Peloni: I have to express my great appreciation to Andrew Benjamin for sharing this analysis of the recent victory in Hungary where Israel’s long standing ally, Victor Orban, was soundly defeated. While the answers to various questions ab0ut the new Hungarian leader remain uncertain, it is clear that many concerns about this election may have been quite unfounded. As Andy explains, time will tell, something which I often note myself.
Americans have seen the results of HOPE & CHANGE. It was not pretty. Are we seeing history repeat itself, if not exactly the same way? Incidentally, have we seen this play before?

“My job here is not to advance good ideas, but to kill the bad ones.” – John Kennedy, U.S. Senator, R-Louisiana. BOOK: “How to Test for Stupid”
*******
AN ELECTION WENT DOWN IN HUNGARY TO PARALLEL THAT OF FOUR YEARS AGO.
Does it mean the new Supreme Leader will have a better haircut and a better fitting suit than the one worn by the exiting Supreme Leader?
Will dinners served at the Carmelite Monastery or the Sándor Palace contain less calories brought in from RUSZWORM next door?
The magnitude of the win was at best similar to the magnitude of the win four years ago. The name of the winning party is different than that of the losing party. What this means is what we examine below.
“I’m not a Fidesz supporter … I’m an Orbánist,” Szilágyi told The Associated Press in an interview in Budapest two days after the election. “Hungarians rarely get a man like him. You may love him or hate him, but I think everyone acknowledges that he’s a genius.”
My personal feeling is this because I’m a simple man with an even simpler mind: ALL I CARE ABOUT IS THAT IT BECOMES AN OVERWHELMING VICTORY FOR HUNGARY AND THE HUNGARIAN PEOPLE.
Whether or not you like one candidate, or the other, the day of sobering up, or reckoning if you will, will be assured. How long will the honeymoon last? I give it six months.
These are the questions I cannot yet answer.
Have the Hungarian People been played? As for myself? I am neutral at this point, enjoyed the celebrations, and can’t stop laughing. See the video.
Go FULL SCREEN, sound up, on your large PC/Mac display. Watch in disbelief to its end. As I do, you will love the Hungarian people to death. They are a lovely, remarkable people.
You can see that the electorate is, shall we say, young. You can see the booze flowing. And you can understand…
The prime minister elect’s win was almost exactly of the same order as his predecessor’s. Two thirds, but in reality 51% to 38%. The repercussions for both the United States and for Europe are yet unknown. However what you’ll read here will give you a few clues.
I COVER THE PROS AND CONS THE MEDIA WON’T.
We step back to encompass our understanding of Europe, a dream that was only partially won, and one that may yet be lost. The United States has a far larger role in this play than either Europe or the US has anticipated. And a great deal to lose if it took the wrong step – as Obama and Biden have. Hungary, incidentally, is situated in the dead center of Europe. (And please, don’t ask Kamala to find it on a map.)
And as we all know, the EU’s successes are a mixed bag on which the Hungarian nation is betting. Russia is a losing bet. Turkey is a losing bet. China?
The jury is out.
There are two nations you hate Tucker on your religious path to Islam that are not mixed bags: the United States and Israel.
To understand the background about where we’ve landed, watch the videos, which also gives us clues about the Hungarian mindset and the conditions under which it has reacted.
IT’S THE ECONOMY STUPID!
The economics: Western Europe is robbing the southern and eastern part to expand its own wealth. On the other hand, most Europeans rent their flats, and 93 percent of Hungarians, professional kvetchers, own theirs. Hungarians who “escaped” to western Europe will pay rent forever, and a few months after their deaths.
Rents in both western, central, and eastern Europe take up 40-50% of the worker’s income. Ditto for the United States. While comparative rents are, for example, 1800 Euros in Paris, London, or Stockholm, in Budapest a similar flat will rent for 600 Euros. (I speak of non-luxury “warehousing-of-humans” flats.) Another example: Most of the American and Hungarian younger set cannot raise the funds to own their own homes. There is no, or little difference, between the American and Hungarian experience and the plight of the young. The new regime, given the global economic realities, will not change these facts. Note that the voter base is young.
Americans lived under the slogan HOPE & CHANGE for twelve years – including Sleepy Joe’s term. We’ve seen this play before. The HOPE has evaporated, leaving only the CHANGE jingling in our pockets As well as the $120,000 debt for each American – babies included. As for Europe?
Do I have mixed feelings about the most important election that went down in Europe a few days ago? Especially for fans of CPAC and the “populist” alliance living uncomfortably in a union that is decidedly hostile to authenticity, tradition, culture, history and legacy, and decidedly progressive?
