00:00:00
Romania just had their presidential
00:00:01
elections and uh holy hell were they
00:00:11
something hello and welcome to politics
00:00:13
explained a series I vow to discontinue
00:00:16
but due to the immense peer pressure
00:00:17
I've received from you guys uh because I
00:00:20
guess I'm not a designated uh
00:00:22
spokesperson for Romania and all itsy
00:00:24
I've decided to bring it back for one
00:00:26
last episode so if you've watched the
00:00:28
news you've probably heard that ROM had
00:00:30
some shocking results with the term
00:00:33
fascist being thrown around more than
00:00:35
Riley Reid in one shoot and people being
00:00:38
mad on both sides of the political
00:00:40
spectrum and others are claiming that
00:00:42
democracy in Romania has fallen so what
00:00:45
the hell happened on November 24th 2024
00:00:49
Romania had its presidential elections
00:00:51
which weren't supposed to be anything
00:00:53
special for a while now the Romanian
00:00:55
political meta has been not very
00:00:58
interesting or exciting BAS basically
00:01:00
you've had the meta of two main parties
00:01:02
dominating the scene uh the first one
00:01:04
being the successors of chesu and the
00:01:07
Romanian Socialist Party known as B
00:01:10
economically they're quite leftwing
00:01:13
while socially they're a bit rightwing
00:01:14
so your typical postcommunist uh Eastern
00:01:18
European party their biggest Rivals are
00:01:21
pen who are essentially slightly
00:01:24
rightwing which kind of makes them the
00:01:26
Democrats and Republicans of Romania and
00:01:30
this is how the system functioned for
00:01:32
the longest of times essentially one of
00:01:34
the two parties would get in power and
00:01:36
no one really baded an ey however
00:01:38
recently by recently I mean like 10
00:01:41
years or so the delicate balance of
00:01:43
political power in Romania changed when
00:01:45
PES and Pen formed a mega Coalition
00:01:49
which merged the two parties into one
00:01:51
now this came as a huge shock to Romania
00:01:55
and the Romanian people as it was
00:01:57
essentially like I said the Republicans
00:01:59
and Democrats fusing into one because
00:02:01
pad has been in a bunch of scandals and
00:02:03
are the literal successors of the kic
00:02:05
party a lot of people found this as a
00:02:08
huge kick in the nuts essentially people
00:02:10
thought that the system didn't matter
00:02:12
that everything was corrupt and rigged
00:02:14
and they lost fate in a Romanian
00:02:15
political system which uh fair enough so
00:02:19
as a result you've had a lot of new
00:02:21
parties come into existence such as us
00:02:24
which were kind of like a rag tag team a
00:02:26
group of militant centrists and people
00:02:29
from all over the political Spectrum but
00:02:31
due to infighting they kind of split
00:02:33
into even more parties and you also had
00:02:36
the far right rise up with parties such
00:02:38
as a uh who are your regular you know
00:02:42
European populist party who spouted
00:02:44
something about migrants Soros evil
00:02:46
Brussels you know like orbon essentially
00:02:49
and essentially you have the hungarians
00:02:50
with udmr rmds uh who just tag along
00:02:55
with whoever won and they just propagate
00:02:58
for Hungarian School and you know fids
00:03:02
they're just their pries it completely
00:03:04
irrelevant and you know with this
00:03:06
political situation you've of course had
00:03:08
political Pats here and there uh which
00:03:10
was nothing really out of the ordinary
00:03:12
just political so when the
00:03:14
elections came around this year no one
00:03:16
really expected anything special other
00:03:18
than your typical meta so people just
00:03:20
expected another pen or PES win maybe
00:03:23
even us you know who knows however that
00:03:27
was not the case over the past year a
00:03:29
new candidate came onto the scene going
00:03:31
by the name of khen Jesco now unlike the
00:03:34
rest of the political candidates who
00:03:36
would plaster their faces on posters and
