Not our business

None of the US or EU-funded organizations targeted by the Georgian Dream are associated with lawbreaking. All individuals and organizations targeted by the US Justice Department in FARA prosecutions are associated with serious criminal offenses.

Lol… when our CIA “non governed groups” do it it’s benevolent and selfless and only for the good. Lol 😂 I love good comedy writing.

“ In short, the Georgian Dream has put the United States and the EU in the same category as the United States put Nazi Germany in 1938.”

Extremely unfair. We are not nearly as well dressed.

Btw one question. The law only requires that all our funding be in the daylight. Now why would we object to that? If our motives are so decent, e should be proud of who and what we fund there.

The writer;
“ Ted Jonas, a dual US-Georgian citizen, has lived in Georgia for nearly 30 years. An international lawyer and environmental activist, he was part of the original team that opened the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs office in Tbilisi in 1994”

So CIA connected…. Funded by US money?

There is reason that the NGOs are called the “Humanitarian Mafia”.

Any comment on this, Zhang Fei?

...targeted Georgian non-profit organizations which work lawfully and receive financial contributions from the US and member states of the European Union to carry out health, welfare, civil rights, educational, and other such activities in Georgia to benefit its population....”

These Georgian NGO’s are promoting climate activism, homosexual lifestyles of all types and the general American leftist agenda - as usual. The American FARA law provides for imprisonment, the Georgian law just fines. The Georgian NGO’s are financed by the US and EU - ‘nuff said!!

The US Justice Department has brought prosecutions under FARA only against individuals and organizations associated with money laundering, fraud, sanctions evasion, illegal campaign contributions, bribery, terrorism, and hostile foreign powers.

Like Maria Butina whose sin was trying to get a version of the Second Amendment into Russia. What a dangerous foreign agent./sarc

We are doing the exact same thing in Georgia as we did in Ukraine. May God help them.
