So there is political turmoil in Georgia right now as the Georgian
government attempts to pass laws requiring any organization that receives
more than 20 percent of its funding from abroad to register as “foreign agents.” Somehow media organisations and NGOs being forced to disclose
their foreign funding would restrict “free speech” and is “anti-democratic.” Truly laughable.

This has angered the Americans and the EU who are going total mask off with their clear intention to control the Georgian political process rather than allowing an organic national conversation to guide its politics.

//The “transparency of foreign influence” law passed by Georgia’s parliament on March 7 is “incompatible with EU standards and values,” says EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borell


Borrell also called on Georgia to uphold its commitment to the promotion of democracy, the rule of law and human rights, and the right for people to peacefully protest.//

So now an attempt at a Euromaiden style coup is occuring in Georgia to
prevent this bill from simply creating transparency about foreign influence over their media, whilst their pro-Western President Salome Zurabishvili
just so happens to be visiting the US. Incredible stuff. "Democracy, the
rule of law and human rights" appear to basically mean allowing your
country to be subverted by foreigners who want to turn it into a
Ukraine-style warzone for the sake of their geopolitical chessmatch with Moscow.
