南高加索小国格鲁吉亚议会三读通过了一项名为《外国影响力透明法》的法案。    Pyongyang's assumptions with regard to Washington's potential role in the COVID-19 pandemic apparently stem from a bombshell report by professors Jeffrey D Sachs and Neil L Harrison, published in May 2022 by peer-reviewed multidisciplinary scientific journal, The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS).,"Prof Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University had spent two years as chairman of the Lancet Commission on COVID and recently published a major paper in the prestigious PNAS journal arguing that the virus was very likely artificial, also calling for an independent inquiry into its possible American origins, but virtually all western media outlets ignored his dramatic reversal," says Ron Unz, an American technology entrepreneur, political activist, writer and the publisher of the Unz Review.,On 27 May, Sachs and Harrison released an op-ed for Project Syndicate, arguing that US authorities suppressed inquiries into the role US scientific research institutions may have played in creating the conditions of the COVID pandemic. "Yet if the coronavirus did indeed come from a lab, US culpability is almost certain," the professors insisted, calling for independent probes "not only into the outbreak in Wuhan, China, but also into the relevant US scientific research, international outreach, and technology licensing in the lead-up to the pandemic.",According to Sachs and Harrison, "the full story of the outbreak could involve America’s role in researching coronaviruses and in sharing its biotechnology with others around the world." The professors pointed out that "US scientists who work with SARS-like coronaviruses regularly create and test dangerous novel variants" to develop drugs and vaccines against them. These experiments, also known as "gain-of-function" research, have been conducted for decades prompting concerns that one day they could lead to an accidental outbreak or end up in the wrong hands, the scholars highlighted.,"In June, [Sachs] went even further in his public statements at a Spanish think-tank, describing the COVID virus as probably having an American origin," notes Unz. "In my opinion, Prof Sachs is merely stating what many senior figures in the West quietly believe or suspect but have been unwilling to mention publicly.",Situation in UkraineUS Has Helped Support 46 Biological Labs in Ukraine Over Last Two Decades, Pentagon Says9 June, 17:19 GMT,An Accidental Leak or a Warfare Tool?,America's experiments with viruses and dangerous pathogens have triggered concerns in Russia and China over the past few years. On 13 May 2020, Russia's Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergei Lavrov drew attention to a "dense network" of US biolabs located "along the perimeter of the Russian Federation and near Chinese borders".,Earlier this year, Beijing urged Washington to disclose the information about the activities of at least 360 biolabs in the world, presumably run by the US.,Since 2001, Russia, China, and many other countries have advocated the creation of a verification mechanism within the framework of the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and on their Destruction to ensure biosafety across the world. Nonetheless, the US was "about the only country" which has categorically opposed this proposal for roughly 20 years, Lavrov revealed in 2020.,"Over the past 70 years, America has invested an estimated $100Bln in developing the world's largest and longest-standing biowarfare program," says Unz.,Situation in UkraineWhat's Behind Washington's Denial of Biowarfare Weapons Programme in Ukraine?12 March, 15:50 GMT,The American publisher suggested that the US could be responsible for the COVID outbreak long before Sachs and Harrison did. Furthermore, Unz does not rule out that the pathogen was used as a deliberate biowarfare tool against China and, possibly, Iran by "elements of [the US] national security establishment, though without the direct knowledge or authorization of President Donald Trump.",There are a lot of unknowns about the mysterious pandemic which is believed to have come from the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, China. For instance, neither a COVID-19 "patient zero" nor a "guilty bat" have been found, which means that SARS-CoV-2 may actually have been circulating among humans some time before the late 2019 Wuhan outbreak, according to CBS News.,In April 2020, ABC News broke the story that a special medical intelligence unit within the US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) in the second week of November 2019 produced a classified report warning about an "out-of-control disease epidemic" in the Wuhan area of China. It urged the US to protect its forces in Asia. Although a Pentagon spokesman officially denied the existence of that November report, Israel's broadcaster Channel 12 said the US had also shared the document in question with NATO and Israeli Defense Force (IDF).,It appears suspicious, according to Unz, that the DIA rushed to dub the mysterious disease an "epidemic" at a time when just a couple of dozen individuals were infected in Wuhan.,"It therefore appears that elements of the Defense Intelligence Agency were aware of the deadly viral outbreak in Wuhan more than a month before any officials in the Chinese government itself," Unz points out. "Furthermore, the New York Times and CNN have also promoted a major new research study just published in Science that found the first Wuhan infection probably occurred on 18 November 2019. This was after the secret DIA report had already been produced, but the American media has completely ignored the implications of this striking discrepancy.",Yet another strange coincidence was Donald Trump's appointment of Robert Kadlec as the top official for dealing with biological threats in 2017, the American writer says. Since the Nineties, Kadlec had been one of America’s leading biowarfare advocates.,"From January to August 2019, Kadlec’s department ran the 'Crimson Contagion' simulation exercise, involving the hypothetical outbreak of a dangerous respiratory viral disease in China, which eventually spreads to the United States, with the participants focusing on the necessary measures to control it in this country," Unz says, adding that before that China had suffered two inexplicable viral epidemics which hit its poultry and pork industry in 2018 and 2019, respectively.,Situation in UkraineUkraine Labs: Bioweapons Can be Used as Tool in US Low-Level War Against Russia, ex-DoD Analyst Says15 April, 12:51 GMT,History of Pentagon's Bio-warfare,Although the Pentagon's alleged responsibility for the COVID outbreak has yet to be examined and backed by solid evidence, one must admit that Washington is no novice where biological warfare is concerened.,The US was accused of using germ weapons against Korea during the Korean War (1950-1953) and China based on the testimony of at least 38 US military pilots.,In August 2021, Xinhua quoted witnesses and historians describing how the Pentagon used germ bombs in civilian areas in China and Korea to spread dozens of species of poisonous insects and germs.,And Havana leveled accusations against the Pentagon over the dengue epidemic in Cuba that contaminated 345,000 people in 1981 and an artificial outbreak of African swine fever (ASF) that led to the slaughter of 500,000 animals and inflicted considerable economic damage on the island nation in 1971. The US Department of Defense denied the allegations.,"Over the years highly regarded and fully mainstream American journalists and academics have published books and articles documenting America's extensive use of biowarfare during the Korean War and later as anti-food supply attacks against Cuba, East Germany, and other countries," notes Unz.,Recently, Russia's Ministry of Defense has revisited cases pertaining to the US history of biological warfare, while examining a trove of highly sensitive documents shedding light on the Pentagon's experiments with highly contagious pathogens in Ukraine. According to the MoD, the Pentagon's Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) division ran a network of biological labs in Ukraine with the aim of inflicting damage on Russia's people and economy.,"I'm certainly aware of the Russian Ministry of Defense public claims regarding the Pentagon's involvement in Ukrainian biolabs, and the preparation of possible biowarfare attacks against Russia," says Unz. "I don't have any special knowledge of this issue, but the apparent public admission by [Undersecretary of State] Victoria Nuland at a US Senate hearing convinced me that there was a high likelihood that these Russian accusations were correct.",Unz argues that "American military plans for biowarfare attacks against Russia dramatically increase the likelihood that similar measures had been prepared against China and Iran, and perhaps actually carried out by rogue elements of the Trump Administration." Although US secretive biological programs and the Pentagon's overseas biowarfare labs have been triggering further suspicions, the topic still remains largely neglected and suppressed by western mainstream media.。

