Let’s start being the change we want around us

As I am sure you already know…Romania's Prime Minister Calin Popescu Tariceanu said today that his Cabinet would resign and early elections would be called after the Constitutional Court's ruling blocked essential justice reforms required by the European Union.

In Romania…IT IS the TIME for JUSTICE and the Time for TRUTH…

And, after the new barbaric attack in London (more than 33 killed and seriously 300 injured), after we understood and astonished realized that in the world today 30.000 people die in Africa every day in extreme poverty…

Wherever we are…Let's stand United and support Freedom and our way of living, let's stop both poverty and terror, let's stop unnecessary and barbaric death, either caused by extreme poverty or barbaric terrorism acts...

In Romania…let’s do the right thing to do… let’s vote again in the next Early Elections and let us enjoy the full victory again in the University Square…with our Orange flags, free spirits and open minds …again in the University Square…

Remember the OPEN LETTER for Traian Basescu we wrote in December 2004? Read it here

That’s what we told him then and this is what we can tell him and Mr Tariceanu today:

“Traiane, (Caline) daca tot nu vor, lasa-i in plata Domnului si vino inapoi la mine. Fa anticipate, esti presedintele ales si e dreptul tau prin Constitutie. Iti promit ca imi chem prietenii, imi iau mama de mina si le zic: hai sa il ajutam! Si iti dam parlamentul tau asa cum ti-am dat si echipa ta in consiliul Capitalei. Si vom fi mai multi decit in noiembrie 28 (sau decat in 12 decembrie ), vor veni si cei care traiau cu frica, si cei care nu credeau ca e posibil.”

And don’t forget the “Message for a Jack-ass friend of mine” – the great article about the University Square movement in the early 1990’s… You can read it again here.

And …you can read – in the Romanian language too – this post from a friend of mine…

Let’s start being the change we want around us!

It is so important to defend our values, our principles and our freedom… either we are talking about our determination to stop poverty, to stop terror, communism or a ‘sick justice and political system’…It is imperative to get involved and to act…It is our duty as human beings to become the change we need and dream around us…

Over 33 killed in London blasts & Egypt's top envoy to Iraq kiled - Al Qaeda again !?

Over 33 killed, nearly 300 hurt in London blasts

In the bloodiest terror attack in London in three decades, suspected Islamic militants on Thursday carried out coordinated blasts in underground stations and a bus killing more than 33 people and injuring nearly 300 of which 45 were serious.

Sky television, however, said at least 45 people were killed in the explosions.

Thirty three people died in the explosions at three stations and there were unspecified number of fatalities in the blast in the double-decker bus that ripped through its roof, Deputy Assistant Commissioner of Metropolitan police, Brian Paddick, told a crowded press conference.

A visibly shaken Prime Minister Tony Blair, hosting the G-8 summit of the world's richest nations at Gleneagles in Scotland, said it was "reasonably clear" that there has been a series of terrorist attacks.

HERE you can view a part from his emotional speech.

A previously unknown al-Qaeda-linked group claimed the responsibility for the attacks. Italian news agency ANSA said that Secret Group of Al-Qaeda's Jihad in Europe in a website posting also warned Italy and Denmark to withdraw their troops from Iraq and Afghanistan.

However, Paddick said police have not received any claim of responsibility. "We don't know whether it is a genuine claim. We are looking at all leads."
Paddick said seven people were killed in the first explosion in an underground railway tunnel near Moorgate on the edge of London's financial district, 21 in a second near King's Cross and another five at Edgware Road station in West London. There were fatalities in the explosion in the bus at Tavistock Square.

He said nearly 300 people were injured in the explosions of which 45 were serious. The injured were being treated at various hospitals.

The explosions in the three stations occurred within a span of 26 minutes while the fourth blast in the bus took place half-an-hour later during the morning rush hour.

Describing the situation as "fluid", Paddick said the underground transport system of London will remain closed on Thursday and is likely to restart operations on Friday.

