For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it.

Sources of good info on Russian-Georgian conflict

category international | anti-war / imperialism | opinion/analysis author Saturday August 09, 2008 00:49author by FactSeeker Report this post to the editors

If only they had a local indy site!

Amidst the fog of war, and lack of media on the ground, it's anybody's guess as to what is actually going on there at the minute. It is claimed that Russian aircraft attacked military and other targets in Georgia (Russia denies any such attacks happened, and Georgia claims to have shot down some of the aircraft) and a large number of Russian tanks has crossed the border. Each side claims the other fired the first shot.

The usual fog of war has arisen, but it seems there's defintely some deception going on.
Georgia claims to have shot down Russian combat aircraft attacking Georgia, - which Russia deny were there - and the media reports that the Georgian military drove into South Ossetia
(while the Georgians say they were demanding an end to the Russian attacks)
and the Russians happened to have amassed a column of tanks fuelled up and ready to roll in. - Meanwhile, most people are watching the Olympics.

The Russian Foreign Minister is crying crocodile tears for civilians and the trouble that relief organisations have helping people during conflicts.
Now, the president of Georgia is saying he will agree to immediate ceasefire, mediation and observer peacekeepers (not Russian military, presumably).

Anybody got any good analysis of what's going on there. I knew that the Georgians were being rather stubborn about granting independence but they were talking about an independent republic much like two other areas already have. They also claim that the people who claim to be running an independent South Ossetia, are Russian agents, installed by the Kremlin.

If only they had in indymedia in that neck of the woods! The closest one seems to be Armenia (http://armenia.indymedia.org/ ), which won't load for me at the minute.
