2016. XII. 18. Állami földprivatizáció - Győr – Moson – Sopron megye. Nem egyedül álló, hogy tőkeerős árverezők kikiáltási áron szereznek meg nagy birtoktesteket, de az már szembetűnő, hogy ebben a megyében a hivatalosan közzétett tényadatok tanúsága szerint minden 1.000 hektár elárverezett területből 935 hektár így – versenytársak, árverseny és licitálás nélkül – került az árverési nyertesekhez. A megyében is előfordult olyan "árverseny" is, ahol az árverező – az ár szándékos felverése, ezzel az esetlegesen elővásárlási jogukkal élni akarók, helyi gazdacsaládok kiszorítása érdekében – egyedül, önmagára licitált, így a nyertes árajánlat ugyan meghaladta a kikiáltási árat, de ez árversenynek nem, csupán a tőkeerővel való visszaélésnek és a jog megcsúfolásának tekinthető. Minden nyolcadik hektár elárverezett állami földterületet külföldi vagy kettős állampolgár nagybirtokosok szereztek meg. A legnagyobb területet szerző árverési nyertesek listáját a 37 FIDESZ alapító tag egyike és az ő érdekköre vezeti. A Lajta Hanság Zrt. állami területeit korábban, még a "baráti viszony" – az első Orbán-kormány, a "piszkos 12-nek" nevezett állami gazdaságok privatizálása – időszakában 50 évre bérbe kapta. E baráti viszony megromlásával, a közbeszédben csak "Orbán-Simicska háborúként" emlegetett folyamatban azonban – a "hűbéri" birtokadományozó, ám "hűtlenség" esetén attól megfosztó feudális rendszer jellemző vonásának megfelelően – minden bérbe kapott állami területét dobra verték. Így ezek adták a megyében árverésre bocsátott területek közel 2/3-adát. (Forrás: Kiélegyenaföld): http://tinyurl.com/bn8t3fd
2016. XII. 15. A magyar közbeszéd messze áll attól, hogy bármi értelmesről lehessen szót ejteni - nagyinterjú Pogátsa közgazdásszal, szociológussal, szocdemmel. A magyar sajtó témái a korrupció, a politikusok feleségei, táskái, az ellenzéki pártok acsarkodásai. Mindez egy virtuális valóság. Közben 4,3 millióan létminimum alatt élnek, és a hét magyarországi régióból négy az unió tíz legszegényebbje közé tartozik. Ezekhez kéne visszarángatni a közbeszédet, mert az elesetteken nem segít, ha azzal van tele minden lap, ki mekkora uszodát lopott össze magának, és Schiffer utálja jobban Gyurcsányt, vagy fordítva. Egy „Rogán Cili nercboája belelógott a belugás ezüstbe” címre százszor annyi kattintás jön, mint hogy „segíteni kéne a szegényeken”. A mi dolgunk beszuszakolni az emberek fejébe az olyan valóban balos toposzokat, melyekkel akár kocsmában is érvelhetnek. Például azt, hogy nem úgy van, hogy ha szegény ország vagy, akkor nem költhetsz oktatásra, hanem úgy van, hogy a sikeres országok attól lettek sikeresek, hogy sokat költöttek az oktatásra. Svédországban a kalauz is tudja ezt. Évekkel ezelőtt egy stockholmi konferencia utáni vacsorán beszélgetésbe keveredtem egy szimpatikus, okos férfival, olyan könyveket ismert, amiket én az egyetemen tanítok. Kérdeztem, mivel foglalkozik, mondta, hogy hegesztő. Meglepetésemben azt válaszoltam, hogy „úristen, azt hittem, egyetemi ember”, amin rögtön el is szégyelltem magam, és bocsánatot kértem. Mire mondta, semmi gond, amúgy a szakszervezeti szövetségnek is a vezetője. Fél évvel később olvasom, hogy ő lett a svéd miniszterelnök. Kicsit más ott, már csak azért is, mert a svédek bő kilencven százaléka beszél angolul, mindazt eredetiben olvashatja, amit idehaza mi igyekszünk majd lefordítani. (Forrás: 24)
