PERHAPS GLIMPSES OF AN FBI OPERATION IN PUTIN'S RUSSIA:    2/4 Lost Son: An American Family Trapped Inside the FBI's Secret Wars by  Brett Forrest  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Lost-Son-American-Family-Trapped/dp/0316591610/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= When Billy Reilly vanished, his parents embarked on a desperate search for answers. Was their son's disappearance connected to his mysterious work for the FBI, or was it a personal quest gone wrong? Only when Wall Street Journal reporter Brett Forrest embarks on his own investigation does a picture emerge: of the FBI's exploitation of US citizens through a secretive intelligence program, a young man's lust for adventure within the world's conflicts, and the costs of a rising clash between Moscow and Washington. Sept. 11th roused Billy Reilly's curiosity for religions, war, and the world and its people beyond his small town near Detroit. Online, Billy taught himself Arabic and Russian. His passions led him into jihadi Internet forums, attracting the interest of the FBI. An amateur drawn into professional intelligence, Billy became a Confidential Human Source, one of thousands of civilians who assist FBI agents with investigative work, often at great hazard and with little recourse. When Russia stirred rebellion in Ukraine, Billy set out to make his mark. In Russia, Billy's communications dropped. His parents, frantic, asked the FBI for help but struggled to find answers. Grasping for clues, the Reilly family turned to Brett Forrest. Commencing a quest of his own, Forrest applied years' worth of research, along with decades of extensive experience in Russia, illuminating the inner workings of the national-security machine that enmeshed Billy and his family, picking up the lost son's trail. A masterwork of reporting, composed like a thriller, blending political maneuvering and international espionage, Lost Son illustrates one man's coming of age amid new global dangers. 1900 TBLISI, GEORGIA

#GEORGIA: Divided deeply and violently between the EU and Moscow. Ekaterina Zolotova, @GPFutures. 1900 Tblisi

È caos a Seoul, dopo che il presidente Yoon Suk-yeol ha dichiarato la legge marziale in un discorso televisivo. La dinamica degli eventi che ha portato alla decisione non è ancora chiara, nel frattempo, scene caotiche e scontri si sono registrati di fronte al parlamento dopo che la polizia ha impedito ai parlamentari di entrare nell'edificio dell'Assemblea nazionale. Ne parliamo con Giulia Pompili, giornalista de Il Foglio ora a Seoul.Nel frattempo la piazza di Tblisi è in rivolta per la decisione del governo di interrompere le trattative per l'ingresso nell'Unione europea. Ci colleghiamo con Luna De Bartolo, giornalista freelance a Tblisi.

We talk to Ailis Halligan, freelance journalist based in Tblisi, Georgia.

I denne udgave af Politikens weekendpodcast kan du høre to artikler, der begge handler om internettet anno 2024. Men på to meget forskellige måder. Først læser journalist Lucas Arturo Ramsøe Wilkens sin artikel om Facebook op. Internetgiganten forsøger nu at opruste i kampen om de attraktive, unge brugere, som platformen for længst har tabt Dernæst kan du komme med til Tblisi i Georgien op. Her har journalist Søren Korsholm mødt nogle unge blackjackdealere, der sidder i en campingvogn foran et kasino. Hvad det har med internettet at gøre kan du høre, når Søren Korsholm læser sin reportage fra den georgiske hovedstad op. ----------------- Og husk: Artiklerne er bare nogle af de mange artikler, vi læser op, og som kan høres direkte i Politikens podcast-app, så snart de udkommer.

On Georgia's pivotal elections and its post-Soviet history. [Full episode only for patrons] Hans Gutbrod, who has been working in the Caucasus region since 1999 and now teaches at Ilia State University in Tblisi, talks to Alex about Georgia's choice between the EU and Russia. We discuss: Who is Bidzina Ivanishvili, whose wealth is equal to 1/4 of GDP? What is the ruling Georgian Dream's pitch to voters, and how has it turned 'rightward'? Did Georgia witness the end of history, or merely the de-development of the post-Soviet years? How has civil society become dominated by NGOs, and is this a problem? Can Georgia flourish in a multipolar world, acting as an entrepôt between East and West?

