In yet another World War Three provoking move the US dictatorship has sent a navy warship, the USS McFaul, to Georgia!
For humanitarian aid of course...
BUT... Right on the ship's website it tells us the USS McFaul's mission:
"To conduct prompt and sustained combat operations at sea in support of national interest."
This is NOT a humanitarian ship!
Note that Reuters and most other news media clearly says Georgia was the aggressor NOT Russia:
"...The Russia-Georgia conflict erupted on August 7-8 when Tbilisi [ie Georgia] tried to retake South Ossetia. A Russian counter-offensive pushed into Georgia proper..."
Georgia, backed by the US, was the clear instigator of this war.
"...Despite repeated demands for a complete Russian pullback to positions before the conflict, the West lacks leverage over a resurgent Russia whose oil and gas it sorely needs. ..."
Follow the money honey. Its largely about the oil. If the US/NWO can intimidate the Russian Federation sufficiently they may be able to gain political influence and control of Russia's oil.
They hope.
U.S. officials have said the conflict could affect Russia's membership in the Group of Eight industrialized nations and its bid to join the World Trade Organisation.
The WTO is one of the main organs of the Bilderberg Group. Russia would doubtless like the economic benefits of WTO membership however as this threat shows, the US and EU runs the show and membership will be used to blackmail world powers. Nations that refuse to accept Bilderberg authority and the ideas of Novis Ordo Seclorum will be attacked and destroyed, as the US is currently preparing to do with Russia and Iran.
U.S. navy arrives in Georgia
By Niko Mchedlishvili 1 hour, 42 minutes ago
BATUMI, Georgia (Reuters) - A U.S. navy warship delivered humanitarian aid on Sunday for victims of Georgia's brief war with Russia while Moscow ignored Western demands to pull its remaining troops from the Caucasus country's heartland.
Russia says residual troops are peacekeepers needed to avert further bloodshed and to protect Georgia's separatist, pro-Moscow provinces of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Moscow withdrew the bulk of its forces from core Georgia on Friday.
But in a sign of simmering tensions, a fuel train exploded on Georgia's main east-west rail line on Sunday near the central town of Gori after hitting a landmine, according to Georgian officials. A huge plume of black smoke climbed into the sky.
Georgia's Prime Minister Lado Gurgenidze told Reuters the damaged rail link was vital to the economy of Georgia and its neighbors, and Azeri officials said oil cargoes were being held up at the Georgian border following the explosion.
The Russia-Georgia conflict erupted on August 7-8 when Tbilisi tried to retake South Ossetia. A Russian counter-offensive pushed into Georgia proper, crossing its main east-west highway and nearing a Western-backed oil pipeline from Azerbaijan.
Russian troops also moved into Western Georgia from Abkhazia, another breakaway region on the Black Sea. Hundreds of people were killed, tens of thousands displaced and housing and infrastructure wrecked in the fighting.
A Reuters reporter in Batumi, 80 kilometers (50 miles) south of the port of Poti where Russian troops are still present, saw a giant crane unload 55 tons of aid from the USS McFaul.
Two other U.S. ships were due to follow the guided missile destroyer to the port. The United States, a strong ally of Georgia, has already delivered some aid by military cargo plane but is now shipping in beds and food.
"The United States is our great friend. They have arrived at such a difficult time. It means we are not alone," Georgian Defence Minister David Kezerashvili told reporters in Batumi.
TRADE ROUTE
The United States and Europe fear the continued Russian presence in Georgia will cement the country's ethnic partition, undermine President Mikheil Saakashvili's pro-Western government and threaten vital energy pipelines criss-crossing the country.
Russia's action has also unnerved other ex-Soviet republics.
In a clear swipe at Moscow, Ukraine's President Viktor Yushchenko said on Sunday his country -- home to a large ethnic Russian population -- must boost its defenses and speed up its efforts to join NATO.
Russia sees the ex-Soviet republics as part of its legitimate sphere of influence and opposes their NATO bids, but the U.S. envoy to the Caucasus said Russia had inadvertently helped Georgia's bid for NATO membership with its actions.
In Georgia, the West is particularly worried about a Russian checkpoint set up at the port of Poti, which lies outside the security zone Russia says is covered by its peacekeeping mandate and is hundreds of kilometers from South Ossetia.
"Putting up permanent facilities and checkpoints are inconsistent with the (ceasefire) agreement," White House spokesmanGordon Johndroe said.
Underscoring the potential for renewed violence, Russian soldiers manning a checkpoint on the road between Zugdidi and Senaki in western Georgia fired shots in the air to disperse a protest by angry residents. No injuries were reported.
Russia has deployed its "peacekeepers" at a series of posts in the Poti area and also in a buffer zone outside South Ossetia and Abkhazia, saying they are allowed under the terms of a French-brokered ceasefire deal. But France urged Moscow on Saturday to order its forces out of Poti as soon as possible.
Though not Georgia's busiest port for oil, Poti can load up to 100,000 barrels per day of oil products, which arrive by rail from Azerbaijan. It is also the gateway for merchandise moving to Georgia, other Caucasus republics and Central Asia.
BUFFER ZONE
French President Nicolas Sarkozy's office said he and Kremlin leader Dmitry Medvedev had agreed on Saturday on the need for an international mechanism under the auspices of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) to replace Russian patrols in a buffer zone south of South Ossetia.
