Stranger, go tell the Jews that here lies their Prigozhin, true to their eternal nature: a criminal, an embezzeler, a charlatan, a sower of dischord, a parasite, and a traitor to his host.
Culling White populations and saving”chosen” Whites is a practice seen before by the same two criminal organizations. Nazis and Zionist Jews culled ghetto and inbred Jews in concentration camps. Why? As in the book of Exodus, not all Jews were worthy of the promised land, in this case Rotschild’s fiefdom of Israel. Genocide, culling, eugenics, guiding evolution, and now transhumanism are the pentultimate forms of power on Earth for the twin parasites - Nazi/CIA and Zionist/Jews. Nazis and Zionists are two wings of the same genocidal bird.
Just wanted to use the opportunity here to clear up a misunderstanding from your Ask The Inspector on Friday. I (Josef from Graz (Austria)) do not believe it was Putin. But my question was edited in way that left some crucial parts out. Anyway who cares, lot's of people do believe it so you could use my question as proxy for that. At least I can say now, Scott ranted because of me! :)
Actually I asked that question because on your first appearance on the Judge about the Prigozhin death, it did sound to me like you believed it highly likely and morally ok for Putin to do it. After your second appearance on the Judge's roundtable it became clear that was not so. I apologize for misunderstanding you the first time around.
Thanks so much for taking my questions! Thanks for being honestly in hot pursuit of the Truth, and bringing whatever you find to the worlds attention!
PS: Just tell Jeff to be a little more careful with editing questions.
Culling White to a smaller “chosen” genetic pool of Whites. Similar to culling ghetto Jews in concentration camps with collaboration between Zionist Jews and Nazis. The remaining Jews were able to claim higher-than-normal IQs. This culling is a red flag for eugenics program that never died. Nazis and Jews are wings of the same genocidal bird.
A lot of news recently has been repetitive but this article is full of new and interesting news especially about Prigozhin who seems to me to have been a power-hungry lunatic. I am appalled that Ritter, obviously because he upset the serial liars, has been censored and hope he finds his way back. He is a favorite reporter of mine.
I very much doubt that Putin would have taken Prigozhin out that way, by blowing up a plane and killing 10 people, including a 3-person crew, while the BRICS summit was going on. I agree with Scott's assessment that this wasn't Putin's work. Western mainstream news loves blaming everything on Putin to the point where it's just a Pavlovian response. Something happened? Blame Putin. I'm surprised Putin hasn't been blamed for the fires in Maui. Oh, wait, he probaBly has been. There were MANY who had motive and capability, if this was in fact an assassination and not a terrible accident because of incorrectly stowed ordnance. I would put Ukraine and its Western collaborators at the top of that list, especially considering that the plane was shot down on the eve of Ukrainian Independence Day.
Being an airline transport pilot for 37 years and aware of the possibilities, I doubt this was Putin's doing. Nothing adds up in that direction, but, Biden is on record stating that Prigozhin and the Wagner group was an outlawed criminal group and was threatened to be exterminated if captured. I highly suspect the Biden Crime Family having more to do with this than any other possibility.
Moreover, nothing kept the “incompetent” CIA from blowing up the pipeline and I doubt that any amount of incompetence could keep them from blowing up this guy too. Scott has accounted for all the reasonable methods of sabotaging the plane but I have to wonder how hard it is to buy off any mercenary at a time of turmoil within the ranks. And especially if they were going to be subsumed into the military. Also, have drones been ruled out? We seem to be very busy with those. I really think that France has such a big stake in getting Niger back in line and that that would be very hard to do with Wagner helping Niger, that our very own international criminal actors of some “national security” stripe orchestrated and carried out this plane crush. But that’s just me.
If Putin is a killer, as Biden declares, what does that mean for Biden, who orchestrated the Maidan coup, which perpetuated the Ukraine war with Russia, sending countless Ukrainian Russians to their death with bombings from Washington's supported Nazi killers in Kiev for 8 years before Moscow intervened to stop the indiscriminate murders?
So much finger pointing at each other from both sides and all shades of gray in between as to who's most at fault. We all be at fault for our complacency our complicity. Constant wars ... is that what we're evolved into.
