This Georgia situation has been brought into an especially ridiculous light as at the same time the Americans are flipping out and calling it a “Russian law,” the Department of Justice just charged Russians under FARA, the US version of this law.

Euronews:

The registration window for organisations to declare themselves ‘foreign agents’ under a controversial new law closed on 2 September.

The vast majority of NGOs in Georgia have refused to register themselves on the so-called “foreign agents” database under the controversial Transparency of Foreign Influence law — often referred to as the “Russian law”.

When the 30-day registration period closed on 2 September, only 469 out of approximately 30,000 NGOs active in the country had registered.

Why are there 30,000 NGOs in Georiga?

If they are not attempting to undermine the government and society in the name of the US, what exactly are they doing?

I’m sure it’s all women’s rights and homosexuality and mass immigration.

How do they claim this is not an American agenda?

The remaining organisations refused to comply, claiming the law is inspired by illiberal Russian legislation and threatens freedom of speech and democracy.

Under the law, NGOs receiving more than 20% of their funding from foreign donors would have to register as organisations “bearing the interests of a foreign power”. Failure to do so will result in severe penalties, including an initial fine of just over €8,399 followed by a monthly fine of roughly €6,712.

“All the organisations that have registered say that both the registry and the ‘Russian-style law’ contradict their values,” Guram Imnadze, Programme Director of the Social Justice Centre, told Euronews. “They didn’t register of their own free will, they just did it to prolong their existence in the short term.

This particular NGO is almost entirely staffed by women and almost entirely funded by foreigners.

I can see why they don’t want people asking too many questions.

“Under the law there is no discrepancy between registered and un-registered organisations. This creates problems for those that work toward maintaining democracy and justice in this country.”

The EU, meanwhile, has warned the law could jeopardise Georgia’s progress toward joining the bloc.

The law is already being challenged in Georgia’s Constitutional Court. Lawsuits have been filed by 121 civil society and independent media organisations, a number of opposition MPs and two journalists.

President Salome Zourabichvili has also filed a case, claiming the law violates Georgia’s constitutional commitment to joining the European Union and NATO.

A preliminary hearing was held in the Constitutional Court in August, but constitutional law scholar and former Georgian MP Vakhtang Khmaladze does not believe the law will be suspended in the meantime.

Everyone who refused to register should just be rounded up and thrown in prison.

Why does anyone think the US should be able to run all of these organizations in Georgia to undermine the society?

Is that the rules-based order?

Soros really loves you, goy

Georgia has been a weird battleground between the people of the country and the Americans. This has been going on for quite a while.

America goes into your country and tells women, students, and sexual deviants what to do using super-emotional propaganda, and then makes you look like the bad guy simply for trying to defend your own country.

CNN:

Violent clashes erupted between protesters and police in Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi, on Tuesday as the country’s parliament continued debating a controversial “foreign agents” bill, criticized by Western and domestic opponents as authoritarian and Russian-inspired.

The bill, dubbed “the Russian law” by critics due to parallels with legislation used by the Kremlin to crack down on dissent, has been reintroduced for debate by the ruling Georgian Dream party, after it was dropped last year amid a wave of protests.

The legislation, which would require organizations that accept funds from abroad to register as foreign agents or face fines, has been criticized by Western countries, including the US and Britain, and seen by rights groups as an attempt to curtail basic freedoms in the country.

Imagine that this law is opposed by people who spent years screeching about how Putin posted memes about Hillary on Facebook.

“Second night of massive protest in Tbilisi against the Russian Law,” Georgia’s President Salome Zourabichvili said in a post on social media on Tuesday.

“Insistence of the authorities to push through this law against the will of the population and despite partners protest is a direct provocation – a Russian strategy of destabilization,” said Zourabichvili, who has vowed to repeal the law if it crosses her desk.

The people demand that foreign agents not be registered!

It is the will of the people that all foreign agents be allowed to operate in total secrecy!

Note: The US has a “Foreign Agents Registration Act” (FARA) that they actually charge people under, but demands no other country have this. It’s similar to the American censorship regime – they censor everyone, especially Andrew Anglin, while demanding other countries allow American filth to pour into their internet tubes.

The Georgian Dream party, which has been pushing for the law, has the parliamentary majority which could override a presidential veto.

Videos shared on activist Telegram channels and news agencies showed riot police trying to clear demonstrators from the area around the parliament. In the videos, police could be seen grabbing protesters by the clothes and firing what appeared to be water cannons.