2016. XII. 15. A Politico szerint a jövő év Soros éve lesz. Orbán Viktor: Nem az övé lesz, hanem róla fog szólni; a kettő nem ugyanaz. Mert mi a logikus válasz a kialakult helyzetre? Minden országban azon lesznek, hogy Sorost kiszorítsák. Ezt már most lehet érzékelni Európában. Felderítik, honnan jöttek a pénzek, milyen titkosszolgálati összefüggések vannak, milyen NGO-k milyen érdekeket képviselnek. A következő év Soros és az általa szimbolizált erők kiszorításáról fog szólni. Ilyen értelemben tehát a Politico jóslata indokolt. Merkel viszont negyedszer is indul a kancellárságért. Innen nézve ezt akár viccesnek is lehetne nevezni. Van humora Merkel Angelának? Orbán Viktor: Nehéz megmondani, hogy egy német mikor viccel, és mikor gondolja komolyan. Egy biztos: Merkel nem a humorra építi a pályafutását. Ő igazi erőpolitikus. Ügyesen és tudatosan használja az erőt. Ezt be kell látni, függetlenül attól, hogy menekültügyben a frászt hozta ránk. Nem véletlen, hogy ő van legrégebben hatalmon Európában. Tegyük hozzá azt is, hogy a németek eleve nagyon erősek. Már csak azért is, mert ott vannak mindenhol. Ezért bármilyen érdekütközés adódik, egy kisebb országnak úgy érdemes manőverezni velük szemben, hogy a németeknek többe legyen a leves, mint a hús, vagyis ne érje meg nekik érvényesíteni az erőfölényüket. Ne felejtsük el, hogy öt évvel ezelőtt a magyar média meghatározó része még német tulajdonban volt. Amikor a németekkel konfliktusos álláspontot képviseltem, másnap a német tulajdonban lévő magyar sajtó rögtön ellentámadást intézett. Ez a helyzet mára megváltozott. Ez már egy más világ.

14 December 2016 Ex-British ambassador who is now a WikiLeaks operative claims Russia did not provide Clinton emails. Murray, former British ambassador to Uzbekistan and associate of Assange, told he flew to Washington, D.C. for emails. He claims he had a clandestine hand-off in a wooded area near American University with one of the email sources. The leakers' motivation was 'disgust at the corruption of the Clinton Foundation and the 'tilting of the primary election playing field against Sanders' Murray says: 'The source had legal access to the information.

December 20, 2016 Naples astride a rumbling mega-volcano a study published in the scientific journal Nature Communications shows. Since 2005, Campi Flegrei has been undergoing what scientists call "uplift", causing Italian authorities to raise the alert level in 2012 from green to yellow, signalling the need for active scientific monitoring. It shows signs of "reawakening" and may be nearing a critical pressure point. The pace of ground deformation and low-level seismic activity has recently increased. The Campi Flegrei caldera was formed 39,000 years ago in a blast that threw hundreds of cubic kilometres of lava, rock and debris into the air. It was the largest eruption in Europe in the past 200,000 years, according to scientists. Campi Flegrei last erupted in 1538, though on a much smaller scale. Nearby Mount Vesuvius, whose massive eruption just over 2,000 years buried several Roman settlements in the area, including Pompeii, is also classified as an active volcano. (Source: phys)
Lengyelország
2016. XII. 13. A Honvéd Vezérkar Főnöke, és a Lengyel Fegyveres Erők Vezérkarának Főnöke közösen nyitották meg a „Júda magyar oroszlánjai Galícia földjén” című kiállítást Krakkóban. A kiállítás célja, hogy bemutassa a lengyel-magyar közös történelem egy elfelejtett közös fejezetét, amikor Galícia lengyel földjén magyar katonák tízezrei küzdöttek a lengyel nép szabadságáért. Számosan közülük zsidó származásúak voltak, akik a hívó szót meghallva önként vonultak a zászlók alá. A magyar zsidóság a háborús erőfeszítések lelkes támogatója volt, akiknek mély tisztelete az uralkodóház, és a részükre egyenlő jogokat és méltóságot, prosperitást biztosító liberális magyar kormányzat, és általában