Russia tried to make peace with Washington several times after Biden orchestrated the coup d'etat in Kiev, in 2014 but the Biden Crime Family would not respond to Putin's offer of extending an olive branch by requesting a summit meeting to resolve what was causing Washington to behave with hostility by overthrowing Ukraine's government. Washington responded like they always do when they are up to no-good. They shunned Moscow and would not reply to the request. This Ukraine war with Russia was started by Washington. Washington has wanted to overpower Russia since 1943 and thought they could by installing a pro Washington regime in Ukraine, similar to what they pulled over Iran in 1953 but Putin is no one's fool. Putin is not going to allow Washington to set up nuclear missiles on Russia's doorstep, under any circumstances. Washington's stunt did not need to happen nor did the stunt with China but the dogs of war in the U.S. capital think they can intimidate both Moscow and Shanghai but they're finding out the hard way that these newly created foes will not back down, and I believe the war mongers realize these two are not Iran, nor Iraq, Afghanistan, Ecuador, or Grenada. These two are serious countries that know how to fight back and hopefully the mental midgets in Washington will realize that before things get out of hand.
Tsk tsk. America’s entire economy is dependent on the war machine—the making and selling of arms and tanks and ships and subs and nukes and …. When NAFTA went thru we all became cannon fodder, our noses up the butt of the Clintons’ as they destroyed the unions and all of FDR’s post war institutions.
I suppose it really doesn't matter but it was Ronald Reagan that initiated bringing the concept of NAFTA to the forefront along with Brian Mulroney in Canada, and seriously began putting together the agreements with Mexico and Canada. He also wanted to, and began negotiating to open the flood gates of exporting our industries, allowing our industrial technologies to be exported to China, along with our jobs, our well being and our family's future jobs and well being. We, the workers, who were the backbone of our country's success, were cut out of participating with that logic. The corporations were no longer satisfied with being multi millionaires. They wanted to become multi $Billionaires. One can imagine the cost that was handed out to transfer and ship the numbers of factory's machinery, build new factories in China, set up new equipment and train new workers before getting similar quality control for the same products. However, Reagan and his following of renegades that hated unions and their philosophy of being treated fairly for a days work of quality was shunned with disdain and contempt. Reagan and his group wanted to demonstrate that American and Canadian unions were not going to be listened to and were going to be given a lesson by these bullies. And so began the exodus of our industries, pharmaceuticals and even our computer technology. In the end, Washington helped China become the new world's largest economy and now an equal military powerhouse and perhaps even more powerful than the USA. If it isn't already the most powerful military, China will most certainly be in the next year or two. The people in Washington and Ottawa who were responsible for this dream for the few and nightmare for the many, has come full circle now. The plan now is to bring home these industries but it will be the same mental midgets calling the shots and they'll want to pay Chinese wages to workers in America and Canada. The big question now is, are workers willing to work and sacrifice for the mistakes of our dictators? Do not expect any generosity from these corporate executives nor from our politicians. They are in it for themselves. Your loyalty - if you can muster some for these crooks - will never gain you any respect from these people. It's all about them - not about you or your family. These people have a long and cruel history and nothing has changed there.
And don’t forget Maggie. What a horror show. But Clinton was the one who got all the Neocon’s wet dreams thru. Without him, there’d be no NAFTA. This was after he destroyed the social safety net, and opened up media to the consolidation that currently strangles it.
Strange that all these Western experts know exactly what happened within minutes of the crash, without access to the site, yet they can’t tell us what happened to the Nordstream after a year, with full access to the site, in heavily regulated NATO-waters and with three governments looking into it.
Thank you Scott for that deep and detailed analysis, and you assessment of future prospects. Your knowledge and insights on these matters are unparalleled.
Yet another very well written, honest and articulate peice, thank you Scott.
Clearly the West is wasting no time in trying to capitalise on the deaths, and this behaviour, being normal for the West, is all the anecdotal evidence I need to remain suspicious (in spite of thier incompetentces), that the West somehow was behind this. However, you make a good point regarding the number of people who wished them dead, and that it could also be a mis-packed weapon - self inflicted in a sense.
The timing however speaks volumes - bad for Russia, great for the West (in thier blood-drunk stupor), and immediately following a visibly shaken West losing control of Niger (Uranium anyone?)., it seems as well timed as NordStream attacks, Skripals, and many other Western-created Russian provocations.
However, like you Scott, I wait to hear what Russian investigators reveal, if indeed they can in this particular situation, given the fame and geo-political importance of Wagner and those within.
I have heard that in death, all sins are forgiven, and so, to the Hell to which is reffered, I say - NO you may NOT have them, you will not share in thier glory, or their defeat, and empty will be your cold halls - look elsewhere - for they now reside with immortals.
Hey Roger122! Well said. I think the same thing. It’s what Dylan said years ago—“it all falls there so perfectly, it all looks so well timed.” Or more precisely—cui bono?
