How the Globalist Propaganda Sees Me
How globalist propaganda sees me…
So the propagandists’ filth has appeared, the “article” prepared some months ago by the Soros networks of the Dâmbovița “press”:
“The network of lies: the Facebook influencers who ventilate conspiracies, disinformation and pro-Kremlin propaganda”
“Disinformation, pro-Russian narratives, far-right opinions and conspiracy theories are being rolled out on the social networks in the context of the war in Ukraine or of the medical and economic crises of recent years. In Romania, the ecosystem of opinion radicalisation, of influence over public debate and of the alteration of democratic values uses the Facebook platform as its chief vehicle. The disinformation operation is led by public figures, politicians, lawyers or journalists who have tens or hundreds of thousands of followers. Among the influencers of disinformation one notes George Simion, Dana Budeanu, Cristian Terheș, Iosefina Pascal, Diana Șoșoacă, Mihai Lasca, Dan Chitic, Adriana Bahmuțeanu and Șerban Nicolae.
(…)
Flavia Durach, a specialist in the study of disinformation, explained, in an interview given to Context.ro, that the term disinformation “specifically defines information that is distorted or entirely false and that is disseminated intentionally”.
Internet users with a lower level of media education, who have a chronic distrust of the mainstream media and of the authorities, and whose thinking inclines towards conspiracy theories, come to be exposed almost exclusively to disinformation, adds Flavia Durach, associate professor at the Faculty of Communication and Public Relations — SNSPA Bucharest, explaining that “in fact this balance is overturned between what would be an expert-type source and this alternative information ecosystem, which only seems to be information, but where in fact you find a mix of barely credible information, some of it false, and sometimes opinions that are not founded on evidence”.
Following the technical analysis carried out within the investigation The network of lies, in which we identified the sites that publish disinformation, we downloaded, with the help of the CrowdTangle API, the list of public Facebook groups and pages that had shared links to any of those domains. We refined the data to include only posts from the year 2022. We selected the groups and pages that had shared at least 3 links from these sites, yielding 1,696 Facebook groups and pages (map here). At a further stage, the database was limited to those public groups and pages that had shared at least 5 posts containing links to the domains in question. Thus we reduced the initial collection to a total of 782 public groups and pages from Romania.
The map below, produced with Gephi, an open-source program, shows the sites with disinformation content (red nodes) and the connected Facebook groups and pages (nodes in other colours). The colour of the clusters of groups and pages depends on Gephi’s modularity algorithm, which groups the more strongly connected nodes. This means that a cluster of Facebook groups and pages of a single colour supplied links to a particular site (or sites).

Dan Chitic is a lawyer and was one of the first promoters of the RoExit current, Romania’s exit from the EU. Together with Daniel Dragomir, a former SRI colonel criminally convicted of corruption and sent to trial by the anti-organised-crime directorate in the Black Cube case, he also founded an anti-European party, in 2019, called the National Alliance.
Together with his father, Chitic was a partner in a company whose majority shareholder was Sorin Roșca Stănescu, set up in 2004 and struck off in 2011. Later, Dan Chitic was SRS’s lawyer. He has also represented the husband of Diana Șoșoacă.
At the end of 2020, Chitic filed with the Bucharest Tribunal an application for a summons in order to “bring the defendant Facebook before the Romanian courts”, as the lawyer wrote on that same social network. His access to his page had been restricted after he had repeatedly breached the community standards. He claimed damages of 50 thousand euros, but the application was annulled by the court.
He organised and took part in protests against the restrictions of the Covid pandemic period and was fined for it. He then appealed to his supporters to donate money so that he could pay the penalties, and posted his personal bank accounts on Facebook.
Towards the end of 2021, *Sputnik ran the headline: “Dan Chitic and George Simion have joined forces”, after the two announced their mutual support for the projects they promote.
In 2022, the Sovereignty Law, devised by Chitic, Roșca Stănescu and other “representatives of civil society”, was tabled in Parliament by 23 elected members, of whom 15 from AUR, Diana Șoșoacă and Mihai Lasca. The draft, with its controversial provisions, which was also supported by George Simion, was rejected both by the plenary of the Chamber of Deputies and by that of the Senate.
Later, in August, the founding of a new party was announced, founded by Dan Chitic, the physician Răzvan Constantinescu, a well-known adherent of Covid conspiracy theories, and others. The Coalition for the Nation is a sovereigntist and conservative party whose project for the country is laid down by the Sovereignty Law, as Chitic maintains.
Disinformation is propagated on Dan Chitic’s Facebook pages, with over 60,000 followers and 37,000 respectively, and also on the group on the same platform, called Alături de Dan Chitic, which he moderates and which has gathered over 5,400 members in two years.
After Context asked him for a comment, Dan Chitic wrote on Facebook: “A new campaign of calumny, demonisation and defamation against me is being prepared. I have been ‘officially’ informed of it through the request for a ‘point of view’ regarding what appears to be an article in which I shall be branded with ‘politically correct’ wrath as a ‘Putinist’.” Dan Chitic did not answer the request sent by Context.ro.
