ok for you to spend your whole life in a trance to avoid reality is it really ok for everyone in town on friday night after work to go on an ice crystal meth rampage the other problem is that the war on drugs fails because it is fighting the drugs and not the reason why people take them which is to escape reality why do people want to escape reality because in modern times or post modern times we live a soulless pointless isolated consumeristic existence of working in a police office job just to get poor so we can scrape by and get some cheap plastic junk at walmart when people's lives are empty they will fill them with something through a needle but that's just my opinion. it's . such.

a hoarder. who will follow orders. cool. november two thousand and three are still very avenue in tbilisi people are protesting against and wish him a nod say demanding he steps down as president thirty five year old mccall second israeli storms the parliament he's wearing a bulletproof vest under his coat his supporters are holding brazenness the new revolution needed a symbol is really challenged the man who had supported and defended him this happens in politics a new page in history often starts with the trail. when your fellow.

i-l. safe it is your love of course he was scared he didn't know what would happen. he chose the i don't much on bush by also i was mostly concerned about himself and band result can that or still it didn't care much about the safety of innocent people like a fool but a. good cause george shows in two thousand and three was covered with roses at first not a single shot was fired during this revolution the young leader came to power back then it seemed the euphoria would never end. into the right perspective georgians practically worship saakashvili in two thousand and three and nine years later the same people took to the streets shouting me shit. happened to these people why did george i wish the west considered a beacon of democracy in the kooks is turn out to be

a very different country why is this young lady hated by the majority of georgians now how has power to change the young reformers in ways georgia had it now. now it's all vias to everybody that this was a scripted revolution that had a clear goal in the organizers use methods that time it didn't seem to matter in november two thousand and three george it was going through a political spring the grace awakening hundreds of thousands of georgians took to

the streets really believing that life would change for the better. the people didn't want to see old politicians in power they wanted young democrats may call second is really. a needle booge announcing all three of them were forced to stick together playing roles of loyalty members but they had to establish this formal union because there was pressure from the people but they didn't really like each other didn't respect each other and knew everything about each other when shevardnadze who basically raised this new generation of politicians gave up his power voluntarily but he warns georgians about possible dangers. encourage these guys. their kids a bubble of anything. people close to really remember how he began his political career. he was a young man with a degree in international law from kiev's university of international affairs very

friendly sociable and charming. but later it became obvious that he was unstable hyper emotional. patients. just wasn't one of his characteristics you could. throw in. your is a small country basically everybody knows everybody here knew that young mikhail saakashvili was from an educated family this is me said when he was a little. biography school the leadership position in colin small university in military service in the soviet border troops but after the fall of the soviet union sectors really got the chance to study abroad he did it with the help of his uncle a u.n. diplomat in ninety ninety five sexually returns to georgia with his dutch wife. his friend. promised him

a parliamentary seat as part of the union of citizen of georgia it is that those of the south interestingly enough some have nods and never talked about the fact that he didn't just start his political career in this party but was even the leader of the parliamentary majority that supported shevardnadze. when he criticised his government in his public addresses never mentioned the fact that he himself used to be a minister of justice in that government. to help his hand asking people to vote for him but i feel. like. in this hyperactive young minister with his populist ideas george. even the panther skin you haven't come down from the trees the. russians still wear shoes. young. very important lesson at that time there are no friends in politics his thirst for powell often scared even his

own party members. who push he wants to be the leader and he will do anything for that position. literally anything in justifies the means. he often says to his close allies know this if i have to i will sacrifice my own mother who raised me by herself and that was true. nobody can stand in my way but if you stand next to me i will never forget it you show anyone who joins my team will be duly rewarded. i'm a very sentimental person sentimental very often when i see sad movies. often cry i'm a very gentle person but i am forced to fight all the time.

he said. when he became president in two thousand and four and received all the power is fairly started with some radical reforms. of the diplomatic academy so so since i was a was an advisor to the president at the time as a true georgian he is sitting at a table talking about those times he says that governing a country is not as easy as making it takes knowledge and skills whereas really in his team just powered through the load a young team of reformers. came up with on realistic projects but they were rookies they thought the people support us. we have all the power what else do we need

a. second israelis first order of business was to file corrupt policemen and hire new people who had nothing to do with the old system for two months there were no police in. the police reform. is small miracle. i remember how cops used to stop my car and ask. would you donate to the police fund and they had to pay. and then suddenly. we have police. who don't take bribes. former defense minister and former education minister of georgia dmitri says the georgian police reform was the most successful initiative in countries georgia was one of the most corrupt countries in the former u.s.s.r.

and in nine years it was able to get rid of corruption. somehow it was able to get to the point where you can no longer be stopped by a cop asking for a private in this country you can have your passport done in five minutes and you don't need to pay anybody. the georgian army was at an unprecedented rate at the same time the authorities didn't make a sequel to the georgian cannons would a match in case of war. before the army reform was based on the idea that russia was our potential enemy. it was in armenia and azerbaijan or turkey russia was a threat for us so preparing for a potential carrillo warfare was a. tasks. to georgian armed forces were formed according to the western image at that time georgia set a world record by increasing its defense budget thirty times.

