Analysts Expects Double-Digit Hungarian GDP Growth for the Third Quarter

The second wave of the coronavirus pandemic and the related restrictions have led most economists to now expect a W-shaped recovery. Although this means that a second drop is coming, at least Hungary’s economic recovery could be better than expected in the third quarter, conservative daily Magyar Nemzet writes.

ING Bank macroeconomic analysts recently upgraded their growth expectations for the third quarter to 10.5 percent, while for the same period, TakarékBank expects an 11.4 percent quarter-over-quarter growth. At the same time, Ágnes Halasz, an analyst at UniCredit Bank, has outstandingly optimistic expectations of as high as 15.7 percent. All three, however, acknowledge the upturn will be short-lived.

This offers some encouragement, especially since in the second quarter, economic performance was down 13.6 percent year-over-year.

U.S. Stocks Surge to Close the Week, With S&P 500 at Record High

U.S. stock indexes closed sharply higher Friday, notching a pair of fresh records, as Wall Street wrapped up a week framed by optimism over the prospects of vaccines and treatments for COVID-19 and yet gloom over a spike in the viral outbreak in the U.S. and Europe.

Markets also remain sensitive to talk of the possibility of another fiscal aid package that could help workers and businesses, despite a lack of political momentum to achieve a pact in the aftermath of a contentious U.S. presidential election.

How did stock benchmarks perform?

The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.37% closed up 399.64 points, or 1.4%, to reach 29,479.81, and briefly traded higher than its Feb. 12 closing record at 29,551.42.

Meanwhile, the S&P 500 index SPX, +1.36% gained 48.14 points to close at 3,585.15, for a gain of 1.4%, a fresh record. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, +1.02% NQZ20, +1.06% climbed 119.70 points, a gain of 1%, ending at 11,829.29.

“Inject Me Now”: Concertgoers Demand Mandatory Vaccination So They’re Allowed to See Live Music Again

Although Ticketmaster denied it had come to a final decision on whether to mandate a vaccine certification to allow people to buy tickets, many expressed their agreement with the idea, with one commenting, “Inject me now.”

A report in Billboard magazine claimed that the ticketing company would mandate customers to prove they’d had a negative COVID test or had taken the vaccine before their purchase was approved.

The news arrived shortly after it was announced that drug company Pfizer had developed a coronavirus vaccine with a 90% success rate.

Arrogant Partying of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris Will Soon Stop

Attorney David Evans is just one of the attorneys who volunteered to observe and be a poll watcher for Trump in Detroit. While there he saw massive fraud on several levels. He found dozens of Republican poll watchers denied entrance to a very large vote counting room. He reported suspiciously dressed police surrounding this room, all in different uniforms and without proper ID. They were armed and intimidating to the poll watchers wanting in to do their jobs.

Evans also said that most conservative poll watchers were kept outside in the parking lot and given many bogus reasons for them being kept outside. There was already cardboard covering most of the windows.

In one ballot counting room there was only one DEM ballot counter and no one else there to watch at all. He also saw in the middle of the night what looked like a bunch of college kids surrounding one of the only conservative poll watchers in the large room and intimidating him.

After approaching the ‘mystery police’ and anyone pretending to be in charge, some of the conservative poll watchers and challengers were allowed into one small area that was behind a tall counter so they couldn’t see anything. It was all a game and the endless ballot counters continued to count mystery ballots.

Bill Barr is About to Drop the Hammer on Vote Fraud

In the matter of the Great Election Theft of 2020, the conspiracy is much, much bigger than what the Durham investigation uncovered, and it’s ultimate object — the theft of the presidency by voter fraud — needed to play out to fruition, which was technically today, Nov, 12, the last day (in North Carolina) of late vote counting of all the Democratic vote-by-mail counting extensions.

Today the conspiratorial effort — the crime itself — is complete as to the evidence of voter fraud in all of its myriad forms. There is certainly evidence still uncovered, but all the actors have played their parts, the crime is done, and it’s just a matter of tying the case together in one package. There will be additional crimes related to the inevitable cover-up and damage control efforts of individual conspirators, but as of now, the waiting game is over for the Justice Department.

Bio-Cleaning Business Targeted in Political Attack by Antifa in Portland

Last night, a group of Antifa extremists vandalized a bio-cleaning business in Portland as part of a string of targeted attacks on property since Election Day.

