    Default Hungary Hits A Home Run

    Hungary’s Peter Szijjarto is pretty good:

    NEW YORK -- Hungary’s top diplomat, in an interview with Fox News, praised President Trump’s push for NATO partners to boost military spending -- and said the administration's treatment of Central European countries as allies represents a stark contrast from what he called the “lecturing” of the Obama years.

    Szijjarto would have won the Most Valuable Player Award had he said ‘lecturing by a spiritual leader’ which is what the Chicago sewer rat was. The rat had no governing skills which is proved every by the damage he did to this country with illegal aliens alone.

    NOTE: The field of Democrat wannabes is populated by spiritual leaders with nothing to offer except their own moral horseshit. Those Democrats who vote for another spiritual leader should move to a Muslim theocracy.

    Szijjarto works for the man I call the best leader in Europe:



    Viktor Orbán


    Asked why Hungarians are resistant to the bloc’s forced migrant redistribution policy, Mr. Orbán asserted that, “We do not consider these people to be Muslim refugees,” but as “Muslim invaders”. Drawing attention to the fact that migrants had travelled through safe countries before heading to more prosperous parts of Europe, the prime minister added that many are “economic migrants” and not in genuine need of asylum.

    “That was not a wave of refugees, that was an invasion,” Orbán told BILD, criticising Germany, “which we consider the best example of discipline and the rule of law”, for descending into “chaos and anarchy” in late September 2015 under the chancellorship of Angela Merkel by permitting mass “illegal border crossings”.

    Last year Orbán also laid one on the EU:

    Political instinct told me that Orbán is the most respected head of state in Europe. Certainly more respected than Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron:

    BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungary will quit a U.N. migration pact before its final approval, it said on Wednesday, calling the agreement a “threat to the world”.

    The Global Compact For Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration was approved on Friday by all 193 U.N. member nations except the United States, which pulled out last year.

    Hungary to quit U.N. migration pact shunned by Washington
    Reuters Staff

    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-e...-idUSKBN1K81BS

    President Trump should take lessons from Orbán:

    When challenged by reporters on why Hungary should be allowed to accept so few “refugees” when Germany accepts so many, Orban shot back, “The difference is, you wanted the migrants, and we didn’t.”

    Question: What is the difference between fake news and shaping the news? Answer: Not much.

    The plan, dubbed the “Stop Soros” program by government spokesman Zoltan Kovacs, includes a crackdown on so-called Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) which are on the front lines of the campaign to replace Europe’s indigenous population with Third World migrants. As reported by WND, the United Nations, in coordination with a number of NGOs, is pushing a campaign of “replacement migration” targeting a number of Western European nations, as well as the United States.

    XXXXX



    Not surprisingly, besides condemnation from Soros and the European Union, Hungary’s “Stop Soros” program has sparked strong criticism from the leftist press. In the past, reporters from leftist sources such as the Washington Post have met with Soros in order to help shape media narratives.

    Deporting George Soros, tying up his wealth with the tax code, or putting him in prison is probably the only ways to stop him, while eliminating the advertising tax deduction would stop the Washington Post in its tracks. Sad to say there are a whole lot of tax dollar Charles Foster Kane’s in the real world. At least Kane spent his own money:





    Since George Soros is a big time Democrat Party supporter, and a naturalized American citizen subject to deportation, you can bet that neither the House nor the Senate will investigate this:

    The ruling Fidesz and Christian Democrat (KDNP) parties call on the European Commission to answer some questions regarding prepaid debit cards reportedly issued for migrants, the alliance’s spokesman, Istvan Hollik, told a press conference in Budapest on Saturday.

    Earlier this week, Fidesz’s Lajos Kosa, head of parliament’s defence and law enforcement committee, cited recent reports about tens of thousands of prepaid debit cards made available to migrants by the European Commission and the United Nations Refugee Agency UNHCR.

    The debit cards are reported to have been used by migrants on the “reactivated Balkan migration route”, Hollik said.

    The EC should explain the origins of the cards, the amounts deposited on them, and the reasons why the scheme was kept in secret, he said.

    The cards are said to be funded by moneys from the EU, the UN and US financier George Soros, Hollik said, raising the question whether the member states have agreed to a scheme like that.

    The ruling parties expect information on the bodies financing tens of thousands of migrants on their way to the southern borders of Europe, Hollik said, adding that this way they may also finance terrorism.

    Finally, President Trump will win a second term hands down if he refuses to accept United Nations ECONOMIC REFUGEES. His campaign expenses can be paid out of pocket change if he only campaigns on getting the U.N.’s hands off of our immigration laws.

