Whilst looking into the current crisis in Georgia I found an article which I could not disagree with. Whilst watching the video, the key thing to note is the weaponry used. All state of the art. The most notable being the sonic weapons. First deployed in Iraq by the US military, it then appeared on the streets in 2004 in use by the LAPD. The following is from Americans Unite:

Dead civilians in South Ossetia. But you will not hear much about it on CNN or Faux News. They are too busy reporting ad nauseam about the extramarital shenanigans of CFR darling John Edwards...

In order to find out what's really going on in Georgia, you have to read the international press on the internet. Bush, McCain and Obama may cast blame on Russia, however reading the international press you get a different perspective. "Russian officials believe that it was the US that orchestrated the current conflict. The chairman of the State Duma Committee for Security, Vladimir Vasilyev, believes that the current conflict in South Ossetia is very reminiscent to the wars in Iraq and Kosovo," reports Pravda, the Russian newspaper.

Imagine Canada decided to enter a military and diplomatic alliance with Russia and began arming itself to the teeth with Russian weapons and training with Russian military advisers. Can you guess what the reaction of Bush and the neocons would be? It doesn't take much imagination.

It appears the CIA has worked behind the scenes for quite a while in Georgia. In 1993, CIA agent Fred Woodruff was assassinated by unknown assailants outside of Tbilisi. "Spokesmen for the State Department and the C.I.A. declined to confirm that Mr. Woodruff was working for the intelligence agency" in the wake of Georgia's much vaunted — by the U.S. corporate media — "revolution".

The installed government of autocrat Mikheil Saakashvilli wasted little time imposing "democracy" neocon-style, resulting in violent suppression of opposition political rallies. "Georgia was rocked by opposition rallies for six days last November as protesters occupied central Tbilisi demanding Saakashvili's resignation over allegations of corruption and increasing authoritarianism," reported RIA Novosti. "The Georgian leader responded by sending in riot police to crack down on protesters on November 7. Over 500 people were injured according to Human Rights Watch as police used rubber bullets, tear gas and water cannons to break up the demonstrations." In addition, Saakashvilli's goons used "non-lethal" weapons of the sort developed by the Pentagon.

Last month, Aljazeera reported that "a total of around 1,650 soldiers form the US, Georgia and several other East European countries, have begun exercises on the formerly Russian-controlled Vaziani base, the Georgian defence ministry said". NowPublic reported on July 17, "US officials insist the long-planned wargames have nothing to do with the recent dispute between Russia and Georgia over the breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. This gives Washington a chance to support pro-west Tbilisi at a critical time". If you believe this, I have a bridge for sale. In fact, these "long-planned wargames" were so important, the State Department shipped off Condi Rice to Georgia. Her arrival was nicely timed to coincide with "a deadly firefight between Georgian troops and separatists in a Russian-backed breakaway region....

Ahead of Rice's arrival, a senior State Department official who did not want to be identified, told reporters that unchecked conflict in the region could lead to catastrophe. The official also said Moscow should realize its Soviet empire is gone". Israel gets in on the act. "In addition to the spy drones, Israel has also been supplying Georgia with infantry weapons and electronics for artillery systems, and has helped upgrade Soviet-designed Su-25 ground attack jets assembled in Georgia", according to Koba Liklikadze, an independent military expert based in Tbilisi. Former Israeli generals also serve as advisers to the Georgian military," reports the International Herald Tribune. No wonder the horrific photos emerging from South Ossetia have that Lebanon invasion look about them. Israel has over fifty years of experience in invading small countries and has consistently specialised in murdering and tormenting civilians.

It looks like Russia will be obliged to deal with Georgia's treachery on its own. Regrettably, Russia's response will entail even more murder of innocents and wholesale destruction, as this is how government historically deals with threats -- real, imagined, or provocateured.

From The Broken Chessboard:

My fear over these developments, is that now the US has an excuse to weaken Russia via the markets. This is in order to get Russia to back down over their pro Iran stance and allow US missile and radar bases to be built in their neighbouring countries. If that happened the US would have a serious stronghold over the middle east and the worlds oil and gas supplies as invading Iran would only have opposition from China. That would only be on the surface too as China is bankrolling the US at the moment.

At that point there are three options.

1. World War III - No one could sustain their economy if oil hits $200-$300 dollars a barrell.

2. US Monopoly of Money and Fuel - We all sit back and watch the corporate takeover.

3. The world dumps ALL there dollar reserves in favour of the Euro. Ending the US as we know it. - One beast is killed and another rises to supreme power, the EU.

None of these outcomes is desirable for obvious reasons. The only way to stop it is waking up Americans to take back their country, cease empire building and reverse what may be irreversible aggression.
