PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS: THE RUSSIAN "COUP" THAT WASN'T!
All Sources inside Russia Have Gone "Dark" - Largest Submarine Sails with Poseidon Nuclear Torpedo
A very troubling situation has developed inside Russia this morning, Monday, June 26, 2023. All my intel sources have either gone dark or told me they have to go dark immediately. Apparently ANYONE who expressed support for the Prigozhin Rebellion is being rounded-up and/or turned off violently.
More interestingly, Russia's largest submarine, the "Belgorad" (K-329), set sail from its Arctic port in Severodvinsk, along with a support ship "Akademik Aleksandrov."
This Support ship is associated with testing the "Poseidon" Intercontinental Nuclear-Powered Nuclear-Armed Autonomous Torpedo.
The sailing of the two vessels, together, plus other signs observed, may indicate that a Poseidon test launch is imminent.
The question becomes, is it a test or will it be live?
The Poseidon torpedo is autonomous. It can be pre-programmed to travel almost anywhere in the world, silently, take up position off a coastline at a depth of 1-2 miles, and wait, undetected and undetectable.
At the pre-programmed time, it can detonate its scalable 100 MEGATON nuclear torpedo, creating a radioactive tsunami that takes out the entire coastline of an adversary. In some areas, the tsunami would come ashore as a 1500 foot tall wave of radioactive water, knocking down entire cities, and leaving them covered in a radioactive flood that would make the area uninhabitable for decades.
The submarine carries SIX such Poseidon torpedos.
I could place one off each coast of the UK, travel across the Atlantic, place one or more off the US East Coast, the travel down to the Gulf of Mexico, place another, and leave the US West Coast to typical Russian submarines.
None of us would have any idea at all that anything was wrong and then, suddenly, BOOM, all of them go off at once. The US and UK would be completely crippled immediately, wiping out NATO.
Wagner mutiny was very likely staged operation.
This analysis is NOT mine, it comes from a guy in Europe whom I respect. I think you'll like it:
From recent events I can conclude following:
Wagner mutiny was very likely staged operation. Fallout of ostensible rebelion provided cover for fast military movement with numerous air defense units and thousands of troops reaching western borders of Russia practically unnoticed as everyone was focused on Prigozhin's insurgency. Without mutiny pretext such massive movement would be seen, and mainly linked, directly to Ukraine very quickly. If I consider that Russia already did some serious preparatons to protect its capital, with roads blocked and checkpoints rised, I think Russia is about to blow heavy strike on Kiev and its forces (if not even further) and all this protective measures, ostensibly related to mutiny, were done actually as protective measures if NATO will decide to intervene.
If my conclusions are correct then such blow will come in next hours or days."

Russian General Arrested Following Wagner Mutiny – MT Russian
Russian General Sergei Surovikin has been arrested, The Moscow Times' Russian service reported Wednesday, citing two sources close to the Defense Ministry who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The Defense Ministry has yet to comment on the alleged arrest of Surovikin, who has not been seen in public since Saturday, when Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin launched an armed rebellion against Russia's military leadership.
"The situation with him was not 'OK.' For the authorities. I can't say anything more," one of the sources said.
According to the second source, the arrest was carried out "in the context of Prigozhin."
"Apparently, he [Surovikin] chose Prigozhin's side during the uprising, and they've gotten him by the balls," the source said.
When asked about the general's current whereabouts, the source replied: "We are not even commenting on this information through our internal channels."
The sources did not specify whether he was detained as a suspect or a witness.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Thursday declined to comment on Surovikin's whereabouts, instead advising journalists to refer their questions to the Defense Ministry.
Later on Thursday, the Financial Times, citing three unnamed people familiar with the matter, reported that the general was detained in an alleged "crackdown on pro-war elites."
Bloomberg and independent investigative outlet IStories followed with similar reports, but said Surovikin had only been questioned by law enforcement officials and then released.
None of the reports could be independently verified.
Earlier Wednesday, pro-war military blogger Vladimir Romanov said Surovikin was detained Sunday, the day after Prigozhin's aborted mutiny.
Romanov claimed that Surovikin is now being held in Moscow's Lefortovo detention center.
Alexei Venediktov, editor-in-chief of the shuttered Ekho Moskvy radio station, wrote on Telegram that Surovikin has not been in contact with his family for three days and that his guards are not responsive.
The New York Times reported Tuesday, citing unnamed U.S. officials, that Surovikin had prior knowledge of Prigozhin's plan to instigate a rebellion against Russia's military leadership.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Wednesday dismissed the report as “speculation” and “gossip,” suggesting that Putin had not given in to Prigozhin’s demands for an imminent reshuffle of the Russian military's top brass.
Wagner’s uprising set off Russia's most serious security crisis in decades before Prigozhin agreed to stand down Saturday night in exchange for immunity in exile, as part of a deal brokered by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.
Surovikin commanded Russia’s forces in Ukraine for three months between October 2022 and January 2023 until he was replaced by Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov.