In a conflicting account, the Kremlin said replacing Russian peacekeepers was not discussed. Russia has earlier said South Ossetians and Abkhazians would only accept Russian peacekeepers.
Pope Benedict urged Russia and Georgia on Sunday to keep their promises to resolve the crisis peacefully.
Despite repeated demands for a complete Russian pullback to positions before the conflict, the West lacks leverage over a resurgent Russia whose oil and gas it sorely needs.
U.S. officials have said the conflict could affect Russia's membership in the Group of Eight industrialized nations and its bid to join the World Trade Organisation.

On the lighter side, for those who thought the US State of Georgia was attacked by Russia, that was not the case... HOWEVER... It now appears that Alabama was!
Have you read those propaganda statements that Obama became a Illinois State Senator unopposed?
Do you know why he was unopposed?
The wildly popular Illinois State Senator Alice Palmer was going places, she was moving up and she invited Obama to run for her seat.
BUT things change and Alice Palmer decided to run for re-election instead. She asked Obama to back out of the race and support her.
But Obama refused and decided to run even though everyone said he didn't have a chance against Ms. Palmer.
SO... Obama got her application and found loopholes! Based on these loopholes he had her disqualified! His Harvard Law degree came in handy for something!
THEN he kept looking and found loopholes and minor errors in all the other candidates applications too and had every other candidate thrown out of the race!!
Surprise! Obama won unopposed!!!!
This is how Obama began his political career!
Dirty tricks!
NOW its Hillary and Alice's turn!
Alice Palmer is a key figure in Hillary's campaign!
Their Dirty Trick for Revenge:
Remember all those posts a while back claiming that Obama was not born in the US (because he was born before Hawaii became a state)?
A loophole...
McCain wasn't born in the US either technically, he was born in Panama
A loophole...
Most of us shrugged these stories off...
But not Hillary and Alice!! They were waiting for the best timing... Five days before the DNC... AND right after Obama announced that Hillary would not be his VP. It would have much easier for the Clinton's to have just killed Obama had she been his pick. But this may work just as well...
Hillary's friend Philip Berg has filed suit in Philadelphia five days prior to the Democratic Convention claiming that Obama's birth certificate clearly disqualifies him!
IF Obama can't be president the Democrats would vote Hillary!
IF Obama is disqualified over this loophole and Hillary become the nominee the US is almost certain going to explode with riots!
Enter martial law... And the Bush/Clinton Dynasty stays in power one way or the other!
Is this legal filing on Obama's birth certificate part of a carefully prepared ploy to trigger a crisis at the Democratic Convention? The suit was filed in Philadelphia five days prior to the Democratic Convention.
Philip Berg is close to Hillary Clinton. Is this action being launched because Hillary Clinton was not chosen as Obama's running mate for the office of the Vice President?
Will the law suit be allowed to proceed?
Are the Republicans supportive of this initiative? Will the lawsuit be used by the McCain campaign?
The mainstream media has not covered the issue. There is barely mention of the lawsuit in America's main news sources. The text of the Press Release is contained in Annex. Links to the main legal documents are also provided.
The article below is posted with a view to informing our readers. Global Research does not necessarily support the views expressed in the article.
Global Research will provide further analysis as events unfold.
Michel Chossudovsky, Global Research, August 23, 2008
A prominent Philadelphia attorney and Hillary Clinton supporter filed suit this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission. The action seeks an injunction preventing the senator from continuing his candidacy and a court order enjoining the DNC from nominating him next week, all on grounds that Sen. Obama is constitutionally ineligible to run for and hold the office of President of the United States.
Philip Berg, the filing attorney, is a former gubernatorial and senatorial candidate, former chair of the Democratic Party in Montgomery (PA) County, former member of the Democratic State Committee, and former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania. According to Berg, he filed the suit--just days before the DNC is to hold its nominating convention in Denver--for the health of the Democratic Party.
"I filed this action at this time," Berg stated, "to avoid the obvious problems that will occur when the Republican Party raises these issues after Obama is nominated.".
Berg cited a number of unanswered questions regarding the Illinois senator's background, and in today's lawsuit maintained that Sen. Obama is not a natural born U.S. citizen or that, if he ever was, he lost his citizenship when he was adopted in Indonesia. Berg also cites what he calls "dual loyalties" due to his citizenship and ties with Kenya and Indonesia.
Even if Sen. Obama can prove his U.S. citizenship, Berg stated, citing the senator's use of a birth certificate from the state of Hawaii verified as a forgery by three independent document forensic experts, the issue of "multi-citizenship with responsibilities owed to and allegiance to other countries" remains on the table.
In the lawsuit, Berg states that Sen. Obama was born in Kenya, and not in Hawaii as the senator maintains. Before giving birth, according to the lawsuit, Obama's mother traveled to Kenya with his father but was prevented from flying back to Hawaii because of the late stage of her pregnancy, "apparently a normal restriction to avoid births during a flight." As Sen. Obama's own paternal grandmother, half-brother and half-sister have also claimed, Berg maintains that Stanley Ann Dunham--Obama's mother--gave birth to little Barack in Kenya and subsequently flew to Hawaii to register the birth.
Berg cites inconsistent accounts of Sen. Obama's birth, including reports that he was born at two separate hospitals--Kapiolani Hospital and Queens Hospital--in Honolulu, as well a profound lack of birthing records for Stanley Ann Dunham, though simple "registry of birth" records for Barack Obama are available in a Hawaiian public records office.
