Naturally, Everyone Ignores the Birdemic in the Room

7/11/2021

I must say that it has been rather amusing - in a bad way - to see American Conservative extraordinaire, Rod Dreher, trumpet the virtues of the current Hungarian prime minister concerning the latter's legislative initiative to shield Hungarian children from the pernicious propaganda that QWERTY people and their supporters enable and endorse. 

Of course, the Hungarian government's move is, in and of itself, Good. Likewise, Dreher's lauding of the Hungarian legal measure is also, in and of itself, Good. 

Here's the problem. As Good as the Hungarian legislation and Dreher's support of it are, neither can be considered on an "in and of itself" basis. 

Other things need to be considered, with the birdemic being foremost among them. 

Let's break it down: Dreher is currently defending and celebrating an individual who displayed absolutely no qualms about surrendering to the birdemic; an individual who tyrannically suspended the rights of the citizens he apparently represents; an individual who locked down the entire country not once, but twice; an individual who psychologically tortured and terrorized an entire nation via a relentless fear campaign; an individual who manipulated more than half of the country's population to voluntarily accept experimental, unproven pecks; an individual who openly discriminated against citizens who refused to get with his program; an individual who appears more than ready to continue doing the same and worse should such conditions manifest in the near future. And this individual has done all of this under the guise of Christian leadership.

And Dreher is defending said individual against other individuals and groups - mainly EU technocrats, politics, and their allied associations - all of whom are guilty of the exact same draconian tyranny the Hungarian prime minister has exhibited. 

In all the controversy of "these rights" and "those rights", no mention is ever made of the personal rights and freedoms Hungary and the EU gleefully and sadistically trampled upon and continue to trample upon under the justification of the still unacknowledged and officially denied birdemic coup of 2020.

Of course, we shouldn't expect anything better from a man like Dreher. After all, he publicly capitulated to the birdemic very early on and remains subservient to the global totalitarian takeover to this day. All under the guise of being a respectable Christian. 

So good for the Hungarian PM for standing up to the globohomo machinations of the Establishment and good for Dreher for all the cheer-leading about the PM standing up to wokism or whatever. 

Unfortunately, neither of these "goods" put the Hungarian PM or Dreher on the side of Good, for that would necessitate acknowledging the birdemic in the room. 

And neither appears willing to do that. Not now. Not ever. 

You can't proclaim the virtues of not living by lies if you choose to live by the Biggest Lie the world has ever experienced. 

You just can't. 

Sorry. 

Note added: My criticism of the two individuals mentioned in the post is not based on my assessment of their apparent sins, but rather on my assessment of their chosen side. The actions and communications both men have displayed in connection with the birdemic reveal that they are - actively and willingly - on the the side that opposes God and Creation.

I read Dreher for a few years but concluded that he is not an honest actor. He's neurotic and pompous for one (not capital crimes I admit). He was a big neocon supporter and consistently shilled the 9/11 and subsequent war on terror mainstream official narrative. Everything he's said and done seems calculated to divide and distract orthodox (small d) Christians. Now he neurotically shills the birdemic. I can only judge his actions - they do not impress. Consequently I suspect his motives.

@ Mark - "I suspect his motives."

Yes, motives are key. Discerning motivation has never been more important.

Suspect motives - and that's being generous - are prevalent in nearly all of Dreher's writings. Oddly enough, I have lost quite a few "friends" by simply drawing attention to that.

Quite so - and this shows how failure on any of the litmus test issues invalidates any other correct choices.

Discussing micro-issues of specific policies, when the whole apparatus of governance has been brought under evil totalitarian control, is nonsense. Good laws will neither be applied nor enforced by evil states.

@ Bruce - "failure on any of the litmus test issues invalidates any other correct choices."

Spot on because that is *the* elephant in the room, so to speak.

By contrast, I was pleased to see David McLoone's 8 July LifeSiteNews article, "Hungary rebukes EU demand to change anti-pedophilia law", ends with this paragraph:

Meanwhile, Orbán has been pushing the COVID-19 vaccine scheme in Hungary, extending the program to 12–16-year-olds in June. The prime minister also promised that those who had taken their first shot of the vaccine, but missed the second, would have all privileges associated with vaccinating stripped from them, and their COVID immunity certificate revoked.

@ David - Yes, that's right. I noted the same thing myself about a month ago.

"Ironically, the same concern for protecting children's welfare is utterly absent when it comes the birdemic and its peck. For example, the prime minister vocally supports the pecking of all children and has already encouraged hundreds of thousands of youngsters between the ages of 16-18 to receive the experimental gene therapy. The prime minister has publicly expressed that he would like to have children as young as twelve pecked in the future to ensure Hungary abides by the global diktat of none are safe until all are safe.

Can you - or anyone among the readers - recommend a handy, reliable overview of the deeds as well as the words of the other 15 parties which signed the 2 July "Joint Declaration on the Future of the European Union"?
