Colin Powell's chief of staff Lawrence Wilkerson: the Americans got rid of Calin Georgescu

Retired U.S Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson in this interview with Glenn Diesen explains that he was told by someone in the US government that the Americans were going to get rid of Calin Georgescu, who won the first round of the Romanian presidential election in November 2024.

"As I said in Georgia we just messed up. In Romania we didn't mess up we [I] don't know exactly how we did it but I know we did it because someone called me and told me they were going to do it and we did it."

I assumed when the election was cancelled that America had ordered it but some people I spoke to think it was the Romanian deep state acting spontaneously. 

If any country has a deep state, Romania does.


Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson says America has been using dirty tricks to spread Nato to every country in Europe west of Russia. This is the background to the Kiev revolutions in 2004 and 2014 and the present war in Ukraine.

Journalist Pelle Nethrop Taylor and a number of other Swedes say that Nato is the international deep state and used dirty tricks to persuade Sweden and Finland to join NATO. 

The phrase deep state comes from Turkey (and dates back decades (to the 1970s?)

Nato and the Turkish deep state were entwined from the start.

Swedish academic Ola Tunander borrowed the expression for Sweden. (It was then adopted by Americans in 2017.)

A number of incidents involving Russian submarines entering Swedish waters occurred in the 1980s. 

Ola Tunander says most of these incursions were NATO hoaxes.

Classified documents support the theory and Royal Navy submarine captains have admitted to carrying out top-secret operations in Swedish waters.

With the Russian invasion of the Ukraine the Anglo-Americans finally got what they wanted when Sweden and Finland joined Nato.

Pelle Taylor was told by a retired South African spy that MI6 was responsible for the murder of Olaf Palme. 

This sounds extremely unlikely to me.

Still I have read so much about assassinations and coups carried out by the CIA and MI6 that my head spins. 

A source I cannot name but whose authority is absolutely unquestionable told me that the Americans used bribery to put in their man Sali Berisha as president and later in 1997 organised the collapse of pyramid schemes that wrecked the economy, causing vast hardship, so that they could get rid of him.

$1.2 billion was lost by Albanians as a result of this American scam.

I was in Serbia until Tuesday and spoke to some people about President Aleksandar Vukic. He has been masterful about being friends with Putin but also with Macron and other Western leaders.


The latest demonstrations against him started the day I left.


No doubt corruption and incompetence has kept the railway line from Belgrade to Subotica closed so long. 

I well understand why the death of 17 people when the roof collapsed at the new Novi Sad station has created a revolutionary situation.

Something similar happened in Bucharest when 64 people died in a nightclub which had not been checked for fire safety for many years. 

That brought about the fall of Victor Ponta's government and I am sure the Americans did not play any part in that.

But after what we know now from so many sources about CIA regime change operations, and remembering Biden saying Putin had to go, I would be rather surprised if the Americans are not involved to an extent in Serbia too. 

Although as USAID is gone perhaps not 

Postscript.

Wilkerson said in an interview on the BBC's Newsnight, on January 17, 2007, that an Iranian offer to help in stabilising Iraq, in return for lifting sanctions, was turned down by Donald Rumsfeld. Why?

In March 2009, Wilkerson wrote on The Washington Note blog that it was soon known by the Bush administration that some captives in Guantanamo were innocent but they were held anyway in case they had useful information.

He also suggested the Ghouta chemical attack was an Israeli false flag operation. 

I don't know about that but Peter Hitchens  thinks the chemical weapons story a fabrication.

Importantly, no word about Syrian chemical weapons has been heard since the fall of the House of Assad.
