There is the semi-romantic semi-nostalgic image of the cosy Mafia families, with their Dons that so much entertained us on the silver or shiny glass screens.
Then there are family values and family-centric policies of Governments and employers and whatnot. There are the Dynasties that filled pages of our history books in school years and beyond.
Then there are families that are much alike those illustrious (and/or sometimes bloody) Dynasties and surface in Romanian public, political and business life. Maybe not as romantic as the ones on silver screens or silver discs in our film collections...
The most recent and bordering-on-hilarity revelation comes from the reputable University of Iasi, where there are seven families employed at its Faculty of Biology. Out of the 62 staff members, 15 are related...
To add a particularly beautiful example of how Romanian legislation, rules etc. are in direct contradiction with everyday reality (namely laws and rules are simply worth the paper they are written on), the University in question has actually voted at the end of 2008 an internal rule which was 'anti-Dynasty'... in virtual unanimity...
Similar situation exists in the city of my former student years, Cluj - here the Faculty of Chemistry has a nice cloud of Dynasties on its staff list.
It would be very depressing to go beyond a few examples of such institutions who pay those salaries from public money... the list would be immense.
Just a few gems, as one can't resist: the National Civil Aeronautic Authority is riddled with close relatives holding high-powered jobs, including Tarom (the national airline company) and Romania's major airports. Young lads, who just took some exam or other, have been immediately put in co-pilot jobs... no comment.
National Energy Regulatory body is no different, nor is EnergoNuclear or Transelectrica, which are preoccupied with nationwide energy distribution and nuclear energy matters...
It is particularly interesting to follow the Dons and their Dynasties in such organisations and companies that spend public money and also in many cases are directly impacting public safety & welfare.
So we can return, in order for us to safeguard our health and reduce blood pressure, to the nostalgic cinematic imagery of families... and not peel any more layers from this wonderful giant onion...

Flu business
Flu, especially the new swine flu, H1N1, is major business in Romania. After all, why this wouldn't have a huge and corrupt money making scheme around it?
The beauty of the situation started to develop a few months ago. By introducing containment rules well after all other countries at similar pandemic levels moved from the fundamentally useless containment stage to treatment stage, Romania was still closing schools, introducing quarantine regulations and sealing off hospitals... This was very useful for having certain companies get certain contracts via certain channels in order to procure and sell absolutely useless masks for example in the tens of thousands.
In case there is doubt, the masks on sale were of the very everyday type, hugely overpriced, sold to hospitals with vast profit margins, and the punchline is that these masks had holes about 3 times the size of the virus in question. Essentially, buying and then using these masks against the flu virus was exactly as effective as buying and using a fishnet to protect one against rain...
But then in true proto-capitalist post-communist manner, Romanian authorities and the Government developed their flu business further.
The Government has launched a competition for distributors of the anti-viral pills (Tamivir and Zanamivir). On the surface, well, it was a normal affair, having companies bid for the lucrative rights of distributing the drug.
But the devil lies in the detail.
The requirements posed by the Government were astonishingly precise... the list described exactly how many warehouses of what size (in square meters) in how many and which exact cities the winner company has to have...
It also described with interesting details the exact required number of vans and response times the company has to have.
When confronted with the obvious fact that these interestingly precise numbers happen to favour very clearly a certain company, namely Europharm, the Government defended the list of requirements and pointed out that these details are actually just copied from its pandemic prevention handbook.
Actually, as one may guess oh so accurately, the mentioned 'book' contains no such details...
So essentially the flu pandemic is another typical Romanian affair... all the boxes are ticked, all the legal checkpoints satisfied, but under the surface, it is the same corrupt machination as everything else, simply putting money in certain pockets via biased and pre-set deals struck before any contract bid was filed by anyone.
The current bill is 20 million Euros, and one has to ask what proportion of that is purely channeled via such corrupt deals and so-called contract negotiations, while the death toll has risen, number of cases is shooting up exponentially and the Government is just interested in shady dubious money making on the back of the oh-so-scary virus...