…

Dramatic scenes unfolded inside the ex-Soviet country’s parliament a day earlier, as Georgian television showed the leader of the Georgian Dream party, Mamuka Mdinaradze, being punched in the face by opposition lawmaker Aleko Elisashvili. A wider brawl between several lawmakers followed.

Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have denounced the “foreign agents” law, saying if adopted, it would also “impose additional onerous reporting requirements, inspections, and administrative and criminal liability, including up to five years in prison for violations.”

The legislation is “incompatible with international human rights law and standards that protect the rights to freedom of expression and association,” Human Rights Watch warned.

Haha.

It’s about human rights???

It’s just whatever. Everything is whatever. Nothing that these people say means anything. It is all just a bunch of gibberish. This gibberish will switch back and forth, spin around, and then start blinking wildly, causing seizures for epileptics.

This gibberish is designed to dazzle the witless.

You can’t argue with it, because it has no inherent meaning, and if you start an argument against it, all of a sudden it transforms into something else entirely.

The United States screams about freedom of speech in countries that they do not completely dominate.

Whenever they say that, ask them: “yeah but what happened to the Daily Stormer???”

They do not support freedom on principle, they support their own agenda like everyone else.

Cambodians are not obligated to forego their own agenda in order to assist America’s agenda because of abstract principles that America violates a lot more than anyone else.

CNN is of course siding with the terrorists once again:

One of Cambodia’s last remaining independent media outlets has been shut down by Prime Minister Hun Sen ahead of national elections in July, in a move condemned by rights groups as a blow to press freedom.

Based in the capital Phnom Penh, Voice of Democracy (VOD), a local outlet run by the Cambodian Center for Independent Media, published radio and online reports about labor and rights issues, environmental crime and political corruption.

You can look into this and you’ll find it was not an independent outlet and actually got funding from a bunch of globalist organizations.

I don’t feel like going through and figuring it out right now, but I can just tell you matter of factly that this is true.

No. No, you know what – hold up.

I’m gonna do it. I’m a journalist, damn it, and I’m gonna do it.

This is from their “about” page:

That link takes me to this (heh):

That site is of course exactly everything you would expect:

Now let’s check out their “Donors” page, shall we?

And here we go:

This is from the website of the second organization listed, the CCIM:

The Cambodian Center for Independent Media (CCIM) was established in the first quarter of 2007 and duly registered with the Ministry of Interior on June 15, 2007 as a non-governmental organization (NGO). CCIM was organized to work for the promotion of independent media, press freedom, freedom of expression, access to information and internet freedom.

CCIM began its operation by continuing the production and broadcast of radio programs dubbed Voice of Democracy (VOD), which was started by the Cambodian Center for Human Rights in 2003 until 2007.

This is who funds them, according to their own site:

Since its establishment, CCIM has been funded by a number of donors, among others, the International Republican Institute (IRI), Delegation of European Union in Cambodia, British Embassy, Australian Embassy, Deusche Welle Academie, Transparency International, Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), IFEX International, Reporters Without Borders, Action Aid Cambodia, Freedom House, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), Cambodia Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, and Canada Fund.

CCIM is currently supported by a number of partners, such as the Open Society Foundations (OSF), Diakonia, Dan Church Aid (DCA), Bread for the World, Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung (RLS), Transparency International Cambodia (TIC), Internews, International Media Support (IMS), etc.

And there you have it. This media is not Cambodian and it is not independent. This is all just total bullshit.

It is so, so, so tiresome to just look at things in the media you know nothing about and automatically understand everything about them and also know that 99.99999% of the population has no idea.

It’s a horrible curse.

Anyway, it is what it is.

Let’s get back to it.

No one in Southeast Asia cares about this goofy democracy tripe unless they are paid to care about it. Honestly, I’ve been to these countries. They don’t even understand this gibberish. They are much too literal minded to ever grasp why you would want to cause all of these problems that democracy causes for the sake of abstractions.

It reported last week that Hun Manet, son of the prime minister, allegedly signed an agreement to donate aid to Turkey, which was struck by a catastrophic earthquake last week. The report alluded to an apparent overstep of his authority.

See, this is just tedious bullshit.

Hun Sen refuted the report and issued statements on Facebook accusing the outlet of attacking his son and hurting the “dignity and reputation” of the Cambodian government.

He also refused to accept an official apology from VOD and added that its newsroom staff “should look for jobs elsewhere.”

Government officials revoked VOD’s operating license on Monday and blocked its websites in English and Khmer.

