Who is behind the attempted coup in Russia?

I posted an article yesterday, less than two hours before news broke of the coup attempt taking place in Russia. In that article, I posited that the U.S. and its European allies would do almost anything, risk any outcome, for the prize of taking down Russia.

In a previous article posted on March 20, I explained why the Western powers feel they cannot fully move forward with their Great Reset of the world economy as long as there is a strongly sovereign Russia in place.

Now, this. The coup. It smells of a CIA operation but we will have to wait and see if that is indeed the case.

In the meantime, I’m not the only one whose senses have picked up the stench of a Western intelligence operation.

Listen to Russia expert Rebekah Koffler’s comments below in the 2-minute clip below.

This coup is being led by the Wagner private mercenary group headed by Yevgeny Prigozhin. Questions about the motives behind Prigozhin’s bold action looms large. Mercenaries work for money. The leader of this particular mercenary group is a businessman, not a military man. Could he have been convinced to switch sides for the right amount of money? Only time will tell as the events begin to play out.

But if this uprising lasts more than a few days, a week at most, then I would say the chances increase that Russia could be going down and will no longer exist as a unified and strong sovereign nation.

And if Putin believes he’s going down, and if he believes the U.S./NATO is responsible for instigating this coup, that makes him more dangerous than he was before the coup. This could all backfire on the West. Even if the West is not involved, if Putin believes they are, we have to worry about what his response will be.

It’s interesting to me how the Western press tries to make Putin out to be a madman not in full control of his faculties, and yet they also try to assure us that the risk of Putin nuking us is very low. How can you have it both ways? He’s either a madman fully capable of pushing the button, or he is not. If he is not, then why aren’t we sitting down to negotiate with him and end this war?

My best guess at this point is that Putin will put down the rebellion rather quickly and restore order (In fact there are already some reports of Wagner beginning to withdraw its troops from Rostov). Then we get to sit back and wait for the next Western chess move aimed at regime change. A false flag attack maybe?

In my March 20 article I explained why the Western powers have no interest in peace with Russia and are intent on causing Russia’s destruction. I have pulled the pertinent section of that article below:

This all leads to the trillion dollar question: Why is the U.S. and NATO so intent on driving Putin to his demise?

Remember our first rule of warfare – that all wars are fought over resources – and I think you have your answer.

Western globalists envision a technocratic one-world system where everyone is tracked, monitored and given a score based on their carbon footprint, their use of resources.

In order to do that, they must remove from the global market all sources of reliable, cheap energy, which boils down to coal, oil and gas.

Since taking over Russia from the feckless Boris Yeltsin, Mr. Putin has embarked on a rebuilding effort aimed at restoring Russian dominance over its immediate neighborhood but the U.S. grudge with Putin is even bigger than that.

The U.S. and European powers have committed to a global plan that requires all nations to transition from oil/coal/gas as the foundation of their economies to a so-called “net zero” economy where no nation is allowed to thrive on cheap fossil fuels, other than of course China, to which they’ve outsourced our industrial base. In order to be successful, the misery must be spread around the globe. Why do you think U.S. relations have also soured with Saudi Arabia? It’s because the Saudis, like Putin, still want to sell their only real resource, oil, at a price of their choosing.

Putin wants to continue selling cheap oil and gas to Europe and China. That’s a direct threat to Western hegemony and the petro dollar, because how does the U.S. and its allies compete with cheap oil and gas when they’re relying on more expensive and less reliable wind and solar? If that’s allowed the petro dollar goes caput.

In short, the globalists’ Great Reset and the Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals can’t be fully implemented as long as Putin is out there selling Russia’s vast natural resources to whomever Putin wishes at whatever prices Putin wants to charge.

So the main reason Russia must be destroyed is economic, but there are also religious reasons.

It has become obvious to all that the governing elites in the U.S., Canada and Western Europe have gone all-in with pushing a cultural transformation that elevates the LGBTQ+, gay marriage, transhumanism, abortion up to birth agenda above traditional values. Those not on board with this transformation have been labeled as haters and potential enemies of the state. Russia, which is still tethered to the more traditional values espoused by Orthodox Christianity, is not willing to go there with the West.

