# Orban Launches Intelligence Probe Into George Soros' "Open Society" Network

Apparently, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban thinks his propaganda campaign to discredit Hungarian-born billionaire George Soros - Orban’s political archnemesis - hasn’t been sufficiently effective.

As Orban’s ruling party gears up for parliamentary elections in April - where it is the prohibitive favorite to win largely thanks to its refusal to accept refugees under a plan devised by the European Commission - the prime minister has instructed his intelligence services to map what he described as the networks run by the billionaire financier’s “empire” targeting his country, Bloomberg reported.

Intelligence agencies will help evaluate what he sees as efforts by Soros to get Hungary punished by EU institutions pursuing a “mixed-population” continent, Orban said in an interview with Kossuth Radio on Friday.

The Associated Press added that the investigation will also focus on alleged Hungarian members of the network.

Intelligence agencies will help evaluate what Orban sees as efforts by Soros to get Hungary punished by EU institutions pursuing a “mixed-population” continent, Orban said in an interview with Kossuth Radio on Friday.

Orban speaks often of a coming split in Europe between “migrant-free zone” and those in the west who refuse calls to “haul” undocumented migrants away.

The unraveling of the friendship between Orban and Soros in some ways mirrors the falling out between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and US-based cleric Fehtullah Gulen in terms of the extent of the deterioration.

Three decades ago, billionaire financier George Soros paid for a young Viktor Orbán to study in Britain. And as recently as 2010, Soros donated $1 million to Orbán’s government to help the cleanup effort following the infamous “red sludge” disaster.

But the once-warm relationship between the two men has deteriorated substantially over the past seven years, as Orban has drifted further to the right. In 2014, the leader of Hungary’s Fidesz party declared he would seek to model Hungary’s government after “illiberal” democracies like the government of Russian President Vladimir Putin. In response, Soros this summer denounced his former protege and accused him of creating a “mafia state” in Hungary.

One of dozens of billboards around Hungary bearing anti-Soros messaging...

Orban responded by accusing Soros's network of using the European Union to achieve its own aims, including the promotion of mass migration into Europe.

Orban was no doubt provoked to launch the probe by reports Soros has donated $18 billion from his family office to his “Open Society” foundation, his primary tool for influence policy throughout the west. The group funds a network of dozens of organizations that fund liberal, globalist causes throughout Europe and the US. At times, recipients of funding have included Black Lives Matter groups, and even Antifa.

But will Orban’s investigation morph into a full-on, Turkey-style purge of anyone with ties to Soros’ linked organizations, regardless of their actual complicity? That, of course, remains to be seen.

Our GOVERNMENT should have long ago PUT A STOP TO this NAZI AND his AGENDA TO DESTROY AMERICA AND TUEN it into another 3RD WORLD SHITHOLE! SOROS and BIG daddy BUSH are both Nazis with a desire to initiate the 4th Reich! America as a Christian NATION was the only true power standing in the way of their "NEW WORLD ORDER" SATANIC OCCULT AGENDA! BIG DADDY BUSH has owned and controlled our MEDIA foe decades! Since his time as head of the CIA, HE had determined WHO goes to Washington and who stays ! He has infiltrated our government with pedophiles and satanic ritual abusers! THEY HAVE been trafficking children since the days of the FRANKLIN COVER-UP! BUSH'S WIFE BARBARA BUSH WAS THE DAUGHTER OF ALIESTER CROWLEY, THE SATANIST! THESE OCCULT MONSTERS ARE RUNNING OUR NATION AND JOLLYWEIRD!

Seconded. I was advising the government (of Hungary in the early ‘90s and FIDESZ (Orbán’s party) asked me to do their economic advisory panel. I was friends with one of the founders so I agreed. Orbán ran the parallel panel: the political advisory. The idea was to evaluate proposed legislation and formulate the party’s position (at the time it was in the opposition.)

Anyway, there was a well developed and powerful Orbán cult (people reacted to him like he was a rockstar or genius philosopher) and absolutely no matter how powerful the actual economic consequences, or however much my panel went one way or another (and this was sometimes bedrock human/property rights stuff) Orbán ALWAYS swayed the fraction and its leadership.

He actually caused a decent amount of damage, and he did it out of some awful narcissistic need or whatever.

I hated him. He didn’t like me but I wasn’t important enough for him to swat at me.

But these days he’s making me (a former personal enemy) like him. On this and many other issues.

Hopefully his intelligence services will do the logical thing and get the problem solved.

To many paid Soro's, DOD, Army, CIA, FBI........ Trolls already, thats with out the Obama bots that will fire up the next election cycle! It is now legal for the US government to propagandize the populice. Ever wonder why these sites got so screwed up? They used to be stupid and easy to spot, after Obama the started hiring high IQ trolls and gave them scripts for arguments with posting points. Your stab at humor is great. But our government has turned old school East Germany. Our people do know what that means!!

If you can afford it, and want to visit Europe, I cannot say more good things about Hungary. Beautiful country, great people. Same for Poland. Far-leftist Europe is dead.

PM Orban is a real leader and hero. The US and EU MSM are doing all they can to smear him. They need to fuck off and stop shilling for Soros. No one with any sense or intelligence respects the MSM in Europe or the US. Full of government tit suckers. Don't make me throw up, it's Friday night.

Jethro HRH Feant2 Oct 28, 2017 11:17 AM

I second that. Try to make your visit to Budapest to catch an opera in the state opera house. Eat some langos and palacintaz. Drink some egri bikaver, kekfrankos, harselevu and tokay. Try to catch a concerto in the Szt Mattias cathedral. Visit the palace in the Var and see an awesome art exhibition. The Hunagarian countryside is just as charming.

My girlfriend says 69 backwards is 96. Either way someone is getting 'SOROSED'. The EU is getting SOROSED in their economy, their culture, their identity, their gene pool. They are getting gang SOROSED with STD's (Soros transfered decay) from inferior gene pools and cultures. Open borders should be renamed 'the society for open orifices's'.

PhiPhi Oct 28, 2017 12:02 AM

I'm sure plans are afoot to neutralise Orban one way or another.

Mustahattu Oct 28, 2017 2:17 AM

Thank you Mr Orban for exposing the scum that want to destroy European cultures and replace them with kebab munching turks and arabs.

It was Soros and Obama who sweet-talked Merkel to make that infamous statement to take all Syrian refugees. That started the stampede of which perhaps only 10 percent were Syrian. She knows she fucked up but played the game of denial and to this day keeps saying that a million plus undocumented, unvetted, uneducated, and mostly unskilled rag heads from all corners of the world will only be good for Germany. Who cares about other EU countries, they can handle the spillovers. If they don't they will be forced to.

Merkel recently said, "that some countries refuse to accept any refugees is not on. That contradicts the spirit of Europe. We'll overcome that. It will take time and patience but we will succeed." She also said just a month ago that Islam "is not the cause of terrorism" and Europe has an obligation to take displaced people from Syria and Iraq.

Why does Europe have an obligation to take refugees from a crisis that was mainly created by the US?
