Dear Peter, 

 

Thanks a lot. I am very glad that both you and your son got involved in the translation of my letter to Ambassador Fegyir. This is how the Hungarian Lobby is intended to operate like a voice amplifier.

 

Could you clarify what appeared in The Atlantic by Ms. Applebaum? I did not see it.

 

By copy of this letter I am also asking my son, the same question.

 

Best regards, Béla Lipták

Just read H-L 1624 and, as always, thank you for your writings and observations.  On March 8 I began translating into English your letter to Ambassador Fegyir (to circulate to non-Magyar members of my family)…at which point my son Stephen pulled out his iPhone and within minutes (literally!)  fed your letter and the excellent Turul madár, Turul-szobor és Turul Dinasztia essays (Magyar versions) into four different AI-trained translators (ChatGBT…satöbbi…satöbbi…).  By the time I received my four versions in English, I also noticed the hyperlink with your Hungarian original, offering a fifth English translation !  So the world changes…Thank you again.  (I’m sending the attached just in case you haven’t seen the most recent issue of The Atlantic). Best wishes és Viszontlátásra.  Peter Janos (Kurz).
