Motivarea deciziei Curții Constituționale a României (CCR) din 6 decembrie 2024 explică detaliat anularea procesului electoral prezidențial din cauza unor neregularități majore care au afectat caracterul liber, corect și transparent al alegerilor. Iată principalele aspecte din motivare:
Motivele anulării alegerilor:
Manipularea votului și dezinformarea alegătorilor:
Alegătorii au fost influențați prin campanii de dezinformare organizate, derulate pe platformele digitale și prin utilizarea algoritmilor platformelor de social-media în mod netransparent.
Un candidat a beneficiat de promovare agresivă și tratament preferențial, eludând reglementările electorale.
Încălcarea legislației privind finanțarea campaniei electorale:
Un candidat a declarat un buget de campanie de „0 lei”, în contradicție cu amploarea vizibilă a campaniei desfășurate.
Finanțarea netransparentă și nedeclarată a afectat egalitatea de șanse între candidați.
Afectarea egalității de șanse:
Candidații adversari au fost dezavantajați de expunerea disproporționată a unui candidat pe rețelele sociale, creând un dezechilibru evident.
Atacuri cibernetice:
Documentele declasificate de Consiliul Suprem de Apărare a Țării (CSAT) indică atacuri cibernetice asupra infrastructurii IT&C care susține procesul electoral.
Consecințe și măsuri:
Anularea procesului electoral:
Toate operațiunile electorale desfășurate în baza hotărârilor guvernamentale privind alegerile prezidențiale au fost declarate nule.
Reluarea alegerilor:
Guvernul trebuie să stabilească o nouă dată pentru alegeri și să elaboreze un nou program electoral care să asigure respectarea principiilor democratice și constituționale.
Prelungirea mandatului președintelui în funcție:
Conform Constituției, președintele actual își va exercita mandatul până la depunerea jurământului de către noul președinte ales.
Semnificație:
Această decizie istorică reflectă angajamentul CCR de a proteja integritatea democratică a procesului electoral, subliniind importanța unui cadru electoral transparent, corect și imun la influențele externe. De asemenea, reafirmă necesitatea combaterii manipulărilor digitale și a dezinformării în era modernă.
Din documentele declasificate de CSAT reiese o serie de informații importante despre interferențele externe și atacurile cibernetice care au vizat procesul electoral din România. Conform rapoartelor furnizate de mai multe instituții de securitate (MAI, SRI, SIE, STS), există indicii clare că Rusia, posibil în colaborare cu alte entități, inclusiv China și platforma TikTok, a orchestrat campanii de influență și atacuri cibernetice pentru a favoriza un candidat specific, anti-NATO și pro-Rusia.
Puncte cheie din rapoarte:
Manipularea pe TikTok:
Campanii masive, coordonate, au fost derulate pe TikTok pentru promovarea candidatului Călin Georgescu, care a beneficiat de o creștere semnificativă a notorietății în ultimele săptămâni înainte de alegeri.
Au fost identificați influenceri plătiți și rețele de conturi false care au promovat mesaje pro-Georgescu și pro-Rusia, utilizând hashtag-uri și mesaje predefinite.
Atacuri cibernetice asupra infrastructurii electorale:
Infrastructura IT&C a fost ținta a peste 85.000 de atacuri cibernetice, utilizând tehnici avansate (SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting etc.). Sistemele SIMPV și SICPV gestionate de STS au fost vizate pentru alterarea datelor și crearea de breșe.
Credentialele platformelor oficiale de monitorizare a votului au fost exfiltrate și distribuite pe platforme de criminalitate cibernetică.
Campanii de influență coordonate de Rusia:
Rapoartele menționează utilizarea tacticilor de dezinformare, propagandă, deepfake-uri, și manipularea opiniei publice prin mesaje divizive și pro-Kremlin. Rusia a vizat candidați eurosceptici și anti-NATO, utilizând resurse semnificative și tehnologii avansate, inclusiv inteligență artificială.
Posibilă colaborare cu entități chineze:
Deși nu există dovezi clare în documentele analizate, implicarea TikTok, platformă cu legături la entități chineze, sugerează o posibilă colaborare în derularea campaniilor de influență.
Concluzii:
Decizia CCR de anulare a alegerilor și organizarea unui nou scrutin reflectă gravitatea situației. Atacurile cibernetice și campaniile de influență reprezintă un risc major pentru securitatea națională, iar măsurile luate subliniază necesitatea unei abordări ferme și coordonate pentru protejarea democrației și a suveranității țării.
Statele Unite și-au exprimat îngrijorarea cu privire la posibila interferență în alegerile prezidențiale din România, în urma dezvăluirilor Consiliului Suprem de Apărare a Țării (CSAT) despre atacuri cibernetice agresive de tip hibrid atribuite Rusiei. Aceste atacuri au vizat influențarea integrității procesului electoral românesc.
Departamentul de Stat al SUA a subliniat importanța investigării complete a datelor menționate în raportul CSAT pentru a asigura integritatea alegerilor din România. De asemenea, a reafirmat încrederea în instituțiile democratice românești și în capacitatea acestora de a gestiona astfel de influențe externe.
În plus, Statele Unite au avertizat că orice schimbare în politica externă a României, care ar îndepărta țara de alianțele occidentale, ar putea avea consecințe negative asupra cooperării în domeniul securității și ar descuraja investițiile americane în România.
Aceste declarații vin în contextul anulării de către Curtea Constituțională a alegerilor prezidențiale din România, pe fondul acuzațiilor de interferență rusă și manipulare a platformei TikTok în favoarea unui candidat pro-rus.
O analiză cuprinzătoare a rapoartelor declasificate care detaliază manipularea rețelelor sociale, atacurile cibernetice, influența rusă și provocările instituționale care afectează alegerile din România, evidențiind tacticile cheie, vulnerabilitățile și implicațiile geopolitice mai largi.
Documente declasificate privind alegerile din România
Rezumat Documentele declasificate oferă o imagine de ansamblu detaliată a strategiilor coordonate, actorilor și vulnerabilităților exploatate în timpul alegerilor prezidențiale din România din 2024. Ei descoperă o operațiune hibridă care implică atacuri cibernetice, manipulare a rețelelor sociale și campanii de propagandă. Accentul principal a fost pe amplificarea vizibilității și influenței candidatului Călin Georgescu, folosind în același timp dezinformarea pentru a submina procesele democratice. Descoperirile dezvăluie o interacțiune complexă între operațiunile cibernetice sponsorizate de stat, rețelele interne și internaționale și utilizarea abuzivă strategică a platformelor de socializare precum TikTok.
