🇬🇪 Georgia awaits USAID's explanations on funds for training in organizing unrest, Georgian parliamentary speaker Shalva Papuashvili said
Earlier in the day, the State Security Service of Georgia (SSSG) said on social media that three Serbian citizens from the Center for Applied Nonviolent Action and Strategies (CANVAS), allegedly funded by USAID, arrived at the end of September in Georgia to teach tactics for overthrowing the government to young people and members of influential non-governmental organizations.
According to the SSSG, the coup was planned for October-December, just when the European Commission is set to publish its decision on Georgia’s EU membership application.

🇺🇸 US seemingly more worried about Ukraine's corruption than publicly admits
A high-level corruption could undermine confidence of the Ukrainian public and foreign leaders in the government in Kiev, the report said.
The confidential version of the document, named “Integrated Country Strategy,” is about three times longer than its public version and contains many additional details related to the US goals in Ukraine, the report noted. That includes privatizing Ukrainian banks, encouraging the military to adopt NATO norms, and supporting local schools in teaching the English language.
The strategy also stresses that the Ukrainian government can not delay its anti-graft policies because the current situation could cause concern from allies in the West.

The Albanese government is trying to blame its falling poll numbers and growing opposition to the Voice referendum on supposed ‘Russian interference’ and ‘misinformation.’ This claim is desperate nonsense, say Sputnik contributor Simeon Boikov (@AussieCossack) and Chris Fairbank, Victorian RSL sub branch vice president.
According to Mr. Fairbank, veterans around Australia are outraged at the failure of Cooma Police to lay charges over a shocking video that appears to depict a group of Vote Yes campaigners led by Professor Denise Ferris assaulting a local father of four by spitting in his face and punching him.

🗣 On internet censorship in the UK and the proposed laws to ensure 'online safety':
“It's absolutely not about online safety. This is totalitarian, fascist government censorship and surveillance of online activity. They're targeting anyone who dissents against, this is who it's aimed at, anyone who criticizes the government. But there's a lot to criticize so the government is getting worried about the number of people that are criticizing government policies from the Ukraine war… It's a real descent into totalitarianism. How in the UK you can call itself a democracy or a free country is beyond me because it's not,” Ian Shilling, geopolitical analyst, researcher, and blogger, told Sputnik.

New York civil fraud trial part of US government ‘election interference’ effort, former President Donald Trump said
🗣 "The crime is against me, because we have a corrupt District Attorney, a corrupt Attorney General, and it all comes down from the DOJ [Department of Justice], they’re totally coordinated," Trump said during remarks outside the courtroom. "This has to do with election interference, it’s plain and simple."
Trump appeared at a courthouse in New York for the first day of the civil trial against him. New York Attorney General Letitia James accuses Trump of committing fraud by inflating asset values. The trial will be overseen by New York Judge Arthur Engoron, whom Trump also criticized.