    The basic test of freedom is perhaps less in what we are free to do than in what we are free not to do. It is the freedom to refrain, withdraw and abstain which makes a totalitarian regime impossible. Eric Hoffer

    Today, Mr. Trump will welcome to the White House Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, a visitor not received there since 2001. Trump is laudably rebuilding relationships forged under Reagan — that had gone positively chilly during the Obama years — with a region that truly understands the great blessings of freedom, having felt firsthand the ravages of totalitarianism and communist oppression.

    The Trump Administration’s efforts to strengthen U.S.-Hungary ties have merit at this time for several reasons. Hungary and the U.S. share some critically important policy priorities including border protectionand curbing illegal immigration. Moreover, the Trump Administration recognizes that stronger engagement with our Central European allies is a buffer to their drifting closer to Russia.

    In the debate surrounding immigration, Trump finds valuable allies with Orban and some of his European colleagues, notably leaders of Poland, Italy, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, and others. Their commonly held notions are that the security of their own citizens is paramount to exposing national populations to the challenges of absorbing foreign settlers. In upholding these immigration policies, they are responding to critical concerns of those who elected them against the dissenting narrative of the mainstream media and liberal elite who advocate open borders and globalization. Rightfully, these leaders agree that it is a sovereign right to be able to choose who enters and settles in one’s nation. The Trump battle cry “America first” is shared, inserting their own countries, by leaders of Hungary, Slovakia and the rest, legitimizing Trump’s philosophy against the dissenting backlash.

    In 2018 Democrat presidential wannabe —— Shit for Brains —— said:


    “You see what’s happened in everything from Belarus to Poland to Hungary, and the rise of totalitarian regimes in the world,” Biden said, telling the ABC-screened event: “This President embraces all the thugs in the world. I mean, he is best friends with the leader of North Korea, sending love letters.”

    In the seven months after the thief stole the election in 2020 Biden & Company transformed the U.S. into a fullblown totalitarian country. That is faster than the lying sack of shit accomplished in eight years —— 16 years if you count Clinton’s 8 years.

    Biden calling anybody a totalitarian thug convinced me that he has to wear adult diapers so he does not soil his pants. In truth: Biden does not need a mask like Diarrhea Mouth Pelosi —— Biden needs a king-size mouth-diaper when he shits thru his mouth.

    p.s. Joe Biden became a U.S. Senator in 1973. Castles in the Air was published in 1975. I find the time line astonishing that it only took 46 years for the media-education-entertainment-complex to wipe out everything a vast majority of American believed for two centuries. Even more astonishing is a filthy piece of garbage like Shit for Brains speaking for this country’s foreign policy.


    In today’s media, we are constantly being told of “new and improved” impositions that are needed to replace the “old hat” ideas of freedom and open competition. But the visions held by these proponents could hardly be further from reality.

    Leonard Read wrote of this decades ago, in “Freedom: A New Vision,” Chapter 2 of his 1975 Castles in the Air. While the trend was not as pronounced then as it has become, Read’s vision is still worth serious reflection today, as it is much clearer and far more promising than authoritarianism disguised as utopianism.

    Why speak of freedom as a vision? Freedom…is…an ideal way of life more ardently to be hoped for than seriously expected in our time.


    Why the adjective “new”?…our opponents…continually refer to this way of life as “old hat” or words to that effect! Troubles in society, brought on by authoritarian mischief, they lay to freedom—quite innocently in most cases and for the reason that they have no understanding of what is meant by freedom in its higher sense.

    But let us be charitable; how many on our side of the fence have been or are clear in their own minds about freedom, and manifest it in their actions?

    The truth is that freedom as it has been approximated, first in England and then in the U.S.A., is the newest and most remarkable politico-economic achievement in the world’s history—enjoyed for five or six generations at most. The structures for this free way of life were erected in 1776: the simultaneous appearance of Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations and the Declaration of Independence.

    The new “progressive” ideas in the air all around us are actually old, regressive, tyrannical and tired. The fact that their proponents don’t even know that tells us how much we trust we can put in their knowledge and judgement.


    The issue is between two opposed ways of life. Our opponents’ way is the older, as old as mankind: authoritarianism in its numerous forms…which are contrary to natural law and prevent life from flowing. The newer is freedom, featuring unfixed, improving, flowing, creative concepts.

    Only freedom allows us the possibility of growing to achieve our fullest potential.


    Anyone who believes as I do that man’s earthly purpose is growth in awareness, perception, consciousness, has no choice but to side with individual liberty–freedom–and to look with disfavor on all forms of authoritarianism.

    Human improvement or growth stems from an exercise of the faculties…Exercise is possible only as we are free to work on our individual selves and is diminished to the extent that we are worked over by others.

    Growth without liberty, that is, without the freedom to exercise our faculties and to discover our creative potentialities, is out of the question. Given the goal of individual growth, authoritarianism is an utterly absurd way of life.

    The freedom philosophy…differs from most philosophies in that it does not prescribe how any individual should live his life…It allows freedom for each to do as he pleases–live in accord with his own uniqueness as he sees it–so long as the rights of others are not infringed.

