The Wagner armed group’s rebellion against Russian authority has taken everyone by surprise, starting with the man targeted by this veritable insurrection, Vladimir Putin.

But it’s not just the Russian president and his ministers who have been taken by surprise by the capabilities and intentions of Wagner’s leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin. It seems that the West, which had been tracking Russia’s internal power struggles “for months”, reports CNN, was too.

So it’s a surreal series of events that the whole world has been witnessing for less than 24 hours, as the first reports of a rebellion, which the Russian authorities describe as “treason” and even a real “coup d’état”, were transmitted and confirmed via social networks and traditional media.

While it’s difficult to predict the outcome of this revolt on the part of Warner and Prigozhin, who claim to have seized two strategic points in Russia, experts agree that we could be witnessing Vladimir Putin’s last moments as President of Russia.

Many analysts are also worried about how Putin will react once he has his back against the wall.

By all calculations, OceanGate’s makeshift submersible, the Titan, has run out of oxygen and the five passengers on board for an expedition to see the remains of the Titanic seem to be now doomed.

Experts agree that oxygen reserves are now exhausted, while the group’s chances of survival were estimated at only 96 hours – and even then, these were optimistic proposals, not including certain factors such as CO2 emissions, for example.

The search continues for the OceanGate submersible, whose use and construction methods have attracted criticism and warnings for years, but the chances of finding its crew are now virtually nil.

While it was already known that all hopes of finding the passengers of the small exploration submarine reported missing since last Sunday were now in vain, since the estimated air reserve had been exhausted according to expert calculations, it finally seems that the Titan has catastrophically imploded, killing all the passengers on board.

According to CNN, Pelagic Research Services has discovered two large debris fields on the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean, nearly 1,600 feet from the wreck of the Titanic.

“The debris is consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the ship,” a U.S. Coast Guard spokesman tragically confirmed at a press conference.

Sufficiently large pieces of the exterior of the ship’s pressure chamber were among the debris, unfortunately leaving no doubt as to the fate of the crew.

“Our thoughts are with the families today,” added the US Coast Guard spokesman.

A sad end for the families of the missing, who were still holding out hope with all the resources deployed by several countries to find and rescue the Titan and its passengers.

Did the Trump clan deliberately flood a Mar-a-Lago room containing the servers for the surveillance system at the former president’s Florida residence?

At least, that’s what prosecutors think in the case over the top secret documents held at Mar-a-Lago, by the former president, and illegally!

According to CNN and the prosecutors on the case, after a series of rather dubious events, an employee allegedly drained the Mar-a-Lago swimming pool last October, and the water ended up very suspiciously in the Mar-a-Lago basement room where the computer system and surveillance video recordings of the entire golf club, including Trump’s personal residence, would be.

The troubling incident reportedly came some time after a second request from the FBI and Justice Department to retain additional surveillance camera footage related to the case.

A Mar-a-Lago employee was reportedly met by prosecutors following the bizarre incidents, and according to CNN, computer equipment was fortunately not damaged in the flood.

But now we learn tonight (June 8) that Donald Trump will be charged with at least seven counts related to the Mar-A-Lago documents case!

Stay tuned…

Just over a year after being named CEO of CNN, Chris Licht has finally been sacked, and this after a series of bad decisions and an absolutely catastrophic Town Hall with former president and US presidential candidate Donald Trump.

There’s been a noticeably more rightward turn at CNN of late, under Licht’s instructions, and protests from the network’s loyal listeners have been rife, and have been for months… those same listeners leaving the network for good, red flags the new CEO seemingly ignored!

But it was the controversial Town Hall with Trump that was of course the nail in Licht’s coffin, instantly attracting nearly three million viewers, but with devastating repercussions for the fanbase in the days that followed!

Several executives, including David Leavy, will take over at CNN while the network finds a new CEO, and let’s hope he or she succeeds in restoring CNN’s precious credibility lost over the past year!

A verdict has come in the civil lawsuit between former U.S. President Donald Trump and E. Jean Carroll, and it came just hours after deliberations began.

Jury in federal civil case finds Donald Trump sexually abused E. Jean Carroll and then defamed her when he denied ithttps://t.co/A1XmxmVwe3

— CNN (@CNN) May 9, 2023

The jury agreed that Trump was guilty of assaulting Carroll in 1996 in the backroom of a Manhattan, New York store and using defamatory language toward her when she decided to come forward.

As a result, Trump will have to pay nearly $2 million to Carroll for the assault, in addition to nearly $3 million for defamation… for a total of nearly $5 million!

Trump has already fired back at the verdict on his Truth Social, once again claiming he is the victim of a witch hunt.

“I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHO THIS WOMAN IS. THIS VERDICT IS A DISGRACE – A CONTINUATION OF THE GREATEST WITCH HUNT OF ALL TIME!” he wrote… in capital letters.

It should be noted that the verdict was rendered in civil matters, since the statute of limitations for a criminal trial had expired.

It’s the end for Tucker Carlson, one of America’s most popular right-wing hosts, at Fox News, as the separation was confirmed, effective immediately, via a statement from Fox News Media.

Since the election of Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson had become increasingly embroiled in far-right conspiracies, telling his millions of viewers about fraudulent theories about the U.S. election, including leading to a lawsuit by the Dominion voting system against the Fox network.

This is certainly the first major change for the network, which was just forced to pay $787.5 million following the defamation settlement in favor of Dominion last week.

Will other hosts like Sean Hannity or Laura Ingraham, who also spread lies to their millions of loyal listeners, soon follow?

Don Lemon, a CNN stalwart who recently drew attention for sexist and highly unflattering comments about women, including some of his own colleagues, has finally been fired by the network.

The host himself made the announcement in a statement posted on Twitter, and he did not look happy about it.

Recently suspended by the network for saying women past a certain age were not in their prime anymore, while talking about a presidential candidate, Don Lemon was also just recently at the center of a damaging article by Variety.
