    Almost 2,000 years ago, a stonemason working in a limestone quarry near the hill of Mǎgura Cǎlanului in current-day Romania left behind his tools. A local resident happened upon the corroded bits of metal in 2022 and brought them to the attention of the Corvin Castle Museum in Hunedoara, according to a La Brújula Verde report. The artifacts turned out to be a complete stonemasonry toolkit, the first of its kind ever found in pre-Roman Dacia and one of the most complete kits from anywhere in Europe. The set consists of 15 different objects weighing a total of 25 pounds,...

    The result is a dramatic turnaround from the first round of voting a few weeks ago when Mr Simion was well ahead. Pro-Western candidate Nicusor Dan has unexpectedly beaten hard-right populist George Simion in the Romanian election. Mr Simion, 38, and his rival - a centrist who's mayor of Bucharest - faced off in the second round of the contest.

    An ordinary spring day quickly became extraordinary after a nature-loving metal detectorist unearthed a cache of ancient treasure. Marius Mangeac confirmed the discovery to Fox News Digital. He said he found the hoard in a field near Letca Veche, a small village in southern Romania.. Mangeac said that he found the coins “on a beautiful Saturday that didn’t foreshadow anything of what was to come.” “I took my detector and went out alone, as I often do, for exercise and to relax in the fields and forests,”.. “I didn’t think this day would surprise me and bring me face to...

    A casual hike on the slopes of Zvičina Hill in the Czech Republic led to a remarkable discovery when two hikers stumbled upon a lost gold treasure worth more than $340,000. The find, made in early February but only recently announced, includes 598 gold coins, jewelry, and other artifacts. The entire collection weighs about seven kilograms, with gold coins accounting for nearly 3.7 kilograms. While exploring the landscape near the Polish border, the hikers uncovered a tin container packed with nearly 600 gold coins. The coins were carefully stacked in eleven piles and wrapped in black cloth. Not far from...

    George Simion, the leader of the right-wing Union of Romanians (AUR) party, has emerged as the frontrunner in Romania’s upcoming presidential election, polling reveals. Simion is projected to win the first round of voting on May 4 with approximately 29 percent of the vote, according to Politico’s Poll of Polls. This puts him ahead of his nearest rivals, former National Liberal Party leader Crin Antonescu at 22 percent and Bucharest Mayor Nicușor Dan at 20 percent. Simion’s rise to prominence comes in the wake of the controversial decision to annul the results of the previous presidential election held in December....
  • Romania’s High Court Crushes Last-Ditch Effort to Save Overthrown Election, Ensuring Globalist-Backed Re-Run

    In yet another sad blow to the will of the people, Romania’s High Court of Cassation and Justice (ICCJ) has ruled to overturn a courageous decision by a local judge that sought to reinstate the annulled 2024 presidential election—an election originally won by the conservative, anti-globalist candidate Călin Georgescu. The nation’s top court sided, unsurprisingly, with the entrenched political establishment, affirming that the Court of Appeal in Ploiești (CAP), Prahova County, had “no jurisdiction” over decisions made by the Constitutional Court (CCR). The ruling is final: a full election re-run will proceed on May 4, with a second ballot on...

    Florida authorities said they were ready to “act on” any UK extradition order for Andrew Tate in a letter The Times has decided to publish after a woman he allegedly went on to assault questioned why the Home Office did not take action. The email was sent on March 7 from the office of James Uthmeier, the attorney-general of Florida, to Matthew Jury, a lawyer for four of Tate’s British victims, stating its willingness to arrest and extradite Tate if Britain made a formal request. Jury, a lawyer at McCue Jury & Partners, handed a physical copy of the letter...

    A French court recently sentenced National Rally leader Marine Le Pen to prison and banned her from running in national elections for five years, ostensibly for embezzling European Union funds. Even the court admitted that Le Pen did not personally profit. This is almost certainly a ruse, as French courts clearly do not care where or how non-conservative politicians and public servants get their money. Jordan Bardella, president of National Rally and Le Pen’s presumptive successor in the presidential run, strongly condemned the ruling stating, “Today, it is not only Marine Le Pen who is being unjustly condemned: it is...

    A Swiss think tank has reported that U.S. intelligence agencies, allegedly acting under the directives of the Trump administration, are investigating former Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and his assistant James O’Brien for purportedly pressuring Romanian authorities to annul the country’s presidential election results. According to the report, Blinken—an arch-neocon and influential figure in America’s globalist, interventionist foreign policy establishment—collaborated with former Romanian Foreign Minister Luminița Odobescu to pressure officials in Bucharest into annulling Călin Georgescu’s first-round presidential victory, thereby ensuring Romania remained aligned with pro-NATO and globalist interests. The Diplomatic Affairs, a Geneva-based think tank focused on assessing global...

    Online influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan left the United States for Romania on a private flight on Friday (Mar 21) to fulfil legal obligations related to a criminal investigation against them, they said. The brothers are under investigation in Romania on accusations of forming an organised criminal group, human trafficking, trafficking of minors, sexual intercourse with a minor and money laundering. They have denied all wrongdoing. "Spending US$185,000 on a private jet across the Atlantic to sign one single piece of paper in Romania," Tate posted on social media platform X. "Innocent men don't run. They clear their...

    Romania’s electoral body has disqualified another politician, Diana Șoșoacă, from the presidential election re-run. In doing so on March 15, the Central Electoral Bureau (BEC) cited her public rhetoric — including opposition to Romania’s European Union and NATO membership — as incompatible with the constitutional duties of the presidency. Șoșoacă is an MEP for the right-wing Eurosceptic SOS Romania Party — and unaligned in the European Parliament.

    After the Romanian government and judiciary conspired to rig an election that was set to be won by conservative, anti-Globalist Călin Georgescu, chaos erupted in the capital Bucharest and other cities. But if one thinks that Romanians ‘sovereigntists’ were just going to lay back and complain, he’d be very wrong. Georgescu and his movement have thrown their support behind the candidacy of MP George Simion. After our latest discussion w/ @CG_Romania, I decided to submit my candidacy as President of #Romania. Our sovereignist movement continues with the full support of Călin #Georgescu. There is only solution: national unity! God help...

    Romania, a country on Europe’s eastern fringe, is perhaps a surprising focus of attention for a new US administration whose foreign policy priorities include ending the war in Ukraine, reshaping the Middle East and expanding American territory. Accustomed to flying under the radar, many in the country have been stunned by the Trump administration’s interest in its politics, which rarely garners international attention. “It’s been unprecedented,” said Oana Popescu-Zamfir, director of the GlobalFocus Center, a think-tank in the capital, Bucharest. She said she cannot recall a time in Romania’s post-Soviet history that its affairs have been so closely scrutinized from...

    A bite-sized chunk of my big-picture piece from Quadrant has now been excerpted in Australia's national newspaper, The Australian: The biggest story of our time is that the entirety of the western world is sliding off the cliff – and most citizens of the west are not even aware of it, and have no desire to be made aware of it. In that respect, I envy them. It is comforting to paddle one's canoe and insist that the ever louder roaring sound from up ahead is the crowd at a Taylor Swift gig and not Niagara Falls. To be sure,...

    You could almost think that it is perfectly rational for a supposedly democratic country to bar a leading presidential candidate from appearing on the ballot if you read Monday's Reuters report, "Far-right candidate Calin Georgescu barred from Romania presidential election re-run."Here is Reuters acting as if it is normal to destroy a democratic election in order to save it.