Puncte cheie 1. Manipularea rețelelor sociale (campanii centrate pe TikTok) Recrutarea influencerilor: Peste 100 de influenceri cu un total de 8 milioane de urmăritori au fost implicați fără să știe în promovarea lui Călin Georgescu prin hashtag-uri coordonate (#echilibrusiverticalitate, #prezidentiale2024). Campanii nemarcate: TikTok și alte platforme nu au reușit să aplice regulile de etichetare pentru conținutul politic, permițând diseminarea necontrolată a videoclipurilor și narațiunilor. Tactici replicate: Strategiile de campanie au reflectat îndeaproape operațiunile Rusiei în Ucraina și Moldova, punând accentul pe narațiuni țintite și coordonare ascunsă. 2. Atacuri cibernetice și vulnerabilități ale sistemelor informatice Infrastructura electorală vizată: Sistemele gestionate de Autoritatea Electorală Permanentă (AEP) și Serviciul Special de Telecomunicații (STS) au fost atacate cu metode sofisticate, cum ar fi SQL Injection și Cross-Site Scripting. Domeniul de aplicare al atacurilor: Peste 85.000 de atacuri cibernetice din partea entităților din 33 de țări au fost înregistrate în perioada electorală, care vizează furtul de date, compromiterea sistemului și dezinformarea. 3. Influența rusă și războiul hibrid Obiective strategice: Promovarea candidaților eurosceptici, pro-ruși și extremiști. Subminarea credibilității NATO și UE în România. Amplificarea diviziunilor sociale și erodarea încrederii publice în instituțiile democratice. Tactici de dezinformare: Deepfake-uri bazate pe inteligență artificială, imagini falsificate și narațiuni coordonate pe rețelele sociale pentru a răspândi informații controversate și înșelătoare. Utilizarea fermelor de troli, a influencerilor locali și a canalelor Telegram pentru a evita detectarea și a amplifica mesajele. 4. Implicarea grupurilor extremiste și criminale Grupurile extremiste interne, ultranaționaliștii și rețelele de crimă organizată au mobilizat resurse pentru a sprijini campania. Stimulente financiare: Plățile au fost coordonate prin companii fantomă și intermediari, asigurând anonimatul și complicând atribuirea. 5. Provocări instituționale Eșecuri în aplicarea legii: În ciuda încercărilor autorităților electorale române de a reglementa conținutul online, platforme precum TikTok nu au reușit să se conformeze pe deplin, permițând conținutului neautorizat să prospere. Riscuri mai largi: Poziția României ca membru NATO și UE a făcut-o o țintă critică pentru războiul hibrid care vizează destabilizarea regiunii.
Concluzie Documentele atașate evidențiază în mod colectiv vulnerabilitățile din procesele electorale din România și provocările mai largi ale contracarării amenințărilor hibride. Constatările subliniază: Sofisticarea războiului hibrid: Operațiunile au implicat o combinație de atacuri cibernetice, manipulare a rețelelor sociale și propagandă, demonstrând evoluția tacticilor de interferență electorală. Puncte slabe sistemice: Aplicarea insuficientă a reglementărilor platformei și vulnerabilitățile infrastructurii electorale au creat oportunități de exploatare. Implicații regionale și globale: Aceste acțiuni fac parte dintr-un model mai amplu de război hibrid rusesc, care vizează coeziunea NATO și UE, exploatând în același timp slăbiciunile sociale și instituționale din statele membre. Necesitatea contramăsurilor: Apărarea consolidată a securității cibernetice, reglementările mai stricte privind rețelele sociale și colaborarea internațională sunt necesare pentru a atenua astfel de amenințări în viitor. Această analiză cuprinzătoare subliniază nevoia urgentă de a consolida garanțiile democratice și de a contracara strategiile de război hibrid care vizează atât România, cât și regiunea europeană mai largă.
SRI: Serviciul Român de Informații Doc 1 – Raport CSAT declasificat privind alegerile din România
Rezumat Acest raport detaliază nereguli semnificative și activități suspecte asociate alegerilor prezidențiale din România din 2024, în special în ceea ce privește creșterea rapidă a popularității candidatului Călin Georgescu. Documentul evidențiază utilizarea rețelelor sociale, în special TikTok, pentru a orchestra o campanie coordonată la scară largă, care a folosit algoritmi, influenți și finanțare externă. În ciuda cheltuielilor minime declarate pentru campanie, au fost folosite resurse extinse și strategii sofisticate, ridicând întrebări cu privire la legalitatea și transparența procesului electoral. Puncte cheie 1. Campania TikTok și creșterea artificială a popularității Ascensiune rapidă: Călin Georgescu a crescut de la <1% la sfârșitul lunii octombrie 2024 la 22,94% în primul tur al alegerilor, atribuit în mare parte unei campanii TikTok foarte coordonate. Rețea coordonată: O rețea de 25.000 de conturi TikTok a fost activată cu două săptămâni înainte de alegeri, cu 797 de conturi create inițial în 2016, dar inactive până în noiembrie 2024. Exploatarea platformei: Algoritmii au fost manipulați prin hashtag-uri (#CG, #diaspora), emoji-uri și conținut pre-proiectat distribuit utilizatorilor prin Telegram. 2. Telegram ca instrument de coordonare Canalele Telegram precum @propagatorcg oferit instrucțiuni detaliate utilizatorilor cu privire la strategiile de creare și diseminare a conținutului, asigurând postări aliniate cu algoritmii TikTok. Numărul de membri ai canalului a crescut de la 1.088 la peste 5.000 într-o singură săptămână în perioada electorală. 3. Utilizarea influencerilor Influencerii TikTok proeminenți l-au susținut pe Georgescu, fie direct, fie subtil, încorporând etichete de campanie în postări altfel neutre. Mulți influenceri nu au dezvăluit natura plătită a susținerilor lor, încălcând normele de transparență și reglementările electorale. 4. Crearea de conturi de stat false Mai multe conturi TikTok au pretins în mod fals afilierea la instituții ale statului românesc, cum ar fi SRI (Serviciul Român de Informații), pentru a da credibilitate și a implica sprijin instituțional pentru Georgescu. 5. Mecanisme de finanțare În ciuda faptului că nu au declarat cheltuieli de campanie, fonduri substanțiale au sprijinit activitățile promoționale: Utilizatorul TikTok “bogpr” (identificat ca Bogdan Peschir) a donat peste 1 milion de euro, cu plăți verificate de 381.000 de dolari în timpul campaniei. Plățile către influenceri au fost canalizate prin FameUp și FA Agency, cu oferte de 1.000 de euro per videoclip promoțional. 6. Comportamentul TikTok și încălcările politicii TikTok a eliminat o parte din conținut legat de campanie în urma solicitărilor oficiale ale României, dar a permis ca o mare parte din acesta să rămână vizibil în România și în străinătate, încălcând legile electorale. Grupurile de reflecție europene au criticat politicile inadecvate ale TikTok pentru gestionarea dezinformării electorale și riscurile sistemice ale acesteia pentru discursul public. 7. Conexiuni cu entități externe Potențialele afilieri cu propaganda rusă (de exemplu, rețelele legate de Sputnik) și conexiunile cu entități legate de criptomonede sugerează influențe externe. Finanțarea campaniei a inclus conexiuni cu entități sud-africane, ridicând întrebări cu privire la implicarea străină. 8. Implicații mai largi Raportul subliniază problemele sistemice ale TikTok ca platformă pentru manipularea electorală, inclusiv lipsa de aplicare a propriilor politici și transparența în publicitate și partajarea datelor. Concluzie Activitățile documentate reflectă o campanie coordonată și intensivă de resurse pentru a crește artificial vizibilitatea și legitimitatea percepută a lui Călin Georgescu, încălcând legile electorale românești și evidențiind vulnerabilitățile platformelor de social media precum TikTok. Aceste constatări necesită reglementări mai stricte și cooperare internațională pentru a aborda interferența electorală în era digitală.
SRI: Serviciul Român de Informații Doc 2 – Raport CSAT declasificat privind alegerile din România
Rezumat Acest document evidențiază operațiunile cibernetice sponsorizate de stat care vizează infrastructura electorală românească și eforturile coordonate de a spori popularitatea lui Călin Georgescu pe TikTok în timpul alegerilor prezidențiale din 2024. Descoperă atacuri cibernetice sofisticate care vizează compromiterea sistemelor electorale, tratament preferențial pe platformele de socializare și campanii de marketing digital bine organizate. Rezultatele sugerează implicarea unui actor de stat cu resurse și expertiză semnificative în securitatea cibernetică și influența digitală.
