BREAKING NEWS: Yevgeny Prigozhin, the owner of the Wagner Group has died in a plane crash--or has he?

And other strange occurrences.

You can listen to me read this article here:

While conservative Americans are glued to X and Rumble, all in an uproar over Alex Jones’ “URGENT WARNING that Full Lockdown, Masks Coming Back in October!”, the international stage just dropped a bombshell with the apparent death of Yevgeny Prigozhin in a fiery plane crash.

It’s an eerie world, though, where nothing is as it seems to be. A picture no longer tells a thousand words and a video documenting a place, a time and a person cannot be taken at “face” value. “I’ll believe it when I see it” has become a meaningless statement.

As I reported in On the Brink of Nuclear WORLD WAR III, it was only yesterday that Prigozhin claimed to be “somewhere in Africa” where he said the Wagner Group is conducting reconnaissance and search activities, and ‘making Russia even greater on all continents, and Africa even more free’. Here’s the picture that should [but doesn’t] tell a thousand words:

Today the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry told TASS News and RIA Novosti that Prigozhin and all nine other people on board a plane flying from Moscow to St Petersburg died in a crash northwest of Moscow.

Here’s a photo showing what appears to be the wreckage of the plane on fire in a field.

In the meantime, Moscow continues to be pummeled by drone attacks:

Russia will do all it can to protect itself against the full might of the United States and NATO lining up against it.

As I reported in ARCTIC WARS, news of Moscow moving short range nuclear weapons to Belarus was reiterated again yesterday, a day after the U.S. Embassy in Belarus issued an alert for all American citizens in the country to leave immediately and warned against traveling there.

Russia will do all it can to create a buffer between East and West.

Here is Russia’s Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy secretary of the Kremlin’s powerful Security Council, who has warned that Moscow could annex Georgia’s breakaway regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

Russia is strengthening alliances with China and other BRICS nations.

On August 14th Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu visited Russia and Belarus, thereby bolstering military ties and pledging to strengthen military cooperation.

“Today, the whole world is a special military operation!” State Duma member Andrey Gurulyov declared.

“I would like to turn our attention to the Asia-Pacific region,” Gurulyov said. “Based on the statements made by North Koreans…nuclear war is inevitable—it’s only a matter of who and where will start it…. This will 100 percent include the sinking of the US Navy in the Pacific Ocean. There is no other way! This is an achievable goal, even if China acts alone.”

How much of the world would like to see the downfall of the United States? More than Americans care to admit.

Today, Russian president Vladimir Putin received loud cheers during the opening day of the BRICS summit in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Some key points of Putin’s speech.

• “We are against any hegemony, the notion of exceptionalism promoted by some nations, and the policy of neocolonialism derived from that claim,” the Russian leader said on Wednesday during a speech via video link to a summit of BRICS leaders in South Africa.

• The BRICS group, which includes Brazil, China, India, Russia, and South Africa, firmly believes in “the formation of a multipolar world order, truly just and based on international law,” Putin stated.

• Explaining the origins of the Ukraine crisis, Putin accused Western powers of facilitating the “anti-constitutional coup” in Kiev in 2014. After seizing power, the new Ukrainian authorities “unleashed a war” against those who rejected them, Putin said.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that the global community is tired of “blackmail and pressure” by Western elites.

Aren’t we all tired of this???

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov

Tectonic shifts are taking place in the world today… We are witnessing the emergence of a more just multipolar world order,” Lavrov wrote in an article for South Africa's Ubuntu magazine ahead of the BRICS Summit.

Notice how the West calls it a “New World Order” while the East calls it a “multipolar world”.

Do American citizens really grasp what is happening here? It doesn’t seem so. In a panel moderated by host Vladimir Solovyov, Russian politician Gurulyov said that Americans "won't come to their senses" until they "get hit with a nuke on their skull."

There is, indeed, a “tectonic shift” taking place.

BRICS members account for some 40% of the world population and, according to experts' forecasts cited by Lavorv, in 2023 the “Big Five” will account for about 31.5% of global GDP (at purchasing power parity), while the share of the G7 will fall to 30% .

So, let’s summarize these weird world events.

• Prigozhin was in Africa yesterday, vowing to make Russia great there.

• Prigozhin was reported killed near Moscow today.

• Putin spoke today at the BRICS summit—talking about the connection between Russia and Africa. He was on a conference call as he couldn’t travel to the summit for fear of being arrested by the international tribunal and tried as a war criminal.

• But was that really Putin talking? The Hill reported that Putin “appeared” to be speaking from his office in the Kremlin and that his voice “raised eyebrows”.

  The voice, much lower than Putin’s regular pitch, appears to be a type of generated AI voice changer, but it’s unclear why his voice was changed and how exactly it was altered.

• Journalists in the Kremlin pool reported that the “Russian president’s address was dubbed into Russian in a voice not belonging to Putin himself. Why this happened is unclear”. 

Weird. What is real and what isn’t? I mean, do we know for sure that every time President Biden appears, it is actually him? Is Biden still even alive???

Do we know anything anymore?

Wait a minute. The Daily Mail just asked this question:

Is Prigozhin dead or alive?

Russian state media boasts warlord HAS been obliterated after fireball private jet crash... but speculation also grows he may have cheated death and was on a SECOND plane flying over Moscow.

President Putin didn’t seem too concerned as he enjoyed a WW2 memorial concert and handed out military honors in Kursk, Russia. 

Hey, is Elvis still alive?

Did Putin really sing “Blueberry Hill” 11 years ago?

And did all those celebrities (Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russel, Sharon Stone—waving the peace sign) really look at him with such adoring eyes, only to turn him into a monster now?

But one thing I will add here. If Prigozhin was on that plane, he was dead already. You can't tell me an old fox like him decided to take a joyride into the heart of Putin’s domain, not with all those drones flying about.

Or, he's cooking Putin his favorite meal and they are toasting their latest exploit.

So many questions, so few answers.