Should Sen. Obama truly have been born in Kenya, Berg writes, the laws on the books at the time of his birth hold that U.S. citizenship may only pass to a child born overseas to a U.S. citizen parent and non-citizen parent if the former was at least 19 years of age. Sen. Obama's mother was only 18 at the time. Therefore, because U.S. citizenship could not legally be passed on to him, Obama could not be registered as a "natural born" citizen and would therefore be ineligible to seek the presidency pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution.
Moreover, even if Sen. Obama could have somehow been deemed "natural born," that citizenship was lost in or around 1967 when he and his mother took up residency in Indonesia, where Stanley Ann Dunham married Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian citizen. Berg also states that he possesses copies of Sen. Obama's registration to Fransiskus Assisi School In Jakarta, Indonesia which clearly show that he was registered under the name "Barry Soetoro" and his citizenship listed as Indonesian.
The Hawaiian birth certificate, Berg says, is a forgery. In the suit, the attorney states that the birth certificate on record is a forgery, has been identified as such by three independent document forensic experts, and actually belonged to Maya Kasandra Soetoro, Sen. Obama's half-sister.
"Voters donated money, goods and services to elect a nominee and were defrauded by Sen. Obama's lies and obfuscations," Berg stated. "If the DNC officers ... had performed one ounce of due diligence we would not find ourselves in this emergency predicament, one week away from making a person the nominee who has lost their citizenship as a child and failed to even perform the basic steps of regaining citizenship as prescribed by constitutional laws."
"It is unfair to the country," he continued, "for candidates of either party to become the nominee when there is any question of the ability to serve if elected."
=========================
Chicago Sun-Times—A close examination of Obama’s first campaign clouds the image he has cultivated throughout his political career: Obama, who runs on a message of giving a voice to the voiceless, first entered public office not by leveling the playing field, but by clearing it. Alice Palmer, friend and mentor to Obama, served the district in the Illinois Senate for much of the 1990s. Decades earlier, she was a community organizer in the area when Obama was growing up in Hawaii. She risked her safe seat to run for Congress and touted Obama as a suitable successor. But when Palmer lost the congressional race, her supporters asked Obama to fold his campaign so she could easily retain her state Senate seat. Obama not only refused to step aside for the woman who was his friend and had recommended him for the seat, he filed challenges that nullified Palmer’s hastily gathered nominating petitions, forcing her to withdraw.
Black Activist Alice Palmer Trusted Barack Obama
In 1995, Alice Palmer was a longtime Black activist, a “beloved elder stateswoman” in the Illinois state senate. She had a long record of community organizing and had earned a ’safe seat’ — ie, no one even tried to run against her. She was doing excellent work for the Black activist community, and holding that seat securely for them, so they could spend their resources elsewhere.
Barack Obama had never run for office. He was a 32-year-old wannabee hanging around the Chicago political machine, hoping for someone to give him a boost.
Palmer had a chance to run in a special election for a higher office. Obama was young, with an inspiring manner and an innocent grin. Palmer trusted him.
She introduced him to party elders and donors as her probable successor, and helped him gather signatures to get on the ballot. She didn’t get any agreement with him in writing. She trusted him.
Then Palmer’s higher race went poorly. To get on the ballot for her old seat, she also gathered signatures, all under the 1995 list of registered voters — hastily, collecting only the minimum number of signatures needed. When she and party elders asked Obama to withdraw, offering him help in getting an additional post elsewhere, Obama refused. So Palmer prepared to let the voters decide between them.
But instead of letting the voters decide, Obama got Palmer (as well as the rest of his opponents) knocked off the ballot for her own seat. As soon as a 1996 list of registered voters was completed which purged over 15,000 voters from the registered list, he challenged all his opponents' signatures against the purged list. Since some voters had moved or died, not enough matches could be found. (Obama’s own signatures were never put to the same test.)
So Obama charged Palmer with ‘fraud’, had her disgraced and knocked out of politics — rather than run a fair campaign against her.
Running as the only name on the ballot, Obama took Palmer’s safe seat. Soon he abandoned it for an unsuccessful higher office run himself. So instead of Palmer in her safe seat and Obama in another seat, their party had lost them both.
Palmer made some mistakes, but she is not running for President of the US on a claim of judgement and unity and courtesy, as Obama claims to be. Palmer’s mistakes came from innocent optimism — and trusting Barack Obama.
GOLDEN, Colo. - The city manager of Golden, Colo., has decided to withdraw his invitation to let the Al-Jazeera news network broadcast from a barbecue in his backyard on the final night of the Democratic National Convention.
City manager Mike Bestor has apologized for any divisiveness he caused in the city of about 18,000, about 15 miles west of Denver.
Bestor made his decision after a City Council meeting Thursday at which residents complained the event with the English-language service of the Middle East news network would be disrespectful to veterans and active U.S. soldiers.
Al-Jazeera is based in Qatar and is funded by the royal family of the Persian Gulf nation. The network says its English service reaches at least 100 million households worldwide. (Source)

Georgia did not believe Russia would respond to its offensive in South Ossetia and was completely unprepared for the counter-attack, the deputy defence minister has admitted.
Batu Kutelia told the Financial Times that Georgia had made the decision to seize the South Ossetian capital of Tskhinvali despite the fact that its forces did not have enough anti-tank and air defences to protect themselves against the possibility of serious resistance.