Read an article twice. Thing about what you just read than go to other sources you tape into. Be skiptical of everything you read cause spin is constant in every word every sentence.
I am generally skeptical but I see more worth than doubt here.
I'm under my real name, I research, I write. I'm for accountability. In this situation, you should dispute facts with reason, not generalised statement.
While I respect Scott Ritter and believe him to be honest, ethical, well informed and a very competent analyst, I think his emphasis on Russophobia is misplaced. Phobia involves a fear and the situation with the United States Deep State, especially its Democratic Party component, does not involve fear but rather, Machiavellian use of fear they themselves generate knowing it is not warranted, for political purposes, both domestically and internationally. Russia was selected as the optimal target by the Clintons and Obama in 2016 because it was the one bogeyman that the GOP would not reject, which would unite Americans against the Trump administration and other populist leaders, as was done in the now infamous Russiagate plot, a plot not by Russia and Mr. Trump (for whom I do not care), but by the Democratic Party, United States intelligence agencies, the United States Department of Justice, including its Federal Bureau of Investigation, and other federal bureaucrats in order to undo the results of the 2016 federal elections, exactly what they are prosecuting numerous individuals for today, including political leaders and candidates, with respect to the 2020 federal elections. So rather than Russophobia, i.e., fear of Russia, fearmongering concerning Russia in a quest to generate Russophobia is what is involved. Not a new kind of strategy. It is the same formula used by Nazis and other anti-Semites against Jews, and oddly, by Zionists against Muslims.
Scott, based on your analysis, I think we are witnessing a new kind of warfare based on the deployment of strike assets that are bound together with total ISR. With mass artillery and SAM coverage all moving in unison along the line of contact.
It may be that the first 24 months of the Russian SMO were simply the testing phase of Alexander Romanchuk's tactics along the Northern and Southern flanks. As a former Marine living in Europe it seems Romanchuk's tactics are unstoppable. Anyway that is my humble guess. The Prigozhin incident seems to be apart of the military deceptions that are never ending nowadays.
I'll never understand the mind of the terminally greedy power-freaks. This whole fiasco seems to boil down to Prigozhin wanting more, more, and more and then getting pissed off like a little bitch when he didn't get his way. Unfortunately he took it to the stage of treasonously pissing on the Russian Motherland because the Russian MOD decisions cost him some of his billions and billions.
At the end of the day? His own abject greed ultimately got him shot out of the sky. Now the question will remain "by whom" although it is an object lesson to future oligarchs yearning for more money than 100,000 families can spend in a lifetime as well as a seat at the power-table.
Excellent writing Scott! I posted on X and Truth as I agree 100%. I believe Col Doug MacGregor also agrees. He said as much in his interview with Tucker.
In all the commentary around regarding the plane crash which killed Prigozhin, there is one curiosity no one addresses - at least that I have found - so far. There was circulating, immediately after, a video of a plane falling out of the sky, at one point in the fall a big puff of white can be seen coming from it, at which point it begins an irreversible nose dive. We were told this was the plane coming down. There is then another film of shadowy officials standing around a big fire. Yet no one says - as they let us think we are seeing the last moments and death pyre of Prigozhin and company, who took this, and how come they were filming Prigozhins plane as it fell. In the vast expanse of sky, how come they picked the tiny dot that was his plane???
1. You criticize Joe B for shooting his mouth without knowledge, but corrupt ignoramus though he is, the assumptions he makes to express his opinion are no less fact based than your own. The quality of the speculation however is of course as different as it could possibly be.
2. Putin is by any standards of world history an outstanding leader, but he is, with all that, a ruthless indiviidual who rules in grandeur that is truly imperial, and which owes nothing to his personal fortune. We would do well to observe that although he brings a level of duty and integrity to the party un-discernible now anywhere in the West, it is up to us all to change our expectations of our leaders, and impose them with the rigfhteous anger and compassion that must mark humanity's ascent from this Great Shift,.
Contrary to popular propaganda, Putin dose not want a return to the imperial glory days of past tzars, nor does he want to take all of Ukraine. I've been to Russia and do with more people would go here. (It's a far better place to live than the US; my city, which used to be wonderful, is now dirty, crime filled, filled with homeless people that the government doesn't help, etc.) The big cities of Russia...Moscow, St. Petersburg, Pushkin are spotless, not ever a gum wrapper or cigarette butt in the gutter or on the sidewalks...amazing. And no homeless. All that fortune you are told is Putin's, is not. It belongs to the state; he lives modestly. He does not want to take over Ukraine. If you want to know the three reasons he went into Ukraine, listen to his tell you. I've listened to him for hours and read what he's written. I suggest everyone do that for some insight. Putin doesn't lie, I've noticed. Americans can't believe that because our leaders lie every time they open their mouths, as do the British. They get rid of non-liars, such as Jeramy Corbyn and I fear for RFK, Jr.
