More on Kazakhstan...The Russian foreign affairs spokes woman had a very pointed response to SOS Blinken's recent comments about Russia's foray into Kazakhstan. I can only say, Blinken asked for such a response. It's however unfortunate that diplomatic language has turned into trash reality t.v. type of spectacle.
“In politics, nothing happens by accident,” former U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt once remarked on the question of coincidences in political life. “If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.”
“I find it interesting that the unrest seemed somewhat coordinated across the country occurring during the ORTHODOX CHRISTMAS period [fell on 07 January 2022] and just before the U.S.-Russia security dialogue,” Executive Vice President of Eurasia Group Earl Rasmussen told Sputnik. “Coincidence? One needs to wonder,” he added.
Another oddity worth mentioning is that the U.S. Embassy in Nur-Sultan just happened to issue a ‘demonstration alert’ for several Kazakh cities on Saturday, December 16, 2021, more than two weeks before the real fireworks began in earnest. Yes, probably just more coincidence theory, but such diplomatic ‘warnings’ have come under criticism before, notably by Moscow; under the pretense of providing travel warnings to U.S. citizens, these social media messages arguably serve to promote anti-government events more than anything.
Meanwhile, any discussion on the possibility of a foreign-hatched Color Revolution would not be complete without mentioning the premier financier, philanthropist and regime-change artist himself, GEORGE SOROS; the SOROS FOUNDATION has a hand so deep in Kazakhstan’s pockets it almost reaches Almaty’s ankles. Perusing the list of activities and institutions by this one foundation (incidentally, the International Center for Not-for-Profit Law estimates there are some 38,000 NGOs operating in Kazakhstan, with much of their funding coming from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), Freedom House, and others), leaves one struggling to understand how any country could tolerate this level of influence from a ‘foreign agent,’ who has already been politely shown the door in a number of countries, including Uzbekistan, Belarus and Russia.
The SOROS FOUNDATION, which opened its doors in Kazakhstan back in 1995, has a heavy footprint in all areas of Kazakh life –- from art, to education, to the world of media and politics; all bases are covered. Such a profound influence has not gone unnoticed by political observers.
I look forward Kazakhstan to take care this mad max sprouting NGOs... should learn from Russia or China... and unless the gov put them in check the country will live in perilous state constantly. I think this crazy situation happened under Nursultan Nazarbayev and his clique!
