As Europe Falls into a Woke Dark Ages, One Nation Shines

by Dr. Miklos Szantho

You hear a lot about Hungary these days. To be fair, Prime Minister Viktor Orban does upset the delicate sensibilities of the progressive liberals. It is only natural then for Americans to wonder about this distant land that has become a prickling thorn in the side of the globalist Left.

An “age of discovery in reverse” has started, as intellectuals from Tucker Carlson through Jordan Peterson to Micheal Knowles explore for themselves the Hungarian conservative landscape in search of lessons to learn about politics and winning at the polls.

Most recently Dr. Shea Bradley Farrell published her brilliant book Last Warning to the West – Hungary’s Triumph over Communism and the Woke Agenda which takes a deep dive into Hungary’s history and samples our recipe for conservative success.

Hungary’s past is indeed fascinating. Many have dug our graves, but fell into theirs long before us. Our nation was always surrounded – and invaded often enough – by empires, from Byzantium through the Mongol horde to the Soviets.   Each of these great powers sought to assimilate us, either by conquest or cultural domination, but all failed............We have always taken our borders seriously and controlled them effectively; respected our religious roots and guarded our state sovereignty and constitutional traditions. The family is the cornerstone of our society. We have also recognized that demographics is not just a matter of sovereignty, but a geopolitical challenge as well............... To Read More...

Hungary Blocks $55B in EU Aid to Ukraine

Move came hours after bloc agreed to open membership talks with Kyiv 

By Rob Quinn, Dec 15, 2023 

The European Union agreed to open accession talks with Ukraine on Thursday—but Kyiv was dealt a blow hours later when Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban blocked $55 billion in EU aid. Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said the other 26 countries were in agreement on aid to Ukraine and there is still time to approve the long-term aid package, the BBC reports. "Ukraine is not out of money in the next few weeks," he said. "I am fairly confident we can get a deal early next year. We are thinking of late January."......To Read More....

Hungarian Prime Minister Orban at CPAC: The Democrats ‘Hate’ America

Jack Montgomery

Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán issued an astonishing denunciation of the United States’ governing Democrats at a speech in Texas, telling American conservatives they “hate you and slander you and the America you stand for.”

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s address to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Dallas, Texas, was made under something of a cloud, with the Hungarian leader having been under sustained attack from the establishment media for a July speech in which he said Hungarians did not wish to follow “post-Western” liberal governments’ immigration policies because they “do not want to become peoples of mixed-race.”

These comments were heavily emphasised by media outlets such as the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in their coverage of the CPAC speech — the fact that Orban subsequently clarified that the basis of his stance on immigration “is not biological… it is not a racial issue, it is a cultural issue” and that “it is beyond the pale for any political issue to be approached on a biological basis” was not reported — but he appeared to quickly win over his American audience............. 

 “This is not good for us. It’s bad,” he said, alleging that in previous years the administration of Biden’s former boss, Barack Obama, had gone so far as to “[try] to force us to change the Fundamental Law [constitution] of Hungary, and delete Christian and national values from it.”

“Do you get it? The leading power of the free world wanted to force us to change our constitution according to a globalist liberal concept,” he claimed, saying that, as a result of his government resisting these efforts, “we are not the favourites of the American Democrats.”...............Gender ideology, particularly in schools, was also addressed, with Orbán insisting that a border wall to protect the nation and a “financial wall” to protect families must be complemented by “a legal wall around our children to protect them” from far-left indoctrination..........“If traditional families are gone, there is nothing that can save the West from going under,.....To Read More....

Commentary: The American Right Can Learn from Orbán’s Big Win

by Jeremy Carl

Viktor Orbán has crushed the Left, again.

The Hungarian leader won his fourth consecutive term in office on Sunday, defying pollsters who had predicted a competitive race and delivering a crushing blow to the “united” Hungarian opposition, a dog’s breakfast coalition of six parties ranging from the Greens to a former far-right party with neo-Nazi associations, which he defeated by a 53-35 percent margin. In total, right-wing parties captured approximately 60 percent of the vote compared to about 36 percent for left-wing parties.............