So we are witnessing a showdown between East and West, between those in the West desiring a fundamental transformation, a “new normal,” a reshaping of humanity and the economic, religious and social values that have characterized human existence for thousands of years, and those in the East who remain happy with the old normal.

Pray for peace and a return to calm. Pray for the truth to come out. But in the end, Thy will be done!

  1. Leo–brilliant! Your explanation of the why is both extremely plausible for laymen-understanding and perfectly timely. I’m so grateful for your sharing. Indeed, I believe this is my favorite of the many wonders Yahweh has equipped you to share as we continue to occupy in this Esther 4:14 era. Psalm 121…may He bless your going out and your coming in. Thank you so much.

  3. Seems like Putin handled this Wagner “mutiny” was real skill and was able to turn events around within 24 hours. Remarkable! Even more remarkable is that Putin did NOT react as Hitler or Stalin had in similar situations—he didn’t send the army at the Wagner convoy to attack and massacre them to the last man as a typical dictator would have. He let them go—saying he respected their past service–I don’t think he did this is out of weakness. The West was expecting him to brutally crush them, but he acted completely contrary to the “script” and came off looking merciful instead. The Wagner group will return peacefully to the front lines and those who did not participate in this run will be allowed to join the regular Russian army, as was originally planned by the MOD. I suppose the contracts of the others will not be renewed and Prigozhin will go into retirement.

    Just shows once again that Putin does not jump through western black ops hoops or does what our politicos expect. IMO, He’s shaping up to be one of the truly great leaders of Russia, if not of our times. Respect! He’s quite a chess player.

    1. I hear that Putin is a master chess player. We were told by George Bush around 2001 that they hate us for our freedoms in reference to the alleged muslim terrorists. It’s the wicked US leadership that’s hated around the world. But we won’t hear that from the MSN or from the satanic regime in DC and the satanists working in every state government to my knowledge. I can only imagine how much better life would be in the US and the in the world if some folks in the US would at least make daily efforts to abide by the US Constitution. Or better yet, seek God and endeavor to obey His word.

      1. Amen Anne! I would only add this: That arrogant way of thinking (we are better than them) also continues to have a stronghold within much of the conservative media. I have lost quite a few readers on this website in recent weeks because I have been calling out that hypocritical spirit and trying to shed light on the many sins of America and the others in the NATO alliance. That’s a hard pill to swallow but, as Jesus said, it’s unwise to always focus on the speck in our enemies’ eyes while ignoring the rock in our own!

  4. CIA ot MI 5 had nothing to do with this circus. Looks to me the Russian Army in Belarus got the best general for the job of striking Kiev. This wasn’t a coup it was a promotion. The whole performance was perfectly executed !! Just brilliant strategy by Mr.Putin.The ENDING was just incredible with Belorussia and Chechens coming to the rescue….Zelensky and collective Western elites and media had a multi-orgasmic tantrum !! How can they even begin to believe that Prigozhin would be able to survive a day when the 1st posted the video criticizing top military brass and Putin came out 2-3 months ago !! He would have been toasted the next day !! So, now he goes to Belorussia, there is a very good reason he is going there ( Poland and their master USA have been preparing a coup against Belorussia for a very long time ) !!! This was absolutely an OSCAR performance as majority of the world fell for it !! Soon we’ll see the reason for these Russian theatrics !! For now here’s this…. In The Art of War, Sun Tzu says, “Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.” Learn how to master the art of deception.

  5. “Russia’s security service has reportedly found £38million in cash after raiding the Wagner HQ in St Petersburg.”

    Most mercenaries fight for money. They will have no loyalty to a leadership who is unable to pay their wages. So if they don’t get paid they could quickly turn on their leadership.

    I reckon this is why the mercenary leadership had a change of heart.

    “Yevgeny Prigozhin is starting a life in exile in Belarus this morning”

    Here is a definition of a mercenary
    “person primarily concerned with material reward at the expense of ethics:”

    Putin is a master politician and he will endeavour to keep the mercenaries on his side by offering them a deal. If the deal is acceptable then I believe that the mercenaries will happily change their allegiances to Putin.

