The Georgian Invasion of South Ossetia and the Blame Game  

"We killed as many of them as we could. But where are our friends?"
- Georgian soldier retreating from S. Ossetia,
International Herald Tribune, August 12, 2008

"This conflict is very much about proving who is the bad guy."
- Anonymous Western diplomat in Tbilisi, Georgia,
to Borzou Daragahi of the Los Angeles Times,
August 19, 2008

The attack and invasion of South Ossetia by Georgian forces on August 7 resulted in a Russian counter-offensive, which certainly must have been expected by the Georgian leadership.  The resulting conflict created the ironic situation in which Georgia was compelled to withdraw its military force of 2,000 men from occupied-Iraq in order to be able to defend its own nation.    

The conflict in South Ossetia and Georgia developed while I was travelling in Germany.  From reading the newspapers, it was clear that the long-simmering conflict over disputed territories in the Caucasus was getting very serious when it was reported that Georgia had shelled residential districts of Tskhinvali, the capital of South Ossetia, during the first two days of August.  The Georgian shelling reportedly led to numerous deaths among civilians, with six South Ossetians killed and 15 wounded.  
One week later, on August 7-8, when the Georgian military launched, once again, a massive attack on the capital of South Ossetia, I concluded that the Georgian leader Mikhail Saakashvili must be mad. Why else would the leadership of any small nation, presumably interested in self preservation, attack Russian citizens in a disputed territory on the border with Russia?
Only a lunatic would attack a disputed autonomous region which Russia has openly and repeatedly pledged to defend. My Estonian wife, who has travelled extensively throughout the Soviet Union, visited Georgia, Ossetia, and Abkhazia in the 1980s and has very fond memories of the people and the region.  She thought the American-schooled Saakashvili was simply following orders.

"KRIEG!" (War!) screamed the one-word banner headline of Germany's Bild  newspaper on August 9, the day after the opening of the Olympics in China. I watched the television news coverage on CNN and BBC World as the "Crisis in Georgia" developed and realized that Saakashvili was either completely delusional, insane, or under the control of outside forces.

Saakashvili's offensive caused a humanitarian catastrophe as thousands of South Ossetians and Georgian civilians were displaced by the fighting. Stephen Sackur, the host of BBC's "Hard Talk" program challenged the Georgian government's propaganda and repeatedly asked a member of the Georgian government if he would admit that Saakashvili had miscalculated and committed a tremendous blunder in attacking South Ossetia.  Although the Georgian official avoided answering the question, this clearly remains the question that needs to be answered.  Why did Saakashvili attack South Ossetia and who is really behind the criminal aggression?

"Georgia is in tatters and the buck stops with its president, Mikhail Saakashvili, a man who has proved himself both one of the West's staunchest allies, and its greatest liability," Owen Matthews wrote in the Daily Mail (U.K.) of August 13, 2008.

"NO MATTER HOW IT STARTED"
 
Opinion pieces in U.S. newspapers, on the other hand, tend to obscure the facts about who is responsible for starting the fighting. "No matter how it started, the Russian response is outsized and redolent of the brutal approach toward dissenting states that Moscow took during the Cold War," Edward P. Joseph opined on August 12 in the International Herald Tribune, a newspaper which is wholly owned by the New York Times.

Mr. Joseph is clearly an anti-Russian partisan. The question of who started the conflict should be foremost in the mind of an unbiased analyst. The evidence indicates that Georgia started this war with its aggression of South Ossetia.

"Exactly what happened in South Ossetia last week is unclear," Ronald D. Asmus and Richard Holbrooke wrote in the Washington Post  of August 11, 2008, adding, "But we know, without doubt, that Georgia was responding to repeated provocative attacks by South Ossetian separatists controlled and funded by Moscow."

How can Holbrooke and Asmus say they know "without doubt" that Georgia was responding to "provocative attacks" while they admit being "unclear" about the events leading up to the war?  Holbrooke, it should be noted, was a major player in the "Balkanization" or dismemberment of the former Yugoslavia.

"Whatever mistakes Tbilisi has made," Holbrooke wrote, "they cannot justify Russia's actions. Moscow has invaded a neighbor, an illegal act of aggression that violates the U.N. Charter and fundamental principles of cooperation and security in Europe."

But what about the Georgian invasion and aggression against the people of South Ossetia?  The Ossetians are an ancient Aryan nation that was divided by Josef Stalin, a Georgian from Gori.  South Ossetia was made part of the Georgian Soviet Socialist Rupublic, but Ossetians clearly do not want to be part of Georgia.  Russia has issued the residents of the disputed territory Russian passports.  They had no other choice; they do not want to be Georgians.

In the Soviet Union, South Ossetia was an autonomous area within the Georgian SSR. Georgia's first post-Soviet president, Zviad Gamsakhurdia, abolished S. Ossetia's autonomy in 1991. The South Ossetian's rejected the decision to annex their territory and put up an armed resistance to the Georgians.

