It was just a little over two weeks ago that the DOGE team exposed what Samantha Power and her supposedly benevolent-minded, American gift basket-bearing progressive thugs at USAID were REALLY doing out there in the world with billions upon billions of US taxpayer dollars.
They were working to subvert democracy in foreign countries to their purposes under the now familiar banner of 'defending it.'
When, for example, a populist candidate, despite their best efforts to smear them as 'right-wing,' and similar political epithets, still managed to pull out a win, the undaunted USAID operatives might redouble their efforts in some other avenue of attack in order to ensure that candidate never saw the finish line.
Their machinations came to light in the aftermath of the start of the Romanian national election cycle, which saw a wildly popular, despite being publicly reviled, candidate shock the establishment by taking the first round last November. The gasps of horror rising from the European Union headquarters in Brussels to the braintrust in the basement of the USAID building in D.C. were audible. This could not stand.
A fellow named Georgescu, who was described as 'far right-wing' or 'ultra-nationalist' (depending on who needed to be scared out of voting for him the most), came charging up from behind and wound up ahead in the first round of voting.
And so it didn't.
...Obviously, that sort of populist result couldn't be allowed to remain standing.
So, amid fevered accusations of 'RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA!,' the Romanian Constitutional Court overturned the first round of elections due to 'foreign interference.' The stunning decision left an unpopular sitting president in place until things simmered down and a second round of elections could be scheduled.
When DOGE started digging, we found out how and why the Romanian papers were filled with nothing but reports of Călin Georgescu being a TOOL OF PUTIN (another dead giveaway). Biden's USAID had paid for the propaganda campaign to get rid of him.

Half a billion dollars from USAID went to an NGO who interfered in Romanian elections. So much money went to cancel Georgescu! True democracy! pic.twitter.com/d6XMsmeLxH
It worked.
SAVING DEMOCRACY BY CANCELING DEMOCRACY
On the 10th of February, thanks to the fallout from the scandal and election annulment, and in order to avoid a threatened impeachment, the Romanian president resigned.
Four days later, our vice president called the Romanians out on the carpet for their transparent throttling of democracy.
JD Vance on the Romanian election:

And then he hit them again this weekend.

But why would they want to rid themselves of Georgescu, to begin with? Was he another strongman who was truly aligned with the Kremlin?
Was he, in fact, a threat to the United States?
I'm not getting that impression. If you have a chance to listen to him, he comes off as a less flashy version of Argentina's Milei - a threat to the New World Order and Davos globalists. It doesn't help that he seems to admire Trump's gumption.

With what he says in this little snippet, I can see why he posed a threat not to Romanian democracy but to the rarified air inhaled by the Disney witch running the EU and everyone snarfing Wagyu sliders at Davos.
Călin Georgescu had solidified his lead heading into rescheduled May elections amid a furious backlash from outraged Romanians...
The Romanian people’s desire to vote for Calin Georgescu, evident in his strong showing in the November 2024 election and ongoing support for the May 2025 rerun, must not be denied.

Another angle.
A video has emerged capturing the moment of Călin Georgescu's arrest. In the footage, a plainclothes agent is seen stopping the car in which Georgescu was traveling and presenting an arrest warrant.

This was only hours after Mario Nawfal had interviewed Georgescu and then been warned to leave.
🚨🇷🇴 Now I understand why my legal team asked me to leave Romania before posting my interviews with Călin Georgescu and George Simion

They literally raided the homes of all of Călin’s supporters and taken him into custody minutes ago.
AND THIS IS AN EU AND NATO MEMBER!… https://t.co/odtyHO9U14
...Remember what former EU Commissioner Bretton said a few weeks ago: ‘What Was Done In Romania May Be Needed In Germany’
I hope you all see why @elonmusk, @jdvance and others have been so concerned about the developments in Romania. The EU establishment is jeopardizing democracy so they remain in power!
They raided dozens of supporters' homes, too. Forty-seven of them, to be precise.
This is insane. Romania arrested Calin Georgescu and raided the homes of dozens of his supporters with a host of trumped up charges ranging from racism and xenophobia to Russian collusion. They’re operating directly from the Hillary Clinton 2016 playbook. pic.twitter.com/8hPNAndsyB

Romanian Far-Right Candidate Georgescu Charged in Election Probe
Romanian prosecutors have charged Calin Georgescu, the frontrunner in May’s presidential election, in an investigation into his electoral campaign.
Georgescu faces six charges, including membership of a far-right and racist organization and providing a false statement about campaign financing, prosecutors said in a statement on Wednesday.
Get the message - 'far-right'?
The country's High Court says Georgescu is facing any number of possible charges, including incitement and planning a possible coup.
The High Court of Cassation and Justice has initiated criminal proceedings against Calin Georgescu for:
- Incitement to actions against the constitutional order
- Spreading false information
- False statements on campaign funding & assets
- Establishing or supporting fascist, racist, or xenophobic organizations
- Promoting individuals guilty of genocide & war crimes
- Affiliation with antisemitic organizations
Authorities stress this is an evidence-gathering stage and does not override the presumption of innocence.
Georgescu has been released under onerous conditions after being 'questioned' for several hours.
🚨🇷🇴BREAKING: GEORGESCU RELEASED UNDER JUDICIAL CONTROL—BANNED FROM MEDIA AND SOCIAL MEDIA

Calin Georgescu will be released, but under severe restrictions designed to silence him completely.

- Forbidden from creating social media accounts… https://t.co/kjd5RwEoGS pic.twitter.com/dq7Hs9vXXw
There it stands at the moment.
...Georgescu, who has denied all wrongdoing, on Wednesday accused authorities of behaviour reminiscent of Romania's communist past.
"The communist Bolshevik system is continuing its heinous abuse," Georgescu said on his Facebook account."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."
I could swear we've seen this movie before.
I also imagine there will be a nuclear freedom broadside coming from the Naval Observatory or even the White House at some point.
