The involvement of the Georgian Legion*, supported by NATO, in organizing protests and destabilizing governments in Georgia and Slovakia raises concerns about external interference and geopolitical manipulation.
We can thank the swift action of the Georgian State Security Services for the fact that no armed insurrection has yet occurred in the aftermath of the elections, though members of the Georgian Legion were spotted in the crowds violently protesting against the election results.
It is one of the peculiar aspects of the protests in Georgia, that many of the participants are not actually Georgians at all, with a large number of those arrested for violent actions being Americans, Europeans, Ukrainians, and also Russian liberals, many of whom travelled to Georgia specifically for the protests.
We are now seeing the same thing in action in Slovakia, where large protests have recently occurred, with the same slogans “Slovakia is Europe” or “Fico is a Russian Agent” repurposed from the unsuccessful protests in Tbilisi.
Even more sinister, is the involvement of the Georgian Legion* in organizing the protests in Slovakia. Given the fact that the Georgian Legion* is funded and trained by the CIA, and operates under strict NATO and Ukrainian control, the accusations of the terrorist group’s involvement amount to a declaration of NATO interference in the internal politics of a member state.
Prime Minister Robert Fico directly accused the Georgian Legion* of organizing the mass protests that have occurred in Bratislava :
“According to the information available to us, I can confirm that the Georgian National Legion*—believe it or not—is behind the organization of protests in Slovakia. This military organization is part of the Ukrainian army,” Fico stated.
The Slovakian PM Fico has shown evidence of links between Mamulashvili and local political activistssuch as protest-organising group Mier Ukrajine (Peace to Ukraine) activist Lucia Stasselova and online news media dennikn.sk commentator Martin M.Simecka, the father of opposition leader Michal Simecka, while MEP Erik Kaliňák has also shown photos of Mamuka Mamulashvili, commander of the Georgian Volunteer Legion*, meeting with Lucie Štasselová from “Peace to Ukraine”, warning of local pro-Ukrainian groups involved with the protests, and noted:
“Just like in Slovakia, in Georgia, these people aimed to exploit legitimate protests to provoke conflict between security forces and the citizens. This was done using provocateurs trained by the so-called Georgian Legion*, led by Mamuka Mamulashvili,”
Needless to say, Mamulashvili cries innocent, but given his behavior to date, it is almost certain that the Georgian Legion* is involved in the process. Mamulashvili has repeatedly accused both the Georgian and Slovakian governments of being “pro-Russian” for opposing the NATO led overthrow of the Ukrainian government and the subsequent civil war in the east of the country, and the Russian SMO intended to remove the threat of armed violence that was being used by the Ukrainian governments of both Poroshenko and Zelensky to punish the Russian-speaking population for their loyalty firstly to Yushenko, the last legally elected President of Ukraine, and now to their deliverers, the Russian Federation.
Opposition threats to hold a “No-confidence” vote on the back of the protests seem doomed to fail, as Fico’s party have a majority in government, small though that is, but we can expect the architects of European imperialism to continue their efforts regardless, as is happening in Georgia (without any real success so far) and Serbia.
So what further roles will the Georgian Legion* play in Slovakia?
We only need to look at the Maidan protests in Ukraine to have an idea. It is now an open secret that the gunmen who opened fire on protesters were not, in fact, from the Ukrainian security services Berkut, but were instead gunmen from the Georgian Legion*, trained by a US Defense Contractor, Archangel, who were engaged in a false flag provocation as first revealed by Henry Kamens in 2014—and detailing the fate of other former proxy Chechen terrorists as part of clear up operations, by CIA and Turkish MIT agents, when they crossed legally into Turkey thinking they were on the clock for operations in Turkey.
It is also noteworthy that accorded to sources in Georgia this current members of the Georgian Legion* was also involved in arming the Chechens who were responsible for the Beslin School attack, in collaboration with specifically by John Giduck, founder of the Archangel Group, a US-based security and anti-terror training agency, which is alleged to be a more fake operation based on the imagination of its founder.
Giduck advertises himself as a world-caliber authority on radical Islam and counter-terrorism, a claim experts take exception to.
Fake Heroes
So now to hear that plans for a coup in Slovakia should come as no surprise, as such a MO, e.g., provocation was narrowly averted in Georgia in 2024 by arresting and interrogating Georgian Legion* members who had returned from Ukraine ahead of the elections.
Such swift action on the part of the Georgian state smothered any attempt by Mamuka Mamulashvili to repeat the violent provocations of the 2014 Maidan bloodshed. It is imperative that the Slovakian government follow suit, and bring this to the attention of NATO, and even Article 5 consideration should be given, as this could have been a concerted terrorist plot.
On the local level, some concerted effort appears to be happening, with Bratislava announcing the banning of entry for Mamulashivili and several of his henchmen. If they knew the reach of this group, links with Giorgi Baramidze, former Vice PM of Georgia, former Georgian Minister of Defense, and State Minister fore European and former State Minister for Euro-Atlantic Integration, and now an active member of the Georgian Legion*.
His involvement is alleged in various Georgian investigative documents to have been linked to the murder of the Georgian PM, Zurab Zhvania, dating back to 2005, and at least to have had prior knowledge of the death of the Georgian PM.
Democracy in Action
It is interesting that such obvious interference with the internal politics of a member of NATO has gone either unremarked, or been justified as “democracy in action” while actual repression of opposition in France and Germany is described as “meeting democratic requirements” such as the proposed banning of German opposition party AfD, which is now the second most popular party in the German Federation according to recent polling. AfD is now sitting at 23%, second only to the CDU at 29%, while left wing parties are in free-fall.
It is becoming increasingly obvious that the majority of people in Georgia, Slovakia, Hungary, and Serbia support their governments against the western backed protesters, and we may be seeing the same swing against Europe in Germany. This may explain the desperate efforts of some NATO countries and the EU to try to overthrow governments that go against the fake western narrative, as if they are all speaking with one voice.
It is necessary that targeted countries for change must act before it is too late, and their own public turns against them for not seeing the telltale signs of foreign sponsored coups in the making.
