THE MARTYRDOM OF THE TUMOR AND THE CONVULSIONS OF ITS PRESS ENTITIES Mythomania is destroying Dan Voiculescu

Click!, I turn on Antena 3 on CNN, and I see "TV CHANNEL SEIZED" displayed on the screen, in red letters.

And it gets me thinking.

"How can this be?!"

If the TV station has been seized, then it should not be able to post that.

It could only do that if it wasn't actually seized.

Television is a non-interactive video-game, the only two reactions allowed are changing the channel or turning off the TV.

My finger gets stuck on the remote, when the beautiful mestizo Laura Nureldin comes on: "Antena 3 is the most credible TV station".

The remote falls out of my hand.

Stating that you are the most credible TV station, just as you are displaying a lie that says it has been seized!

Laura Anca Mariam Nureldin, aged 35 and coming from Iaşi, is a graduate of the university of psychology Hyperion.

I've heard that they've now eliminated the study of logic in Psychology colleges.

I've examined the classes that Hyperion includes in the curriculum of the University of Psychology and indeed, I did not find logic among them.

Shame!

From the very beginning of studying logic, you are faced with the two definitions given by Aristotle, for sentences that are true:

1. True sentences are those that unite things that exist together in reality and separate things that exist apart in reality (Physics);

2. True sentences are those which claim that what is is and what is not is not (Metaphysics).

It's no big deal.

These are common sense definitions.

But if one doesn't know them, then how can one major in Psychology?

For example, in Psychology, she must have studied, for example, "mythomania", which is defined as "the innate tendency to twist the truth", with its four manifestations:

1. Malignant. Tied to an inferiority complex, which it must compensate for;

2. Vain. The mythomaniac is trying to demonstrate his worth, without any compunctions;

3. Wandering. The mythomaniac constantly lies, as a form of escapism;

4. Perverse. The goal of the lies is to defraud others (the mythomaniac is a crook).

How can one recognize "the twisting of the truth", if they do not know what the "truth" is?!

But maybe the university curriculum is not fully to blame for the blatantly misleading nature of the "SEIZED TV STATION" messages displayed by Antena 3, even as it does a full-on broadcast. Because the mythomania is not the result of ignorance, rather, it has a major dose of immorality as well.

Furthermore, the beautiful Laura Nureldin did not say that Antena 3 broadcasts "the truth", but rather, that it is the most credible TV station", and between what is credible and what is true there are some distinctions - what is credible is what is likely, what one believes, not what is real.

I feel a bit more relieved, I can keep thinking of Nureldin in a sympathetic manner.

Nureldin got hired at Antena 3 in August 2012, immediately after the referendum of July 29th, which was designed by the team surrounding Voiculescu as an operation to overthrow Băsescu from the presidency, at a time which the USL thought was right (and indeed it was, due to the very serious mistakes made by the Boc and Ungureanu governments, connected to president Băsescu by an umbilical cord as they were), amid an unprecedented anti-presidential campaign, orchestrated by the media entities of Voiculescu (Sorin Ovidiu Vîntu had been arrested in June 2012, and his channel, Realitatea TV, was in full process of political repositioning, and thus it did not join the TV channels owned by Voiculescu in their campaign, like it did in the first attempt to suspend Băsescu, in February 2007).

Before she joined the media trust of Dan Voiculescu, the beautiful mestizo had worked for Realitatea TV, Naţional TV, The Money Channel and TVR Info, so, when she says that "Antena 3 is the most credible TV station", it definitely has a personal benchmark to compare against and if Antena 3 is the most credible, then I can only imagine what things are like inside the other networks.

Therefore, it is possible that, from her point of view, she is not lying, in fact, since "what is credible" is not the same as "what is true", it may indeed be the most credible station.

And yet, Nureldin can not ignore the fact that "The professor" is the founder and the "mentor" of the "Antena" network and she can not ignore what people are saying about him and his media trust.

Dan Voiculescu is a proven member of the former political police, who used "the system" to get rich, and he then left it, to escape the control it would have on his actions, fortune and businesses; meaning he started within the system, but he didn't stay with it until the end, in order to keep his winnings.