00:03:39
TV commercials and all that typical
00:03:41
political stuff Jes could decide to go a
00:03:44
different route to campaigned that's
00:03:46
right he decided to utilize Tik Tok and
00:03:48
appeal to the kids themselves how do you
00:03:50
do fellow children I am Ken Jesu vote
00:03:54
for me we have Subway Surfers and Family
00:03:57
Guy Clips hi
00:04:00
the majority of Ken's campaign consisted
00:04:02
of him making far right and populist Tik
00:04:05
toks with dramatic music ADHD subtitles
00:04:08
and him doing a variety of sports such
00:04:10
as running and flipping opponents in
00:04:12
Judo hell there was even one video of
00:04:14
him riding shirtless on a horse now
00:04:17
running a campaign this way is whatever
00:04:20
it's not illegal so who cares if a
00:04:23
mother wants to ride shirtless in a
00:04:25
homoerotic film on camera who am I to
00:04:28
stop him you know my profile picture is
00:04:30
an anime girl like who who am I here to
00:04:32
talk however this is exactly where
00:04:34
the controversy begins you see as SW and
00:04:38
unorthodox as his campaign was many
00:04:40
could draw parallels between him and
00:04:43
another arguably farri populist that's
00:04:46
currently invading Ukraine Vladimir
00:04:49
Putin similar to je jusu Putin 2o has
00:04:51
starred in some sexually evocative films
00:04:54
wrestling big buff men in kimonos for
00:04:57
his campaigns but you know whatever I
00:05:00
like to eat dumplings Putin probably
00:05:02
likes to eat dumplings meeting dumplings
00:05:04
isn't really a dog whistle but in the
00:05:06
case of J Jesu his intentions with his
00:05:09
campaign start arising a lot of red
00:05:12
flags once you start analyzing his
00:05:14
beliefs he presents himself as a calm
00:05:17
collected well educated man of culture
00:05:20
uh or even as some sort of spiritual
00:05:22
mythical Guru with extensive knowledge
00:05:25
of the universe in his own words it's
00:05:28
the vibration of the spoken word that
00:05:30
leads to the greatness of man to be wor
00:05:33
I have absolutely no idea what he's
00:05:34
talking about like what a chut now this
00:05:37
type of Dogma has been popular in
00:05:40
Romania since forever we've talked about
00:05:41
in previous videos on Romanian politics
00:05:45
uh conspiracy theories and in current
00:05:47
times when the world is going to a more
00:05:50
and more unstable place a lot of
00:05:52
Romanians are looking for some solace in
00:05:55
spirituality and religion to comfort
00:05:58
their uncertainty hence Jesu fit in the
00:06:02
perfect role for this like an evil siren
00:06:04
or an oasis of some sorts perhaps the
00:06:06
most versatile and Universal tool in a
00:06:09
Russian loving politician's Arsenal to
00:06:11
capture the hearts and minds of a
00:06:13
religious Orthodox audience is religion
00:06:16
and Colin je Jesu is a specialist in
00:06:18
capturing the hearts and minds of the
00:06:20
Romanian people through his speeches
00:06:23
where he invokes uh the name of the
00:06:25
almighty and his will and the love for
00:06:29
his
00:06:30
Nation however his relationship with
00:06:33
religious institutions is Rocky to say
00:06:36
the least and it constantly clashes with
00:06:38
his spiritual Persona he once stated
00:06:41
that the world religion's greatest fear
00:06:44
is people discovering their inner s and
00:06:46
they along with Society in general have
00:06:50
created mechanisms to keep the masses
00:06:52
under their control whatever that means
00:06:55
arguably his most controversial opinion
00:06:58
was that uh C section was a tragedy
00:07:01
because it severs the spiritual line
00:07:03
between the mother and the baby while
00:07:04
this statement is completely bizarre and
00:07:07
shocking to the normal person it is
00:07:10
completely in line with K jesu's
00:07:12
anti-scientific rhetoric with him
00:07:14
claiming that Jesus Christ is the one
00:07:17
true science and that chemotherapy is a
00:07:20
well a also another important
00:07:23
thing to note is K jesu's obsession with
