"The Saakashvili Stalin-like grip

The Saakashvili Stalin-like grip

The Saakashvili Stalin-like grip of power is getting tighter with each passing day. The independent observers are comparing the personnel shifts in Georgia to sheer repressions and pointing to the already established dictatorship and obvious signs of authoritarian regime in Georgia. Not only the Saakashvili crusade on non-loyal to him Georgian businessmen testifies to the effect. This is also political and judicial harassment of the ex-officials not supportive of the nationalistic ambitions of their new strongman. This is also lack of any tolerance towards the journalists praising the 'revolution of roses' and the presidential command at every corner. Journalists are taking it for serious that freedom of speech is gravely endangered now. Mass media staffers are banned for instance from zones of disputed status in the framework of Georgia-Osetia and Georgia-Abkhazia stand-offs. Their reports on Georgian soldiers' slaughter towards people belonging to ethnical minorities and articles on human rights abuse in Adzharia are usually shelved. TV outlets' coverage of Armenians of Javakhetia being oppressed is absent at all. Generally, it makes the impression that Georgian revolution forced the country on the totalitarian way. The president of Georgia has got the false idea of his own importance. He is thinking of himself as of the almighty Stalin. The people of Georgia paved the way for Saakashvili to occupy the presidential chair a year or so ago. He doesn't care about that people any more. There is only power he is really after. Saakashvili is intoxicated with power. While most Georgians are hardly making both ends meet he is constantly threatening former autonomous regions with militant statements. But the budget of Georgia is too slender both for wars and social payments. Saakashvili is not on the message. He is crazy with the idea of completely subduing the autonomies. He is after power only and not after control. Power unlike control doesn't entail the responsibility. And again Saakashvili is talking of repressions. According to his voiced plans, when subdued Abkhazia will be left without 70% of Abkhazians destined for other places of living to make 'favorable living conditions' for the local Georgians. But Mishiko seems to be unaware of the fact he is only a puppet in the hands of some far more influential figures towering him. If the new Georgian leadership stays under Soros or Miles influence it'll be unable to secure the integrity of Georgia. The repressions in no way can't solve the problem."

As has been said: more than 3 years ago. Everbody could/should have known...