能通过这份法案可不容易，自从去年2月份首次被提交到议会开始，格鲁吉亚境内就出现了大规模的暴动抗议活动，甚至出现了再次爆发颜色革命的风险。

有意思的事，当格鲁吉亚议会通过该法案之后，美国“急了”，直接回应称：“如果格鲁吉亚总统不否决这份过分的法案，美国将会从根本上重新考虑和格鲁吉亚的关系……”

明明是格鲁吉亚的内政，美国人为什么这么急切的蹦出来，甚至不惜进行威胁呢？

《外国影响力透明法》规定，格鲁吉亚境内有20％的收入是来自境外的组织，必须要专门进行登记，方便管理。

二 | 如果不登记的话，会处以10000美元的罚款。

很明显，不管从哪个方面看，这都是一个再正常不过的法案，有利于国家政权的稳定。

毕竟，美西方搞出来的那些NGO组织绝大多数都是带有政治目的的，可以说是颜色革命的幕后重要推手。

就连一直宣称“捍卫言论自由”的美国自己，也早在1938年就出台了《外国代理人登记法》（Foreign Agents Registration Act）。而且美国人毫不讳言的说了，出台这个法案就是为了“坚决防止国外势力渗透美国，并监督外国公司和组织在美国从事和政治有关的活动。”

