U.S. State Dept Puts $700,000 into Hungarian Media, Demands ‘Programming’ Against Orban, Patriots
Breitbart ^ | 22 Nov 2017 | JACK MONTGOMERY

The U.S. State Department has courted controversy by announcing it will plough $700,000 into Hungarian media, angering the country’s anti-globalist, conservative government.

The funding was announced by U.S. Chargé d‘Affaires David Kostelancik, who has previously appeared to openly criticise the Trump administration by alluding to “apparent inconsistencies in [U.S.] foreign policy” and remarking that “not every criticism of the government is ‘fake news’.”

Breitbart London spoke to a State Department official who confirmed it supports what it calls “democracy and human rights programming” in many countries, and that its intentions in Hungary — a NATO ally — are to “support media outlets operating outside the capital … to produce fact-based reporting and increase their audience and economic sustainability”.

Collusion with George Soros. Soros has as a major goal in his life the destruction of Hungary as a national entity.

I agree, and while he’s at it, he can defund the UN.

During the Cold War, a massive government propaganda apparatus was built up to influence foreign countries against Communism. When the CW ended, that apparatus was repurposed to promote neoliberal globalism. It’s still going strong today.

Trump is wasting too much time tweeting with nitwits and needs to get on stuff like this instead. Use the power of his office to fix what he can while he is there instead of playing ego games with other tweeters.

just like the influx of Syrian rapefugees.. I suspect we are being played. Not a Constitutionalist left in charge, anywhere. Couldn’t spend our taxpayer dollars any better, huh?

>>>>>Mr. Trump should stop this immediately.<<<<<

1. Recall U.S. Ambassador to Hungary for "consultations"

2. Start INS process to strip Georgy Schwartz a.k.a. George Soros of U.S. citizenship since he hid his Nazi association during WWII.

3. Recover $700,000

See my #33 above.

I would have expected this thread to get more attention than it has. There are so many things wrong with the antics of this David Kostelancik that it is difficult to know where to begin.

He needs to be out of a job, while he is investigated for possible prosecution. He is clearly sabotaging the Trump foreign policy; clearly, misappropriating funds; clearly, ignoring our obvious interests, to pursue an illegal objective. That he times this action at a time when the Left is ranting and raving over allegations of foreign meddling in our elections, should certainly raisew some eyebrows.
