Saakashvili’s “democracy” in Georgia
- Text size
Wayne Madsen
Online Journal
August 28, 2008
While the neocon media and the George Soros-funded “progressive left” defends the Georgian government of Mikheil Saakashvili against so-called Russian “aggression,” it should be recalled that Saakashvili is anything but a paragon of democracy.
Shalva Natelashvili would agree with those in Russia and the United States who question Saakashvili’s foreign entanglements and political and economic agenda. Natelashvili, as the leader of Georgia’s opposition Labor Party, has experienced Saakashvili’s dictatorship first-hand.
Natelashvili is no friend of Saakashvili’s patrons in the United States, backers that span the political aisle from Barack Obama’s financial backer George Soros and chief foreign policy adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski to John McCain’s top foreign policy adviser Randy Scheunemann. For that reason, Natelashvili favors closer ties between Georgia and Russia. Natelashvili has called Soros the “real president of Georgia,” suggesting that Saakashvili is merely Soros’ puppet. Natelashvili has also called Matthew Bryza, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs and her special envoy to Georgia, a tool of the Soros-backed Georgian government. Natelashvili has called for Bryza’s resignation.

Natelashvili’s program of restoring free natural gas and electricity to Georgia for three years as a way to lighten the financial burden of utility bills on poor Georgian households did not earn him any points with Saakashvili or Soros, a person who preys on the poor and unemployed through his vulture capitalist practices. And to earn him greater wrath from the Soros crowd, Natelashvili opposes the privatization of state-owned industries and wants them returned to state control, as well as reducing the power of Georgia’s neocon “unitary executive” presidency.
The pseudo-democrat Saakashvili responded to Natelashvili by accusing him of espionage prior to the presidential election last January, an election which Saakashvili won amid charges by the opposition of election fraud. Natelashvili was accused by the neocon government in Tbilisi of meeting with Russian intelligence agents and planning to overthrow the government. Earlier, Saakashvili’s government had arrested opposition leader Irakli Okruashvili and issued charges against wealthy businessman and opposition leader Badri Patarkatsishvili and Konstantine Gamsakhurdia, the son of the first Georgian president. Patarkatsishvili, the co-owner of Georgia’s Imedi TV network, died suddenly outside of London last February at the age of 53. He was a bitter opponent of Saakashvili and many Georgians and some British police suspected foul play in his death, ruled later as a heart attack.
The convergence of Soros and the Obama campaign on one side and Scheunemann and the McCain campaign on the other illustrates the lack of difference between the Democrats and Republicans when it comes to revanchist Cold War politics. Scheunemann was a member of the neocon Project for the New American Century (PNAC) and favors expansion of NATO. Obama’s foreign policy team of Brzezinski and Wesley Clark are in agreement with Scheunemann whose Orion Strategies has made a fortune in lobbying for NATO expansion and awarding countries like Latvia lucrative contracts in U.S.-occupied Iraq. Scheunemann is close to Iraq National Congress leader Ahmad Chalabi whose bogus intelligence helped launch the U.S. misadventure in Iraq.
The Soros network has funded a series of democracy manipulation revolutions around the world, including the Rose Revolution in Georgia, the Orange Revolution in Ukraine, the Cedar Revolution in Lebanon, the Olive Tree Revolution in Palestine (that saw Hamas come to power), the Tulip Revolution in Kyrgyzstan, the Purple Revolution in Iraq (that saw a Shi’a-dominated government friendly to Iran come to power), and the Saffron Revolution in Burma (one that was crushed by the military). There were also abortive themed revolutions in Moldova and Belarus. Not to be omitted is the Orange Democratic Movement’s uprising in Kenya, one that saw thousands murdered before the Orange movement’s leader Raila Odinga became Prime Minister in a power-sharing government. Odinga’s father Oginga Odinga was a close friend of Barack Obama’s father, Barack Obama, Sr.

Good article but what really is interesting is the photo of him on the front page. I read people, I am very good at it. I see things in peoples faces others don’t see. I would never trust this person or ever loan him money. Most certainly I would never allow him near any young boys. Thats just my opinion for whatever its worth.
Have a nice day pilgrims.

