Key moments of aborted Wagner revolt in Russia
RT breaks down how the private military company’s attempted rebellion unfolded
The Wagner private military company led by Evgeny Prigozhin launched an insurrection in Russia that began on Friday evening and lasted through Saturday.
The armed contractors managed to seize an army headquarters in the southern part of the country.
However, they failed to rally other units and eventually aborted their advance towards Moscow after a deal was reached with the authorities. The agreement, which includes an amnesty for Prigozhin, was brokered by Belarusian leader, Aleksandr Lukashenko.
US classified Prigozhin's plans fearing accusations of supporting mutineers — newspaper
According to its version, the US intelligence services also remained silent because they "had little interest in helping Mr. Putin avoid a major, embarrassing fracturing of his support"
NEW YORK, June 25. /TASS/. The US intelligence agencies did not declassify the information they received about the plans of Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner PMC, for fear of being accused by the Russian authorities of organizing a coup, the New York Times reported.
What In The World Is Happening In Russia?
The entire world has been stunned by the events of the past 48 hours. The leader of the Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, was leading a convoy of heavily-armed troops to Moscow, and the mainstream media in the western world was salivating over the prospect of a Russian civil war. The “regime change” in Russia that western leaders have desperately been hoping for seemed like a realistic possibility, and that sparked a frenzy of speculation on social media. But just like that, it was over. All of a sudden Prigozhin was heading into exile in Belarus, and we were told that his troops would be heading back to the front lines in Ukraine.
US assesses implications of Wagner revolt attempt
Secretary of State Antony Blinken has claimed the incident shows “real cracks” in President Vladimir Putin’s grip on power
This weekend’s aborted uprising by Russian military contractor PMC Wagner Group may portend greater instability for President Vladimir Putin’s government and will create “openings” for Ukraine to take back territory seized by Moscow’s forces, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has claimed.
“It was a direct challenge to Putin’s authority, so this raises profound questions,” Blinken said on Sunday in a CBS News interview. “It shows real cracks. We can’t speculate or know exactly where that’s gonna go. We do know that Putin has a lot more to answer for in the weeks and months ahead.”
Russian Lawmakers Working Out Bill to Regulate Private Military Companies' Activity

China Back's Argentina's Falklands Claim, Urges End To Hegemonism And "Colonial Thinking"
Around the time the senile vegetable reading from the White House teleprompter was calling China's Xi Jinping a democrat, destroying all the goodwill his Secretary of State did just days earlier during his visit go Beijing - and throwing Blinken under the bus in the process - a Chinese ambassador to the United Nations, Geng Shuang, backed Argentina’s claim to the Falkland Islands and called on countries to abandon “colonial thinking”, and warning of its serious implications for the international order.

Separate areas for Muslims and Jews on Temple Mount?
A Likud lawmaker’s plan to divide the Temple Mount between Jews and Muslims has drawn outrage from Muslim political, religious and terrorist corners. The real outrage, say Temple Mount activists, is that Jews don’t have equal rights to Judaism’s holiest site.
Knesset member Amit Halevi floated the idea earlier this month of recognizing separate areas on the Temple Mount for the two faiths. He noted that there was plenty of room for Jews and Muslims: 144 dunams, or 35 acres.

Pseudo-scientist Peter Hotez promotes UNLIMITED COVID JABS for kids as part of the Fauci disinformation agenda and vaccine violence propaganda campaign
Self-admitted "junk-food-aholic" Peter Hotez is addicted to junk science food stuff, yet thinks his advice on health topics, such as junk-science vaccines, holds water and is worthy of disseminating to the masses. He claims there are no chemicals in vaccines, only "antigens, macro-molecules, and saline." Yet, one glance at the CDC's own vaccine ingredients web pages and we see all kinds of chemicals, heavy metal toxins, blood from humans (abortions) and animals (albumin), monosodium glutamate, and genetically modified viruses and bacteria. So, you were saying?
Sixteen years ago, the United Nations was told that chemtrails are bad for agriculture and bad for natural resources
In 2007, Dr. Rosalind Peterson gave a presentation at the United Nations in which she stated that chemtrails form man-made clouds that trap warmth in the atmosphere, exacerbate global warming, contribute to long-term climate change, and affect natural resources and agriculture. Chemtrails are not a “conspiracy theory,” they are fact – they know and they have always known.
Dr. Rosalind Peterson was California President and co-founder of the Agriculture Defense Coalition (“ADC”). The ADC was formed in 2006 to protect agriculture from a wide variety of experimental weather and atmospheric testing programs. Dr. Peterson also founded California Sky Watch in 2002, when she began researching atmospheric testing and weather modification programs. She passed away in 2019.
It wasn’t “bird flu” that killed wild birds in Europe last spring, it was radiation sickness
“It is striking: the areas with colonies that were heavily affected by bird flu last year remained vacant this year, including those of Waterdunen (ZL), Wagejot and De Petten on Texel (NH), Griend and De Putten near Camperduin (NH)” – wrote Ruud van Beusekom of BirdLife Netherlands.
Everyone is assuming that the birds nesting successfully this year have acquired immunity from the H5N1 influenza virus. But the areas chosen this year by the birds are lower-radiation areas.
