Harry Nilsson (Brooklyn (New York), 15 juni 1941 – Agoura Hills (Californië), 15 januari 1994) was een Amerikaans componist, pianist, zanger en gitarist. Bijna al zijn werk werd onder de naam Nilsson uitgegeven. Aan het eind van de jaren zestig vertolkte hij met succes het liedje "Everybody's Talkin'" en in 1971 brak hij door met het album Nilsson Schmilsson. In de avonduren werkte hij bij een bank en overdag schreef Nilsson liedjes voor muziekuitgevers. Het lukte hem aanvankelijk niet om als artiest bekend te raken. Zijn composities werden echter wel opgenomen door bekende muziekgroepen en artiesten, onder wie The Monkees, The Yardbirds, Lulu en Blood, Sweat & Tears. Hij schreef tevens drie liedjes voor Phil Spector, die gespeeld werden door The Ronettes en het Modern Folk Quartet. In 1966 kwam een compilatie van zijn eerste werk uit met als titel Spotlight on Nilsson. https://hvdommelen.nl/n/Nilsson.html

Sandu Negrea asked which politician had managed to bring people out into the street for days on end, in the country and in the diaspora, while being in prison, and answered that he did not know any. He claimed that the Western world had learned that Romania was abusing democracy through Romanians. Negrea questioned the judgment capacity of political leaders and state authorities and stated that the cancellation of the elections had been unnecessary. He predicted that a "steamroller" was about to fall upon them and criticized them for having turned Călin Georgescu into a symbol and almost a martyr, even though he was still alive. The post ended with the name Crina Dobre. #România #democrație #proteste (translated)

Acosti argued that Călin Georgescu's opponents were afraid of him because, in his opinion, they could not conceive that someone could act out of conviction and patriotism, without seeking a position or reward. He stated that Georgescu selflessly loved his country and possessed qualities such as stature, eloquence, and soul. The author accused Georgescu's critics of confusing position and wealth with value and respect, mentioning cars like the BMW X6 and Range Rover. He argued that dignity and character could not be obtained through positions, company cars, or image campaigns, and that power belonged to the Romanian people. Acosti further stated that the opponents' fear stemmed from the comparison with Georgescu, whom he described as a respected man without invoking his position. In his view, his presence made the imperfections of the critics more visible, and they were afraid of what they lacked. #România #Patriotism #Dreptate (translated)
