Summary

Kit Klarenberg is back to provide some important context for the uprisings in Georgia. They start with the Eastern European country’s transition after the fall of the Soviet Union and the influence that the U.S. has enjoyed there since. That brings them to the recently proposed legislation that would have required Georgian organizations to disclose funding from any foreign governments. The proposal was met with sharp condemnation from Western officials who labeled it a threat to the Georgian people’s ability to fulfill their own economic and social aspirations. Scott and Klarenberg talk about how ludicrous this assertion is and pull back the curtain on what really explains the protests that erupted as a result. Discussed on the show: “Dare Call It A Coup? CIA Front Threatens Color Revolution In Georgia” (MintPress News) Kit Klarenberg is an investigative journalist exploring the role of intelligence services in shaping politics and perceptions.
