‘Europe is now a dictatorship’ – Georgescu

 

Romania’s presidential frontrunner has been barred from attempting to run for office again

 

Romanian presidential hopeful Calin Georgescu has branded the EU a “dictatorship” and his home country a “tyranny” after the Central Electoral Bureau (BEC) in Bucharest shot down his candidacy for the upcoming election re-run.

 

The BEC dismissed Georgescu’s bid late on Sunday, having received more than 1,000 challenges against him, largely revolving around his allegedly “anti-democratic” and “extremist” stance. According to the ruling published on Sunday evening, Georgescu had “failed to comply with the rules of the electoral procedure, violating the very obligation… to defend democracy.”

 

The presidential hopeful, who was a clear favorite in the upcoming election and was polling between 40% and 45%, strongly condemned the decision.

 

“A direct blow to the heart of democracy worldwide! I have one message left! If democracy in Romania falls, the entire democratic world will fall! This is just the beginning. It’s that simple! Europe is now a dictatorship; Romania is under tyranny!” Georgescu wrote on X.

 

The BEC ruling has prompted scuffles between Georgescu’s supporters and law enforcement outside the electoral board. The protesters tried to breach police barriers erected around the building, with the law enforcement responding with tear gas and pepper spray.

 

Georgescu, a critic of NATO and the EU and an opponent of aiding Ukraine, made the headlines last November when he scored a surprise victory in the first round of presidential election, receiving 23% of the votes. The result, however, was promptly annulled by Romania’s Constitutional Court, which cited “irregularities” in the candidate’s campaign and intelligence reports claiming Russian meddling.

 

Preliminary findings of an investigation reportedly indicated that the “irregularities” stemmed from actions of a consulting firm associated with the ruling pro-Western National Liberal Party (PNL). The firm presumably sought to derail another candidate but accidentally boosted Georgescu instead.

 

Romanian media also reported that Georgescu was suspected of breaking campaign finance laws by not disclosing donations from wealthy businessmen.

 

Last month, Georgescu was arrested and charged with “promoting fascist, racist, or xenophobic ideologies” and plotting “anti-constitutional acts.” The politician has dismissed all the accusations as politically motivated, claiming that was being targeted by the Romanian “deep state,” and asked US President Donald Trump for help.

 

Russia has denied attempting to influence the elections in Romania. “We have repeatedly rejected these baseless speculations and are stating it again: Russia has no habit of meddling in the affairs of others,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakhharova told reporters earlier this week.

Protests erupt as anti-NATO Romanian presidential candidate booted from vote (VIDEO)

 

Romania’s electoral bureau has barred Calin Georgescu from running for office in May

 

Georgescu condemned Sunday's ruling, claiming the electoral board's decision spells grave consequences for democracy not only in Romania but all across the globe.

 

“A direct blow to the heart of democracy worldwide! I have one message left! If democracy in Romania falls, the entire democratic world will fall! This is just the beginning. It’s that simple! Europe is now a dictatorship, Romania is under tyranny!” Georgescu wrote on X.

 

The BEC ruling can be appealed to the Constitutional Court within 24 hours, while the top judiciary body will have 48 hours to produce a final decision.

Israeli student arrested in Poland for Nazi salute at Auschwitz

 

High schooler made gesture beneath 'Arbeit Macht Frei' ('Work Sets You Free') sign at entrance to former Nazi camp; he was detained and later released after being fined 1,500 zloty (about $370)

 

The student, who was visiting the site with his high school delegation from northern Israel, made the gesture beneath the "Arbeit Macht Frei" ("Work Sets You Free") sign at the entrance to the former Nazi camp. He was detained and later released after being fined 1,500 zloty (about $370).

 

Israel’s Education Ministry said it was treating the incident with "the utmost severity" and that the student would face disciplinary measures upon returning home. "This behavior is entirely unacceptable, contradicts the values of Israeli education, and undermines the significance of the trip to Poland," the ministry said in a statement.