In January 1991, warfare broke out between Georgia and South Ossetia with heavy casualties on both sides.  After the war, Georgia lost control of the territory and peacekeeping forces were brought into the disputed region in 1992.

RUSSIA SOUGHT PEACEFUL RESOLUTION

"Russia had not appeared poised for an invasion last week," C.J. Chivers wrote in the International Herald Tribune of August 12. As late as Wednesday [August 6], American and Georgian officials said that Russian diplomats had been pressing for negotiations between Georgia and South Ossetia, Chivers reported.

"It doesn't look like this was premeditated, with a massive staging of equipment," a senior American official said. "Until the night before the fighting, Russia seemed to be playing a constructive role."

Following the Georgian attacks of August 1-2, Russia's foreign ministry had contacted the Bush administration and had urged Washington to put pressure on Tbilisi to ease tensions, the Agence France Press (AFP) reported on August 4:

"Russia has already urged Tbilisi to take a responsible position and also counts on Washington's constructive influence," it said in a statement, released after a telephone conversation between Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin and US Assistant Secretary of State Daniel Fried.

Russia has expressed its deep concern over the new level of tensions surrounding South Ossetia, Georgia's illegal steps to increase its armed forces in the region and the uncontrolled construction of fortifications.
The controlled media in the United States, however, unfairly blames Russia for the conflict.  While the Neo-Cons of the Bush administration continue to wage the Cold War from the comfort of their offices in the United States, it seems unwise and imprudent for the leaders of former Soviet republics and Warsaw Pact nations on the Russian border to parrot their absurd anti-Russian rhetoric.
   
Carl Bildt, the Swedish foreign minister, reportedly likened the Russian prime minister to Adolf Hitler.  Officials from the three Baltic republics have made statements criticizing Russia for its actions in defense of South Ossetia while their nations have occupation forces in Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

It is the height of hypocrisy to deny self determination to the people of South Ossetia and Abkhazia while supporting "independence" for the NATO-controlled "statelet" of Kosovo.

"WHEN IS NATO COMING?"

The most damning evidence of Georgian war crimes came from the mouths of Georgian soldiers retreating from South Ossetia, as reported from Gori, Georgia in the International Herald Tribune on August 12:
As a column of soldiers passed through Gori, a black-robed priest came out of his church and made the sign of the cross again and again.

One soldier, his face a mask of exhaustion, cradled a Kalashnikov, "We killed as many of them as we could," he said.  "But where are our friends?"
It was the question of the day.  As Russian forces massed Sunday on two fronts, Georgians were heading south with whatever they could carry.  When they met Western journalists, they all said the same thing:  Where is the United States?  When is NATO coming?
Ossetians who fled to the Alagir camp in North Ossetia told "a very different story to those who view the events of the last week as Georgia's plucky struggle against a heavy-handed and imperialist Russia," Catherine Belton reported in the Financial Times on August 16.  

"Many of their accounts are muddled, but the prevailing view in this camp on the Russian side of the Caucasus mountains is that Georgia's pro-western leader, Mikheil Saakashvili, tried to wipe out their breakaway enclave," Belton reported:

This camp houses 344 refugees, is the nearest to the North Ossetian capital of Vladikavkaz and is the one most well-known to western journalists. The refugees' tales hand Russia potent fuel in a propaganda war and are certain to be used to accuse Mr Saakashvili of war crimes and ethnic cleansing.

"The Georgian government just went mad," said Leyla Bessateva, who fled snipers and rockets to escape from the village of Dominis, 12km away from Tskhinvali, the South Ossetian capital. "The Georgians came in and killed everyone. Who is guilty? It is Saakashvili. They burned all the houses, and they even set fire to the school and the hospital. Nothing remains. It all happened in one instant.

"They wanted to destroy South Ossetia in one night. All these villages, they encircled and took them..."

Other refugees spoke of the Georgian troops who had rampaged through their village and sent them into hiding along with other women and children in a cellar for two days. They eventually emerged and fled into the surrounding forest, only to be fired on by snipers.

Anna Neistat, a researcher with Human Rights Watch, said yesterday [August 15] that evidence was mounting that most of the destruction of Tskhinvali was caused by Georgians.
The Russians, on the other hand, appear to have been very careful not to hit civilians during their counter-offensive.  Borzou Daragahi of the Los Angeles Times reported on August 19 after taking a daylong tour led by Georgian government officials which revealed "few signs" of Russian destruction:

At least in western Georgia, the Russians appear to have used force minimally. Communications function, and electricity is uninterrupted.

Civilian fatalities in Georgia proper have climbed at least into the double digits, but the Russians appear to have avoided any inadvertent high-profile attacks on civilian targets. The Georgian Health Ministry reported two days ago that 67 civilians had been killed and about 157 hurt in the conflict.

