L'edificio più pesante del mondo è il Palazzo del Parlamento di Bucarest, in Romania: un gigante con una massa 41 volte maggiore rispetto al Colosseo. Stiamo parlando di un palazzo con un peso di 4,10 milioni di tonnellate per una superficie di 350.000 metri quadrati e 1100 stanze. La sua costruzione, costata 3 miliardi di euro, nasconde una storia terribile. Il Parlamento di Bucarest, infatti, fu realizzato nel 1984 dal dittatore rumeno Nicolae Ceausescu che - approfittando di un recente terremoto - fece demolire edifici ancora integri, obbligando più di 40mila persone ad allontanarsi dalle proprie abitazioni.

A harrowing firsthand account of daily life in a dictatorship from our host Sandra, tragic family stories, and the many shocking but clear similarities between Ceausescu's tyrannical regime and Donald Trump's ambitions for a second presidency.This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. Visit betterhelp.com/DUBIOUS today to get 10% off your first month of therapy. If you like our content, please become a patron to get all our episodes ad-free. Orange Jesus is a term coined not by democrats, but by Republicans themselves. In her new book entitled “Oath and Honor”, former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) describes a scene in which a fellow House member called former President Trump “Orange Jesus.” Cheney says that while in the GOP cloakroom in the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, members were encouraged to sign onto electoral vote objection sheets: “Among them was Republican Congressman Mark Green of Tennessee. As he moved down the line, signing his name to the pieces of paper, Green said sheepishly to no one in particular, ‘The things we do for the Orange Jesus.'” 1 “Trump is not only a danger to the United States and our democracy, but also a danger to the world. And because I was born in Romania and lived part of my life under a dictatorship, I think the best way to go about this subject is to tell some personal stories, things that happened to my family under Ceausescu's regime in Socialist/Communist Romania, make some analogies and point out some striking similarities between what Nicolae Ceausescu did in my native country, the aftermath of his policies, what some other dictators did too, and what Trump has done and plans to do here in the United States. The 2024 Presidential Elections have the potential, if Trump wins, to impact and reshape the geopolitical order.” – Sandra, Dubious Creator and Co-Host. Identified similarities: Refusal to relinquish power; Disdain for the free press; Censorship, propaganda and disinformation; Isolationism; Abortion bans; Criminalizing homosexuality and eroding LGBTQIA rights; Dehumanizing rhetoric like “vermin” (usually leads to genocide); Rampant corruption; Using religion to manipulate and radicalize people; Limited freedom of movement for certain demographics; The cult of personality; A love for grandiose military parades; Political repression; Turning truth on its head: Trump recently said that Joe Biden is a danger to democracy. Trump says he never swore an oath to support the constitution. His lawyers, in their appeal against the Colorado lawsuit, reiterated that the wording of Section Three of the 14th amendment does not apply to people running for president and that Trump technically did not swear an oath to "support" the Constitution. Trump: “I'll be a dictator, but only on day one.” 23 Donald Trump is the biggest danger to the world in 2024. A second Trump presidency would be more dangerous than the first to the United States and globally by orders of magnitude. 4 1.

Stephen Smith on our fascination with the belongings of the rich and famous... or infamous. 'Years ago, after the fall of the Romanian dictator, Nicolae Ceausescu,' writes Stephen, 'I entered his by now ransacked hunting lodge and made off with the late president's ....coat hanger. That's right: Ceausescu's coat hanger.' As the possessions of the altogether more savoury personality, Freddie Mercury, go on show next week before they are auctioned, Stephen ponders why we aspire to have and to hold something which belonged to a notable figure.

În acest episod, vorbesc despre copilăria lui Nicolae Ceaușescu și ascensiunea lui înspre cele mai înalte funcții de partid. Aflat la București și muncind ca ucenic de cizmar, el e atras de mișcarea comunistă. Arestat de mai multe ori, tânărul arată o determinare și o fidelitate remarcabilă față de partid. La Doftana și în alte penitenciare, e luat sub aripa "greilor", care îl simpatizează. După intrarea în legalitate a partidului, prietenia cu ilegaliștii din închisori se dovedește a fi tare utilă, iar Ceaușescu devine, până la 36 de ani, al doilea om în Partid. Pe plan politic, e plăcut a fi omul care numește oameni în funcții. Viața devine și ea mai dulce, familia Ceaușescu bucurându-se de ani buni și fericiți.Support the show

Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu were the iron-fisted Communist tyrants who ruled Romania for 24 brutal years.  During their reign, the Romanian people endured decades of oppression, murder, starvation, human rights abuses, political imprisonments, spying, involuntary commitments to mental institutions, threats, and thievery. It was a disgusting state of affairs. But when a minor protest blossomed into a full-fledged revolution, Ceausescu and his secret police were sent to flee their inevitable fate. And on Christmas Day in 1989, Elena and Nicolae Ceausescu would ultimately pay for their depraved and indifferent rule. Machine gunned down just minutes after their hastily conducted trial as they joined the dustbin of history. It's 'eye for an eye' justice on this episode of Smoke Filled Rooms.

“WE'RE NEVER GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS, OKAY?” On this week's episode of Retro Grade Podcast, we talk about 2007's 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, from Romanian filmmaker Cristian Mungiu starring Anamaria Marinca and Laura Vasiliu. Over the past few weeks, the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, giving states the ability to make abortions illegal to millions of people. We wanted to watch a film that covered that same scenario, and try to see the challenges that those characters went through to try and get an abortion. We go over the story, which see's Gabita trying to get an abortion during the1980s in Romania where they are illegal, and what her friend and roommate Otilia does to help her. We cover the setting, the structure, pace, tone and see how they all add to create a thriller that resembles a few other films that we have talked about on this podcast. We cover how the film was shot, with many long takes to add to the realism of the film and how the cinematography was used to put the viewer directly in the head of Otilia as she is constantly running into obstacles. We talk about the themes of the film, not only about what it says about abortions, but about oppression towards woman, the tactics some men will use to establish dominance over women, but also the camaraderie and friendship that will arise between women when facing oppression. Towards the second half of the episode, we begin to go over the real life setting that the film is based on, how Romania fell into economic turmoil, and how this lead to Decree 770, the decree by communist Romanian government of Nicolae Ceausescu. It restricted abortion and contraception, which did double the birth rate in the first few years, but would also increase the death toll of women from having illegal abortions, and increased the number of orphans in the country. We also try and see why so many films about unplanned pregnancies were released in such quick succession during 2007 (Knocked Up, Juno, Waitress, 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, and lastly Revolutionary Road). This is the most difficult film we have covered on the podcast, but thankfully we have a special guest that will help shed even more light on this topic, Victoria, co-host of the Impure, Rethought podcast which covers how purity, patriarchy, and profit have shaped Western culture, be sure to give them a listen!Music is from Triune Digital and audio clips pulled from movies we will be reviewing in other episodes.Artwork by @jannelle_o

C'est un véritable cas d'école de ce que l'on appelle un "emballement médiatique" que nous allons vous raconter ce soir dans "Jour J". Tout portait à croire que les faits étaient avérés, et pourtant il n'en était rien... Au départ, il y a un pays : la Roumanie et à sa tête un tyran, Nicolae Ceausescu. Il dirige le pays d'une main de fer depuis 34 ans. En 1989, le communisme disparaît peu à peu de la surface du globe, emporté par un vent de liberté qui trouve son apogée avec la chute du mur de Berlin, le 9 novembre 1989. Partout en Europe, les dictatures communistes sont tombées les unes après les autres, comme un château de cartes rouge, sans recours à une violence extrême.

Ruta Sepetys is a an acclaimed “crossover” author (read by both young people and adults) of historical novels. In her latest novel I Must Betray You (Philomel Books, 2022) published by Philomel Books in 2022, she dramatizes the last days of the communist dictatorship of Nicolae Ceausescu in Romania in 1989. A 17-year-old boy, Cristian Florescu, feels compelled to become one of the legions of civilian informants in the service of the regime to help his family. Young Cristian becomes involved in the violent revolution against the regime in December 1989. Sepetys' story reveals the real tensions among Romanians in this closed society and the angst that drove so many ordinary people to risk their lives in revolting against the totalitarian regime. Sepetys interviewed many who lived through the last days the Ceausescu regime in order to recreate, through the use of historically informed imagination, the inherent suspicion and fear of Romanians of not only their government but also their fellow countrymen.
