Send us a textThe Mad Centrist - The political podcast for the rest of us.The MAD Centrist – named after the Kurt Vonnegut quote from The Monkey House, “A sane person to an insane society must appear insane.”The most important Podcast I have ever done. The small eastern European nation of Georgia is struggling, and the world seems to not even know it is happening.  Hundreds of thousands of Georgia's citizens are protesting a government more interested in representing their aggressive neighbor Russia than representing their own citizens.Add to that Russia invading and illegally occupying 2 large districts within Georgia's borders since 2008, and throw in kidnappings and a slow border creep, and you have a story the World needs to hear loud and clear.  The world cannot keep ignoring Georgia.  The world cannot keep appeasing an aggressive Russian nation.In this episode hear from a citizen of Georgia who is currently one of the many citizens protesting in the streets as he describes what Russia is putting his nation through with both direct kinetic action as well as high level influence campaigns.You cannot unhear this episode.Resources:Georgia’s amazing Rose Revolution!The Politico article I mentioned, very well done.I mentioned, and have included, Dr. Condoleezza Rice’s OpEd.I also brought up the ‘Reset’ document on the archive Whitehouse.gov, so here it is.Protests in Georgia and the violenceOh, and I did the work for you: a Google search for pictures of the Georgia protests.The political podcast for everyone!