Puncte cheie 1. Atacuri cibernetice asupra infrastructurii electorale Sisteme vizate: Atacatorii au vizat sisteme electorale critice gestionate de Autoritatea Electorală Permanentă (AEP) și Serviciul Special de Telecomunicații (STS), inclusiv: GIS Server: Serverul de cartografiere compromis al AEP conectat atât la rețelele interne, cât și la cele externe. Sisteme de monitorizare a alegerilor: Platforme precum SIMPV, SICPV și prezenta.roaep.ro au fost atacate, cu scopul de a modifica integritatea datelor și de a perturba disponibilitatea. Metode de atac: Injecție SQL: Codul rău intenționat a fost injectat în bazele de date pentru a accesa sau manipula datele. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Atacatorii au introdus scripturi rău intenționate în paginile web, afectând alți utilizatori. Amploare și domeniu de aplicare: Peste 85.000 de atacuri cibernetice au fost lansate, inclusiv în ziua alegerilor și în perioada postelectorală, folosind tehnici de anonimizare în 33 de țări. Evaluare: Atacurile au prezentat o abordare extrem de organizată, tipică actorilor sponsorizați de stat.
2. Tratamentul preferențial TikTok Vizibilitate sporită: TikTok nu a marcat conținutul lui Georgescu ca fiind electoral, permițând diseminarea pe scară largă și vizibilitatea semnificativă în comparație cu alți candidați ale căror postări au fost puternic filtrate. Încălcarea regulilor electorale: TikTok nu a respectat pe deplin solicitările Autorității Electorale Române (AEP) de a elimina sau bloca materialele de campanie neautorizate. Materialele de campanie au continuat să circule în România și în străinătate, chiar și după alegeri. Avertismente timpurii: TikTok a semnalat campania lui Georgescu ca fiind suspectă încă din 2020, dar nu a luat nicio măsură substanțială pentru a-i restricționa activitățile.
3. Campanie digitală coordonată Strategii sofisticate: Canalele Telegram și Discord au fost folosite pentru a coordona programele de postare și pentru a evita detectarea pe TikTok. Campania a evitat fermele de roboți, bazându-se în schimb pe conturi operate de oameni în diferite locații geografice pentru a ocoli detectarea. Mesajele au fost diseminate printr-o strategie de “roi”, creând iluzia unui sprijin organic. Expertiză: Campania a demonstrat o înțelegere avansată a algoritmilor și politicilor TikTok, folosindu-le pentru a maximiza impactul.
4. Posibila implicare a actorilor statali Resurse și tactici: Operațiunea a utilizat resurse și expertiză extinse, sugerând implicarea unui actor statal sau a unei entități foarte capabile. Fără amprente digitale legate de dispozitive sau conturi, indicând o planificare și o execuție meticuloasă. Firmă de marketing: O companie profesionistă de marketing digital a jucat un rol central, complicând și mai mult atribuirea.
5. Implicații mai largi Implicarea Partidului Suveranist: Campanii similare au fost identificate pentru nou-înființatul Partidul Oamenilor Tineri (POT), care l-a susținut pe Georgescu. Riscuri sistemice: Platformele de socializare precum TikTok prezintă riscuri semnificative pentru integritatea electorală din cauza aplicării slabe a propriilor politici și a lipsei de transparență. Incidentul evidențiază vulnerabilitățile infrastructurii electorale a României și amenințarea tot mai mare a operațiunilor de influență cibernetică.
Concluzie Documentul subliniază un efort pe mai multe niveluri de a manipula opinia publică și de a perturba procesul electoral din România prin atacuri cibernetice, influență pe rețelele de socializare și campanii de dezinformare bine coordonate. Dovezile sugerează implicarea unui actor statal, ridicând îngrijorări serioase cu privire la securitatea electorală și rolul rețelelor sociale în procesele democratice.
SIE: Serviciul de Informații Externe – Raport CSAT declasificat privind alegerile din România
Rezumat Acest document detaliază strategiile de război hibrid ale Rusiei care vizează procesul electoral al României, precum și eforturile sale mai largi de a submina democrațiile occidentale. Acesta evidențiază utilizarea de către Moscova a atacurilor cibernetice, a campaniilor de dezinformare și a manipulării opiniei publice pentru a eroda încrederea în instituțiile democratice, a amplifica diviziunile sociale și a promova candidații pro-ruși sau extremiști. Raportul subliniază complexitatea și sofisticarea crescândă a acestor tactici, cu un accent semnificativ pe utilizarea platformelor de social media și a creării de conținut bazată pe inteligență artificială.
Puncte cheie 1. Strategiile de interferență electorală ale Rusiei Istoricul implicării: Rusia are o istorie documentată de interferență în alegerile la nivel global, inclusiv în alegerile prezidențiale din SUA din 2016, și continuă să folosească tactici similare în întreaga Europă. Obiective: Erodarea încrederii în instituțiile democratice. Amplificarea diviziunilor din cadrul societăților. Susțineți candidații și partidele pro-ruse, naționaliste sau eurosceptice. Metode: Studii sociologice pentru identificarea vulnerabilităților opiniei publice și a sistemelor electorale. Campanii de propagandă agresivă folosind conținut generat de inteligență artificială. Crearea de narațiuni divizive, care vizează adesea politicile NATO și UE.
2. Tactici de manipulare online Social Media și AI: Utilizarea extensivă a platformelor precum Telegram, TikTok, Facebook și VKontakte pentru a disemina propaganda. Utilizarea instrumentelor AI pentru a produce conținut multimedia de înaltă calitate, inclusiv deepfakes, pentru a induce în eroare și a manipula publicul. Coordonarea rețelelor de troli și a influencerilor locali pentru a amplifica narațiunile pro-rusești. Narațiuni țintite: Discreditați conducerea europeană și NATO. Promovarea temerilor legate de declinul securității și a instabilității economice. Subminează sprijinul pentru Ucraina și o portretizează ca pe o forță destabilizatoare.
3. România ca țintă cheie Amenințare percepută: Rusia vede România ca pe un aliat NATO care îi amenință direct securitatea din cauza găzduirii de active militare americane și a sprijinului său pentru Ucraina. Acțiuni ostile: Atacuri cibernetice și scurgeri de informații care vizează infrastructura și sistemele electorale românești. Narațiuni menite să încurajeze neîncrederea în alianțele NATO și UE. Afirmații false de ambiții teritoriale împotriva țărilor vecine, cum ar fi Moldova și Ucraina.
4. Campanii de dezinformare Amplificarea narativă: Distribuirea de conținut care dezbină prin campanii coordonate. Utilizarea de imagini și videoclipuri manipulate sau decontextualizate pentru a crea frică și panică. Grupuri țintă: Manipularea specifică demografică, concentrându-se în special pe populațiile rurale, religioase și vulnerabile din punct de vedere economic. Exploatarea nemulțumirilor culturale și sociale pentru a semăna discordie. Exemple de tehnici: Postarea încrucișată a propagandei pe mai multe platforme folosind aceeași rețea de conturi. Asocierea incidentelor false cu refugiații ucraineni sau mișcările de rezistență pentru a submina sprijinul pentru Ucraina.
5. Context geopolitic mai larg Legătura cu Moldova și Ucraina: Campaniile paralele de dezinformare din Moldova au avut ca scop destabilizarea guvernelor pro-occidentale. Eforturile de a eroda solidaritatea europeană față de Ucraina prin promovarea nemulțumirilor sociale și economice în țările NATO. Propagandă localizată: Mobilizarea influencerilor locali pentru a promova narațiunile Kremlinului sub masca mișcărilor de bază.
Concluzie Raportul dezvăluie un efort bine coordonat și intensiv de resurse al Rusiei de a influența alegerile și opinia publică din România, parte a strategiei sale mai ample de subminare a coeziunii NATO și UE. Prin exploatarea progreselor tehnologice și a platformelor de socializare, Rusia încearcă să erodeze stabilitatea democratică, să amplifice diviziunile sociale și să slăbească sprijinul pentru alianțele occidentale. Acest lucru evidențiază nevoia urgentă de contramăsuri solide pentru a aborda amenințările hibride și a proteja procesele democratice.
