Nothing says 'democracy' like restricting who gets on the ballot.
And nothing is more democratic than banning the leading candidate because the European Union technocrats disagree with him. Nothing says "protecting democracy" better than a bunch of bureaucrats carefully vetting candidates to ensure that they will give those bureaucrats all the power to make the most important decisions. Because bureaucrats, not stupid voters, know best.DEMOCRACY? Romania, under pressure from the EU, has disqualified Calin Georgescu’s candidacy for president as he is critical of both NATO and the EU. The previous election he was leading was annulled to prevent him from winning. Now he's being kept off the ballet despite leading… pic.twitter.com/giHA7pFklzIF that is the case, the European Union just got a lot more democratic. So democratic, in fact, that they may just decide to dispense with national elections in just the way that the European Union Parliament gets very little say in actual EU policy--it's left to the European Council which is "elected" as a slate by the Parliament and never faces the voters themselves.
— @amuse (@amuse) March 9, 2025I know that many dreamers out there still live in a fantasy world where the Europeans are the good guys dedicated to freedom and Western values, but that is becoming less and less true over time. Sure, the EU is happy enough to allow the population to vote, as long as they vote the "right" way. If they threaten to exceed the Overton Window set by the technocrats--the transnational elite--the elections can be canceled until the "right" candidates are put on the ballot.Romanian protesters have taken to the streets to contest the government’s ban on Calin Georgescu’s candidacy. pic.twitter.com/iA800USA1p

He won their first round of elections, and their court quickly overturned it. He is now *still* leading in the polls, so they are simply banning him from running.

Georgescu is unacceptable because he goes head to head with the transnational elite. This makes him too "right wing." I can't say whether he is or isn't "right wing," is my cup of tea or the opposite, and chances are there is much to dislike about him from my point of view. Or not.JUST IN - Italy's Deputy PM Salvini says banning Călin Georgescu from the Romanian election is a "Soviet-style euro coup" and "a serious theft of democracy."

It is striking to me that many Americans love this version of "democracy" as much as the Eurocrats do, and they do because they share the same vision of governance: rule by technocracy.As expected, Calin Georgescu is banned from the Romanian presidential elections, he was judged as being the wrong sort of candidate and he would have won.

They imagine the permanent bureaucracy to be a check on the president and hence the voters, so they accuse Trump of being an autocrat because he, as an elected official in charge of the Executive Branch, is using his powers instead of deferring to the unelected bureaucrats.7ACLU: “Not only would such mass layoffs violate federal law, but this action would undermine the important and historic check that the career civil service has had on curbing abuses by the executive branch.”

Newsflash, Deep Staters: civil servants only have power through the president, and the president has his power through Article II of the Constitution.
Here is what Article II of the Constitution says in the very first sentence.
The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.
Nowhere is there a bureaucratic power or some mythical fourth branch of government.
The transnational elite seriously believes that all power does or should rest in their hands. That there is a global technocratic elite that serves as the rightful leader of the hoi polloi and that elections should rightly be shams to calm us all down and provide "legitimacy" to their rule.🇷🇴 Georgescu stood today in front of a massive army of supporters who came to demand their country back

In Europe, the EU decrees who can be elected. In the US they tried to use lawfare to keep Trump off the ballot, but it amounts to the same thing: the elites should get to decide who can have power.
Trump has defied them, and is having to move quickly--like a bull in a China shop--because he has no choice. It is a race against time because there are millions of bureaucrats in the Deep State and trillions of dollars mobilizing to impede his retaking of power away from those who have run things for decades.
Trump is riding a populist wave, and populism is always messy and just a bit dangerous. But populism rises as the elites become so corrupt that the people have no choice but to rise up against them.
I hate that we are here. I wish we had decent and trustworthy elites, but we don't.
We have elites who do things like this: kick candidates they dislike off ballots because they might win. That is what tyrants do.