The Auschwitz-Birkenau museum condemned the act, calling the Nazi salute a symbol of the antisemitic ideology responsible for the suffering and murder of millions during World War II. "Committing such an act at the historical site, where Nazi Germany murdered approximately one million Jews, along with tens of thousands of Poles, Roma, Soviet prisoners of war and others, is not only deeply offensive and morally reprehensible but also a violation of the law," the museum said. Security personnel reported the incident to police, who launched an investigation.

 

The student’s high school said it was addressing the matter internally and that the act did not reflect the values of the institution. The municipality where the school is located said it was also investigating. The student told authorities he had been waving rather than making a Nazi salute.

Polish law prohibits the public promotion of Nazi symbols, with violations punishable by up to two years in prison. In January, a Dutch tourist was arrested and fined for performing a Nazi salute at Auschwitz, which she later described as a "bad joke."

Former Prime Minister issues stark warning about Donald Trump if China was to attack Australia

 

Former PM Malcolm Turnbull issues Donald Trump warning

 

Former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull has warned Australia can't rely on Donald Trump to take military action against China if there was ever an attack on our shores.

 

Mr Turnbull, who was PM during the US president's first term in the White House, said the ANZUS treaty between the nations offered little guarantees.

 

'You cannot assume anything about Donald Trump - it's part of his brand to be unpredictable,' he told Daily Mail Australia.

 

'Yes, he's very transactional. I would hope that the United States would always come to our aid under the ANZUS treaty if we were attacked in the Pacific.

 

'But Mr Trump has made it very clear, it's part of his brand, part of his style, to be less predictable and he has certainly been prepared to take on allies.'

 

The NATO treaty requires all its signatory nations, including the US, UK, Germany, Canada and France, to react militarily if any of its 32-member countries are invaded.

 

But under the 1951 ANZUS treaty, Americans are only required to consult Australia if another country attacks us, but not necessarily send in troops.

 

'Mr Trump is deliberately unpredictable - that's his style. We cannot assume that the US would come to our aid,' Mr Turnbull said.

 

'The obligation in the event of one party being attacked is to consult - there is no obligation to act.'

WTF is this, start digging?

 

Inside the secret island where wealthy people go to alter their DNA

 

A little-known island in the Caribbean is quickly becoming a mecca for the ultra-wealthy looking to 'live forever' thanks to its non-existent laws around experimental gene therapy.

 

Roatán, which is located 40 miles off the northern coast of Honduras with easy flights from the US, is home to a charter city called Prospera.

 

In the futuristic metropolis, which is the brainchild of Venezuelan-born wealth fund manager Erick Brimen, there are single-digit tax rates, Bitcoin has been adopted as a unit of currency and there are no regulations around various cutting-edge, but non-approved, medical practices.

 

One of the treatments on offer from the Minicircle clinic - as tested by biohacker Bryan Johnson - is follistatin gene therapy.

 

This treatment, which is not approved by the FDA and is illegal in the US, currently costs $25,000 and it involves a simple injection of DNA molecules that encourage the body to repair itself.

 

The effects are said to last for one to two years.

 

Minicircle, a biotech startup registered in Delaware, prides itself on being one of the pioneers in human genetic enhancement.

 

While it has only completed a Phase I clinical trial on follistatin gene therapy, the company claims the treatment has shown 'great promise.'

 

Follistatin is a protein that helps regulate the metabolism and plays a role in regulating several bodily functions, including muscle growth and development, bone health and the reproductive system.

 

In animal studies, follistatin gene therapy was found to extend the lifespan of mice by 32.5 percent.

 

In a brochure detailing what the procedure involves with humans, Minicircle describes it as 'well-researched, safe, and exceptionally effective.'

 

It is currently taking on volunteers as part of its next round of clinical trials.

 

Following its initial trial, the company claimed follistatin gene therapy 'increased lean mass, decreased fat, decreased inflammation, lengthened telomeres, and dramatically reversed epigenetic age acceleration'.

 

Improving the body in this way would in turn help someone to live longer.