At 8 p.m. on Thursday night, a couple dozen Antifa dressed in black bloc gathered at Colonel Summers Park in southeast Portland. The planned “direct action” was announced via a digital flyer on social media.

From there, they marched to the office of Rapid Response Bio Clean, a business that contracts with the city of Portland to clean biohazardous material from public spaces. Part of its contract includes removing and cleaning homeless encampments.

Shielding themselves with black umbrellas, Antifa proceeded to disable the building’s security cameras with spray paint and smash its windows. They wrote, “Sweeps kill” and “ACAB” (all cops are bastards) on the property.

California Set to Reopen Strip Clubs Before Churches

A California judge ordered San Diego to reopen strip clubs even as local officials crack down on churches.

San Diego Superior Court judge Joel R. Wohlfeil ordered the state to end any actions that prevent the clubs from “being allowed to provide live adult entertainment,” according to the decision. The owners of two strip clubs argued that their business is legally protected speech guaranteed by the First Amendment—the same argument that churches have been making about their own services.

The judge’s decision is not final as that in a full hearing, which will occur at the end of the month, but it temporarily allows the strip clubs to reopen for indoor services, as other institutions close. In their legal complaint, strip-club owners argued they have complied with social distancing requirements. They also warned that another shutdown would mean financial ruin. The judge temporarily sided with them.

Religious-liberty advocates said that the case could pave the way for lifting coronavirus restrictions against churches.

Caroline Glick: The 2020 Election Has Been Terrible for the Jews

No matter who ultimately wins the presidential election, the Jews in America are the big losers. As Professor Ruth Wisse of Harvard has long explained, Jews are the bellwether for the health of democracies. Hatred of Jews rises in societies whose democratic institutions and values are in crisis. Jew-hatred is generally low in healthy, working democracies.

If we learned nothing else from the election campaign and its aftermath, we learned American democracy is in crisis.

The media is the first force responsible for this crisis. For the past four years, all major U.S. television networks and national newspapers have dedicated themselves not to reporting news, but to defining the boundaries of acceptable public discourse. Big Tech firms—Facebook, Google and Twitter, in particular, having amassed powers the KGB could only have dreamed of—serve as the enforcers of those boundaries.

The goal of all media corporations has been the same: to overturn the results of the 2016 election. To advance this goal, the media have demonized President Donald Trump and his supporters for four straight years. The shared conviction has been that by subjecting the public to continuous indoctrination to hate Trump and his supporters, Trump would disappear from the White House, whether through a prolonged special counsel probe, impeachment or defeat at the polls.

Nearly all the stories about Trump and his supporters have been negative for the past four years. Consequently, while most Americans never heard that Trump conceived and implemented an entirely new foreign policy doctrine that has met more success than any adopted since the end of the Cold War, all Americans know that the media expect them to believe Trump is a racist. They know that the media expect right-thinking Americans to hate Trump and his supporters, and admire his opponents, from Nancy Pelosi to Black Lives Matter (BLM)…

CNN Host Compares Trump’s Presidency to Nazi Purge of Jews

CNN’s anti-Trump derangement propaganda reached new heights Thursday, with a segment in which Chief International Anchor Christiane Amanpour directly compared the President’s first term with an infamous Nazi crackdown operation.

Amanpour announced that she was remembering Kristallnacht (“Night of Broken Glass”) a 1938 Nazi effort to purge the Fascist German nation of Jewish culture.

“This week, 82 years ago, Kristallnacht happened; it was the Nazis’ warning shot across the bow of our human civilization that led to genocide against a whole identity,” Amanpour declared, before stating that Trump’s presidency is the modern day equivalent.

Data Scientists Expose Algorithm Used to Steal Trump Votes in Michigan’s GOP Precincts

A group of computer scientists led by Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai, an MIT-educated Fulbright Scholar, presented what appeared to be a cut-and-dry case of systemic fraud that stemmed from the voting software used in several Michigan counties.

The discrepancies in three counties alone may have been more than enough to explain a suspicious jump of nearly 130,000 votes in the wee hours of the morning after the Nov. 3 election.

According to the scientists, 69,000 votes in the counties appeared to have been taken from President Donald Trump and given to Democrat candidate Joe Biden-a net gain of 138,000 votes for Biden, whose current projected lead in the state is just over 146,000.