having secured the us supports the un prison drastically in georgia westwood he was moving towards withdrawing from russia's sphere of influence and integrating into naysay actually georgia had already made such a turn in the course of its history. georgia made his first attempt to withdrawing from russia's sphere of influence and finding a western patron in the early twentieth century after the collapse of the russian empire the mensheviks established the georgian democratic republic that when turkey lost this invasion from the south the georgian authorities also germany to help them soon after that the german expedition we called landed in the port of but to me. at the time europeans viewed the men should make george as a bacon of democracy and bassy and of liberalism and social justice according to the second international delegates who would often travel here to enjoy the local wine georgia became a civilized corner of asia however the admiration of george just stopped when it

became a soviet republic in one hundred twenty one. and. today they're talking about economic and cultural expansion in. some of them to me as areas are taken by talk certainty where they live and work. all our major projects such as hotels are a turkish advancements other than the economic influence we're also dealing with a demographic presence which is quite noticeable to turkey looks at this matter somewhat differently. is an area where it has historical and political influence. there was hit in a jar you nearly an over eighty seconds really had one of the first expropriations of the roots be bashed in seize clams property was returned to the state treasury price in that instance the young reform is dead only to seize property from the

relatives and the l.c. shevardnadze first his son in law they did this next few days are not authorized the fifty seven year old be the monthly debt to all georgian pensioners and teachers will be covered by this amount that had been transferred by shover nazis daughter from new york. in february two thousand and five the anti corruption struggle receded into the background and georgia was shocked when prime minister. this century the second man in the country died in mysterious circumstances.

with the economic downturn in the final months the love of the deal shanghai and the rest of life until you meet a few will be if we. know c.n.n. the m s n b c news have taken some slightly but the fact is i admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate. that was funny but it's closer to the truth and might think. it's because one hundred ten. and the mainstream media works side by side the joke is actually on here. and our teen years we have a different. oh because the news of the world just is not this funny

i'm not laughing dammit i'm not how. you guys talk to the jokes will handle them. right to see. first street. and i think the church. on our reporters twitter. and instagram. be in the. end. with enough police found and his friend raul you're supposed in

a rented apartment in this building will be authorities announced they died of cholera monoxide poisoning were however they were just scrap and sees in the official version. what did the fingerprints of the deceased would not discovered in the apartment i knew suppose was missing one shoe the mysterious death of the prime minister's for numerous room is and theories you will get. in the morning the authorities rushed to say the prime minister died of carbon monoxide poisoning because of a fold with brady inmate he said quote i guess but you know the real mr shaw and his blood showed a mix of hemoglobin and carbon monoxide. will come from throats concentration exceeded forty percent whereas a lethal dose for a human being is twenty percent of the time i an economy should really was the late independent forensic scientists in georgia the fact that statements of this kind made prior to the autopsy just boosted doubts. that it wasn't carbon monoxide

poisoning the question is whether that really did happen in that strange apartment that what they wanted to make it look like solid evidence but they failed. but there were no fingerprints. those people were sitting there eating and drinking how come they did. leave any fingerprints anywhere. you can of course it wasn't an accident. it was a planned assassination. now eight years later the circumstances of zero death still remain a mystery for the entire georgian society however that society and the georgian authorities had radically changed by two thousand and five. national why of course it was an isolated governing system was began transforming into an autocratic regime and the system decided not to investigate the prime minister's death. we believe it was an assassination it wasn't just

a murder it was an abomination. my initial i should really who openly expressed outrage towards the professional investigation into the media personally experienced a change of atmosphere in the country when i woke up i saw a man standing in the door. she was wearing a black coat and a black mask and he was pointing a machine gun at me and my daughter. the first thing i said was please do not scare my child i thought there were some burglars. i said please take all my money but did not kill my child. and then they told me that i was accused of organizing a coup. i burst out with relief and said praise god. my was charged with nothing less than preparing for a coup de ta in the form of an armed insurgents. it wasn't even funny according to them i was going to bring several hundred people together arm

them. and then assess and they could. or should cause their internal affairs minister bag them. and then psych us through it as well. when meyer admitted her guilt she was sentenced to probation and released from custody but that didn't make her life easier. if. i was forced to admit something i wouldn't even dream off in my worst nightmare so it doesn't have been living with it for six years now this is something i cannot tell anyone not even my daughter i couldn't even the calm down my daughter and tell her the truth. i felt like jews in a concentration camp who had to wear star marks for a recognition. that i felt like i was bearing a mark in my home country loved so much. i was not like others

i wasn't allowed to do anything i was allowed to stay alive and i was supposed to be thankful for that. though i know if. it turned out however that the police reform had some downsides charges of espionage will organize a coup were conducted on a large scale politically motivated trials for one another under the pretext of fighting corruption the authorities took away people's businesses the company was managed by iraqi of course merely the president's loyal support. stolen money as you call it how large was the sum returned to the budget. only in the last three months to some reached about twenty million ten million dollars so the prosecutor comes up to him and says looking did you say you can pay seven million dollars and if you do. you go if you go to prison. back then according to those in the know there were cases of businessmen suddenly waking up

