Official publication of the Revolutionary Council of the otTO% 23 ENGLISH LANGUAGE EDITION OF «ITTVAKÖfcí 19 5*> VOL. IV. No. 4. SEPTEMBER 1978 HUNGÁRIA FREEDOM FIGHTER MOVEMENT CHINA ON THE MOVE ■i Editorial by PAPOSI-JOBB1 Chairman Hua Kuo-feng of the People’s Republic of China traveled to Europe last month. It is rare and unusual that the head of Red China travels outside the mainland. Howard K. Smith, a news commentator for the American Broadcasting Company, stated: “Chairman Hua’s trip is of the greatest importance...” We agree! It is important because the Prime Minister of China visited two European countries, Rumania and Yugoslavia, that are in relation with Hungarian history, namely that of Transylvania and South-Hungary. The great Chinese hero Mao Tse-tung traveled only to Moscow, once in 1949 and then again soon after the 1956 Hungarian Freedom Fight in 1957. Mr. Chou En-lai did most of the traveling and outside dealings for Mao, but now Chairman Hua fullfills both offices. He visited North Korea, China’s most loyal satellite. After Europe he will also stop in Teheran, the capital of Iran, where in November of 1943 Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin met to make plans to reshape the future of the world. China also made a major turn in foreign policy by concluding the long delayed Treaty of Peace and Friendship with Japan. Japan will supply China with much needed industrial and electronic equipment and knowhow, China thus becoming Japan’s biggest consumer. The U.S.A. will sell electronic listening devices that will be deployed on the China’s Russian border where one-third of the Soviet arm forces are preoccupied. Rumania will sell oil drilling hardware for Chinese oil in return and Yugoslavia will sell tractors to Peking. England and France will also trade more extensively with China by selling jet fighters and tanks respectively. Only Hungary is left out right now. Moscow is nervous about the Turanian brothers, China and Hungary's closer association which would prove to be more than Russia could take! This would be the opportunity for Kádár and Hua to really give Brezhnev something to worry about. In the next issue of the English language publication of the Hungarian Freedom Fighter Movement the FIGHTER we will expound on this more extensively. WE WERE By MÉN-APÓ WE ARE — WE WILL BE Mr. Major Tibor, the able editor of the “Szittyakürt,” the monthly Hungarian ethnic newspaper in the United States, wrote: “In the interim of the cruel persecution of the Magyar Transylvanians, the Rumanian scientific body organizes anew the nationalities’ bibliographical substance of the Romanian Socialist Peoples Republic not only with fiction, but also by publishing a score of such studies —inspite of the theories of Lenin —that reflect elements of one of the chief sources of the world-view of ethnic hatred, the historic -viewpoint of rank differentiation among people.” (Szittyakürt, Aug., 1978) The Rumanian “scientific” circles as others did before them and will do after them, jealously falsify history to maintain their present day occupation of Transylvania —part of the Carpathian region —an ancient Hungarian cultural base in Europe. One hundred years ago the Rumanians began their “scientific” campaign following the Austrians who earlier pledged to wipe out the Turanian consciousness in all of their Hungarian subjects. The Hungarians have forsaken their blood brothers in Asia and the Middle East during the last thousands years! The “defense of the West” became the slogan and the objective of many Christian Hungarian kings and governments. Hungary generously sacrificed life and material for the support of Western Christian cultural and scientific progress. She, however, was slowly forced into amnesia regarding her sense of national origin and history. Tragedy followed tragedy in the national life of the Magyars as they fell prey to Western political hypocracy, broken treaties and exploitation of the Hungarians custom of trust and hospitality. The Hungarian Academy of Sciences fell into a deep coma well over one hundred years ago inspite of periodical changes of governors and governments. This coma still persists today in Budapest and any effort towards imaginative, creative and daring investigation into the history, e.g. cultural and linguistic past, is labeled as “unscientific” and irrelavant. This is why Dr. Tibor Baráth wrote: “Perhaps those Hungarian scientists now residing outside of Hungary would do better to demonstrate their achievements on international levels and cease their squabbling, as a few have already done and have been searching for approval. The studies that fit into the new ancient history of the Magyars