Did the election in Hungary doom the conservative movement as European and American left-wing dreamers had hoped – and predicted? After all, is it not what Obama and Soros and most of the members of the European Council believe happened? They are beyond themselves in glee! The big smiles however might be wiped off their faces soon enough…unless I’m wrong about my assessment here.
If the dreamers are up the tree, hanging on to a branch they crawled out on that will break under their collective weight, what comes next?
THE VIDEO ABOVE, BEGINNING WITH THE DANCE BY THE NEW HEALTH MINISTER (Hungary’s version of RFK Jr.), WHO SEEMS MOSTLY DELIGHTED INDEED.
It is delightfully delighting. As you saw, almost everyone in Hungary speaks English, and quite well, thank you. One might argue that Hungary is the only English-speaking nation on the European mainland, and the UK, Sweden, and France will be the first three Arabic-speaking nations in Europe, with Spain and Italy to follow.
In the delightful video you saw a few Hungarian ideologues parrot the very same EU, leftwing, Soros-generated media tropes about autocracy, authoritarian rule, tyranny, oppression, rule of law violations, the end of democracy, corruption, on and on. Natch, they were carrying the EU flag. And then you saw the children who, with their extensive political experience spanning a half century, even if they’re only 18 who just drank a sixpack, can vote.
Christopher Cook summed it up: “Voting is the act of one person picking the flavor of oppression under which another person will live.”
The Usual Suspects in the Soros-owned media hand out the talking points each day.
Corruption, corruption, corruption. OK, show me the beef. I’ve seen no evidence. None, nada. Nepotism? Good thing our great president Biden was never corrupt.
In America nepotism was shown the door when JFK appointed his own brother to be Attorney General. I tell you, the United States was only free of corruption during Democrat regimes.
If there was corruption in Hungary as the entire Soros-EU-massaged media insisted, next to what the Biden Crime Family pulled off, the ex-prime minister of Hungary was a bumbling amateur. C’mon on Man, impress me!
Let me be clear: I am not taking sides here. I am exposing the media and the powers that took him down.
Those powers goose-fed the Hungarian people the very same slogans and narratives – one media source repeating verbatim the other’s scripts – similar to what we heard from Joe, Kamala and the nation’s Obamedia during the run-up to the 2024 U.S. election cycle. The same fairy tales from CNN, MSDNC, NY Times, WashPo, PBS, NPR…and the rest.
Hungarians were told – as if you haven’t yet guessed it from the play we’ve seen before – that the outgoing PM will shut down the election, arrest his opponents, jail their staff and associates, and will become a dictator for life. For certain he will refuse to step down.
What we actually saw with all our four eyes was: his farewell speech was not only timely, but surely as graceful and respectful as any concession can get.
Every characterization with which the EU media and the professional agitators paid for by the Soros Cabal had charged the former prime minister, to drive the public to hate him (let’s call it what it was: Orbán Derangement Syndrome), went up in smoke the very moment the concession was broadcast.
It proved, the same way the Miller Probe went up in smoke, that these political hitmen were liars and poison. In it only to gain their employers power from a naive public that believed them.
The agitator’s artificially-manufactured hatred, a rubber stamp version of Trump Derangement Syndrome, was nothing but hot air meant to drive fear and hatred to divide the people. United We Stand. Divided We Fall.
A divided nation is easier to control, propagandize, influence, and conquer.
A play we’ve seen before, have we not?
We live in a world where feelings trump facts. We refuse to examine the reality, it being a belief whereas a million 18-20 year-old university students understand what took place 16 years ago, or for that matter, 36 years ago in the city where drinking open cans of beer is not only permissible and a common sight right at the center of government, finance, and culture.
Budapest, the city, was a gigantic booze fest! A Roman Orgy right in front of the Roman ruin foundations at the Sándor Palace, the seat of the president.
The global media, reporters and analysts alike, have no clue about what went down.
They were given a script years ago by the aforementioned Usual Suspects and told what will go down. They spent tens of millions in hard cash and tens more in soft (propaganda, media) to get the results. The command came with a mandate to rewrite the script before they published it so it will not be an exact copy of the talking points given to them by the cabal. Or the surprise that has not yet registered on their faces. For example:
PÉTER MAGYAR REJECTS THE EURO MIGRATION PACT & WILL NOT ACCEPT ILLEGALS INTO HUNGARY. Rather, he will incarcerate them along with their prayer rugs, soiled nighties, beads, and sandals.
He said he will reinforce Hungary’s border fences which had zero entries before. Now it’ll be minus zero. Checkmate George, Alex, Baraq Hussein, alJazeera, Ursula…
You can listen to either the leftwing or the Taqaurite talking heads: the ebullient, the exhilarated, the orgasming clowns, bots whose knees will jerk as if they had witnessed the second coming. At the other end we have the gloom and doom naysayers and the nattering nebobs of negativism. Two sides of the same ideologue coin. It gets worse for their predictions:
PM ELECT PÉTER MAGYAR INVITES BIBI NETANYAHU TO BUDAPEST
So far, looking in from outside the bottle, I haven’t seen anything disturbing about the new regime. But time will tell.