While much of the GOP establishment (and establishment think tanks) talk airily of our high principles, the Left has run roughshod over us, subjecting traditionalist Americans to indignities that could never even have been imagined by our forefathers. If we are being brutally honest, we could not have imagined these indignities ourselves just 10 or 20 years ago.............

Even more infuriating for the Left, all of their carefully rehearsed excuses for their defeat—legal (and not particularly effective) gerrymandering, discarded ballots, a biased media environment—were swept aside by the size of the Fidesz mandate. Indeed, the party even expanded on the two-thirds parliamentary majority it achieved in the 2018 elections. The rout was so substantial that opposition leader Péter Márki-Zay lost by a double-digit percentage among his own constituency.

As a friend (one of America’s most noted conservative intellectuals) wrote to me in the wake of Orbán’s win,  “They [the global Left] are apparently terrified that if just one dissenter is allowed to stand, their whole edifice . . . will come tumbling down.”

In sum, Orbán won overwhelmingly with a campaign and record that was conservative, nationalist, anti-immigration, pro-traditional family, and firmly against military intervention in Ukraine. There is a lesson there for the GOP, should they be inclined to learn it............Substitute “USA” for “Hungary” and you have a powerful vision to animate the American Right in the future............To Read More..

Hungary Mulls Sanctions Against Social Media Giants

By Reuters January 19, 2021

Hungarian Justice Minister Judit Varga on Monday raised the prospect of sanctioning social media firms over what she called “systematic abuses” of free speech. The minister said she would meet the Hungarian competition watchdog this week to discuss possible penalties for what she described as unfair commercial practices as well as convening a meeting of the country’s digital freedom committee.

In a growing wave of criticism, some government officials are complaining about what they have described as efforts by social media companies, including Facebook, to limit conservative views on their platforms. Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s allies control large parts of the private media, allowing his agenda to be aired prominently.........To Read More.....

My Take- Interesting twist here, and quite frankly, I find this piece confusing.  While telling us social media is restricting conservative thought, they go on to tell us Orban, who is a former and current Prime Minister of Hungary and  a true anti-leftist, has control over the "private media".  What's that mean?  Does it mean he has a lot of followers in the private media, which he has, and is being restricted?  I read this piece three time and still find I'm not sure what the author's saying, other than it appears no one trusts the social media, which is now an extremely corrupt and powerful international political movement without restrictions or oversight.

Understanding Viktor Orbán’s Purportedly ‘Unlimited’ Emergency Powers over Hungary

May 13, 2020 By Mario Alexis Portella

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is one of the most controversial national leaders in the Western world.  Just over a month ago, his majority Fidesz (Hungarian Civic Alliance) Party pushed through the “unlimited” emergency powers by a two-thirds majority of Parliament on March 30.

Orbán has been harshly criticized by the European Union for his firm stance in keeping (predominantly Muslim) refugees from entering Hungary ever since he closed the borders to them in 2015.  Consequently, Orbán has been accused by the international community of being an Islamophobe, especially after he said: “Islam has never been part of Europe, it came to us.  We in Hungary decide what we want or don't want. We don’t want that.”........... To Read More
 
My Take -   First off, I seriously doubt whether Orban cares what these leftist loons think, in fact he may even view their "insults" as a compliment.  

Secondly, the definition of a phobia is: "an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something."  Fear of Islam is neither extreme or irrational.  It's a real and justifiable fear.  

The fact is these EU countries that have allowed all this mass Muslim immigration are inundated with violence, murder, rape and thievery.  All justifiable under Koranic teachings.  These problems existed before, but not at the level it exists now, and Sweden had almost no crime until this Jihad of Muslim immigration.  Now it has one of the highest number of rape victims in Europe. 

After Western Europe has been violently converted to Islam Hungary and Poland may still have to save Europe, although I don't think that's possible.

Hungarians still remember the invasions of the Ottoman Empire into Eastern Europe, which was finally stopped by the Poles in 1683 at the second siege of Vienna by the Ottoman Turks.  This battle was the beginning of the end of the Ottoman Empire's efforts at domination of Eastern Europe.  Hundreds of years of Islamic induced war.  Hundreds of years of violence, rape, murder, pillage and forced conversions.