Ministerul Afacerilor Interne – Raport CSAT declasificat privind alegerile din România
Rezumat Documentul final subliniază modul în care manipularea rețelelor de socializare, în special prin TikTok, a fost folosită pentru a influența alegerile prezidențiale din România din 2024. Acesta detaliază o campanie caracterizată prin promovarea ascunsă a lui Călin Georgescu folosind influenceri și hashtag-uri coordonate, care oglindesc tacticile văzute în operațiunile rusești din Ucraina. Campania a folosit micro-influenceri și conținut promoțional nemarcat, sugerând o orchestrare externă cu legături cu grupuri extremiste și criminale. Raportul subliniază integrarea manipulării rețelelor sociale cu strategii de război hibrid pentru a destabiliza procesele democratice.
Peste 100 de influenceri cu 8 milioane de urmăritori au fost implicați fără să știe în promovarea lui Călin Georgescu. Hashtag-urile de campanie precum #echilibrusiverticalitate, #prezidentiale2024 și #unliderpotrivitpentrumine au fost utilizate intens pe TikTok, Instagram și Facebook. TikTok nu a reușit să implementeze instrucțiunile Biroului Electoral pentru etichetarea conținutului campaniei. Tactici de campanie:
Influencerii au fost plătiți în funcție de numărul de urmăritori (de exemplu, 390 RON pentru 20.000 de urmăritori). Mulți influenceri nu știau de promovarea candidatului, ceea ce a dus la reacții publice odată ce campania a fost expusă.
2. Asemănări cu tacticile rusești Replicarea campaniilor anterioare:
Campania a semănat cu operațiunea Rusiei “Fratele lângă frate” din Ucraina, folosind strategii de coordonare și teme narative identice. Creatorii de conținut au urmat reguli stricte privind sincronizarea, coloanele sonore, emoji-urile și structurile narative video. Coordonare sub acoperire:
Campania a implicat metode de a evita detectarea, inclusiv ștergerea tuturor urmelor campaniei online după execuție.
3. Legături cu rețele extremiste și criminale Actori cheie:
Figuri proeminente asociate cu ideologii extremiste de extremă dreapta, organizații criminale și culte religioase au fost implicate în mobilizarea sprijinului pentru campanie. Aceste grupuri aveau o istorie de promovare a narațiunilor pro-rusești, antisemite, anti-NATO și anti-Ucraina. Beneficiarii campaniei:
Campania a fost orchestrată prin intermediari, inclusiv “companii fantomă”, care au coordonat plățile și liniile directoare ale influencerilor.
4. Implicații mai largi Operațiuni transfrontaliere:
Campanii similare din Moldova și Ucraina dezvăluie un model regional de interferență electorală. Succesul campaniei din România evidențiază vulnerabilitățile platformelor de social media față de operațiunile de influență sub acoperire. Erodarea încrederii democratice:
Integrarea elementelor extremiste și a campaniilor de manipulare riscă să submineze încrederea în instituțiile democratice și în procesele electorale.
Concluzie Raportul oferă dovezi clare ale unei campanii ascunse, bine coordonate, care utilizează rețelele sociale pentru a influența alegerile din România din 2024. Această campanie reflectă o strategie sofisticată aliniată cu practicile de război hibrid, combinând manipularea socială, narațiunile extremiste și tacticile cibernetice pentru a destabiliza procesele democratice. Acesta subliniază necesitatea unor garanții și contramăsuri mai puternice pentru a proteja alegerile de ingerințele externe și de exploatarea rețelelor sociale. STS: Serviciul de Telecomunicații Speciale – Raport declasificat al CSAT privind alegerile din România
Rezumat Documentul declasificat de la Serviciul de Telecomunicații Speciale (STS) din România oferă o analiză cuprinzătoare a securității, implementării și funcționalității infrastructurii IT&C care susține procesul electoral. Acesta subliniază măsurile luate pentru a asigura integritatea și transparența sistemului de vot, în special sistemele SIMPV (monitorizarea prezenței alegătorilor) și SICPV (centralizarea rezultatelor votului). În ciuda îngrijorărilor publice și a rapoartelor privind amenințările cibernetice, raportul concluzionează că nu au existat dovezi de acces neautorizat la date, manipulare sau vulnerabilități ale sistemului care să afecteze alegerile prezidențiale din 2024. Puncte cheie 1. Infrastructura informatică și cadrul juridic SIMPV (Sistemul de monitorizare a prezenței alegătorilor) și SICPV (Sistemul de centralizare a rezultatelor votului) au fost sisteme cheie utilizate în timpul alegerilor. Ambele sisteme au funcționat conform unor linii directoare legale stricte (Legile 115/2015 și 370/2004) și au fost susținute de STS. Sistemele au funcționat pentru a preveni frauda la vot, a centraliza datele și a asigura transparența, cu funcționalități precum agregarea datelor în timp real și validarea semnăturilor digitale. 2. Măsuri de securitate și amenințări cibernetice Măsurile preelectorale extinse au inclus: Evaluări ale riscurilor de securitate cibernetică. Configurații securizate și transferuri de date criptate. Tehnologia blockchain pentru trasabilitatea și integritatea datelor. Mai multe atacuri cibernetice, inclusiv DDoS, au fost atenuate cu succes fără a afecta funcționalitatea sistemului. Infrastructura, inclusiv situl public static (prezenta.roaep.ro), a rămas operațională și sigură pe tot parcursul alegerilor. 3. Implementarea blockchain Blockchain a fost utilizat pentru a spori reziliența și transparența, asigurând integritatea datelor prin ancorarea semnăturilor digitale în infrastructura europeană de servicii blockchain (EBSI). 4. Performanță operațională Sistemele au susținut peste 19.000 de secții de vot, procesând datele alegătorilor în siguranță și eficient. Toate procesele au respectat liniile directoare legale, fără a fi raportate întreruperi ale sistemului sau anomalii de performanță. Publicarea în timp real a rezultatelor alegerilor a asigurat transparența, cu înregistrări electronice și pe hârtie validate încrucișat pentru acuratețe. 5. Validare independentă Observatorii, reprezentanții societății civile și entitățile politice nu au raportat probleme cu sistemele. Orice potențiale îngrijorări cu privire la modificarea datelor ar putea fi verificate în funcție de înregistrările blockchain și documentația fizică pe hârtie. 6.

Throughout history, humanity has built different systems to organize society, govern people, and shape our futures. Today, we explore three of the most impactful political systems: Democracy, Communism, and Dictatorship. Democracy. It is the voice of the people, the foundation of freedom, and the celebration of diversity. In a democracy, power rests with the citizens, who elect leaders to represent their interests. Ideas compete, voices are heard, and every vote matters. This system thrives on participation, transparency, and accountability Yet, democracy is not without flaws. Its strength lies in its complexity, but this same complexity can lead to delays, debates, and division. Still, it is a system that places trust in the collective wisdom of its people
Aspect
Democracy
Communism
Dictatorship
Definition
A system where power is vested in the people, often through elected representatives.
An ideology advocating for a classless society where resources are owned collectively.
A system where power is concentrated in the hands of one person or a small group.
Political Power
Distributed among elected representatives or directly by citizens.
Often centralized, typically controlled by a single party.
Centralized, often controlled by one individual or a small ruling group.
Economic System
Generally supports capitalism or mixed economies.
Advocates for state control or collective ownership of production and distribution.
Can vary; often uses state control to maintain power.
Individual Freedom
High degree of personal freedom and civil liberties.
Focuses on equality but may limit personal freedoms for the collective good.
Limited or nonexistent, with suppression of dissent.
