Why should Orbán stay?

It is not a comforting thing to live long. Useful idiots are still enthusiastic. Competence does not cloud their clarity.

I'm getting old, and life hasn't been kind to me in recent years, so it's been a long time since I've used the Internet to publish my insights into political life. Now, however, I feel compelled to speak up. The reason for this is partly the changed state of the country and the world and the upcoming elections, and partly an old article of mine from 2011, which probably no one remembers anymore, which was titled "Why should Orbán fail?".

I never liked Fidesz. When it was founded, three of my children were also university students, who never lived any kind of "movement life" under socialism. When I asked them why they don't join Fidesz, they answered that it is only a place of hatred for their colleagues who talk and don't like to work. By the time it became clear to me that Fidesz was essentially just the youth wing of the SzDSz, I understood them.

Fidesz fought most loudly for the abolition of the conscript army. (I thought it was astonishing. What kind of nobody is he who is not willing to protect his country? Such a person will not protect his family or fellow human beings who ask for help, because his comfort is more important to him. A good example of this is the memorable New Year's Eve in Cologne.) They called the papal visit " shark visit". During the speech of a Christian Democrat representative, a Fidesz representative shouted "on your knees, for prayer". When an MDF representative suggested that the Trianon Peace Edict be remembered by the Parliament, Fidesz withdrew from the meeting hall. They introduced the single-rate income tax, which was the bane of the SZDSZ, because, so to speak, it inhibits performance. It is still defended today as if it had any economic benefit, even though it was only a declaration of solidarity towards the poorer classes. One of their most repulsive cases was the failure of the World Federation of Hungarians, when the Federation dared not elect the president proposed by Fidesz.

Fidesz behaved like the European Union when the Austrian people democratically elected Jörg Haider to power: Since the Austrian people did not choose as the Union expected, the member states terminated cooperation with Austria. It didn't bother them that it was a breach of contract. They forced Austria to ignore the will of the people with a boycott. This is the practical enforcement of EU democracy and the rule of law, of "the sovereignty of the people" in the EU. This is why they hate national consultation and referendums on timely policy requests. They hate it because they fear the people and look down on them. Yet in Europe's most democratic country, Switzerland, the referendum is considered the so-called the most important institution of "direct democracy". Referendums are held on all important issues both at national and regional level. This EU political horde, which undermines the basic principles of democracy, dares to call us to account for the "rule of law". Unfortunately, this is also how Orbán behaved with the World Federation. However, this fate may even reach him after this year's elections, because even if Brussels and the American politicians on the leash of the Soros and their domestic henchmen do not succeed in overthrowing him with electoral interventions, sabotage, and the organization of a color revolution, because despite all these efforts, the Hungarian people will to be elected, if not with an atomic bomb, but with a boycott or an "unfortunate" car accident, they can remove him from power.

As for the "breaking the pact" with the MSZP, they, together with the MSZP and SZDSZ, convinced us to join the Union with a "four-party road show". As Péter Medgyessy said: "There was always complete agreement between Fidesz and MSZP on the really important issues". The line could be continued, but why not? The point is that what they showed when they started was enough for me not to vote for them.

However, as the Latin proverb says, tempora mutantur, and changes are not necessarily bad. At the time of the regime change, referring to the conversion of St. Paul, some writer mocked that "there is a lot of traffic on the road to Damascus". This, although witty, was a rather gross "slip" because it confused cloak-twisting with conversion. A conversion like St. Paul's, if there was one at all in history, may be very rare. We, simple, earthly mortals, need a long enough time, measured in years, to recognize the wrongness of our views and honestly change them. We usually cling to our mistakes, unfortunately even our stupidities. A sincere conversion and a public commitment to it requires clear thinking, thorough self-knowledge and a very strong character. Therefore, this phenomenon is not common, but it does exist.

This is the point where I need to pour clean water into the glass. Although I have not changed my views laid down in my previous article, which reflected the conditions at the time, I must now say that if Hungary wants to stay, I will say it again, if it wants to stay, it must continue on the path followed by the current government. Today's Orbán's worldview, views and political goals are no longer reminiscent of those he demonstrated at the beginning of his career. (Let's not forget: he was also brainwashed by Soros when he was young. It is admirable that he was able to confront his views at the time.) Many of the people around him have also changed.