Chris Murphy's Paranoiac Visions (aka TDS)
Byron York, "For one leading Democrat, Trump paranoia, Musk paranoia, and Putin paranoia merge into one"
FOR ONE LEADING DEMOCRAT, TRUMP PARANOIA, MUSK PARANOIA, AND PUTIN PARANOIA MERGE INTO ONE. Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy is one of the Democrats urging his party to resist President Donald Trump more aggressively across a broad range of issues. “Mr. Murphy has seemed to be everywhere, all at once, since Inauguration Day,” the New York Times recently wrote, “staging a loud and constant resistance to Mr. Trump at a time when Democrats are struggling to figure out how to respond to him.”
Murphy has exhibited the usual Resistance obsessions, focusing furiously on Trump, Department of Government Efficiency head Elon Musk, and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. And now, as he devotes his energy to trying to stop the president’s effort to bring peace to Ukraine, Murphy has combined all those fixations into a sort of grand unified theory of Trump — what he calls the “bigger story.”
Murphy explained the theory in an appearance on CNN on Sunday. Trump and Musk, he said, are scheming with Putin to “transition America into a kleptocratic oligarchy” to “steal our data, to steal our Medicare, to steal our Medicaid.” Huh? Here’s the complete quote, beginning with Murphy’s assessment of the contentious Oval Office meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky:
The entire pretext for that meeting was an attempt to rewrite history in order to sign a deal with Putin that hands Putin Ukraine. That is disastrous for U.S. national security. That means that China will be on the march. Putin may not stop. America may be at war with a nuclear power. And for what? For what? It appears as if America is trying to align itself with dictators, that Donald Trump wants us to have our closest relationships with despots all around the world, because that makes it easier for him to transition America into a kleptocratic oligarchy, where Elon Musk and Donald Trump rule and steal from the American people. If we were allied with democracies, that would be harder. But if the United States’s closest partner is Russia, then it makes it a lot easier for Donald Trump, Elon, and their billionaire pals to steal from the American people, to steal our data, to steal our Medicare, to steal our Medicaid in order to enrich themselves.
Can’t you see it? It all fits together if you just look at it the right way. When Murphy finished, the CNN host, Dana Bash, diplomatically said, “There was a lot there.”
Without any psychiatric training, it would be unfair to suggest the senator exhibited some signs of particularly fevered thinking, of, say, apophenia, the phenomenon by which “a person inclined to believe conspiracies may tie together unrelated information and events, weaving together a narrative that is in line with what they perceive as truth,” as described by Psychology Today. But it does appear that Murphy believes he has discovered a pattern of relationships between things, such as Medicaid and Ukraine, that are not in fact related. You might not see it, but Murphy does. Maybe it would be OK to say he appears to suffer from political apophenia. (Just to be clear, hopefully, most people can agree that, for example, long-standing efforts to curb the skyrocketing costs of Medicare and Medicaid are not a Kremlin plot.)
How many Democrats share Murphy’s views? It’s not clear. But it is clear that if Murphy plays a leading role in his party’s response to Trump, Democrats will fall into the same Russia mania that characterized the Resistance in Trump’s first term in office. “The White House has become an arm of the Kremlin,” Murphy declared on CNN. “Every single day, you hear from the national security adviser, from the president of the United States, from his entire security team, Kremlin talking points.” How is the president to negotiate an end to the Ukraine war with domestic opposition like that?
There was a moment in the Oval Office meeting when a reporter asked Trump what his message was for Europeans who worry “that you align yourself too much with Putin.” Trump responded, “Well, if I didn’t align myself with both of them, you’d never have a deal. You want me to say really terrible things about Putin and then say, ‘Hi Vladimir, how are you doing on the deal?’ It doesn’t work that way. I’m not aligned with Putin. I’m not aligned with anybody. I’m aligned with the United States of America.”
Trump won the presidency by pledging to pursue American interests above other interests. What he said in the meeting with Zelensky was a concise restatement of his campaign theme. After the blowup, someone posted words to the effect, “What did y’all think America First meant?” It meant what the world saw in the Oval Office.
What Murphy seems unable to understand is that the Trump plan could well be the best path forward for Ukraine, which is in a terrible position after being invaded by Russia, is now in its fourth year of war, and is totally dependent on outside aid. Just two days before the Zelensky meeting, Trump told reporters, “I’ve had very good conversations with President Putin. I’ve had very good conversations with President Zelensky. And until four weeks ago, nobody had conversations with anybody. It wasn’t even a consideration. Nobody thought you could make peace. I think you can.”
Then, a reporter asked, “But if Mr. Putin gets to keep the land that was claimed by force, if the Russians get to keep the territory that they claimed by force, doesn’t that send a dangerous message to China about Taiwan?”
“You try and take it away, right?” Trump said to laughter around the room. “We’re going to do the best we can. We’re going to do the best we can to make the best deal we can for both sides. But for Ukraine, we’re going to try very hard to make a good deal so that they can get as much back as possible. We want to get as much back as possible.”
Analyst Michael Lind recently wrote that Trump’s response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine fits into a long tradition of American presidents, from Lincoln to Franklin Delano Roosevelt to Eisenhower to Johnson and beyond, dealing with wars and aggression around the world. Perhaps there are good reasons to oppose Trump’s Ukraine strategy, Lind wrote, “but to be consistent, moralists who invoke American ideals ought to condemn FDR and Churchill for agreeing to a Soviet sphere of influence in Eastern Europe that lasted half a century after 1945. And they must condemn Eisenhower and Johnson for failing to take significant action to punish the Soviet Union from crushing democratic rebellions in East Germany in 1953, Hungary in 1956, and Czechoslovakia in 1968. … American statesmen in every generation usually are guided by considerations of the national interest in their dealings with other major powers, including those whose internal regimes are repugnant to American principles.”
“I’m not aligned with anybody. I’m aligned with the United States of America,” Trump said. The point is Trump’s plan, or at least what we know about it, is a reasonable way to approach a terrible problem in Ukraine. It is not a Russian conspiracy. If the political opposition were able to judge it on its own terms rather than hysterically hypothesizing about Kremlin talking points — and it is not clear that Murphy would ever be able to do that — they might see it as possibly the best way out of a bad situation.Salvador Dali, "Paranoia" (1935)

