Mamuka Mamulashvili: Playing for Sympathy & Time – The Dark Games of the Georgian Legion* and its Sponsors

It seems like Mamuka Mamulashvili, the so-called head of the Georgian Legion*, is claiming that someone has tried to poison him, again, with sad pictures of him recovering from his hospital bed. Here we go again, the Georgian Legion* mercenary leader in Ukraine has allegedly been poisoned three times, according to him.

Trustworthy Source & VOA Echo Chamber

The mercenary group, operating under the State Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine, confirmed, via their official social media account, that Mamulashvili was found to have elevated levels of arsenic, mercury, and tin in his system.

Something fishy is going on, and things are not adding up. I suspect that we all will have to take a trip down the proverbial rabbit hole. According to a post on X (formerly Twitter), Mamulashvili’s life is not in danger following the incident.

Considering the source, which is known for even more disinformation than are CNN and the other birds of disinformation which are known for spreading lies and disinformation, is VOA. It reports how the commander of the Georgian Legion* that is fighting alongside Ukraine against Russian troops told RFE/RL on June 12 that he was poisoned several months ago.

Mamuka Mamulashvili said that blood and tissue samples were sent to a lab in Germany, and have we not heard that story about German labs before too? Supposedly, he started feeling acute pains in his stomach. It was discovered that they contained high levels of arsenic, mercury, and tin, which he likely ingested in the food he was served.

Mamulashvili said it was the third time someone tried to poison him, and that Russian news outlets have reported his death several times. Mamulashvili and other members of the Georgian Legion* are wanted in Russia on charges of illegally recruiting mercenaries and participating in the war in Ukraine, not to mention extensively documented (by themselves, no less!) war crimes against Russian prisoners of war.

One thing is certain, too many Georgian volunteers are dying in Ukraine, and how they found their way to the front was not based on their sole hatred of Russia.  It is all about the training, and not hard to understand, based on previous articles, as well as from first-hand contact with those involved in the legion, and those exposing the involvement, that something is being planned for Georgia, in particular a coup against the elected government.

Usual Suspects

Many in the previous government are involved, according to the current government of Georgia, for instance, Giorgi Lortkipanidze, the former deputy of the ex-Minister of Internal Affairs of Georgia, Vano Merabishvili, and the current deputy head of military intelligence of Ukraine, and ethnic Georgians under him, including the former member of the third president’s guard, Mikheil Baturin, and also a member of Saakashvili’s close entourage, and as always, Mamuka Mamulashvili, commander of the Georgian Legion* operating in Ukraine, who was head of Presidential security under Saakashvili.

It should be emphasized that the implementation of said plan is only possible with the coordination and financial support of foreign countries.

One thing is certain, for maximum deniability, the true funders and organizers are not in the forefront, and the media hype around the deaths is usually the same. The bodies of two of the latest Georgian volunteers, killed in combat action in Ukraine, have been transferred to Georgia earlier today.

Family members and dozens of citizens gathered at the Tbilisi International Airport early in the morning to pay respect to the Georgian nationals who joined forces fighting against the Russian troops in Ukraine.  Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili was also present to express her condolences to the families of the deceased volunteers.

One has to look at who was working for where, a few years back, then where they are now, and then start asking questions and connect the proverbial dots. So basically Georgians are being sold to fight in Ukraine, so others don’t have to; however, there are not enough of them, as most Georgians understand exactly what is going on.

You do not need not much concrete evidence to raise suspicion, only links, timing and opportunity. For instance, the new Ambassador of Georgia to Poland, Diana Jgenti.  What was her job, her connections with the anti-Georgian government, president, Salome Zurabishvili, and where is she now?

Crooked Web

Do you know that Poland is one of the likely sponsors, and has a recruitment program within several Georgian universities, under the guise of academic support, for people to fight in Ukraine? It is worth-mentioning that Nona Mamulashvili, the sister of Mamuka, was working directly for Salome Zurabishvili when she was the main person in the Georgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and before being appointed as the Georgian president.

Another one of the team, Diana Zhgent, current Ambassador to Poland, and surprise, surprise, who is her husband but Irakli Chikovani, Minister of Defense! I just spent two weeks in Poland, and it was not for my health. It seems to that some high level Polish citizens are married to foreign citizens, which raises many suspicions, especially conflicts of interests with the US government.

Which country is most likely going to get involved directly in Ukraine, for historic and political reasons, especially political survival in the wake of recent elections? And we should also note how things are not going well for the coalition of the willing on the side of NATO and the US!

The organization “CANVAS”, at the core of which is the organization “Otpor” (resistance) is being used to prepare youth groups for the revolutionary scenario envisaged by foreign governments. It is these organizations that took an active part in the revolutionary movements in Serbia in the past and are regularly used in different countries to train young people and involve them in destabilizing processes, including contributions to the Rose revolution in Georgia in 2003, and Maidan in 2014, Kiev, and with the help of US trained Georgian snipers.

The Georgian State Security Service obtained surveillance film of US funded “CANVAS” training in October 2023, which clearly shows that a revolution is being planned.

The SSSG further claims that these individuals were actively teaching methods of creating protest drives and tactics for the conducting of violent protests. They added that they represent the management link of the “Canvas” organization. Further claims are that Sinisa Sikman and Slobodan Jinovic are former members of the “Otpor” organization, which was an analog of the Georgian organization “Kmara” in Serbia.

It is notable that the Georgian government has not been at all supportive of the western led war effort in Ukraine, instead limiting itself to humanitarian aid for displaced people. Something that is obviously infuriating its western “friends and partners”, especially for the resolute refusal to join sanctions against Russia, let alone open a second front to relieve pressure on the rapidly deteriorating Ukrainian armed forces.

Queue the usual tactic of the “free and democratic world order” – Revolution.

I suspect the real reason for the Georgian law on financial transparency that has so infuriated NGOs and their western masters, was to make it blatantly obvious how the system works, and what they are up to in trying to subvert the democratically elected government of Georgia, and to make the mask of friendship worn by the US and EU slip.

In that regard, it has been extremely successful even before it was signed, and the mask has not only slipped, but fallen off completely.

But should we really care?  German Labs will always find something when they can blame Russia –goes back to all the lies on Novichok … and we have heard these allegations again and again. However, if true, and if done by those who are invariably getting the blame, would Mamulashvili not already be dead?

Perhaps he is the reincarniation of Raspitin who was immune to posion!