The goals, style and use of words have also completely changed.
Where are Klára Ungár, Gábor Fodor, and many others, and their long-overdue, internationalist, liberal approach. Due to the lack of sufficient insight, I cannot judge the work of every minister, but I am sure that Hungary has not had ministers with the same ability and commitment as Mihály Varga and Péter Szijjártó since World War II. Although he is not much in the public eye, I think I should add the President of the National Bank, György Matolcsy, to them, because even today there is one György Surányi "intellectual" who squandered the country's entire gold reserve (at the time, 50 "intellectuals" opposed his replacement ” his comrade protested) were to run the bank, the economy would hardly be able to function as efficiently as it does now.

I am inclined to the opinion that Katalin Novák's name also belongs here. I trust you will not be disappointed. Your task is incredibly difficult. I cannot know who will take over if he becomes president of the republic. Maybe he will also take up the topic as president, like Áder took up environmental protection? Maybe it wouldn't be a bad solution. (If you don't quite share my opinion, at least read this article. It's not about him.) The State Secretariat for National Policy, led by Árpád Potápi, is also doing work of historical importance.

When I mention these best-known names, whose activities I follow the most, we must not forget the expert teams behind them, without which they would not have a chance to solve the enormous tasks in front of them.
All of this shows that a circle of experts has gathered in Fidesz, or has already grown up and recruited behind it, which - to use Mrs. Gyurcsány's favorite term "europäisch" or "European", but by no means "European" - enables not only "European" , but the continuation of a significantly higher level and broader policy. I dare to say that what Hungarian politicians are doing today is of world political importance. The "opposition" cannot even dream of such a thing without talent and goals. Because they have no goals, only their goal, their only goal: the overthrow of Orbán. What happens after that is not important to them. Their guiding principle is the external wisdom of "something will happen, because it has never happened before." They don't care what this will cost the country. The only thing that matters is what you bring to the kitchen.

When the MSZP came to power after the first Fidesz government, I heard the following statement from a scientist friend of mine:

"Fidesz is better than MSZP, and Orbán is better than Fidesz".

Despite what has already been said, I could not argue with this even then, but the statement also shows that the person was not thrilled with the early participation of Fidesz and Orbán. We both somehow felt that it was not a big deal to be better than them - that is, the post-communists - but we admitted that they were better. What was new to me in this statement was that he judged Orbán to be better than Fidesz. I doubted it, but in hindsight I have to admit that he was right. Orbán shaped the immature community of immature young democrats into a real, independent European party, which stands out from the multitude of pseudo-European, remote-controlled (main-stream) "mass parties" registered in Europe.

Don't get me wrong, today's "federalized" opposition parties in Europe are not registered, nor will they ever be. Their Europeanness is exhausted by being in Europe. Neither the historical and cultural values ​​of Europe mean anything to them, nor its nations, nor their unparalleled national cultures. They are paid only to be obedient servants, but they will never be considered a political factor. Those who support them from the West need untalented, unprincipled, cosmopolitan nobody at the head of Hungary. They will be the puppets of the Brussels empire and will not even have as much say as the MSZMP had in the Peace Camp, despite the fact that they want a "European Hungary". As their immigration plans show, they would even liquidate Europe, let alone Hungary. Dissidents in the USA like to mention that Lenin allegedly called such Western Europeans "useful idiots". To be absolutely clear, today the European legacy in Europe is represented only by Central European countries and Russia. The rest are already separated from Europe in spirit and are dangerously drifting towards destruction.

I have tried many times to understand what can move these people, when it is so clear that they can only bring trouble into the world. In the end, I couldn't find a better explanation than Béla Hamvas' description of the atheist Puritan:

"...puritanism is not a worldview, but a temperament. It requires two things: a dark limitation in the blind faith of certain fixed principles, and a witty and insidious readiness to fight for those same principles. Puritanism is given real strength by the fact that he is a desperate atheist... Atheists always have problems with the heart rather than the mind. The puritan is the hard-hearted idiot. The bloodiest battles and most horrific revolutions in world history can be attributed to the Puritans. All this because, poor thing, he found a principle instead of God, and he knows it. You know he's desperate. He sees that it doesn't work, yet he keeps doing it... The knowledge that his life only has meaning if he sacrifices it is born with everyone. Life succeeds when I sacrifice. For a sane and serious person, this task is solved by itself when he places his life at God's disposal. But the atheist is afraid. He is irrationally afraid, he too must sacrifice. He also sacrifices it, but not in a natural way, to God, like Abel, but to some worthless bullshit. For yourself? If still! Are they beautiful? For power? For wealth? Even if it's stupid, it's still somehow understandable. But the Puritan sacrifices himself to principle. Humanity! speak. Or: Freedom! Or: Morale! Possibly: Future! Progress! What is freedom and humanism and future? God's surrogate. And what is hidden behind this self-pitying insanity, even in its size? That he is a desperate man. He knows it won't work, but he does it anyway. He knows he's a hapless fool, but he perseveres. Because he is strict, because he is irritated, because he is combative, because he is dark, because he is comical, because he is desperate. It doesn't work and he does it anyway. And yet he keeps doing it. He knows what he's doing, but he doesn't want to help himself, and that makes him even more desperate. More desperate and more abstract and more edgy and more comical and more insidious and more suspicious and darker. And he just keeps doing it again.”

