Apparently from a minor register, the episode of the so-called Dacian story narrated by Călin Georgescu contains, as a concentrated sample, the essence of the charlatanism practiced by the messianic figure.
As most of you probably already know, in short, during a podcast, Mr. Georgescu recounted the Dacian story, according to him, of the wolf raised in a flock of sheep from birth, who only discovers his true identity when the flock is attacked by an old wolf. The old wolf takes him with him and makes him look at his reflection in the water, after which the rediscovered wolf literally howls his identity.
However, what do you know, the story is not Dacian, but an Indian legend, in which the wolf is a tiger, and the sheep are goats. The message, you might say, is the same, so why get lost in details? Because therein lies, as I said, the sample of charlatanism.
First of all, as presented, the story is a kind of plagiarism, meaning an incorrect appropriation of a literary creation. Mr. Georgescu could very well have told the Indian story, but he felt the need to steal it and attach it to a culture to which it never belonged.
Whether the Dacians knew how to write or not is still a dispute among historians. Most say they did not. What is certain is that from the Dacian culture, objects have remained, such as the famous helmet or bracelets, a few words from the lexical fund, well-known, but it was very difficult for a story to remain. By invoking it, Mr. Georgescu suggests a somehow mystical connection, reserved only for the chosen ones, with the Dacian ancestors.
All of Mr. Georgescu's rhetoric also reeks of such mystifications. Some border on the pathological. He claims, for example, that Bolivia's port was bought by the Chinese because whoever controls maritime trade will have power. However, Bolivia is not a port, but a country, a country that no longer has access to the sea, its ports being only river ports.
Or the fact that Romania has all the rare metals from Mendeleev's table. Even some that are not even on Mendeleev's table, meaning they have not yet been discovered. As for some rare metals like Livermorium, Tennessine, and Oganesson, chemists say they are synthetic elements that exist only in a few particle accelerators in this world, none, of course, in Romania.
Monoatomic gold, not a metal, but an esoteric concept, is another nonsense invoked by Mr. Georgescu with the same solemn and scholarly air.
Returning to the Indo-Dacian story, its message does not quite fit with Mr. Georgescu's general message, the one about peace and God all day long? How does he promote the predator model, who goes over the man's flock and kills the sheep/goats (in the original), killing helpless beings? And the one who initially tries to defend them is, I quote, "stupid"?
It shouldn't surprise us. The pacifist Georgescu advocates the tearing apart of a country, Ukraine, recognized in international treaties, from which not only Russia but also Romania should benefit. In other words, not only the old wolf/tiger, but also the young wolf/tiger awakened from among the sheep, in consciousness, of course.
Because he has crossed the line of the Constitution by promoting an aggression war, Mr. Georgescu sent his spokespersons to revisit the first statement made in haste with Ion Cristoiu: he did not refer to war and aggression, but to the hypothesis in which this war would lead to the division of Ukraine, that is, if Putin were to win, because no other scenario would lead to such a result.
So Romania would not obtain its old territories through struggle, like the wolves, so to speak, but like the puppies who sit expectantly around the powerful's table to be thrown a bone as well.
"Have you found the treasure?" asks Călin Georgescu, frowning and ready to explode. Which treasure is he referring to? Perhaps the one stolen by the Russians from whom he awaits the crumbs of victory and absorbs wisdom? Or is the treasure from Moscow taboo for the nation's wolf?
How is it possible for a man of peace who also presents himself as a great diplomat to advocate an aggression that violated all international treaties or at least the effects in favor of the aggressor of such an aggression?
This is Călin Georgescu when scrutinized closely. However, the saddest part is that a large part of his supporters, including educated individuals, are immune to arguments, with their critical thinking blocked, willing to validate any nonsense in a collective exercise of hypnosis.