NATO and the American Neocons Have Fallen Into the Thucydides Trap
Sundance, "Team Zelenskyy Has a “Security Guarantee” Plan to Recapture all Lost Ukraine Territory"
The broader ‘western’ intelligence actors have been in control of Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s activity in the conflict with Russia. The outline of their plan is within the statements delivered by the Ukrainian leader, we just have to accept them.
The people who control Ukraine, Intelligence Community, CIA, elements of U.S. State Dept., NATO, EU Commission and the private sector banks and World Economic Forum investment handlers, do not want to accept a Ukraine-Russia ceasefire or peace agreement.
This aforementioned network of influence agents specifically does not want President Trump and President Putin to come to terms, because they well understand the regional territory of Ukraine will not return. However, if you look closely at the demand by Ukraine for U.S. troops as the contingency for “security guarantees” the outline of a scheme is clear.
It’s a trap!
As soon as U.S. troops enter the equation on the ground in Russia, particularly as the buffer force in the point of conflict between Ukranian and Russian military, there will be some intentional event created to harm U.S. troops and thrust the USA NATO alliance in direct combat with Russia.
This is the element of Zelenskyy’s greatest need. If U.S. troops are killed or drawn into combat, an escalated war against Russia becomes the tool to get all the captured territory back. The outline is clear.
It doesn’t need to be Russia attacking U.S-led NATO troops, it only needs to be the impression of Russia attacking to create the horrific narrative. The global intelligence network is very skilled at creating the optics of conflict and assigning blame to the wrong actors. This is what they have done in the past in various regional conflicts in order to achieve the result.
One immediate way we can tell this is the objective would be for various media to finally begin broadcasting directly from the line of conflict, the militarized zone that would divide Ukraine territory from Russia-controlled territory. Currently, the Ukraine war is the only regional warzone where there is literally no on-the-ground reporting by western media; that would change as part of the IC approach.
President Trump instinctively knows the Zelenskyy demand for U.S. troops as the security guarantee is dangerous; it pulls us deeper into the possibility of conflict. The U.S. industrial military complex would love to see our military involved in Ukraine, and the overwhelming membership of the U.S. political deep state also support it.
Without the USA, a false flag operation to frame the Russians for attacking EU troops does not carry the same weight. It is both alarming and maddening to accept this likely scenario scheming through the minds of those who have controlled the Ukraine mess for the past several years.
Thankfully, President Trump appears to be fundamentally against the proposition for U.S. military involvement.
We should be clear-eyed about what Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the bad actors are trying to create.

