National security head Laborc resigns in wake of spying scandal

Sandor Laborc on Monday resigned as head of the National Security Office (NBH), the Prime Minister’s Office told MTI in a statement.

PM Gordon Bajnai has accepted the resignation and Laborc will step down from his post on September 1, the statement added.

Explaining his decision, Laborc referred to “anomalies in the examination of the UD Zrt affair by the investigating authorities”.

The UD Zrt affair dates back to September 2008 when investigation was launched into UD, whose staff consisted mainly of former police and national security officers, for alleged spying against politicians.

In addition, spyware was found on the computers of NBH and police suspected of installing the spyware in order to discover if security services were monitoring its activities.

The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) launched an investigation against unidentified perpetrators on suspicion of unauthorised access to private information, breach of state secrets and breaking into state computer systems.

During the investigation the NBI discovered evidence supporting the suspicion of abuse of military products and services, abuse of office and personal data among other charges.

In June this year, the investigation was terminated.

Laborc’s appointment in December 2007 was strongly criticised by the opposition on the ground that he was trained in KGB’s Dzerzhinsky Academy for six years in the 1980s when Hungary was part of the Soviet bloc.

Laborc will be replaced by Laszlo Balajti, currently director of the National Security Services.

    Obviously with that KGB-background Laborc will now become yet another of Jobbik’s Vice Presidents, with special responsibility for Security and Military issues.

    Viking,
    Had I not known what a fruitcake you are I’d actually respond in detail to this comment of yours.
    Laborcz and Jobbik. Do you just simply pull these loonie theories out of a hat?
    Saturday Night Live would be a proper, invigorating and empowering spiget to drain off such lunacies of yours.
    My Goodness my friend, get a coolaid! You need it desperately.

  3. Viking says:

    No beju,
    You know as well as me that Jobbik loves Putin’s Russia. A Russia ruled by the surviving Checka, being old KGB.
    If you can love an old KGB-boss like Putin because in the power struggle in Russia the last 10 years he whipped the asses of his most well-founded opponents.
    That your hated Jews are still in important positions in Moscow, just shows that Putin never ‘cleaned out the Jews’. He just eliminated the opposition and blamed the ‘Jews’.
    Nothing new here, but the old KGB learned from their predecessors some generations back – The Russian Czar’s Secret Police.
    In Hungary only ‘liberal’ Fidesz has a problem with Laborc’s training in KGB’s Dzerzhinsky Academy for six years in the 1980s.
    In Jobbik this must be a plus, who can now the Jobbik Masters better than Laborc?

    Viking,
    I like conspiracy theories no less than the next guy, but here’s where I think your concept fails the test.
    Putin as an ex KGB operative knew and knows better than anyone else what Mossad and Israel’s agencies are capable of and had done to Russia’s detriment. Putin got rid of them.
    Putin reined in the jewish oligarchs like the Yukos chief and the others. The Jews do not rule Russia anymore. Who are left are useful footsoldiers to him.
    Whereas they do still rule Hungary.
    If Jobbik seek guidance and help from Putin, whose unfortunate country suffered from them for the better part of the last 90 years can be of any help, more power to Jobbik.
    Russia is not the Soviet Union. You’ve probably missed a few decades in your conclusions.

  5. Viking says:

    beju,
    If you kept tabs on the development in today’s Russia, you would know that Stalin and much about the old Soviet-union is being rehabilitated. You hardly claim that Stalin was a Jew, also?
    For many Russians today, Soviet-union was something good. That does not work with your theory of the Soviet-union being ruled by the Jews.
    You seem to have missed some decades of the Russian Empire, the ones that belongs to the Soviet-union.
    Maybe you should stay with claiming that Man has never set his foot on the Moon?

    Viking,
    The Soviet Union was established by Jews. Every one of their leaders were of Jewish origin. Look into it.
    Stalin himself was half Jewish. Look into it.
    Marxism as the Jewish theory of grabbing and retaining power was manifested politically by the Soviet Union at its birth.
    All commissars were Jewish committing unspeakable atrocities during their reign.
    All commissars of the 1919 Bela Kun vermin insurgency in Hungary were Jewish.
    Every one of them.
    The reason the Soviet Union distanced itself from the Jews was the rift caused by Israel’s birth.
    From Khruschev on, the Soviet leadership realized that Israel is a staunch ally of the US hence supported the opposing Arabs.
    It doesn’t take away from the fact that communism was a Jewish invention.
    By that time the Jews established power bases in the US, so they didn’t need an obsolete, dull, drab country for their survival and advancement.
    If you haven’t noticed that, you’re terminally misguided.

  7. Viking says:

    beju,
    “Stalin himself was half Jewish”
    Source please.
    Stalin was know already in early years to be anti-Jewish.
    —-
    “The reason the Soviet Union distanced itself from the Jews was the rift caused by Israel’s birth”
    Totally goes against your statement in an earlier post that Russia was controlled by the Jews before Putin, including the Soviet-union.
    Now you claim that after 1948 the Jews no longer had control over the Soviet-union?
    How could the Jews loose control if they had such total control and Stalin was a (half-)Jew, right?
    How could the Jews then elect a non-Jew like Khruschev then, that made problems for them?
    Your logic “Blame The Jews” has some holes, as usual.

  8. Szalasi says:

    Beju- Stalin was Georgian.Lenin and Sverdlov werw also not Jewish. As for the rest- they were only Jewish by accident of birth. They did not in any way follow the Jewish religion or Jewish nationalism, and like you all of them were virulent anti-Zionists.
    It is interesting that Trotsky’s grandson became religous and now lives in Israel.

  9. beju says:

    Szalasi,
    Stalin was Georgian. You could have stated he was Russian, American, British or Martian all the same.
    His mother was Jewish, his father was Georgian.
    He was sent to an orthodox christian school as a youngster where he failed all and any grades.
    His father died while he was in his teens.
    His upbringing was Jewish, underground illegal Jewish all along. Why do you figure he surrounded himself with his ilk? It is a distortion of history that he was not Jewish but Georgian.
    He was a typical cunning and conniving Jew all his life.

  10. beju says:

    Viking,
    The holes exist in your head.
    The Soviet Union was invented, implemented, brought about under a terrorist regime of Jews.
    I was attempting to direct your limited attention span to the fact, that the Jews running the show all along did not have as much influence came Khruschev and later successor dictators in the Soviet Union with Israel’s birth, who by that time had Kennedy assasinated and took over the Federal Reserve and the American economy completely. They did not need the backward Russians by then for promoting their cause. Kapish??

    The Jews “had Kennedy assasinated and took over the Federal Reserve and the American economy completely”

    @Viking – no, he has tin-foil head. Antenna’s don’t make a difference since it doesn’t have a processor to receive any signals.

    Viking,
    What I wrote, has been proven by real-time life since they happened. Would it be a simple conspiracy theory, it might only be entertainment at best.
    Look around you and patch up your own tin foiled hat, wake up and smell the coffee if you’re capable of it.
    Kreston or whatever your name is,
    I don’t have time for your type, bug off or immerse yourself in some serious history before mouthing off about things you don’t have a clue about.