Hungarians remember. You may wish to review what they remember with the following:
You may also be interested in: 
France ended it's Muslim problem in 732 at the Battle of Tours.  They need another Charles Martel, another Hammer of France. They need to start remembering, but with the left dominating education there as they do here - that seems unlikely, and after the Muslims violently take over and start forcing conversions, it won't much matter after that.

In defense of Hungary

April 15, 2019 By Alex Alexiev

The Zeit piece starts out claiming to be an introduction to the idea that Hungarian democracy is being "systematically destroyed" by "hate, racism and right-wing gangsterism,"which have become the "state's rationale. Curiously, the English translation of the same sentence is rendered with the relatively anodyne "the institutions, the legal system and the social fabric are nothing but a pile of rubble," perhaps indicating that the editors were aware that they were going too far.

There is no evidence of any even-handedness in the body of the long article, full as it is, loaded with barely disguised innuendo, slander, and outright lies about the country.  The lie that no independent press is tolerated is exposed by the author's own admission that opposition media freely exist in Hungary...........To Read More....

'This is petty revenge by pro-immigration politicians': Hungary condemns EU decision to hit the country with 'nuclear option' Article 7 punishment over its immigration stance

  • It was for allegedly undermining the bloc's democratic values and rule of law
  • And it could lead to the suspension of Hungary's European Union voting rights
  • Hungary's foreign minister called the vote fraudulent and vowed to challenge it
By Khaleda Rahman For Mailonline and Ap and Afp 12 September 2018

Hungary has denounced a vote by the European Union to take action against the country's populist government as 'pretty revenge by pro-immigration politicians.'   European Union lawmakers voted on Wednesday to launch action against Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government for allegedly undermining the bloc's democratic values and rule of law. The lawmakers voted 448-197 in favor of a report recommending the launch of a so-called Article 7 procedure, which could lead to the suspension of Hungary's European Union voting rights. But Hungary called the vote fraudulent and vowed to challenge it.............To Read More.....

My Take - These suicidal EU immigration policies are going to backfire. At some point the Eastern European countries will break away and form their own economic alliance. The EU is doomed and Orban knows it, and is stalling until that happens.

Hungary's Orban calls for global anti-migrant alliance with eye on 2018 elections

By Marton Dunai Reuters February 18, 2018

BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungarian leader Viktor Orban called on Sunday for a global alliance against migration as his right-wing populist Fidesz party began campaigning for an April 8 election in which it is expected to win a third consecutive landslide victory.
 
Popular at home but increasingly at odds politically and economically with mainstream European Union peers, Orban has thrived on external controversy, including repeated clashes with Brussels and lately the United Nations.
 
Those conflicts, mostly centered on migration since people fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East and Africa flooded into Europe in 2015, have intensified as the elections approach and Orban poses as a savior of Europe's Christian nations.........To Read More.....

Hungary's leader: EU and Soros seek to "Muslimize" Europe



BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) -- European Union leaders and Hungarian-American billionaire George Soros are seeking a "new, mixed, Muslimized Europe," Hungary's anti-migration prime minister said Saturday.  Prime Minister Viktor Orban said during a visit to Romania that Hungary's border fences, supported by other Central European countries, will block the EU-Soros effort to increase Muslim migration into Europe.  While Hungary opposed taking in migrants "who could change the country's cultural identity," Orban said under his leadership, Hungary would remain a place where "Western European Christians will always be able to find security."  Orban, who will seek a fourth term in April 2018, said Hungary's opposition parties were no match for his government.......To Read More...

Hungary says: Islam and Europe Cannot Coexist, and the EU is on the side of Terrorists

By Onan Coca June 13, 2017

Whoa, buddy.