On the other hand we find plenty to amuse us, including the proposed Health Minister, aka, The Dancing Bear. For example the enraptured faces of the True Believers who assure us that nothing wrong can happen. Well, for the propagandized left, the first wrong has been displayed by the headline above.
For the right, it may turn out to be a pleasant surprise.
Americans are reminded of 2008 when a man out of nowhere in a spiffy suit energetically mounted a stage. That the stage was modeled after a Greek temple meant little to the blinded-by-propaganda crowds that wildly cheered him on, as he informed the nation about the dangerous nature of the Busherite opposition: “That’s not who we are,” shouted out the America-hating Kenyan.
We are Greeks?
We remind ourselves watching the elation go down in 2008, of the Heaven’s Gate Cult lying peacefully on their bunk beds, bloated in their black track suits and Nike sneakers as their bodily fluids seeped out, waiting for the beings from the promised comet to beam them up.
THE TRUE BELIEVER IS A CULTIST.
What is THE IDEOLOGY-FREE ZONE to think of the celebrations in Hungary and the Dancing Bear?
We’ve seen this play before…that’s what!
The most certain with the fastest mouthpiece tends to be the most ignorant. Eventually everyone sobers up. Which will be a delightful surprise.
EVERYONE WAS DELIGHTFULLY DELIGHTED, EXCEPT FOR THOSE NOT QUITE AS DELIGHTED, AS WE WILL SEE THE MOST DELIGHTED BECOME THE MOST SLACK-JAWED AFTER IT ALL PLAYS OUT…
- The legacy (global) media are sooo delighted – meaning the global media that leans left – meaning about 90% of the media.
- The European Union-European Parliament and European Council that actually decide things (and is made up of mostly lefties) are delighted;
- U.S. Democrats – the party of the left and their weed-toking traveling mates who have a collection of Che T-shirts dangling in their closets, are delighted;
- The Soros-Obama-Biden-Clinton Cabal are delighted;
THE PROPAGANDA CZAR – INSHALLAH – IS DELIGHTED
- Islamopanderer Alex Soros and his Islamopologist wife (former Hillary accomplice and daughter of Muslim Brotherhood jihadis Huma Abedin), are delighted. Would you not have been delighted too, if you had succeeded convincing the world to despise Hungary just as much as you had so successfully convinced the world to disrespect the USA and Israel – and then flooded Europe with Halal meat and New York City with Sharia patrols?
- The Muslim World that has been kept out of Hungary for over a half millenia after Hungary kicked their sorry a***ss back to Asia are delighted. I am speaking of the 38 days when 2000 Hungarian men, boys and women at Eger forced 80,000 Ottoman wife beaters and pedophiles to their knees – an army that was never beaten before! The latest documentation: 80,000 is the correct number.
Below: Author’s photo of a section of the gigantic Eger Fort. There was a city inside the fort, and outside there is, even today, a tall, thin Muslim minaret.
- The Open Society Foundation that financially backs the European Parliament’s voting members is delighted – “Prime Minister Viktor Orbán scored a crushing victory in the Hungarian parliamentary elections on 3 April 2022, which secured for him a fourth consecutive term. Immediately after the elections, the European Union triggered the Rule of Law Mechanism, enabling the imposition of financial sanctions against Hungary…”
Clearly the Hungarians must have hated Orbán. That’s why they elected him four times.
- LET ME EXPLAIN WHAT “RULE OF LAW” actually means. It means that the EU promulgates laws on the fly, at its whim, usually after an election of a member state turned against the EU Mob. The “law” is meant to subjugate that member state and coerce it to comply with a previously non-existing law by invalidating the results of the election, the will of the voter, and the legitimacy of the elected. The Rule of Law doesn’t apply to those who promulgated it, only to the member state subjugated. I trust now you understand how the rule and the law actually works.

We go back to that delightful day in 2022 – also published at AMERICAN THINKER:
A BAD HAIR DAY FOR THE SOROS-EU-OBAMA-CLINTON-KERRY-BIDEN CABAL
An election went well in Europe. George Soros’ Cabal is not happy
Apr 23, 2022
“Two days after Viktor Orbán’s internationally supervised electoral triumph, George Soros’s paid off and miffed E.U. puppets, the European Parliament, and its courts which had bet on a different outcome, announced that the E.U. would impoverish Hungary by withholding billions in COVID relief and reconstruction funding.
The Hungarian nation is entitled to it by virtue of its having contributed its part to the E.U.’s wealth.