Role of Elections
Free and fair elections are a cornerstone of governance.
Elections (if held) are controlled by the ruling party to maintain power.
Often no genuine elections; power is taken or inherited.
Equality
Equality of opportunity, but outcomes depend on individual effort.
Emphasizes equality of outcomes through redistribution.
Equality is not a focus; elites often enjoy privileges.
Decision-Making
Decentralized, with input from various branches of government and the public.
Centralized, often made by the ruling party or leaders.
Highly centralized; decisions are made by the dictator or ruling group.
Media Freedom
Free and independent press is encouraged.
Media is often state-controlled to promote ideology.
Media is controlled or censored to maintain power.
Examples
United States, India, Germany
Former USSR, Cuba, North Korea (in practice)
Nazi Germany (Hitler), North Korea (Kim Jong-un)
Strengths
Encourages participation, innovation, and accountability.
Focus on reducing wealth disparities and class struggles.
Efficiency in decision-making; strong control over policy execution.
Weaknesses
Can be slow due to bureaucracy; susceptible to populism.
Often leads to lack of innovation and inefficiency.
High potential for abuse of power and oppression.
Communism. At its core, it seeks to eliminate inequality and create a classless society. Resources are shared, and production is controlled collectively for the benefit of all. Born from the ideals of Karl Marx, communism envisions a world where everyone contributes according to their ability and receives according to their need. But there is a hidden truth. In communism, the people do not choose the system—it is imposed upon them. The system invents special institutions and laws to maintain its power, ensuring no change can threaten its authority. Over time, it perfects what can only be called the Prison of Thoughts—a framework designed to limit what people believe is possible, suppressing dissent and locking society into its ideology. Though the dream is equality, the reality often falls short, with those in control enjoying privileges denied to others
Dictatorship. A system where power resides in the hands of one individual or a small group. Decisions are swift, authority is absolute, and dissent is crushed. The dictator promises stability, security, and unity, often in times of crisis. Yet, the price of stability is freedom. In a dictatorship, fear replaces choice, and the will of the few dominates the lives of the many. Corruption festers, and power clings tightly to those at the top. But here too, the people have no choice. Dictatorships, like communism, create institutions and legal frameworks to protect their rule. They silence opposition, control information, and perfect the Prison of Thoughts. Through fear, propaganda, and surveillance, the system ensures its survival by making people believe there is no alternative. The price of stability is freedom. In a dictatorship, the will of the few dominates the lives of the many
These systems reflect humanity’s eternal struggle to find balance: freedom and order, equality and ambition, unity and individuality. In democracy, the people decide. In communism and dictatorship, it is the system that decides, constructing barriers to ensure its permanence
1. Philosophical Foundation
Democracy: Based on the idea of political equality, individual freedom, and collective decision-making through participation. Rooted in liberal philosophy and ideas of fairness and accountability.
Communism: Inspired by Marxist ideology, it seeks to eliminate class distinctions and redistribute resources for societal equality, emphasizing collective over individual interests.
Dictatorship: Rooted in the consolidation of power, often justified by the need for stability, security, or a superior authority figure to guide the state.
2. Political Power Dynamics
Democracy: Power is decentralized and diffused across institutions like the legislature, executive, and judiciary. Citizens influence decisions through elections, protests, and petitions.
Communism: Political power is centralized in a single party or group, which claims to represent the working class or proletariat. Dissent is often suppressed to maintain ideological unity.
Dictatorship: Absolute power lies with one person or a small group. Political opposition is usually outlawed or tightly controlled.
3. Role of Individual vs. Collective
Democracy: Emphasizes individual rights and freedoms. People are free to express themselves, own property, and choose their leaders.
Communism: Prioritizes collective welfare over individual desires. Personal property is replaced by collective ownership to reduce inequalities.
Dictatorship: Individual freedoms are subordinated to the will of the ruler or ruling elite. The state dictates personal and public life extensively.
4. Economic Organization
Democracy: Allows for a variety of economic systems (capitalism, socialism, or mixed economies). The market often plays a central role, with governments intervening as needed.
Communism: Aims for a planned economy where the state controls production, distribution, and resources to achieve equality.
Dictatorship: Economic systems vary. Some focus on state control, while others may embrace capitalism to benefit elites. Economic policies are shaped to maintain power.
5. Social and Cultural Impact
Democracy: Promotes diversity, cultural pluralism, and innovation by allowing freedom of thought and expression.
Communism: Often enforces a uniform cultural ideology to align with the state’s goals, which may limit artistic and intellectual diversity.
Dictatorship: Stifles cultural expression that contradicts the regime’s narrative. Propaganda is commonly used to glorify leadership and ideology.
6. Media and Information Control
Democracy: Media operates freely (ideally), serving as a watchdog and platform for diverse viewpoints.
Communism: Media is state-controlled, ensuring alignment with the party’s ideology. Independent journalism is rare.
Dictatorship: Media is tightly censored, with propaganda dominating the narrative to maintain control.
7. Strengths
Democracy:
Encourages accountability and transparency.
Provides a platform for innovation and adaptability.
Promotes civil liberties and human rights.
Communism:
Reduces class disparities (in theory).
Focuses on long-term goals rather than short-term political gains.
Provides universal healthcare, education, and welfare.
Dictatorship:
Decisions are made quickly without bureaucratic delays.
Can maintain order and stability during crises.
Enables large-scale projects without public opposition.
8. Weaknesses
Democracy:
Susceptible to populism and manipulation by powerful interest groups.
Slow decision-making due to bureaucracy and consensus-building.
Can lead to economic and social inequalities if not regulated.
Communism:
Often fails to achieve true equality; bureaucratic elites emerge.
Suppresses personal freedoms and innovation.
Leads to inefficiency in resource allocation due to lack of market dynamics.
Dictatorship:
High risk of corruption and abuse of power.
Suppresses dissent, leading to potential unrest or revolution.
Lacks checks and balances, resulting in poor decision-making.
9. Historical Examples
Democracy:
Successful: The United States (despite challenges), Scandinavian countries like Sweden and Norway.

Summary
Communism = There is a hidden truth. In communism, the people do not choose the system—it is imposed upon them. The system invents special institutions and laws to prevent change and maintain its power. People have no choice but to watch as the system perfects what can only be called the Prison of Thoughts—a framework designed to control not just actions, but even ideas. Over time, it traps the human spirit, suppressing creativity, dissent, and the very possibility of choice Dictatorships, like communism, invent institutions and legal frameworks to preserve their authority. They silence opposition, control information, and perfect their own Prison of Thoughts. Through fear, propaganda, and surveillance, they ensure that freedom remains out of reach. The issue is not about how these systems evolve. It is about how people can become free from systems that imprison them. Systems that suppress voices, crush dissent, and deny individuals the right to express their thoughts and vote for what they truly want. No system can evolve if it shuts down leaders of the opposition. By silencing dissent, it locks itself in stagnation, unable to adapt, unable to progress
These systems reflect humanity’s eternal struggle to find balance: freedom and order, equality and ambition, unity and individuality. In democracy, the people decide. In communism and dictatorship, the system decides—and it decides to build walls of control and fear, walls designed to last forever
The question is no longer which system is best. The question is whether we, as people, can break free from systems that are perfecting themselves—not to serve us, but to control us. The question is whether we can protect the right to think, the right to express, and the right to choose. For no system, however grand, can survive if it sacrifices the humanity of its people.
“There Is No One Truth in War” Ken Burns (what if we have permanent hidden wars ? see details bellow)
We got Nixon, installing the microphones inside the opposition party offices, and everyone was happy to get rid of the Devil. The journalists received a Pulitzer Prize.
But the big success comes from a secret man, who started one day to work for the American people. He is known as Deep Throat, and after many years, we discovered that he was a super executive at the FBI. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Throat_(Watergate)
The problem is different.
