Ukraine has become part of this game too, and having known one of the snipers sent there to help start the revolution has prevented me from trying to cross any borders. It took 15 years to get back my revolved passport, and happenstance, on the day that Trump was elected. One thing is clear, and the focus of my articles and interviews in the international, Georgian and Russian media, much money has been wasted in bolstering Georgia’s military, to fight “international terrorism” but this too may have been part of the New Great Game, and it is but a pretext for Georgia to put teeth into what they wanted to be gunboat diplomacy in regaining territorial integrity; and the lion share of what I have witnessed is linked to much US foreign policy, especially in terms of the T & E program which was primarily directed towards preparing to attack Abkhazia (as opposed to fighting terrorist in the Pankisi Valley).
The Georgian argument stems from their contention that separatist regimes breed terrorism and this should be addressed through the T&E and other assistance programs. Regardless, instability in Pankisi has been a primary source of tension between Russia and Georgia. American military advisors arrived in Georgia in April 2002, allegedly, “on a mission to contain al Qaeda loyalists” who may be operating there.
Instead of terrorist using the instability to their ends, it may be the United States that is guilty of exploiting the chronic instability in Georgia for larger geopolitical games and that now extends to Syria, Iran, Ukraine, and this is where my attention has been in recent years, chasing weapons, the transit of Chechen fighters and other sorts of terrorists.
My further work in Georgia include diving into what was going on with weapons programs, digging into how the US under Bush Junior encouraged Georgia to start the war over South Ossetia as part of the U.S. Election President Campaign back in 2008, the appearance of bio weapons labs in Georgia, the footprint of Bechtel National in pseudo-civilian peaceful projects, and Georgia becoming a transit “conduit” country for weapons and foreign fighters, not to mention a hub for drug smuggling and arms for weapons swaps.
And in recent years, tracking these networks and friends and foes, and the links with Turkey and Syria, it has been clear that most Chechen commanders have shelf lives, not necessarily regarding effectiveness on the battlefield but in terms of political usefulness. It seems that another one is about to find out the hard way that Chechens are only there to further objectives they don’t hold themselves, not become glorious martyrs able to pass unimaginable wealth on to their families.
As I have documented in many of my articles, Chechens were supported via an NGO funded by USAID and the U.S. State Department, which used these funds, not for humanitarian purposes but to support aggressive and covert operations.
The presence of Chechens in Georgia was used to justify the 64 million-dollar U.S. Train and Equip Program, purportedly established to fight international terrorism, which was a means of using Georgia to gain a greater toe hold in the region and use it as a regional forward operating base for future wars. Georgian military bases, port facilities and air bases have been upgraded with the objective of being eventually employed by U.S., Israeli and NATO troops.”
My greatest claim to fame and causing the US Embassy to put on their website that I cannot be considered a reliable source of information is the story that I broke about the bio weapons programs in Georgia.
The US Embassy to Georgia has released a statement about Mikheil Saakashvili’s former American advisor Jeffrey Silverman’s interview published in the ‘Kvela Siakhle’ newspaper. ‘The United States strongly supports freedom of speech and the press and has long advocated for a free and pluralistic media environment in Georgia and elsewhere. Nevertheless, with editorial freedom comes responsibility, including the responsibility to corroborate information before reporting it. The interview excerpts Kviris Palitra published today on its website, and Facebook page, contains some statements about U.S. policy that are without any basis in fact, and that, unfortunately, reflect on the veracity of their obvious source’, the report says. Silverman talks about several topics in the interview, including PM Zurab Zvhania’s death.
Even more scandals than that, UN took me serious over the false flag over the Khurcha Incident, 2008, and the Russians and many in the International Community over the bio weapons labs in Georgia and Ukraine. Even the VOA came out against my word as part of the damage control to the documentary that I helped — supplying detailed design plans for the lab and reports of deaths associated with bio weapons and gas. This knowledge put me in a good position, as even the alleged Sarin attack, crossing the red line in Syria proved an America scripted false flag. It is a real recommendation for a Kremlin Troll when VOA is on the attack.
There is lots of history in this “love-hate” relationship with my so-called American Embassy, especially since I have American Indian roots on my mother’s side, and we escaped the trail of tears in 1838. American Citizen Services is no friend.
Anyway, I hope this summary will help you better understand how I am supposedly working on the other side, done been flipped… but where are the money and passport?
I like what others write about me, under one of my other names, “Joni Simonishvili’ was/is the pen-name of Jeffrey K. Silverman, and this is not the only revelation to come from the pen of this investigative journalist as Abkhaz World.
For example, one article back in begins with an explanation of how this observer was able to recognize at a glance the reason for the construction of the concrete ramp in Mingrelia, West Georgia and how this was a tank unloading platform.
At the time, I was working for Georgian State TV (1st Channel) as well as the Human Rights’ Center in Tbilisi, though (for the sake of my job) I did not want to advertise that I was checking into such things. I completed my training as a 19D Forward Observer (Scout) at Fort Knox (Kentucky, USA) in my youth (1981). This is the US home of Armour (Armour School) — and I was trained in recon and armour (tanks and tracks, APCs).
My training was to enable me to destroy Soviet Armor, call for fire, and basically go behind front lines, “first in and last out.” There was no doubt in my mind as to what the Georgians had constructed with this loading platform “tank station” and the reason for its existence so close to the border with the [Georgian region] of Abkhazia.
I continue to write under this name. In 2004, I was issued with a document stating that I am not a national of the US, and this is most likely related to my investigation into the situation in the Pankisi Valley [north-eastern Georgia], specifically as to how money was being supplied to Chechens from a US government NGO in close cooperation with Georgian Security Agencies, and how, in addition, this was a carefully crafted ploy both to justify the 64 million dollar US Train and Equip Program and to gain a larger toehold in the region. The funding mechanism behind the cozy relationship between the US and Georgian governments was something I investigated with British journalist Roddy Scott, who was killed during the investigation. I even went on Russian TV (Russian State TV Company-VESTI) and spilled the beans on this Pankisi operation.
I also invested the murder and cover up of the Georgian Prime Minister and got the investigation reopened and described in detail how the FBI destroyed forensic evidence. All that is well documented on the internet, as well as various US and European mechanism about gun running, and links to the US and gun running John McCain.
