Mariam Lashkhi: NGO Nation - Who Speaks for Georgia? Jun 12, 2025

Show notes

Mariam Lashkhi is a representative of the Georgian Dream Party and a member of the Georgian Parliament.

A strong civil society is required as a balance to state power in a healthy democracy. However, what happens when civil society is represented by "non-governmental organisations" (NGOs) that are financed by foreign governments with strong geopolitical interests? On the dividing lines of a redivided Europe, Georgia finds itself with thousands of "NGO's" financed by Western governments, many with close cooperation with foreign intelligence services. The government in Georgia passed an NGO transparency law, which was immediately denounced in the West as a "Russian law". While the government of Georgia has no diplomatic relations with Russia and aspires to join NATO, it is nonetheless dismissed as "pro-Russian" after refusing to join the fighting against Russia. As the Prime Minister of Georgia warned, the NGOs are used by the US to topple the government so a second front can be opened against Russia.Follow Prof. Glenn Diesen:Substack: https://glenndiesen.substack.com/X/Twitter: https://x.com/Glenn_DiesenPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/glenndiesenSupport the channel:PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/glenndiesenBuy me a Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/gdiesengGo Fund Me: https://gofund.me/09ea012f

Ulrike Guérot: Censorship, Cancellation & Death of Democracy in Europe Jun 12, 2025

Show notes

Ulrike Guérot is one of the leading German political scientists and experts on Europe. Guérot outlines how European academia began to change after the global financial crisis (2008-09) as the crisis resulted in reduced acceptance for criticism and the narrowing of acceptable debate. Following her criticism of the Covid policies, Guérot discovered that she was increasingly met with personal attacks rather than counter-arguments. When she questioned the narrative of an "unprovoked" Russian invasion of Ukraine she was suddenly accused of taking the side of Russia, a vicious smear campaign began, colleagues and friends turned against her, and a search to discover anything that could be interpreted as "academic dishonesty" eventually led to being fired from the university. The story about how one of Germany's leading academics could be cancelled tells a wider story about the decline of academic freedom, the efforts to crush all dissent, and the revival of European authoritarianism.
