And now we’ll see who’s funding all the NGOs in Georgia.

    What amazes me about this whole affair is the level of support the public seem to have for something that’s obviously not in their interests. Honestly I think the US have some kind of mass hypnosis device. Who can look at what happened to the Ukraine and think, “Yes, that’s what I want! To be used for the geopolitical manoeuvring of the USA!”. Are they stupid?

        Thanks. I was aware of the extent of the penetration of the foreign influence, the numbers of NGOs etc. What surprises me still is that people can’t see beyond their immediate, temporary small financial gain to what is obviously threatening to become Ukraine 2.0.

        But even as I type that and say it out loud I just have to look around my own vicinity and see how the war propaganda has done a number on people’s brains and completely fucked them up. But surely there’s an awakening happening now? Plus, these people are right next door. I despair of people a lot lately.

            Well not a genocide so far anyway. All the normies in my life are staying silent on it and refusing to engage. I think it’s some kind of defense mechanism, they’re burying their heads in the sand and hoping things will go back to normal. I think facing up to the reality of Gaza and the propandised reporting of it also means facing up to other uncomfortable truths, such as Ukraine.

              Indeed, in the end it’s all connected, and once you start to pull on that thread then you come to some unpalatable realizations.
