Marking Fifteen Years Since Russia’s Invasion and Occupation of Georgia
Press Statement
Antony J. Blinken, Secretary of State
August 7, 2023
https://www.state.gov/marking-fifteen-years-since-russias-invasion-and-occupation-of-georgia/
#NATO says it began preparing for a confrontation with #Russia 14 years before the special operation. According to Admiral Rob Bauer, head of the alliance's military committee, NATO's #military plans to counter Russia "run to 4,500 pages".
"In fact, the military's work began in 2008 to shift our thinking back to the principles of collective defence. This was necessary because of the behaviour of Russia, which had been a NATO partner for more than 15 years, but then #Georgia in 2008, Ukraine in 2014 and 2022 happened. The biggest change in NATO has been to prepare for [confronting] an increasingly aggressive adversary," he said.
#NATO is a source of peace, my ass.

#Georgia accuses Ukrainian official of plotting coup
Georgia on Monday accused a senior Ukrainian official of plotting to overthrow the Black Sea nation’s government by organising mass unrest, in the blatest episode of escalating tensions between the ex-Soviet countries.
#Kyiv said the claim was “untrue” and called it a Georgian attempt to “demonise” the war-torn country.
Tbilisi has been accused of cooperating with the #Kremlin even though Russian forces have deployed to separatist regions of #Abkhazia and South Ossetia since 2008, when #Moscow invaded the tiny #Caucasus country.
Georgian security services said the deputy chief of Ukraine’s military counterintelligence and Georgia’s former deputy interior minister, Giorgi Lortkipanidze, were plotting “destabilisation aimed at a violent overthrow of the government.”
It said Georgians fighting Russian forces in #Ukraine, including a bodyguard of Georgia’s jailed ex-president Mikhail Saakashvili, were among the conspirators being trained near Ukraine’s border with #Poland.
Ukraine has repeatedly called for Georgia to release #Saakashvili, who is now a Ukrainian national and a top advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr #Zelensky.
Kyiv has said that the Georgian authorities are “killing” the ailing politician on Kremlin orders and has demanded his transfer to a clinic abroad.
Georgia in turn has condemned what it said was “an extreme form of escalation in diplomatic relations”.
Georgia’s security service said anti-government protests “are being planned for October and December, when the European Commission is set to publish its decision on Georgia’s #EU membership application.”
It said the plot “is being carried out with the coordination and funding from a foreign country.”
Ukraine denied the allegations.
“This information is untrue,” Kyiv’s foreign ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko said on Facebook.
“The current Georgian authorities are once again trying to demonise Ukraine in order to solve their internal political issues,” it said, adding:
“The Ukrainian state has not interfered, is not interfering and does not plan to interfere in Georgia’s internal affairs.”
The EU recognised Georgia’s “European perspective” last year, but deferred its membership application while granting candidacy to fellow ex-Soviet Ukraine and Moldova.
That has led to mass anti-government protests in Tbilisi, where the government is facing accusations of backsliding on its commitments to democracy and undermining Georgia’s EU membership bid.
Earlier in September, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said “there is still quite a bit of work to be done” by #Tbilisi to be granted formal candidate status.

Opinion: Eastman’s defense is shattered in state bar proceeding
John Eastman, the lawyer allegedly at the center of the unprecedented and outrageous scheme to overthrow the 2020 election, faces criminal prosecution in Georgia and has been identified as an unindicted co-conspirator in special counsel Jack Smith’s federal case. And Eastman must defend a bar complaint in California that threatens to revoke his law license.
At a critical hearing last week in the California bar proceedings, designated legal expert Matthew A. Seligman submitted a 91-page report, which I have obtained from the state bar, that strips away any “colorable,” or legally plausible, defense that Eastman was acting in good faith in rendering advice to the now four-times-indicted former president Donald Trump.
This report has serious ramifications for Eastman’s professional licensure and his defense in Georgia. Moreover, his co-defendant and co-counsel in the alleged legal scheme, Kenneth Chesebro, who has employed many of the same excuses as Eastman, might be in serious jeopardy in his Oct. 23 trial. (Another lawyer, Sidney Powell, also requested a speedy trial.)

"Former President #Trump 'sold' his Mar-A-Lago, Florida estate just weeks before he was arrested in Fulton County, #Georgia
According to Zillow, the residence was sold on August 4th 2023 for $422,000,000.
Upon closer inspection, it appears that the estate was transferred to his son Donald Trump Jr.
"While Zillow does not provide details about who bought the property, the website SunBiz said that the current owner of Mar-a-Lago is a company called Mar-a-Lago Inc., owned by the former president's eldest son," #Newsweek reported."
"So much winning"....
Sometimes one's number comes up!

Psychopath vs. psychopath. Pass the popcorn
Trump is setting himself up to throw his accused co-conspirators under the bus: reporter
Trump would not hesitate to throw his own children under the buss to save himself. The more intelligent of his co-conspirators surely know this. And given that they allied themselves with Trump, one can reasonably expect that they are as psychopathic as he is.
So the delicious question becomes Who will betray whom first and most effectively?
Given that these are all wealthy powerful people, there's a better-than-even chance that not a single one of them will suffer any legal consequences. But given that they're all ruthless psychopaths, there's at least a small chance we'll get to see some metaphorical throat-cutting before they all get off scot free.

TrumpVirus Gazette…
Here’s my cumulative take-away, thin-sliced from watching Fani Willis, seeing some various summaries across networks, and ending with some perspective from Neal Katyal (lawyer, former impeachment manager, solicitor general, & author of several key policies)…
I have been picturing the GA-style RICO model as more of a wheel, with points around it connecting like spokes to anyone else, not so much the Federal RICO top-down pyramid. It’s important because for RICO charges you need to be connected to at least two different ‘racketeering acts’. If you’re a lower-level actor, say acting on direction to do one thing in the scheme, you might be an important witness who would be wise to flip, rather than be charged for two acts. Etc. (Katyal also noted this added incentive to ‘flip’).
So… Donald J #Trump was named 193 times in the first indictment; all roads lead to him.
(Why did you do this one crime? Because President Trump/Mr. Giuliani told me to!)
Clarification on the punishment, pardons, jail time etc. - As Fani Williis explained succinctly, in a brief Q&A, under GA law, jail is mandatory for this crime. It cannot be pardoned by the governor. They can seek pardon/parole - after 5 years. In Georgia, but the parole board is not allowed to review appeals for parole until after 5 years is served. So… jail if convicted.
One of the very detailed conspiratorial meetings was apparently between #Giuliani & Sidney Powell. Plus un-named co-conspirator twenty-something. Katyal noted that Giuliani gave a statement following the indictment, calling it an “affront to democracy” and blaming the justice efforts for being the real ‘criminals’. He (Katyal) bemoaned how Rudy showed no hint of contrition. (Surprise?)
A panelist asked if getting Rudy to flip was a possibility, or if not how central he is to the whole case. No, said Katyal, ‘he’s not critical; he’s just gravy’.
In summary/conclusion Katyal said that in his mind, 'the significance of the case ’ is… “the law catching up with Donald Trump”.
Can we even imagine a time without dog-whistles of racism & hate, name-calling and vilification, #disinformation & lie after lie, all while grifting and stirring up passion for his alternative cult of #TrumpVirus? Stop the rampant 'one man crime spree', and give the Devil his due - some big beautiful walls.
