A Romanian Whistleblower Talks about the Medical Tyranny

Dan MV Chitic, a Romanian attorney, is trying to keep a Romanian whistleblower protected from harm as he recounted what has happened to him in March 2021. The Romanian authorities have instituted a form of medical martial law by which Romanians were only permitted to go to the grocery store, pharmacy, gas stations, to work, and then home. At any given time, the heavy patrolling police could stop them and ask for their I.D.s and their papers for destination. 

The whistleblower named Ionut was stopped by such a cop and asked for his I.D. and detained him because it appeared to the cop that Ionut was breathing heavily (he had been walking a long distance). The cop told him that he had the C virus, handcuffed him, and called the ambulance. When the ambulance arrived, still handcuffed, Ionut was forced into the ambulance by the cop and the attending medical person and taken to the hospital without his permission. 

He was admitted and placed into a ward with other patients and then his handcuffs were removed. Perfectly healthy, he remained in the hospital forcibly during which time he was given unknown pills and a shot each day. After three days, he testified that they finally did a C-virus test which came back negative seven days later. Ionut was moved to another ward already occupied by an older gentleman on I.V. Ionut remained in this ward against his will for 11 more days after which he was released. 

During his ward stay in the hospital, he made friends with the older patient who did not have any idea why he was there. They were visited by a nurse twice a day, morning and night, and by a doctor at 10:30 a.m. each day. 

They were fed three meals a day, toast, and jam for breakfast with tea, soup and bread for lunch, and a small piece of meat for supper with mashed potatoes. The older gentleman got progressively worse, following various infusions and he died. They zipped him into a body bag on the floor and two nurses attempted to drag him. As they were struggling, a doctor came in and suggested to take him to "reanimare." (a sort of ICU) Ionut said, he was way passed reanimation as he started to turn purple.

The whistleblower is hidden by his lawyer Chitic (who asked other citizens to come forward and tell their stories and to also protect the whistleblower) as he is fearing for his life from the medical tyranny authorities, police, and politicians. He is the only one who was courageous enough to step forward and reveal the medical conditions and the medical tyranny that has gripped their nation and the globe simultaneously.

Memorial Day Respect for Freedom

I don't know why but I choke and tear up when I hear both the Romanian and the American National Anthems.
I see in my mind's eye all the Romanian faceless heroes who died to free us from the oppression of communism and all the American soldiers who perished in their selfless attempts to free so many people they never knew around the world. I feel a deep sense of gratitude; I can never repay their sacrifice but I can honor them by preserving their legacy.
I have a deep respect for the American flag and I fly it every day with pride. If the wind, rain, and sun tear or discolor it, I retire it with proper honors and purchase a new one. I know the sacrifice of living under tyranny and I abhor the American ingrates who trample and disrespect our flag.
My husbnd served both in Iraq and Afghanistan and brought back a folded American flag which was flown over Kabul. This flag has a place of honor in my house. I understand what he had to endure to serve under our beloved flag.
But his suffering pales by comparison with thousdands and thousands of American soldiers who returned in a coffin in the cargo hold of an airplane, saluted, and buried with honors. Their sacrifice and faces were quickly forgotten.
And then there are thousands who came back with deep scars on their souls, without limbs, and deep scars on their faces and bodies, left to fend for themselves in a cruel VA medical system.
Many veterans died waiting to be seen in the shameful VA clinics. After all, what is a little wait of seven months if you consider that waiting in line is just like waiting in line for a ride at Disney, said the callous VA chief.

The 2015 Romanian-American Alianta Gala

The second annual Alianta Awards Gala took place in the glitz and glamour of Washington, D.C. on October 7, 2015, across the street from the George Washington monument in the Organization of American States (OAS) headquarters.  

Organized by the tireless Dr. Iuliana Niculescu, a Romanian medical doctor from Detroit, Michigan, the Alianta Gala was a resounding success. The non-profit group was established to strengthen the cultural and economic bonds between Romania and the United States, empowering Romanian and American institutions and individuals from all walks of life to network, educate, and facilitate opportunities of economic development and cultural growth that benefit citizens of both nations. www.ALIANTA.org

The president of Alianta, the now retired U.S. Ambassador to Romania, Mark Gitenstein, made remarks that emphasized the long connection between the two countries and the desire of this organization to mutually advance the arts, sciences, business, and security. “Giving Back” programs are shaping up in three categories:  entrepreneurship/business, culture/art, and science/health.

The evening’s guests included government officials, former ambassadors, academics, politicians, TV personalities, entrepreneurs, and religious leaders. They were called upon to raise Romania’s profile in the U.S. by sharing their expertise and success. As Romanians, we are proud of our heritage and feel honored to share our collective and individual experiences with others.

The current Ambassador of Romania to the United States of America, George Cristian Maior, spoke about the successes and opportunities of growth in the future. The U.S. representative, Mike Turner (R-Ohio), the Romanian Congressional Caucus co-chair, made brief remarks on the effort to strengthen the ties between communities and the two countries.

Two curators, Sonia Coman and Ramona Todoca, presented their own art and designs and various artistic mediums as the message of many painters, sculptors, and visual artists.

After the meet and greet reception in the lovely atrium of the Organization of American States (OAS) building, the gala participants were directed upstairs. “The architectural wonder of its time,” built in 1910 with a tropical patio, marbled staircases, galleries, and monumental halls, the OAS mansion houses the world’s oldest regional organization of 35 countries from the Americas and the Caribbean.

During dinner, the 2015 Alianta award recipients, Dr. Adrian Bejan, Radu Georgescu, and Robert D. Kaplan, had an opportunity to give brief speeches.

Dr. Adrian Bejan, the J.A. Jones Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Duke University, has been ranked among the world’s 100 most highly cited authors in engineering since 2001 on the topics of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer.  He recently developed the Constructal Law of organization and evolution in nature. The author of 28 books and 600 peer-referred articles, Dr. Bejan spoke about his parents who were able to educate themselves and achieve success in the pre-era of communism, when Romania was a free society. He emphasized freedom as an enabler of his success in the post-communist era.

Radu Georgescu, a software entrepreneur since the early 1990s, founded the GECAD Group which focuses on investing in software and high-tech companies in areas of security software, e-commerce, and cloud technologies. He launched the RAV Antivirus which was purchased by Microsoft in 2004 and Avangate, which was sold to a U.S. private equity firm. In 2003 he received the National Order “Romania’s Star” from the President of Romania.

Robert D. Kaplan, bestselling author of 15 books on foreign affairs and travel, visited Romania in the 1970s and returned in 2013 and in 2014. He will release his newest book in 2016. He spoke about his travels and his impressions of the former communist Romania and the current Romania.

The Alianta Gala celebrated in style the Romanian-American non-profit alliance and honored the achievements of citizens who contributed to the 125 years of fruitful collaboration and diplomatic relations between the two countries.
