Who Does Yevgeny Prigozhin Work For Now?
Vanity | 6/25/23 | Vanity

Posted on 06/25/2023 9:47:56 AM PDT by hardspunned

“Yevgeny V. Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner mercenary group who led an uprising against the Russian military leadership, agreed to end hostilities and head to Belarus.” New York Times

So the Great Russian Civil War ends. Prigozhin walks away. The Wagner security problem ends for the Russian leadership. The Western media sets its hair ablaze for 24 hours and the failed Ukrainian Counteroffensive grinds to stop.

The accusations that started this by Prigozhin regarding the Russian military leadership and attacks on his forces appear to all be fabrications. This is not surprising since all his previous statements used as Western disinfo have been lies (excluding his announcement of the fall of Bakhmut). If you search this guy on FR you will find nothing but Western disinfo traffic attributed to his outrageous and false statements. It is obvious Prigozhin hasn’t worked for the Russian military in a while. Referencing all the anti Russian lies attributed to this guy that ended as posts here, NATO and Uniparty, DC have certainly reaped a lot of ink. Yesterday could very well have been a Hail Mary attempt to start a wildfire in Moscow at the behest of some yet to be identified new employer.

For the time being, Yevgeny Prigozhin may want to steer clear of any Russian based skyscrapers that have large picture windows that open all the way up.
Don’t want him catching cold from the draft!

When you talk about a theoretical event, you are doing the same kind of guessing and wishing that you accuse others of doing, "Could very have well been" means that, you have no idea about the who, what, when, where, how, of the subject you speak of. Tell us indisputable facts and you'll gain some credibility.

The KGB Putin Stooge God sure did put a lot of trust and spent much resources on Prigozhin.

“primarily concerned with making money at the expense of ethics.
“the crime was committed out of mercenary motives”

Putin has a dictionary too. He is a hired mercenary! The incredible thing I saw was the rush by people like you to embrace this mercenary. Embrace him AFTER posting for months about the cold blooded killer for hire he is! It appears the Western leadership was all in on the guy too. I will concede he would be an upgrade from their #1 stooge, Zelensky.

[Who Does Yevgeny Prigozhin Work For Now?]


First and foremost, every single person - in both public and private life - works for himself. In the UK, for instance, the PM job has involved 5 people in 5 years. That wasn’t because each of them got in line and took a turn at the job. They went at each other hammer and tongs - but verbally and behind closed doors, as they lined up support for their candidacies.

In a place like Russia, which is ruled by a dictator, the only way to get the top job is by force or threat of force. Putin’s monopoly on force is how he kept Medvedev on a leash through the latter’s terms of office, despite Medvedev’s presidency being the notional boss over Putin’s premiership.

Acquiring a monopoly of force was what Prigozhin attempted to accomplish with his coup attempt. His primary goal was to do it with as little bloodshed as possible. Because once large amounts of blood are spilled, then civil war beckons and even a successful outcome might only be temporary, as armies go back and forth on the chessboard of Russia’s territory. He failed to get enough buy-ins from the Russian military brass, so decided to back off.

The retreat from Moscow may or may not merely be a truce until a better-provisioned and less ad hoc (on both sides) test of strength is initiated at a later date. The successful coup against Salvador Allende in Chile was preceded by what some considered a dry run just months earlier. If Prigozhin intends to try his luck again, we could see this trucial moment evaporate like the morning dew later on in 2023.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanquetazo#Aftermath
[Souper surrendered later that day, after units from the 1st Artillery Regiment “Tacna” encircled and fired on the 2nd Armored barracks where he and his troops had taken refuge. Other military officers involved in planning the putsch were René López, Edwin Ditmer, Héctor Bustamante, Mario Garay, Carlos Martínez, Raúl Jofre, and José Gasset. It was soon discovered that the main leaders of the fascist group Fatherland and Liberty had been the instigators. Pablo Rodríguez Grez, John Schaeffer, Benjamín Matte, Manuel Fuentes, and Juan Hurtado sought asylum in the Embassy of Ecuador. From there they released a communique acknowledging that they had promoted the attempted coup.[1]

During the evening, President Allende addressed a massive demonstration of support in front of La Moneda. As he neared the end of his speech, he said: “... trust your government. Go home and kiss your wives and children in the name of Chile.”[1]

Though the tanquetazo was unsuccessful, it was a turning point in the deteriorating political situation of Chile. The failure allowed the conspirators to check loyalties, and push the government to take steps towards an alliance with the Christian Democracy party.[3] Christian Democracy’s leader Patricio Aylwin demanded the formation of a coalition cabinet, to include members of the armed forces. Allende rejected his proposal.[4]

The tanquetazo is seen as the prelude to the successful coup of 11 September 1973.[5] Amongst other consequences, Army Intelligence officers conducted a thorough study of the weaponry used against the rebelling troops, and the locations from which they were fired.[6] Additionally, the strength of the so-called “industrial belts”, traditional strongholds of pro-government workers, was accurately gauged and concluded to be weak, even after President Allende’s call on all workers to defend the government. ]

Well, the fact that he's a hardened criminal makes the accusations that he works for the CIA a little more plausible.

There is little future for ignoring Lord Montgomery’s first rule of war —

Rule 1, on page 1 of the book of war, is: ‘Do not march on Moscow’…[Rule 2] is: ‘Do not go fighting with your land armies in China.’

speech, House of Lords, 30 May 1962

Let’s try to avoid speculation. We know Priggy is a murderer for hire. We know he has been undermining Russian leadership for months. We know he has been a boon for Western disinfo operatives for months. We know yesterday Priggy made statements designed to do great harm to Russia and do great benefit for NATO. Priggy has not announced his retirement nor had he previously expressed an interest in ruling Russia. Nah, I don’t need 61 security experts to tell me to unlax, nothing to see here. It’s obvious, Priggy had his come to woke, pervo, globalism moment two days ago.

You may "know" these things.

Most people do not "know" them. Just because they reinforce the world view you believe in, does not mean they are true.

LOL!

People with malicious intent, don't announce before they take action. Doing so would have brought instant or painful slow death to Prigo. Nobody would do what Prigo has done unless there were insidious workings in the background.

Prigo might be working for Putin. To assemble an invasion force to invade Kiev from Belorussia. This force would be Wagners and the Belorussian army. Prigo would whip them into shape. Russia will supply them
