They are liars. All of them. (challenges MSM's version of events in Georgia)

I hope everyone has heard about the war in South Ossetia and Georgia. You probably are convinced by what the media reports, in particular that “Russia is the aggressor against innocent Georgia”. Our government is backing Georgia and also telling us about Russia’s aggression. But that is a lie. I have always made fun of the conspiracy theory people, but I find myself in the same position–criticizing the government and sounding crazy. But I cannot keep quite when such an injustice is going on; so please do not take my words as that of a crazy man who hates America–on the contrary, this country has given me many blessings for which I am endlessly thankful; I care about it and am deeply saddened by how effectively the media has fed us propaganda over the last week. Please read the following short account of my story:

I grew up in Abkhazia, a country only hours away from South Ossetia (see map below). I lived through the 1992 war between Georgia, Abkhazia, and South Ossetia. I have been bombed and shot at by the Georgians. Right now we are in contact with our family in Abkhazia and we receive information first hand with no media bias. I know what I am talking about.

Georgia attacked South Ossetia, destroying its capital Tskhinvali, killing innocent people; Russia came in to protect the Ossetians. If Russia did not step in, Georgians would further the attack and take over Abkhazia; my family would be slaughtered by now. Yet, I am absolutely shocked, absolutely astonished how the media lies to us, telling us “Russia was the aggressor”. I have never, NEVER thought this can be possible in the US–I always believed that the US government has good intentions. Not anymore. All I heard on the news is that “Georgia is an ally that Russia attacked” and similar such lies. George Bush is supporting Saakashvili, the man who lies left and right, and attacks innocent civilians. I cannot believe my ears.

I am not protecting the Russian government, because I do understand that it is likely corrupt also. Of course they are not innocent. However, that does not mean that WE Americans can support injustice just because it is going against the rival power Russia. The bottom line is that Georgia attacked first; they attacked civilians. Russians fought on behalf of the Ossetians. Yet, the media has zero coverage on the devastation of the South Ossetian people. This is just ridiculous.

Why am I writing this? I do not know what else I can do. I must speak the truth. I am paying taxes to the US government, which supports Georgia, which in turn bombs my homeland; in other words, I am funding the destruction of my own people. How can I keep quiet?

I know you don’t go to a photographer’s blog to read about politics, so I will stop now. Please do watch the videos below. Please be informed. Please feel free to ask me any questions (photodu@gmail.com). Please speak the truth.

And if New Mexico decides to become part of old Mexico, your solution is what?

[MarMema]

Independent observers have so far supported the Georgian version and made the Russians look like liars.

Change the subject to Kosovo.

This dude Saakashvili had first taken russians hostage during some conflict where they had first laid down their arms in front of the Georgians and then paraded them on State TV.

They were Russian spies and were returned safely to Russia.

About me

body piercing has saved my life     i try 
to hide the marks to help them

of course i must and if i'm wrong then i
must be     i see and they dont see and
then again they see im blind     we
think we know yet we do not    the
truth itself will show the truth it shows
today     captives are we and it is key

Okay, the Georgians are the bad guys, and this is exactly identical with Kosovo, since the Georgians were herding people into the streets and murdering them right. So then the Russians are like the U.S. and NATO and have only intruded into the conflict area and stopped the fighting there right? Uh, but wait a minute. Seems they're continuing on into Georgia and proceeding to destroy all of the military hardware, personnel, and infrastructure that they feel like. And NATO did that in Serbia right? I'm sure the Georgians aren't saints, but I think Saakashvili is more unwise than evil.

[MarMema]

Russia came in to protect the Ossetians.

So what are they doing in Poti?

[Dead Dog]

How about a brief history of the area? Who are the South Ossetians? Why did Georgia shell them? What are each groups interests that are in conflict?

We appreciate your perspective on this.

[Fichori]

“All is not as it seems.”

You mean like the part about the Russian backed [and armed] terrorists in South Ossetia shelling Georgian cities?

Russia was well prepared in advance of this and they were baiting Georgia.


I smell communist troll.

[Fichori]

I dunno about this one.

You might have to call in another air strike...

;)

Yeah. Strange poem.
Gotta admit, I liked his Texas Project.
Did you check it out?

[sauropod]

Hadn’t heard that. Do you have a credible news story available that I can read about this?

[Revolting cat!]

I like his photography, yes, I haven’t checked out his Texas Project.

[ZX12R]

Where do they come from, these interlopers? Body piercing has saved my life? Weird.

I don't have one.
I thought I did, but then came across this fellow's blog.
That part of the world is one helluva mess.
We can joke about sitting back and munching popcorn, and I have made plenty of those wisecracks.
But then, there are real people bleeding.

[autumnraine]

That’s what I was thinking. They are not in South Ossetia, so how does his family know anything except what is being reported on in Russian TV?

And it turns out he neglected to mention he's Russian. And you can't be bothered to address that signficant detail that he omitted.

Actually, you can buy that mass-produced bumper sticker in most "Christian" bookstores.

You know, this guy reminds of another more famous communist that has chosen to live in the U.S. The other day my local paper put Gorbachev’s latest apologetic for this war on the editorial page. Why is it that these communists that so love their country can't bring themselves to live among the ashes of their beloved motherland, and stay the h_ll out of our country. It was your bed Gorbi, go sleep in it.
