The Chef's Saucerer's Internet Research Agency's Disinfolklore provoked the division in England and in the USA that delivered Brexit and Trump.
As
argues in "Brexit" was the Kompromat.England's establishment was split into two by a Russian Active Measure operation that The Chef was a key part of.
The pro-Brexit side became complicit in the conspiracy against English democracy that was constructed in The Chef's St Petersburg troll factory. The pro-Brexit side, through The Chef’s Russian War Magic and its own complicity in the Great Brexit troll, became willing to sacrifice England's constitution, cohesive society, reputation as creator and propagator of human rights and, even, its own food supply on the Altar of Brexit that The Chef's Disinfolklore had embedded into even the remotest crevices of these Brexiteers’ Disinfolklore-addled minds.
Those who fell for the Trump Troll, rather than expose their own complicity in a Russian Active Measure (many refuse to realise they fell into), even today, defend the Jan 6th coup and an insurrectionist former president.
Through their Brexit and Trump magical successes The Chef's built up serious capital and power. The Chef's no longer a mere puppet of Putin. He was and perhaps still is Putin's most likely successor.
The Chef's work in Ukraine with the Nazi Wanger group was to do for the Chef's electoral prospects, what Chechnya did for Putin's: both are Underground Men. In the parlance of Russian prison argot - they’re roosters. Beholden to the nomenclature, in whichever milieu they find themselves within, despite the Disinfolklore-created mystique.
The Chef was given the leading role in execution of all of Russia’s foiled plans to conquer Ukraine, except Plan E.
Plan A: War Magic scares President Zelenskyy from Kyiv. Russian patsies in Ukraine usurp power, sign treaty with Russia. By 1st March 2022, Russia occupying Ukraine as "invited peacekeepers." Hungary occupies Carpathia. Insurgent war. Germany and France: business as usual with Russia. How Plan A turned out? Russian patsies in Ukraine saw, after 24 hours, Russian military was hopeless and that Ukraine would win. President Zelenskyy didn't flee: "I need ammo. Not a ride,” and all that put paid to the plan to use pure War Magic delivered through Disinfolklore to conquer Ukraine.
Plan B: The Chef’s assassination squads had one job: Kill President Zelenskyy. What a plum task, from the perspective of Russian Disinfolklore. What Osama Bin Laden’s assassination did for President Obama, President Zelenskyy’s murder or capture by The Chef’s elite forces would have done for him, or for his master the Chief Sorcerer Putin.
Russia would then exploit post assassination chaos to impose Russian patsies. There would not be an “Right-holder” who could, as President Zelenskyy's nightly iPhone-delivered addresses do every night achieve, be the supreme authority on every subject in the state.

Invite Russian peacekeepers in. Hungary would occupy Carpathia. Result: Large numbers of Wanger Nazi elite assassins liquidated (RIP).
Plan C: Take Kyiv and region. Hold it hostage until Ukraine government and state dissolves into chaos. Wanger Nazi assassination squads went through their kill lists in Bucha, Irpin, etc. They murdered many Ukrainians activists, journalists and elected officials. This was the model The Chef’s forces would have practised all over Ukraine, until the last of the 10,000 of Ukraine’s top intellectuals, civil society leaders, and elected officials were dead. Result: Defeated militarily by 29th March. Russia declares Phase 1 "complete". Worldwide disgust from Bucha, Irpin, etc massacres provokes world into arming Ukraine properly.
Plan D: Phase 2 is to occupy all of Luhansk and Donetsk. By May 9th 2022, at the very latest. Use Disinfolklore pumped out in industrial volumes to spin a partial victory into a triumph to rival England’s win at Waterloo; such Disinfolklore in different iterations would hack the minds of every Russian and, globally, everyone else who mattered. So that, as happened in 2014, Russian Disinfolklore managed to conceal genocide in Ukraine. Result: Still uncompleted despite loss of 100,000 Ruschist soldiers. Prognosis? No hope Russia will ever occupy Luhansk and Donetsk.
Plan E: Occupy ALL of Southern Ukraine (Mariupol --> Odesa / Bessarabia / Danube) would be conquered by the end of March 2022. Result: Ukraine’s elite Azov forces delayed Wanger and Ruschist Nazis so long in Mariupol, no hope. The Chef’s Disinfolklore apparatus had invested eight years of work into creating Russia’s “Far Right Ukrainian Bogeyman” with Azov in the starring role.
