But what can one make of the turmoil in Romania these days? A new contender for the presidency of Romania jumped out of nowhere to be the leading candidate for the second round. Who is Călin Georgescu and what is his intellectual weltanschauung?
A good introduction to his thinking is found in an unedited interview with Reiner Fuellmich, ICIC on December 2022 and posted on May 27, 2023 on YouTube https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UhI2Fyr3ZRc. And it’s pretty embarrassing. This is a man with a serious pedigree, Secretary General of Romania’s Ministry of Environment, before he was catapulted up to the UN Agency for the same environmental protection as one of the regional directors; he worked there for some 18 years, visiting almost every country of the world and making or implementing decisions of global importance.
All of that despite his command of English being at the level of junior high school… And his general intellectual outlook was a call to traditional agrarian artisanal nostalgia. But when we get to promoting the benefits of such a simple life for our modern world, he explains that such a lifestyle made possible a life expectancy in the range of 180 to 200 years. Even Reiner flinched at that point and adjusted his glasses. I’m sorry, can you repeat that? Yes, of course, Georgescu explains, in Guinea I met people who were 180 years old. It is very possible.
Not sure about Reiner Fuellmich, and whether he realized that his guest was ruining his interview. Interestingly, it is not clear to this day what role he played and who promoted Reiner Fuellmich in those days, but he gathered a large following in the days of COVID as the lawyer of last resort, single-handedly setting up a peoples’ tribunal against the perpetrators of the COVID fraud. Suffice it to add that a month after the interview with Călin Georgescu, the Germans arrested him for alleged embezzlement and had him in preventive custody for over a year.
Well, back to our man Călin Georgescu. Now this is a fellow who, all his life, up to retirement with a fat pension from the same source, was one of the grandees of the liberal establishment. He served the liberal agenda and now he’s turned against his masters. Interesting conversion of someone who served his masters “against his conscience.”
But what can explain his meteoric rise and his sudden endorsement by obscure forces? The Russians stand accused. On what basis?
Let’s consider who are the main protagonists in the present conjuncture in Eastern Europe. The Russians, yes. Then the Americans. Biden’s Globalists or Trump’s sovereigntists? Then there is Netanyahu of Israel and its zealot ass-kisser Orban.
Little known to the public is Orban’s assiduous pursuit of revisionist claims on the Romanian territory of Transylvania, as well as claims against Ukraine’s Transcarpatica, regions once colonized by feudal Hungary. Orban is betting on two winners in the global war: Netanyahu’s Israel and Putin’s Russia, backed by Trump’s America, against the European Western establishment. That would almost guarantee his anointment as the Viceroy of Europe for a start.
But the current Romanian orientation is staunchly pro-EU, pro-Germany, especially with Klaus Johannis as president fully endorsing the Soros agenda, a sworn enemy of Orban.
Now the plot thickens. Brussels, Germany, Soros, and Biden on one side. Putin, Netanyahu, Trump and Orban on the other side. So who could have been behind the TikTok promotion of the inept Georgescu? Who had the skills and the motivation? And the alibi? The elephant in the room is … a 3-headed mastodon.
Putin obviously supports Netanyahu’s ethnic cleansing, so a little courtesy is due – just replace the anti-Russian government in Romania with a pro-Russian one, OK? At the same time, Orban is in high heaven betting on Trump, as he is anti-EU and opposes sanctions on Russia. Orban calls his personal friend, Netanyahu, and asks for a favor, as he, Orban, is the only European openly supporting the genocide in Gaza. Can you get this non-entity elected for me? And then he turns to Putin and claims to have helped him in a most critical moment. “Remember, Vlad, when we get to the next Yalta reconfiguration of Europe – all I ask for is that piece of real estate called Transylvania.” Never mind, Hungarians make up less than 6 percent of the population in Transylvania. We can work out a bit of ethnic cleansing, just like in Gaza.
Now the president of Romania has just resigned under huge pressure from the new Trump envoy for Europe, that’s Mr. Grenell, the personage much hated in Germany. The prime minister of Romania is compromised. The elections are compromised, and the entire leadership of Romania is suddenly compromised.
Orban goes to Spain and proclaims at the conference sponsored by Le Pen, Wilders and other pro-Israeli so-called conservatives, that this is the time for the Reconquista. First stage of the plan is a big success.
But where will all this Trump obscenity get us in the end? Only time will tell.