Doesn't this suit the ridiculous, lying, insidious, loud-mouthed, talkative demagogues of the parliamentary opposition?

As for principles, "humanity", "freedom" and "morality" are already out of fashion. The "future" is still alive somehow in the form of global warming and sustainability. But these are no longer the most important, but the spreading of "genderism" and "democracy" based on the ideology of "the end justifies the means", indiscriminately, by any means (corruption of kindergartens, democratic and humanitarian bombing), and then the abstract, intangible "rule of law," as both Biden and Scholz have proclaimed. It is shocking that those who call themselves "green" and "nature conservationists" are not even willing to accept their own human nature and, rebelling against the eternal order of nature, have embraced gender ideology.

These go beyond the communists' former "nature-transforming" imaginations. They have targeted human nature itself and want to make us believe that they can knead it as they please. (Man is the master of nature, said the communists. A Soviet propaganda book I read when I was a child was entitled "How Man Becomes a Giant".) Compared to this, the old plan to reverse the rivers looks like a practical program. They know that they are not right, they know that a sane person cannot believe in such a thing, so they know that they are lying, but they still say it and say it and say it. What is this if not "a dark limitation in the blind faith of certain fixed principles, and a cunning and insidious readiness to fight for those same principles"? The true victory of "idea" over sanity, the victory of sick imagination over science and reason, the victory of darkness over light. What extreme credulity is required to believe that such extreme "nature changers" will save nature. They know that "the head of the fish stinks". They know that if they can destroy the nature of man, who stands at the pinnacle of creation, nothing stands in the way of destroying all of humanity and nature. Since the growth of scientific knowledge and the ever stronger commitment of humanity could save the world, the destroyers of nature chose a method. If you can't prevent something, get on top of it and slide it out. They invaded the green movements. Their goal is to end the destruction of nature, but they prefer those initiatives that effectively destroy society as well (see: Western energy crisis), and they also started to destroy nature, which they saw as appropriate to begin with the destruction of human nature, i.e. man. The shamelessness of doing all this with reference to freedom and human rights is terrifying. If someone takes me to task for daring to say that Kiss or Nagy Pista, an enthusiastic green activist, aims to destroy nature, I will refine what I said. Kiss and Nagy Pista really want to protect nature, but they don't understand anything about it. I'm sorry, Kiss or Nagy Pistas, party leaders or activists, you, in the words of Comrade Lenin, are just useful idiots.

Blatant manipulation or boundless ignorance can be seen in the act when a referendum was demanded in the case of the Paks nuclear power plant. In an issue that requires a very high level of professional knowledge, in the case of a country's energy supply, deciding with a majority vote of the uninformed! Mind stops! On such a basis, they could also initiate a referendum regarding the banning of the polio vaccine. Or they could take the decision-making power out of the hands of medical councils and hand it over to a council of "green" hospital employees. They are not interested in the knowledge of doctors or engineers. Even in the organized riots against the Nagymaros breakwater, they called the world-class Hungarian water experts only "water lobby". Like the Communists of old, the Greens do not "boast in front of the so-called expertise" with their pride of ignorance. I note that I understood the communists even better because they were poor people who believed that they had the philosopher's stone, the "naturalistic world view", the "infallible theory of Marxism-Leninism" in their hands. But I don't know what the greens have in their hands. Not only because "environmental science", if I may use this word, is not yet developed enough due to the complexity of its subject matter, the fact that it is not interdisciplinary, but multidisciplinary, for anyone to dare to make such confident statements as they do. After that, it is not surprising that when they wanted to build the non-polluting, renewable energy source, the Nagymaros power plant, the "greens" organized the protest. It doesn't matter to them whether it's a nuclear power plant or a hydropower plant: they protest because their goal is not to preserve the created world. If that doesn't open someone's eyes, they deserve to stumble around in the dark forever. In case anyone doesn't know, the design goal of the Nagymaros dam was formulated before 1945. It was not a "party state" brain. Two Danube dams were planned to solve the Danube's water level control, flood protection and water management between the Danube and Tisza. Do you like to understand? Water management! Electrical energy production was only a secondary goal. The former hurt the greens: lest the water supply to Kiskunság be solved! Don't let Hungary move ahead in the direction of sustainability! Everything was done to prevent it, causing immeasurable material and natural damage to this country. And the "useful idiots" enthusiastically supported the destruction of their own country. It's the same with Paks. Useful idiots are still enthusiastic. Competence does not cloud their clarity.

