Bill
Clinton to Poland and Hungary: Do As We Say on Immigration, You Dirty
Little Putins!

Shortly
after World War II, after the Soviet Red Army liberated Hungary from
Nazi occupation, the Hungarians held their first election in six
years. The November, 1945 vote resulted in an overwhelming victory
for a coalition led by the agrarian, anti-communist Hungarian
Smallholders Party. This victory at the ballot box infuriated
Hungary's Communist Party and Hungary's new occupying Soviet
overlords. Little by little, in what became known as "salami
tactics," the Hungarian communists chipped away at the ruling
coalition -- slicing off one piece of salami (coalition partner) at a
time until nothing was left. Once accomplished, a new election was
held in which the Communists captured power and ruled for 40 years
from the barrel of a Soviet tank (literally in 1956).
Thus, having helped liberate Hungary from occupation by a totalitarian power (the Nazis) that forced the Hungarians to obey Berlin, the Soviets succeeded in establishing a totalitarian occupation that forced the Hungarians to obey Moscow. It is little wonder that many Hungarians bitterly oppose foreign meddling in their affairs.
We are told that the United States liberated the Soviet bloc from authoritarian Soviet rule in 1989. Thus having finally freed Hungary from the fascist and communist totalitarians, Hungary might finally be able to exercise its own sovereignty and determine its own domestic and foreign policies.
In reality, shortly after the "liberation," the US applied the kind of political pressure that was still fresh in the minds of most Hungarians. The first elected government was too nationalist, complained Washington. The US openly favored a return to power of the "reformed" communist party, which with Washington's assistance was accomplished in 1994. The US meddling in Hungary's internal affairs has continued non-stop since Hungary's "liberation" -- just like Soviet meddling in Hungary's internal affairs continued non-stop after Moscow liberated Budapest from Berlin.
Lately the US (and EU bureaucrats in Brussels) have taken to browbeating Hungary and the rest of the "bad boys" in central Europe like Poland, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic for refusing to accept tens of thousands of refugees fleeing from the countries being bombed by the US (with the assistance of EU bureaucrats in Brussels). Don't make your problem our problem, say the central European leaders.
Who do these pipsqueaks think they are questioning Washington like that, scoff the US power elite. The latest missile fired at central Europe came from former President Bill Clinton, who slammed Poland and Hungary in New Jersey earlier this week over their refusal to obey Brussels and Washington.
Clinton's message was clear: "we liberated you and gave you back your sovereignty - now do as we say!"

Said Clinton:
Poland and Hungary, two countries that would not be free but for the United States and the long Cold War, have now decided now that this democracy's too much trouble. They want Putin-like leadership. Just give me an authoritarian dictatorship and keep the foreigners out. Sound familiar?
As
he did for much of his eight years in office, Clinton got this one
horribly wrong. Hungary has not "given up on democracy"
when it comes to accepting refugees. In fact, Hungary has embraced
more democracy than Clinton and his wife would ever tolerate from
voters on the immigration issue. Earlier this month the Hungarian
parliament approved
a nationwide referendum on
whether Hungary should accept the mandatory refugee quotas imposed by
Brussels. Democracy enough?
But to Clinton and Clinton (and her big backer George Soros), allowing the people to vote on a fundamental issue such as refugee policy is not democratic. It's only considered democratic if the Hungarian government takes dictation from Washington and Brussels and ignores the will of the Hungarian people.
If Hillary is elected, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban should declare both the Clintons persona non grata.

Le

MOSCOW
(Sputnik) — Former US State Secretary Hillary Clinton is the
most "dangerous" for France candidate in the race
for the post of the president of the county as she
has "gone hand in hand" with the US decisions
that plunged the world into "chaos," France’s National
Front (FN) party leader Marine Le Pen said.
"There
is a candidate who appears a lot more dangerous for France
than the others — that's Hillary Clinton… this is a
woman who has gone hand in hand with the full spectrum
of American decisions which have plunged the world objectively
into chaos, " Le Pen told the RT television channel in an
interview released Friday.
Le
Pen expressed her belief that Clinton would continue this
"destructive policy, a policy of conflict, a policy
of imprisonment of Europe in blinded Atlanticism, I
think it's a danger for world peace."
The
2016 US presidential election will take place in November.
Hillary Clinton is the frontrunner of the Democratic Party,
closely followed by Senator Bernie Sanders. Business tycoon
Donald Trump became the effective Republican Party presidential
candidate by winning in a landslide victory the primary
election in the US state of Indiana on May 3.