Immediately after the terror strikes, authorities shut down the entire underground network and bus services and asked people to stay wherever they were till the situation was brought under control. However, airports operated normally.

Meanwhile… Egypt's top envoy to Iraq, Ihab al-Sherif, has been killed, according to a Web posting Thursday attributed to al Qaeda in Iraq.

"...We, the al Qaeda in the land of the two rivers, announce that the verdict of God against the ambassador of the infidels, the ambassador of Egypt, has been executed, praise be to God," the statement said.

Islamic militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi heads al Qaeda in Iraq. The statement was posted on a Web site commonly used by the group to make statements.

Al Qaeda in Iraq has claimed responsibility for kidnapping the diplomat near his Baghdad home on Saturday.

This is the Web statement refers to al-Zarqawi, called "our sheikh." :

"May God protect him and make his aiming precise and his feet steadfast. The consultative council for the al Qaeda in Iraq is determined to confront the Jews and the crusaders and all those who side with them. “ […] "We threaten all the countries of the tyrants and tell them that the land of the two rivers is no longer a safe place for the infidels because in it God has granted power to a group of mujahedeen men who are fighting for the sake of God."

On Wednesday the group, citing Islamic law, said that Shariah courts of al Qaeda met and decided that al-Sherif should be killed. The group condemned Egyptian policies and posted ID cards belonging to al-Sherif. He arrived in Iraq last month, the first diplomat to represent an Arab country in Iraq after the ouster of Saddam Hussein.

It really happened…Early ELECTIONS in ROMANIA!

It happened!

It really happened…

We will have Elections again…Early Elections…

The Early Elections Traian Basescu talked about and, if we may say so…dreamed about…

Romania's Prime Minister Calin Popescu Tariceanu said today that his Cabinet would resign and early elections would be called after the Constitutional Court's ruling blocked essential justice reforms required by the European Union.

The irrevocable decision of Mr Tariceanu was taken after a talk head to head with Traian Basescu and after Mr. Jonathan Scheele, the European Commission's head of mission in Bucharest said that the rejection would have a negative impact on Romania's EU bid.

Critical justice reforms were requested by the European Union, which Romania wants to join in 2007. If Romania fails to reform its justice system and enforce antitrust rules, then as per EU's warning its admission would be delayed by a year.

The court, declared certain parts of the justice laws to be unconstitutional. The challenge in the Constitutional Court was brought by deputies from the opposition Social Democrats.

Tariceanu met today with President Traian Basescu to discuss the situation. The Prime Minister later announced his resignation and said that legal procedures to hold new elections would be started.

``The blocking of the justice reforms means we have no chance to get a good report from the European Union that would allow us to join in 2007,'' Tariceanu said speaking on television from the government headquarters.

Here you can view his speech. from http://www.hotnews.ro/

He said new elections were needed to get a stronger majority that would pass the justice reforms.

As Traian Basescu said months ago…( and for the record - the Prime Minister did not agreed at that time ) the Alliance for Justice and Truth - Alianta DA (PD + PNL) - needs to turn back to the Romanian people and ask for it's trust and support.

``People can vote on whether they want to keep this dirty (justice) system, with a Constitutional Court dominated by the former ruling (Social Democratic) Party.''

Parliament can overturn the court's decision with a two-thirds majority, but the ruling coalition lacks the majority necessary to overturn the court's ruling.

The court, which is packed with people who are close to former president Ion Iliescu and former Social Democratic Party lawmakers, declared certain parts of the justice laws to be unconstitutional.

The judges struck down passages which provided for competition for judicial appointments and a mandatory retirement age for judges.

Justice Minister Monica Macovei said those measures were necessary to provide for competent judges and an end to political influence on the courts.

The EU commission said Romania would have to make continuous progress to be able to join in 2007, and that Romania needed to have an ``independent, impartial and efficient'' justice system. The commission added that it would study the court's ruling, state news agency Rompres reported.