in the middle of the night and voluntarily signing their property over to the states or officials loyal to cyprus really. was one of those who refused to do that a few years ago he owned a successful business in the oil industry. sarin gas was in every gas pump in the country. they took away zones business and arrested his children to hold it over him for persistent noncompliance all was sentenced to sixteen years in prison . i spent four years in prison there were twelve to go. near a petrolia is the head of one of the most reputed opinion poll companies he was the first one to disclose the results showing that in terms of people's trust george in place was second only to george's paycheck the second. no they don't take bribes anymore but here's the dilemma. wouldn't it be better if the police were

corrupt but weren't protecting one single person in office. or is it better for them to be honest but at the same time spare no effort to keep such a party the united national movement in power personally i would prefer the former . polls conducted by in europe to truly is research center show that despite george's democratic advances the standards of living in the country is still one of the lowest among the former soviet countries. the only things that about forty nine percent of georgians can afford to buy today are food and clothes. george's economy took a serious hit in two thousand and six the government sent the russian rhetoric this agricultural country its biggest export market the russian one. this is my little cellar where i keep my wine right here.

is a used to be considered the most successful businessman in georgia nicknamed the wind when russia imposed the embargo his company lost about eighty percent of its profits. many companies have gone bankrupt and many companies growth was stunted in the former soviet countries brand awareness of our products is high we need to invest ten times more to generate such levels of brand awareness in the united states or europe today. combine to kids who served as a minister of economy under seconds really believes the opposite that the embargo benefited georgia's developed economy as it prompted businessmen to search for new markets. in two thousand and five russia was right georges number one trade partner and now it's in sixth place. and that's only because georgia didn't close its borders for russian goods says that one of. the

ordinary georgians who worked in the el is only valid picking grapes lost their jobs because of the embargo. that was a tough it was give that is there of hope for the better with this well if we are able to export to russia again things will get better for sure. a little bit which . was.

israeli was busy terrorizing business and depriving the country of. the role of the democrats in the international arena he was putting on a show it was small free country struggling. to show it was a success that made an impression on the west. when the e.u. official was plain in brussels he knew he was going to a young democracy which naturally would have some problems and who does and. everyone makes mistakes but you know this everyone makes mistakes principle has a negative side too it can become an excuse for anything. george w. bush's visit to georgia in may two thousand and five was the high point of the charade aimed at convincing the audience of the triumph of democracy. then the american president called george a beacon of democracy really only for allegiance to western values and name the

road from the international airport to downtown to see george w. bush the georgian president is always understood what it means to make a grand gesture. that's how. he was born to work in p.r. and create images that's the way his mind works i can say that because i am one of the few people who knows him very well. it's a color of his tie a wearing american army to inspect the troops or stage performances like when he valiantly drove russian peacekeepers. he was walking and they were retreating before. of course they were he was the georgian president what were they supposed to do shoot him such things were careful. thinking of. he always considered how his actions would look. the fur example

inviting mccain and giving him a soviet made gun was heavy on symbolism since mccain served in vietnam and was shot down by soviet pilots. all over the world that's what he was trying to achieve through any means. before the circus really was to visit a georgian town houses had to be painted in a rush and local citizens dressed up the conventions of the ruling party the national movement for an exact replica of the republican conventions in the us. if we succeed this boy with an angel like face will be living in a completely different georgia.

proximately sixteen percent of imports came from illegal fishing. the european union is ironically taking fish from some of the poorest nations on earth so this is a very serious and very urgent problem that needs immediate international action. they enter our territorial waters they fish they load the fish on to the ships and leave for europe. to day illegal fishing just taking the bread out of our mouths. they're doing whatever they want in syria these days and even the obama administration can do nothing to rein the saudis in and i think to say i asked her is that. but. it doesn't have the leverage that it wants to work

through allies. and occasionally on. and deal with the court of public opinion. the best. there is our law in the toolbox right now the nominee. is on the. one hundred twenty three days. through to the member to cities of russia. really fourteen thousand people or sixty thousand coming. in a record setting trip. on our t.v. . the fact that the

practice in any given moment. people you know doing. is basically like like a normal wrist that you actually drag somebody out of his house in the middle of the night dony difference is that the person that you are arresting is not really wanted for anything this is just for practice for training the soldiers now obviously one of the reasons that it's being done is in the older to actually train which is problematic. but i would say that if you look at the whole. testimony of hundreds of soldiers you will see that the main mission. there the palestinian society as a whole not just the gunmen men women and children everybody needs to be afraid of you because that creates effective control over the palestinian population.

tonight eavesdropping on allies the latest and i say leak shows the agency has been monitoring the german chancellor cell phone for over a decade adding fuel to europe's frustration over u.s. surveillance practices also this week. i remember flying out of the window and suddenly i was on the street and in a panic. to survivors of a suicide bus that hit a crowded bus in the russian city of volgograd. america's a man killing machine pistol condemnation from amnesty international and human rights watch to say the drone strikes in pakistan and yemen make calls to crime. plus the syrian government presents its plan to destroy its chemical weapons while nineteen opposition group.