Land of culture
Well, after 20 years of tragicomic inability to promote Romania in terms of culture & tourism (let's face it, the 'Western' crowds by and large only know imagery with horse-drawn carriages shot in God forgotten villages and orphanages with 12th century living conditions), the various 'cultural' departments of the Government had another valiant attempt... as miserable as all previous ones.
This time, at the Frankfurt Book Fair, they tried to present Romania via a glorious book entitled 'Romania - Land of Culture'.
The slight problem is that this book is riddled with literally nonsensical translations from Romanian to English, massacres of English language of such gory hilarity that only a translation software in the hands of some orangutans could produce...
A few juicy examples from the thousands of diabolical passages, from a book that took 30 000 Euros to publish... and yes, all quotes are exact:
A writer is described via the paragraph: "He published the following books: headlight, windows, pictures, poems, book romaneasca, 1980, Poems of love, Cartea Romaneasca, Bucharest, 1982, All, poems, book romaneasca, 1984; dream (in the next editions of Nostalgia) stories, Cartea Romaneasca, Bucharest, 1989, [...] dream chimera, critical study, Litear, Bucharest, 1991, transvestite, Roman...".
In case your eyes and head don't huer yet, let's continue with other gems...
A poet is described with "he debuted in 1994 with a volume of poetry naturally exaggerate".
Romania is said to be "deeply European through its Latinity", and that it was searching for its democracy since the Middle Ages. Wow...
Or the following pearl: "For the long running history, twenty years are only a fragment of cronology, but for the life of a people escaped from the totalitarian nights this period of time marks the renaissance of the country, the finding of the European brothers and cousins once again".
Well, in case you're still standing and not convulsing with laughter (and possibly anger), then you'll also be pleased that Romanian words like 'roman' (which means novel) have been translated to English as... you guessed it (?)... 'roman'. Which kind-of means something else, doesn't it?
Bucharest is described as "the only capital city in the world whose patrimony had ever been aggressed during peacetime, between the dictatorship years: '70s -'80s of the last century".
Oh dear.
This lexical soup was produced by the Ministry of Culture, but they blame the manufacturers...
It is just another grand act in the tragicomic opera of Wagnerian proportions, an opera that lasted already for 20 years and has proven that the Romanian Mafiosi running the country with zero respect for anything have also zero self-respect.
In 20 years, none of the myriad governments that Romania had could in any way promote the cultural and natural treasures of that country - why would they, as the only interest they have is how to rob the country blind.
I had a vague hope in the 1990s, namely that this Mafia will be able to realise that if they do a good job with promoting Romania abroad, they can attract more tourism money to divert to their own pockets...
But the Romanian so-called cultural elite in the so-called Government, including myriad ministers responsible for culture and tourism over the last 20 years, always pick (being ultimately the laziest Mafiosi on the face of the planet) the methods with least effort to commit fraud at astronomical scale.
So why would they put effort into thinking, strategies, promotions etc... if they can do what they did for 20 years in that country, with minimum effort?

Extremism
It is quite interesting that the UK Home Office is setting up now databases which will hold information on 'extremists'.
How someone gets labelled an extremist? Well, before the Home Office Secretaries that introduced a mountain of downright Stalinist abuses of privacy, human rights and so countless violations of civil liberties, it would have meant probably militant violent people and/or terrorists.
Now, in the post-Jacqui Smith era, it also means just about anybody who happened to attend demonstrations, protest rallies etc.
Let's face it, in the current (extensively commented) Orwellian UK society, where even EU forums have shunned us for the abuse of human rights in the name of 'anti-terrorist strategy', the only democratic means at one's disposal are such protests.
But now, while we also can't take picture of policemen (exactly like in a former communist dictatorship) without getting arrested under the Terrorism Act, but they can freely and sneakily take pictures of anybody in the crowd, such activity can land you in a whole lot of trouble and certainly you can end up in the new database.
Well, I haven't taken part in any demonstrations, as I find the entire thing totally futile in this so-called democracy where we lost complete control of any kind over those who elect... exactly as it is in the post-communist states.
But... I just wonder who is extremist in this context.
Recently a photographer in Poole was stopped from taking photos on a public beach (which had no people even) and was told he needs special permission from the city council.
The myriad published and furore-producing abuses of power from the British police under the so-called Terrorism Act, not to speak the abuse of power from stupid mini-Hitler overzealous security guards and jobsworths in the name of the same legislation, are too many to count by now.
Now this database is just adding to the arsenal of what is becoming a police state in front of our own eyes.

