A random blog post that upon five seconds of inspection is outright abusing the truth?
In 1996, journalist Michael Smith published a book where MI6 officers, a branch of British intelligence, admitted they trained and armed Király’s fighters.8
Hmm okay, so let’s actually read the source provided here:
according to the author of a new book on the history of the organisation.
So random author, advertising a book is the basis of this whole claim.
“There is no evidence that this was specifically sparked by MI6 because there was another series of events”.
So no evidence.
Unfortunately the Budapest students met in a coffee bar to discuss their activities and were swiftly rounded up. Mr Gorka was interrogated for several weeks, strung up from a beam and immersed in icy water. Under torture, he confessed, and was sent to prison for 15 years.
So the few they did try to recruit and train were caught.
Laszlo Regeczy-Nagy, the President of the Committee for Historical Justice, representing the interests of the veterans, said: “There were thousands of Hungarians living in Austria at the time and some were undoubtedly organised and trained by the British.” He believes that foreign intervention played a modest role, and “the vast majority of those taking part [in the revolt] were locally trained and led”. He added: “Even without training, they pretty quickly learned how to fire machine guns and hurl Molotov cocktails.”
So to re-iterate, the claim that they ‘trained and armed Király’s fighters’ was a complete fabrication by the author.
They, as one would expect of them, were trying to build up a network to maybe do so in the future but they actually had nothing to do with the 1956 uprising.
Because they usually, eventually, end up in a position or situation where they have to either justify or gloss over or invent apologia for or just deny the existence amd actions of Beria, who… is the kind of person with the kind of power and cruelty that is an inevitability of their worldview put into practice.
Its not dissimilar from American Extremeist Christians who just start frothing at the mouth when you point out obvious hypocrises and ‘justified’ horrors in their worldview.
Somewhat ironically, the ego of being a ‘correct’ collectivist overrides a basic sense of human decency, resulting in fanaticism, and fanatics, basically by definition, don’t care about ‘the’ truth, they use language as a weapon, not as a means of genuine communication, and they ultimately use it to affirm their own moral/intellectual superiority over others.
Your ‘evidence’ is a random blog post?

Why are tankies always so dishonest ?

It would be funny if it wasn’t so deadly serious.
