Guest Post by Daniel McAdams
US Ambassador to Hungary David Pressman and his husband.
Biden’s Ambassador to Hungary, David Pressman, is a particularly odious specimen in a long line of obnoxious US residents of Szabadság tér since the end of Hungary’s subjection to Soviet control in 1989.
Before him, Soap Opera producer and Obama glamor-queen moneybags Coleen Bell warned Hungarians in 2016 to get on board with the destruction of Syria or face the wrath of DC.
Secretary of State Tony Blinken’s own father, Donald, did the Clinton Administration’s bidding – which was to promote with the entire weight of the US government the return of the communists – when he was US Ambassador to Hungary in the 1990s. I remember it well as editorial page editor of the largest English language newspaper in Central Europe, in Budapest: fielding calls from the US Embassy demanding that I tone down criticisms of “former” communists in my weekly editorials.
The US wanted an obedient Hungary, not an independent and democratic Hungary. Kind of like what the Soviet Union wanted.
Washington’s overt meddling and manipulation of Hungary’s internal politics has been ongoing from the beginning of the post-Cold War era, when the long-discredited Mark Palmer decided that his seat on the Ambassadorial throne in Budapest entitled him to live like Smaug upon all the gold of St. Steven’s ancient kingdom. Then-Secretary of State James Baker gave Palmer 24 hours to vacate his position as US Ambassador due to the disgusting corruption. Things haven’t improved much since then.
The State Department has repeatedly meddled in the Hungarian elections, trying without success to undermine and overthrow the popular Fidesz-led government. And Washington has habitually interfered in Hungary’s domestic media market, subsidizing all manner of anti-Fidesz outlets – in the name of “independent” media.
It’s OK when we do it, but even a hoax cooked up by the Hillary campaign that Russia might be trying to influence the US elections led the US establishment to spend six-years-and-counting in paroxysms of panic over the “reds under our beds.”
“Tin soldiers and Putin’s coming…”
The whole thing was a dirty lie, but still it managed to cripple our country.
Many of us otherwise admiring the willingness of Fidesz to stand up for Hungary’s own national interest in the face of incessant US manipulations have been slightly frustrated by the extreme patience and go-slow approach of Budapest toward its wannabe new overlords in DC.
But all of that has suddenly changed.
A Hungary that has openly embraced its 1,100 year old Christian values and has, similarly to Russia, banned the aggressive promotion of homosexuality to children in schools, unsurprisingly found itself in the cross-hairs of a Biden Administration that smirks approvingly at the open sexualization of children by men dressed as women.
So what better way to get back at Hungary than for Biden’s handlers to send a man married to another man – with two children – to parade around Hungary as the face of America?
Since then, Ambassador Pressman has been endlessly hectoring Hungary to “get with the program” of the NATO/US war on Russia and has been relentless in attacking Hungary’s attempts to remain neutral in the conflict.
No doubt the neoccon ideologue Pressman has no clue that hundreds of thousands of ethnic Hungarians were without consent placed outside the borders of Hungary in the lop-sided diktat after WWI and that those ethnic Hungarians have been aggressively pursued by Zelensky’s regime to feed into the meat grinder of eastern Ukraine.
It’s a win-win for Ukraine: how to get rid of your minorities “problem”? Send them immediately to the front lines to be slaughtered.
It should not be a surprise that Hungary disapproves of this policy of Ukraine ethnically-cleansing its territories of Hungarians, gypsies, and other “troublesome” minorities. So why would they endorse such a policy as laid out by Pressman and his masters in Washington?
But Pressman pressed on, demanding that Hungary abandon its own national interests in the service of neocon Washington and Brussels’ interests.
Then it happened. Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó finally pushed back. Hard. Responding to Pressman’s meddling in Hungarian internal affairs, he released a statement:
It’s completely irrelevant what he or any other ambassador thinks about domestic political developments in Hungary, because they have nothing to do with it. So, we ask for more respect for Hungarians.
But the thick-headed Pressman didn’t take the hint, responding:
Respectfully, we do not consider Russia’s attempt to unilaterally redraw the borders of Europe as just a ‘domestic political development in Hungary.’
[That’s rich coming from a US government that has repeatedly used military force in unprovoked wars throughout the Middle East and that has redrawn the borders of Serbia by force after illegally bombing the country to smithereens and salting the earth with depleted uranium munitions.]
Pressman’s snark led Szijjártó to lock and load, firing off a blistering rebuke to Washington’s meddling flunky:
Regarding statements of the US Ambassador to Budapest I would like to say the following: It is irrelevant – absolutely irrelevant – what he or any other Ambassador thinks about domestic political developments in Hungary because it has nothing to do with him. It’s not for him to interfere in Hungary’s internal affairs, and if he wishes to use his stay in Hungary to criticize the actions of a government elected by a clear majority of the Hungarian people and legitimized by the Hungarian people, he will have a very difficult job in working effectively to improve cooperation between the two countries.