The opposition Social Democratic Party, which had asked the court to review the laws, has denied that it influenced the court's ruling through its former members that dominate the court.

Former Prime Minister Adrian Nastase, a senior Social Democratic Party leader and chairman of the lower house of parliament, offered to recall lawmakers from vacation to discuss the laws.

Romanian law stipulates that early elections can be called only if parliament is unable to choose a government within 60 days after the Cabinet's resignation.
I bet if Elections would hapend this week-end The D.A. Alliance would won the majority in Parliament.

Although the Alliance had some internal issues and small problems in the last month, if PD and PNL stay close and united…they really have the chance to obtain what they need, what they want and what Mr Basescu said months ago that they must win…more than 50% of the votes.

Traian Basescu is expected to adress the people this evening!

Do I have to remind you that Traian Basescu never lost a battle in his political career?

Maybe this is what Romanian needs.
And I am glad that Tariceanu finally has ‘the balls’ to do it…

Food for thoughts and for... bets:

Do you think that the Conservative Party AKA PUR…or the Voiculescu’s Party will obtain the 5% needed to enter the Parliament in the future Early Elections?

Do you think that UDMR might also lose it’s eternal place in the Romanian Parliament?

Do you think that Traian Basescu will be fully impartial in the next Electoral Campaign?

Do you think that Mircea Geoana (the new President of PSD) has what it takes to won the battle?

Do you think that DA will obtain easy it’s wanted majority without the precious support from Mr President Basescu?

Do you think that this is a good moment for a United ‘right’ in the Romanian political scene? Do you think that the Popular Parties will join forces?

What do you expect to be the next almost ‘desperate’ move of Voiculescu? Will he join forces with DA or will he have the big balls to enter the Electoral Campaign on his own? Or maybe again with PSD?

“Romania Mare” The Greater Romania Party has the power to obtain more than 10%?

And what about Gigi Becali’s “New Generation” Party ? More or less than 2 %?

It’s summer and… we’re starting to boil again…

I’m sure you already know or at least you suspect the fact that I am a DA supporter and especially a supporter of Mr Traian Basescu…

Well, YES I am (Pai, nu? Pai, DA!), and I am still proud to recognize it! You can read my posts from December 2004 to understand why.

And as a supporter of the Justice and Truth Alliance… I believe that the top priority in our country is a credible, 'clean', modren, true and fair Justice system…

IT IS the TIME for JUSTICE and the Time for TRUTH…
God Bless Romania!

Wear a White Band

Wear a White Band
2005 offers a unique opportunity for everyone to come together and ask the G8 to make poverty history. LIVE 8 is one event of many around the world supporting the aims of the Global Call to Action Against Poverty. The global symbol of the campaign is a white band. To find out how to get one, and for more information about what is happening near you, visit one of the sites below.

What should the white band look like?

This is entirely up to you. Some suggestions are wrist bands, arm bands, head bands, lapel bands, etc. This action was chosen because it is simple for anyone to get involved - you can just make your own white band with a piece of fabric.

Do our white bands have to bear a slogan or a message?

Many groups will be organising under a national slogan. India, for example, will be organising the action under the banner of 'Deliver the Promises'. The UK is organising the action under the banner 'Make Poverty History' and that will be written on many of the bands. The best place to find out if your country has a slogan is on your country page here .

Who should wear the white band?

ANYONE who believes in ending poverty should wear the white band, and we want as many people as possible to feel part of this movement. This could be school children, campaigners, community groups, celebrities, families; whoever you are, this action is for you.

Ronan Keating, The Sugababes, The Corrs, Natasha Bedingfield and Texas are preparing to play the final Live 8 concert in Edinburgh.

They will be joined by Annie Lennox, Snow Patrol, Travis, Youssou N'Dour and McFly, who played previous Live 8 concerts on Saturday.

