Ceausescu's pro-natalist policies through the story of the Romanian orphans
December 1989. The Ceausescu regime collapses. The world discovers the horrible extent of this dictatorship, especially images showing hundreds of thousands of children confined and abused in orphanages. Marion is one of these orphans, a devil’s child, as she calls herself. A French couple adopted her when she was 6 years old. Today, at the age of 37, she has just given birth to her first child; this event brings her back to her own past, when she was abandoned the day she was born.

From 1966 to 1989, Nicolae Ceausescu’s Romania led a violent policy to support a rising birth rate. The tyrant’s purpose was to double the population and to establish the state authority on families. Prohibition of abortion, contraception outlawed before the fourth child, tax on couples without children... Immediate effect and a slogan which will be engraved forever in Romanian collective memory: Make babies, the government will take care of them. For years, the dictator’s voice and face were everywhere: he was the Nation’s father. The only father figure for thousands of children abandoned by poor families. More than 100,000 children went through the orphanage of the dictatorship. Thus, Romania became sadly famous for its orphanages, also known as casa de copii (children’s homes). 25 years later, Romania still struggles to heal its wounds. Marion wants to retrace her past, along with Elisabeth Blanchet who has photographed Ceausescu’s orphans. We will follow her in her quest, in a road movie across Romania, as the country prepares to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the dictator’s fall.

    Archaeologists have unearthed 73 strange mummies in Peru, some with carved masks, from different time periods ranging from around AD800 to AD1100. The mummies were found in funerary bundles in a “spectacular” state of preservation at Pachacamac - the site of an extensive complex of cemeteries dating to the expansion period of the Wari empire. Some of the mummies came with masks made of carved wood and ceramics, on so-called “false heads”, meant to give the dead a lifelike presence as they moved to the “world of the ancestors”, say researchers from the University of Warsaw.thesemasks look just alike the ceramic figurines in this video,at 15.16 , 31.11 and 33.32 . maybe there's a linkt to the nazca people?

    I don't know about you, but the huge nazca-lines are still a mystery to science, their story is just a believe, which does not hold stand overtime. And the problem is : they do not aknowledge it to the public. The next step is obviously, the search for the reason why so much rain did fall continuously? Or more directly; why was there so much water in the sky? Or should we have to point them to the impact researchgroup ( Mass, Abott, Bregger et all.) who most likely are able to find the oceanic impact spot? Was Tiwanaku washed away by the same flood? I liked the first part very much anyways.

    Here's a theory, which seems obvious to me, though I haven't heard anyone else suggest it. Stalin tried to have Tito assassinated 22 times! (or 21, I forget). Each time, the would-be assassin was apprehended. Tito then sent a message to Stalin, stating that if Stalin tried that again, he would send HIS assassin after Stalin, and he'd only need one attempt. Then, in 1953, Stalin died, allegedly of natural causes. If you believe THAT, I have some fine ocean-front property in western New Mexico you might like to buy 🙂. I always thought it was the Politburo members who whacked "Uncle Joe," out of fear of a second purge. Then I learned of Stalin's attempts to kill Tito, and Tito's response. I ALSO learned that when Stalin died, yet another plan to whack Tito was in the works. Was Tito responsible for Stalin's death? Or maybe, it was a cooperative effort of Tito & Stalin's potential future victims?

    I was“put out of the service” (meaning I was fraudulently discharged to hide that I (and others like myself) had been exposed to things that the government wanted to remain hidden. I was marked RE-4 (not qualified for military service for medical), I was placed on a med board for myofacial pain syndrome, and yet all of that was set aside so that the military could put me up on trial (board of my peers) to try to mark me as a bad Marine. I was kept past my EAS just so they could ensure that I didn’t get a medical discharge. Talk about HONOR, INTEGRITY, and all those other things that my commands didn’t practice. The VA has BLACKBALLED me because I speak up against them. This includes the VFW, the American Legion and any other Veterans organization that has to bow down to the VA to get money and be quiet about the VA’ s misconduct. From Veterans being treated like malingerers, or being told at their mental health appointments “WHAT ARE YOU HERE TO WHINE ABOUT TODAY”, or my wife's favorite was,“YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD BY NOW.”