After 40 years, the USA gave apologizes to Angel Merkel for listening to her phones, for 10+ years. So, nothing has been solved, because we did not solve the general problem that applies to all the parties in the world, we did not solve the trick and thievery that governments apply with copy-paste all over the world. Additionally, most of the countries, are also colonies at the intersection of empires, and everybody uses franchises that worked for other countries, “Original Democracies” used to control colonies.
This means that the great award-winning journalist has a bigger enigma to solve because he was dealing with the symptoms of the disease, not the problem.
We have to deal with this colossal confusion.
We do not fix anything by attacking people, while behind our work, systems are becoming more and more stupid because of the genetic laws that develop them in a strange direction.
“Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time” Churchill
What can we do? :
1. Start to directly vote, using the Internet, for suppliers of large projects. If we do that, the companies who are subscribed to government contracts will start focusing on the quality of work, not on lobby, briberies and other stuff.
Until now, our Democracy looks like “The Democracy through Representatives that Represent Only Themselves” and is time for a more “Direct Democracy“.
How to find these projects? Well, Big Four calls this audit method “show me your project with the largest value contracted (beware of the intentional split projects), then the next one …”
If Coca Cola will build a bridge it is a billion brand at stake. The government has nothing to lose, no matter what they do. It is a different mentality.
Do we have some previous experience? Yes – there are countries where people can choose what to be done to a 1-2% fraction of their taxes (Romania, Italy, …). It will be nice to see what they voted for until now.
2. Start Big Four audit on our employees’ activities (read The Government, Senate, The House of Representatives,… Technically they are our employees, see an analogy here from the movie The Wolf of Wall Street. The text in the movie is “Sweetheart you got my money taped on your body, so technically you work for me”)
The Wolf of Wall Street movie clip
I ask an employer of Big Four, who is into forensic activities if they ever checked Government activities, but it was just a rhetorical question. They will never do that even if they find 1000 files at their door, it is an unwritten procedure to look the other way.
3. Business efficiency. All our companies are well developed and budgeted, starting with efficiency in mind, only this other company “of ours”, The Government and other similar institutions, are always growing and raising taxes to support the growth. The first Party who will stop this grow will lose the election as not being able to compete, so we are paying more and more taxes, only to feed our big dinosaurs, we work 4 to 6 months per year to support them.
See Tax Freedom Day on Wikipedia
Instead of impeaching our presidents and governments for growing taxes and not respecting the promises from electoral campaigns we do it for inappropriate relationships, talking with Putin and installing microphones (which they will keep doing, no matter what 🙁 )
4. Direct and fair penalties.
Companies have direct responsibilities for their mistakes, for the mistakes of their employees. Parties have no responsibilities.
We read in the newspapers that “Apple was penalized by X with Y millions of USD because he did Z”.
It is time to read about the following
– The Party that proposed a man who has damaged/stolen State X to pay the damage (and to be paid, by the person who did it, same amount, also)
– The fines that the companies get because they did something wrong, should be also paid by the Parties who make mistakes (I never heard of bankrupt Parties, are they so good? Statistics show a lot of bankruptcy for companies, are Parties living outside math or is different stuff here, to live irresponsible on people taxes, and other bad things ?)
– I want to see in the Party’s resume all the fines and the condemned deeds – They get away too easily with “We regret how bad Y was and we exclude him from The Party – we know nothing about it” (when in fact half of the campaign posters where paid by that Y)
Who will insure a Party for malpractice?
This practice was used in Venetian Republic (the longest that we know, with over 1000 years of existence). A doge was secretly acting against the Republic and in their Parliament room he received a black rectangle instead of a portrait. This means that in the long list of portraits on the ceiling there is a black gap.
Intelligence General Ion Mihai Pacepa started to write a Black Book for Romania, but the book was caught in a political war for power in Eastern Europe colonies. I hope that we will wake up one day and write an unbiased history (Even The USA cannot have an unbiased history, and Donald Trump keeps some JFK files out of public eyes, even after decades). What kind of animals are we? Or a better question could be “What did we invented and developed on our space ship ?” We are curious about what Artificial Intelligence will do with Humans, but the truth is that the worst things were already invented thousands of years ago – we have a history of programming, developing and maintaining strange DNA systems, on top of Humanity, long before Turing was born.
5. The Exchangers – History is the story of people helping each other to conquest and maintain power How things are done in the background – Take a glimpse inside, by watching this video, or even better – watch the whole “La Piovra” TV series La Piovra (The Octopus)
Or read this book, written by one of our Prime Ministers – “Pe Contrasens” Radu Vasile. Radu saw the tragic difference between the ideals that any country and movement are promoting and what The Governments really do – nonstop “exchanges”. I remember that I saw something similar in “The House of Cards” (I will be back here …)
6. If Mercedes (Daimler) is bribing governments around the world in order to keep it’s company afloat it means that we have an even bigger issue with our systems Mercedes (Daimler) is bribing the Governments
I need time to understand this, because Mercedes is our top standard of quality, for both the cars and the people that are working there. Why people who can not sleep without knowing that they delivered exquisite quality work for their company and the final products need bribery? How bad the governments and The Parties really are? Update – Sweden telecom giant Ericsson will pay over $1 billion to settle US corruption charges ericsson-us-corruption-settlement
It looks that the super sales managers that these giants are employing are super talented at bribing Governments and other large organizations. USA found a similar pattern during the 2008-2009 financial crisis investigations (people were rotating from governments to rating agencies and to investment banks, creating a small circle of corruption that almost shut down The Planet). I remember I had the same shock when I saw a picture of Lee Iacocca, wearing a strange masonic costume (Knights of Malta) at a meeting at where he was accused of handpicking his suppliers – let me find that picture for you – see link below) Knights of Malta
7. How much will Political Parties steal from Romania or other countries
I found the right answer, see video
Confession of a former Mayor
“I can’t believe Mr. Mayor that we have nothing left to steal here at the City Hall? Did the ones before us took all, really all?” a former Mayor was asked by one of his City Hall counsels
8. Do we still have Kings ? Do we still have king’s systems? Did they become better than kings or turned back to being kings? What are the real differences?
“The powerful have always preyed on the powerless, that’s how they became powerful in the first place.”
Tyrion Lannister (George R.R. Martin)
We may be running after the wrong targets. We killed the kings but the society remains like in an article written before the French Revolution. It means that this is the template we keep organizing ourselves while we are in the dark :-(. See the story here The Third Estate
“If you split all the money in the world, evenly, between humans, in a short period, it will go again to the hands of 1%”. Our society is “Wreckable” (see second 30 in the movie), and some people are breaking it at breakfast
9. Mentality – Le Meteque
Companies’ survival is related to your training for exquisite customer care and customer orientation mentality. Companies’ survival is connected to teaching you to work long hours. Our mentality is outstanding standards and customer care.
Then it is your turn to be served by your employees, to receive a service that is already paid, that is mandatory to be paid and you are treated like a pariah (metic, meteque). How do you feel ?. How do you feel for not having the option to choose another supplier for bureaucracy services?
How do you feel when they tell you things like
– “You have the right to one question. So what is your question ?” (even when it is their mess)
– Sorry but there is a mistake in our procedure and we can not deduct that expenses
– Sorry but there is no double taxation treaty, you must pay your taxes in 2 or 3 countries
– Sorry but we only recognize your income, not the mortgage direct related to the income.
(Companies are treated differently so remember to become a company – if governments are creating and supporting companies, be one, to get better tax treatments – see richdad.com for why, how and what type of company you should choose)
This is not a space ship that belongs to Humanity but to the companies created by us. At least this is the feedback that I got from this Black Box called Democracy ( ! Democracy through Representatives that Represent Only Themselves !)