“Unfortunately, we attached a low priority to this,” he said, sitting at a desk with the flags of Georgia and Nato (to which Georgia does not belong) crossed behind him. “We did not prepare for this kind of eventuality.”
The Georgian military felt there was only a low probability of a massive Russian counter-attack, despite the bloody way in which Russia destroyed Chechnya, on the other side of the Caucasus mountains, in two wars during the 1990s and the fact that separatists in South Ossetia and Abkhazia had Russian backing.
Georgian forces were unprepared when the Russian counter-strike came, Mr Kutelia said. “I didn’t think it likely that a member of the UN Security Council and the OSCE would react like this,” Mr Kutelia said.
His amazement that Russia would use force against a smaller neighbour was echoed by David Darchiashvili, head of the parliamentary European integration committee. “No one expected Russia would mobilise and invade,” he said
Georgia’s 20,000-man army, built up at a cost of $2bn with the help of US trainers and cast-off Warsaw Pact equipment, was organised to deal with “brushfire” wars with separatist enclaves on its borders and to contribute to missions such as Iraq as a way of shoring up Georgia’s ties with the west, not to do battle with Russia.
Mr Kutelia still puts blame for the war squarely on the Russians and their South Ossetian allies, saying that in early August Ossetian fighters began to shell Georgian positions and villages.
He said Russia had begun to move heavy armour through the Roki tunnel from North Ossetia before President Mikheil Saakashvili unleashed his military against the South Ossetian capital of Tskhinvali on August 7, but offered no evidence to back this up.
Mr Kutelia said that the Georgians moved despite not having enough anti-tank and air defences, not expecting the Russians to react with overwhelming force.“At some point there was no choice,” he said.
Mr Kutelia said damage to Georgia’s military infrastructure was “significant”, and it would take an enormous amount of foreign help to rebuild Georgia’s defensive capabilities, something the Russians have promised to flatten again if they feel it poses a threat.
Russian troops have entered many of Georgia’s military bases, often under the eyes of a cowed Georgian army. They have confiscated US Humvee vehicles, blown up coastguard vessels and ransacked some of Georgia’s most modern military bases, destroying radar and other air defences, as well as reportedly capturing Georgian tanks, small arms and ammunition. So far Russia has made no move to return its booty.
The cost of Georgia’s lack of preparation could be seen earlier this week, when seven soldiers killed in earlier fighting were buried in a cemetery on a dusty hillside outside the capital.
About 20 troops in fatigues, and one in black track pants, watched from the shade of a pine tree as a bulldozer pushed sandy soil into the long trench holding the bodies.
Several of my blog friends have argued that Georgia's attack on South Ossetia was the equivalent of the US War of North Aggression (aka the US Civil War). Implicit in this view is the inaccurate belief that Abkhazia and South Ossetia are part of Georgia. This is not accurate. Both Abkhazia and South Ossetia left the former Soviet Union at the same time as Georgia and all three declared their independence. Georgia has no national claims on either on Abkhazia or South Ossetia.
Here's some evidence for this fact:
"...Developments on Caucasus are on edge. The Russian Upper Parliament is holding an extraordinary meeting on Monday to discus the recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia’s independence. The two seceded Republics declared their independence from Georgia unilaterally in the beginning of the 90s after the collapse of the former Soviet Union..." (emphasis mine, Source)
Russia is not seeking to take over these regions, they are preparing to officially recognize their independence.
Again:
Russian President Dmitri Medvedev said today, in no uncertain terms, that Georgia will lose South Ossetia. He also extended this forecast to the separatist enclave of Abkhazia, saying that it was "unlikely Ossetians and Abkhazians will ever be able to live together with Georgia in one state."
In fact, South Ossetia and Abkhazia have enjoyed de facto independence from Georgia for well over a decade, although international recognition has not followed. There are ethnic, religious and cultural differences between the two regions and Tbilisi that make unification impossible, even if the international community recognizes them as one country. Put bluntly, South Ossetians and Abkhazians hate Georgians and vice versa. (emphasis mine, Source)
And again:
South Ossetia is a region in the South Caucasus, formerly the South Ossetian Autonomous Oblast within the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic. A part of it has been de facto independent from Georgia since it declared independence[1] as the Republic of South Ossetia early in the 1990s during the Georgian-Ossetian conflict. The capital of the region is Tskhinvali.
The independence has not been diplomatically recognized by any member of the United Nations – which continues to regard South Ossetia as part of Georgia [Source]
In other words, when Georgia declared its independence in 1991 South Ossetia and Abkhazia did the same. Abkhazia and South Ossetia made it clear that they did not consider themselves part of Georgia or the Russian Republic. The existed as default autonomous regions until the US back government of Mikheil Saakashvili following Eduard Shevardnadze.
receiving a fellowship from the United States State Department (via the Edmund S. Muskie/FREEDOM Support Act (FSA) Graduate Fellowship Program).
He received an LLM from Columbia Law School in 1994 and took classes at The George Washington University Law School the following year. In 1995, he also received a diploma from the International Institute of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France. After graduation, while on internship in the New York law firm of Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler in early 1995, Saakashvili was approached by Zurab Zhvania, an old friend from Georgia who was working on behalf of President Eduard Shevardnadze to recruit talented young Georgians to enter politics.
In January 2000, Saakashvili was appointed Vice-President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.