Dan Voiculescu used the money he earned, to create a press group, copying the abject and polished "model" of PRO TV: increasing ratings through boorish entertainment, in order to use the media influence as a bargaining chip; in the case of PRO TV, "the media currency" was used to buy fiscal leeway; in the case of the Antena network of TV stations, the "media currency" was used by Voiculescu to buy his position on the political stage, through a party which, like another politician, Corneliu Vadim Tudor used to say, would disappear simply by being unplugged (besides, Vadim himself had provided the "model" for creating a political party, based on the audience of a media entity); in both cases, the "media currency" was converted into real money (worth mentioning, the Antena trust did receive some fiscal leeway, although, truth be told, to a lesser degree than PRO TV).

Dan Voiculescu stepped back from the limelight of managing his businesses (as well as from the management of his political party), by acting through proxies - his daughters, to whom he apparently signed over the media trust - and resorting to using off-shore companies as cover (the whole "ingeniousness" of the system mimicked that used by his friend/enemy Sorin Ovidiu Vîntu), meaning that he was capable of lying with a straight face - "I am a mere pensioner" ("The professor" is not very skilled at anything - I've read a few phrases of his doctoral thesis and I've felt like pulling out my hair -, but he likes to use half-truths for building a parallel universe, which no one in their right minds would believe in).

Dan Voiculescu hijacked the citizens' discontent against the governments that were obedient to Băsescu, to turn it against the latter (the booze-happy, trouble maker president during whose term arrests and convictions that would have been unfathomable earlier), sensing that his time to face the legal system would come; while attempting to defend him, the propaganda of his so-called "press" trust, was incapable of subtlety, and therefore replaced it with the persistence of lies, which were most often rudimentary, using the opportunity to popularize and spread the use of unsupported claims and of twisting everything at will, with the trust becoming an epicenter of national mythomania.

But Dan Voiculescu, has finally been tried, found guilty, sentenced and sent to prison for ten years (like a movie character says, "you have been weighed, measured and found wanting").

Obviously, the facts can be interpreted as a revenge of Băsescu the sailor and perhaps that is what they are, but claiming that Voiculescu is a noble fighter against tyranny, a patriot and a hockey player, when he is in fact a proven former member of the Communist secret police and thief, who fell on his back with everyone watching upon the first attempt to skate across the ice with the stick, that is malignant mythomania; it's like the tumor that gets cut out complaining that it is martyred.

Announcing that Antena 3 has smashed every ratings record on the evening when Dan Voiculescu got arrested, well, broadcasting that kind of news, in such a circumstance, that is vain mythomania, (naturally, such a show was to be expected, both for the benefit of the faithful, as well as for those who were disgusted by the "journalism" practiced over there; it was time for the convulsions after the surgery; I was curious, myself, just like you sometimes try to sniff out something rotten, to watch the delirious show of solidarity with a crook, of an entire "press group", synthesized in the Adventist tones of the righteous Mr. Gâdea).

Launching the slogan "Antena 3 is here", when no one has kicked you out of the building (by the way, I don't know how that building became the property of Voiculescu; in the time of Ceauşescu, it used to be a training center for the Civilian Defense, hosted by the military aviation), that is wandering mythomania.

Displaying the message "TV CHANNEL SEIZED", when it's merely the landlord that has changed, that is perverse mythomania.

The beautiful psychologist Laura Nureldin disregarded the signs of mental disease displayed by its TV station and informed us that Antena 3 is the most credible TV station (even though credibility and ratings are two different things) and maybe she wasn't lying from the ratings point of view.

But she did show us that mythomania can take the form of a gorgeous woman.

On a different occasion, I wrote that seeing Andrei Gheorghe and Corina Drăgotescu interview Dan Voiculescu was like watching a live broadcast from hell.

The devil and his goblins.

This time, we get live broadcasts from the place where the madness is taking place, altering our discernment.

Luckily, the intellectual level of "content" that is being spilled is so precarious.

"Professor, we are out here!"

OK.

And he is in jail.

I hope he comes out rehabilitated.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

It is to be expected that the fans of the TV stations of Dan Voiculescu will not consider this text as just an article, but rather call me a "supporter of Băsescu", just like they do whenever I don't attack him, or I don't attack him harshly enough.

The issue of the article is not of Băsescu, in fact, it's not even Voiculescu, but rather the collateral victims of the clash between them - the mental health of the nation, the national common sense and friendliness, altered by the horrible propaganda, deprived of any scruples, of any decency of arguments, practiced by the press of Voiculescu.

I wrote the article trying to find the words that would help convey the feelings of those readers who, concerned with other things than communication, did not have the time needed to do it themselves, even though I am convinced that if our readers tried it, they could do it better than I could.

That is why I have considered this article as a job duty.