may deserve serious attention in all major Western languages since the key problem of the ancient history of the Western world is exactly the Magyar ancient history.” (A Magyar Őstörténet Tételeinek Üjabb Megvilágítása, Montreal, Jan. 9, 1977, pg. 12.) Fortunately, however, the rows of non-Hungarian scientists and researchers multiply all over the world to seek the truth above all and are able to put national jealousies and wishful thinking aside. One such creative and ambitious young scholar, an archeologists, Mr. Thor Conway of Sault Ste. Maries, Ontario, Canada, is willing to examine the past and present for what they are and personally grows in his Hungarophile scholarship. From such men will the Magyars of tomorrow inherit new strength and ambition. A human being with Turanian consciousness rejects with every spark of his intellect the Western philosophy of nihilism and its suggestions that old cultures, religions, customs, languages, and arts sooner or later will have to die out and disappear in exchange for a newer liberal one-world culture. This “world-view” is belittling, self-degrading and out-right suicidal. Even Nietzsche, the German nihilistic philosopher, admitted: “It is always the same world yet it is always different.” The Turanian Magyar always was, is and forever will be and continuously creates, produces and regenerates! From time to time the periodic changes and adjustments in the national life of the Scythians, Huns or Magyars always must represent only the revitalization and the rebirth of their inherent and natural necessity of continuum — because just as the Sun rose today so it will rise tomorrow! About these attitudes and dilemmas writes Professor András Zakar in the following study: Bollettino del Centro Camuno di Studi Preistorici - Vol. XVI - 1977 A LINK BETWEEN HISTORIC AND PREHISTORIC TIMES: THE SYMBOLIC WRITING SYSTEM András Zakar, Budapest, Hungary. As early as 1850, H.C. Rawlinson stated that the earliest cuneiform writings in Mesopotamia are in the Scythian language. Subsequent studies by scientists from various part of the world have demonstrated the relationship between the Sumerian and Ural-Altaic languages from the structural point of view. The problem of the Hungarian-Sumerian linguistic relationships is a difficult one because there is a considerable time lapse between the latest Sumerian writings and the earliest Hungarian text and there is not a continuous sequence of linguistic documents on which to base the phonetic and grammatical history. In hopes of overcoming these difficulties, certain statistical methods were recently developed; in particular, the one known as the «glottochronological method» developed by Hymes (1960), who published and discussed, (among other things), a 100-word ■ list for basing upon it evaluations of lexical relationships. My research in this field continues affing the same lines as these previous efforts. The procedure was as follows: first, the more distant languages of agglutinative character had been excluded, then, the similar diagnostic items of the basic vocabulary in the Uralic and Altaic languages were sought, paying special attention to rules regarding sound changes. Hymes 100-item-test list was used. In order to eliminate conformities due to chance, only those morphemes with the same meanings as basic vocabulary items were considered; when there are parallels both in morpheme and in meaning, between the Uralic and the Altaic languages, the probability that it is due to chance is slight. The tables constructed by this complex (polygonal) method, show a direct line from around 5,000 years ago to the present. After the publication of my paper on Sumerian-Ural-Altaic affinities in Current Anthropology, (1971), some scholars wanted to see the word list I used: I published it in Magyar Mult (1972a), and recently (1976a), a revised and completed version of my paper came out in Hungarian. In the last of the papers mentioned above, I presented the results of the glottochronological examination: there are 63 Supierian and 12 Akkadian words in the Hungarian language of today. After these necessary references to previous publications, I wish to present some further considerations. Prof. I.M. Diakonoff of Leningrad University, explored both the lexical and the grammatical structure of the Hurri and Urartu languages which contain a good deal of Sumerian elements. In the historical-geographical section of his book (1971) he outlined a horse riding people from the southern part of the Caucasus, the Subir (Su-bar-to). In the IVth millennium B.C. they practiced writing, mine working, metallurgy, smithery, draining, husbandry, glass making and town building techniques.
