksandr “Uncle Sasha” Lukashenko, turning around, and heading back to Wagner bases in the Ukrainian theater...
..It sounds weird, of course. You’ve heard of gunboat diplomacy – now we get to see tank-based contract negotiations. Yet it is clear that the dispute over Wagner’s independence and status vis a vis Russian military institutions was at the heart of this. Earlier this month, Prigozhin announced his intention to disobey a presidential order that required his fighters to sign MoD contracts by July 1.
Prigozhin’s statement this morning (Monday, June 26), however, was extremely instructive. It focused almost exclusively on his central grievance: Wagner was going to be absorbed into the institutional military. He doesn’t take this to its conclusion and note that this would nationalize his highly profitable business, but his comments leave no doubt as to his motivation. Here are a few key points that he makes:
Wagner did not want to sign contracts with the Ministry of Defense
Absorption into the MoD would mean the end of Wagner: “This unit was supposed to cease its existence on July 1.”
“The goal of our campaign was to prevent the destruction of Wagner Group.”
But what did Prigozhin think would happen? What was his optimistic scenario? Likely, he hoped that general anti-bureaucratic and anti-corruption sentiments, combined with Wagner’s popularity and fame, would lead to an upswell of support for the group which would put the government in a position to acquiesce to Wagner’s independence.
It was a bold decision. Facing institutional absorption, Prigozhin gambled on a measured destabilization campaign that would rock the country just enough to spook Putin into cutting him a deal. Prigozhin might have convinced himself that this was a clever and decisive roll of the dice that could turn things in his favor. I rather think that they were not playing dice at all. They were playing cards, and Prigozhin had nothing in his hand…
..Russia handled the Wagner uprising extremely well, and its management of the crisis points to a high degree of state stability.
Now, what I am not saying is that the uprising was good for Russia. It was clearly a net-negative in several ways. Russian aircraft were shot down by Wagner and Russian pilots were killed. Prigozhin was then allowed to walk away after causing these deaths – a stain on the government. There was widespread confusion which does nothing good for morale, and operations in the Southern Military District were disrupted by Wagner’s occupation of Rostov.
https://bigserge.substack.com/p/russo-ukrainian-war-the-wagner-uprising Gilbert Doctorow reports that discussions in Russian media continue to take this mutiny in dead-earnest:
For these reasons, Simonyan said, such a possibility of armed conflict on the home front had to be avoided at all costs. And to those who object that the terms of the settlement violate the legal norms of the Russian Federation, her answer is that laws are not God-given but are written by men to regulate relations and maintain order in the country. The legislators cannot foresee extraordinary circumstances wherein strict observance of legal norms would have exactly the opposite effect and cause complete disorder and chaos. Therefore the settlement of the crisis as it turned out deserves our support.
A diametrically opposite opinion, also very well argued, was made by Lieutenant General in retirement and State Duma member Andrei Gurulyov, who, like Simonyan, is an occasional panelist on the Solovyov show, where he may be said to represent hardliners on issues of patriotism and civic duty. Gurulyov said flatly that treason such as Prigozhin committed must be punished by the physical elimination of the perpetrators, by a bullet to the head. Simplicus has this about the next desperate step by NATO/Ukraine.
Nuclear Falseflag on Zaporozhye NPP Heats Up + Major Wagner Updates and More
The situation can only be considered urgent as Ukraine has now made their full intentions crystal clear. If before we suspected with high confidence, now it is plain fact. They intend to destroy the ZNPP plant as a last ditch attempt to ‘activate NATO’ by blaming Russia.
A completely coordinated campaign over the last few days has affirmed this. Not only was Budanov’s maiden speech after reappearing from his Kalibrated cranial trepanation centered on Russia’s alleged ‘mining of the ZNPP’ basement, but now several new instances of highly coordinated messaging have been released by Ukraine and its Western controllers.