People should learn what Zelensky is really like; Putin is the opposite.
Excellently put - Putin is the best leader, without peer, and is easily more honest than any other leader in history, certainly current ones. I fear we will never see his like again, in a world that sorely needs wise, mature, level-headed, and honest leaders. I have never been impressed as much by any other leader in history.
He puts to rest the old lie that all politicians lie all the time, most do, but he stands like a giant compared to many in the World.
You are wrong. Sergei Kolesnikov a long time ago blew the whistle on the vast Black Sea complex called by Russians and others Putin's Palace. If you care to look you will see. I agree that Putin's ambitions do not include those touted by the ignorant. He is what he is and your experience of Russia and mine will not change that reality. That said I would prefer him to any Western leader in the G20, and propaganda that has at least some truth to back it is refreshing!
The ammo in the hold theory. I don’t understand how this works. In detail what happens? They were experienced soldiers surely aware of the dangers. If there were explosives the plane would have been blown to pieces. One video shows a plane on fire from the engine. Another has a plane falling not on fire at all. All very confusing.
You assume it was an explosion or explosive ordinance.
A single well placed (accidental or deliberate) shot, from a weapon that maybe was thought to be 'safed', but may not have been, is all it can take to bring an aircraft down.
If a bullet exited through the aircraft bodwork and hit an engine, or fuel tank, control sections, or the wiring/devices controlling these, there may well have been a fire and damage in an engine, which in turn the pilots would have tried to recover from (explaining why two video shots show seemingly different data), which in turn may have caused the aircraft to perform manouevers beyond its structural integrity (and pilots ability to control), thus leading to an unrecoverable impact with the ground, and potentially then causing explosive ordinance onboard (if any) to explode.
I’m pretty familiar with the Russian diaspora. I’m also pretty familiar with Russia and Russians. I don’t see the connection you’re trying to make.
Stranger, go tell the Jews that here lies their Prigozhin, true to their eternal nature: a criminal, an embezzeler, a charlatan, a sower of dischord, a parasite, and a traitor to his host.
Culling White populations and saving”chosen” Whites is a practice seen before by the same two criminal organizations. Nazis and Zionist Jews culled ghetto and inbred Jews in concentration camps. Why? As in the book of Exodus, not all Jews were worthy of the promised land, in this case Rotschild’s fiefdom of Israel. Genocide, culling, eugenics, guiding evolution, and now transhumanism are the pentultimate forms of power on Earth for the twin parasites - Nazi/CIA and Zionist/Jews. Nazis and Zionists are two wings of the same genocidal bird.
Hey Scott, great piece, as usual!
Just wanted to use the opportunity here to clear up a misunderstanding from your Ask The Inspector on Friday. I (Josef from Graz (Austria)) do not believe it was Putin. But my question was edited in way that left some crucial parts out. Anyway who cares, lot's of people do believe it so you could use my question as proxy for that. At least I can say now, Scott ranted because of me! :)
Actually I asked that question because on your first appearance on the Judge about the Prigozhin death, it did sound to me like you believed it highly likely and morally ok for Putin to do it. After your second appearance on the Judge's roundtable it became clear that was not so. I apologize for misunderstanding you the first time around.
Thanks so much for taking my questions! Thanks for being honestly in hot pursuit of the Truth, and bringing whatever you find to the worlds attention!
PS: Just tell Jeff to be a little more careful with editing questions.
Cheers!
Culling White to a smaller “chosen” genetic pool of Whites. Similar to culling ghetto Jews in concentration camps with collaboration between Zionist Jews and Nazis. The remaining Jews were able to claim higher-than-normal IQs. This culling is a red flag for eugenics program that never died. Nazis and Jews are wings of the same genocidal bird.
A lot of news recently has been repetitive but this article is full of new and interesting news especially about Prigozhin who seems to me to have been a power-hungry lunatic. I am appalled that Ritter, obviously because he upset the serial liars, has been censored and hope he finds his way back. He is a favorite reporter of mine.
And mine.

I agree with Scott's assessment that this wasn't Putin's work. Western mainstream news loves blaming everything on Putin to the point where it's just a Pavlovian response. Something happened? Blame Putin. I'm surprised Putin hasn't been blamed for the fires in Maui. Oh, wait, he probaBly has been. There were MANY who had motive and capability, if this was in fact an assassination and not a terrible accident because of incorrectly stowed ordnance. I would put Ukraine and its Western collaborators at the top of that list, especially considering that the plane was shot down on the eve of Ukrainian Independence Day.