10.2. A photo of how the prosecutors, judges, and lawyers are prepared by communist forces. The photo depicts a group exiting their class next to a mountain villa.
I saw it but I ignore it at that time. (update – found it recently – now it is your turn to find the pictures from your country – keep searching is about a receipt that is borrowed between empires) It is AI job to find it again, or your job (I will come back here),
Anyway you will need confessions and stories from these guys (from each country :-()
10.3. The Future The Universe is not on our side. The Universal Justice is not on our side.
If you don’t believe me, ask The Dinosaurs. The real ones who’s skeleton you can find in museums.
The Universe killed them all with one stone. Too big for them, peanuts for The Universe.
….
OOOOO ! We can not ask the Dinosaurs. They are all dead.
P.S. If you forget everything that I ever write just keep in mind this
“Take care that no one will ever say in The Future, ‘We can not ask Humanity, there is No One left'”
“Take care that somewhere in The Future someone can still ask questions about The Universe, us or anybody else”
The real question should be “How can we survive in a pulsating Universe that is blowing completely from time to time ?”
Starting point = A dying planet next to a nice star, that will explode in The Future.
“All the other things are Pyrrhic Wars (Another victory like this and we are lost (A Smart General)) ”
“Another such victory and I come back to Epirus alone.
(Ne ego si iterum eodem modo uicero, sine ullo milite Epirum reuertar)”
Orosius

Look at this old story and compare it with what we are doing now Cain_and_Abel.
11. Saddam Hussein tribe rules are ruling The World
I saw a movie about Saddam Hussein and they present their tribal rules “Do not steal or kill inside your tribe”. And no other rule about this.
The more you look at the world, the more you see that it is ruled by the same tribal idea. The only difference is that we have different kinds of tribes, geographical or virtual and somehow invisible.
12. A KGB / Securitate General was a hero for 1 million people in Romania until 1989.
After the Romanian People Revolution (1989) he is not a hero. I did not see any statue, yet.
How can you explain that?
How do you think the media and books are controlled by empires?
I started to figure it out … to be continued
From the memory of the pages of “Red Horizons” red by Free Europe Radio during the Cold War to Angela Merkel, mourning each year at a grave of a German “traitor” that had the courage to fight Hitler, you will find in Pacepa’s books that that history has “pedagogical lies” and “imperial lies” that keep your brains in “artificial prisons”.
Generally speaking, only those who do not want to find out, do not find out.
Thank you for all these great books, and other things that will be revealed only in the future, from other centuries, backward.
“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” Henry Adams
13. What is in the mind of a Politician (The Exchangers)?
Recently I heard very sad rhetorical confessions like
“Trust the current political class! She is only thinking about her future!”
“The family is the small homeland and the homeland is the big family! Being a strange type of patriots, too often politicians are serving the little country first”
…
Looking into the matter one can see that there are also intermediate levels that must also be served (parties, groups of various types, and degrees of visibility …).
The day a lawyer told me that he could build a Chinese wall in his head to ensure independence between two clauses, I realized that politicians, along with other officials or “friends” that are running our countries, are actually:
– some zombies who have made Chinese walls and boxes in their heads and choose daily whether to serve the family, the President, the country, the Government, the party, the citizens, the Empire of his choice, the Empire disguised, the city, the county … and here the list is a bit long … and you can’t really serve too many Chinese boxes that appear in your life and your brain at the same time.
The expression “what’s in the mouth of politicians is also in their head” is just smoke and mirror. Politicians, or The Exchangers as I named them, are prisoners of parties and other interests and have no way to tell the truth for many minutes a day.
“There is no truth in war” – I think I will have to expand the expression a bit.
“The truth is hard to find at people that have group responsibilities, marketing targets and are close to election day”.
Recently I heard another sad expression
“He is a stupid man that chooses to be a hero instead of looking into the group interest”
We send our smart kids to work in difficult environments, but as long as the FBI Chief is chosen by The President and not directly elected by us, he will respond to other interests first. We sent our kids to environments where they receive a promotion if they bring votes and cash to a party. As long as we do not discover the fundamental things that would improve our society we arrest Nixon for no long-term gain and grow smart zombies that are not allowed to tell us what is really happening.
Meanwhile, the FBI guy who got Nixon down was fired and the reporter got a Pulitzer prize for what? What are the FBI employees think about when this happened. How is this influencing their decisions on their daily work? How is their daily zombi life?
“For most people, things are starting and ending outside their field of view and perception”

Donald Trump
I was in holiday in Maspalomas, Gran Canaria island, a lot of years ago, next to the most beautiful beach in the World. I called it Sahara on the Ocean because the wind creates a lot of sand dunes next to the Atlantic Ocean. That day my wife choose to stay in a palm garden of the hotel, having a small lake in the middle, near the great beach. Small domestic birds were walking free in the palm garden looking for us to fall asleep on so they can get our biscuits. She sent me to the shop with a list and I thought I could use this time to listen to my new Donald Trump audio books that I bought from Borders New York and transferred it to my new ipod, just released from Apple, long before all the iphone era.
Trump is reading most of his books so I got into a feeling of being inside The Apprentice show. Walking through the palms, filling the ocean, the wonderful new top stars hotels in Maspalomas and Donald start saying “Never take a holiday. If you love what you do, why should you Ever take a Holiday ?”. I start thinking “My god ! We are 2 stupid people in this world”. I was so happy that day !
In order to create, you need someone to help you staying on the path and fighting resistance. Everybody else is addicted to comfort and we all kill most of our dreams. We are even proud of this, saying “I was in a 2 week excellent vacation where I could forget about everything, I just rested in the sun”.
We are lucky that our subconscious do not follow all of this sayings, but unfortunately follow most of them. I used Trump to stay on my path against everybody else’s will and advice.
We were not 2 stupid people that day, but 3. Every morning I woke up at 4 and went to the lobby of the hotel to work something before everybody wakes up and resistance comes in to kill the creation process. Next to my table there was a large white piano where every morning at 5, a young girl came and practice all morning. The Internet was working only in that spot so I learned not to care that she was practicing in my ears, because having a companion was much better, to keep me writing.
We never spoke. That’s why we were there, to practice, not to speak. I respected her privacy, her sound, her mistakes. A couple of years after that, I was in a Venice, Italy, in their big concert hall and a guy announced a world new talent. I could not believe when I saw her on the stage, mesmerizing the whole audience with the music that she practiced on me, every morning. Donald Trump is right again “There is no overnight success. People that you see staring on TV, overnight, have practiced in private for years”
“Do something instead of killing time, because time is killing you, anyway” – Paulo Coelho
Create something ahead of time that will resist time outside of your life, into Human Species life. This is why we are on top of the food chain. We are beyond the lions that just sleep on dead bodies. We started with a painting that survived us on a the wall of the cave, but the idea was developed by egyptian scribes and Gutenberg and The Internet inventor and Bill Gates and here we are The Thinking Mirror of the Universe. “We are in the same time an object and a witness” Emil Cioran
More and more people around the world want a different style of Leadership
I made a habit of going every year to Borders at audiobooks shelfs and I took all the audiobooks of Donald Trump. He was one of the first to know that this is the future, that we should invest in learning, If somebody would have told me that the audio books used for kids that could not read, will be the future, I would said he is nuts. But Donald believed in education, created an University and delivered tons of materials to the world over Internet for “Lifetime learning”
By the way I am from Europe not USA :-). I traveled each year over Atlantic to go to Borders. I still remember the students lying on the floor and reading. I had to be carefully and step over their bodies while searching for books. When Warren Buffet said, after the 2008 crisis, that he will still invest in USA, because it has the largest number of inventions per capita, I knew why.
