Ruling party official claims deep state undergoing “systematic modernisation” with new covert tactics

Mamuka Mdinaradze, the Executive Secretary of the ruling Georgian Dream party, on Monday claimed the rebranding of the deep state was taking place, which he described as “the systematic modernisation of this global and dangerous force, replacing old, worn-out, and already known methods with new, covert methods”.

In his social media message, Mdinaradze noted that whereas until now the Global War Party had been funding the overthrow of national governments beyond their control, mainly through USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), this mission has now been taken on by the puppet “governments” of specific countries.

“Recently, a number of EU member states have been expressing particular aggression towards Georgia and the country's legitimately elected Government. Notably, the Baltic and Scandinavian countries stand out with their particularly harsh and misleading rhetoric. These countries are blatantly interfering in Georgia’s internal affairs, encouraging radicalism, openly supporting artificial protests, and seeking to fuel processes aimed at toppling the Georgian Government, replacing it with their agent network, and establishing complete control over the Government”, the ruling party official said.

“However, it is important to clarify once again that there is no Lithuanian, Estonian or Swedish government. There is no Ministry of Foreign Affairs or any separate agency of these countries. These countries have been stripped of their sovereignty. Formal officials [of these countries] act not in the interests of their country, but at the behest of the Global War Party, the deep state. That is why the attack on Georgia by these countries should be considered not as an action of any country, but as a direct attempt by the deep state to change the Government in Georgia”, he continued.

He emphasised that the ongoing global processes confirmed the modernisation of the deep state, where previous funding mechanisms, such as USAID and NED, had been replaced by individual countries, including Sweden, Norway, Estonia, and other EU states that had lost their sovereignty.

“Since USAID, NED, and other deep state-controlled donor organisations have been closed, their functions have been transferred to the so-called national governments that remain under the same control. Consequently, after the rebranding and modernisation of the deep state, we should not be surprised by increasing attacks on Georgia and its Government, intensified interference in the country’s internal affairs, and persistent efforts to replace the national Government with an agent network”, he continued.

Mdinaradze also claimed that the deep state severely impacted the European Union, its economy, and its member states.

“The public sees clearly what the deep state has done to the European Union, its economy and countries. The public also sees clearly, and the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirms, that global powers have waged a proxy war against Russia through Ukraine. The end result has been a weakened Europe and a destroyed Ukraine”, Mdinaradze noted.

The official further added that Russia had also faced numerous challenges due to this strategy, leading to its significant weakening.

“Since Georgia’s Government has refused to participate in this pre-scripted, self-destructive scenario, the deep state will use all means to replace the “defiant” Government in Georgia, install its agents in power, and, if opening a second front is no longer necessary, economically destroy the country - just as it has done to EU member states”, he claimed.

Mdinaradze stressed that the deep state was not weakening, instead, it was undergoing modernisation, employing new, covert, and previously unseen methods to achieve its goals.

“We once again wholeheartedly wish President Trump success in his fight against the deep state. Unfortunately, there are still no signs of its defeat or even weakening”, he pointed out.

The official also added that the coming period would reveal whether this struggle was genuine or just another strategic rebranding of hidden agendas.

“Furthermore, Georgia will serve as a key example - America’s approach to our country and the nature of its future cooperation will reveal whether the deep state has been defeated in the United States or not”, Mdinaradze concluded.