00:07:26
water according to him pure water
00:07:28
contains pure information that is
00:07:31
crucial to any human and the evil
00:07:34
globalists want to replace this pure
00:07:36
information with evil soda that contains
00:07:40
microplastics and Nano chips that are
00:07:43
meant to flow through us like through a
00:07:45
laptop but enough about his insane takes
00:07:48
spiritual beliefs and superwater what
00:07:51
about his master plan about leading
00:07:54
Romania into the new age well in his
00:07:57
presidential campaign titled food water
00:08:00
energy J Jesu claims that he wishes to
00:08:03
make the country more Sovereign and
00:08:05
friendlier to the small business owner
00:08:08
and he plans to achieve this by the
00:08:09
Romanian State owning 51% of businesses
00:08:12
and resource exploitation programs in
00:08:15
the country if you personally ask him
00:08:17
about the campaign he will explain it as
00:08:20
such and what could colinger Jesu be
00:08:23
referring to when he mentions energy
00:08:26
well you guessed it water baby and I'm
00:08:29
not just talking about those lame ass
00:08:31
water plants hell no you're not thinking
00:08:33
far enough into the
00:08:34
future Colin J jesu's dream is to build
00:08:38
the first ever water pipeline because in
00:08:41
two to three years that lame old thing
00:08:43
known as gasoline that the entire world
00:08:46
runs on that's going to be completely
00:08:49
Obsolete and we'll all be running on
00:08:51
water power so it's the perfect chance
00:08:54
for Romania to conquer the world using
00:08:56
the power of water and billions must
00:08:59
invest in water stocks I really hope
00:09:01
we're not going to get any noise
00:09:02
complaints say what you will about Jesu
00:09:05
he might be a complete lunatic but he's
00:09:07
a lunatic with plans ideas Concepts
00:09:11
Vision you just simply can't help but
00:09:14
feel intrigued and curious about the
00:09:17
master plans this man has for Romania's
00:09:20
future his ingenious plan to invest in
00:09:23
the biggest industry in the world horses
00:09:27
horses I'm going
00:09:30
all in all Jesu has some plans for the
00:09:33
beautiful country of Romania and its
00:09:35
people which according to him cannot
00:09:37
discern good from Evil and they need a
00:09:41
savior a man of God who will help them
00:09:44
Checkmate the entire International stage
00:09:47
Jesu doesn't want to pull us out from
00:09:49
one sphere of influence into another no
00:09:51
no no no he wishes for Romania to shape
00:09:53
its own destiny alone without any
00:09:56
foreign interference or as he puts it
00:09:59
there is no East or West there is only
00:10:03
Romania a line which was stolen word for
00:10:06
word from the former president and
00:10:08
eternal l king yonas but as you probably
00:10:12
have noticed by now Jesu does not shy
00:10:14
away from spreading lives of
00:10:16
misinformation on the internet
00:10:17
essentially all he's doing is sewing
00:10:19
seeds of distrust and skepticism and
00:10:22
just overall Insanity amongst Romanian
00:10:25
Society unsurprisingly he also has some
00:10:28
very strong opinions when when it comes
00:10:29
to covid-19 and the pandemic or as he
00:10:32
likes to call it the planemic because
00:10:36
apparently no one has ever seen this
00:10:38
virus and uh everyone's just lying about
00:10:40
it his main point is that the virus has
00:10:43
to be fake because no one has seen is
00:10:46
this virus in the room with us type
00:10:48
of course he wouldn't be this bombastic
00:10:50
person without also having strong
00:10:52
opinions about 5G towers and U as he
00:10:55
puts it the ultra powerful beacons of
00:10:58
Sac geometry known as the pyramids of
00:11:01
Egypt whose true power still stays
00:11:03
dormant and waits to be awakened of
00:11:06
course we can't talk about his beliefs
00:11:08
in conspiracy theories without
00:11:09
mentioning the classic one that of
00:11:11
course the moon landing was fake however
00:11:13