    This way of life commends no controls external to the individual beyond those which a government limited to keeping the peace and invoking a common justice might impose. Each individual acts on his own authority and responsibility…It has nothing in it at all that calls on me or the government to run your life.

    The immense personal and social benefits of freedom mean it should be the touchstone—the ideal—toward which we consistently orient ourselves.


    Unless we have the ideal in our minds, we have no compass, no way of knowing in which direction our efforts should be pointed. Knowing the ideal is the first step in down-to-earth practicality.

    I define the ideal—freedom in a refined state—as no man-concocted restraints against the release of creative human energy…its practice an aspiration. In the economic realm we call it the free market.

    To understand the ideal of freedom, we must know not only what it is, but what it is not.


    Not at all surprisingly, most people think of the free market as private enterprise. This, however, is not what we mean. All sorts of wholly objectionable enterprises are private: piracy… embezzlement, hi-jacking…[The same is true for] all governmental interventions that favor some and injure others.

    The free market is so little trusted because so few are aware of what it is. Thinking of ourselves as if we were a free people leads us mistakenly to conclude that our present hodge-podge of intervention is a manifestation of the free market. Consequently, we imagine that a free and self-responsible people would behave no better than do the majority of us today. But what we mean and what most people think we mean are poles apart!

    Read then turns to an interesting analogy between the light spectrum and the political spectrum.


    Political-economic philosophy…is loosely analogous to the light spectrum…substitute the long and short arms of government for the long and short wavelengths. At the extreme left we observe the long arm of government reaching into nearly every phase of human existence–authoritarianism…Then as we move to the right on this spectrum, the arms of government become shorter, reaching into fewer and fewer facets of life. Finally…comparable to the ultraviolet lying just beyond the visible spectrum–we would find the arms of government so short that they could not reach into and have control over a single creative activity–no more than a peace-keeping arm of society. This ideal can only be imagined…beyond the right end of the visible spectrum where schemes to manage the lives of others would be nonexistent.

    To understand why freedom holds out the prospect for the greatest possible human growth and development, Read focuses on its ability to utilize knowledge that not one person has by him- or herself, including those who would dictate to others based on the minuscule knowledge they have.


    The market possesses a wisdom that does not exist, even remotely, in any discrete individual. For instance, because you cannot imagine how mail would be delivered ever so much more efficiently than now if turned over to the market, never…let your faith falter by reason of your infinitesimal know-how. To claim that the free market has a wisdom a million or billion times your own is a gross understatement.

    From whence comes this enormous knowledge that does not remotely exist in any person…the miracle of the market…when men are free…What we must bear in mind is that the sole generative force at the human level stems from individual human faculties: intuition, insight, inventiveness, perception, awareness, consciousness, and the like.

    To the extent that the free market prevails, to that extent is economic life featured by free entry and competition…In addition to the heritage of the ages…these features enormously stimulate and bring to the fore the genius potentially existing among our contemporaries. Thus, it is possible for us to be graced not only by the accumulated knowledge and wisdom of the past but, also, by the considerably untapped ingenuity of the present. The best in everyone is brought forth when the best is required to succeed. The free market…works its wonders simply because the generative capacity of countless millions has no external force standing against its release.

    Given the wisdom we can access and the growth in our own wisdom we can generate only by way of freedom and the incentives it creates, Read concludes by reminding us of how large the chasm is between the many utopian promises authoritarians offer and what they actually have the wisdom to provide us.


    Authoritarianism…presupposes nonexistent gods, that is, politicians who naively believe that they know how to steer mankind aright and, thus, can run your, my, and everyone else’s life to humanity’s advantage…They haven’t taken the very first step in wisdom, namely, achieving an awareness of how little they know. While no wizard among them all can even make a pencil, each has little doubt that mankind, if made in his infinitesimal image, would be improved and that all of our millions of requirements would better prosper under his direction. Prosper? Preposterous!


    Truth
    Based
    Media



    The free market, on the other hand, is attuned to the little we know, it does not presuppose a nonexistent omniscience. Instead…the needed knowledge waits to be drawn upon. Everyone’s life is free to flow and grow–life’s fulfillment a possibility for each human being.

    Freedom in this higher sense is indeed a vision; it is a castle in the air under which we are well advised to put foundations.

    If Carlson gave Viktor Orbán a fair shake in the Garden of Eden the snake would bite him:



    You don’t need to know anything about Hungary to recognize that the people who’ve savaged Tucker Carlson all over the media for going there earlier this month are telling whoppers about it. Because what they say about Hungary in their rants about Tucker is intimately bound up with what they say in those very same rants about America.

    Quite simply, they hate the Orbán regime, and Tucker’s defense of it, for the same reason they despise flyover Americans.