Because when we welcome ambassadors we mean it literally. We welcome Ambassadors, people who we believe are sent by their host country to work on improving and developing relations between the two countries on the basis of mutual respect.
We do not accept governors or procurators sent here to say how we should live our lives. That era is over.
Hungary is a sovereign country. No one from the outside can tell us how to live. It is therefore irrelevant what a citizen of another country – even an ambassador – thinks about the internal political processes in Hungary, and it is up to the Hungarian people to decide whether the government is working well or not, whether they are satisfied with it or not.
In the forthcoming Parliamentary elections, this will be expressed, as been expressed quite clearly in recent years, even though efforts have been made to inspire and even finance contrary decisions from other parts of the world. Perhaps even from where the Ambassador comes from.
So we ask for more respect for the Hungarians, even from the Ambassador.
This is a new era in Hungarian-US relations. And I would argue that it is healthy for both Hungary and the United States.
And why am I pleased that Hungary has pushed back? American patriotism. I want the neocons, and all their works and all their pomps, to be smacked down and fully discredited forever. Washington’s aggressive foreign policy does not serve America’s interest, but rather the special interest of the military-industrial complex and all the cottage industries built up around it – including Congress, the media, and the think tanks/NGOs. It’s all a racket that undermines our safety, destroys the economy, and rots our moral fiber.
What should Hungary do? Of course I would like to see Budapest accelerate its push-back against Washington’s meddling, but there is no doubt Orban is in a tricky situation. Openly embracing Russia makes little sense at the moment, but slowly building anti-war coalitions based on a clear-headed understanding of history is not a bad idea.
When the smoke clears, Ukraine will have miserably lost. More than 200,000 Ukrainian men will have been slaughtered for a result that could have been achieved in April 2022 with the loss of scant that. Washington’s neocons always can be counted on to come up with the stupidest ideas. Ideas that are guaranteed to lose. And they could not care less about 200K dead Ukrainians. You gotta break a few eggs. They need to be stopped, and we all owe the Hungarian foreign minister a “thanks” for putting that process in motion.

Does anyone else find themselves sympathetic to anyone’s side opposing the U S government?
Yes
I’m now reflexively in favor of anyone opposing the Evil Empire (< that's us).
Good point. It’s akin to my reflexive skepticism of any move the government makes worldwide. My initial default thought is “what are these bastards up to now”?
Looks like they’re setting up Japan (and to a lesser degree, the Philippines) to play the next role of proxy in the coming US war with China. How stupid does Japan have to be to play along? Pretty fucking stupid.
Check out LRC.com. There is an article about the Japanese former politician Abe’s assassination. It wasn’t a lone nut. Abe had screwed with the wrong bankster and was snuffed.
Yea. I went and read the whole article at the substack. Very interesting. also recommend.
Yes. It shows how the Globalists operate around the world. We are the evil empire.
The message to the world
Abe was highest ranking victim so far of the hidden cancer eating away at governance in nation states around the world, an institutional sickness that moves decision making away from national governments to a network of privately-held supercomputer banks, private equity groups, for-hire intelligence firms in Tel Aviv, London and Reston, and the strategic thinkers employed by the billionaires at the World Economic Forum, NATO, the World Bank and other such awesome institutions.
The fourth industrial revolution was the excuse employed to transfer the control of all information in, and all information out, for central governments to Facebook, Amazon, Oracle, Google, SAP and others in the name of efficiency. As J. P. Morgan remarked, “Everything has two reasons: a good reason and a real reason.”
With the assassination of Abe, these technology tyrants, and their masters, have crossed the Rubicon, declaring that those dressed in the trappings of state authority can be mowed down with impunity if they do not follow orders.
Read this morning. Very eye opening. Sounds like a 100% CIA OP.
I just wanted to applaud the efforts of B_MC who always provides additional content and context. Many thanks
Thanks. Kind words indeed. I just figure some people don’t always have the time to follow a link and read a separate article. Sometimes a few paragraphs are enough to round out the picture.
Thank you for posting your thoughts. I believe it really adds to the process. Keep it up.
Correct!!! ESPECIALLY because he HUMILIATED Merkel in front of the world, God, and everyone!!!
And I paraphrase: “LISTEN b*tch! Last time we listened to you-we got nuked! TWICE!”
Japan and China have a very long standing hatred of each other and it would not take too much provocation from either side (or Uncle Schlmo) to kick off a kinetic war. Of course, Russia and China also have a long term hatred for each other and they find themselves on the same side in Ukraine.
Island life, Japan dependably hates everybody.
They do not have a very diverse population, so they have that going for them.
They are already have workers(?) from all other places come and breed there. Diverse is already going strong. The Jap cucks’s time will soon be over.
