I scrolled thru quickly - I will get it on paper and read carefully, In any sane world Rolo would be a shoe-in for a Pulitzer price - just for this. We are at a real juncture here and this - Prigozhin's take - will turn out to be a key document. I assume it is being widely read in DC and other capitols as I key this in; i.e. Rolo has probably beaten at least some of the spook translators.

Hi Rolo,

Thank you again for the info and analysis. Best one I have come across in years.

So Prigozhin is half Jewish backed by two powerful Jews in the presidential administration. He attacks the MoD, i.e. Shoigu and Gerasimov and damages them in the eyes of the politically active fraction of the population that gets its information from the internet and Telegram. As far as I am concerned this is a power play by the Jews to capture the MoD and enlarge their looting operation and power. Given the poor performance of the army, how strong are the positions of Shoigu and Gerasimov ?

The member of the Duma that attacked Prigozhin might simply be an attempt at discrediting him done according to the papers leaked in the USA. Shoigu or some subordinates called a favour from a member of the Duma without any obvious link to them and this guy launched a slander. It spectacularly backfired. That Wagner can make a video threatening to kill a member of the Duma without adverse reaction is telling of the degraded state of the Russian power structure.

20'000 Russian dead and 50-60'000 Ukrainian dead in the battle of Bakhmut is really bad. I mean this town has next to no importance. The front line barely moves. Why the bloodshed ? I am unconvinced by the explanations. The numbers also look inflated by a factor of 10 !

I hate to be Debbie Downer, but Russia's fate may have been sealed when Stalin took power. If as some say, Wall Street secretly financed the Bolshevik Revolution then by 1922 when Stalin took control the plan had succeeded, as very few of Stalin's "original" Bolshevik comrades were still live. Most were slaughtered in a systematic purge. What's interesting, is that Stalin the great communist leader was eager to do business with the

West: "Between 1929 and 1932 Winkler-Koch supported the Kremlin and trained Bolshevik engineers to help Stalin's regime set up fifteen modern oil refineries." Stalin's type of dictatorial government might've suited US industrialists just fine. Ironically, the Koch family also supported and funded Hitler. But I digress, as my point was to say that decades of sustaining the Cold War served the US as the banksters were able to use the illusion of acrimony between Russia and the US to build the MIC including the intelligence agencies comprising the national security state. And it's also oddly coincidental, that in 1991 as the Soviet Union dissolved the US economy was going through one of its "manufactured crises" and needed an economic boost by looting Russia. That being said, as Rolo pointed out the Kremlin in the early 1990's provided "no" pushback to NATO's encroachment or any of the agreements made to Gorbachev which were immediately violated, very peculiar.

Unfortunately, it's always the plebs who are the last to learn that they've been betrayed by their own rulers. But, don't take it to heart, as the US population has also for decades been betrayed by their rulers too, as bankster/gangsters and multinational corporations, as well as the national security state plundered the treasury on needless wars while it simultaneously was social engineering China. And so interestingly enough, the Russian and US plebs are now in the same sorry situation floating on a slow boat into China's technocratic biosecurity surveillance state, or better known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

You know its a fake war when the children of the elites are in the nations of your so called enemies. Go back to world war 2 and see how both Hitler and Stalin even send they family,relatives and even children to the front. As solidarity and a sign that we are all in this struggle together. And yes Stalin would have done a major purge by now as he understood that incompent people at the top can be even more deadly then your enemy. And if you tolerate corruption the system will eat itself. Its the age old saying of united we conquer and divided we fall.

I imagine the more damage done to Ukraine, the higher the reparations will be.

I hope everyone reading this understands that assaulting Bakhmut has no military value? Hence if there ever were a sick conspiracy to kill Europeans, Prigozhin would be the first suspect? Sofa Legion Strategist may be a starry-eyed anarchist kiddy thinking that all "normal people" want is peace, but his solution would not be different than mine, a pagan fascist's - kill all bureaucracy, kill the entire general staff, cull the people in power until they learn the lesson - by being dead. (Yes, such a message can be voiced on Russian YouTube, fascinating.)

Incidentally, a day of wrath scenario is something the last Hitlerian, Mexican César Tort, yearns for. As to you, Rolo - why not equate the Demiurge with Yeshua the crucified Jew? The perverse god of love for pestilence?

"Stalin would have hanged people by now, but we refuse to learn our lessons"

That is key, imo. If this is an existential war, we are either not seeing the whole picture, or it is not existential. Russia keeps operating by the western standards. It is very difficult, if not impossible to win this way. Even if they military could, they will lose in the end because they seem unwilling to blow the 'Overton window' out of its frame.

If all or even a small percentage of this is true, it's a blueprint for a color revolution upending Russia.

It's not a question of whether Russia is corrupt, incompetent, inexperienced at war, without clear direction etc. That is a given- for every nation, worldwide. The west is held together by the collective efforts of useless corrupt woke power hungry politicians of even lesser moral quality who believe everyone & everything can be bought, sold & slaughtered like cattle at their whim, under their "Rules". For each generation to expect different is ultimately ludicrous - as our distorted /recorded history proves. The difference this time is they 🌎 are preparing for 🚀🌍🌏💥 🌐.

If anything, this conflict has left the west bankrupt, a walking dead nuclear debt bomb that is literally gambling that Russian Federation collapses internally before they run out of money to steal, Ukranians to fight & die for them, energy, conventional weapons & ammo & their own internal collapse occurs. (Vegas odds are even that US implodes first. 😜) Nukes will become their only other option on a multifront 🇷🇺🇨🇳 scenario. They' will Never become rational & back off. The rats will go underground before they ever give up power voluntarily.

Greed & corruption has spared worldwide destruction up till now. It may not be enough this time.

The time now is one minute to midnight🕛

That's my 2¢...

“… the leadership should shoot itself.” ”… may as well have called me ‘Putin’s butcher’.”

God, Prigozhin is such a troll, love him.

If only he was not tribe...alas, 1917 all over.

His minions killing a captain of the RF(Bereg) - and getting away with it while everyone charged with the investigation is girlishly shy about it.

Same as it ever was.

I'm afraid, the Tzar has grown too old for what is coming.

Great job. I hope the interview was genuine and that maybe the Russian people will have enough and there will be a political renaissance. We need to have Russia back in the free world using its many strengths to contribute to humankind. No more East, West. But we in the west have the same problem with elites and have to clean up our mess too. Maybe if the Russian people take on their elites we will follow their example and take on ours.

Excellent piece; it should be run in Western outlets, but, of course, they're captured. In U.S. it's Smith-Mundt (modernized) and Operation Mockingbird. Thank you, Rolo.

This is disinformation to sow seeds of discord. Most high ranking officers and their families are bsnbed from the west. He is obviously not a strategest. Bakhmut was not a strategic town and the ukies fell for it by diverting troops to defend a non strateguc town. The reason for Russia not attacking Bakhmut was due to soft ground that had not hardened during winter. Tanks would sink to their turrets not to mention inviting the ukies through a narrow corridor to their deaths. His mercenary force is similar to a spearhead.

A lot of this smacks of disinformation to sow seeds of discord and undermine Russia and the,army's defence of it. Firstly he talks about the high rank officer's kids enjoying their seclusion in the west thus avoiding the draft. These officers and families are barred from the west. It is obvious this man fails to understand overall military strategy. Bakhmut is a case in point. With the ground as soft as it was it is no use sending in tanks that would sink up to their turret. His military force is considered a mercenary one.
