Russia Is the New ‘Global Warming’, by J.B. Shurk

You have to have something or someone to blame bad things on (as long as that doesn’t include yourself). From J.B. Shurk at americanthinker.com:

The nation of Georgia held local elections last weekend, and anti-E.U. candidates won roughly 80% of the votes.  Pro-E.U. rioters immediately attempted to invade the presidential palace and overthrow the government.  Militants waved brand-new E.U. flags as they set government buildings on fire.  Security services located weapons and explosives hidden away for use during the insurrection.  The Georgian government officially accused Brussels of inciting riots and attempting a coup d’état.  

Needless to say, this story is not getting much attention from corporate news media in the West.  When it is addressed, Western sources describe the insurrectionists and saboteurs as “pro-democracy” protesters.  It has become an established pattern over the last fifteen years that when leftist-globalists lose elections, they work to overthrow the legitimately elected governments…in the name of “democracy.”  In 2014, that’s exactly what happened in Ukraine.

A week before the Georgian elections, Moldova held national elections.   Moldova is a small former Soviet republic wedged between Ukraine and Romania.  For this reason, it has become a highly contested state that NATO and the E.U. would like to control.  From the perspective of Western observers, last week’s elections went the right way.  The pro-E.U. party won a parliamentary majority, and those parties that prefer closer relations with Russia lost.  European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen celebrated by telling Moldovans, “You made your choice clear: Europe.  Democracy.  Freedom.” 

What Western news sources gloss over, however, is that Moldova’s electoral commission banned political parties and candidates perceived as being “pro-Russia” from participating in the election.  In an effort to “fight Russian interference,” the pro-E.U. ruling government in Moldova rigged the election in its own favor.  In this way, Moldova simply followed Romania’s example from last year, when the latter annulled its own presidential election because a candidate perceived as being “pro-Russia” had unexpectedly won.  In the name of “democracy,” both Romania and Moldova have made sure that only pro-E.U. parties and candidates can participate in their “democracies.”