Sundance, "British PM Keir Starmer Says He Will Organize EU Ceasefire Security Force with France +2, and Count on U.S. Military Backstop From Trump"
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is holding a Ukraine summit in London today with EU leaders, following two phone calls with President Trump.
According to the outline Starmer proposed on BBC News, following the disastrous Zelenskyy meeting in the White House, the British PM called President Trump and also Emmanuel Macron. According to his statements, Starmer told Trump he would work with Macron +2 unidentified countries (a “coalition of the willing”), to organize an EU security force for a Ukraine ceasefire; then the group will require Trump to provide a U.S. troop “backstop” as an insurance policy.
Starmer completely ignores the NATO provocations against Russia that preceded the military operation by Vladimir Putin, instead blaming only the aggression of Putin for the expansion of NATO in Europe. Interview Below:Starmer is meeting with EU leaders today, presumably to initiate a discussion of an EU security force that would form the peacekeeping group to secure a ceasefire. However, Starmer consistently says the U.S. backstop is needed to protect the EU forces in the event the ceasefire doesn’t hold.

The Shadow American Foreign Policy Cabal Undermining Trump and Peace in Ukraine
On Friday, Ukrainian President Zelensky met with a bipartisan group of US Senators and warmongers before his meeting with President Trump.
The meeting was held at the Hay Adams Hotel across from the White House and took place before Zelensky went to the White House.
Zelensky wrote:An important visit to the United States. In Washington, I met with a bipartisan delegation from the U.S. Senate.As you watch the video below, you see US senators acting like children with complete joy as they meet the megalomaniac who refuses peace with Russia.
Our discussions focused on the continued military assistance for Ukraine, relevant legislative initiatives, my meeting with President Trump, efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace, our vision for ending the war, and the importance of robust security guarantees.
We take pride in having strategic partners and friends like the United States. We are grateful for the unwavering bicameral and bipartisan support for Ukraine throughout all three years of Russia’s full-scale aggression.
Have they ever treated President Trump with such excitement? No, of course not.
After Zelensky met with these US Senators, he then went to the White House, where he:-disrespected the US President and his cabinetIt was a complete disaster.
-spoke over both President Trump and VP J.D. Vance
-called J.D. by his first name and not the title
-Argued with Trump and Vance
-Disrespected the American audience
-And then, he was escorted from the White House
Zelensky did not come to make peace. He came to continue the war and the devastation of Ukraine.
How much did this earlier meeting with the jumpy, happy US Senators have to do with it?

What’s shocking is that after meeting and taking photo with Zelensky, RINO Lindsey Graham slammed him, calling the meeting “an absolute, utter disaster” and openly questioning whether Zelensky is “redeemable in the eyes of Americans.”
Graham: I’ve been to Ukraine eight or nine times since the war started. I understand the consequences of Putin’s actions against Ukraine. I appreciate what the Ukrainian people have done. They fought like tigers. At the end of the day, I was hoping that this minerals deal, which would be transformative in the relationship, would go over well. I talked to Zelensky this morning. Don’t take the bait. President Trump was in a very good mood last night.
Somebody asked me, am I embarrassed about Trump? I have never been more proud of the President. I was very proud of JD Vance, standing up for our country. We want to be helpful. What I saw in the Oval Office was disrespectful, and I don’t know if we can ever do business with Zelensky again. I think most Americans saw a guy that they would not want to go in business with. The way he handled the meeting, the way he confronted the president, was just over the top. So, I think the relationship between Ukraine and America is important, vitally important, but can Zelensky do a deal with the United States? After what I saw, I don’t know.
I think he has made it almost impossible to sell to the American people that he’s a good investment.
He either needs to resign and send somebody over that we can do business with, or he needs to change.
The President is responsible for US Foreign Policy, NOT the US Senate. It's the Senate's job to ratify treaties, not negotiate them. And Lindsey Graham... what a backstabbing weasel... jes' sayin'!