Questiontime for fascists
The fact that this week the BBC will give a platform for the leader of the fascist British National Party has caused a lot of debate online and offline...
Some say these horrid and unspeakably stupid people should not be given airtime... others that yes, after all, the BNP is a noteworthy political party and they should be invited along as any other party in the UK.
Now what I am about to say, well, write, needs to be put in context a bit. I grew up in a vehemently anti-minority and anti-human rights totalitarian regime. I swallowed countless ethnic discrimination measures and abuse in everyday life. After the Revolution, was treated to a pogrom organised by the Romanian far right in my home town. The fascist Great Romania party has been saying unimaginable vile stupidities since 1990... Ergo not for a moment do I in any way feel inclined to support revoltingly stupid and absolutely fascist people like the members and leaders of the BNP.
But...
BNP has seats in the European Parliament. It is one of the constantly mentioned political parties in Britain. And, thankfully, against their wishes, we live in a democracy where equality human rights do matter (unless they cross the boundaries of major political interests and power games).
So... I do think they should be invited to BBC's Questiontime programme, exactly as any other notable (for right or wrong reasons) party was and is and will be.
Yes, they are ignorant, vile and revolting. Yes, their leader and his entourage are amongst the stupidest people you can ever hear on TV or in the media. Yes, they fund animated films for kids, educating them in neo-Nazi ideology. Yes, they have scout movement to do the same to impressionable brains of kids sent to those camps by fascist parents.
But... again...
It is perhaps the biggest mistake to let them argue their vile case within the confines of their warped and demented audience.
It is a huge mistake to not bring them into the spotlight and pair them up with human beings.
Let us see just how idiotic their arguments are... Frankly, they are so incredibly stupid that it is just breathtaking to listen to them... they even, in a recent political stunt, kicked the Ghurkas... and famously many of their sympathisers went away from the debate with feelings that gee, these people are truly revolting.
So let's discuss their views. Let's have a debate, on national TV, on one of the most watched and reputable programmes on BBC...
Let uber-fascist Nick Griffin talk about their views... answer questions... debate with panelists on the programme...
There was no, and is no, better forum to expose their breathtaking ignorance, stupidity and extremism. Let's not send the BBC criticism for letting this happen - it's the best forum for showing what the BNP is.
With great regret, I can only wish that in Romania, Nick Griffins of that land would be exposed in this way...
Let's watch, fellow humans, how these animals make a fool of themselves, please tune in, it will be educational and entertaining at the same time...

Undercover
There is a fascinating article in one of the Romanian national papers - the claims are quite interesting and the facts speak for themselves.
The opinions voiced by former president Emil Constantinescu (one of the very few respectable politicians that country ever had) are presenting a scenario which, far from being unbelievable, are causing a major stir and demands for investigations.
To put it simply, it is about turning black into white - in the Romanian media, a metamorphosis carried out by large numbers of journalists who hold key positions and happen to be undercover exponents of various political circles and not just... some are officers of the SRI, which is the successor of the dreaded Securitate.
The spokesman of the SRI, the Romanian Service of Information, has himself admitted grudgingly that the SRI always had agents in various levels everywhere in the Romanian media organisations...
One example of the black turning white, during a process that relies on well-orchestrated manipulative distortions of facts and also happens to rely on the short term memory of Joe Public, is the Stolojan case.
Constantinescu brings up this example, as it is just superb... Theodor Stolojan used to manage the funds of the Securitate, had close links with Ceausescu's circles, while being considerably dim intellectually... over the years, he was transformed by a media campaign into a champion of freedom, an intellectual beacon.
Stoloja happened to become suddenly prime minister exactly during the time period when the Securitate's funds were distributed...
But the highly effective wash cycle works also on other, much bigger Romanian political figures... even that of the current president, Traian Basescu.
Basescu is a self-confessed collaborationist, on top of which he was an informer, a leader of a group that used to spy in the NATO zone, a person who was appointed by Elena Ceausescu herself... but over the years, he has become a freedom fighter, a champion of change, a leader for the free Romanian people...
Constantinescu gives numerous examples of how the manipulation worked, after all the facts remain facts, but the methods used by the press campaigns are not difficult to guess. They range from files that happen to 'escape' onto pages of national papers with perfect timing, even conversations of the Home Secretary have leaked onto the pages of newspapers... which is simply unthinkable without orchestrated press manipulation.
The former president simply states that Justice has been put on hold during Basescu's reign... Not one person was sentenced for corruption during the last 5 years, and Basescu is considered a symbol of the anti-corruption fight, while he himself has a 'blocked' file in the Supreme Court...
So... yes, Romania has remained unchanged, only some surfaces have been re-painted, the essence, as always stated, remained the same - especially when it comes to absolute & absolutely corrupt power at the top.

Reversals
Naturally, during the recession there was and is much talk about property prices in both Romania and UK, just to pick two countries one knows more about :)
House prices started to slightly increase in the UK over the last few months (giving rise to a lot of Labour-biased press coverage on how well the economy started to do... forgetting that it means nothing whilst banks are still not lending...). At the same time, Romania is seeing an interesting reversal phenomenon.
The price of old, communist-era block flats is currently 25-30% higher than those of newly built apartments. Knowing the quality of the glorious Ceausescu-era apartments, this is even more tragicomic.
The strange reversal, as in a quantum physics phenomenon, is due to the fact that the silly prices of the new apartments had to come down aggressively, as few can afford them in current Romanian economic climate. Also, banks are not that keen on loans there, either...
40-year-old apartments are being sold for 1600-odd euros per square meter... while brand new apartments scarep in at around 1200 euros per square meter...
Many property developers and building companies that try to sell the new apartments are choosing to sell with great losses, instead of not selling at all.
