A few overarching comments. To some extent, one can say, that this is the consummation of the revenge of the former Securitate and, from the grave, Nicolae Ceausescu. The role of the Securitate gradually diminishes from the discussion of the repression in Timisoara through the repression in Bucharest and elsewhere on 21-22 December to the point that is disappears after 22 December as an actor with any responsibility. This is not a “mistaken impression” as some of the blind defenders of the procuracy have advocated, it comes through as one reads the 198 page rechizitoriu. I will unpack the charges and supporting material in the coming days and weeks, but at this point a first cut of sorts highlighting the combination of arrogance and ignorance that this document puts forward. Do they really think, nobody has been paying attention these past three decades?! (for now, I will attach the links of others, for the most part, below, to demonstrate my points)
- This is rich indeed. As if the only or first or main accusation was that those forces who were transported to Sibiu on the night of 20 December 1989 were from the Army, DIA? NO MENTION WHATSOEVER OF THE INITIAL ACCUSATIONS THAT THEY WERE FROM THE SECURITATE’S USLA, OF THE CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN NICU CEAUSESCU, TUDOR POSTELNICU, NICU SILVESTRU, ETC.
2. The prosecutors focus on Gl. Lt. Nicolae Eftimescu as the “mastermind” of the Army’s diversion. Why? Because they are subtly pushing the KGB (more like GRU) Russian filosovietic conspiracy theory, with him acting in cahoots with Nicolae Militaru…hmmm, where did this idea come from? Here are the results of some searches from the internet…Liviu Tit Domsa si Victor Lungu, si Craciun si Delcea…

The allegations regarding the Military Technical Academy are particularly unfair/ridiculous.
3. The beginning/end of this is about the famous Defense Ministry incident…the prosecutors clearly parrot the former Securitate’s revisionist historiography:

as for the idea, that ONLY the Defense Ministry controlled communications or communicated after 22 December…where does one start with this bold faced lie?…
4. Rather incredibly, they still have not amended the easily disprovable stupidities about Rus, the repainting of the helicopters, and their missions in Bucharest…I long ago explored this based on the revelations/recounting of those who prepared and flew the helicopters from the Boteni base…
5. Oh, the irony of this, given the Militaru-Eftimescu line of the prosecutors…the most likely source of this…Valentin Vasilescu…