It is not a comforting thing to live long. No, because after a certain time, the ghosts of the past, who I thought had completely disappeared from the stage of history, reappear. Unfortunately not. When I first saw Fekete-Győr and heard his text, an image from one of my elementary school textbooks came to mind: "Agitator in the Works of Putyilov" or something similar. For others, it reminded them of the Lenin boys. And Péter Jakab reminds me of the young Lenin, while Gyurcsány's face, as he gets older, seems to recognize more and more Szamuely's features. To be honest, these figures scared the crap out of me. Such things no longer existed, or at least they did not appear in the Kádár era. They seem to have risen today. Woe to the country where such people seize power. They're holding on, I said, because they've already declared that they won't bother with legality concerns when it comes to consolidating their power. And the European Commission and Parliament, this finance-capitalist, sexist gang, will applaud the restoration of the "rule of law" by Leninist means. Even during the Stalinist concept trials, the "self-conscious masses of workers" sang that "order, law and freedom, wherever you look, stand firmly". The Gulag was packed. At that time, the number of prison inmates per ten thousand inhabitants was the highest in the world in the Soviet Union. It is no coincidence that the USA is the world champion today.

Werner Heisenberg, one of the greatest atomic physicists of the 20th century, wrote "The Part and the Whole". in his work, that political movements should not be judged based on their declared goals, but on the basis of the tools they use. Today, everyone promises democracy, prosperity, freedom, etc. If they want to achieve these with immoral, illegal, if you like, "Leninist" means, like ours, so-called. our left, then we can be sure that their program is a lie.

So here we are. There are two camps. One, although not perfect, as nothing on earth, is on the way to perfection, or at least tries to go and has set life on its banner, and there is the other, which has no vision of the future and which denies everything that is good, and moreover he promises to use Leninist tools, i.e. he wants to go on the "Leninist road" again. He is the manifestation of "the ancient spirit of denial," as Lucifer calls himself in "The Tragedy of Man." There he says to God:

"You have won over me, because it is my fate,
To fail in my battles incessantly,
But to rise again with new strength."

Isn't that what Hamvas wrote too? "It doesn't work and yet he does it. And yet he keeps doing it. He knows what he's doing, but he doesn't want to help himself, and that makes him even more desperate. More desperate and more abstract and more edgy and more comical and more insidious and more suspicious and darker. And he just keeps doing it again.” And after every failure, he "rises again with new strength". Let's not fool ourselves: We will never rest because of it. It must be fought until the end of time. It's like malaria: it can be controlled, but it cannot be permanently cured.

It is often said that the world is not black and white. Now, however, this is almost the situation in Hungarian domestic politics. The white side is not spotless, but the other side is undeniably black.

At the time, Reagan called the Soviet Union "Satan's empire." Back then, we didn't even dare to dream that it would end in our lifetime. However, Satan did not give up. He moved to the USA and "rose with new strength" there. (Although it had a strong military presence there before.) And lo and behold, the USA also started on the path of decline. There, too, he will fail sooner or later, but it is certain that he will "rise again with new strength" somewhere.

Unfortunately, these two camps exist not only in society, but also in the soul of each person. In Shakespeare's words:

Two hostile kings are encamped
in Man and Grass: the Good and the Bad.
And where Evil stands stronger,
Life is withered - Death sits in the cake.

In the same words of Vörösmarty:

We are human, the son of earth and sky.
Our soul is the wing that takes us to the sky,
And instead of flying upwards, Should
we get bored and
live by sucking Posvány's mud like an ugly bird?

Because of this duality existing in everyone and everything, society can only move in the direction of good if its members individually set out to do so, which is a condition of being able to distinguish good from bad. This is what the un "progressive" side and therefore denies the existence of good and bad. They know that if people cannot distinguish between good and bad, no matter how nice-sounding an ideology anyone invents, the people, the citizens, will not be able to individually move in the direction of good because of the lack of a compass, and therefore neither will society.

You cannot fix society with laws and ideology.

Rousseau's doctrine of good laws is the greatest folly in the world. Around the time of the regime change, a poster appeared in Budapest, the text of which I really liked:

“Are you saying the world is bad? Make it better! Start with yourself!”

This fact, the disorientation of Western man, is well illustrated by today's so-called the slow death of developed countries, which reminds one of Berzsenyi's poems:

Now slow poison, slow death consumes me.

