Military leaders of the Democratic Republic of Congo’s (DR Congo) said they have put down an attempted coup in a dramatic Sunday incident which included a large shootout erupting in the capital of Kinshasa.

At least three men have been reported killed, with two being police officers which engaged a team of armed attackers. The third deceased is said to be one of the gunman. A government spokesman has stated “The armed men attacked the Kinshasa residence of Vital Kamerhe, a federal legislator and a candidate for speaker of the National Assembly of DR Congo, but were stopped by his guards.”

A regional correspondent for Canada’s Globe & Mail has said that Westerners are in custody, including at least one American, though this remains unconfirmed at a government official level:

Somebody messed up. You can’t over throw the Congo government with 20 soldiers or mercs. It’s too big. In 1978 20 mercs overthrew the government of the Comoros, but that was a very small country. One of the leaders of this attempted coup had a business in Manica, Mozambique. That would probably be on the eastern border of Zimbabwe’s Manicaland area. Interesting country. Spent 6 months there in 1978.

Is there any place the corruption of the FUSA isn’t at work to create suffering and strife? With all that’s already going on, there is felt a legitimate need by western powers to stage a coup in the DRC?

What in the hell is going on, where we have this event in addition to the attempted assassination of the Slovak PM, helicopter crash of the Iranian president (and quite possibly his death, as usual little reliable information is available to us still many hours later), and with ongoing crises in Ukraine and Israel sucking most of the air out of the room already.

Sure seems like we are being primed for a major event.

Yes, we are. And it will be to disrupt the ’24 elections because the Illegitimate Maggot-in-Chief cannot run on his “record” so what else is there but lies, deception, more outright theft and Black Swan events?