When I bought my first Kindle DX, things changed. Now I can have any book somebody is talking about in the next five minutes. Now I miss the time, not the books. The new Internet economy closed Borders, too, but the spirit and the feeling is still there at Barnes and Nobles or at all the Starbucks next to universities. “I’ve known people who had fantastic ideas, but who couldn’t get the idea off the ground because they approached everything weakly.
They thought that their ideas would somehow take off by themselves, or that just coming up with an idea was enough.
Let me tell you something — it’s not enough. It will never be enough. You have to put the idea into action.
If you don’t have the motivation and the enthusiasm, your great idea will simply sit on top of your desk or inside your head and go nowhere.” DONALD TRUMP, Trump 101

I know that you have already some political preferences, and you may be very subjective reading this lines, even thinking against this lines, but we, the europeans, are for more than 2000 years into politics. We know better, I do not have enough Google Drive space to write about it :-).
I was until the age of 25, in a communist country so I know even better (thanks for letting us free and sending us intelligence while we were prisoners – I remember kids waking with blue ink pen written papers, with Pink FLoyd lyrics, in a pre Internet, pre Trump era – we used all the good things we could find to create the right system of values)
When we stepped into freedom, in 1989, I looked at USA and found that you also like quotes. I thought you have a nice habit, also. Now I know better. Trump is right again “If you think that this world is fair, think again”. Your “free” system still need a lot of things that are lying hidden in the corners of knowledge. My proof are your compatriots that that I saw working daily to develop new systems of values, like Donald’s friend Robert Kiyosaki. He was threatened with the Court Martial just for one question, and than busted in 2007 by all the TV channels and newspapers because he had 4-5 different answers and some new questions. Talking about bias …
As a former communist I know and understand these things. We also had some forbidden questions like “If the communist economy is so good, so well intentioned and so well documented, why the capitalist economy is working better” ?
Truth is independent of politics and systems. It doesn’t matter if a French Revolution scientist was Girondist or Jacobin. Learn to detach what you want for you, from what you want for your children, from what you want for humanity, from what is true, even if Shakespeare said it is not easy – “I’ll join with black despair against my soul and to myself become an enemy” If you are going to think, think big
If you are going to live, live large
It is a large world and Universe. The possibilities are infinite
The possibilities are always there
If you are thinking too small, you will miss them
My cartoon is real. I am the creator of my own comic book and I love living in it Donald Trump
Welcome to the freaky world of creating systems of values. Facebook and Pokemon are just the way we train our muscles, not the future. The future started 25 years ago when a colleague come to me and said “Let’s go to a free course outside of University program” “Why should we do that ?” “Because it is called Artificial Intelligence and I think is important.” I never missed one course. Wait until we, the freaks, will connect this to the world. Then we will talk business (but not in this article, even if you are here because of some form of AI, the marketing “strange” engines :-))
People get excited every time they can see and feel a better future. They used to jump for their favorite sports team. This time is a magical force that drags them to the land of fulfilled dreams
The more I learn the more I realize what I don’t know
I think that has kept me young at heart more than anything else Fred Trump (Donald Trump’s father) Everything I learn leads me to something else I did not know
Learning become my daily outcome
If I end the day without knowing more make me wonder: What did I miss out today ?
Not learning equals laziness. For a disciplined person this thought get’s me going
Learning possibilities unfold to me. The world open up

Finding a driver for your brain, that would keep you forever hungry for knowledge, is the most important gift that you can find in life. “I have fallen out of the sky several times but the drive never got out of me” Jim Rohn
If your engine are at full power you may never want to find out the details “I am afraid to see again the things that had a very big importance and influence to my life” Emil Cioran
The Driver is something very personal, each person is motivated by different things like the following:
Jim Rohn – story of the girl scout cookies (the link is below, at the minute 1h:17m inside this incredible 2h Jim Rohn seminar) “Reasons come first, they make the differences” Jim Rohn
Tony Robbins – First driver was his despair that his first child was about to be born and it all looked that he will be poor and get his son through the same difficulties that he faced (This driver has already moved a lot of other people, that transformed overnight, the persons that were facing this kind of event – this new super person is already inside you, waiting to be activated by a simple thought “he is your primary personality from now on in order to pass a better stick to your kids”).
“We sometimes do things for other people that we will not do for ourselves” Jim Rohn
Tony Robbins – Second driver. He had to activate this driver when he reached a 1 million USD per year plateau. He realized that he had to feed all the kids in the world starting with as many as possible. He joined forces with organisations around the world and is doing incredible things link-to-youth-leadership-program link to basket-brigades
Tony Robbins – get out of comfort zone or from blaming others “If I had the mother that I wanted I would never become the person that I am today”
Quotes found on Donald Trump Site
What lies behind us and what lies before us are are tiny matters compared to what lies within us – Ralph Aldo Emerson
We have an infinite potential from which we implemented and we will implement a limited set, but we will try harder and we will leave a better world after we will personal recycle into The Universe
The mind that opens to a new idea never comes back to it’s original size – Albert Einstein
The most important part of a creational process is the dream that started it. But the most magical part is that some concepts never existed before the dream. Donald Trump invented the concept of mixing business and residential in the same building and solved the issues that blocked other developers to dream this. The moment that the concept was defined and implemented it enlarged our minds and now it become a normal dream and project.
Some people can not dream normal dreams with existing concepts like houses and cars. They need to invent new concepts because they are haunted by special questions like “What if I travel with the light that moves from the clock to my eyes while I read the clock ?”. The scientist magic dreamers invent new models and concepts in order to have their special dreams. Our world becomes bigger and bigger because of this dreamers that add new dimensions to the way we see Our Universe. The moment when a kid realized that there are more rooms in the house his perceived Universe doubles in size. This re-calibration of our perceptions about the world is an incredible result of lifetime assimilation of knowledge
Success in your endeavors !

I prefer to pick a business man with a brand, like Coca Cola or Trump and scare him about losing his brand value. I prefer to ask Steve Wynn to do something for our society because I can take him by the balls, he has something to protect. Politicians are like the fish. You can not keep them by the hand. Like virtual fish because they change the person inside the fish. Like in the parodies where the hero is taking 10 masks down, one by one, joking about who he really is. He is Politics

Why do we need to learn about science and technology ?
If you know the answer write something for this contest Link to Contest
1 billion people do not know how to enter Google.com or Freelancer.com or Videnda.eu because they do not know the answer to the question. You are here, so you know the answer. When the revelation will come out from deep inside your brain, do not forget to drop it on the contest 🙂
Why should you spend your time “for free”, to learn science and technology or work for contest that you may not win ?
Here are 2 arguments
1. If you think trying is risky and learning is just time consuming, wait until you will receive the bill for not trying or for not learning (adapted from Jim Rohn)
2. See on this link what prizes can achieve for us XPrize past and new prizes
3. Science is unlimited. The only limit science has are our temporary limitations. Potential is infinite
Robots and Artificial Intelligence (AI) will have souls like we have. They do not have it at this moment because we, the humans, are still limited in understanding the soul and create a software from what we learned.
If robots and AI are the future than the following scenario is aplicable
“Humans will be able to replicate flowers and AI in the Universe, AI will replicate Humans
Do not despair, do not worry, we are all interconnected. We are the bad guys that you may see in AI, but even we do not kill all the lions (except for stupid hunters that want to make a buck)
But no matter of how many Hitlers are born from within us we still keep species alive, against nature or our earlier mistakes, so will AI. We do not kill all the monkey because they do not know how to take the power from us, even if some politicians acts like monkeys. We will not be a direct threat for AI but an indirect, human build by (a rocket is programmed to follow unfriendly airplanes and destroy them – if such a machine will loose the capacity to detect friendliness, we will all die by our own weapon)”