I mostly liked your comment, but suggest you go back and read Seymour Hersh's article proving who and how the Russian-Germany pipeline was blown up.
If Putin is a killer, as Biden declares, what does that mean for Biden, who orchestrated the Maidan coup, which perpetuated the Ukraine war with Russia, sending countless Ukrainian Russians to their death with bombings from Washington's supported Nazi killers in Kiev for 8 years before Moscow intervened to stop the indiscriminate murders?
There was a story doing the rounds in rRssia just after Biden declared that Putin was a killer.
Biden declares, I looked into his eyes and saw the soul of a killer.
Putin then looks into Bidens eyes, turns to his interpreter and says "what does it mean, 404 File not found" ?
I’ll have to share that. Brilliant
I'm stealing it.
HA HA HA HA HA!

1. You criticize Joe B for shooting his mouth without knowledge, but corrupt ignoramus though he is, the assumptions he makes to express his opinion are no less fact based than your own. The quality of the speculation however is of course as different as it could possibly be.
2. Putin is by any standards of world history an outstanding leader, but he is, with all that, a ruthless indiviidual who rules in grandeur that is truly imperial, and which owes nothing to his personal fortune. We would do well to observe that although he brings a level of duty and integrity to the party un-discernible now anywhere in the West, it is up to us all to change our expectations of our leaders, and impose them with the rigfhteous anger and compassion that must mark humanity's ascent from this Great Shift,.
Contrary to popular propaganda, Putin dose not want a return to the imperial glory days of past tzars, nor does he want to take all of Ukraine. I've been to Russia and do with more people would go here. (It's a far better place to live than the US; my city, which used to be wonderful, is now dirty, crime filled, filled with homeless people that the government doesn't help, etc.) The big cities of Russia...Moscow, St. Petersburg, Pushkin are spotless, not ever a gum wrapper or cigarette butt in the gutter or on the sidewalks...amazing. And no homeless. All that fortune you are told is Putin's, is not. It belongs to the state; he lives modestly. He does not want to take over Ukraine. If you want to know the three reasons he went into Ukraine, listen to his tell you. I've listened to him for hours and read what he's written. I suggest everyone do that for some insight. Putin doesn't lie, I've noticed. Americans can't believe that because our leaders lie every time they open their mouths, as do the British. They get rid of non-liars, such as Jeramy Corbyn and I fear for RFK, Jr.
People should learn what Zelensky is really like; Putin is the opposite.
Excellently put - Putin is the best leader, without peer, and is easily more honest than any other leader in history, certainly current ones. I fear we will never see his like again, in a world that sorely needs wise, mature, level-headed, and honest leaders. I have never been impressed as much by any other leader in history.
He puts to rest the old lie that all politicians lie all the time, most do, but he stands like a giant compared to many in the World.
Thank you. Sorry for all my typos you kindly overlooked. R
You are wrong. Sergei Kolesnikov a long time ago blew the whistle on the vast Black Sea complex called by Russians and others Putin's Palace. If you care to look you will see. I agree that Putin's ambitions do not include those touted by the ignorant. He is what he is and your experience of Russia and mine will not change that reality. That said I would prefer him to any Western leader in the G20, and propaganda that has at least some truth to back it is refreshing!

If only we could. Let's click our heels 3 times and see if our wish comes true. I've bee tapping my heels together since Vietnam... It ain't working.
The ammo in the hold theory. I don’t understand how this works. In detail what happens? They were experienced soldiers surely aware of the dangers. If there were explosives the plane would have been blown to pieces. One video shows a plane on fire from the engine. Another has a plane falling not on fire at all. All very confusing.
You assume it was an explosion or explosive ordinance.
A single well placed (accidental or deliberate) shot, from a weapon that maybe was thought to be 'safed', but may not have been, is all it can take to bring an aircraft down.
If a bullet exited through the aircraft bodwork and hit an engine, or fuel tank, control sections, or the wiring/devices controlling these, there may well have been a fire and damage in an engine, which in turn the pilots would have tried to recover from (explaining why two video shots show seemingly different data), which in turn may have caused the aircraft to perform manouevers beyond its structural integrity (and pilots ability to control), thus leading to an unrecoverable impact with the ground, and potentially then causing explosive ordinance onboard (if any) to explode.
Hopefully there will be a scientific report. CSI style!