  6. This is exactly why my motto is: “You never know till you know.” Wait and see and eventually the facts will rise to the surface. We saw it with covid and the jab and just about everything else. But what happens? The media broadcasts their narrative of the ‘facts,’ and all of a sudden everyone is clamoring around beating the same drum, and they know squat about it. The media could say the exact opposite a day later and either way they have no evidence to support one view or evidence to refute another view. But oh, they are so cock sure of themselves, are they not? And don’t you dare disagree with them or you are smacked with a label of some derogatory sort! And after some more time passes, we are proven right and they are proven wrong and off they go, slinking quickly away into the shadows with their tail between their legs, having to eat their words and hear “I told you so!” Well, they live up to the saying; “Fools rush in!” You just never know. Wait and be slow to decide and wise about all your decisions at all times. Even after the facts came out about the jab and the media lies, oop, next thing you know the media is off with the next one, the race horse is out of the stall, and many who were wise enough to avoid the shot just jumped on that next horse and took off, waving their yellow and blue furiously, the pawns in the next game of ‘false flag’! But alas, so go the masses. And the globalists know this all too well!

  7. I doubt it not that North American mis-leadership and her wicked allies around the world could be involved in a coup against Russia. These misfits are at war against every nation that doesn’t want to play ball with them. If American leaders and her allies will mandate and allow bio-weapons to be administered under the pretext of being medicines, fund and allow bio-weapons labs to exist around in the world. It’s foolish and unwise to expect anything better from them whether at home or abroad. And that’s only two atrocities mentioned out of hundreds or thousands committed at the hands of US leadership, corporations, mercenaries, the WOKE military bunch, intelligence and law enforcement agencies.

    It has become increasingly apparent on this end that the US is one of the leading nations that will help to usher in the satanic new world order beast system. One glimmer of hope here about this issue is this: The sooner that it rises. The sooner it will be crushed and brought to desolation by the divine power and the will of God. I’ve been meaning to read Mike King’s book titled “The War Against Putin” written a few years ago. I find it amazing that the perpetrators of evil are always accusing someone else of being guilty of every evil deed they themselves are partakers of.

  8. I also suspect that the O’Biden regime and WEF is behind the move to take out Putin …. to protect their vested interests in Ukraine 🇺🇦 and for the NWO takeover. We know Putin used to be involved with the WEF, but he has his own goals for power – the revival of the U.S.S.R ( and eventually setting sights on Israel and their riches) … Putin is not one to bow to a global takeover – Just like Xi Jinping (have to wonder what promises he is getting from the WEF), selling his communist doctrines to help the WEF gain full control over people.

  9. Crisis over. Lukashenko stepped in and mediated with Prigozhin. Violence and/or civil war averted. There may be some arrests of the leaders (as this was a serious event). The Duran had a good analysis on their locals about this development. We live in interesting times. A historian will have a lot of work to document our strange times.

Putin has always been the moderate and has been struggling with the hard-liners in his government, let alone having to deal with the warmongering irrational West. This incident aggravates that inner conflict even more. Putin looks angry and I hope he can keep this under control. The world needs prayers.

    2. Whatever Putin’s faults. I must admit that he appears to be more sane, reasonable and level-headed than most politicians in the US or the rest of the world. I believe too that Putin recognizes that there is a higher power at work in the universe greater than rebellious, ungodly, self-willed satan worshipers. No doubt on this end that such types of people will persist in their wickedness until they are destroyed by the hand of God. Then they will live out an eternity knowing, and experiencing that it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

      1. No offense taken Leo. I would not call JR’s work propaganda but analysis based on history and research. JR is cold war analyst. He has studied communism and communist tactics and written several known books. He believes that the collapse of USSR was planned–I consent to that opinion but also believe in the reality of globalists are another breed. JR’s readers and those who comment on his blog site tend to be in agreement on his thesis and do offer alternate construct to view current history. And they tend to be opinionated. I have been reading your site for several years. I believe the truth claims about communism and globalism etc are covered over by a lot of smoke and mirrors that are making it really difficult to parse out–time will reveal it. A lot we dont know for certain. Same thing as the truths concerning Pearl Harbor and aspects of 911. Come Lord Jesus is the only thing we know with certainity. Thanks.