a haza iránt megkérdőjelezhetetlen volt. Amikor a háború első, számunkra kedvezőtlen szakaszában a cári haderő egészen a magyar Kárpátokig hatolt, nagy galíciai területet kerített hatalmába. A limanowai, majd a gorlicei csata után a hadiszerencse megfordult, és az orosz hadsereg kiszorult Magyarországról és Galícia nagyobb részéről, azonban az okkupáció ideje alatt az ottani zsidóság rengeteget szenvedett. Több százezernyi ortodox lengyel zsidó menekült a még osztrák-magyar hatalom alatt álló területekre, majd onnan sokan Bécsbe és Budapestre érkeztek. Az első lépés, az első találkozás, a honvédeinkkel és a közös haderő katonáival történt, amit az itt élő zsidóság a biztos megmenekülés pillanataként élt meg. (Forrás: Honvédelem)
Romania Románia
12/18/2016 Israeli strategists win Romanian election. An aggressive and creative campaign run by Israeli strategists Klughaft and Shaked helped the Romanian Center-Left Social Democratic (PSD) Party win a landslide victory in last week’s election. The PSD won 45.67% of the vote, compared to 20.4% for its nearest competitor at a time when right-wing parties are sweeping elections in Europe. The campaign for PSD changed the party’s image into a younger, patriotic alternative. Klughaft and Shaked used messages that traditionally come from right-wing parties to improve the image of their party on the Center-Left. Their slogan was “Dare to believe in Romania.” There were also negative ads, saying that backers of other parties do not believe in the country’s future. Klughaft is known for his success as chief strategist for Yehudi but he also worked on a protest of reservists following the 2006 Second Lebanon War that helped bring the Right back to power and a campaign urging the study of math featuring former president Peres. Shaked has worked on campaigns of Prime Minister Netanyahu and Shas chairman Deri. (Source: TheJerusalemPost)

Turkey Törökország
20 December, 2016 Anti-Western conspiracy theories rife in Turkey following Russian ambassador shooting. The incident is widely seen as an attempt to sour relations between the two countries ahead of two rounds of talks between Moscow, Ankara and Tehran on the future of the Syrian crisis. Mr Putin said he is keen to find out who was “guiding the gunman’s hand” in the attack. Pro-government newspapers in Turkey were quick to point blame in the direction of the US’ Central Intelligence Agency, claiming the envoy’s death was a plot carried out by the US-based Muslim cleric Gulen, whom Turkey says is behind the failed coup in July aimed at toppling Mr Erdogan. Many Turks have taken to social media to posit their own theories, including the idea that US President Obama ordered the assassination as “payback” for Russian meddling in the election, or to prevent its NATO ally from becoming too close too Russia. Some Russian politicians, too, have been speculating about the assassination, claiming it was orchestrated by NATO countries. Other theories floating around the internet include one which suggests the ambassador was not really killed. “How can someone be shot 8 times and there be no blood in any of the photos? Staged assassination?”- one commentator wondered on Twitter. (Source: TheIndependent): http://tinyurl.com/h7h4rvx

The president added that Karlov "was in good standing with both the government of Turkey and other political groups in that country." The Turkish leader Erdogan also branded the shooting of Russia’s ambassador in Ankara an incitement aimed at destroying bilateral ties. ”Both Turkey and Russia have the will not to be deceived by this false flag attack.” Erdogan said.