The Murrayfield Stadium event coincides with the start of the G8 summit and Live 8's Long Walk To Justice rally.

The free event will be broadcast on BBC television, radio and online.

Live 8 organizers Bob Geldof and Midge Ure are also due to perform at the concert, to be hosted by comedians Lenny Henry and Peter Kay.
African artists from pop star Peter Gabriel's Womad music festival will also take part, and a number of "very special" speakers are planned.
As in London's Live 8 concert, 21,000 free pairs of tickets to the event were allocated in a text message competition.

The Edinburgh concert follows 10 Live 8 gigs in cities including London, Philadelphia, Paris, Berlin, Johannesburg, Rome and Moscow on Saturday.

Geldof was joined by Hollywood acting couple Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon as he boarded a train to Edinburgh from London's Euston station on Tuesday.

When he originally announced the Live 8 concerts in May, Geldof called for one million supporters to march to Edinburgh for the Long Walk To Justice rally.

Lothian and Borders Police responded that such a large influx of visitors would be "potentially hazardous" to a city with a population of 453,000.

On Tuesday Geldof said protesters who clashed with police earlier in the week had "nothing to do with our message".

"Our message is about dignity and respect for people, upholding values of being human and allowing each human to use their life and not have it taken away by poverty," he said.

Live 8's Edinburgh concert will be broadcast on BBC Two Scotland from 2000 BST, on BBC One Scotland from 2245 BST and on BBC Three from 2145 BST on Wednesday.

The concert will be streamed live on www.bbc.co.uk.

In the Live 8 concerts Saturday, there were 5 billion people who watched parts of the event on TV and more than 1.5 millions live spectators. This was the biggest TV broadcasting in the history. In Philadelphia there were more than 1 million people on the streets while in Hyde Park in London there were 3-400.000 people.

Pink Floyd was back together for the first time in 25 years. You should see http://www.live8live.com/ and http://www.one.org/

Background sounds for special phony calls…

Have you ever been in this weird and embarrassing situation when you have to call somebody or answer a phone call and ... lie…?

...Lie about your whereabouts, your intentions, your future actions, your surroundings?

I have a very good friend of mine who sometimes, a few years ago, answered the phone when his mother called and asked us to make some strange noises…like a train, a bus or something like that ;-)

I used to 'copy' very well the sound of the…gasoline in the bus ;-)

Anyways…if you have to make or answer a phone call and YOU desperately need to be (in that very moment ) in a TRAIN STATION…you can use this link…

If you need to be at the sea side... and you’re not ... but you really want somebody to hear the sea at the phone and believe you’re there... try THIS

You need to be on...

A Construction site? A doctor’s office? Your office? Use this collection of background sounds for special phony calls…

A useful tool indeed...

FLOODS and the Romanian wheat Crop

Since we were talking about water... and how important, essential and benefic is the water for our life, body and health…here is some dramatic info and news. Sometimes there is TOO MUCH WATER:

The heavy floods in the recent days may slash Romania's 2005 wheat crop estimate of 7.6 million tones by more than 20 percent, Agriculture Minister Gheorghe Flutur said on Monday.

Romania is today one of the major cereal producers in the Black Sea region!
Romania had expected to harvest another big wheat crop this year, which could help the European Union candidate boost exports to traditional Middle East markets.

"The crop forecast could be slashed by more than 20 percent by floods," Flutur was quoted as saying by state news agency Rompres.

The heavy floods at the weekend killed six people and damaged 2,000 homes in southern counties on the Danube river border with Bulgaria.

The affected area, where about 560 people were forced to abandon their villages, cultivates almost exclusively wheat.

Romania harvested a three-year record high crop of 7.65 million tones last year, but prohibitive domestic prices, which exceeded international levels, kept grain exports at a meager 100,000 tones in 2004/05.

Romania put about 2.5 million hectares under wheat last year against two million the year before.
