LETTER FROM ROMANIA
By Lucian
I have visited your webpage and I am glad to see that you are exposing the crimes committed by the Communists. Communists are evil. I know all about it because I am from Romania where the country had a left wing dictatorship since the Soviet military occupation in 1945. I want to tell you some current facts about Romania, what the Western media is not really reporting and maybe you will include some of these facts on your website, for people to know, if you can.

This is a case study, it's worth reading about it. Most Latin Americans, West Europeans and North Americans have no idea what goes on in Romania, they think it's a democracy now, just some economic problems. I hope the tragedy of Romania will help many North Americans and even some Latin Americans appreciate the freedom and prosperity they received from God through moderate normal right wing governments and they will oppose communism. Although the Cold War ended ten years ago, the Commies were not brought to justice and the symptoms of their mass destruction of the country are still there. In the Western press, people are told that the low standard of living in Eastern Europe and Russia is caused by the transition to capitalism. That is absolutely false. The misery is due to the lack of ethics and corrupt business practices left over from the Communist state. The mentality has not changed much and neither have the structures of many enterprises. There is no real capitalism in Eastern Europe or in Russia. It's just a tragic joke where former Communists have become capitalists overnight. In Romania, in 1990, "former" Communists won the elections through terror and intimidation tactics and brainwashing propaganda. Unfortunately, many people in my country were already brainwashed before 1990, so they believed the big lie campaign of the Neo-Communist "National Salvation Front", an organization that was formed by former Commies right after the
fall of Ceausescu, the Romanian Communist dictator. |
It was a terror worthy of Lenin's Bolsheviks and Mussolini's black shirts. The footage is from ABC channel 7. The Romanian Television back then in 1990 was still controlled by the Communists and did not show any of the footage to give the impression that no violence occured. The miners would attack anyone on the street who looked like an intellectual. The miners on the streets used to yell a slogan, saying, "Death to intellectuals!" You can give this tape to someone you know, who organizes seminars against Communism. The man responsible for this, is Neo-Communist leader Ion Iliescu, who studied Marxist ideology at Moscow in the 1940s and who became the President of Romania in 1990, after Ceausescu was overthrown. Iliescu lost the elections in 1996, and he is now a senator, and in the fall of this year, he will be running for president again.The Democratic Convention, the center right alliance of national parties that won the elections in 1996, are anti-Communist, they are an alliance of Christian Democrats. They could not gather a majority vote, enough to have the decisive majority in the Parliament, so they had to form a coalition with the so-called Democratic Party, a left wing group of former opportunistic Commies and garbage Socialist ideologists.
The Democratic Party presents itself as Social Democrat, and they claim to have no ties with the PDSR, former National Salvation Front, that is, the Communists who organized the violent anti-democratic miners' beatings of people in 1990. Another problem with the present Romanian government is that the membership requirements for the alliance national parties were never strict enough to prevent former Communist Party members and corrupt businessmen from joining these parties. And now the corrupt members from within the national parties that form the government have destroyed their reputation.Three Prime-Ministers were changed until now. The inflation in Romania is higher than ever in the last 60 years. Just to give you an idea maybe you can pass it on, so the American left wing bigots and "minority" idiots who complain all the time can understand what real poverty is.
In Romania, the average salary, is between $60 and $100 a month. That is 1 million 300 thousand lei, Lei is the Romanian currency. So out of 1 million and 300,000, they pay somewhere between 500,000 and 700,000 on apartment building maintenance. Most people live in Communist-built buildings from the Cold War and they pay half of their salary for maintenance, which includes electricity, water, gas and building maintenance. Each public utility corporation is a state-owned monopoly, controlled by former Communists, and although they claim to be independent from the state, it's the same state run garbage bureaucracy.
There is only one public utility "company" for each. One for electricity, one for water, one for gas. So there is no competition in their industries, they raise their rates about every two months. And they don't care if people can't pay. In some apartment buildings, where three or four families could not afford to pay the water monthly bill, the water "corporation" cuts the water supply to the whole building. Like I said, many of these buildings are from the cold war and the Communists built only one water pipe that runs through the whole building and supplies all the residents who live in the building. This is inefficient, because if one can't pay, all lose access to water. That's equality, isn't it? Even today, because of the way buildings were built, all people in one building pay a flat rate for water usage, even if some use less than others. It was built like this because the Commies wanted to make people do everything in common, in group, like a herd of brainwashed cattle, it was part of their official ideology.

In Timisoara, a city of 350,000 people in the Western part of Romania, is the city where the anti-Communist battle against Ceausescu started in December 1989.
It remains the only city where the former Communists never won any local elections in ten years. The central city square remains a symbol of God-given freedom, against Communism, and it has a Western look of market capitalism to it, it's great. There are free pop and rock concerts there sometimes, there is a McDonald's there, fine restaurants and pizzerias, clothing stores, and internet clubs. Internet clubs are a new thing in Romania. Since most people can't afford to buy a computer, they go to an internet club where they pay an amount for using a computer for one hour or more, to check their email or to surf the net.In America and in Western Europe in general, many liberals are fanatical left wingers who try to impose their politically correct garbage on everybody. In France, the Commies and left wing Socialist won the elections a couple of years ago. And it's interesting that in America many intellectuals in universities are Communists and they try to brainwash students. In Eastern Europe it's different. In Romania, liberals are right wing. They believe in personal freedom, but they don't support propaganda for homosexuals and femminists and to glorify New Age gurus and other weirdos. Personal freedom is about hanging out until 1:00 AM, unlike before when during the left wing dictatorship in Romania I remember you were not allowed to be out on the street after 10 PM. Things like having your own passport, choosing whether or not you want to get married, have how many kids you want, if you want any, traveling where you want, if you can afford it, listening to the music you like, starting your own business, again if you can afford it, dressing how you like, not the one dictated by the Party, reading the books you want without censorship (including the Bible, which to many left wing hatemongers in the United States is the most hated book). So it's things like these, which many people here have been taking for granted for many decades.
I hope you can use some of this information and pass it on to your anti-Communist friends to post it on their websites. Let me know what you think.
God bless you, and long live Chile and long live Romania!
