On “Chitic, the Man of the System”
Much has been said about Chitic in the 12 years since he appeared in public life. It has been said that he is mad, that he is stupid, that he is an amateur, naive, violent, selfish, a scoundrel, conceited, a Pharisee, a hypocrite, a liar… the list is so long that whole pages could be written with nothing but the epithets so generously bestowed upon him. And all of them, every single one, can be found on Chitic’s own pages on the social networks — for whether out of laziness, as some would say, or out of thick-skinnedness, as others would say, or perhaps merely out of a bizarre fidelity to the principle of free expression, Chitic has never deleted the critical comments about him, sometimes even the scabrous ones; the only comments ever deleted were those that were racist, antisemitic, or that attacked religious beliefs and traditions, of whatever kind these might be.
Of late, however, a new appellation has appeared in certain feisbookish circles, and this “compliment” comes from what one might have called “his own camp”: “Chitic, the System’s man” (these too you may find in the comments, for these have not been deleted either)! And it has not merely appeared in passing: it is a “current” which is meant to be swelled and stoked. And work is being done on it, intensively!
This categorisation cannot be left as it is, for it is not a mere opinion founded perhaps on a personal antipathy, or perhaps on a state of irritation — since, yes, Chitic is neither handsome nor charming, but small, unlovely and rather surly and cantankerous, which might justify any branding of the infamous character.
NO! “Chitic, the System’s man” cannot be filed under “miscellaneous”, for it is an assertion that can be examined factually, on the public words and deeds of the man who has been labelled over time as either a KGB man, or a CIA man, or even a Mossad man, or, more recently, “the System’s man” — that is, either an SRI man or an SIE man, or in any case the man of one of our many “intelligence” structures.
Well then, let us see what could have brought about this conviction, on what this opinion could be founded.
Could it be the fact that only yesterday it was announced that his public Facebook page is to be shut down?
Or perhaps the fact that, in the latest project he has put up for public discussion, “Chitic, the System’s man” has just proposed that the demilitarisation of the intelligence services be regulated at Constitutional level — in the same place where he proposed introducing an article forbidding men of the system to enter political life both during their “service” and in the first five years after leaving it? Yes, it is clear: #TheConstitutionOfSovereignty was written by men of the system who want to hand Transylvania to the Hungarians… just as the referendum for the traditional family failed so that Dragnea should not escape prison!
Could it be “the Solidarity Law — the Law on the taxation of great fortunes and businesses”? — a law written since the summer and offered to any parliamentarian willing to table it for debate in parliament, a parliamentarian who has not shown himself to this day…
Or perhaps #TheOffshoreLaw is the cause of Chitic’s being labelled “the System’s man” — a law he was the first, yes, the very first to oppose, as far back as 2018. The spring of 2018, to be exact, when it was voted in the Senate in Tudose’s version, after which it was sweetened by Dragnea, so that those of #TheCoalitionOfTreason — indeed its very chiefs Ciucă–Ciolacu–Kelemen, through the pen of Virgil Popescu — should model it to be 100% friendly to the exploiters. By the way, it was also “Chitic, the System’s man” who this year sent to parliament the only set of amendments that would have turned it into a law for the national interest — amendments which were actually read out in the plenary of Parliament and rejected by the overwhelming parliamentary majority. And they were rejected while “the systemist Chitic” was protesting at the gates of Parliament, in the rain, alongside a handful of people… Yes, that must be it! In any case, it is interesting to note how the mainstream media discovered in the last 10 days this dreadful act of treason about which “the System’s man” has been shouting for 4 years… of course, being of the system, no television station invites him to say what he has been saying for 4 years!
Another clue could be the fact that the same “man of the system” howled like a man possessed against what he called #ThePredoiuLaws, a set of so-called “justice” laws by which the Constitution and the decisions of the Constitutional Court and of the High Court became optional for judges, and by which the door is thrown wide open to the “collaboration” of the services with “independent justice”.
But no, #TheSovereigntyLaw must be the reason! That legislative project for which he gathered 33,000 signatures and which he carried into Parliament, to have it rejected this very year by the same PSD–PNL–UDMR–USR Coalition of Treason… a law by which 1 law was repealed, 19 laws and ordinances amended, 80 articles amended, added or repealed — including those which once again provided, what do you know?, for the demilitarisation of the intelligence services (Chitic, this “systemist”, probably wants at all costs to become a civilian!), or the prohibition of clear-cutting of forests, or the repatriation of the gold, or the prohibition of discrimination on the ground of the administration of medical treatments… That too is a clue!
Or perhaps he is suspected of being “the System’s man” because he is no longer invited to say anything, roughly since the period when the signature-gathering campaign for #TheSovereigntyLaw was launched.
Or perhaps because he dared to found a party, #TheCoalitionForTheNation — financed out of his own money and sabotaged in every conceivable way from every side; a party at whose head he was the first to dare to say “#ROexit?” as far back as 2017, though then, as now, he always put a question mark after it… like any Securitate man, of course.
Or perhaps because for years he openly and publicly opposed the Kövesist terror, in a period when he spent most of his time in the television studios of those who had far more stakes, greater and more personal, than a principled but extremely risky struggle for right, for liberty and for justice…
Or perhaps because as far back as 2010 he dared, like a true “man of the system”, to confront Băsescu in person — which earned him not only a slap from the latter but one from the whole system; the proof still standing today in the recordings of Blejnar seeking out Chitic over “financing”.
These and many other things could serve as solid arguments for describing him, Chitic, as stupid, mad, an amateur or naive. That is probably why Chitic has never answered these compliments in any way, nor deletes the comments of the “friends” who caress him with such epithets.
But the label “Chitic, the System’s man” Chitic cannot understand. Nor accept. And that really does give him insomnia! Perhaps the year has been too long, too hard, and perhaps he is tired. That is probably why this is the first time he writes about the monstrosities of which he has been accused over the years, sometimes by former close allies (too close!) who have thrown tons of slops, foul gossip and scabrous inventions. He never answered, in any way! But this one, “Chitic, the System’s man”, was too much — the drop that filled the cup of a total disgust that had to be uttered.
Yes, perhaps he is tired…
And perhaps weariness and nausea are what made Chitic write this post about himself in the third person… and that too is a first!
Perhaps this was the way in which I could speak to you about the pure filth into which I knowingly agreed to step during these last 12 years of my life, and about an absurd struggle which I still stubbornly wage against an abject system and an equally abject indifference.
I am not complaining… I merely concede the point to those who have labelled me mad, stupid, an amateur or naive! But this one, “Chitic, a man of the System”, I truly do not accept. And I do not permit it!
To be labelled “a man of the System” is by far the gravest insult that could be offered me, ever! — as the strategic partner would say.
And that is too much even for me!
