Hungary: EU is Trying to Punish Countries That Control Their Own Borders
Breitbart ^ | 11/18/2020 | Olivier JJ Lane

Hungary’s leadership is standing by its decision to block the whole seven-year budget for the European Union over the inclusion of new powers which would, they claim, allow the political persecution of member states that don’t follow the Brussels globalist playbook on matters like mass migration.

The Hungarian and Polish governments used their veto powers to block the seven-year Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) — in other words, the EU’s budget — on Monday, having failed to prevent new clauses and rules being inserted at earlier stages of the negotiation process. While the comparatively small central European nations lacked the political clout to prevent the new rules, because they are tacked on to the overall budget which must be adopted by all member states unilaterally, the bloc essentially forced Hungary and Poland into a showdown where their choices were to accept the new controls or stop Europe’s spending altogether.

Hungary’s Viktor Orban was bullish on Wednesday when he said Europe was attempting to use a “political whip” to punish member states that refuse dto fall in line. The Associated Press reported further remarks where Prime Minister Orban explicitly invoked the mass migration issue — a longstanding area of disagreement between the EU, which has attempted to institute a mandatory migrant redistribution programme, and its conservatively minded members — as being at the heart of the dispute, and Europe’s desire to turn the screws on some members.

Orban said: “In Brussels today, they only view countries which let migrants in as those governed by the rule of law… Once this proposal gets adopted, there will be no more obstacles to tying member states’ share of common funds to supporting migration and us(ing) financial means to blackmail countries which oppose migration.”

There is an old Hungarian saying: “Hungary and Poland drink from the same cup.” And we see that happening here.

Stand strong, Poland! Stand strong Hungary! The future of your nation and your people depend on it.

The EU was a bunch of communist globalists who used easy access to credit as a bribe to politicians so the politicians could used borrowed money to buy votes with socialist entitlements. Those politicians got elected, had their turn at the trough and are now retired or dead. The bills are now coming due. The euro had a shot at being the world’s reserve currency, but when they seized insured bank deposits in Cypress they doomed the euro and the EU. What we see are the cracks presaging failure.

Orban gets it, and has for years. From 2016:

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3411401/posts?page=5#5

A key passage:

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Europe is not free, because freedom begins with speaking the truth. In Europe today it is forbidden to speak the truth. A muzzle is a muzzle – even if it is made of silk. It is forbidden to say that today we are not witnessing the arrival of refugees, but a Europe being threatened by mass migration. It is forbidden to say that tens of millions are ready to set out in our direction. It is forbidden to say that immigration brings crime and terrorism to our countries. It is forbidden to say that the masses of people coming from different civilisations pose a threat to our way of life, our culture, our customs, and our Christian traditions. It is forbidden to say that, instead of integrating, those who arrived here earlier have built a world of their own, with their own laws and ideals, which is forcing apart the thousand-year-old structure of Europe. It is forbidden to say that this is not accidental and not a chain of unintentional consequences, but a planned, orchestrated campaign, a mass of people directed towards us. It is forbidden to say that in Brussels they are constructing schemes to transport foreigners here as quickly as possible and to settle them here among us. It is forbidden to say that the purpose of settling these people here is to redraw the religious and cultural map of Europe and to reconfigure its ethnic foundations, thereby eliminating nation states, which are the last obstacle to the international movement. It is forbidden to say that Brussels is stealthily devouring ever more slices of our national sovereignty, and that in Brussels today many are working on a plan for a United States of Europe, for which no one has ever given authorisation.

The EU will squeeze them and make their livers miserable, at least financially.

If any of them had a real army, they would probably force member allegiance.

Thank God they don’t

Apparently Biden is going to continue the Obama pro Merkel and anti England angle, involving us through German support for Turkey with Clinton’s Albanian KLA terrorist support as well as involving us in the Caucasus against Armenia.

I cannot believe the idiot liberals who voted for these people. Many females and minorities in the military voted for Biden and will be sent to hell in a hand basket. .. and yet they will be the same ones who will complain of being sent to deployment too. Watch it. Under the bus these idiots will go.

All part of the Globalist plan to erase borders and have the wealthy countries (read the USA mostly) support all the third world countries. EQUALITY OF OUTCOME! Not equality of effort.

"Kalergi Plan
The Kalergi Plan, or sometimes called the Coudenhove-Kalergi Conspiracy, is a far-right, anti-semitic, white nationalist conspiracy theory, which states that a plot to mix white Europeans with other races via immigration was constructed by Austrian-Japanese politician Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi and promoted in aristocratic European social circles.
" --- Wikipedia. Kalergi was instrumental in creating the EU.

I might question theAnti-semitic charge in the Wikipedia article. Kalergi (Richard Nikolaus Eijiro, Count of Coudenhove-Kalergi) and Otto von Habsburg (Franz Joseph Otto Robert Maria Anton Karl Max Heinrich Sixtus Xavier Felix Renatus Ludwig Gaetan Pius Ignatius von Habsburg) were the founders of the European Union. Both were Austrian aristocrats. Neither were Jewish as far as I know.
