The main stream media models and shapes the news and the
thinking of the voting populace based on the candidates and what platform they
offer – the more socialist, the more popular. The problem arises after the
election when, in the “laboratories of democracy,” the two Parliamentary
chambers, behind closed doors, unabashedly vacate the will of the voting people.
There is no law that prohibits the candidates elected to
migrate to other parties and to change representation to that party’s interest
and ideology. “Influenced by blackmail, bribery, and other means, some
representatives leave their parties under whose banner they ran for office, and
join another party or political organization, thus altering the results of the
general vote.” This way, a party or an alliance that was previously in a
majority, becomes a minority, further eroding the will of the voters.
These Machiavellian political alliances, made before or
after the election, often lack the ideological unity necessary to address the
strategic, political, or economic issues of the day and thus decisions are
generally made arbitrarily and not in the best interest of the population.
Parliament members are inhibited by fear that they will be
arrested under real or trumped up charges and would have to defend themselves
for years in a court of law and potentially serve time. Romanian politics must
pass through the microscope of the bureaucracy called the National Anti-Corruption
Directorate. (DNA)
In Brenciu’s opinion, the DNA is necessary but often
abusive. Those who control this institution, also control the direction of national
politics. For example, Brenciu added, the “infractors of the Social Democrat
Party (PSD) are treated differently than the Liberal Democrat Party (PDL) of
former President Traian Basescu.”
Some corrupt politicians are better protected under the law
than others, escaping prison, which results in a loss of trust by the general
public in the fairness and justice of government. Using this loss of trust, other politicians shamelessly
campaign under the slogan of curbing abuse, corruption, and illegality, and deliver
nothing.
While the politics of corruption continue unabated, national
interest is forgotten, “with a disgrace and arrogance worthy of historical
traitors,” said Brenciu, and the idea of nation-state and sovereignty overlooked
in the wave of internationalism coming from Brussels. “The negotiation of individual liberty is the
only politics in Romania that seem worthy of sincere, huge, and herculean
efforts.”
Take for example, the development funds allocated to Romania
by the European Union in Brussels. Based on passed history, under the banner of
curbing corruption, the funds are draconically controlled, and those who are
charged with dispersing them realize that it is almost impossible to obtain or
demand bribes, and it is thus not in their interest to try very hard to
allocate the funds to those who need them for development.
It is difficult to prove such financial corruption; however,
why should someone complicate their lives with foreign funds from EU when there
is nothing to be gained from the effort, only a lot of paperwork, hard to
obtain approvals, and the long wait for funds that must be spent exactly as
they were earmarked and in the given amount of time.
“For the EU bureaucrats, this would justify to view
Romanians as an inferior category in the grand multinational scheme of EU
wannabes.” Romania’s membership in the EU is important but their land,
strategic, and economic potential are much more important to these globalist
elites.
As Brenciu explained, following in the footstep of history when
colonists eliminated people who already resided on the lands sought after,
history has an annoying tendency to repeat itself. He explained, “Romania must be emptied of
Romanians, as they are incapable to resist the western bulldozer, and must
leave the gold for the explorers who came to the Old Continent in the name of
the Crown with 12 gold stars and a blue flag.”
On the question of the economic situation in Romania, following
the execution of the communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu in 1989, Brenciu had
this to say.
After the Revolution of December 1989, the first government,
that of Petre Roman, launched the competition which Brenciu dubbed, “Getting
Rich at Any Cost,” an effort to privatize the economy.
One such method of privatization called MEBO, gave
factories, industrial complexes, and economic centers to the new managers,
chosen by workers’ meetings, supposedly democratic. In this new brand of “savage
and primitive capitalism, devoid of any rules and regulations,” the newly
appointed managers robbed everything and anything that belonged to Ceausescu’s
communist state and thus became owners without any payment made to the state. The “proletariat,” who continued to work for
the new owners, received shares in this new “enterprise,” shares which they
later sold to the new owners/directors who became millionaires overnight.
Brenciu clarified that the majority of the new
owners/directors were former security officers and communist apparatchiks who
were traitors to the communist regime, turning the anti-communist tide into
their financial favor. They were opportunists, aided and abetted by a corrupt
judicial system and a mentality of two wolves and a lamb deciding what’s for
dinner.
The poor of yesterday, members of the proletariat, the much
touted “workers,” remain the poor of today. Many jobs have disappeared thanks to the sale
of unproductive factories, piece by piece, or the sale to foreign investors who
bought entire plants, whether productive or unproductive, to dismantle them or
to modernize them, and thus eliminate any competition possible.
Even though Romanian economy functioned under communism with
old and outdated technology, it had an industrial base. Today, Brenciu added,
Romania has become an “industrial-agrarian, tourist, and service economy.” And
the agricultural sector is also suffering as more arable land is left unused,
while food is imported from far away.
