00:00
Georgia has been rocked by mass demonstrations in recent months due to laws limiting the
00:05
activities of foreign agents, the banning of LGBTQI plus advertising, and most recently
00:12
the suspension of the country's integration into the European Union.
00:16
Let's see more.
00:20
For more than a week, the Georgian opposition has been trying to organize a new Euromaidan.
00:26
The police have prevented protesters from camping in the streets and taking over the
00:30
parliament, as was done in Kyiv in 2014.
00:34
The reason is the same.
00:36
The Georgian parliament stopped Euro integration and refuses to continue receiving foreign
00:41
grants.
00:46
Just a year ago, Georgia was considered the most advanced and Western-loved state in the
00:51
post-Soviet space, and literally in one year it lost everything.
00:56
The Georgian government is becoming unyielding in the face of the Western elite, only because
01:01
it dared to take a series of measures consistent with its national interests.
01:09
The Georgian opposition, led by President Salome Zurabishvili, a French citizen, refuses
01:15
to accept the elections scheduled for December 14th, and even called on schoolchildren to
01:21
take to the streets, as protesters throw firecrackers, stones, and even bottles with
01:27
explosives at the police in an attempt to cause bloodshed.
01:34
Everything that Zurabishvili does and says is within the logic of the things of the color
01:38
revolutions.
01:39
He writes in English on his Twitter or Facebook, I don't know what, already the university
01:43
students are on strike, and now it's the turn of the schoolchildren, but she denies having
01:47
done it.
01:48
She says she couldn't ask people to take to the streets, much less schoolchildren,
01:52
all in English.
01:53
The methodology is this, the president writes in English, then the Georgian media translates
01:58
and broadcasts it in Georgian, but she is now playing the fool.
02:05
We are facing a new attempt of color revolution with a tried and tested script in different
02:10
scenarios in the post-Soviet space, barricades, noise with pots, European deputies with orange
02:17
scarves, all led by local public figures trained in the West, and open defenders of
02:23
Western interests in their country.
02:29
In Georgia there is simply a color revolution going on, there, non-pro-Russian forces came
02:35
to power through legal and completely democratic and legitimate procedures.
02:40
They are supporters of Georgia's sovereignty.
02:44
But those who are now raging against them in the streets are foreign agents who also
02:48
opposed the decision to recognize foreign agents.
02:51
They are degenerates, perverts, and tools of this liberal world elite who are organizing
02:55
this to overthrow the lawful government of Georgia.
03:02
Georgia is currently fighting for its sovereignty.
03:05
It is clear that demonstrators wrapped in European Union, Ukrainian and U.S. flags seek
03:11
to turn their country into a subject of the West to serve as an instrument in its war
03:16
against Russia.
03:17
One more country to bleed with cheap cannon fodder and great wealth.
03:22
In other words, just another Ukraine.