Saakashvili founded the United National Movement (UNM) in October 2001, a left-of-center political party akin to the Social Democrats in Europe with a touch of nationalism, to provide a focus for part of the Georgian reformists leaders. In June 2002, he was elected as the Chairman of the Tbilisi Assembly ("Sakrebulo") following an agreement between the United National Movement and the Georgian Labour Party. This gave him a powerful new platform from which to criticize the government.
Georgia held parliamentary elections on November 2, 2003 which were denounced by local and international observers as being grossly rigged. Saakashvilli claimed that he had won the elections (a claim supported by independent exit polls), and urged Georgians to demonstrate against Shevardnadze's government and engage in nonviolent civil disobedience against the authorities. Saakashvili's UNM and Burdjanadze-Democrats united to demand the ouster of Shevardnadze and the rerun of the elections.
On January 4, 2004 Mikheil Saakashvili won the presidential elections in Georgia with more than 96% of the votes cast, making him the youngest national president in Europe. Saakashvili ran on a platform of opposing corruption and improving pay and pensions. He has promised to improve relations with the outside world. Although he is strongly pro-Western and intends to seek Georgian membership of NATO and the European Union, he has also spoken of the importance of better relations with Russia. He faces major problems, however, particularly Georgia's difficult economic situation and the still unresolved question of separatism in the regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Abkhazia regards itself as independent of Georgia and did not take part in the elections, while South Ossetia favours union with its northern counterpart in Russia. [Source]
Saakashvili Chewing Over the Implications of His Attack on Russia!
Admittedly the history of this region is long and confusing however what is abundantly clear is that the people of South Ossetia and Abkhazia have never considered themselves to be part of Georgia.
When the US South formed the Confederacy they formally announced their intention to leave the Union for various reasons (of which slavery was but one). South Ossetia and Abkhazia however were NEVER part of the Republic of Georgia as even the BBC acknowledges below.
If there is a slight parallel to US history it is seen when the US broke away from English rule and tried to force Canada to join their union. Canada refused and kicked the US out of their region. South Ossetia and Abkhazia has been trying to kick Georgia out ever since declaring their independence from Russia and since the fall of the Soviet Union they have asserted their political and cultural independence from Georgia as even the official BBC time line makes clear. That time line shows, in part, the following events:
1991 - Georgian parliament declares secession from the Soviet Union after independence is overwhelmingly supported in a referendum.
Clashes in Tbilisi preceded the coup that ousted Gamsakhurdia
Gamsakhurdia is elected president by more than 85% of the votes cast.
1992 January - Gamsakhurdia is deposed after fighting in central Tbilisi between government troops and opposition militias.
South Ossetians vote in favour of independence in an unrecognized referendum.
[Right from the beginning South Ossetia demanded and asserted their independence from Georgia!! Unfortunately the NWO United Nations had other plans and refused to recognize their independence]
1992 August - Fighting breaks out in Abkhazia between Georgian government troops and separatist forces.
[Again Abkhazia assert their independence from Georgia as well right form the beginning of the Georgian Republic]
1993 September - Georgian troops driven out of Abkhazia by separatist forces.
2001 March - Georgia and the separatist region of Abkhazia sign an accord pledging not to use force against each other.
[Both governments thereby acknowledge they are not one country. Abkhazia is recognized as an autonomous region. None of this mess would have occurred had the UN merely recognized the claims of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.]
2001 October - Clashes in Abkhazia between Abkhaz troops and Georgian paramilitaries backed by fighters from the North Caucasus. The tension is heightened as Russia accuses Georgia of harbouring Chechen rebels, a charge dismissed by Georgia.
2002 April/May - US special forces arrive to train and equip Georgian forces for counterterrorist operations.
[The US begins seriously usurping control of Georgia and domination of the region.]
2003 May - Work begins on laying Georgian section of oil pipeline to run from Baku in Azerbaijan through Georgia to Ceyhan in Turkey.
[A main reason for the US presence in the region]
2003 November - Shevardnadze is toppled in a bloodless "Rose Revolution" triggered by opposition allegations of irregularities in parliamentary elections.
2004 January - Mikhail Saakashvili wins presidential election.
[Georgia become a puppet nation of the US/NWO.]
2004 March - Amid rising tension with the leadership of the autonomous region of Ajaria, Tbilisi briefly imposes sanctions and closes the border.
[The Autonomous Republic of Adjara or Acara is yet another of these regions whose independence was denied but that was unofficially rcognized. Again the failure to formally establish the indepence of these areas is what led to the current confusion].
2004 May - Ajarian leader Aslan Abashidze claims Georgian forces about to invade and blows up bridges connecting the region with the rest of Georgia.
President Saakashvili orders Mr Abashidze to comply with Georgian constitution and disarm his forces or face removal.
Aslan Abashidze resigns and leaves Georgia.
[Now under US guidance Georgia flexes its muscles and seeks to establish control over the autonomous regions against their will. These regions were states or terrorities of Georgia but autonomous self ruling regions.]
2004 May - South Ossetia holds parliamentary elections, unrecognised by Tbilisi.
[South Ossetia still considered itself independent and even though the UN never officially recognized this, their defacto autonomy, complete with elections, had been unofficially recognized since the fall of the Soviet Union. South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Adjara were not part of Georgia and Georgia's actions against them make this obvious.]
2004 June - Georgia's decision to beef up its anti-smuggling operation in South Ossetia prompts sharp a response from the local leadership and is criticized by Russia.
