OSCE, Magdalena Frichova, LAWRENCE Sheets, and the armitage international crisis group

It was amusing to recently read about these photos from the Georgian conflict which apparently were obvious fakes to everyone, except perhaps to the editors at REUTERS, once reviled for its acceptance of British government subsidies during the cold war. It makes one wonder if more gifted fabricators have passed off fakes as reality, calling into question whether not just images and videos are real, but whether also text descriptions really describe what is happening on the ground—in other words fake news, fake contemporary history. In a parallel manner, REUTERS skewed coverage in Armenia during the elections there, an Armenian observer complained

“Mr. Sheets's 18 reports from Yerevan, between March 12 and March 31, clearly indicate a consistent pattern of bias and suspicious personal agenda in four areas: 1) unequal description of the two front-runners; 2) exclusion of non-OSCE observer statements and evaluations; 3) patronizing attitude toward Armenia; 4) excessive use of unnamed Sources.” An Analysis of 18 reports by Lawrence Sheets from Yerevan by Hratch Tchilingirian

Mr. Sheets, a graduate in International Relations and Russian Studies, much like Condoleezza Rice, managed to turn this distinguished reporting for the Brits in Armenia and Georgia, into a job with NPR, the American Public Radio channel, “brought to you by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation”. Apparently using his contacts at OSCE , NPR’s Sheets was able to predict that the crazy Commie Russians would try to annex parts of Georgia:

“Relations between Russia and the former Soviet Republic of Georgia have reached dangerous new lows. Georgian officials suspect that Russia wants to annex two areas of their republic. Observers say a worst-case scenario would involve a direct war between Russia and Georgia over the territory . ” Territorial Tensions Build Between Russia and Georgia by Lawrence Sheets

We don’t know who Sheets was talking to in A OSCE Armenia or if had talked to any OSCE people in Georgia, but there was a prominent ex- OSCE person in Georgia that had high level contact with the OSCE high commissioner.

“Magdalena has worked in the Caucasus region since 1999, focusing mainly on the Georgian-Abkhaz and Georgian-Ossetian conflicts. Most recently, she held the post of political officer with the Mission to Georgia of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). She had also worked for the OSCE High Commissioner”

Bio , International Crisis Group.

So Sheets had worked with OSCE people in preparing his allegedly biased reports for REUTERS, and in Georgia, the project leader for the “humanitarian “ International Crisis Group had worked for the high commissioner of OSCE, who was then most likely Max van der Stoel, the former Secretary of State equivalent for the Royal Dutch Shell government of the Netherlands. He had played an important role in the resolution of the NATO war against the Russian ally Serbia, and had helped remove the former Soviet Baltic states from the Russian sphere of influence, despite the large numbers of ethic Russians living in those republics. The International Crisis Group Georgian project leader was so apparently close to NATO high officials that she actually attended a NATO planning conference sponsored by the Heinrich Boll foundation. To speak on the topic of:

NATO absorption of Georgia. Yet she is ostensibly leaving International Crisis Group for another “independent” organization no doubt, but will be replaced with another friend of the OSCE, Lawrence Sheets, just in time to sound almost exactly like his boss, (Sir) Richard Armitage, director of ICG: and of the oil giant Conoco-Phillips.

“T he urgent need is to implement fully the 15-16 August ceasefire, and most significantly, to ensure that Russian troops return immediately to pre-7 August positions. “Western states must press Moscow to accept the common understanding of the loosely-worded ceasefire, and not try to use loopholes to retain a de facto occupation of parts of Georgia”, said Crisis Group Caucasus Project Director, Lawrence Sheets” published on the Reuters website , Russia vs Georgia: The Fallout 22 Aug 2008 21:50:32 GMT.

So the anti-Armenian OSCE sourced REUTERS Soviet studies reporter becomes a liberal anti-Russian reporter at NPR, and from there replaces his possible source NATO planning ex- OSCE anti-Russian Chechen And then his former employer, REUTERS, publishes his diatribe against Russia on their website.

But there’s one big problem that International Crisis Group has in hiring OSCE linked humanitarians. OSCE is an intelligence organization working for NATO; according to more than one sovereign government not including Russia:

“It was obviously not Wm Walker who pulled the strings on this operation," said one of the 1,400 verification monitors who wished to remain anonymous. "Nor was it the European diplomats who headed the different departments. It was 'The Fusion', a section in the headquarters of the OSCE in Pristina. It was under the direction of British general John Drewienkiewicz, one of the vice directors of the mission. Officially, he was in charge of co-ordinating security. In reality, no one knew with any certainty what his responsibilities were. (. . .) Little by little we came to understand that this was a center for the co-ordination of information going into the hands of American and British military personnel” [OSCE is MI6 ?].

So If Lawrence Sheets can follow in the footsteps of Magdalena , both of whom no doubt get their orders from headquarters in London, we might be able to start another cold war with Russia which would certainly hobble its energy might, while at the same time, like Iraq, further indebt the American people, to preserve oil security for the EU.

Sheets should get a knighthood for that one.