credit where credit is due his P it is a
00:11:16
bit different than the regular one
00:11:18
shiver Me timers I wonder if there's any
00:11:20
country in the world right now that
00:11:21
would benefit from uh the sewing of the
00:11:24
seed of doubt in American success in the
00:11:27
Space Race but those were just some
00:11:29
speculatory links and loose correlations
00:11:32
let's take a look at the real cases of
00:11:35
Putin blazing now Jesu has praised
00:11:38
Russia and its leader Putin numerous
00:11:40
times claiming that Putin is one of the
00:11:42
last true leaders left on this Earth and
00:11:45
that he cares for his country so much
00:11:48
and his people hence he has stated that
00:11:50
Romania's best chance is with Russian
00:11:53
wisdom which of course when a genius
00:11:55
political analyst like Jo Jesu says is
00:11:58
true it certainly must be because Jesu
00:12:01
like the true genius that he is he
00:12:03
claimed that Denmark got its name from
00:12:05
daa and Gaza got its name from gas
00:12:09
coincidence I think not also is that
00:12:13
bottled water next to him oh my God the
00:12:16
global is got him holy and if his
00:12:19
allegiances weren't clear enough on
00:12:21
numerous occasions he has criticized
00:12:23
Romania's two greatest alliances that
00:12:26
being with the EU and NATO regarding
00:12:28
NATO his claimed it's the weakest
00:12:30
military Alliance on Earth and that it
00:12:31
wouldn't come to save Romania in the
00:12:33
case of an invasion of a foreign power
00:12:35
and that it doesn't serve Romania's
00:12:37
National goals by plunging the country
00:12:39
into a war that it's not interested in
00:12:42
referring of course to the War uh
00:12:45
between Russia and Ukraine that's going
00:12:47
on right on Romania's doorstep he's also
00:12:49
went on a record that stated that NATO
00:12:51
would never intervene to save Romania
00:12:53
and has also stated the US ballistic
00:12:56
missile system housed in southern
00:12:57
Romania was a diplomatic embarrassment
00:13:01
which when accounting for General
00:13:03
Romanian sentiment about the EU and NATO
00:13:05
makes such claims at the best worrying
00:13:08
and at the worst extremely suspicious
00:13:11
when talking about the EU he claims that
00:13:13
the Romanian revolution of 1989 was
00:13:16
basically staged and a coup orchestrated
00:13:18
by the West just so that Romania could
00:13:20
be vassalized and the West could exploit
00:13:22
its resources and people for their own
00:13:24
benefit when talking about the shenen
00:13:26
area he stated that it is a great honor
00:13:28
that ROM Rania is not a part of that
00:13:30
General stage where everyone is just
00:13:32
completely brainwashed now this in
00:13:34
general has been quite shocking to the
00:13:36
Romanian people because up until now
00:13:39
Romania has been seen and generally was
00:13:42
uh the you's biggest cheerleader as well
00:13:44
as nates uh because ever since joining
00:13:47
the EU Romanian standard of living has
00:13:49
gone up tremendously with its economy
00:13:52
going up uh standard of living
00:13:54
unemployment going down so much so that
00:13:57
the country has surpassed its biggest
00:13:59
rival Hungary in almost every single
00:14:01
regard when it comes to Nato Romania in
00:14:03
general has benefited a great ton
00:14:05
because NATO has provided deeply needed
00:14:08
security to the country considering
00:14:10
Russia or the USSR in the past has
00:14:12
invaded neighboring countries such as
00:14:14
mova and uh Georgia uh as well as
00:14:18
Ukraine right now Romania believes that
00:14:21
it could at one point be a target of
00:14:24
Russian aggression uh and considering
00:14:26
that Romania has around 19 million
00:14:28
people people in Russia around 143
00:14:31
million alone Romania wouldn't really
00:14:33
stand a chance hence the need for NATO
00:14:36
now of course NATO Skeptics would argue
00:14:39
that Russia has no intentions in
00:14:41
invading Romania however again I would
00:14:44
like to state that in the past several
