Apologies for not posting for a week or so. I've been battling the "enemy within" - chronic pain and illness. I won't bore you with a sob story, just that it's been a real bugger! Plus I didn't fancy seeing the "enemy without" i.e.Trump's face and all his associated insanity at the same time.

Random Fact
The mortar (for part) of the Great Wall of China is a mix of sticky rice soup & slacked lime.
This was implemented during the Ming dynasty and proved to be stronger and more water & plant resistant than lime mortar without Sticky rice soup.

Tension rises in #Batumi as protesters rally after a night of arrests. Elena Khoshtaria of Droa placed a “Georgia is Going on Strike” poster on a police car, the same posters that sparked the arrests last night.

If you haven’t read George Orwell's 1945 satirical novella Animal Farm, you really should. It’s a great allegory for what’s happening today in America.

#Tbilisi: One of the judges attending the judicial clan party was met with public outrage as he attempted to leave. He was egged. Over 15 people have been unlawfully remanded in custody over the New Years period, with over 500 unlawfully arrested in December, over 300 severely beaten/tortured

Watch as the police brutally arrest young female activist Nutsa Makharadze, who lost consciousness during the process. The regime is determined to defend the judicial clan’s feast, including those sanctioned by the US. They are the biggest enforcers of the repressive system.

In Tbilisi, Georgia protestors surrounded corrupt judges and pro-Russia collaborators when they tried to have a fancy state sponsored banquet.
The corrupt judges were forced to flee while being pelted by eggs. Reports indicate staff also spit in their food. #GeorgiaProtests

Lawyers at the Tbilisi City Court, where the criminal case of 11 protesters is being heard, report a violation of the right to a fair trial. They state that prosecutors & the judge are collectively deciding whether they should remain in custody, instead of reviewing cases individually.