Plus: A short piece of music written on a tiny card appears to be a lost work by Frédéric Chopin. And: In Lebanon, displaced people find shelter and support in the country's historic old movie theatres; and with Georgians on the streets of Tblisi a politician who led a team of EU observers tells us about the “democratic backsliding” taking place.

A huge protest movement has taken to the streets in Georgia against the "foreign agent" law. This new legislation would require all organisations that receive foreign funding to declare it on a national register. Protestors have argued that this is the thin end of the wedge amid an increasingly authoritarian climate in the country for human rights advocacy and civil society organisations.  To discuss what this uprising tell us about our changing world, hosts Luke Cooper and Zoe Williams reached out to an old friend of the Another Europe Is Possible campaign, Alex Scrivener, who campaigned with us back in the 2016 EU referendum. Today, he is the Director of the Democratic Security Institute, an organisation based in Tblisi that faces being declared a 'foreign agent' by the Georgian government. On this podcast he discusses the parallels between his activity on the streets of Georgia today, fighting a Putin-backed nationalist campaign, with the 2016 EU referendum in the UK, and what this tells us about the new imperialism engulfing our world. For some background reading from Alex, see his piece on 'hard power' here and his argument for a values-based foreign policy here.   An extended version of this podcast is available to members of Another Europe is Possible. To join and support our work go to anothereurope.org/join. On this podcast's extra time, we change the topic altogether to talk about the UK General Election. 

Thousands of young people have been out protesting in Georgia. But this isn't organised by the opposition or a political party - these demonstrations are being driven by the 20 year olds themselves. It's all because of a “foreign agents” law the government there is trying to bring in. There's a fear that this law will suppress dissent and prevent Georgia from eventually joining the European Union. This law will require non-governmental organisations and media outlets that receive more than 20% of their funding from abroad to register as an "organisation serving the interests of a foreign power". Don't worry, we'll go through it all in the episode.The government says the law aims to increase transparency. Critics refer to it as the “Russian law” because it mirrors similar legislation introduced by Russian President Vladimir Putin in his country.Nutsa Dzandzava (22) and Dato Dolaberidze (23) have been spending their spare time on the streets of Georgia's capital Tblisi. We hear why they're protesting and what they hope to achieve. The BBC's Rayhan Demytrie explains a bit about Georgia's history with Russia - and the details of the controversial law that started the protests.

Georgia's parliament has passed a “foreign agents” bill. Tens of thousands of people have gone out to the streets to protest in the capital city of Tblisi. The bill is modeled after a similar law in Russia. Plus, the Israel-Egypt peace treaty has been a linchpin of stability in the Middle East for the last 45 years. The war in Gaza may be putting that agreement at risk. And, three women from Saudi Arabia are facing political consequences for social media posts. One has fled the country, another is in prison and the third faces a travel ban. And they're sisters. So, what happened to promises of new freedoms for women in the kingdom? Listen to today's Music Heard on Air.We aim to raise $25,000 by June 14. Will you help us reach our goal?

