Russia still spanking Georgia!

You may recall during the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, there was a breaking news event which briefly interrupted the televised coverage of the games. Essentially we were told that the budding little democracy in Georgia was being attacked by the fierce Russian military. It was really fairly climatic as it brought both President Bush and Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin into the limelight. Watching this unfold from the U.S. controlled mass media perspective, we were led to believe that it was a case of the Big Bad Russia bullying around on a little friend-of-the-West democracy. Shame, shame on you Russia, was about the size of it.

Last September our Ed Cleveland did an extensive broadcast called ”Georgian Provocation and Russian Response”. You can read or listen to an MP3 version of that on our website. It was really pretty enlightening on this issue.

For a quick summary, what we had was the pro-West, pro-NATO, former Soviet state of Georgia knowingly and willingly provoking Russia and Russia quickly and decisively responded. As you know, for almost two decades now, NATO has aggressively expanded around Russia’s borders. With a clear anti-Russian agenda and origin, NATO is not viewed favorably by Moscow. When Georgia invaded South Ossetia, Russia responded to the direct threat. It was really pretty impressive actually.

But a more detailed explanation is really required to understand exactly why this became such a big issue for the Jewish controlled mass media during televised coverage of the 2008 Olympic Games. As it turns out, the Jews have enjoyed living in this area for roughly 2,600 years! You really should checkout our ”Georgian Provocation and Russian Response” broadcast.

Anyway, there is no doubt that NATO aggression was a prime factor behind Russia’s quick and decisive military reaction. Additionally, the conflict erupted in a small ethnic enclave called South Ossetia which extends north into Russia’s border of North Ossetia. Russia has had peacekeeping troops in South Ossetia and regularly issued passports to Ossetians, allowing them to travel freely between the two areas. So when Georgia invaded South Ossetia, obviously the Ossetians in the Russian province of North Ossetia were not happy. And it is easy to understand why Russia saw the Georgian provocation as an attack on its people and responded accordingly. So Russia had multiple reasons for pouncing on Georgia and these are just a couple of them.

As we learned last year, officially Georgia is run by the Georgian President, a man by the name of Mikheil Saakashvili. Saakashvili is a darling of the US Government who has been postured for a leadership role in the New World Order’s democratization of the globe. Yet another thorn in Russia’s side. But President Saakashvili is merely a puppet for those that are really in control in Georgia. See Ed Cleveland’s Nationalist Matters transcript for more details.

Georgia’s Defense Minister, David Kezerashvili, and its State Minister for Territorial Integration, Temur Yakobashvili, are both Israeli Jews. Yet another influential member of the Georgian government is the State Minister on Reintegration Issues, a Jew by the name of Temur Iakobashvili. These Georgian government officials are 100% Jewish and really the ones in control in Georgia. It is a commonly understood fact in that part of the world that last names ending with –shvili are shared by most Georgian-born Jews. I am not 100% sure about President Saakashvi but I think he has an honorary position in the tribe at least.

To be sure, Georgia and the New World order crowd will keep as much of that region on the trail to democracy as they can. This really isn’t a heart warming situation for Russia. As we should expect, Russia will keep a very close eye on all of them. We need to understand the history of this region and why Russia probably will not take too much to react.

That said, the below New York Times article immediately got my attention. The tone of the article was the same as the coverage during the Olympics last year; poor, poor Georgia, big bad Russia. You get the picture. But that article did have one line I agreed with. It states “Russian forces have controlled the de facto borders of Abkhazia and South Ossetia since August last year, when Moscow crushed a Georgian assault on South Ossetia and subsequently recognized both territories as independent states.” Beyond that one line, the article did prompt me to get a more non-Western perspective on the story.

So I found a great deal of information in the RIA Novosti, (Russian Information Agency Novosti). A couple of months ago, a report was commissioned by the Council of the European Union to investigate the August 2008 Russia-Georgia war. The investigation included approximately “30 European military, legal and history specialists”. The purpose was to investigate the causes of the conflict.

So what was the conclusion? Well, according to the European Union report, the war was a “Georgia initiated conflict.” See the September RIA article for more details. So as we have maintained all along, and as Russia has maintained all along, Georgia started the conflict that prompted our mass media to interrupt the 2008 Olympic games to report on it.

So in this case, once the truth was finally allowed to come out, poor, poor Georgia started it and big bad Russia ended it. The Georgian officials “said the report blamed Russia for escalating the conflict.” So like I said, poor, poor Georgia started it and big bad Russia ended it, and I mean FAST!

But more recently, in the November RIA Novosti article, we learn about lingering friction in that region including some arrests of Georgian citizens. We also hear about Georgia pleading its case in Geneva, the so-called “worldwide centre for diplomacy”, to help glimmer as another beacon of democracy in Eastern Europe. The Georgian officials maintain all is well in the area, that there has been a “stabilization of the situation in the Georgian-South Ossetian” region. But Russia does not agree. Russia and South Ossetia officials point out Georgian “military drones have started flying over South Ossetia”. And tension has continued to escalate in the region. Definitely something to keep an eye on.

The November article also reminds us of what the EU commissiond war report concluded: “The 5-day war with Russia over South Ossetia, calling Russia’s military response “legal.”