[US/Georgia justify their anti-freedom imperial actions with a fake drug and smuggling war. The US used a similar so-called war on drugs to justify civil rights violations in the US as well. Both South Ossetia and Russia decried the assault on South Ossetia and its freedom]
2004 August - Several deaths are reported in clashes between Georgian and South Ossetian forces. After saying it has captured key positions which it promises to hand over to joint peacekeepers, Georgia pulls back its forces.
[South Ossetia resists Georgian incursions and interferences into their autonomous region. Georgia yeilded, again demonstrating South Ossetian independence.]
2004 August - Several deaths are reported in clashes between Georgian and South Ossetian forces. After saying it has captured key positions which it promises to hand over to joint peacekeepers, Georgia pulls back its forces.
[Abkhazia demands that they are still independent and hold elections as a free people.]
2004 Georgian President Saakashvili unveils proposals on autonomy within Georgia for South Ossetia whose leadership rejects them, repeating demand for full independence. Georgian leader says similar proposals can only be considered for Abkhazia if Georgian refugees who fled fighting in 1993 are allowed to return.
[Yet again, the US puppet nation of Georgia seeks to incorporate South Ossetia, promising them semi-independence. They wisely rejected this on the grounds that they were already an independent country, recognized or not. These proposals would have created a realationship similiar to the tribal lands in the US. While we speak of "Indian Nations" these reservations remain firmly under US control. South Ossetians would accept nothing less than complete recognized independence as they had demanded from the very beginning.]
2005 February - Three police officers killed by car bomb in Gori, west of Tbilisi and close to South Ossetia.
Georgian Prime Minister Zurab Zhvania is found dead in a Tbilisi flat, apparently from gas poisoning. Zurab Noghaideli, hitherto finance minister, becomes premier.
2005 May - Large crowds in Tbilisi greet President George W Bush, the first US leader to visit Georgia, who proclaims the country a "beacon of liberty".
Georgian policeman and four Ossetians killed in shooting incident in South Ossetia
2006 November - South Ossetians vote in favour of independence in an unrecognised referendum.
2007 September - Former defence minister Irakli Okruashvili accuses Mr Saakashvili of corruption and plotting a murder. The allegations spark a wave of protests.
2007 November - State of emergency declared. Riot police battle protesters demanding president's resignation.
Russia says it has withdrawn last troops based in Georgia since 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union, but retains a presence in the breakaway provinces.
[Russian maintains ties to the autonomous areas in accordance with local wishes as South Ossetia and Abkhazia continue to work for the recognition of their independence.
2007 December - Human Rights Watch criticises the Georgian government for using "excessive" force against protesters in November. International Crisis Group warns of growing authoritarianism.
2008 January - Saakashvili re-elected in snap election.
2008 March - Separatist government in Abkhazia asks United Nations to recognise independence.
[Again the Abkhazians want to be recognized as an inpendent nation and their request is refused by the NWO UN.]
2008 April - NATO summit in Bucharest defers decision on Georgia's application to join Membership Programme until December.
2008 April - Russia says it will step up ties with Abkhazia and South Ossetia, prompting Georgia to accuse Moscow of planning the republics' "de facto annexation".
[See the direct correlation here? The NATO threat against Russia and the ongoing refusal of the UN to accept the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia is the key to this situation. Add to this Poland's decision to allow the US to threaten Russia with nukes from Polish territory and the situation becomes utterly explosive.
NATO is trying to enslave South Ossetia and Abkhazia against their wills by making them submit to Georgia, and the US is deeply involved in this refusal to recognize the independence of the regions for their own nefarious purposes.]
2008 May - Ruling party wins landslide victory in parliamentary election. Opposition says election was rigged and threatens to boycott new parliament.
[Just like the US rigged presidential election but here the Congress are also traitors so they embraced the establishment of the Bush coup instead of opposing it.]
Russia sends 300 unarmed troops to Abkhazia, saying they are needed for railway repairs. Georgia accuses Russia of planning military intervention. Russia AND the people of South Ossetia say the Russian presence is for humantraian reasons including the protection of civilians who are being routinely murdered by the US/Georgian government of Saakashvili
2008 June - Abkhazia cuts all contact with Georgian government, accusing it of being behind recent series of blasts in "breakaway republic." Georgia denies having any role of course.
[Georgia is the aggressor, not Russia according to both the Abkhazians and the South Ossetians.
Tekhova, whose 18-year-old son stayed in Tskhinvali, is one of at least 100,000 people the United Nations says have been displaced since Aug. 7, when residents said Georgian forces started shelling the city. Russia deployed tanks, troops and warplanes to oust Georgia's military the next day.
Georgia says South Ossetia and Abkhazia, another disputed area, are now ``occupied territories.'' Both places, where most people are Russian citizens, declared independence and fought Georgian forces as the Soviet Union unraveled in the early 1990s. North Ossetia has absorbed most of the refugees.
In downtown Tskhinvali yesterday, many buildings were blackened and charred. Cars drove by with shattered windows. Local news reports put the civilian death toll at 1,600....
As I show elsewhere on this site, GEORGIA invaded South Ossetia and initially murdered around 1800 unarmed civilians and leveled Tskhinvali. At an attempt to both defend the civilian population and void war Russian troops entered.
This was obviously a false flag event by a corrupt globalist puppet leader with NWO aspirations. The only question is what the Elite hope to accomplish by it and they plan to do next.
