Yes, this is Brussels today, although I prefer to feel the breath of former Moscow...
But good for us! For a long time, we just wandered, in other words, we surfed the net, looking for news or even fake news (because even if I surprise our readers with the statement, there are such), we could choose between them as we pleased. And if everyone does what they want in the social space, the world will end.
Don't get me wrong, I myself am disgusted by the deliberate spread of lies, but I'm kind of like Voltaire (or not him, but Evelyn Beatrice Hall, who wrote about him) with it, that is: "I don't agree with what you say, but I will fight until the end of my life so that you can say.” If you want, say, only healthy lies, and you'll just fall for it.
So: being a Christian-conservative, I am liberal thought itself.
Not so the so-called liberal despots. Here we have this brainwave virtuoso, a certain Thierry Breton, who is the Commissioner responsible for the internal market of the European Commission, who also included the fight against the spread of fake news among his duties. In fact, you are right, where else would they spread so much fake news than in the European Council or Parliament? It would certainly be beneficial to weed them out - from the EU weed garden. But it is not typical for Mr. Breton to work in his own garden, he prefers to throw garbage in foreign (eg Hungarian) yards.
This is the person who, if they kill me, I don't know what he has to do with, for example, the Hungarian rule of law, so this guy visited us a year ago to check whether we were diligently implementing the 17-point Brussels dictate, which has since been supplemented with more and more points. . Organizations such as Transparency International Hungary, which is transparent in contrast to its name, which is supposed to be anti-corruption, but instead of more than HUF 4 billion rolling dollars from the left-liberals, K-Monitor, which is investigating the wife of Zsolt Bayer, and which is so sympathetic to the Hungarian government, the covid epidemic, rushed to help in the investigation of the facts. The Hungarian Helsinki Committee, which stood against the protection measures and supported illegal migration and the LGBTQ movement. They then revealed the facts in such a way that we were confused.
Mr. Breton claimed a year ago that if Hungary implements the EC's 17-point demand, they will no longer have any more claims against us.
Well, I would like to quote Mikhail Bulgakov's timeless work, The Master and Margarita , the part of it when, at the séance held at the Moscow Variety Theater, the Bengali conference declares that he expressed his admiration for Messi (Woland, i.e. Satan). The quote reads:
“This man is lying! Pepita's assistant declared loudly enough for everyone in the theater to hear, and then turned to Bengalsky:
"Congratulations, fellow citizen, on your well-executed lie!"
We can also congratulate fellow Breton, although his lie cannot be called very successful from our point of view. Because 17 was followed by another 22, who knows how many.
Well, this is the spread of fake news that Mr. Breton should deal with.
But no, his honor does not deal with his own fake news or that spread about us in the Union, instead he jumps down Elon Musk's throat in a thunderous letter, because he thinks that the production of fake news on Twitter (which is now X) regarding the bestial terrorist attack by the Palestinians against Israel has been bitten. Which, isn't it, is a scandal and threatens world peace, so let's start censoring it, otherwise there will be retaliation, fines, or even making the platform inaccessible.
Yes, this is Brussels today, although I prefer to feel the breath of former Moscow. The Soviet Communist Party instructed and threatened in the same way. It is true that the Renitens usually executed him in prison there, or worse, beaten to death in a ditch, but the Bretons don't hold it here yet. Not yet.
Of course, Elon Musk is not the kind of guy that Moscow, let me correct, Brussels can instruct.
In a post on X, he responded to the ukáz, asking them to state which posts "violated the law", but all he got in response was that now it was his turn to prove that he was acting.
Look, isn't it a pure Bolshevik solution? I accuse him, but I prove nothing. Let the one I accused prove.
I imagine the conversation (if Musk were to have a conversation with the figure named Breton at all):
Breton: Delete fake news immediately and ban the spreaders from the platform!
Musk: Okay, but tell me which is fake and which isn't!
Breton: Fake news is that which is not real.
Musk: And which one isn't real?
Breton: The one that's fake news.
Musk: And how the hell do I know which ones aren't real?
Breton: You know that yourself, don't deny it.
Musk: I don't know.
Breton: Prove you don't know.
By the way, the practice of the 1950s used this method from ÁVH and people's courts.
It was not the accuser, but the accused who had (should) prove that he did NOT commit something.
In vain, this Union looks more and more like "those". Adapting the text of the prison guard from the film The Witness: (the original: "He ate the dumpling, he drank the wine too, no matter what, he gets tobacco, a brandy, don't deny it!") He also defames the truth, preaches water and wine he drinks, they don't replace him, he also gets tobacco (and so do his comrades), a brandy themselves, don't deny it!
Perhaps it would be time to form our own fact-finding organizations and start seriously worrying about the credibility of the Union and its leaders.
Oh, sorry, we're already late, it's a shame to worry about something that hasn't existed for a long time.
