The opposition in Georgia has condemned a fake television report about the invasion of the former Soviet Republic by forces from neighbouring Russia. Georgia President Mikheil Saakhasvili has defended the report, following widespread panic caused by the broadcast.

Russian warplanes were seen flying over the country in a fake news report aired nationwide late Saturday by Georgia’s commercial Imedi television network.

A nervous looking presenter said Georgia had been invaded by Russian troops and that Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili was among those killed. But Imedi was showing old footage about the brief war between Georgia and Russia in 2008 over the breakaway region of South Ossetia.

Viewers had been cautioned the report was fake, but many apparently did not see that warning.

Soon panic broke out with people seen running in the streets of the capital Tbilisi, where the network said Russian tanks had arrived.

Local media reported a record number of calls to emergency services and several incidents of heart attacks and fainting among shocked viewers, but officials said no deaths had been reported.

WTF?

    This is a prime example of the irresponsible behavior of the Georgian government. Didn’t they think that this would cause a major panic? People died of panic because of this stupidity and the Georgian government’s news cast killed them with their fake war newscast. What if this triggered actual fighting. There are Russian people living in Georgia and this could have ended up with their deaths due to mob rule. The US news does not report the idiotic behavior of the Georgian government on their news channels. On the contrary, they have tried to make them look like heroes when it is clear they are liars.

    THIS IS A TEST..THIS ONLY A TEST….

    THIS IS A TEST OF THE EMERGENCY CIA FALSE FLAG SYSTEM.

    HAD THIS BEEN A REAL EMERGENCY, WE WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT -AND THAT TOO, WOULD HAVE BEEN TOTAL BULLSHIT AS WELL.

    -THIS IS ONLY A TEST…-

    —-
    (this is the cia probing the “response mechanism” of the people and the surrounding areas, to see what kind of response or mindset to expect for the up coming big event) (or looking another way, this is simple pre-conditioning the people so they will be more pliable under “real conditions”) (-um, remember..it turned out the CIA & Co. was behind the 08/08/08 South Ossetia conflict?) (we/Georgia fired the first shot, -they found a dead “Special-Op Guy” that belonged to us..Russia actually waited almost 24hrs before responding, etc etc.

    (psst…take this red pill..wake up, -wake uP..)
