I heard that the plane fell out of a window.

Rest in pieces.

I think it was the hairdresser who was the main target.

I am saddened that you failed to consider the possibilities that either Elon Musk or Donald Trump could have been behind the tragic loss of this great humanist. After all, both were envious of Prigozhin, and angered by his theft of the spotlight together with the distraction of so many of their supporters. I wonder, who will get the rights to Wagner's swell logo?

"Yevgeny had enraged environmentalists by flying around in a private jet, leading to suspicions Extinction Rebellion might have brought the jet down out of spite. However, rebel leader Greta Thunberg has denied responsibility and authorities have confirmed she is not a suspect."

I wanted to share this because it's snort-worthy, but also because I keep thinking someone will eventually take this and run with it, and make it into a bona-fide conspiracy theory. Qanon, Flatearth, and Birds Aren't Real all started as jokes.

Are you saying bird's are real?

Birds aren't real, but dinosaurs are.

I think it would make a boffo movie script -- once the writers' strike is over, of course.

Brilliant!!

Evidently, it’s been reported the plane received a suspicious plain white envelope with an unidentified white powder inside. Throwing caution to the wind, the plane snorted it. We all know the rest.

Ah but, as my son says when watching Star Wars' 'Clone wars', if you don't see a dead body, they are probably not dead. I think some governments regimes use Star Wars as a blueprint.

That's been a trope since long before Star Wars. In any murder mystery or thriller, if there's a missing body, the live person will eventually show up in the story.

You'd think Russia never heard of OSHA compliance.

Gross to see how many people are prepared to laugh about a plane crash, just because of what the news has told you about Russia, Putin and Prigozhin. Yes, surely the only reason people who know Putin have died is that HE killed them - of course our saintly intel services would never do such a thing. It's not like it plays into the western narrative of Putin being an evil dictator or anything

Meanwhile in Pakistan, the very popular former PM Imran Khan has been taken into custody for a second time since he was removed from power back in April 2022. By sheer coincidence, the US had been furious over his "agressive neutrality" towards Russia, and well, there's the matter of this leaked diplomatic cable that just appeared the other day - whereby the State Dept was encouraging Khan's removal. The idea the US would help inititate regime change in Pakistan and engage with its military is just some looney idea put forth by the same loonies who believe this is what the US does routinely (or tries to do anyway) at least 46 other times since Hitler died (but who is counting other than Professor Lindsay O'Rourke of Boston College?). Anyway the US denies the whole thing and you can tell they feel quite offended at the suggestion. And even John Bolton who couldn't stand Imran said he'd be surprised if Biden couped the man. But with sleepy Joe, you just never know. I mean some say he ordered the Nordstream pipeline to be demolished after promising he'd bring an end to it if Russia invaded Ukraine. And just like Yevgeny Prigozhin's plane - it too went boom! One important Polish guy tweeted Thank you USA, but then deleted the tweet because it was embarrassing when they denied it. All these coincidences. What a funny world!

The enjoyment is a guilty pleasure.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻, especially for this gem: "tributes to Yevgeny Prigozhin have poured in from across the world. Rishi Sunak said he is “devastated to have lost a potential Tory donor”, Joe Biden simply said “Who?” and Volodymyr Zelenskyy laughed uncontrollably. We all grieve in our own ways."

He was warned to stay away from windows but no one told him there were other ways to make him not alive. Nobody could possibly have seen this coming 🙄
