Hungary is a Failed State. Over. Extinct.

2 commentsby Bob Nichols STAFF WRITER
(San Francisco) Hungary’s been abused for centuries and survived. Never before have the abusers gone after the most defenseless – the unborn and babies with hammer and tongs.
Hungary is a failed state, pushed to extinction; the men’s sperm killed off and the women’s germ cells fried as the next generation, as yet unborn, is killed in the womb. They never even had a chance.
Radiologically exterminated by pitiful, cowardly “war fighters” like the American (…) -

Hungary defies the IMF
by Jérome Duval*
All bets are off between the IMF and the conservative Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. What’s bitten the former golden boy of the Atlanticists for him to suddenly want to introduce taxes on financial profits when it would be easy to raise additional taxes on work?
