It is Over; And You Know It Is

"The battle between the global elite and the national resistance is not over. It is clear that the global elite is not resigning itself to allowing politics that goes against its interests to take root in Central Europe."
-Viktor Orbán, taken from an essay titled "Together We Will Succeed Again" published yesterday in the conservative daily Magyar Nemzet.

Compare the sentiment in the quote above with this photo from the Hungarian parliament yesterday.

I'll let you figure out the irony of the Hungarian-flag face mask symbolism on your own.

Suffice it to say, I'm certain the global elite are not worried in the slightest about politics going against its interests in Central Europe.

I think back to a long ago time, February 2020, when reports of Asian countries locking down their whole citizenry reached our "news" here in the U.S., and thought- wow, thank God I don't live there. How could they do that to their citizens?And how could their citizens be ok with that?

Yesterday I watched a news conference with a high ranking politician blathering on about the need to have the leftists' "voices heard", his voice muffled by a mask.

I caught a cold this week. A friend, with whom I have daily arguments about the global takeover, pointed out i caught the cold because i don't wear a mask. But wait, I said, if everyone else is wearing a mask and they are effective, then how can I be coughing and sniveling?

I could have never imagined that we would come to this point. Where not only did the citizenry not uprise, but that we welcomed it, chastised those who don't want it, and want more of it. I have a very vivid imagination about the evil in men's hearts and the stupidity if the populous, but this whole thing took me by surprise.

@ Coincidentally enough, I have caught a case of the sniffles as well.

This whole thing has caught nearly everyone by surprise. Unfortunately, I believe we are still only in the early innings of the game, which means the near future will probably offer all of us plenty of additional "surprises."

Maybe it's because I am experiencing the afterglow of a 5 day silent Ignatian retreat (in a retreat house/ parish that decided to ignore all the VirusRegime commandments) but I am no longer as worked up about The Crisis as I was earlier this year.

Nothing happens that does not conform to God's will, nor is there anything crooked that He cannot straighten. Perhaps the events of this year are a Romans 1-ish abandonment of the people to their sinful desires or, as St. Ignatius proposes, a state of desolation to show men what happens when they are left to their own natural powers. In either case, men (as individual moral agents) must discern whether to stay or correct course.

There have been clergy, scientists and politicians who have been resisting the tide but they are few in number. But by the light of their actions they inspire lively sentiments in others.

@ Ingemar - "men (as individual moral agents) must discern whether to stay or correct course."

That's it. That's the point I was making in this post. Orbán's sentiment about politics and nationalism struggling against the global elite is no longer congruent with the political actions the Hungarian government has recently taken. In this regard, he and his government must now discern whether to stay or correct course.

Politics aside, I have not lost hope. At the same time, sentiments must match actions, especially now. Any expressed "good" sentiment that is not supported by "right" action will undoubtedly cause more harm than good.