Three news stories summarized & contextualized by analytic journalist Colin Wright.Georgia students walk out, PM passes 'foreign agent' billSummary: Hundreds of university students in the Georgian capital city, Tblisi, walked out of classes in solidarity with the thousands of protestors who have been taking to the streets almost every night for a month in opposition to a bill that will ostensibly allow the government to clamp down on foreign NGOs, while also making eventual accession to the European Union more difficult or impossible; despite that opposition, Georgia's parliament voted the law through yesterday.Context: The governing Georgian Dream party has argued that they need to know who's behind NGOs operating in the country, and that this legislation would give them a better idea of who's funding what, which in turn would help them flag potential interference by Western powers; opponents of this law have argued that it's a clone of a Russian law that allows them to basically label anyone they don't like a foreign operative, which in turn allows the ruling party to jail their political opponents and anyone else who makes trouble for them; the Georgian Dream party has thus been accused to attempting to stall or prevent Georgia's joining the EU in favor of better relations with Russia, while the vast majority of the country supports more alignment with Europe; Georgia's president is expected to veto the law, though parliament can override that veto with another vote.—ReutersOne Sentence News is a reader-supported publication. To support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.US energy panel approves rule to expand transmission of renewable powerSummary: After two years of development, US federal energy regulators approved a rule that's meant to help boost the country's power grid by streamlining aspects of the infrastructure deployment and upgrade progress, while also changing how costs are divvied-out to involved states.Context: This is a big rule—about 1,300 pages long—so there are a lot of specifics and niche situations addressed, but in essence it's meant to simplify existing rules and folkways in the energy infrastructure space that have incentivized energy companies to not expand and invest in new poles, cables, and the like, while also leaving a lot of existing power infrastructure un-upgraded, despite the huge amount of new power generation that's been coming online, and which is scheduled to come online in the next decade; this is generally being seen as a big deal, but there's still ample room for it to be challenged in court, most likely by energy companies that don't want to make these investments or risk losing their regional monopolies, and state legislators who oppose the deployment of new renewable energy power production.—The Associated PressChina to start $138 billion bond sale to boost economySummary: Beginning this Friday, China's government will begin selling 1 trillion yuan, which is about $138 billion US dollars, in long-term bonds as part of an ongoing effort to boost its economy at a tricky moment.Context: China's economy has faced several years of less-than-impressive numbers, in part because of how regional governments have been spending and how much debt they've been taking on, in part because of normal ebbs in productivity and population figures, and in part because of how dependent the economy had become on real estate, an industry that in recent years has suffered from all sorts of collapses and scandals; this debt is ultra-long-term, with more than half of it maturing in 30 years, about a third of it in 20 years, and around a tenth in 50 years, according to a report by Bloomberg, which hasn't been confirmed by the Chinese government; word of this sale has been well received by investors, in part because it's thought the People's Bank of China will loosen regulations on banks alongside this bond sale, and some analysts believe this sale could add as much as a full percent to China's GDP.—BloombergA recent survey by Generation Lab supports the assertion that, though Gaza-related protests at universities around the US have been dominating headlines, Israel's invasion of Gaza is a priority of relatively few students, and the majority are more concerned about healthcare and economic issues.—Axios$1 billionAmount of reelection campaign contributions former President (and now candidate) Trump asked for at a fundraising dinner with top oil executives last month.In exchange, he offered to allow for more oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and in the Alaskan Arctic, to reduce car pollution regulations, and to pause natural gas export permits that have limited oil companies' ability to export as much gas overseas as they would prefer—alongside a general promise to do a complete U-turn on climate-related policies and legislation passed by the Biden administration.—The GuardianTrust Click Get full access to One Sentence News at onesentencenews.substack.com/subscribe

I går (29. april 2024) tok rundt hundre tusen mennesker til gaten i Tblisi grunnet den mye omdiskuterte "agentloven", som var grunnlag for lignende demonstrasjoner i fjor. Demonstrasjonene ble møtt med motdemonstrasjoner, så at det går hett for seg er en grei beskrivelse, og i midten av stormøyet har vi ingen andre enn forfatter og 198 Land-husgjest Erika Fatland. Hva skjer? Hvor ille er det? Hvorfor dekker ikke norsk presse dette mer? Og hva er det Erika har sett som hun aldri kommer til å glemme? Dette skal vi til bunns i med en rykende fersk temaepisode rett fra pressen. Erika Fatland er også gjest i episoden om Øst-Timor, som kommer ut om et par uker hos Podimo, i tillegg til alle de nye landepisodene: https://go.podimo.com/no/198landProdusert av Martin Oftedal, PLAN-B Hosted on Acast.