00:14:47
decades it has done exactly that to its
00:14:49
neighbors and kind of that to mova so
00:14:54
you never know uh either way staying in
00:14:56
NATO is more beneficial in Romania's
00:14:59
survival in the eyes of Romanians then
00:15:01
staying outside of it and just relying
00:15:04
on yourself against a much larger enemy
00:15:06
now Jo Jesu scrutinizing these two
00:15:08
institutions the EU and NATO has shook
00:15:11
Romanians to their core especially as
00:15:13
out of all the presidential nominees he
00:15:16
won by far the largest amount of votes
00:15:18
at 23% what Disturbed him even more was
00:15:21
this dystopian election map where
00:15:23
apparently in the West in Liberal
00:15:26
countries the Romanian diaspora
00:15:27
overwhelmingly V voted for Jo Jesu while
00:15:31
the rain the aspirate authoritarian
00:15:33
countries such as Russia and Turkey
00:15:35
voted for Elena lasone his second runner
00:15:38
up now even if we were to disregard this
00:15:40
General populist farri Dogma anti-eu
00:15:44
anti- Nat skepticism which let's be real
00:15:46
has been rising throughout Europe he
00:15:49
still has essentially praised both
00:15:51
Romania's fascist and communist regimes
00:15:54
which is extremely worrying to say the
00:15:57
least in 202 to Jesu openly praised Yan
00:16:01
antonescu Romania's fascist prime
00:16:03
minister during World War II who
00:16:04
facilitated the Holocaust in the country
00:16:06
as well as his henchman Cornelio Zia
00:16:09
cadano calling them Heroes as you can
00:16:11
imagine these statements in particular
00:16:13
ruffled a lot of fethers in Romania as
00:16:16
practically every Romanian has a family
00:16:18
member or has themselves experienced the
00:16:21
horror of living under the chesu regime
00:16:24
and uh some have even experienced living
00:16:26
on anesco calling the Romanian martys
00:16:28
who who died for Romania's freedom in
00:16:30
December a farce uh was especially
00:16:33
upsetting and disrespectful not only to
00:16:35
the people but the entire country as a
00:16:37
whole now previously to this year uh no
00:16:39
one really even knew who the hell Colin
00:16:41
Jes was so his rly power was kind of out
00:16:45
of nowhere and paired with his extremist
00:16:47
views of anti- nat anti-eu praising
00:16:50
Russia praising the Iron Guard and uh
00:16:52
just general conspiracy theories many
00:16:54
started to suspect that there was
00:16:56
something deeper going on as a result
00:16:58
the constitutional Court opened up an
00:17:00
investigation as they should since he
00:17:03
proudly declared that his entire
00:17:04
presidential campaign cost him a zero
00:17:07
Lan how is that possible well apparently
00:17:10
only our big man J Jesu can do it surely
00:17:13
he managed to win the first round of
00:17:15
presidential election for free right
00:17:17
well after some investigation it seems
00:17:19
that Colin Jesu had crafted an
00:17:21
impressive mass media Network in order
00:17:23
to spread his message without the
00:17:25
classic TV adverts or straight
00:17:27
Billboards his campaign was then
00:17:29
propagated by who of money hungry people
00:17:32
such as businessmen and grifters corrupt
00:17:34
government officials paid influencers
00:17:36
with no political background neol
00:17:38
legionaires AKA Romanian Orthodox
00:17:40
neo-nazis mercenaries and other Shady
00:17:43
people or interlopi as they are known
00:17:46
here even high members of the Roman
00:17:48
Orthodox Church broke the law by
00:17:50
promoting his nominations such as
00:17:51
Archbishop of tomis Theodosia who also
00:17:54
went out of his way to call Vladimir
00:17:56
Putin a man of peace and reconciliation
00:17:59
as I'm making this video in December
00:18:01
2024 uh the Romanian police have
00:18:03
conducted several raids against J jusu
00:18:06
and his properties in search of evidence
00:18:08
uh to prove Russian meddling and
00:18:11
financing in the Romanian elections
00:18:13
currently the investigation is trying to
00:18:15