Putin accuses U.S. of orchestrating Georgian war
http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WO.....storyemail
August 28th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
Putin on the Infamous Georgian conflict of 8/8/08 while the world watched the Olympics:
“The American side in fact armed and trained the Georgian army, “Why hold years of difficult talks and seek complex compromise solutions in interethnic conflicts? It’s easier to arm one side and push it into the murder of the other side, and it’s over.”
“If my guesses are confirmed, then the suspicion is raised that somebody in the United States purposefully created this conflict with the aim of aggravating the situation and creating an advantage … for one of the candidates in the battle for the post of U.S. president.”
Putin also lent his voice to Russian suggestions that Americans may have fought alongside Georgians, though he did not make that claim directly.
“U.S. citizens were indeed in the area in conflict,” Putin said, according to CNN. “They were acting in implementing those orders doing as they were ordered, and the only one who can give such orders is their leader.”
The deputy chief of Russia’s general staff, Col. Gen. Anatoly Nogovitsyn, said Thursday that a U.S. passport was found in a basement in a village in South Ossetia among items that he said belonged to Georgian forces.
“We found a passport for Michael Lee White” Nogovitsyn said. “He’s a Texan.”
The U.S. Embassy in Georgia said it had no information on the matter.
Putin rejected Western contentions that Russia should have shown more restraint. The U.S. and other nations accuse Russia of using disproportionate force in its response. Russian troops and tanks moved deep into Georgia and bombed at least one Georgian city.
“What, we’re supposed to let ourselves be killed and for that they will, say, leave us in the G-8? And who will remain in the G-8 when we’re all killed?” he said. Some politicians in the West have urged the ejection of Russia from the Group of Eight nations.
Now make up your minds about what kind of games have been played. Putin is fully-trained KGB FSB Head. I don’t read faces from the Net but looking at the series of actions, and the plethora of lies told by the MSM bout Russia attacking Georgia, I he is portraying it as it was. They also knew it was coming.
The massive buildup of ships in the Black Sea during the Conventions. Connect the dots. Playing politics with the US Navy… as they unload “relief supplies”.

I see chemtrails in Moscow and in Kiev.
I think, all this TV-shows just for time.
They gonna kill all of us (and Russian and Americans)
Sorry for my English
August 28th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
Tolstenov Vakhtang Thank you for that bit of information on chem trails. I think you are correct, they do want to kill all of us common people. I wish to tell the Russian people that most Americans do not want war. I think we should try to be friends. I think most people are fairly decent. The problem is the ruthless and evil types always seem to get control and ruin everything.
Have a good day pilgrim.

I’m suprised he didn’t hang himself with his tie,maybe Ukraine’s offer of lots of ties will do the job.

Saakashvili looks like a nut house escapee, the goofy bastard.
He acts goofy too, trying to duct from a non-existant bomb flyover for the press.
The perfect stooge puppet gov’t front man.

I think it’s time that our military leaders took over power from the politicians, as such time that we can place credible political leaders that act for its their countries citizens, and not the new world order.

Georgia…. is a distraction… a gladiatorial match used to distracted the plebs. The same type of persecution of Christianity which occurred under the Soviet militant-athiests will eventually happen in America. Be ready to be martyred or flee before the prison door slams shut.

I know that everything seems bleak right now and I hope that this U.S./Georgia and Russia crisis does not escalate into anymore than tough talk of saber rattling and no nuclear action. I did come across this video though that may put some things in perspective given our current political environment.

I wanted to know what the georgian conflict was realy about and I found a pipeline running in from baku ,through georgia , into turkey and ready for shipment to western markets.
It will take away the russia/Iran monopoly of oil production from the caspian sea and give it control by The Western markets.
If this is true there is 200 billion barrels
@ 100.00 per barrel = 20 trillion
@ 200.00 per barrel = 40 trillion
These are the major players

1) There was an attack on Baku-Tblisi-Ceyan pipeline on Aug 5 2008 .The kurdistan workers party took responsibility according to Cnn/Turkish news.
2) A Russian pipeline also caught on fire on Aug 6 2008 in Bulgaria.
3) There is 200 billion barrels of oil in the Caspian sea region and prior to to Russia disolving into the commonwealth of independent states It was under complete control of Russia.
@100 per barrel = 20 trillion
@200 per barrel = 40 trillion
4) Geopolitically , if you control this region you control the sales of energy to the world , you take away the Potential earnings of Russia (20 -40 Trillion) and steal this wealth to redistribute to Nato allies.
5) Russia and Iran in 1940 agreed to split the Caspian due to the fact the caucusus region was part of the former Persian empire .
6) The USA is surrounding Russia with Nato forces by funding revolutions in the countries surrounding the Caspian sea , they gaining access to ports in the Ukraine and building missle defense systems in Poland ! The Us is also in Turkey , Iraq, Afghanistan and is ready to attack
Iran.
7) Russia is under the control of the NWO or we would be plunged in war ! In the early 60’s
the Russians tried building missle bases in Cuba and JFK Threatend nuclear war unless Russia
left The Us sphere of influence.
It Makes no sense why Russia would allow Nato to Rape Its Oil .
9) Why would Bush visit Georgia the opening day of the pipeline in tblisi May 12 2005?
why would Nato allow Georgia into Nato?
why would Israel and the Usa train the Georgian soldiers?
Why did the Georgian economy triple since the opening in 2005?
Awnser = The Baku-Tblisi-Ceyhan Pipeline

I don’t get the comparison with the ODM movement in Kenya. I lived in Kenya through the election “irregularities” and the subsequent chaos and deadly force used by the government there. The tribal conflict that flared up had deep rooted issues. ODM won 6 out of the 8 provinces in Kenya and initial results showed a landslide win for them. That would have been a precedent setting peaceful voting out of a sitting president in Africa. Who knows what would have happened in Zimbabwe then. I agree that calling Georgia a true democracy is very questionable, but your linking the ODM movement to this wider global interference project does not make sense. I definitely support Russia in their support of Ossetia and Abkhazia. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. If Kosovo should be granted independence from Serbia, then the shoe fits after all.