//The Wire//2100Z April 17, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: CANADIAN PIPELINE EXPLOSION CAUSES WILDFIRE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Canada: A wildfire has spread in Alberta following the explosion of a natural gas pipeline near Edson yesterday morning. Overnight the fire expanded to 10 hectares in size, and is currently being worked by wildland fire crews.Indonesia: A tsunami warning was issued for Tagulandang following the violent eruption of Mount Ruang, a major volcano located in the eastern Celebes Sea. Thousands of locals have been evacuated as the volcanic eruption continues.Georgia: Several thousand protesters gathered in Tblisi to protest a recent collection of laws which critics say allows more crackdown on dissident speech.-HomeFront-USA: Congressional Republicans have announced several new spending bills, all related to foreign aid. So far, Ukraine's bill includes $61 billion, Taiwan's includes $8 billion, and Israel's includes $26 billion.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The cause of the initial pipeline rupture in Canada has not been publicly released, and is currently under investigation. However, due to the sensitive nature of pipeline security incidents, it is very unlikely that any details will be made public as to whether or not a security incident was to blame for the explosion. However, taking into account the very obvious atmospherics that deliberate infrastructure attacks are to be expected at this time of heightened international conflict, it would be prudent to remain situationally aware as more incidents involving critical infrastructure occur.Analyst: S2A1//END REPORT//

Technically, FTP is on a production break, but we don't want you, our loyal listener, to go without great footy travel content, so we're bringing you episodes of other footy, travel, or footy-travel podcasts we think you'll enjoy. And we're starting with something very special…  …the entire 1st season of Counterspective. Counterspective is another Fyper Media podcast, and Season 1 was the precursor to the Footy Travelers Podcast. It was released in the summer of 2019, a year after Mike and Colin's third World Cup: Russia 2018. As you'll quickly learn, it goes well-beyond the in-stadium experiences they had, beyond the footy - although one of the episodes is focused on that topic specifically - and it dives deep into the details and nuances of traveling in a country most of us wouldn't dare to visit at the present moment. As the now monikered Footy Travelers met new people, tried new food, and tested their really poor Russian language skills, they explored Ruski culture through that footy travelers lens. This is Episode 4: Georgia on My...Plate?

Sólo dos equipos de la Unión Soviética ganaron un título europeo, y ninguno fue ruso. El más sorprendente, sin duda, fue el Dinamo Tbilisi georgiano, que protagonizó una de las finales más olvidadas de la historia: la que disputó en Düsseldorf contra el Carl Zeiss Jena de la Alemania Oriental. Aquel equipo contaba con futbolistas de gran talento cuyos nombres prácticamente no trascendieron al gran público de la Europa Occidental. Uno de ellos, Vitaly Daraselia, se convirtió en un icono tras fallecer en un accidente de coche sólo un año y medio después de anotar el gol de la victoria en la final de la Recopa.

Tblisi is a city you should visit at least once in your life! Here's what I've been up to the past week.

Zviad Gamsakhurdia was a Georgian nationalist leader who served as his country's first independent President from 1991 until 1992. Under him, Georgia became a hellish place, ripped apart by civil war, organised crime and militia violence. Sadly, Gamsakhurdia cannot be acquitted in all of this as a placeholder- his commitment to an ethnically homogenous Georgia, in a part of the world anything but, was always going to lead to problems. Gamsakhurdia's own life ended in a Tblisi bunker in 1993, probably by suicide, and is a rather sordid reflection of how Georgia's own utopian dream for its future died on its feet in the early 1990s. Listening to my guest today, Gamsakhurdia reminded me of two former subjects on this podcast, the Welsh nationalist leader Saunders Lewis, and the Serb dictator Slobodan Milosevic, both of whom also had a no-holds-barred and blunt approach to nationalism. Thankfully, the country has taken a different and cannier path to self-government since, and is a relative success story among the post-Soviet states. My guest for this conversation today is Tom de Waal. Tom is a senior fellow with Carnegie Europe, and is one of the leading authorities on the Caucasus region. I would highly recommend is book The Caucasus: An Introduction, to anyone looking to read up on this amazing and enigmatic part of our continent. As well as Gamsakhurdia's life, Tom and I discussed the bizarre interplay between Stalinism and Georgian nationalism, Georgia's place in Europe, and how a country and a region so far away from the capitals of diplomacy has forged relations with the great World powers.