The Japanese, in general, are gracious and honorable people. The honor of being haters of all races, except their own, goes to Pressmans lansmen. Guess who the US Ambassador to Japan is. Right after Rahm Emanual’s arrival to Japan Abe was eliminated.
I know of thousands of dolphins and porpoises that would beg to differ among many others
Not so TN Patriot. Don’t think I’ve ever disagreed with you before. It’s a long video but worth it. A history lesson par excellence.
The Japanese are no one’s proxy in war. They are a fierce race of pitiless and relentless warriors who I’d rather have on my side than the other. Nor are they “stupid”.
War is coming and they know it. No one is going to sit this one out and they know that too.
They’re tribing up. Picking a side. And let’s not forget the NORK’s lurking just across the ocean with brand new nuclear weapons. They literally despise the Japanese. That’s a problem that MUST be addressed from their perspective.
Pretty fucking stupid?
I don’t think so.
Yes, beyond my wildest imagination has my worldview changed, especially over the past 15 years.
Saw a comment on the internet: It’s like having a happy childhood and then finding out your parents are serial killers.
You act as if a happy childhood and serial killer parents are mutually exclusive.
Almost like it’s a bad thing…
As long as the Biden administration of thieves and perverts are in charge, heck yeah!
Now repatriate the Soros family and charge them with pedaling influence around the world.
Unless of course, Budapest has a Rothschild controlled central bank. Probably.
In which case, never mind. He’s apparently untouchable.
OK . . . but, peddling.
Sorry for meddling, but my verbal abilities deserve medal-ing.
Good catch. Normally I’s purdy gud wif spellin’ but on dat wun raht dere,
well, musta been them pickled eggs I consumed in the saloon last naht.
Guess I shoulda proofread what I said bifore clickin’ the Post Comment button.
EC would be proud, fellow Anon. El Coyote would give ya an attaboy!
Hell, I even gave you a thumbs up, Webster. None taken.
Good for Szijjártó for standing up for national sovereignty.
Compare that to Germany: We blew up their pipeline and they just bend over to be continually ass-raped by the US. What a fucking pathetic country Germany is.
I just saw that Gonzalo Lira commented on the Seymour Hersh article. If Germany doesn’t care that Biden started planning the Nordstream 2 attack in 2021, they’re even more pathetic than I thought – which is hardly even possible.
A minor point worth differing with G.Lira; Biden is just the easy, disposable front for the escalating “F*ck the EU” neo-con thuggery. I’d ask, who hates proud, productive Germans more than anybody in all of history? It ain’t some has-been Delaware political hack, far past his prime lying years. And I don’t think it is dead-eyes Jake either.
No, it’s the Muslim puppeteer Obama, who wants a fourth term behind his gorilla warfare wife.
Insightful. But it’s not the American agenda. It’s the CIA,Global Bankster, NWO agenda.
DC acts like a rogue mobster city state. But, who do they work for? “London”-NYC central banks obfuscated from judgement and wrath?
ISAIAH 28:18 Your covenant with death will be annulled; your agreement with the realm of the dead will not stand. When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by, you will be beaten down by it.
(Does Seymour Hersh think about Tom Clancy every now and then?)
If I set up a GoFundMe for the victims of the upcoming Hungarian earthquake, would that be fraud?
For folks trapped under rubble, maybe start a GoFindMe.
Gallows humor.
Sorry for HAARPing on it.
Two good ones. Nicely done.
Please don’t encourage my behavior, or I’ll never learn.
Yeah, these bunch of libertines always have to flaunt it in everyone’s face. Nothing subtle for sure. Hopefully Hungary won’t have a sudden earthquake or meteor strike, or whatnot.
I want to believe trust and have faith in what is allegedly my government .
Unfortunately I am a realist and have enough life’s experiences to understand as an American Citizen what masquerades as My Government HATES ME AND EVERYTHING THE AMERICAN CITIZENS DESIRE .
The BIG CLUB in DC prove their pure hate for us in everything they do .
Appointing a faggot couple with children is a disgusting insult to a predominantly Christian nation ! Especially Hungry that has instituted great government incentives to raise families , Hungarian Families to solidify a solid backbone of culture and respect in their nation !
Why not appoint a openly gay drag queen satan worshiper as ambassador to the Vatican!
Once again WASHINGTON DC displays the fact that if GOD decided to give the US an enema DC is where he would stick the hose riding the nation of all the two legged impacted piles of shit
Beautifully said. Agree 100%. Saved me he time of posting. Thanks.
Well that’s just not true. Most American citizens desire exactly what the government, and its media proxies, tell them to desire.
Hungary is doing what it has always done throughout European history since the 9th/10th centuries i.e.defending Christianity from Islamic conquest. Without Hungary, Austria and Poland, there would be no ‘West’, which is being surrendered by leftist fascists even now.
