Prigozhin's murder was organized by Nikolay Patrushev, Secretary of the Security Council of Russia - The Wall Street Journal.
According to the WSJ, Patrushev warned Putin that relying on Prigozhin and his mercenaries in the war with Ukraine was giving Prigozhin more and more influence and posing a threat to the Kremlin. When Prigozhin started the mutiny, Patrushev saw it as an opportunity to get rid of the PMC head permanently.
Patrushev started warning Putin about the danger of Prigozhin back in the summer of 2022, according to the WSJ, but Putin did not listen to him as the Wagnerites were making progress on the battlefield. According to the publication's interlocutor, a former Russian intelligence officer, that changed in October 2022.
That's when Prigozhin allegedly called Putin and complained in crude terms about ammunition shortages leading to heavy casualties. Patrushev was in Putin's office at the time, the WSJ source claims. The head of the Security Council felt that Prigozhin had become dangerous and no longer respected the Kremlin's authority.
Putin ignored Prigozhin's subsequent complaints about the supply and including public conflicts with Russia's military leadership - and did not answer any calls from the head of the PMC, the WSJ writes. In June 2023, when Prigozhin started the mutiny, Patrushev "took control," according to the material.
The head of the Security Council called officers sympathetic to Prigozhin and asked them to persuade the head of Wagner PMC to stop the mutiny, according to the WSJ sources. Patrushev was also looking for mediators to resolve the conflict in neighboring countries. In addition to Lukashenko (who eventually became such a mediator), it was the president of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.
In case the Russian army could not contain the mercenaries, Kazakhstan's armed forces were supposed to help - as a return favor for the introduction of CSTO forces in January 2022, the WSJ sources claim. Tokayev, however, refused.
After the rebellion ended, Patrushev began to develop an assassination plan. According to the publication's sources from Western intelligence services, Putin was later shown these plans and he did not object. On August 23, the head of the PMC waited at Sheremetyevo airport until his plane was checked and prepared for departure. At that moment, a small bomb was planted under the wing, according to the WSJ interlocutors in the Western intelligence services.
The bomb exploded half an hour after takeoff at an altitude of about 8,500 meters. All ten people on board were killed. The Kremlin denies involvement in Prigozhin's death.

Trump's war on Iran is causing Gulf states to reassess their relationship with the U.S. and look to diversify their foreign partnerships:
"Many believe he dragged the Gulf into a war shaped heavily by Israel, without sharing a plan and acting hastily and without fully weighing the political and economic fallout for allies."
The U.S. is simply torching its diplomatic leverage for Israeli interests.

AI as it is currently understood is not mere technology, but a system of total technological domination over the public. Just as institutions and people have already ceded too much of cyberspace to the cloud, we are in danger of offering even more of our lives and society on the altar of centralized computing. The ‘singularity’ was never to be an economic or technological boon, but rather the mere collapse of society under the weight of digital totalitarianism. Naked human dominance and tyranny was the face behind the techno-utopian mask. A generation was evicted from the ideal of home ownership by the combination of a variety of economic and social forces, it would seem that the same is taking place in cyberspace. ‘Hardware is the new homes’, as the public becomes priced out of securing a modest home server.

Iran War Hits Cyber, Food, Energy: Stryker Cyberattack, India Fertilizer Stoppage
Iran's escalating war is now striking on multiple fronts: massive cyber wiper attacks + real-world food and energy disruptions:
Handala (Iran-linked)'s cyberattack on Stryker wiped data from 200,000 devices, halting operations. India's fertilizer production stopped due to LNG shortages, right before planting season.
Fuel rationing hits West Australia (emergency-only sales) and Bangladesh, while Vietnam, South Korea, and Pakistan impose work-from-home, price caps, and austerity measures like 4-day work weeks.
This isn't hypothetical anymore—cyber pandemic warnings from IBM/WEF-linked reports are playing out alongside engineered shortages impacting global rice, wheat, cotton, and sugar supplies. The technocrats are engineering crises, managing perceptions as they cast blow after blow on supply chains. Start gardening now!