Romania... "Muh Democracy!"
Far-right populist Calin Georgescu, who won the first round of the annulled presidential elections in Romania last year, is accused, among other things, of promoting antisemitism and spreading false information.
Romanian prosecutors said Wednesday they had opened a criminal investigation into Calin Georgescu, the far-right front-runner in last year's annulled presidential election. Georgescu was taken in for questioning by prosecutors earlier in the day.
After questioning the politician for several hours, prosecutors said they were formally investigating him on charges of forming an antisemitic organization, promoting war criminals and fascist organizations, illegal possession of weapons, and spreading false information regarding the sources of financing of an electoral campaign.
Prosecutors also said Wednesday that they had raided 47 addresses of people and associations linked to Georgescu and that a large cache of weapons and hidden cash was found during the raid.
Among those searched was Horatiu Potra, a former member of the French Foreign Legion and military contractor in the Democratic Republic of Congo whose security firm provides bodyguards for Georgescu.
What was Georgescu's reaction?
Georgescu has denied any wrongdoing. He also accused the authorities of behavior reminiscent of Romania's communist past.
"The communist Bolshevik system is continuing its heinous abuse," Georgescu said on Facebook. "They are looking to invent evidence to justify stealing the election and to do anything in their efforts to block a new candidacy from me."
About 100 Georgescu supporters gathered in protest outside the prosecutor's headquarters in the capital, Bucharest, waving the Romanian flag and chanting: "Free Georgescu!" and "President Georgescu!"
Meanwhile, Romania's Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu said on X, "The judiciary is independent & the law must be applied regardless of persons."
Controversy over Romania's presidential election
Romania's Constitutional Court took the unprecedented step of nullifying the election two days before the December 8 runoff following Georgescu's surprise first-round victory. Allegations of Russian interference and election fraud quickly surfaced.
Members of US President Donald Trump's administration have sharply criticized Romania for nullifying the election.
Georgescu has sparked controversy in the past for describing Romanian fascist leaders of the 1930s and 1940s as national heroes. Under current Romanian law, promoting fascist leaders and Nazi, racist, or xenophobic symbols is prohibited and punishable by imprisonment.
He has also been criticized for praising Russian President Vladimir Putin in the past as "a man who loves his country" and for calling Ukraine "an invented state."
Meanwhile, Georgescu remains the top choice of voters in opinion polls ahead of a repeat presidential election in May, although it remains unclear whether he will be allowed to run.

A Prayer for Ukraine and Russia...
To be able to narrate, or remember, one must be able to forget or leave out a great deal. So, as a personal example, when I was in high school everybody was obsessed with the show 24. It branded itself as a realtime narrative. Each season was 24 episodes. Each episode a full hour of continuous time, with the whole season covering a single day. A "record" you could say. There was this lame joke you'd always hear where people would say, "Well, if it's really a full day, why doesn't anyone ever use the bathroom?" Silly I know, but it nevertheless points to the fact that even stories that market themselves as seamless records of reality still, by virtue of being stories, have gaps. Because it's through editing reality that we create narrative.