Shortly after Jan 6th, 2021, a liberal buddy of mine had a meltdown when I told him the election was rigged. He starting saying things like: “I’d like to think we have honest elections.” or “I’d like to think we’re (America) the good guys”. I’m like “dude – whenever you say ‘I’d like to think’, the next words out of your mouth are going to be something that’s not true.”
Those pesky democrat faggots !
If they aint stealing luggage ……their turning entire countries against merca.
You blithering Johnny One-Note. Really? GOP are saintly opposition, not venal, collaborative RINOs? McConnell’s your boy, is he? Gosh, you’re a shrill, perennial idjit.
Pressmen and his gay husband should be hung from the nearest tree. I am happy to see Hungry fighting for the freedom from tyranny. Poland was doing the same. But, now it appears they gave into the Globalists.
Poland is now receiving natural gas from Norway from a new pipe line that just started pumping from Norway to Poland shortly after Norway & Denmark assisted the US IN BLOWING UP THE 3 Russian pipelines!
Funny how this quagmire twists and turns
And tranny’s.
Why are almost all Jewish men “gay”?
When peoples lives are absent of love, gods love, they will do almost anything. Including, pretend that they have love.
fascinating and gross how the USSA Staat Dept can’t help but insult Hungary and HUngarians.
Maybe Staat can send similarly arranged ambassador and family (two fags with children) to Saudi Arabia and other Muslim nations. Auntie is sure the “message” sent would be clear as gin.
I visited Hungary a few years. Those people love Victor Orban. He doesn’t put up with any shit, which also makes him my kind of guy.
At the time (5 years ago), they also loved Americans. I’m not sure they love us so much any more.
Zsa Zsa would be proud.
What’s going on in New Jersey?
Second Republican New Jersey Lawmaker Shot Dead Within a Week
The pair of killings come as Democrats have sought to blame their enemies for fomenting “political violence” against their party members. In his State of the Union address, President Joe Biden attributed the brutal assault of Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s (D., Calif.) husband, Paul Pelosi, to the actions of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot…
Heller was killed less than 15 miles from where Dwumfour was found dead in her SUV with multiple gunshot wounds. Her killer is still at large. New Jersey governor Phil Murphy (D.) attributed both deaths to “gun violence.”
The CIA has basically destroyed any relationship that America needed to court favor. Instead of helping a country step into the 21st Century, our CIA gave many countries an ultimatum they couldn’t refuse. Either do it our way or face the consequences.
I am very pleased that Hungary had the wherewithal to push back and tell our ambassador that he basically has no say. IE: STFU, or go home !!!
PERIOD !
I’m familiar with Obama’s Hungarian ambassador Colleen Bell, beginning with an article which appeared in the once conservative publication NewsMax. In the article, which clearly praised Bell’s efforts to meddle in Hungarian educational, political and social affairs, I learned that NewsMax wasn’t the publication I thought is was. The most egregious tip off was its support of the Muslim migrant invasion of Europe that Hungary was bravely trying to halt at its borders. It was also apparent that Bell was particularly obnoxious in her condescending attitude toward the present government’s defense of Hungarian sovereignty. Bell resigned the moment Trump became president, rather than being unceremoniously booted. As a response, I was prompted to send NewsMax publisher Ruddy a letter of cancellation and a strongly worded condemnation of his publication.
As an American, I can assure Hungary the present degenerate US ambassador to Hungary, Pressman, in no way reflects the overwhelming moral beliefs and values of the American people. What perversions the DC and academia fascists are trying to impose on America is being regurgitated back at them whenever possible. They think they will conquer this country by allowing it to be invaded – they will not win. Long live the sovereign nation of Hungary and that US majority that supports it.
I am just sick and embarrassed at the behavior of our government on the the world stage.
Yeah, I’m on Russia’s side in this shit.
You’ll never see the Biden administration post the likes of a Pressman as ambassador to a Muslim country like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Yemen, et al – but for such a degenerate regime, it’s quite OK to insult Christian countries like Hungary, Poland, et al with such amoral, ostentatiously flagrant and flaunting types as Pressman.
The loos hate Christians more than muzzies. Saudi’s are crypto “” anyway.
“…AND his HUSBAND” ? !
We’re being presented around the world as a Nation of dick sucking faggots.
Anyone besides me have a problem with that?
I wouldn’t have responded to that American ambassador in such a nice way. They should of expelled him for disrespecting their country. The US used to be, or seemed to be, a huge force for good in the world. But now it is obvious the opposite is true. Perhaps it always was.
So, which “families” bought the US gov’t? Dollars to doughnuts says it’s the SAME SIX families out of THAT Brooklyn neighborhood, with TWO “citizenships”…
send the bastard home
The Biden administration is an embarrassment; across the board in every dimension.
I hope the Hungarians understand that these obnoxious freaks of nature do not represent American values. They are agents of Satan.