The United States is aiding Georgia in imprisoning the people of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, provoking Russia into a global nuclear war and the US Media is focusing on a story about a faked Big Foot!
Condoleezza Rice threatens Russia and reveals the depth of the New World Order intentions.
To Russia she said:
"When you threaten Poland, you perhaps forget that it is not 1988," Rice said. "It's 2008 and the United States has a ... firm treaty guarantee to defend Poland's territory as if it was the territory of the United States. So it's probably not wise to throw these threats around."
What's the difference between 1988 and 2008? In 1988 even though it was clear that the Elite were establishing a global dictatorship (Novus Ordo Seclorum) by that point, in 1988 it had much less ability to overtly act. In 1988 Reagan was leaving office and ex-CIA chief George HW Bush was preparing to take the reigns and begin the Bush-Clinton Dynasty. Look at what they accomplished since 1988! We as a nation went from relative freedom to relative fascism and dictatorship. What would have been impossible then is easy for them now thanks to the 9-11 Inside Job!
Bush: "It would be much easier if this was a dictatorship As long as I'm the dictator"
Bush: "I'm the Decider and I decide what is best"
Note the pomposity of Condi and her dark masters in her comments to Russia as she dismissed the national security concerns of Russia as "blustery comments." Those comments included the following:
After Warsaw and Washington announced the agreement on the deal last week, top Russian Gen. Anatoly Nogovitsyn warned that Poland is risking attack, and possibly a nuclear one, by deploying the American missile defense system...
The decider/dictator has apparently decided that risking nuclear war is the thing to do!
Anyone who knows history, and Rice does, knows that Russia does not make empty threats. Nuclear war may well result from this disasterous war started by the US/NWO using its tool Georgia to sneak attack South Ossetia and Russia.
So why would they do it? There is one very good if chilling possible reason:
Another big difference between 1988 and 2008 is that the Elite are now more open about their support for eugentics. The Elite now publicly acknowledge that their intention is to reduce the human population by at least 80%. Ted Turner, Bill Gates, and many others promote an even higher figure, a 90% reduction. Watch the following video, then read the following artical and ask yourself, why did the United States sneak attack Russia two weeks ago? Who would be benefited by a global or regional nuclear war?
And CNN and the rest of the controlled media are obsessing over a purchased monkey suit! Amazing! When thawed it was not a real Big Foot! Now that's news!
9-11 was a preview!
Now for the news story from the propaganda press. If they are feeding the Sheeple this much, imagine what they are leaving unsaid!
Rice signs missile defense deal with Poland
By VANESSA GERA and MONIKA SCISLOWSKA, Associated Press Writers 2 hours, 1 minute ago [Source]
WARSAW, Poland - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her Polish counterpart signed a deal Wednesday to build a U.S. missile defense base in Poland, an agreement that prompted an infuriated Russia to warn of a possible attack against the former Soviet satellite.
Rice dismissed blustery comments from Russian leaders who say Warsaw's hosting of 10 U.S. interceptor missiles just 115 miles from Russia's westernmost frontier opens the country up to attack.
Such comments "border on the bizarre frankly," Rice said, speaking to reporters traveling with her in Warsaw.
"When you threaten Poland, you perhaps forget that it is not 1988," Rice said. "It's 2008 and the United States has a ... firm treaty guarantee to defend Poland's territory as if it was the territory of the United States. So it's probably not wise to throw these threats around."
The deal has strained relations between Moscow and the West, ties already troubled by Russia's invasion of its former Soviet neighbor, U.S. ally Georgia, earlier this month.
Speaking to reporters traveling with her, Rice said, "the Russians are losing their credibility."
Rice and Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski signed the deal Wednesday morning.
"It is an agreement which will help us to respond to the threats of the 21st century," she said afterward.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said the agreement came after tough but friendly negotiations.
"We have achieved our main goals, which means that our country and the United States will be more secure," he said.
After Warsaw and Washington announced the agreement on the deal last week, top Russian Gen. Anatoly Nogovitsyn warned that Poland is risking attack, and possibly a nuclear one, by deploying the American missile defense system, Russia's Interfax news agency reported.
Poles have been shaken by the threats, but NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop dismissed them Tuesday as "pathetic rhetoric."
"It is unhelpful and it leads nowhere," he told reporters at a NATO meeting in Brussels, Belgium.
Many Poles consider the agreement a form of protection at a time when Russia's invasion of Georgia has generated alarm throughout Eastern Europe. Poland is a member of the European Union and NATO, and the deal is expected to deepen its military partnership with Washington.
Polish President Lech Kaczynski also expressed "great satisfaction" at the outcome of the long months of negotiations.
Poland and the United States spent a year and a half negotiating, and talks recently had snagged on Poland's demands that the U.S. bolster Polish security with Patriot missiles in exchange for hosting the missile defense base.
Washington agreed to do so last week, as Poland invoked the Georgia conflict to strengthen its case.
The Patriots are meant to protect Poland from short-range missiles from neighbors — such as Russia.
The U.S. already has reached an agreement with the government in Prague to place the second component of the missile defense shield — a radar tracking system — in the Czech Republic, Poland's southwestern neighbor and another formerly communist country.
Approval is still needed the Czech and Polish parliaments.
No date has been set for the Polish parliament to consider the agreement, but it should face no difficulties in Warsaw, where it enjoys the support of the largest opposition party as well as the government.
