"Here’s Why the Sudden “Rebellion” in Russia
was a NothingBurger… And What it Really Means"
by Chris MacIntosh
"Ok, the big news of the last few weeks. The imminent collapse of Russia. The sudden rebellion by Wagner troops followed by the equally sudden, non-rebellion had the MSM in a tizzy. Most interesting and hilarious was watching the MSM go from “Wagner mercenaries are murdering Ukrainians” to “Wagner mercenaries are going to free us from Putin’s tyranny.” And, of course, now… silence. To be fair, it’s probably best they just shut up. I am simply stunned that anyone continues to listen to these shills who either spout propaganda or simply have no earthly idea what is going on but feel the need to say… well, something. Surely, it must be getting humiliating at this point?
In any event, here are some thoughts and questions I have after having digested some of what appears to have taken place. I watched the MSM come out with multiple (I counted 7 and then stopped counting) reports out on the Saturday morning. The fact we had this deluge of reports in such a rapid timeframe seemed odd to me. I mean the “mutiny” had literally only begun taking place hours prior. Hours!
Then we heard that the intelligence agencies briefed Congress earlier in the week about an expected uprising. Earlier in the week? So the spooks at the CIA and Congress knew about this ahead of time. Which means corporate media knew ahead of time. Which explains how they manage to have literally dozens of articles out within hours. They wrote the Russian Civil War narrative beforehand!
Which brings up the question. How did the security services know this was going to go down… before it happened if they weren’t playing a hand in the affair? An attempted Maidan coup 2.0? If that’s true, then you know what that means? It means that the US has directly attacked Russia. That is an act of war.
Those conclusions, true or not, lead one to consider that maybe, just maybe we have the CIA involved in a foreign country attempting to overthrow its leadership. Shocking, I know. And if so, this was an act of war committed by the US against Russia. But I’m sure it’s not. I’m sure it’s true that the Wagner group is so upset with Putin they tried to remove him from power, and I’m equally sure that upon advancing and finding NO resistance Wagner had a change of mind and instead decided to divert to Belarus to have a beer with Lukashenko. It totally makes sense. I mean, I looked it up and do you know what the temperature was on that weekend over there? 26°C. Now, you may be thinking to yourself, that’s not particularly hot, but I challenge you to throw on all that military fighting gear and walk a few hours in the sun and then tell me with a straight face that you would turn down a cold beer. So that’s what happened, and the coup is now over. In a weekend, no less. Now if money DID change hands between the CIA and Wagner, that’d have been long enough for it to, you know… be settled. Just sayin’.
Think about a hypothetical situation where the CIA did offer some of the billions being laundered through Ukraine in order to foment a “color revolution.” Now, imagine you’re one of those Russkies, a guy like, say, Prigozhin. You have, as I see it, three options:
Accept it and actually risk your neck trying to take down Putin along with the Russian army (Wagner is about 20% of the fighting force of the Russian army)
Decline it and tell your enemies to kick sand, which means they keep the money and you keep fighting.
Or you tell your enemy, sure, and take their money, run a psyops program for a weekend, and ultimately keep fighting. This way you get the best of both worlds.
So what’s it gonna be? I’ll let you decide the most probable scenario. What I do think is evident to all but most intellectually incurious is that what we are being told surely isn’t accurate. Here’s something else to consider. You’d think that if a coup were taking place the capital flight out of Russia would be extreme, and you’d immediately see it in the currency market.
So it’s odd that the ruble has continued to strengthen against both the dollar, the euro, and the British pound. I guess those Russkies are just dumb."