Joe Biden Says Pope Francis Offered Him ‘Blessings and Congratulations’

National Election Fraud: Evidence of National Chicanery During America’s 2020 Presidential Election

Regardless of where one falls politically, the sanctity of the vote is a bedrock of a functioning representative democracy. Voters have to believe their vote matters. And that the vote is free, fair, and accurate. The basic facts of the 2020 American Presidential election are concerning because mounting evidence indicates there’s been a concerted effort by state Democratic Parties to flip the election from President Donald Trump to former Vice President Joe Biden in a number of key swing states with the help of notoriously corrupt Democratic Party machines in at least five American cities — Detroit, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, and Atlanta. Here are the basic facts of the case: On Election Night when America went to bed, President Trump had a commanding lead in virtually every swing state, as well as Virginia, which no one expected him to win. However, when America woke up the next day, we found that he’d lost these leads, largely on the basis of mail-in ballots found in the middle of the night and out from under the watchful eye of legal election monitors.

Virginia Imam: There is ‘Freedom of Expression to Insult the Prophet, But No Freedom of Expression to Insult Macron’

Brazen lies and victimology of the kind Elsayed offers here are generally accepted by Leftists, who are easily duped by those who resort to identity politics, especially stealth jihadists.

Elsayed claim that “Many Christians, Jews want to turn Muslims back to being infidels like them” is based on the Qur’an: “And never will the Jews or the Christians approve of you until you follow their religion. Say, ‘Indeed, the guidance of Allah is the guidance.’ If you were to follow their desires after what has come to you of knowledge, you would have against Allah no protector or helper.” (Qur’an 2:120)

Regarding Elsayed’s claim that there is freedom of expression to insult Muhammad, but not Macron, it is hard to believe that Elsayed actually believes his own words, but just in case he does, these are generally the rules of free societies:

1. People are allowed to offend others, and those who are offended are allowed to be angry.

2. Those who are angry are not allowed to behave like barbarians and threaten the life of the offender, much less murder the offender (as in the case of French teacher Samuel Paty). Nor are they allowed to create public disturbances.

3. Christianity has been insulted innumerable times in the West. This has not led to violence or even to massive protests, threats, and demands that the insults be criminalized.

4. No one wants to turn Muslims into “infidels.” It is Islamic supremacists who call Jews and Christians “infidels,” kaffirs, and see them as inferiors. In fact, Islam is the only religion that sanctions murdering people for leaving the religion, as well as for being heretics (such as the Ahmadis.

Amplification over 35 cycles is considered unreliable and scientifically unjustified, yet many labs use 45 cycles. This amplifies any tiny sequence of viral DNA that might be present to the point that the test reads “positive” even if the viral load is extremely low or the virus is inactive

The PCR test can also pick up the presence of other coronaviruses, so a positive result may simply indicate that you’ve recuperated from a common cold in the past

Millions of people are simply carrying inactive viral DNA that pose no risk to anyone, yet positive test results are being used by the global technocracy to implement a brand new economic and social system based on draconian surveillance and totalitarian controls

Research shows the global lockdown strategy harms public health to a greater degree than the virus itself

[Comment: For globalists, testing is not a waste. All those false positives are being used as justification for continual lockdown.]

Austrian Court Gives Facebook Impossible Order to Remove “Defamatory” “Hate Speech” Globally

The Supreme Court of Austria has denied Facebook’s appeal on a “hate speech” removal case, ruling that the social media company should remove all defamatory comments originating from a post made about a local politician — and not just in the country, but globally.

The court’s decision follows a ruling by the EU’s Court of Justice (CJEU) that said social platforms can be forced to take down content on a global scale.

Eva Glawischnig, a member of the Green Party, sued Facebook in 2016 for allowing a defamatory post. Facebook had denied her request to remove the post, which called her a “corrupt tramp,” “lousy traitor,” and a member of the “fascist party.”

Belgium Has Expelled Five Danish Far-Right Activists

Belgium has expelled five Danish far-right activists and banned them for a year over their plans to burn a Koran in a mainly-Muslim area of Brussels.

Secretary of State for Asylum Sammy Mahdi called them “a serious threat to public order”.

According to their Facebook page, the five are associates of the Danish far-right politician Rasmus Paludan.

Paludan was expelled from France on Wednesday after signalling his intention to burn a Koran in Paris.

Earlier this year, he was jailed for a month in Denmark for a string of offences including posting anti-Islam videos on the social media channels of his Stram Kurs (Hard Line) party.

Boris’s Girlfriend Vetoes Aide — Yoko Has Taken Charge of the Band

Yoko Ono has taken charge of the band.

