It was simply by chance that I discovered the film Checkmate, the Romanian Revolution, a program that was broadcast by the Franco-German channel Arte in late 2004.
It was a decade ago that our media showed how the US had mounted its attack on the dictatorship of Nicolae Ceausescu at the end of 1989. Granted that the grotesque communist regime of Romanian dictator was a scourge for Romania, with its share of repression, political police and that ridiculous cult of personality of The Ceausescus; what is interesting in this film is the methodical and precise description of the means employed by American and Western intelligence agencies to bring down this regime. You will be struck by the parallels that can be matched up to the Ukrainian euromaidan.
It will of course not be in the spirit of my prose to defend Ceausescu's dictatorship, rather instead to show through this film that Americans have long mastered the techniques of destabilization of the regimes that are in their way.…
What is even more interesting is the declaration of a CIA network, indicating that one has to be careful not to suppose that only the Americans were on the job in this operation, suggesting an underground participation by other Western secret services.…
You will discover in this movie the incredible cynicism of those at the highest level who push the pawns with complete disdain for human life. The primary difference between the Romanian and Ukrainian case is that the latter has never been a dictatorship, and now the West, led by the Americans has passed from using these methods against dictators to using them against perfectly established democratic regimes.The US and other Western clandestine operations services were doing this long before Romania 1989. It was already SOP (standard operating procedure) in 1989, at which time the MO (modus operandi) had been tested and set in place.