And in the end, Azov absorbed so much of Russia’s force power, Russia lost any opportunity it ever had for the Blitz Krieg its war plans required to succeed. Russia lost Kherson in September 2022, and with it its only foothold in right-bank Ukraine. In 1721 Muscovy occupied right-bank Ukraine and declared itself the “Russian Empire.” In 2022, Russia temporarily occupied right-bank Ukraine for a brief period. No amount of The Chef’s Disinfolklore can alter the substance of the enormity of this defeat.
Plan F (by end of March 2022) ---> Plan Z (by May 9th, 2023): Conquer all of Donetsk, and indeed Luhansk. The Chef’s first great victory was when his Wanger forces in 2015 (while I was working in Russia-occupied Luhansk) systematically assassinated all armed forces in Russia occupied territory who would not pledge complete loyalty and obedience to Russia’s dictator of occupied Luhansk Plotnitskiy (whose parents died when they ate poisoned mushrooms, but I digress).
The Chef then was given every resource necessary to take the city of Bakhmut. People I knew in Luhansk were resigned to Bakhmut falling in July 2022, directly after The Chef’s forces, at the cost of over 10,000 Wanger Nazi troops and the utter destruction of the city, occupied Popasna. Bakhmut, though a strategic deadend (a road to no-where) was selected because it was thought to be "attainable." The Chef having failed in so much else in Ukraine could weave of an easy victory in Bakhmut enough mythos, using his Disinfolklore factories, to capture the Kremlin despite all.
When, by 9th May 2023 The Chef’s forces, despite being given limitless quantities of artillery, shells, fighter jets, attack helicopters, and up to 100,000 souls, still hadn’t managed to conquer the dead end city of Bakhmut, the game seemed up.
Mainstreamed through Plan A --> Z is the overarching plan of starving, freezing, coercing Europe into begging Ukraine to accept occupation of their people, land, and State.
Note that Russia assumed EVERY one of these plans would easily work. As did "Russia Understanders" in ALL governments, think-tanks, and among tankies: except in Central Europe. They’d all, unbeknownst to themselves, been hypnotised by The Chef’s War Magic delivered through targetted Disinfolklore, including in one-to-one encounters between the Chief Sorcerer Putin and heads of state from all the Great Powers.
The Chef had a monopoly on all these juicy "easy" victories in Ukraine which were not to be. And will never be. Russia had no actual path to victory in Ukraine (experts like me who spent seven years as a diplomat meeting hundreds of decision-makers and security operators in Ukraine understood this).
The Chef Saucerer had been given all the resources available to be the victor in Plan A --> Z. So that, of them, The Chef as Putin's anointed successor, could yield the "authority" in the Russian political system garnered from success in Ukraine.
And, even after the catastrophic failures his Wanger military unit and the rest of the Russian army is responsible for in Ukraine I wouldn't count the Chef out, or a civil war as he tries to achieve the position, despite his failures.
The Putin's Chef Problem, therefore, still persists.
Let’s set it out in terms any scholar of Indo-European mythological literature would understand:
How can Putin survive, if he passes the reins to The Chef charioteer he trained and empowered? Yet, how can Sorcerer Putin survive, if he doesn't stand aside to enable his Chef apprentice to take over? This is the Plight of the Sorcerer. It has featured in Indo-European stories for millennia.
Since early March 2022, Putin's Magical manipulative powers have been noticeably on the wane - see plans A-Z above for the evidence of that. Nothing has gone right for him. Even those who dutifully surrendered to his enspelling nonsense now won't take his calls.
I first noted how President Zelenskyy's Magical powers to curse, outwit, and humiliate the Sorcerer Putin were growing in proportion to Putin's loss of power at the end of March 2022. Until recently I had ignored Putin's Apprentice, The Chef, who is now at the height of his powers. Conventional wisdom among experts in Kremlin Mythology was that The Chef was an outsider without support. Now, though when you lay out the evidence as I have here, it’s very clear that Russia’s Chef Disinfolklorist - The Chef who delivered Russia’s greatest ever foreign policy victories - Brexit and Trump; The Chef whose Disinfolklore concealed Russia’s genocide in Ukraine in plain sight for eight year; the Chef who, like the oligarch’s favourite child is given every possible resource to have at least one success, loses everything in Ukraine - Plans A —→ Z’s failure are as much a testament of Putin, Russia, and The Chef’s failures in equal measure;… When you put it all together, along with how the grandfather spectacled Chef is now a celebrity in legacy media in the West, it’s clear The Chef was always the Master Sorcerer Putin’s Rasputin and Apprentice. The nomenclature’s chosen successor. If only he could have won in Ukraine.
