**Georgian PM Exposes “Deep State” Propaganda in Social Media Post**
In a recent social media post, Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze of Georgia has spoken out against what he calls the “deep state” propaganda tactics used to discredit his government and its supporters. The post, which appears on Kobakhidze’s official social media account, highlights the use of such tactics in various countries, including the United States.
According to Kobakhidze, President Trump personally thanked Tulsi Gabbard, a former US Congresswoman and current head of national security, for exposing the “deep state” and providing evidence that accusations of Russian interference in U.S. elections against Donald Trump were fabricated by Barack Obama. Kobakhidze claims that this is just one example of how the “deep state” uses propaganda to discredit its opponents.
**A Well-Tested Tactic**
Kobakhidze states that labeling opponents as pro-Russian is a well-tested tactic used by the “deep state.” He cites several examples from around Europe, including France and Romania, where opposition leaders were labeled as pro-Russian without any evidence presented. In each of these cases, Kobakhidze argues that the real motive was to discredit and sideline political opponents.
**A Similar Campaign in Georgia**
The Prime Minister also points out that a similar campaign is underway in Georgia. He claims that the “deep state” involves both local radical opposition groups and NGOs, as well as foreign patrons, including European bureaucracy. Kobakhidze argues that this campaign aims to discredit his government and its supporters by labeling them as pro-Russian.
**No Evidence, Just Propaganda**
Kobakhidze emphasizes that despite years of accusations about Bidzina Ivanishvili’s alleged pro-Russian stance and Russian ties, no shred of evidence has been presented. He describes this as “Goebbels-style propaganda methods,” where an enemy image is created first, and then connections are attributed to it in order to discredit opponents.
**A Warning to the Public**
In his conclusion, Kobakhidze thanks Tulsi Gabbard for exposing the “deep state” and warns the public to be aware of these tactics. He emphasizes that a society armed with truth is the greatest guarantee of a state’s strength. The full post can be read on social media.
