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.

Who does the territory of South Ossetia belong to?

Regardless of the population, who does the land itself belong to? How can you commit “aggression” against yourself?

What they should have done is expel all Russians from that territory. Then they can’t claim that Georgia attacked the “Russian people”.

[XR7]

And it turns out he neglected to mention he's Russian.

Funny.
You seem to have discovered that in short order.
And so what?

"It looks like Putin is a lot smarter than anyone we have in power."

That's the truth.
And it's troubling.

[Lilith Incubus]

What about the 100% Human population of South Ossetia that over time would have done better as citizens of a free Georgia rather than as serfs under a rejuvenated Russian Czardom?

I think it's important that South Ossetians decide what leadership and culture they want to live under, and as they're essentially broken away from Georgia, one must assume that they don't want to be part of Georgia.
It's not for the west to decide if they will be better off long term with Russia or not.

Living in the EU is far from free by the way, our culture has been massacred by the EU, our populous is indebted to foreign banks, our entire reliance on future energy supplies is dictated by the very Czardom you speak of.

[autumnraine]

Because the Russians told him so.

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

I never go to Christian book stores. Perhaps I can find one at a freak bookstore.

[XR7]

ping.

[autumnraine]

And here we have it. He is a Russian citizen.

[dirtboy]

You seem to have discovered that in short order.

Amazing thing, Google. I searched his name and this was the fourth or fifth item. I guess it would have been too much trouble for you to do the same.

And so what?

If I have to explain why to you, you're beyond the help of logic and reason, because you have deliberately chosen to disregard them.

Perhaps.
Which ones do you frequent?

[MarMema]

Russia has poisoned many.

[ZX12R]

Perhaps. Which ones do you frequent?

If you're retarded, you need to let me know so I won't continue to bash you. I already said that I don't frequent Christain bookstores. Are you a retarded Orc? Or just a dumb Orc? If you're a retarded Orc, I'll cut you some slack.

I think he is very smart, but I'm not sure if reading comments on FR that the US media correctly exude how much of a powerful position Russia is in. This issue is of extreme importance here in Europe.

Russia has immense wealth, has allies of countries with immense wealth, and those factors together in this current energy climate, means they hold ALL the ace cards.

There's lots of subterfuge here, Sarkozy is scared, the EU is scared about this.

[XR7]

I'll cut you some slack.

Thanks.

[autumnraine]

The only people disputing it are the Russians.

[Sundog]

Thank you for your insight. I appreciate the background information.

[autumnraine]

So what? You ommitted that he was a Russian? And you want to post “All is not what it seems”?

[autumnraine]

We are scared over here, but Europe should be very scared. He has them in a chokehold with the oil supply, especially come this winter.

Not to mention the fear of invasion itself.

This is a pivotal moment for Europe and what they do now will set the course of history regarding the current Russian ambitions.