The Chef today is the star of the show himself. Why and how has this happened? The answer is simple: Putin's Rasputin, this turbulent priest is ready to take over the chariot. These days the Magician Apprentice doesn't even disguise himself or his ambition: Just an iphone and grainy footage, and his every muttered thought and trolling grandfather glasses is front-page news across the earth.
The Chef Rooster has sacrificed 100,000 Ukrainians' lives since Feb 24th 2022. Like every Indo-European monarch for millennia he boasts of the human sacrifices he has made. That is his power. The Magician Chef has vaporised entire cities in central Europe - Popasna and Bakhmut, and the rest. 75,000 Russians have died at his command in six months in Bakhmut. And before this, his Nazi-worshipping soldiers in his Nazi-branded "Wanger" group had murdered 100,000s of Syrians.
Yet, the Chef's power as the Magi Apprentice is such, that the NYT, Guardian, and assorted other naïfs fall daily for his trolling Disinfolklore. They breathlessly quote and report verbatim as truth his every bespelling utterance. Like they did before with butcher Putin of Grozny, they now do with the Chef:
Unknowingly, Western leaders and opinion-formers promote the Chef as before they promoted his Sorcerer Master Putin. Every Western website reference eulogising the Butcher of Bakhmut, with his trolling grandpa glasses, is echoed back into Ruschist info-space as evidence the West respects the Chef, and will accept him as the new Sorcerer Monarch.
The Chef's Internet Research Agency enspelled America and England into voting for Trump and Brexit. This was his time as Putin's apprentice. Now, the Sorcerer Master Putin who created him cannot destroy the Chef without destroying himself. Nor, can Putin promote the Chef, while being certain that once promoted, the Chef won't destroy Putin. The Plight of the Sorcerer.
Normally in Disinfolklore, the underlying Characters don't evolve. They're functional. Their function is just to bring the story along. The Chef Saucerer has surprised us all. His greatest trick: the Chef turned himself, as Putin did with Chechnya, into a living breathing player in the Ruschist Succession drama. The Chef's greatest trick is to turn the genocide he's a main executioner of into a mere reality TV show. A spectacle for consumption (fortunately alone among the Real People Ukrainians remain focussed on the job in hand). The Chef Saucerer like the sudden maturation of a poisonous mushroom (cloud of his ammo dumps in Popasna: https://twitter.com/DecodingTrolls/status/1543921781290958848/video/1) has suddenly and unexpectedly "come of age." An Initiate, like Alyosha, in Dostoyevsky’s “Brothers Karamazov”, The Chef. Disinfolklorist now has emerged from being mere Chef of the Troll (farms). During his apprenticeship, as The Chef of the Trolls securing enough division in England to get Brexit done, he got Trump elected, and successfully concealed genocide in Ukraine for eight years.
The Chef Saucerer has more than proved his Magiestry of Magico-Religious aspect of Sovereignty function of Leadership.
Now, since February 24th 2022 despite repeated military disasters and killing 100,000 Ukrainians The Chef Saucerer in the internal Ruschist mind (and in the Western mind and media) has demonstrated his Magistery of the Warrior function. As a Chef originally, of course, it's never been in question that he's a Magister of the fertility / economic / household function of Indo-European caste system. So in an internal Ruschist system where "Right" and "authority" stem from election by the oligarchy (Ozero Collective) everything's in place now for The Chef to replace the Chief Sorcerer Putin. Will he capture the Kremlin? Let's see what the civil war he's stoking can conjure into being. Will The Chef become a defenestrated Flying Saucerer, or will he manage, despite all, to smite the Chief Sorcerer? A plot worthy of the Mahābhārata in its complexity.
Fascinating read, thank you Stephen !
