Draculea! Draculea is coming! Get out of my way!
Nobles: Protect us, Your Holiness!
Priest: We are inside the holy church, Your Highness.
Vlad Draculea Tepes: They should have come to the holy church before, not after!
Priest: You shall not murder! Love thy neighbor as you love yourself, lead his soul towards righteousness.
Vlad Draculea Tepes: I have to lead the country towards righteousness. Your Holiness should take care of the souls.
Priest: They are the business of every shepherd.
Vlad Draculea Tepes: Each shepherd with his pipe.
Priest: From Your Highness’s pipe comes a pagan sound.
Vlad Draculea Tepes: Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not murder. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house or anything that belongs to him. For all to go well with you.
Do the holy commandments sound like this or not?
The Priest: You have learned them, Your Highness, but you didn’t understand them.
Vlad Draculea Tepes: Have I ever done otherwise than being said? Have I ever punished for a different flaw? From your holiness’s pipe comes pagan sounds, when you want to protect the lawless.
Priest: God does not wish for the sinner’s death.
Vlad Draculea Tepes: But for his righteousness, I know.
But if they are commandments, let them be commandments.
In order to convert ten sinners into righteous men, one man should die.
In order to convert 100, ten must perish. Serving as an example.
In vain you ask the thief not to steal, the killer not to kill.
Asking does not accomplish anything. It is not the love of God
brings people to the church, but fear of the hell’s throes.
Priest: And Your Highness wants to embody them?
Vlad Draculea Tepes: If you heed my orders five of you will kill 100
A hundred will banish 10,000 and enemies will die by the sword in front of you. If you don’t heed my orders…
Priest: I will come with rage and punish you seven times for your sins.
You will perish, the land of your enemies will swallow you
Vlad Draculea Tepes: Do you want me to wait cross-handed for this punishment which means the country’s death?
Mehmed (the Ottoman Sultan) is close. The country should confront him like an invincible steel sword. Swords are hardened through fire, not words, your holiness.
Priest: -But not in hell’s fire.
Vlad Draculea Tepes: -I haven’t another handy.
This scene is from the Vlad Tepes 1979 movie depicting the life and work and sacrifice of Vlad Draculea, the voievod or ruler of Wallachia in mid 15th century.
That is what RO needs more than ever. A leader who can pardon the past but be merciless going forward.
Merciless. He should have no mother and no father. The Law should be one for all. And if he should notice his own cap turn traitor, he should cast it into the fire.
Merciless with self and others.
The world today is growing incandescent. Romania’s interests and destiny must be protected from a covetous world who aims to devour all small nations and feed them to Ba’al – the God of War and Mayhem.
The time for half-measures and dilly dallying and politics is gone. It is time to rally around the Flag and stand Tall.
We must do everything in our power to stop the encroachment of our rights and liberties by the great powers.