He uses brute authority to govern Russia, but that is exactly the type of leader the majority of Russians desire. They see where liberalism has taken the West and want no part of it.

      4. Arnold, beware of the neocons. They are a particularly noxious and bloodthirsty scourge upon the earth. But they control both major political parties and have the mainstream media in their pockets so they are able to keep the American people deceived through an endless stream of propaganda. So when a so-called conservative analyst is putting out material that mimics that of the neocons, we should be skeptical. Watch video below.

  14. Seems that this started out some months ago as a contract dispute. The tipping point may be when the Ministry of Defence had recently required that the private armies, like Wagner Group, must come under the command of the regular Russian army by July, which would mean leaders like Prigozhin would lose their command. Prigozhin’s controversy is directed at Shoigu, the Minister of Defence, not Putin. Prigozhin’ s rash words and behavior will get him arrested and put on trial for treason or mutiny. The Russian people are not behind Prigozhin, but rather Putin, and many there reportedly assume the West may be behind this. Putin should have dealt with Prigozhin months ago when he began shooting off his mouth so disrespectfully about the Russian leadership, for now it progressed to mutiny and that is not good optics. Sometimes Putin moves too slowly. Anyway, this hands the West an issue to exploit through propaganda, which some observers say may affect how the Global South and China views the stability of Russia.

    Lessons for Russia to learn about military control and private armies, and I expect they will be quick learners. They will not make the same mistakes in future, so the West had better not expect to reap any rewards if ever we encounter them on a battlefield. Some observers have compared this to a similar situation when the French officers/OAS planned a coup against French president Charles de Gaulle in the 1960s. He overcame them and was stronger in the end. Putin, too, will come down hard on Progozhin and will likely disband the Wagner Group. Just hope the US/UK black ops stays out of it, but it’s awfully hard for our leaders to resist an opportunity to make things geopolitically worse. While the West is gleeful that Prigozhin sent his troops take over Rostov-on-Don, he is far from being in range to attack Moscow (700 kilometers away) and no way would he be allowed to get any closer.

    We’ll see what happens over the next few days.

    The group did shoot down aircraft so there have been casualties. So if Putin just agrees and lets them all go what does that say? Unless thats fake news?

      1. Excellent commentary, Leo and videos by Rebekah Koffler and the Canadian Prepper!

        This is such treachery on the part of Lindsey Graham and all the other U.S. government and NATO officials involved. They are gambling with all of our lives! And look what they’ve done to the innocent civilians of Ukraine since this war started – the death and destruction of entire families and villages – millions fleeing, probably never able to return.

        But that’s what they’re all about – moving us around like little pawns in their power games. The whole thing is so sick!

        A month ago I watched this Redacted video interviewing Alexander Mercouris, host of The Duran: “This is an incredibly DANGEROUS moment – Putin activates nuclear arsenal to highest level.” The discussion centered on the drone attack against the Kremlin:

        They pretty much echoed what you’ve said all along, Leo, as well as the Canadian Prepper that this meddling by the West is to get Russia to ratchet up the warfare. Mercouris pointed out that Putin has been trying to exercise restraint, but more combative hardliners in his military and others like the Wagner group have been agitating for a stronger lethal response, and that it’s been putting pressure on him. The U.S. and NATO want the heat turned up so he becomes a “Mad Vlad.”

        But as we’ve all seen since this video was made, in spite of activating his nuclear arsenal, Putin still kept things under control. I don’t doubt at all that the West likely collaborated with the Wagner group to try to stir the fire again to get the flames to leap higher.

        And if this latest tactic doesn’t work either, they’ll create another – “Never waste a good crisis.”

        You know that anything they plan will always include contingencies to save their own skins. No bomb shelters for the American people, but they have their nuclear bunkers.

        Where were the rest of the Republicans when Graham came out with this???

        If I had written the article, I would have substituted “eager anticipation” for “high concern” n the following smoke and mirrors by this regime:

        “U.S. intelligence has “high concern” a potential “civil war” and a threat to Vladimir Putin would potentially destabilize the control of Russia’s vast nuclear arsenal.”

        “Concern” when they are triggering it? Do they think we’re all stupid?