prove claims of money laundering
00:18:16
corruption and Computer Fraud going on
00:18:19
in one of the raids a link was
00:18:21
established between J Jesu and ban pish
00:18:24
a mysterious donor uh who is believed to
00:18:27
be directly founded by Russia and who
00:18:29
has donated over β¬1 1 million to Jesu
00:18:32
and his campaign for evidence suggests
00:18:34
that Jesu utilized directly or
00:18:37
indirectly thousands of fake accounts to
00:18:39
bolster his standing in the campaign
00:18:42
around 5,000 accounts that pedal his
00:18:44
narrative have been confirmed to be fake
00:18:46
while Tik Tok officially removed over
00:18:48
150 accounts linked to J Jesu over 7
00:18:50
million fake likes acquired by him and
00:18:52
other fake profiles as well as over
00:18:55
1,000 accounts that imitated candidate
00:18:57
profiles because of the ongoing
00:18:59
investigation against J Jesu and his
00:19:01
presidential campaign the Romanian
00:19:03
constitutional court has decided to
00:19:04
anold the election results of the first
00:19:06
round of the presidential elections and
00:19:08
has decided to hold again the first
00:19:11
round sometime in 2025 the court went
00:19:14
for the record and said that the
00:19:16
decision to anol the first round was due
00:19:18
to procedural issues and the
00:19:19
declassification of the secret reports
00:19:22
by the Romanian intelligence Services
00:19:24
showing Russian involvement in
00:19:25
influencing voters through an
00:19:26
anti-western propaganda campaign
00:19:28
supporting J Jesu as a result of the
00:19:31
Court's ruling Colin J jesu's voters as
00:19:33
well as Elena lasone us second runnerup
00:19:37
candidate have gone out to condemn the
00:19:38
decision calling it undemocratic illegal
00:19:41
and immoral but again considering
00:19:43
there's a literal investigation and
00:19:45
there is evidence suggesting that Russia
00:19:48
did in fact medal in Romania's elections
00:19:50
if you ask me it's U quite fair I mean
00:19:52
in fting it's a bit hypocritical for
00:19:54
jeesu to go on and say how he wants
00:19:57
Romania to Sovereign and um independent
00:20:01
from any foreign powers but then at the
00:20:03
same time also accept funding from a
00:20:05
literal foreign power uh a great one in
00:20:08
fact but I guess it's okay because you
00:20:10
know Russia isn't in the youth so
00:20:12
Romania isn't the vassel then a lot of
00:20:14
people also claimed that this only
00:20:15
happened because Jesu was you know far
00:20:18
right and anti-establishment which if
00:20:20
you ask me is also complete
00:20:22
because if you look at the Romanian
00:20:24
Parliament this completely disproves
00:20:26
this entire point now if we take a look
00:20:28
at the election results of the Romanian
00:20:30
Parliament we can see that the super
00:20:31
Coalition between PES and Fen together
00:20:34
amount to around 48.5% of the vote while
00:20:37
the opposition which is mostly far right
00:20:39
has garnered around 28.5% of the vote
00:20:43
which no matter how you look at it is
00:20:44
not a small number and definitely
00:20:46
extremely influential especially uh when
00:20:49
it comes to the legislative body of
00:20:51
Romania with this in mind a lot of
00:20:54
Romania's far right and right in general
00:20:57
have been e skeptic some even NATO
00:21:00
skeptic and have been anti-establishment
00:21:02
and none have really been prosecuted and
00:21:05
have had significant influence in
00:21:08
legislature because again 28.5% isn't
00:21:11
that small but the difference between
00:21:13
them and J Jesu is Jesu although he
00:21:16
might have pedal some similar ideas
00:21:18
similar to Shaka or gor Simon They
00:21:21
didn't accept Russian funding at least
00:21:23
not directly hence the investigation no
00:21:26
one's really going on on a wit it's
00:21:29
literally just uh hey maybe uh don't
00:21:32
take russan money simple but anyways
00:21:35
those are just my two sents in regarding
00:21:38
entire thing please let me know in the
00:21:39

00:21:43