Over the last couple of years Hungary and Poland have led a bloc of Eastern European countries that, like President Trump, recognize the danger in unchecked Muslim migration into Europe. The V4 Nations as they’ve become known (Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic) have all taken a hard stand against the European Union’s position of total refugee acceptance, and free movement throughout Europe. Instead, the V4 countries have built fences and walls (gasp) and spent millions to protect their borders and ensure the safety of their citizens. What have they gotten for it?

Well, while the rest of Europe suffers from a massive spike in crime (particularly sexual violence) and a dramatic increase in terrorism, the V4 nations have seen no corresponding rise in crime and they’ve suffered ZERO successful Muslim terrorist attacks. ZERO......To Read More....

Hungary Goes Straight for Globalist Jugular: Declares War on George Soros!

By Andrew West June 2, 2017

Beyond the political chicanery of the left lies a dark, ominous threat: Globalism, sponsored and promoted by some of the world’s wealthiest liberals. The concept behind globalism is simple: By creating issues so large that no one country can face them alone, the globalists secretly campaigning behind the scenes can work against the sovereignty of the world’s separate nations.

This plays to their favor, as their immense wealth is often dictated by their ability to control the world’s natural resources and technology.   By corrupting individual nation’s ability to govern themselves by installing worldwide authority, these wealth mongers have far less work to do when it comes to acquiring their precious materials.

One cabal of 20 international policy enforcers is a much simpler group to influence than an entire nation’s government........... Now, as Hungary continues to pull back the curtain on the world’s wealthy meddlers, they have openly declared that famous liberal globalist George Soros is no friend of theirs, going so far as to make a declaration of war.......To Read More.....

My Take - This is a story that needs to be watched closely.  If this becomes a cause  celebre among world leaders I'm wondering when these leftist will start assassinating leaders? 

Outrageous you say?  I'm not so sure. 

This is an issue that's followed the Clintons for years and now the DNC.  Is any of it true?  I don't know, but the circumstantial evidence is compelling enough that someone needs to investigate it......thoroughly..... to either dismiss it or prosecute someone.   But one thing we have to understand - assassination has been a tool of the powerful for all of human history.  Why would we believe it isn't done - or won't be done - now?   Especially from the left! 

The left has no solid moral foundation and can easily persuade themselves - and they have - that rioting, looting, violence and murder is freedom of expression against someone with which the disagree - like Trump - and anyone who agrees or supports Trump.  With all of that we should ask ourselves - why is it such a hard leap in logic to think they can't persuade themselves and their myrmidons that assassination isn't wrong but necessary?

Hungary’s Prime Minister says George Soros “has Ruined” Millions of Lives

By Onan Coca April 27, 2017

If you think billionaire liberal George Soros is a horrible person, you’re not alone. It’s not just here in America where Soros has earned himself a reputation for being corrupt, malicious, and an ever-ready opponent of liberty. Apparently, the man who has been leading the Democrat Party for the last 20 years or so, is also quite hated in Europe. Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán delivered a scathing indictment of the world’s liberals and arguing that Hungary had the right to implement whatever immigration policies it chooses to, and that the nation also had the right to fight back against the underhanded efforts of Soros and his minions.

Orbán’s comments echoed sentiments he articulated during an interview a few weeks ago where he explained that George Soros and his lackeys were acting as if they were above Hungary’s laws in their attempts to abuse the system and grab more power for themselves..........The Hungarian Prime Minister also explained that he and the people of Hungary were tired of the politically correct doublespeak that so often flows out of the European Parliament...........The more allies we can find to fight Soros’ evil machinations, the better. President Trump should put a call in to the Hungarian Prime Minister to discuss who our two nations can work together to unmask and weaken Soros..........To Read More...

Hungary shows the world how to secure a nation's border

by Carol Brown

Eastern Europe is leading the way to protect the continent against colonizers from Islamic lands. Hungary is in the forefront, having erected a fence that is patrolled around the clock by Hungarian police and military. There is also support along the border from Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Slovakia as these nations partner together to protect themselves. In this video, the mayor of Assothalom (a rural town in Hungary situated along the southern border shared with Serbia) speaks about border security. And he does not mince his words. He acknowledges that all of Europe must be protected and defended or everyone will perish.....To Read More.....
