Mariam Lashkhi, notorious for her theories about the Global War Party and Freemasons, says that “Ukraine could have avoided the war.” This is coming from a Georgian who, more than anyone, should know that it’s impossible to avoid war with Russia. Appeasement has never worked with them.

Apparently, TV Pirveli cameraman Lasha Jioshvili was arrested for holding a banner today that read: “Today we agree on the importance of condoms.” It was Ivanishvili’s birthday.

Eyewitnesses heard Jioshvili yell, “They’re putting something in my pocket.”

Just in: Masked men have kidnapped TV Pirveli cameraman Lasha Jioshvili. They claim to be policemen. #TerrorinGeorgia Video: Keti Tsulukidze

“Fire to the oligarchy!” protesters chant as they burn Ivanishvili’s scarecrow on Rustaveli Avenue. Today is his 69th birthday, and sources say he is afraid of witchcraft. #GeorgiaProtests Video: Prelude22

Protesters brought a Zviad Kharazishvili’s piñata to Rustaveli Avenue. Kharazishvili, also known as Khareba, is the head of the Special Task Force at the MIA and is notorious for his violence against peaceful protesters. #GeorgiaProtests

People are celebrating Bidzina Ivanishvili’s birthday by ignoring the ban on fireworks during protests. Day 83 of #GeorgiaProtests.

So, a country that hasn’t held democratic elections for at least two decades is demanding that elections be held in a country that cannot hold them—solely because this very country has waged war against it, right? 😶

The Kremlin is demanding that NATO revoke the 2008 Bucharest Summit decision affirming that Georgia and Ukraine will become members of the alliance. Throughout history, appeasement has never worked with Russia—never once.

Mzia Amaglobeli has ended her hunger strike after 37 days and hundreds of letters urging her to stop. I’m happy and relieved. This is the only rational and right decision in this situation. The regime doesn’t care about her health or well-being, and we need people like her to remain safe and strong.

President Salome Zourabichvili was attacked by regime thugs at Tbilisi International Airport upon her arrival from the Munich Conference. As expected, the propaganda mouthpieces have themselves shared footage of the attack. This was orchestrated and premeditated by Georgian Dream. #TerrorInGeorgia

Just in: Reportedly, President @Zourabichvili_S was attacked by regime thugs at Tbilisi International Airport upon her arrival from the Munich Conference.

GD propaganda channels are circulating footage of Gakharia being pelted with eggs at Tbilisi International Airport—clearly a pre-orchestrated attack. 1/2

Former Prime Minister and current opposition leader Giorgi Gakharia, along with his party member, former ambassador to Germany Elguja Khokrishvili, was met by thugs and attacked at Tbilisi International Airport upon returning from the Munich Conference.

During a tragedy like this, GD officials present at the site where two children died have brought in titushkys who are attacking journalists covering the news.

In Batumi 4 and 5 y/o children fell into an open trench and lost their lives. It happened in “Dream City,” a neighborhood created by GD, intended for the resettlement of eco-migrants. 5 days ago, Kobakhidze announced the project’s 2nd phase - PR event, held without a tender process, cost 209,165 GEL

Day 80. #GeorgiaProtests

I’m excited to share that I’ve been admitted to Boston University’s College of Communication (MS in Journalism). I’ll begin my studies this September as a recipient of the school’s most prestigious scholarship 🇬🇪🇺🇸

Slapped with sanctions Georgian oligarch Ivanishvili brings assets home: www.occrp.org/en/scoop/sla...

Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine! Слaва Украïні! 🇺🇦

Azerbaijani journalist Afghan Sadigov is in critical condition. He was arrested in Tbilisi in August, and Georgia intends to extradite him to the Aliyev regime, where, as a critical journalist, he will face torture. He has been on hunger strike for 143 days and stopped taking water on Feb 2.

"You're a bad person, and that small incident, someone else's mistake just gave you the right to stand here [in parliament] and ask those stupid questions," said GD leader Nino Tsilosani to Formula TV journalist Guram Rugava, who was hit in the head by a masked police officer while on air.

#GeorgiaProtests, Day 76. Rustaveli Avenue is blocked once again.

February is a tough month in Georgian history. On this day, February 11, 1921—just three years after Georgia gained independence from the Russian Empire—the Soviet Russian army invaded. Within two weeks, Georgia was occupied, annexed, and forced into the Soviet Union. #NeverAgain

After meeting with opposition party leaders yesterday, President Salome Zourabichvili held meetings today with representatives of the media, civil society, and grassroots movements. She will attend the Munich Conference later this week.

Lasha Gabitashvili, the man who got into a physical confrontation with GD leaders in Abu Dhabi, was attacked near his house today while walking his dog. We fully expected this vendetta. Full story below 👇

Lasers are back. “Freedom to Mzia,” reads the laser projection on the Parliament building. #GeorgiaProtests

Wait, what… are those fireworks? At a protest? But didn’t GD ban them? #GeorgiaProtests

“We’re back” - the laser protesters are back on Rustaveli. Long time no see. #GeorgiaProtests

And just like that, Rustaveli is blocked. Day 75. #GeorgiaProtests

Levan Gogichaishvili, a member of the For Georgia party and a former Georgian Dream MP, has just been arrested, his wife, journalist Vika Bukia, reports.

The Prosecutor's Office of Georgia has launched yet another criminal investigation. 1/

A lot will change at the legislative level regarding foreign ambassadors, warns Guram Macharashvili, a member of the GD-proxy opposition group People's Power.

20 y/o political prisoner Nikoloz Javakhishvili is on the 7th day of a hunger strike in solidarity with jailed journalist Mzia Amaglobeli, who has been on hunger strike for 30 days. According to Javakhishvili’s lawyer, GD-affiliated lawyer Davit Gamkrelidze visited him in his cell 1/2

Lika Guntsadze, the mother of arrested actor Andro Tchitchinadze, claims that some lawyers, supported by GD, are attempting to pressure political prisoners. These lawyers reportedly offer to secure their release if they admit to the illegal charges or implicate other political prisoners.

Day 74 on Rustaveli Avenue. “Police everywhere, justice nowhere” “No justice, no peace” #GeorgiaProtests

Cell 101: Zviad Tsetskhladze, a 19-year-old prisoner of the regime, published a newspaper from prison with the help of his friends. #GeorgiaProtests

Fireworks are back on Rustaveli Avenue. GD banned using them last month. #GeorgiaProtests