The E.U. has learned nothing from Brexit.
Hungary has…”
—
You see, the Hungarian people elected the wrong man in 2022.
Not the man the EU wanted. From that day the EC launched a massive, coordinated political, propaganda and media war against the incumbent and the Hungarian people who voted for him. The collusion of leftwing actors, politicians, influencers, and financiers gave us the illusion that Hungary under the then-incumbent was no different from North Korea and Iran. It was an oppressive tyranny, a gulag, a prison for 9.7 million Hungarians. A place where the police, at whim, took citizens off the streets into back alleys to give them a lesson in civics.
So the EC decided to withhold the billions, Hungary’s money the nation was entitled to, with which the nation could have built new hospitals, clinics, schools, and fund social services that would not alter the sex organs of ten-year olds.
The youthful, energetic Prime Minister Elect, presumably having made a deal, promised the voters that the EU’s sanctions will be lifted, and the funds that were withheld for the sole purpose of crushing the Hungarian economy, significantly diminish the nation’s GDP and the quality of life for Hungary’s citizens, would be restored – after the regime had changed of course. They also will tell the Hungarians that the EU’s activities had nothing to do with the election results.
No foreign interference at all happened and they have never heard the names Soros, Obama or Biden.
NO FOREIGN INTERFERENCE AT ALL, NOTHING, NADA, ZILCH:
- Judicial Watch Sues for Records on Biden State Department Grants to Support Leftist Opposition Media to Conservative Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban
- U.S. Taxpayer money channeled through State Department flows into Hungarian Opposition Media
In category A, funding was awarded to well known left-wing media outlets such as 444 (20,800 USD), Átlátszó (24,890 USD), Magyar Hang (26,300 USD) and Klubrádió (26,600 USD).
Hungarians who could not make ends meet (not necessarily the fault of the exiting PM or party, regardless of allegations of corruption), will understand the implications.
One is this: The massive corruption of the EC and their hunger for power had a lot more to do with the financial loss to Hungary than the Orbán regime.
The other is: The Hungarian mindset is a relic of the socialist years. It hs not yet integrated what made American Great. Wealth one has managed to build for himself has nothing to do with another’s inability to build wealth for himself. The allegations of personal wealth-building by the outgoing PM’s family, even if true, had nothing to do with the lack of talent of another who is unable to build wealth for himself.
The third: Envy is one of the mortal sins of man.
- The neoliberal NGO’s peppered throughout Hungary funded by the EU, European Parliament, the Soros Cabal, and the U.S. Department of State (see above), are operated by socialist ideologues, foreign governments, underpaid academics at the universities, and paid-for propagandists. They are all delighted;
- The hundreds of thousands of students from Hungary’s many universities pouring into Budapest’s delightfully beautiful streets (after the Open Society Foundations and their media have indoctrinated and mobilized them), to a man, or boy, or girl, are delighted after having cast a vote for the first time.
Given that in a nation of 9.7 million inhabitants it would not have taken much to throw an election. A half million delightfully-propagandized youth who’ve never voted before, and who could care less about politics before no matter how delightful the politics were, were delighted to join the nationwide booze fest. Think of the Hungarian version of Spring Break in Florida and you get the picture – even on this delightful Spring day of 2026.
They delightfully voted to the delight of the Soros-Obama-Clinton-Biden-EU Cabal on the anticipated promise that their student loans will be forgiven in the next life the latest, by Joe Biden, or whomever promised them perks, gifts, or a livelihood to be paid for by other delightful taxpayers who might undelightfully resent it all.
The next generation of WOKE is born.
MESS WITH THE HUNGARIANS YOU JIHADI CREEP?

ELON MUSK, allegedly one of the smartest men on either side of the Atlantic who will put into writing the challenge that he is smarter than you reading this, may not be as delighted as the wildly-cheering crowds you just watched in utter delight.
Or despair. Despairingly, Musk wrote, and who am I to disagree with the smarter man?

GEORGE SOROS WILLS $18 BILLION IN PERPETUITY TO OPEN SOCIETY to perpetuate Islamic rule on Europe by Sharia. He will likely tell us Sharia is the “democratic ideal.” And of course, to end the Zionist Entity is the only path to a liberal utopia. You don’t believe it? OK, ask the Ayatollah.

NOT SO FAST! AS IT IS IN THE US, “IT’S THE ECONOMY STUPID!”
Orbánism is not dead. It is entrenched in the Hungarian worldview. It is not dead, it is just taking a nap. Sure, Viktor lost before and made a resounding comeback. So did Trump.
And so, friends, readers, accomplices in Thought Crimes, before you count your eggs that have not yet hatched, you’ve heard the cons.
We’ve answered the pros.
