Viktor Orbán’s 2020 State of the Nation speech: Full Transcript
English Translation provided by the Hungarian Government Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I am extremely fortunate not to be delivering a state of the nation address in the Hungary of one hundred years ago. I say this because this year is the centenary of the Trianon peace diktat. One hundred
Part Three: China’s Interference in NZ Politics, ‘Soft Power’
Professor Anne-Marie Brady Supplementary Submission to the New Zealand Parliament Justice Select Committee Inquiry into Foreign Interference Activities, 2019 * Part One: Magic Weapons * Part Two: Leninist tactic As in the Cold War years, united front work not only serves foreign policy goals, but can sometimes be used as a
You’ll Never Guess Where Helen Clark Thinks Are the Greatest Places on Earth
As recently reported on The BFD New Zealand’s very own Duchess of Globalist Elitism, Helen Clark, has published a new report just chock-full of the sort of finger-wagging wokescolding that UN cronies specialise in. Coming from the UN and Clark, the report is short on objective facts
Part Two: China’s Interference in NZ Politics, ‘a Leninist Tactic’
Professor Anne-Marie Brady Supplementary Submission to the New Zealand Parliament Justice Select Committee Inquiry into Foreign Interference Activities, 2019 Part One: Magic Weapons The role of the CCP in Chinese foreign policy The People’s Republic of China is a party-state that since its founding in 1949, has
The Nebulous Nong from the United Nations
Leilani Farha, the nebulous nong from the United Nations has gone, leaving lefties all afroth. “Goodness me”, they proclaim, “did you hear what she just said?” “No, what was it?” “Adequate housing is a human right, and this country’s gone and let everyone down! She said it’s right
Part One: ‘Magic Weapons’ China’s Interference in NZ Politics
Professor Anne-Marie Brady Supplementary Submission to the New Zealand Parliament Justice Select Committee Inquiry into Foreign Interference Activities, 2019 Professor Brady is a specialist in the politics of the People’s Republic of China (PRC, China) and the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) Party-State system; as well as
America’s Dependence on Medications from China
Author of China Rx: Exposing the Risks of America’s Dependence on China for Medicine Rosemary Gibson has revealed China’s “global chokehold” on the “manufacturing of medicines and medical supplies.” It has always been said that China plays the long game and the revelation of the USA’s current
Election Influences: Political Party Donations Are Small Potatoes
Politicians all sing from the same song sheet when asked if the Chinese Communist Party is buying its way into NZ Politics. “No!” they cry in unison. Of course, they are quite correct because there is currently no evidence of large donations from the CCP going directly to NZ political
Why The BFD?
Jacinda Ardern’s fingernails must be carbon fibre enhanced as she digs them into the myth of an unbiased MSM. To the contrary, on a daily basis we receive news and opinion that is consistently unfair and unbalanced. Anyone following American politics will recognise that Trump news is predominantly liberal
The Racist Hypocrisy of the Left
“Anti-racism” is the founding conceit of the modern left. The contemporary left was founded in the 1960s and its great bugaboo was not, as Bryan Burrough shows in his Days of Rage, the Vietnam War or any of the other guff ageing Boomers congratulate themselves on, it was the
More Finger-Wagging Globalist Garbage from Helen Clark
As Karl du Fresne wrote recently, former New Zealand prime minister Helen Clark is a “leading global figurehead” of the new, leftist ruling class. This ruling class is, as du Fresne notes, hypocritical and decidedly totalitarian: They have a decidedly prudish streak when it comes to alcohol and think the
Karl du Fresne on New Zealand’s New Elite
What’s particularly remarkable about the political left, these days especially is the extent of their conceit and self-delusion. The left are utterly convinced that they, and they alone, are on the side of “good”, the “right side of history”. In Jim Goad’s words, “The modern left’s
Paedophiles and Nazis: The German Greens’ Shocking Skeletons
Either I’m just a paranoid conspiracy theorist, or there really is a persistent nexus between left-wing politics and paedophilia. Left-wing activists, politicians and media just seem to keep getting busted for kiddy-fiddling, or acting as apologists for those who do. Still, maybe it’s all just
Is This Racist?
It’s politically incorrect to admit not wanting New Zealand to be inundated with Chinese migrants – but what do I care about political correctness other than spitting in its face? It’s not individual Chinese migrants that I object to at all because my experience of them is that they
US Government Claims Huawei ‘Smoking Gun’
Some time back, I started to write a post for The BFD, grudgingly ceding credit where it was due to the Ardern government for banning Huawei from New Zealand’s 5G network. “That was a wise decision”, I began to write. Huawei is notorious not just for the sort of