All right, the analogy doesn’t quite work. For one thing, Carrie Symonds — currently occupying the role of Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s official girlfriend — hasn’t got nearly Yoko’s delicate charm, talent or lightness of touch. And for another, Boris Johnson’s administration definitely isn’t the Beatles: it’s Kajagoogoo, at a push; more plausibly, it’s Keith Harris and Orville or the St Winnifred’s School Choir.

But it does at least go some way towards capturing the bizarre outrageousness of the coup which has allegedly taken place within Johnson’s crumbling, chaotic regime. His fiancee Carrie, whom no one elected — nor would they because she’s about as left-wing as they come — appears to have taken charge of government appointments.

Prime Minister Andrej Babis considers it important to improve trade relations between the United States and the European Union; he also sees great opportunity for scientific cooperation. According to the prime minister, Czechia is ready to cooperate with the USA and Canada on the development and operation of new environmentally friendly technologies. Babis stated this in a paper at the online conference Challenges for Transatlantic Relations, organized by the Institute for Politics and Society.

Like European Commission Vice-President Vera Jourova, he believes that the United States and an administration under President-elect Joe Biden will return to implementing the Paris climate agreement.

Last week, negotiators for the European Parliament and the German EU presidency worked out an agreement concerning a mechanism that would tie access to EU funds to a rule of law conditionality. This agreement has been strongly criticized by the Polish and Hungarian governments.

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki stated on social media that he had sent a letter to President of the Council of the European Union Charles Michel, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. In this document, the PM said he outlined the criticisms concerning the association of EU funds with the rule of law mechanism.

The attacker had been convicted of terrorism in the past. Counterintelligence knew he was in contact with radicals in Vienna and that he had tried to buy ammunition in Bratislava, too.

UK: Law Commission Would Make Mohammed Cartoons Illegal

The Law Commission has published a 533-page consultation on reforming “hate crime and hate speech laws”. The new bill it wants to bring before the House of Commons is, according to the Free Speech Union, “tantamount to an Anti-Free Speech Bill which is an all-out attack on freedom of expression”. Andrew Tettenborn, Professor of Law at Swansea University, describes the Commission’s proposals as “the Scottish Hate Crime Bill on steroids”.

The commission suggests that “inflammatory cartoons” should not be covered by our right to free speech. The Commission writes: “Several recent incidents involving inflammatory images create grounds for concern… These include Islamophobic cartoons…” The Commission is concerned that, as the law stands, a person who sent another person an “inflammatory cartoon” can only be prosecuted under section 127(1) of the Communications Act 2003. It then goes on to complain: “However, this does not carry the same gravity or labelling as the stirring up offences. It does not reflect the fundamental harm involved, which is not that it is offensive, but that it incites hatred. “

As Macron stands up to the Islamists’ terror, the Law Commission wants to surrender to their agenda.

Retiring Diplomat Says Defense Officials Misled Trump on Troop Count in Syria

WASHINGTON — US defense officials routinely misled President Trump into believing the American troop count in Syria was a lot lower than it actually is, a retiring US diplomat said in a bombshell interview this week.

“We were always playing shell games to not make clear to our leadership how many troops we had there,” James Jeffrey, US special representative for Syria engagement, said in an interview with Defense One.

In October 2019, Trump ordered the withdrawal of US troops from northern Syria — a decision controversial among lawmakers, defense officials and diplomats.

Pentagon officials convinced the president to leave approximately 200 troops behind to protect oil fields in the country’s east that were at risk of falling under ISIS control, Jeffrey said.

However, the real number of troops in northeast Syria is “a lot more than” the 200 Trump agreed to leave behind, Jeffrey said, with some officials putting the number as high as 900.

All free people need to stand with India in defense of the civilizations we have built and the understandings of human rights that we have formulated and share. These principles are essentially universal outside the realm of Sharia, and are worth defending, lest darkness descend upon the world entire.

But the lights still shine against that darkness. Happy Diwali!

“Great Reset” Of Capitalism a Threat to Our Way of Life: Australian Senator

Authored by Caden Pearsen via The Epoch Times

A motion by One Nation leader Pauline Hanson calling on the Australian government to boycott the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Great Reset agenda was blocked in the Senate on Nov. 11.

Powerful international leaders want to take advantage of the current economic chaos to “remake nations across the planet, because desperate populations are now ‘more reception to big visions of change,’“ Justin Haskins, the editor-in-chief of StoppingSocialism.com and the editorial director of The Heartland Institute, wrote in an op-ed for The Epoch Times in July.

