  1. #Blackwater Founder #ErikPrince Talks About Wagner, War, and More

    By Greg Chabot, July 24, 2022

    "After the success of this program [Blackwater], Prince was approached by officials in Russia asking for his help to start up a PMC. Prince turned down the generous offer that he says could have made him a billionaire. The #PMC nevertheless formed, he says, and is known as the #Wagner Group."

    #Putin’s “Erik Prince” is tied to some of #Russia’s riskiest covert operations

    By Greg Walters, February 21, 2018

    Excerpt: "In #Syria, a mysterious private military firm called PMC Wagner has been tied to #Prigozhin. The firm is sometimes described as the Russian #Blackwater in reference to the U.S. private military contractor founded by Erik Prince, a likeness Prigozhin appears to be emulating, according to Nance."

    Russia just accidentally admitted to its staggering troop losses in Ukraine — Unwanted by their homeland: Ukraine confirms Russia returned bodies of its soldiers disguised as Ukrainian — Trump’s peace push falters in both Ukraine and the Middle East; for similar reasons — Death toll in Russia’s mass strike on Kyiv rises to 30 dead, 172 wounded … and more

    🔴 El Pais: After Wagner, Kadyrov’s “Akhmat” Forces Rise

    🔸 Following Prigozhin’s death, many Wagner fighters joined Kadyrov’s elite “Akhmat” unit.
    🔸 Group maintains semi-autonomy and openly challenges the Russian General Staff.
    🔸 Fighters come from across Russia – and even Ecuador.
    🔸 Akhmat active in Kursk, Luhansk, Donetsk fronts; praised for loyalty over politics.

  5. CW: A24 Civil War Spoilers

    There will probably be sequences in #CivilWar that will feel familiar for viewers. For me, the most prescient parts were the sequence with the lady saying that she “just wants to stay out” of the war and not get involved because it’s so bad, as it reminds me when I had told my parents that there was #Antifa and #BlackLivesMatter violence a mere 30 to 45 minutes away from our home and they decided to ignore that because things couldn’t possibly be that bad (they were, but luckily the folks never came closer to the house), as well as the final sequence where the #WF marches through #DC and on into the #WhiteHouse as it felt like a near carbon copy of when #Prigozhin led the #WagnerGroup on a military march throughout much of #Russia, in a similar campaign to storm #Moscow and ostensibly depose and kill #Putin, in what some were indeed calling a civil war-style conflict at the time.

  6. @juliadavisnews

    Head of RT Margarita #Simonyan wholeheartedly endorsed torture. She argued that cutting off the ears of suspects is fine and shouldn't be subject to punishment. Simonyan was also fine with #Prigozhin's sledgehammer murders. #Putin's regime in a nutshell.

  7. Monument to Prigozhin and Utkin is planned to be installed in the territory of the Wagner private military company chapel in the city of Goryachy Klyuch in Krasnodar region. #Prigozhin #Utkin

  8. 'the presence of #Wagner operatives has been reported in #Libya -n media in several key #oil facilities under #LNA control (the army led by Khalifa #Haftar in the east of the country), and those installations include the Zilla #oilfield and the oil crescent ports'
    'A day before #prigozhin ’s plane crash the #Russian Dep Defence Minister Yunus-Bek #Yevkurov visited eastern #Libya to reassure officials that Wagner fighters would remain there under #Moscow 's control'

  11. @WaterfordWhispers telling it as it is (the official #Putler version that is). Hard to do satire when press releases of such lies are released with straight(ish) faces. #Prigozhin #SlippyStairs #OpenWindows #Salisbury #Novichok #RuZZia #Fascists #SlavaUkraini

  12. #Russia confirms #Wagner chief #Prigozhin’s death after DNA tests

    Russian investigators confirmed Sunday that Wagner mercenary leader Yevgeniy Prigozhin & top leaders of the group were killed when his plane crashed in the Tver region of Russia, announcing the results of #DNAtesting on the bodies of victims.

    washingtonpost.com/world/2023/

  13. And for those of you relatively new to #Wagner , here is a good investigation by Khodorkovsky's Dossier Centre into Dmitry 'Wagner' #Utkin (allegedly killed in the #Prigozhin plane crash), translated by Olga Lautman:
    olgalautman.substack.com/p/dos

  14. @JamesRhodes @TonyStark Probably. Yet we don't have enough reasonable evidence he was on board & enough DNA verified by independent ICC & ICJ forensic scientists to determine Prigozhin was among those killed aboard the plane shot down in Putin-controlled Russian airspace.

  15. The sooner we can track down #Prigozhin, the sooner we can find that secret island where JFK, #Tupac and #Biggie, #Elvis, #KurtCobain etc are hiding.

  16. Trouble ahead: Dictatorial coalition of Russia, Iran & Syria's al Assad teaming up to drive U.S. forces out of Syria.

    "The mobilization of pro-regime forces in eastern Syria has already led to clashes between pro-regime and SDF forces. Iranian and Russian information campaigns are amplifying rumors of International Coalition attacks into Syrian regime territory and stoking local tensions. Both dynamics are consistent with Iranian, Russian, and Syrian regime plans to cultivate a grassroots opposition to carry out attacks against the United States in Syria."

  17. "I’m going to give you a warning. They’re going to come for you,”

    You are ABSOLUTELY right about this, #Rudy

    You try to violently overthrow elected government - and they WILL come for you.

    But look on the positive side - if you tried this shit in #Russia, you would have ended up in a flaming hole in the ground.

    So cheer up, and enjoy the hospitality of #Georgia state penal system.

  18. Different coups, different outcomes. Weird reading about #Prigozhin and #Guiliani on the same day.

  23. The name of #DmitriUtkin, the #Wagner mercenary group’s most prominent commander, was also on the passenger #manifest of the plane that crashed on Wednesday, according to the Russian authorities. #Russia’s aviation authority released the full roster of those aboard; it included the names of both Yevgeny #Prigozhin & #Utkin.

  24. Sul jet precipitato in #Russia ci sarebbero sia #Prigozhin che #Utkin, il capo della #Wagner e il suo vice. È ciò che a Mosca chiamano “chiusura della Partita IVA”.

  25. Vielleicht war #Prigoschin ja gar nicht an Board (sondern nur auf der Liste), und er hat das Flugzeug selbst abschießen lassen?

    Niemand wird es glauben, wenn #Putin dementiert. So kann er untertauchen und vielleicht wollte er #utkin so loswerden?

    #prigozhin

  26. #SergeiMarkov, former close advisor to #Putin:

    "The murder of #Prigozhin and #Utkin, the creators of #Wagner, is probably a terrorist attack organized by #Ukraine in view of Ukraine’s independence day tomorrow.

    Ok.

  27. CW: Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine

    Not only #Prigozhin but also Dmitri #Utkin, fascist founder of the #Wagner group, was allegedly on board the private jet shot down over Tver Oblast in #Russia today. The Nazi organization is therefore officially beheaded. #alerta #Ukraine

  28. Un aereo privato che sembra avesse a bordo il fondatore della PMC Wagner, Evgenij Prigožin, e il suo braccio destro, Dimitrij Utkin, si sarebbe schiantato in Russia. Non vi sarebbero sopravvissuti.

    #prigozhin #utkin #russia

  29. 1/ According to preliminary data, an aircraft with tail number RA-02795 crashed in the Tver region.

    It belongs to Evgeny Prigozhin...

    In addition to #Prigozhin, neo-Nazi #Wagner leader Dmitry #Utkin was allegedly aboard.