Official confident Russian troops can prevent false flag at Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant
Russian forces will prevent Ukraine from staging a false flag attack at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), Renat Karchaa, advisor to the CEO of Russian state nuclear power corporation Rosenergoatom, said on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, the official warned that the Ukrainian armed forces were planning to attack the ZNPP on the night of July 5.
"The threat I mentioned yesterday is still there. That said, our troops remain on high alert. We have every reason to place our trust in them and rely on them to prevent those beyond the river, not to mention their masters beyond the English Channel, from carrying out the scheme that they have cooked up," Karchaa told Russia’s Channel One television.
He said earlier that the Ukrainian military intended to attack the power plant with long-range, high-precision weapons and drones. Additionally, in his words, the Ukrainian armed forces may employ munitions filled with radioactive waste removed from the South Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant on July 3. A back-up plan, involving the use of a high-precision Tochka-U missile armed with a warhead filled with radioactive waste, may also be put into effect, Karchaa said, citing information available to him.
Earlier, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky accused Russia of allegedly plotting a terrorist attack on the Zaporozhye NPP. Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov slammed Zelensky’s allegation as yet another lie. Karchaa, in turn, said that the Ukrainian leader’s statement could serve as proof of Kiev’s preparations for an attack on the ZNPP, which would ultimately be aimed at dragging NATO further into the Ukrainian conflict as an actual belligerent.
On June 23, Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said at a UN Security Council meeting that Moscow was highly concerned about Kiev’s increasingly shrill allegations that Russia is booby-trapping the ZNPP. According to him, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) mission that recently visited the facility could see for themselves the utter absurdity of such allegations.
The six-reactor, six-gigawatt Zaporozhye NPP, located in the city of Energodar, is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe. Russian forces took control of the facility in late February 2022. Since then, the Ukrainian army has periodically shelled both residential areas in Energodar and the power plant proper using drones, heavy artillery and multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS).

Risks of nuclear incident at Zaporozhye NPP go down — Rosenergoatom
Risks of Kiev staging a nuclear incident at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) have reduced considerably but sabotage attempts are not excluded, Renat Karchaa, an adviser to the director general of Russia’s Rosenergoatom nuclear power engineering company, said on Friday.
"The probability of this (a nuclear incident - TASS) has reduced considerably," he said in an interview with the Rossiya-24 television channel. "However, it cannot be 100% excluded. We should nor relax thinking that this has become a thing of the past."
According to Karchaa, Ukraine will stop at nothing to do irreparable harm to Russia.
Earlier, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky accused Russia of plotting a terror attack on the Zaporozhye NPP. He informed about it the United States, Brazil, India, China, European, Middle East and African countries but provided no evidence to back his allegation. Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov refuted these allegations as another lie. According to Karchaa, Zelensky’s statements may indicate that Kiev is plotting a terror attack or a strike on the ZNPP in a bid to drag NATO into the conflict.
Located in the city of Energodar, the Zaporozhye NPP is Europe’s largest nuclear power plant and has six power units with an aggregate capacity of 6 GW. Russian forces took control of the facility in February 2022. Since then, Ukrainian troops have been periodically shelling both Energodar’s residential quarters and the plant’s territory, using drones, heavy artillery and multiple launch rocket systems.
Moscow calls Kyiv terrorist regime for Crimean Bridge attack.
Jul. 09 (MNA) – "Terrorist regime," was the succinct response of Russia’s Foreign Ministry to Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar’s admission that Kyiv had carried out the attack on the Crimean Bridge in the autumn of 2022.
“273 days since we struck the first blow on the Crimean Bridge to disrupt the logistics of the Russians,” Maliar had written on Telegram on Saturday.
"Now they have embarked on a plan for ‘their own salvation’- systematic infliction of damage to the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant," added Maria Zakharova, the official spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry, in a Telegram post, Sputnik reported.
Previously, a huge threat of sabotage at the ZNPP from Kyiv amid its stuttering counteroffensive was emphasized by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
Up until now, Kyiv has refused to claim responsibility for the attack on the 19-km long bridge - the longest in Europe and connecting the Crimean peninsula and mainland Russia's Krasnodar region. Crimea reunited with Russia in March 2014 after a referendum in which over 96% of the peninsula's voters said “yes” to reunification. The bridge was opened by Russia's President Vladimir Putin in May 2018.
A truck was blown up on the road section of the Crimean Bridge on 8 October, causing two car spans partially to collapse into the sea. Seven fuel tanks of a freight train on the adjacent rail section caught fire. Three people were killed. Russian President Vladimir Putin called the blast on Crimean Bridge a terrorist attack aimed at destroying civilian infrastructure.
Immediately after the attack, Russian authorities announced a series of measures to repair damage and ensure stable transport ties between Crimea and Krasnodar Territory. Putin signed a decree Saturday night to step up security for transport crossing through the Kerch Strait, as well as electricity and energy infrastructure in the area.
At the time, Ukrainian officials, including President Volodymyr Zelensky, hinted at Kyiv's responsibility for the terrorist incident in a series of meme-riddled posts on social media. Presidential advisor Mykhailo Podolyak had gloated that the attack on the bridge was just "the beginning" and that "everything illegal must be destroyed" and "everything stolen must be returned to Ukraine."
Two senior Ukrainian officials also purportedly told the New York Times that Ukrainian intelligence was behind the attack on the bridge.
Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) stated a week after the attack that the Ukrainian Defense Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate was behind the explosion.The FSB also said that “the explosive device was camouflaged in rolls with a construction polyethylene film and was shipped from the [Ukrainian] seaport of Odessa to Bulgaria's Ruse in early August”.
Russia DENOUNCES Big Pharma: China & BRICS DEMAND International JUSTICE For Covid CRIMINALS
July 11, 2023: Two months ago to this day, I was interviewed by Stew Peters to discuss how migrants crossing the southern border through Mexico were being infected with malaria and dengue fever. Just two days prior to my interview, Michael Yon told Stew that the migrants had to pass through jungles that could be infested with mosquitoes weaponized with these pathogens. Malaria is a parasitic infection and dengue is a virus.
