New controversial foreign agent law in Georgia republic.

 DEMONSTRATIONS AS GEORGIA PASSES FOREIGN AGENT LAW

PRESIDENT PROMISES VETO, PARLIAMENT HAS VOTES TO OVERRIDE

A Law that requires that any Non-government organization that receives over 20% of its funding from foreign sources is required to register as a foreign agent has passed in the parliament. There are major demonstrations opposed to this law. A similar law was withdrawn last year after similar demonstrations.

The law is also opposed by the EU and other western nations. The law does not outlaw such organizations, but requires transparency as to the source of its funding. Many of the protesters are young citizens who have jobs related to these organizations, which often pay more than can be earned in domestic jobs.

It seems that Georgia is a target of many of these organizations that hope to move the politics of the country in a direction favorable to them. Much of the funding comes from the United States who has been using these organizations to organize opposition to governments around the world.

The reality is that the United States itself is often prosecuting people in this country for being an unregistered lobbyist of a foreign country. Often this has been the approach to organizing color revolution in many unaware foreign countries. It is no longer as easy as it once was to operate under the radar, as this practice has been revealed for an attempt to change governments in many parts of the world. The most notable has been Ukraine with Georgia also a target for regime change and an alliance with the EU and NATO, a move that would likely end in another disaster for their country.

I suspect that every western nation would be outraged if Non government organizations would be funded by China,  Russia or some other entity and would likely suffer a far more severe action than transparency.

Nations should focus on their own problems at home rather spending borrowed money to enact resolution and regime change in foreign countries that often results in death and the destruction of these countries.
