Georgia’s Parliament Presses Forward With ‘Foreign Agent’ Bill Despite Protests
Outside parliament on Monday, protesters chanted slogans against what they called “the Russian law”, and shouted “Russians! Russians!” at police and ruling party MPs.
Inside the chamber, opposition MP Aleko Elisashvili was shown on television punching Mamuka Mdinaradze, faction leader of Georgian Dream, as he spoke from the despatch box.
Protesters against the bill told Reuters that they saw Georgia’s future membership of the EU, which is overwhelmingly popular in the country of 3.7 million, as being on the line.
“I don’t like that the government is trying to suppress NGOs and put some labels on them as if they are foreign agents,” said Luka Tsulaia, a 32-year-old computer programmer.
“It’s about maintaining independence and also maintaining the laws so that we can integrate with the European Union better.”

Interview with Levan Ioseliani (archived)
Levan Ioseliani represents the Civil Movement, an NGO established by himself and Alexander (Aleko) Elisashvili.
…
After Aleko’s results, we held meetings in Brussels, where EED [European Endowment For Democracy] took an interest in financing a movement that would advocate civil ideas and would help new people get involved in the politics. Our second donor is NED [National Endowment for Democracy]. We established the Civil Movement with Alexander Elisashvili.
This won’t be the end of it. Elections are coming up in October.

How Hershey’s Made Its First Vegan Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Chocolate Bars
The Hershey Company gets into dairy-free chocolate in a big way with the nationwide launch of Reese’s Plant-Based and Hershey’s Plant-Based Extra Creamy with Almonds and Sea Salt.
How Hershey’s Made Its First Vegan Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Chocolate Bars
I tried one of these earlier. It’s too much chocolate for me. I’ve noticed that there’s Reese’s Plant-Based Miniature Peanut Butter Cups but haven’t seen them at the local Walmart. It’s probably for the best, as they’re around the same calories as the regular ones.
More on Chaos Theory
In a world where chaos theory reigns, the public cannot be allowed to focus too much attention on one problem, as it might be able to figure out a way to solve it or who the real guilty parties are.

U.S. Helps Pro-Ukraine Media Run a Fog Machine of War
As Congress debates major new funding to support the Ukrainian war effort, U.S. taxpayer dollars are already flowing to outlets such as the New Voice of Ukraine, VoxUkraine, Detector Media, the Institute of Mass Information, the Public Broadcasting Company of Ukraine and many others. Some of this money has come from the $44.1 billion in civilian-needs foreign aid committed to Ukraine. While the funding is officially billed as an ambitious program to develop high-quality independent news programs; counter malign Russian influence; and modernize Ukraine’s archaic media laws, the new sites in many cases have promoted aggressive messages that stray from traditional journalistic practices to promote the Ukrainian government’s official positions and delegitimize its critics.