然而，美国人自己能出台这个法案，却坚决反对别的国家出台这个法案。别问，问就是“言论自由”。

格鲁吉亚出台“外国代理人”法案是有十分确切的理由的。

自从格鲁吉亚从苏联独立这30多年来，一直积极的向美西方靠拢，导致该国被西方渗透的厉害。

尤其是2003年格鲁吉亚爆发的“玫瑰革命”，美西方渗透进来的NGO组织是从中出了大力的。

而颜色革命之后很长时间，格鲁吉亚都没有亲俄派。

三 | 新上台的总统在5年之后主动挑起了俄格战争，虽然格鲁吉亚输了，但美国和欧洲赢了，格鲁吉亚自此变成了最为反俄的国家之一。

现在的格鲁吉亚执政党是“格鲁吉亚梦想—民主格鲁吉亚”党，它在去年的时候就推出过这个法案。

孰料，法案刚刚一读通过，格鲁吉亚立马就爆发了大规模的抗议。

抗议理由十分的无厘头：“这是一份‘俄罗斯法案’！”

被美西方控制的格鲁吉亚反对派很明显根本不会让这种法案通过的，于是他们就开始煽动民众上街，说2012年俄罗斯就出台了“外国代理人”法案，执政党出台同样的法案，是要全面投靠俄罗斯，放弃融入欧洲！

现任格鲁吉亚总统祖拉比什维利自小就在法国长大，甚至曾是法国驻格鲁吉亚大使，自然是亲西方的。

四 |

她不但公开反对这份法案，说“如果通过这份法案我们将无法融入欧洲”，还放言：“只有莫斯科的独裁政权才会通过这种法案。”

这是全然不把美国、英国、澳大利亚等早就通过类似法案的国家放在眼里。

在巨大的压力下，格鲁吉亚议会认怂，撤回了相关法案。

如今一年时间过去，“格鲁吉亚梦想—民主格鲁吉亚”党在4月初又一次向议会提交了这一法案。相较于去年那一份法案，只是把文中“外国影响代理人”改成了更为直接的“为外国势力利益效力的组织”。

相当于直接摊牌了：“我知道这些玩意就是为美西方服务的，我就是要限制它们。”

不出意外的，不甘心受限制的NGO组织又联合格鲁吉亚反对派，煽动民众上街抗议了。

只是他们没想到，这一次格鲁吉亚议会的态度空前的强硬，硬是顶着再次爆发颜色革命的风险，三读通过法案，就等着总统签字了。

根据美西方的强盗逻辑，我可以随便渗透你，甚至发动颜色革命，但你不能渗透我。如果你不同意，就是“造反”。

据法新社报道，美国白宫新闻秘书卡里娜·让－皮埃尔在新闻发布会上直截了当的对格鲁吉亚进行了威胁：

“我们对格鲁吉亚‘克里姆林宫式’的外国代理人立法深感不安。如果这项立法最终获得通过，将迫使我们从根本上重新评估我们与格鲁吉亚的关系。”

格鲁吉亚一个南高加索国家，美国山高皇帝远，就算它真出事了也鞭长莫及，既然要表态，也应该是欧盟表态啊，为什么是美国自己跳出来表态呢？

据塔斯社报道，格鲁吉亚议会二读通过法案的时候，冯德莱恩就第一时间跳了出来，说“严重关切”：

“我严重关切格鲁吉亚局势，并谴责第比利斯街头的暴力活动。鲁吉亚人民希望自己的国家在未来加入欧盟。格鲁吉亚正处于十字路口。

六 | 它应该继续走在通往欧洲的道路上。”

意思就是，你要是想“脱亚入欧”，成为欧盟这个“相亲相爱大家庭”的一员，就必须乖乖的接受美国的渗透，否则就别想了。

谁曾想，格鲁吉亚这么“头铁”，哪怕是加入不了欧盟，哪怕是可能爆发颜色革命被推翻，也要国家独立自主。

不管格鲁吉亚的这个法案最终能不能通过，现政府会不会因为颜色革命倒台，他们这份追求国家独立，不受外国摆布的决心，还是值得我们尊重的。
