  • Agent Iverieli passed away

    Agent Iverieli passed away

    Today become known that the patriarch of Georgian Orthodox Church passed away.

    I picked as featured image for the post a photo of his pseudonym card from Soviet KGB archives. It shows that he had agent pseudonym/alias “Iverieli” there.

    For me, main choice he made in his long life, is not only agreeing to become agent of Soviet KGB, but he never stopped to serve Kremlin and Russian Empire, even after USSR collapsed.

    This all said not to judge him or to blame for something, as he dead now and can’t respond to this post and clean his disgraced name.

    This is reminder to us, who still alive, that until last breath, there is option for us to repent in our sins and confess in our mistakes, even to public when necessary, and sometimes – to try to fix our wrongdoings.

    As soon as we passed away, there is no way to do anything of these, because nobody was able to return from beyond the Great Veil, and even in literature all what some can get is some chance to tell someone in dreams something as it recorded in the Greenbrier Ghost real US court case.

    No matter how much of evil you bring to this world via actions or word you say or who you serve to, you can stop, take a deep breath and don’t do it anymore, and start doing good deeds instead, or at least don’t do obvious evil anymore.

    This is fascinating

    This is fascinating to see how organizations, institutions, and people in Europe, such as OSCE PA leadership, can’t see difference between polarization and total incompatibility with a dictatorship.

    To my understanding, polarization between pro-democracy/pro-EU groups or parties who all normally would have common ground, usually, happens if leadership succumbed to their personal ambitions and still there is some path back towards dialog, by fostering healthy political culture traditions and practices.

    Compare this with total incompatibility between pro-Russian forces (as usually they tend to usurper power and create electoral dictatorship) and everyone else who don’t want lick the Kremlin boots (and are against the mere idea of living under electoral dictatorship or any other dictatorship.

    This post is about these claims that there is just some polarization happens here in Georgia country between the “Georgian Dream” electoral dictatorship regime and pro-EU/pro-Democracy parties.

    There is simple way to spot the difference. In case of polarization multiple sides of interaction spread hate, distrust, or isolation towards political opponents. In case of incompatibility with electoral dictatorship one political actor builds whole their existence over idea of building an electoral dictatorship, and come with promise to outlaw most prominent political opponent(s) or mere option of being not loyal and obedient.

    The “Georgian Dream” regime of electoral dictatorship leaded by a Kremlin operative and billionaire Ivanishvili openly plans to outlaw the same parties EU asks GD to keep dialogue with. EU even asks these parties to keep dialog with GD, if I am correct in understanding some of news about recent OSCE PA officials visit to Tbilisi.

    EU speaking about some polarization assumes that there are multiple sides inducing the hate towards each other.

    Meanwhile GD electoral dictatorship regime sends leaders of opposition political parties to jail. Peaceful protesters are being jailed for peacefully standing on sidewalks now. And the peaceful protesters have been tortured, beaten, and even poisoned with chemical weapon as BBC discovered!

    Would you try to keep political dialog with someone who literally tries to kill you? Poison you? Jail you for peaceful protest? Outlaw any foreign funding for you? And even local one, when accounts of local NGOs and foundations who try to help you are frozen.

    Would you keep dialog with someone who falsely declare you “foreign agent” for not being loyal and obedient enough?

    It is fascinating to see that level of “verbal blindness”.
