As Hungary Goes…
All politics now are run by probably twelve or thirteen, rich, powerful people who sit at the hub of donations to NGOs all over the world. They offer nothing substantial to the donations themselves, but they organize and direct these NGOs with their influence. Then, the government, usually the US government, fills the coffers and some of that is returned to campaign funds to make sure that these NGOs are never cut off from federal funds. But all federal funds come from the taxpayer. These are the same people who then donate money from their own salaries, too. It’s massive, but its a fraud. Very little of the stated purpose of these NGOs is actually going to that endeavor, the greater share of funds go to things like Antifa, BLM and No Kings protests, etc.
It’s the same in Europe and South America. The idea is to keep the left and leftist ideas prominent in the news, supporting fellow communists and other collectivist ideologies. They support Islam, because Islam is a collectivist theocracy that aligns most closely to the communist ideology, except that it places religious law over state law, a conflict that will arise between communists and Islamists after the defeat of the right.
It’s a worldwide information war now, with some kinetic aspects such as suicide bombers and terrorist attacks. The Middle East continues as the center of the US focus, but the US should spend a little more time looking into it at home.
In Europe, there have been several right wing leaders (or just not being a willing EU puppet) who have risen to president or prime minister positions. What is not often spotlighted, though, is what the EU has been able to do to some of them.
Georgescu in Romania was refused the presidency because it was believed, or rather, the narrative was, that the Georgescu campaign had been aided by Russian interference. Those pesky Russians and their electoral interference! This, despite the EU being heavily invested in the electoral defeat of any right-leaning politician and making no bones about that interference, dumping money into the NGOs that promote wild accusations of corruption and Russian sympathy. It’s a familiar playbook that repeats over and over where populist nationalist candidates rise from the obscurity of the bureaucracy.
This was the focus of the documentary Deconstruction (new and improved trailer) that continues to play out right down to this minute. In Hungary, where our story started, Viktor Orban’s Fidesz party is running a tight race with Peter Magyar’s Tisza party. The outcome will determine who will be the Prime Minister and largely what will happen to the anti-immigration stances of the entire bloc of Central and Eastern European nations.
Peter Magyar has unlimited EU support and years of constant opposition to Viktor Orban’s policies that often challenge the EU over the prospect of national sovereignty. This is why Peter Magyar, having been defeated several times for the Prime Minister’s position, continues to have funds and support that are magnified by positive media reports, while Orban seems flooded by negative reports.
This same playbook was played against Robert Fico in Slovakia and Andrej Babis in the Czech Republic. There is a piece in Deconstruction that shows Manfred Webber of the European People’s Party (EPP) bragging about how Babis had been replaced and Tusk had defeated Kasinski in Poland and they would defeat Orban in Hungary. None of that came true and in fact, Orban won that election and eventually Babis’s party won in the Czech Republic. At the same time, Nawrocki (someone closely aligned with the Trump and Orban) won the presidency in Poland.
While it seems that Trump is on a self-destruct mission here in the US, his policies are still supported rather fanatically. Trump has lost support because he’s failed to pursue his own policies and those who stood with him are having doubts about his dedication. Getting rid of Pam Bondi might have bought him a little more time with his once-dedicated supporters, but if he’s going to win them back, he’s going to have to stop acting like a dictator and start putting more pressure on the congress to pass his policies into law. Executive Orders only have limited effect and can be easily reversed when a Democrat takes that position. Everything needs to go through the congress, so that they will have to change the law which is much more difficult than signing an Executive Order that eliminates a previous Executive Order.
Politics now are quite interesting the world over, because the leftist, collectivist, communists have grown powerful enough to openly challenge the system of theoretical free trade and capitalism. To that extent, Trump is doing some dirty, but important work in exposing NATO and our European allies, who have only ever been allies in order to tap into the massive industrial and military strength of the United States.
All of that is about to come to an end and Trump is a lot of the reason. I think purposefully, others see it as mistakes. I can see what he’s trying to do, but by letting Israel and Netanyahu divert his attention from building a Western Hemisphere defense bloc, he’s losing support. No one wants more foreign forever wars and no matter how limited Trump tries to describe it, we’ve been down this road in Iraq and Afghanistan and don’t want our sons and daughters caught up in it.
Like many, I believe that the threat from within needs to be addressed before we go out as a mercenary army and attack the enemies of our friends, even if in reality they are not our friends.
What I rebel against, though, is in getting caught up in this anti-Trump hysteria knowing that a lot of it’s just the left smelling blood and coming full-force through every means available to take Trump down (and patriotic Americans with him). It is not just the defeat of Trump they’re after, or does one not remember the vile actions of the left against the January 6th hostages?
The left is completely evil and deranged. They will support whatever anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-civilization puppet they can find to the ends of the earth if it means punishing the right.
I have heard expressed, from close friends on the right, their absolute disgust with Trump. I get it. We wanted arrests. We wanted popular policies passed through the congress. We wanted, or at least were tolerant of, securing the Western Hemisphere from attack. To that end, exposing the Canadian government as an actual enemy for their close ties to China and their woke policies is something I supported. Exposing NATO as the European support network also fits my international aims. When Europe thinks it can threaten the US, using NATO forces for which the US provides more than half of all funding and military commitment, I see a problem.
The war in Iran is where the division comes from, that and tariffs. These two issues alone have divided ranks here among the right. Some of it might be his implication in the Epstein files, and, if true, that would eliminate all support. So the question is not whether one supports Trump or not, but whether his policies align with ours.
Trump’s political strength came from the belief that he carries our policies into the political arena. What is a mistake, and we included this in Deconstruction, is in believing that Trump created MAGA. Make America Great Again goes back to Reagan. If not the slogan itself, the message of Reagan’s campaign. The question needs to be, as always, where does the right put all of its political capital?
If politics mean anything (and I’m not convinced that they do) the right needs to remain solid behind their goals and seek out people who will carry their message. The current state is one of impending doom, though. Something bad is on the horizon and party politics seem more distant and irrelevant every day, but they still have a purpose: to defeat the left. We’ve seen what they do with power and while we might want to see the right exercise power in pursuit of our goals, we know full well the purpose and goal of the left.