Several VOD staff took to social media to share news of the company’s sudden closure.

“It has reached the end point,” wrote Mech Dara, one of its reporters, on Twitter. “I (thought) we might have survived longer.”

They don’t show you the tweet. Look at his English.

My teach told me it has come but i do not believe it but it has reached the end point…everyone keep asking me how long can we survive. i told we might survive longer than we expected but it is very shorter than our expectation @VOD_English @VODKhmer https://t.co/MIjI24hFAw

That guy doesn’t know anything about democracy. He knows he has an easy job with Western funding, where he just writes copy for some office in New York or Brussels.

But the fact that these people were allowed to keep doing this until they directly attacked the president’s son shows how light this “autocracy oppression” actually is.

The government didn’t even arrest anyone, they just closed the office of people who were making problems on the behalf of foreign powers.

He told CNN that many journalists were “still in shock” after Monday’s events.

“We were expecting it to happen but not so quickly,” he said. “We fought for the truth. We always have but clearly some people could not handle it.”

“There are so many stories to be told about Cambodia from Cambodia and this extends to the wider region – countries like Myanmar and Vietnam,” he added. “It’s a space that’s getting narrower and narrower and voices are stifled so that the outside world can’t see in.”

…

Hun Sen has served as the country’s prime minister since 1985, making him one of the world’s longest serving leaders.

During his tenure, several independent newspapers and websites have been shut down and dozens of opposition figures jailed or forced into exile.

And several of them have been proved to have links to the CIA.

It’s just so exhausting.

“Voice of Democracy has served as an important mainstay of independent investigative reporting and objective criticism for years,” said Phil Robertson, deputy Asia director at Human Rights Watch. “Hun Sen’s closure of VOD is a devastating blow to media freedom in the country and will have an impact across Cambodian society.”

And there you go.

“The Cambodian people are the ultimate losers because they have lost one of the last remaining sources of independent news on issues affecting their lives, livelihoods and human rights.”

It’s not “independent”! Look at the funding page!

I wonder if Cambodian state media explained this or just didn’t even bother.

Amnesty International said the closure served as “a clear warning to other critical voices” months before national elections in July.

“The Prime Minister should immediately withdraw this heavy handed and disproportionate order,” it said.

…

“Governments [around the world] must educate citizens about the dangers of [those in power in] Cambodia because the Cambodian government won’t play its part in doing so.”

Western ambassadors in the country expressed their concerns about the closure of VOD.

“We are deeply troubled by the abrupt decision to revoke VOD’s media license,” according to a statement from the US embassy in Phnom Penh. “A free and independent press is the cornerstone of any functioning democracy, providing the public and decision makers with facts and holding governments to account,” it added.

“We urge the Cambodian authorities to revisit this decision.”

“Germany believes in the free access of information as the basis for free and fair elections,” said the German embassy. “The freedom of press in Cambodia has lost one of its last remaining independent media outlets.”

It just never ends.

They have pictures of these people out there protesting.

But look at them.

You are going to tell me those people are really concerned about – what is it even supposed to be about?

No one even understands what this democracy thing is supposed to be.

But here’s something I can guarantee you: those people have more real life freedom than an American is even capable of comprehending.

This international conspiracy is well-funded. These people get paid well. And I’m sure they enjoy their co-workers and so on. Losing your job always sucks. But showing those pictures of those people protesting and saying “they love trans rights and the international banking system!” is both ridiculous and offensive.

Free Speech

I personally do believe people should have freedom of speech, generally. And obviously the Cambodians do or they would have shut this down a lot earlier.

But what are you supposed to do when these foreigners come into your country and exploit your preference for freedom to pay a bunch of people to undermine confidence in the state so that American companies can come in and cannibalize your country?

The obvious thing is to declare these organizations outside of the bounds of freedom of speech, given that they are espionage groups. That language can be used fairly, I think.

I want to go read Cambodian comments on Facebook and see what people are saying. I might follow up on this.

It’s really something that people need to understand: the US State Department, the United Nations, and George Soros have a network that spans the entire world and enforces the Jewish agenda. In countries where they do not already have total power, they use these “human rights” groups to undermine the state.

They send in people to overthrow the government and when those people get put in prison they say they’re democracy fighters oppressed for human rights purposes.

I don’t know the details in Cambodia, but it’s a small country that is siding with the Chinese over the sickening blood-drinking Americans, so I’m sure the details would be enlightening.

Basically, everything that happens on the entire planet is some kind of scam orchestrated by the Jews.