The Russians appear to have carefully calibrated their intervention to cause minimum damage while exerting maximum political pressure...
Despite claims that Russia is destroying Georgia's civilian infrastructure, much of it remains intact in the country's west. Residents said shops were full. In the resort city of Batumi, residents could be seen swimming off the pebbly beaches of the Black Sea.
U.S. PROVOCATIONS CONTINUE
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called for NATO to reaffirm support for Georgia's bid for membership, warning that Russia had a "strategic objective" of preventing the Western alliance's expansion, AFP reported.

"Rice will continue on to Warsaw to sign a deal on deploying part of a missile defence shield on Polish territory, a plan that Russia describes as hostile," the AFP report continued.

Enlarging NATO, an anti-Russian alliance, to include Georgia and Ukraine is clearly a threat to Russia as is the U.S. missile system planned to be deployed in Poland.  When the Soviet Union tried to deploy missiles in Cuba during the Kennedy administration it nearly caused a nuclear war.  Of course Russia has a "strategic objective" in preventing itself from being surrounded by a hostile alliance.  These U.S. actions are extremely provocative and reckless.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev visited Vladikavkaz, near the border with South Ossetia, on 18 August.  "We do not want a deterioration of international relations; we want to be respected. We want our people, our values to be respected," he said. "We have always been a peace-loving state. There is practically not a single occasion in the history of the Russian or Soviet state where we initiated military actions," Medvedev said.

As NATO held a high-level meeting to discuss the Georgian crisis, Dmitry Rogozin, Russia's ambassador to NATO, said he hoped the "decisions by NATO will be balanced and that responsible forces in the West will give up the total cynicism that has been so evident [and which] is pushing us back to the Cold War era," AP reported.

Khanverse, something's definitely rotten with Bollyn. He's towing the Zionist line.

PS: Did you see a pic of him on the website taken in Germany? Isn't he running away from the police?!??!?

[Anonymous]

No one wants to believe it but take a listen to this about Bollyn. Why hasn't he made any mention of Missing Links, I mean shit, it is mostly his work...

Listen: http://prothink.podomatic.com/enclosure/2008-02-22T19_39_01-08_00.mp3

Indeed very odd but not surprising imho

have you read his new 9/11 article?

it names a lot more people:

http://www.bollyn.info

i really don't know wtf is going on...

I mean Jerome Hauer, Zionist Khazar Monster is implicated.  The Yoran connection is re-highlighted...

I have no idea... No one has claimed to see him in more than a year.

That article is super long, I haven't gotten through it all.  Seems more of a rough draft, take your time and read it and tell me what you think...

[Ralph Furely]

i gave up on him a while ago.  it is confusing when he puts out articles like that one naming all those names,
but the rest of his situation always stinks now.  and the 1st article posted only makes it worse.



edit:  is anyone else only seeing half the page at that bollyn.info site?  its all cut off for me.

edit again to nm

[Anonymous]

yea, my link was faulty, i fixed it...

here's the article i was talkin about:

http://www.bollyn.info/home/articles/91 ... behind911/

Apparently at NIST there's a resident Khazar who was appointed (annointed) to do the coverup.

These rats are under every rock.



^ The "program manager" for the NIST study of WTC 7 is a 46-year-old named Stephen A. Cauffman from Falls Church/Arlington, Virginia.

If all these new players are accurate, it seems another movie will certainly be necessary to really nail these monkeys to the wall.

Just let it be known, if I ever 'disappear' and and no one has seen seen me for even a month then and people are just saying I ran off somewhere then please raise hell because I tend to be VERY public and out in the open so people know I am alright. Also if you see my info taking steps back like Bollyn's then question that shit too because I have no plans on backing off these monsters anytime soon. Maybe take a short break here and there to sharpen my sword but never quitting only refining my work at exposing and coming up with solutions to the problem.

I'll second that, I have no plans to run off either

[Ralph Furely]

he hasnt been getting 'funds' from AFP for yrs.  im pretty sure hes always been hurting for money.  fact remains he changed big time after he left the country.  something has happened, that is for sure.  if this article on Georgia isnt proof of that i dont know what is.  how can he not even mention Israel?  theyre all over it.  
i used to promote the hell out of bollyn, he was the best we had, he still has the best 9/11 research/info, and hell always be owed great gratitude for that.  but now is different than then.  hes not on the up and up.  hes a different man.  none of us can really put the finger on exactly what the hell is going on with him, but something sure is.

ive always said fuck Piper.  hes always stunk to me.  it also stunk to me when Eustace turned coat all the sudden and started hating Daryl, and then went right over to Piper to talk about it.  Eustace always had all kindsa shit to say about Piper.  but now he likes him, i guess.
