The European Union continues to sink deeper and deeper in its own political excrement as it not only believes its own manufactured consent by its Brussels cabal of wasters who call themselves journalists but is also tightening down its grip on its 400 million citizens. The EU never pretended to be a democracy but these days it is surpassing even the Stalinist period of the Soviet Union in its determination to control every thought of its citizens, which, of course means hunting down and persecuting any journalists who even simply question the narrative.

The latest example – as there are many – is good ‘ol Chay Bowes, an RT presenter-come-journalist who was sent to Romania to cover the presidential elections – second time around, as the original result in March, which didn’t please the EU, was cancelled. It’s what the EU does quite frequently. It simply cancels democratic processes which don’t come up with the results it prefers. Ireland and France experienced the same with their own referendums which had to be done a second time to get the right result. These days the EU simply calls any results which it doesn’t like ‘Russian interference’ and everyone just rolls over and accepts it, amazingly.

Well, perhaps not amazingly for Romania which entered the EU in 2007 as its sort of Third World member state with corruption so bad that the narrative in Brussels at the time was “we’ll let them it and then reform them”. Not much has changed. The elite in Bucharest quite confidently takes its instructions from Brussels these days which told the Romanians to arrest Bowes when he arrives in Bucharest and get him to sign some bullshit fake police statement admitting all kinds of nonsense before kicking him out of the country.

Only the EU elite would go this far to block any kind of old school reporting on the ground by polemics like Bowes, who is probably considered very odd in his native Ireland, but was really only going to report what he saw and heard.  Only the EU would be this obsessed with using the example of his arrest as a warning to any other odd journalists who don’t believe the EU script, that this is what happens to you. Bowes may well be wondering what will happen to him if he ever has to return to Ireland to see loved ones. Will his own police, on the instructions of the fabulously corrupt EU, have him arrested on some fake charge?

At the heart of the matter is a man called Georgescu who, in basic terms, stands against everything that the corrupt EU and its boss – Ursula von der Leyen – stand for and so he got branded as being ‘pro-Russian’ and they have the piece of paper to prove it. From their own secret service goons. Oh yes they have.

Although he didn’t stand this second time around, back in March he got very close to winning outright the election before the EU stepped in. How convenient it was for Brussels to cancel an election in a country where corruption is so endemic that the people simply didn’t question how anti-democratic the stunt was in the first place. Romania, it would seem, is an irony-free zone. And I should know. In 2007 I travelled there to interview the PM for Euronews, only to find that once I arrived the interview was cancelled. I protested in a sarcastic email offering a couple thousand euros bribe to the press officer, only to receive a very angry email back. The press honcho had taken my offer seriously. Undeterred, I comforted myself by interviewing Romania’s new, young anti-corruption minister who, somewhat on cue, was forced to resign a few days after the interview. Yes, you’ve guessed it. He was accused of graft on a grand scale himself.

Democratically speaking, Romania is not at all a serious country, which has allowed the EU to meddle in its internal workings quite effortlessly rather like Moscow might have done at one point in its history.

The elite in Bucharest and their EU masters have a real problem with Georgescu and is policies which are remarkably similar to those of Victor Orban, the EU’s in-house irritant who holds back the project from thinking big.

“His frequent posts channelled widespread frustration over persistent poverty and endemic corruption in the country” Bloomberg wails. “Reprising themes popular with prominent nationalists such as Hungary’s Viktor Orban and Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro, he condemned LGBTQ rights, questioned the use of vaccines, portrayed the coronavirus pandemic as a hoax and espoused the “Great Replacement” theory — the idea that Christian populations are being systematically replaced by non-Christians and immigrants”.

Perhaps it was his cynicism about Covid vaccines which really got up the European Commission’s boss’s nose? After all, she has a number of billion dollar corruption allegations still stinking about her involvement with Pfizer after she amazingly managed to delete all her text messages to its boss, while refusing to cooperate with an internal EU probe. And let’s not get started on her husband’s relationship with Pfizer and the dirty EU money his outfit has received.

It may well have been that the EU simply could not cope with a second in-house rebel, to add to Hungary, blocking voting on big issues that something had to be done to silence Georgescu. And so the ‘ol ‘Russia meddling’ allegation had to be wheeled out and dusted down. And can you blame them, when you have well over a 1000 call-centre journalist in Brussels eagerly waiting to write up this garbage fed to them without even checking if any of it is even remotely based on the broadest definition of truth?

Russia’s government has denied any interference in the election while Its foreign intelligence agency SVR released a statement on March 4 saying the criminal probe against Georgescu showed that a totalitarian European liberal elite feared the ‘conservative turn of Europe’ under the influence of Donald Trump. Well put.

But Bowes’ arrest and deportation is alarming as it signals a new low on the scumline of EU totalitarianism. The dirty bath of grand scale corruption and total power that the European Commission boss is lowering herself into represents a new phase where we see von der Leyen pull off any stunt to stay in power at the cost of Europe’s democracy, which many fought for, going down the plughole at an alarming speed.

“It’s truly amazing just how quickly justice, the rule of law and human rights have been removed, not just in Romania but across Europe” one pundit on X wrote. “People are accepting it without a fight which is an insult to all those who fought for those rights and sometimes died for them”.