Hanson said the policies of the Great Reset would destroy Australia’s economy, “push socialist and neo-Marxist policies” onto Australians, and “pave the way for big controlling government, suppression of free speech, and reduced property rights.”

Muslims in US Want Biden to Change Refugee Limits to Allow More Migrants Into the Country

Remember this the next time you read a weepy piece, especially one in the Los Angeles Times quoting Hamas-linked CAIR’s Hussam Ayloush, about America’s allegedly rampant “racism” and “Islamophobia.” And such articles are as sure to come as a Biden tax increase (if he does indeed become President). But if America is so terrible, why do so many people want to come here?

In any case, this demand has teeth. Antisemitic activist Linda Sarsour has said: “I choose Biden. But I choose him as my opponent in the White House. I want him to defeat Trump so we can mobilize our movements to hold him accountable and push him to do and be better. We can’t do that with Trump.” In other words, she is keeping Biden on a short leash, and if he doesn’t come across with what she and her allies want, he will not enjoy their support for long.

At least 74 migrants have died after the ship carrying them was wrecked off the coast of Libya, the UN says.

Libya has been a major transit point for migrants from many countries trying to reach Europe via the Mediterranean.

The IOM says at least 900 people have drowned on this route this year, with another 11,000 returned to Libya, where it says they face detention and abuse.

Private conversations involving “hate speech” against these protected groups could mean one year in jail, while public hate speech has a maximum sentence of three years.

  2. “Tony Blair Rejoices: Joe Biden Can Unite the World”

    He can also rouse the dead, and make them each vote sixty times for the same candidate. A true miracle worker!

  3. As a carpenter who must know the stability of the ground that the building will be built on, I have had an avid interest in geology (gee!-ology when something new is discovered). The earthquake in Mina, Nevada is a gee!-ological event as it occurred in the same general area as the Searles Valley 7.2 quake on July 4th last year. My wife and I were staying the the San Diego Downtown Hilton which is a 24 story concrete domino tile stood straight up. Though we were on the ground floor having breakfast the housekeeping crew were on the 22nd floor cleaning our room. They were ashen-faced as they said that the building was swaying and they thought the building would fall. If the quake had been a 7.5 or greater the building probably would have owning to its 1960s design. Later that afternoon I am driving south on S.R. 83, Euclid Avenue in Ontario, CA and while sitting at the stop light I feel the ground undulating like some rock ‘n roll dance. Later, I find out that it was a 7.4 ‘aftershock’ of the quake earlier in the morning.
    Here is where it gets scary. If you look at a topographical map of the Western United States you will notice (https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/?extent=7.9722,-140.71289&extent=59.88894,-49.21875&baseLayer=satellite) that the area east of the Sierra Nevada Mountains continues to be consistently similar all the way to the Gulf of California as though the state of California and Baja California was a geological afterthought. That an earthquake nearly 200 miles north of San Diego could be felt as though it was a local quake through at least two mountain ranges would infer that the line between the Gulf of California, Searles Valley, and Mina, Nevada is the actual crustal boundary and if this seismic activity continues could render the entire West Coast of the United States a separate island, not that we aren’t already a separate ‘island’ as it were. So never mind Sam Andreas. He may have his faults but they are nothing compared to this one. Oh, and BTW, Death Valley is actually an Inland Caldera with sharp pointy quartz crystals underneath all of that sand. June Lake is a caldera on the scale of Yellowstone Lake. So if you want to know what’s shakin’ just tune in to USGS.gov. The Lord said that there would be earthquakes in divers places, (and places only divers could get to).

    • Glad you both survived, but it’s hardly a secret that because of plate tectonics (prevously dubbed “continental drift”), the Americas have been moving west for a very long time; looking at a map, one can see how eastern South America and western Africa would fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Trouble is, volcanic soil is fertile, so people have congregated around fault lines for many millenia.

  4. Not sure if anyone else posted this, but I see that our friend Rasmus was deported from France for violating Sharia law and attempting to burn a demonic Koran.

    It angers me to no end that the most vile criminals including murderers, rapists, looters, pedophiles, et al are given aid, comfort and shelter by the European nations like France and UK while freedom fighters like Rasmus are persecuted.

    The West is in a death spiral.

    • More like death of a thousand cuts. Still it is death nonetheless. The cost of being complete ashmoles.