Look: the proud oak, which is nocturnal

Szélvész doesn't knock it down, it grows in it

Worms grind a strong root,

And a weak wind knocks them to the ground!

Thus, it is the support and foundation of every country

The pure morality, which, if it survives:

Rome is heating up and going crazy.

This is not because Berzsenyi said so. He was not a fiery mind like Comrade Stalin, or the other greats of Bolshevism, or today's formation called the left, to tell what the new, just-in-time "eternal truth" is. He expressed a historical experience of several thousand years with beautiful poetry, i.e. an eternal truth established from history by inductive inference, i.e. by natural science method.

What I value most in Orbán is not his sophisticated political tactics, his courage or his statesmanlike wisdom, but rather that

he was able to start improving himself first, and then in his party, until finally, as a result, he already achieved that he will surely enter the history books of the future with a positive evaluation a few decades after his death.

I was still a young man when a non-believing but not "desperate" atheist colleague of mine said the following:

“You, I can't understand these stupid communists. When I was in lower school, I was still studying religion. I was only taught there to be good, not to harm, not to hurt, but to help others, to do my tasks properly, and so on. Tell me why it's bad for these fools that people are like this, or at least they are raised to be like that."

The answer is simple!
Call them atheists, Bolsheviks, globalists, neoliberals, Marxists, Leninists, neo-Marxists, progressives or whatever, they embody the "ancient spirit of denial". Their element is not construction or repair, but destruction. Those who want to "erase the past once and for all" but couldn't do anything better, can't put it in its place. Who sing along with Macbeth's woes that:

"Ugly is beautiful and beautiful is ugly,
Sicc, into filth and fog."

In other words, they wash everything. Those who believe that there is no man and no woman, no father and no mother, no girl and no woman, no good and no bad, no crazy and no sane. Those who do everything to eliminate what is the "support and foundation of every country", "pure morality", and even eliminate its traces from the value system of society. How did Ildikó Lendvai's immortal appeal sound in the Parliament? "Don't mix morality with politics!" Although, under normal circumstances, morality should form the basis of politics, since the management of politics, the affairs of the city, the country, and the "polis" should serve the public good. Politics is the service of the public good. Serving the "Good" is a moral activity. As my friend János Drábik once said in relation to the Constitution: The task of the Constitution is to ensure the rule of morality over legislation. But this is not the case with these. In their dictionary, politics is only about power and money.

The already quoted Heisenberg wrote in his referenced book, which I can only quote from memory now, from the perspective of several decades, that woe will come to Europe if it realizes that due to the dethronement of God, the moral pedestal on which his most valuable sons built their work, i.e. European culture, will shake. . Heisenberg's prediction is now coming true. Europe has lost its faith, its moral foundation has collapsed and its seemingly irreversible death throes are now in a very advanced state: "Rome is collapsing and turning to rage", or in other words:

"... where Evil stands strong,
Life withers - Death sits on the cake".

One of the lessons of world history is that all great cultures developed within the framework of some religion. There has never been a culture without religion, and there never will be. Multiculture is just a play on words, a cover name for the lack of culture. Borrowed from Ashvas: God's surrogate. The approval of multiculturalism hides the intention to stifle culture. But human nature is such that it cannot tolerate a cultural vacuum, so it will fill it with something. Question: with what?

In Europe, the foundation of culture is collapsing, the population is disappearing, so many people now see no other way out than mass immigration, the exchange of population and culture: i.e. the creation of the European Caliphate.

According to them, man is the measure of everything, because they do not recognize anything or anyone above him, let alone the laws of God, nor even his nature, therefore it is completely reasonable for them to accept such a decision as the European Parliament recently made, according to which "men also have the right there is a child to be born". My fellow men, I hope they are now happy because they have become the beneficiaries of such a revolutionary extension of rights. I hope they will make use of it, thereby helping to solve Europe's demographic problems. "They say, isn't it my brain?" And this is not Mrs. Gyurcsány's dream, the United States of Europe, but only her embryo! What else can we expect?

We are facing parliamentary elections. Now it's not just about which party gets the executive power. Vörösmarty's words have never been so timely in our country as they are now:

"The fate of a nation lies before us.
If we have lifted it out of the deep depression
and
made it as high as possible by the clear rays of the spiritual battles,
we can say, returning to the dust of our ancestors:
Thank you for life!
your blessing, It was good fun, it was a man's work!"

We are free to choose. It is only up to us, Hungarian citizens, whether we commit ourselves to life or death. Let's choose! Let's not run and "stay", but take responsibility for the decision and its consequences, life or death.
