Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin listed as passenger on plane which crashed with no survivors, Russian aviation authority says – live
Russian mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin was listed as a passenger on a private jet which crashed north of Moscow on Wednesday, the TASS news agency reported, citing Rosaviatsia, Russia’s aviation authority.
“An investigation has been launched into the Embraer plane crash that occurred tonight in the Tver region. According to the passenger list, among them is the name and surname of Yevgeny Prigozhin,” Rosaviatsia said.
Earlier TASS had reported that ten people had died after a private jet crashed in Russia’s Tver region north of Moscow. The jet, en route from Moscow to St Petersburg, was carrying seven passengers and three crew.
UPDATE 2:46 PM EDT --
This situation seems to be spinning out of control VERY fast.
Videos have emerged from inside Russia showing various angles of the plane coming down out of the sky. Those videos appear below - For SUBSCRIBERS Only --, but ONE of the videos __seems__ to show what __appears__ to be a smoke trail from a ground-launched missile!
Now, the official TELEGRAM channel of Wagner PMC “Grey Zone” is claiming that the Business Jet owned by Yevgeny Prigozhin which has Crashed in the Tver Region of Russia was shot down by the Russian Military.
UPDATE 3:31 PM EDT --
The TELEGRAM channels of groups affiliated with Wagner PMC are saying if the death of the head of the PMC Wagner Prigozhin was confirmed, they would organize a second "March of Justice" to Moscow
RUMORS ARE FLYING WHICH CLAIM THE U.S. DID THIS, WITH SPACE-BASED WEAPONS, BECAUSE THE CIA PAID PRIGOZHIN $6 BILLION TO OVERTHROW PUTIN, BUT PRIGOZHIN TOOK THE MONEY AND ALERTED PUTIN INSTEAD.
With such talk coming out of Wagner-related social media accounts, The American Embassy in Minsk, Belarus (The country where Wagner is presently located) is being evacuated.
UPDATE 6:11 PM EDT --
Claims coming-in now which are saying that the “evacuation of PMC Wagner fighters from Belarus to Russia begins. An Il-76 aircraft of the Ministry of Defense has arrived in Belarus at the Machulishchi airfield, close to where the Wagner camp is situated.”
Not certain WHY Russia would "evacuate" men from Wagner PMC from Belarus, unless Russia shot down Progozhin's plane and they want to be able to control what the Wagner guys are able to do over that????? All questions. No answers. Yet.
"The assassination of Prigozhin would have catastrophic consequences. The people who gave the order do not understand the mood in the army and the morale at all", - Russian Voenkor Roman Saponkov
A source in Prigozhin's entourage: "Yevgeny Prigozhin had a plan of Wagner PMC operations in case of his death. The details of this plan are not disclosed."
RUMOR ****** RUMOR ****** "They may deliberately make an incursion into Poland to trigger a NATO Article 5 response into Belarus, which in turn would have the Russian military respond as punishment to Russia for Killing Prigozhin." -- ***** THIS IS THE CURRENT RUMOR****** ONLY RUMOR ******
Prominent Russian Telegram channel VChK-OGPU: "Bodies of Prigozhin and Utkin discovered and identified"
Mobile phone signal disruptions being reported in the village of Tsel, close to the Wagner camp in Belarus - Belarus Hajun project
Russian media is reporting that Wagner Group commanders will make an announcement soon.
The Belarusian authorities have cut off the internet in the area of the main Wagner Group camp in the Tale Village in Belarus. Looks like Putin and Lukashenko are trying to stop the Wagner Group from communicating with each other and coordinating a quick response.

NUCLEAR MISSILE VIDEO
just-in from Moscow, Russia, shows what I am told is a "TOPOL-M" Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) on a Transporter-Erector-Launcher (TEL) Truck, in downtown Moscow, Russia, right now.
WHY the Russian government would move a missile like this, through the city of Moscow, at this hour, is completely unklnown to me. But given what is taking place today, my gut tell me this is really, REALLY no good.

Despite being politely asked for voluntary donations, few people ever bothered to donate. Then, despite being asked to click an ad within a story to generate ad revenue for this site, the majority of the general public couldn't be bothered with that, either. So there's no reason to give the general public free news anymore; they don't pull their own weight.
With tens-of-thousands of people reading stories here every day, the costs nearly drove the site out of business.
In order to be able to continue providing cutting-edge news, often hours or even DAYS before Drudge and most of the "mass-media" -- if they even cover it at all -- I need to be able to sustain this effort. To do that, I rely on folks like YOU contributing a pittance of about $1 a week; which is chump-change that you won't even miss! Yet that small amount makes all the difference in the world to the continued existence of this web site.
In the final analysis, knowledge is power. Getting information first, or info that other sources simply don't report, is usually well worth a few bucks in the long run.