Why Co-Pilot Will Never Make Dervy Any Smarter...
"Oh No, Krasnov is Dismantling the DC Bureaucracy..."
Donald Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename "Krasnov", claims a former Soviet intelligence officer.
The bombshell allegation was made by Alnur Mussayev, a former Kazakh intelligence chief, in a Facebook post, reports the Mirror. The 71-year-old, who previously headed Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee, said he had served in the 6th Directorate of the KGB in Moscow, which was responsible for counter-intelligence support within the economy.
One of the directorate’s primary objectives, he claimed, was “recruiting businessmen from capitalist countries.” According to Mussayev, Trump, then a 40-year-old New York real estate developer, was one of those recruits. "In 1987, our directorate recruited Donald Trump under the pseudonym Krasnov,” he wrote.
Mussayev’s post did not include evidence to support his claim, but in a further comment he made another shocking allegation. “Today, the personal file of resident ‘Krasnov’ has been removed from the FSB. It is being privately managed by one of Putin’s close associates,” he alleged. His allegations come amid years of speculation over Trump’s ties to Russia, dating back to his first visit to Moscow in 1987.
At the time, Trump, then a rising star in the New York property market, travelled to the Soviet Union to explore the possibility of building a hotel in the capital. Soviet officials reportedly facilitated the trip, raising questions among intelligence analysts about whether it was a routine business opportunity or something more scandalous.
Several years ago a report highlighted how, in 1985, the KGB had updated a secret personality questionnaire distributed among its officers, detailing how to identify and recruit Western figures. The document, according to intelligence sources, instructed agents to target “prominent figures in the West” with the aim of “drawing them into some form of collaboration with us… as an agent, or confidential or special or unofficial contact.”
Mussayev’s claim appears to suggest that Trump may have been one such target. Despite years of scrutiny, Trump has vehemently denied having any improper ties to Russia or colluding with President Vladimir Putin.
However, some US officials have repeatedly raised concerns about his close relationship with the Kremlin leader, particularly during his first term in office. Anthony Scaramucci, who briefly served as Trump’s White House communications director in 2017, added to the intrigue during a recent episode of The Rest Is Politics: US podcast.
He suggested that Trump’s deference to Putin has puzzled many of his former senior officials. “I think there is a mysterious ‘hold’ on the president,” he said. Scaramucci did not elaborate on what that ‘hold’ might be but suggested that several former Trump administration officials, including H.R. McMaster, James Mattis, and John Kelly— had also struggled to understand Trump’s affinity for Putin. “I don’t know why it’s like this,” he said. “McMaster couldn’t figure it out, Mattis couldn’t figure it out, Kelly couldn’t figure it out.”

Stephen Miller Explains the Concept of the Unitary Executive to the Left-Lame Stream Media...
USAID - Weaponized Khalyava
In Russian culture, khalyava / by khalyava (Russian: халява, на халяву) is an untranslatable concept, similar to the concepts of "freebie" and "getting something for nothing", however with a different semantic field.[1]
Khalyava is a possibility to get something without particular effort.[1] A distinction is that khalyava is something free one is not normally entitled to. It may be a result of luck. For comparison, if your friend gives you a ticket inviting you to go to the movies, it is not khalyava, if it is part of your normal relations, but if he gives you a ticket because his wife cannot go, then it is khalyava.[2] Another possibility is that one gets something free in a way of dubious morality or legality, but not outright criminal.[3]
The "something" you get is not necessarily something tangible; it may be a possibility to get something, e.g., to buy a rare book by a lucky occasion, i.e., "by khalyava".[2]
A slightly different meaning for "khalyava" is an easy, low-effort job.[1]
Both meanings are given in the Sergey Ozhegov's lexicographic dictionary, but absent in Vladimir Dahl's.[4]
A person who is good at getting a khalyava is called khalyavnik or khalyavshchik, which may simply mean "a lucky man". However khalyava may come at the expense of others. In the first case it may be eating at restaurants at other's expense; in the second meaning this involves a skill to dump the hard part of the job on others. In this case "khalyavshchik" becomes pejorative and reasonably corresponds to "freeloader" or "free rider".[1]

The Ordo Amoris & Tactical Wokeness
And thus beauty, which is indeed God’s handiwork, but only a temporal, carnal, and lower kind of good, is not fitly loved in preference to God, the eternal, spiritual, and unchangeable good. . . . For though it be good, it may be loved with an evil as well as with a good love: it is loved rightly when it is loved ordinately; evilly, when inordinately. . . . But if the Creator is truly loved, that is, if He Himself is loved and not another thing in His stead, He cannot be evilly loved; for love itself is to be ordinately loved, because we do well to love that which, when we love it, makes us live well and virtuously. So that it seems to me that it is a brief but true definition of virtue to say, it is the order of love.-Augustine, "City of God" (XV.22)