United States
12/20/16 7 times the CIA Influenced foreign politics around the World: Russian Civil War (1918-1920). The communists ultimately won and remained firmly in power for the next 70 years under the banner of the Soviet Union. The U.S.' decision to back Moscow's early opponents was a primary factor in the rift in relations between the two superpowers. Italy, 1948 General Election. During the 1948 Italian general election, the CIA, headed by future U.S. President Truman, covertly reached out to Christian Democrat de Gasperi and offered financial and political support against his socialist opponents. Gasperi won the election with 48 percent of the vote thanks and the CIA repeated this strategy in Italian elections for the next 24 years. "We had bags of money that we delivered to selected politicians, to defray their political expenses, their campaign expenses, for posters, for pamphlets," Wyatt, a late former CIA operative involved in the operation, told CNN in a 1995 interview. Iran, 1953 Overthrow Of popular Prime Minister Mossadegh. The CIA only public admitted in 2013 its role in the overthrow, making it the earliest foreign coup officially claimed by the agency. "It is easy to see now why many Iranians continue to resent this intervention by America in their internal affairs," former Secretary of State Albright said in a 2000 speech. Congo, 1960 Overthrow of President Lumumba who was an influential figure calling for Congolese independence from its colonist Belgium and became the country's first democratically elected prime minister. Belgium intervened. As the Belgian occupied the nation, Lumumba appealed to the U.N. The U.S. sided with Belgium, leaving Lumumba to turn to the Soviets for assistance. In response, the U.S. and Belgium conspired against the Congolese prime minister leading to his capture and execution at the hands of Congolese and Belgian mercenaries in 1961. Cuba, 1961 Bay Of Pigs Invasion. The U.S. trained and equipped Cuban rebels for the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion, but the attack was thwarted by Cuban forces. The U.S. initially supported Castro's revolutionary cause before it took a socialist undertone. Once Castro enacted economic reforms that nationalized U.S. properties, the short-lived alliance unraveled and President Eisenhower imposed harsh trade sanctions against Havana, which exist to this day. Castro responded by becoming closer to Moscow and its Soviet-style administration. Around the period when U.S. relations with Cuba were at their tensest point, the CIA was able to successfully sponsor a coup in another Caribbean nation, providing "material support" for the assassin of Trujillo Dominican Republic. Indonesia, 1965 Anti-Communist Purge. Six senior Indonesian army generals were kidnapped and killed by Indonesian military officials claiming to be from the 30 September Movement. The armed forces, led by General Suharto, began to systematically imprison, torture and kill anyone suspected of having communist ties. Officials within the CIA have admitted to supplying names of communists and providing support for the purges that killed over 400,000 people. "It really was a big help to the army. They probably killed a lot of people, and I probably have a lot of blood on my hands, but that's not all bad. There's a time when you have to strike hard at a decisive moment," Martens, a former member of the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta's political section and later State Department consultant, told the Washington Post in 1990. Chile, 1973 Overthrow of President Allende. Allende was elected president in 1970, despite CIA-backed attempts to disrupt his success. It continued its attempts to sabotage the Chilean economy and Allende's socialist policies. In 1973, General Pinochet led a military assault on the presidential palace, during which Allende allegedly committed suicide. Pinochet took power and began a campaign of forced disappearances against leftists, with over 3,000 missing and a further 27,000 affected by human rights violations. The CIA continued to work with Pinochet and others in the violent Washington-supported campaign of repression against leftist ideology in South America known as Operation Condor that killed up to 60,000 people across Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay. Prior to Chile, the CIA sponsored Latin American, anti-communist coups in Guatemala in 1954 and Brazil in 1961. (Source: InternationalBusinessTimes): http://tinyurl.com/jawhsm7
Dec 20, 2016 California gained an embassy in Russia last weekend, at least in the eyes of those who have promised to seek a statewide vote on secession, nicknamed "Calexit," in 2018. Marinelli, a San Diego resident who is the leader of the group promoting an effort to turn the state into an independent country, organized the Moscow event that was publicized on social media. The effort faces the longest of odds, requiring not only initial approval by California voters in 2018 but a subsequent special election in 2019. Even if successful then, the proposal would have to pass difficult if not insurmountable legal obstacles. (Source: LATimes): http://tinyurl.com/zbn5du3 (photo)

The International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) drafted a code of five principles for news websites to accept, and Facebook announced it will work with “third-party fact checking organizations” that are signatories to the code of principles. Facebook says that if the “fact checking organizations” determine that a certain story is fake, it will get flagged as disputed and, according to the Facebook announcement, “there will be a link to the corresponding article explaining why. Stories that have been disputed may also appear lower in News Feed.” IFCN is hosted by the Poynter Institute for Media Studies. A cursory search of the Poynter Institute website finds that Poynter’s IFCN is openly funded by Soros’ Open Society Foundations as well as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Google, and the National Endowment for Democracy.