Deputy Chief of the Russian General Staff Anatoly Nogovitsyn warns that Georgia may be planning to commit false flag terror attacks by using mercenaries dressed in Russian uniforms, as Russia moved to guard sensitive infrastructure against terrorist attacks.
In a news briefing on Monday, he said: “I cannot rule out that they might use mercenaries with Slavic appearance for a provocation, clad in the uniform of Russian servicemen, in order to commit subversive acts both on Ossetian and Russian territory.”
In response to the threat, Russia has stationed troops around the Inguri Hydroelectric Plant, viewed as a potential target.
Nogovitsyn’s warning that Georgia may resort to subversion in order to enhance its well-groomed image of being the victim of a war that it started with the horrific bombardment of civilian targets in South Ossetia on August 8th, arrives amidst more examples of pro-Georgian western media bias.
Following in the footsteps of the BBC, Rupert Murdoch’s Sky News used footage of the South Ossetian capital, Tskhinvali in ruins after the Georgian assault and claimed it was the Georgian town of Gori after it was attacked by the Russians.
“Russia ’s TV channel Zvezda, which has five camera crews working in Tskhinvali, aired the same footage two days before, on Monday,” reports Pravda. “Sky News showed its report with no sound, whereas the people showed in the Russian report could be heard speaking Russian and Ossetian languages. The crying people shown in the report were heard cursing Georgian President Saakashvili for destructions and manslaughter.”
After the controversy came to light yesterday, the Sky News clip was quickly pulled from You Tube.
In addition, CNN last week showed Georgian forces attacking Russian civilians in Tskhinvali, the provincial capital of South Ossetia, but then claimed it showed Russians attacking Georgians in the Georgian town of Gori.

Western media coverage of the conflict has reflected a virulently pro-Georgia bias since the very start, once again proving that the press is not independent, but simply a mouthpiece for the same Anglo-American power structure for whom Georgia is merely another client state.
I finally received a response from Mr. Baldwin's campaign regarding his position on Israel.
Like so many Americans I am disgusted by our corrupt one party RepubliCrat System. Third Party candidates like Chuck Baldwin, Bob Barr and the others have not got a chance of winning because the controlled media systematically blocks them out of the process. For instance the Barr campaign fought to be included in the recent Religion Forum as my friend Jenny reports on her blog. No the system is completely rigged and alternatives to one party Bilderberg Group rule will not happen UNLESS the grass roots become more involved in the process...
But are there acceptable Third Party Candidates?
That's the problem.
I've been trying to find someone to get behind... its not easy! What all the Third Party candidates seem to have in common is the desire to abandon Israel!
Of course its not just the Third Parties! Herr Bush declared his intention to oversee the division of Jerusalem before/IF he leaves the throne.
When I began hearing about Chuck Baldwin and his promise to fight the globalists, the Bilderberg group, etc. I was hopeful... However as I explained elsewhere (Chuck Baldwin Is Anti-Israel), Mr. Baldwin and the Constitution Party, like Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinitch, the Green Party, Bob Barr, the Libertarian Party and others all support abandoning Israel to its enemies.
Is it any wonder that God is removing His blessings from the United States when even "people of faith" like Chuck Baldwin and Ron Paul want to turn against Israel?
"And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed" (Gen 12:3)
In the following video, referenced by the Baldwin Campaign e-mail I received, Baptist minister Chuck Baldwin confirms his plan to turn the US against the Elect of God to the nation's peril. In his own words:
As I replied at YouTube:
This video just lost Mr. Baldwin my vote.
In order to support Israel the US should cut off all aid? No, that's just more double talk! Here he points out that we give more aid to her enemies than to Israel, which is very true, so the obvious answer is to stop supporting terrorists and increase US aid to Israel. To remove unwise US demands from Israel and work with Israel as partners not as overlords. The American people will never support this anti-Israel position.
At least I wont!
The Ummah is Serious!
First they came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.
--- Words of wisdom from Rev. Martin J. Niemoller in 1945
A RUSSIAN general has threatened a nuclear strike on Poland in the escalating "cold war" over US missile shield deployment in Eastern Europe.
Britain's Daily Telegraph reports that within a day of Poland signing a landmark deal with the US to host its global anti-missile shields in the country, Russia's deputy chief of staff warned Poland "is exposing itself to a strike 100 per cent".
General Anatoly Nogovitsyn told Russia's Interfax news agency: "By hosting these, Poland is making itself a target. This is 100 per cent certain. It becomes a target for attack. Such targets are destroyed as a first priority."
RUSSIA threatened to NUKE Poland yesterday as the world faced the prospect of a terrifying new Cold War.
The chilling threat was issued by a top general of Vladimir Putin amid mounting tensions over the war in Georgia.
Gen Anatoly Nogovitsy lashed out after Poland agreed to help the US create a “missile shield” over Europe. He said: “Poland is making itself a target. Such targets are destroyed as a first priority.”
Nuclear threat ... General Anatoly Nogovitsy
Gen Nogovitsy stressed Moscow was ready to use nuclear weapons “against allies of countries having nuclear weapons if they in some way help them”. Russia is furious Poland has said the US can put an interceptor base and a battery of Patriot missiles on its territory.
President Dmitry Medvedev, ruling under the direction of predecessor Mr Putin, said the missile defences were aimed at Russia.
He branded US claims that they are a deterrent against rogue states “a fairy tale”.
