Remember the Ceaucescus.
Jim Robinson should bring restore posts from the first Clinton reign. Found this old FR post on archive.org:
TRANSCRIPT OF THE CLOSED TRIAL OF NICOLAE AND ELENA CEAUSESCU
Military base Tirgoviste - December 25th 1989
*** PROSECUTOR: General Gica POPA ***
A voice: A glass of water !
NICOLAE CEAUSESCU: I only recognize the Grand National Assembly. I will only speak in front of it.
PROSECUTOR: In the same way he refused to hold a dialogue with the people, now he also refuses to speak with us. He always claimed to act and speak on behalf of the people, to be a beloved son of the people, but he only tyrannized the people all the time. You are faced with charges that you held really sumptuous celebrations on all holidays at your house. The details are known. These two defendants procured the most luxurious foodstuffs and clothes from abroad. They were even worse than the king, the former king of Romania. The people only received 200 grams per day, against an identity card. These two defendants have robbed the people, and not even today do they want to talk. They are cowards. We have data concerning both of them. I ask the chairman of the prosecutor’s office to read the bill of indictment.
