Special Report: Emergency Situation as
Prigozhin Goes Nuclear Option

Simplicius The Thinker

Excerpt:

Prigozhin appears to have initiated a coup attempt. Information is still developing constantly so nothing is definitive or confirmed. That’s why I wanted to focus more on the potential causes rather than the speculative and constantly-changing informational noise…

One thing that’s important to note is the incident appears, on the surface, to have come out of the blue. But in reality, things have been developing for quite a while. Most notably, if you’ll recall that the Russian MOD a few weeks back issued a new ruling for all volunteers and PMCs to register under the yoke of the Russian MOD. On the surface, the justification was to give equal ‘benefits’ to all volunteers that Russian servicemen get for their service.

But clearly there was also an ulterior motive to get Wagner to sign their semi-independence away and conform entirely and de jure under the Russian MOD command structure.

Prigozhin very openly said “no”, and that he will not be signing any such contract. Since that point, the MOD has obviously been working out a plan on how to deal with and potentially ‘subdue’ Wagner should they fully go ‘rogue’ and refuse to be assimilated into the MOD directly…

This brings us to the next step in the causal chain. It is plausible that the MOD was planning to finally take action on Prigozhin because he recently released another series of increasingly inflammatory and accusatory videos, one of which I had already uploaded into my next report and was planning on discussing until this exigency took over today.

That video was completely unhinged and was the first time, in my opinion, where Prigozhin outright lied (and viciously as well). It was the first time where I truly began to question his motives in a more serious way because I simply could not mentally reconcile how it’s possible that he would make up such absolutely wild and objectively false claims. You can watch the video and judge for yourself…

The other biggest thing is the timing. At this most critical of points, exactly when we’re at peak terminal madness and Ukraine is teetering on the brink to the point that they’re developing major existential falseflags and terror campaigns against Russia—this is the point in time that Prigozhin suddenly chooses his seeming back-stab attack onto Russia? At its most critical and sensitive of times, Prigozhin wants to weaken, demoralize, and leave Russia completely vulnerable to its enemies? It makes no sense at all, and in fact it would appear on the surface as if Prigozhin is in fact working in concert with the AFU/SBU to coordinate their huge terror ramp up against Russia.

How else could you explain the timing of this incident? It feels precisely coordinated with the AFU/CIA’s developing campaigns to save their disastrously failed offensive.

The only way the timing would be out of his hands, in a sense, is if my earlier theory is correct in that the Russian MOD was already seeking to arrest him for refusing to register Wagner into the MOD hierarchy. If that’s the case, Prigozhin may have felt caged and left without a choice. Knowing his time was ticking, he may have thrown a desperate hail mary.

On that note, though, let’s explore a few possible options for what could actually be going on.

Prigozhin is working with AFU/SBU/CIA to backstab and destroy Russia, coordinating his actions with them.

Prigozhin is secretly working with Putin to remove the stodgily entrenched Russian command. Notice, not in a single one of his rants has Prigozhin accused Putin or so much as even mentioned his name. There’s a possibility that all this is theater to cause a “conciliatory deal” to be made which will result in the ‘stepping aside’ of Shoigu. Putin has previously “laterally promoted” (in actuality demotions) several big name siloviki in the past. For instance, Sergei Ivanov who was deputy prime minister and presidential chief of staff was “moved” to head some ‘ecological’ department. Could we see Shoigu used as a fig leaf to settle the impasse by “laterally” moving him to some other ostensibly ‘important’ (but actually irrelevant) position?

Everything is actually “as is” and whatever we see on the surface of the conflict pretty much represents what’s really happening.
