When colour revolution fades away

The West is trying to shake up the situation in Georgia to ignite a new fire of confrontation

The current Georgian parliamentary elections have shown what mechanisms Washington and Brussels engage to impose their will on other peoples. However, the usual political techniques of seizing power are increasingly failing. Countries are learning to defend their independence.

Awakening process

The parliamentary elections in Georgia have demonstrated a completely new trend — the country has become the personification of the people’s awakening after the long dominance of the West’s colonial policy. 
Western interest in Georgia has been excessively high since the mid-1990s and 2000s. Suffice it to recall that the first ‘velvet revolution’ in the post-Soviet space — named Rose Revolution — was held with the support of the Soros foundation in Georgia in 2003. The technology of controlled street protests proved effective. The White House was inspired and moved to active ‘development’ of other territories — Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, etc.  
NATO, led by the United States, threw hordes of its military advisers and representatives of special services into Georgia to train its army, provide it with weapons, and form non-governmental funds to covertly raise money. This was followed by the tragic events of August 8th, 2008: Georgia, pushed by the West, under the command of Saakashvili launched a military campaign against South Ossetia. Everything ended badly for Washington and Tbilisi, with tonnes of captured military equipment and unjustified casualties among the military and civilians.
The failure of that military venture laid the foundation for the current turning point in this Transcaucasian country. The victory of the ruling Georgian Dream party is the result of a deep understanding by the local population that the West does not want peace, but only a war between Georgia and Russia. 
For Washington, London, and Brussels, the current loss of the opposition forces — headed by the Western proxy ruler, President Salome Zourabichvili — in the parliamentary elections marks the beginning of the collapse of the strategy to seize the post-Soviet space. The propaganda of Euro- and NATO-integration is no longer working. Georgians, being an ancient and wise people, have identified what all those sugary Euro slogans really mean.

Propaganda in action

On October 28th, the mouthpiece of British propaganda — the BBC radio station — began a series of broadcasts about how Georgians are suffering from the fact that the ruling party is taking away their dream of European integration. Ostensibly, the focus on BRICS implies the integration with poor countries, while Georgians want to unite with the US and the EU. As if this would lead to wealth. It sounds funny, doesn’t it? 

Western propaganda sows illusions of a bright future in the minds of the population, and then forces people to move from emotions to actions — to take to the streets and protest.

Nowadays, the dream management technology is recognised by experts as the most effective for rocking the masses. The Maidan of 2013/2014 in Ukraine also rose in the wake of the refusal by Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich to sign agreements on European integration. It ended with colossal casualties and destruction.

They vote for development

The White House is going all in and allows the situation in Georgia to worsen, as it is interested in the civil war in this country and the escalation of the situation in the Caucasus and the Caspian Sea region. 

However, the people of Georgia are waking up to a clear understanding of the true goals of Washington and Brussels. People are tired of permanent ‘velvet revolutions’ and manipulations, they want to strengthen the economy and develop trade relations with the EAEU, SCO, and BRICS. 

The West is trying to destabilise the situation and lead to a direct clash between Georgians and Georgians, although the country just wants to become independent. The United States, in turn, strives to create ‘Ukraine number two’ there and set the whole Caucasus on fire.

For reference

On October 29th, 2024, mass protests began in Georgia. The major problem for the opposition is that the abdication of mandates by four of their parties does not allow them to seize power through parliament. The OSCE’s statement on the election recognition also does not play into the hands of the protest stratum. Therefore, the United States needs to escalate — to provoke the authorities to take harsh measures in order to play out the scenario of Ukraine in 2013, when a nicely orchestrated provocation allowed the seizure of power. If the Georgian opposition does not spin such a scenario, it will not be able to stage a coup.  
The BBC presenters reported that the ruling party got the main points precisely because of the ‘war and peace’ theme and the reluctance of Georgians to repeat the fate of Ukrainians in a potential armed conflict. In reality, it was the incumbent President of Georgia, Salome Zourabichvili — a former French citizen and ex-French ambassador to Georgia in 2004 — who called for a riot under the slogan of combating voting violations, throwing her citizens to the slaughter. This is not the leader of the nation, but merely the proxy ruler appointed by the West.

To the point

The main political intrigue of recent times has been resolved. Donald Trump has been re-elected president of the United States. This election campaign turned out to be one of the most difficult and contentious in the history of the United States. The amount of mudslinging and insults that the candidates hurled at each other was unprecedented.
The outcome of the election is an assessment by American citizens of the policies conducted by the Biden-Harris administration. Not only did Trump win electoral votes, but he also won the popular vote. The Republicans have already gained a majority in the Senate and are leading in the race for the House of Representatives. Thus, the newly elected president of the United States will be able to control both the executive and legislative branches, which will untie his hands. 
The victory of Donald Trump will inevitably lead to a reset of the entire ruling elite and a revision of the political line that it pursued. The period of such turbulence will last long enough and will not in the least end on January 20th next year with the inauguration of the ‘new old president’.

For reference

The opposition coalition, consisting of four parties, has refused to recognise the vote results. Its leader — President Salome Zourabichvili — has announced the start of indefinite mass protests. The USA and the EU agree with this position. The TASS news agency has reported that snipers trained in Ukraine are arriving in Georgia for provocations.
