Brussels is creating an Orwellian nightmare world in front of our eyes. For instance, the bloc’s two unelected presidents and its 27 unelected commissioners (commissars) send weapons to Ukraine for ‘peace’ and censors for ‘freedom’. Orbán says the European Peace Facility (sic) has transferred billions in weapons to Ukrainian forces, prolonging the war and costing tens of thousands of Ukrainian lives.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán took to platform X (formerly Twitter) to point out what he says is the Orwellian world the European Union is creating, including promoting war via a facility meant for peace and attempting to curtail media as a form of freedom.

‘The EU in the worst sense of the word is very much the new USSR.’ Komsomol Pravda journalist Zahar Prilepin. ‘Why is the EU trying to recreate the USSR?’ The last President of the USSR, Mikhail Gorbachev.

‘Brussels is creating an Orwellian world in front of our eyes. They buy and supply weapons through the European Peace Facility. They want to control the media through the Media Freedom Act. We didn’t fight the communists to end up in 1984!’ Orbán is referring to the European Peace Facility, which is responsible for transferring billions in weapons to Ukrainian forces, a move that Orbán argues has only prolonged the war and cost thousands of Ukrainian lives.

‘One of the serious feelings associated with our time was the feeling of an absurdity when madness becomes more or less normal.’ ~ Sergey Dovlatov (ex-Gulag guard).

According to the European Peace Facility’s own website. On 26 June 2023, the Council adopted a decision to increase the overall financial ceiling of the European Peace Facility (EPF) by €4.061 billion (in current prices, or €3.5 billion in 2018 prices). The overall financial ceiling now totals more than €12 billion (in current prices).

On 20 March 2023, in a joint session gathering EU foreign affairs and defense ministers (Ministers of War), the Council agreed on the three-track proposal put forward by the High Representative and Commissioner Breton. This proposal outlines how to urgently provide Ukraine with artillery ammunition, either coming from existing stocks or jointly procured.’

Orbán is referring to specific terms developed by Orwell in his most famous novel, ‘1984,’ which describes how a fictional dystopian regime uses words to mislead the people into accepting the power of the party. Orwell wrote in 1984: ‘The Ministry of Truth… was startlingly different from any other object in sight. It was an enormous pyramidal structure of glittering white concrete, soaring up, terrace after terrace, 300 meters into the air. From where Winston stood it was just possible to read, picked out on its white face in elegant lettering, the three slogans of the Party: War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.’

A few lines further, Orwell described the different ministries, writing: ‘The Ministry of Truth, which concerned itself with news, entertainment, education, and the fine arts. The Ministry of Peace concerned itself with war. The Ministry of Love maintained law and order. And the Ministry of Plenty, which was responsible for economic affairs.’ Orwell described these terms as ‘doublethink,’ explaining the power of the concept to maintain influence and control:

HELP US TO SPEAK TO THE WORLD BY SHARING OUR STORIES ON SOCIAL MEDIA

‘To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to reject morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself.’

Regarding Orbán’s reference to the Media Freedom Act, which was just passed this week in Brussels, the law is expected to directly take on Hungary and Poland’s media markets. Orbán wrote on X that the act is another anti-freedom proposal from Brussels: establishing total control over the media.
