EchoTV recently aired an episode of Informátor, a propaganda program, in which it solicited the opinion of László Földi on the subject of NGOs and the Muslim invasion of Europe.
Földi, a former operations director with Hungary's foreign spy agency, has become a spokesperson for the paranoiac terrorism and migration narratives of the Orbán regime. He regularly appears as an expert guest on Hungary's vast pro-government propaganda outlets, which include the country's state-run media.
In the episode, the reporter for EchoTV, a broadcaster owned by mega-oligarch and suspected frontman for Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, Lőrinc Mészáros, makes claims that "George Soros' civil organizations" are involved in an elaborate human smuggling operation.
Földi later says that these organizations are human smugglers which, according to "war laws," are "saboteurs" and should be "eliminated."
In the episode, producers build up to Földi's statements with the following interview with Nasrin Katona, an interpreter:
Narration: Such a Middle Eastern network of interpreters has come about in Hungary, that following the apprehension of a group of migrants, the appropriate people show up within moments who put the right words in the immigrants' mouths. Nasrin Katona says the human rights groups are involved in this.
Nasrin Katona: These human rights groups do not consider Viktor Orbán to be their enemy, nor do they consider the Hungarian state or [President of the European Commission] Mr Junckers (sic) to be their enemy. Their enemies are the real refugees, because you cannot make money with them and because you cannot blackmail the state with them.
Narration: In the area of official interpreters, one of George Soros' favorite organizations, the Hungarian Helsinki Committee, has obtained significant influence. Soros' civil organizations and the pioneers of the open society have cast their web over those promoting immigration and interpreters. The Hungarian Helsinki Committee has worked for years to change how official interpretation works. Aside from their professional views, they make demands to ensure that lasting influence of the Soros network. It is shocking to see that there are no areas which Soros and his civil organizations are not trying to cover.
[The show's reporter then turns up at the Hungarian Helsinki Committee's office, but is sent away after an employee says he will not make statements to EchoTV.]
Narration: We would have liked to know how the Hungarian Helsinki Committee's paid interpreters fill the minds of migrants with lies, but we will not be able to learn this from the lights of Soros' eyes. Migration Aid, the billionaire's other favorite organization, also tries to get in on the business.
[The reporter then tries to contact Migration Aid over the phone, but is told that they only do in-person interviews.]
Narration: Surely, they [the Hungarian Helsinki Committee and Migration Aid] conspired with each other. Security policy expert László Földi says civil organizations are not only performing work that is harmful, they are even committing war crimes.
László Földi: There is a war going on. These people are collaborators, war criminals, traitors, and so on. This is an entirely different conceptual system. In times of war, human smugglers are not simply human smugglers, they are essentially saboteurs who have no legal status. In other words, they can be freely liquidated. That's what the war laws prescribe: spies and saboteurs are not taken to courts, they are immediately eliminated.

appealing vents
Well-made and blends in well
Elima-Draft is made from ABS plastic and foil bubble insulation for maximum draft protection and better heat loss prevention. It is reusable, light-weight, durable, paintable and blends well with the decor of your home or office.
In any season, Elima-Draft stops unwanted air flow through vents/registers/diffusers.
In the winter, save money by stopping leaky vents
Your money is escaping through your registers. The vents and registers in your home waste huge amounts energy during winter. The EPA reports that the average home experiences about 20% heat loss through inefficient, faulty and leaky HVAC ventilation ducts. Elima-Draft Vent Covers significantly reduce heating loss by covering up interior A/C and heating vents. Your vents are where heat loss mostly occurs, so covering them will save you up to 10% on your energy bill annually.
In the summer, save energy by blocking off vents in seldom-used rooms
Are you losing money by cooling or heating a room that you don't usually use? Lower your energy bills by installing vent covers and closing the door. Removing and attaching Elima-Draft vent covers takes a few seconds.
Live free of cold draftsThe uncovered register in the photo on the left shows the vent temperature of 51.8°F. With the Elima-Draft cover, the ambient temperature increased to 66.1°F in just 22 seconds, as shown in the picture on the right. That's an instant savings of 14.3°F of previously lost cooling!

Frequently Asked Questions
Which size should I buy?
Buy the same size cover as your register. For example, if the register measures 9"x 9" from edge to edge, then buy a 9"x9" cover.
My vents measure edge-to-edge a little larger than shown in the table above (for example 11.25" x 11.25"). What size should I buy?
Buy the size that is a little smaller than your vent. The Elima-Draft will still contact and seal between the edge of the vent and the opening of the vent. The cover will contact and seal on top of the vent itself. Therefore, our cover will completely cover all the openings of the vent. With this method, the edges of our cover won't contact the ceiling. Instead, the insulation will compress over the metal portion of the register, forming a seal. Specific examples:
• For a 11.25" x 11.25" aluminum vent, buy the ELMDFT11A.
• For a 13.5" x 13.5" aluminum vent, buy the ELMDFT13A.
• For a 14"x8", or 14"x6", or 12"x6", or 12"x8", or 13.75"x7.75" aluminum or steel vent, buy the ELMDFT4X1A.
How do your covers attach to the register grilles?
High-powered, neodymium magnets are mounted on the inside surface of each Elima-Draft cover. These special magnets many times stronger than standard magnets. The magnets securely hold to the steel vent or the steel screws of the aluminum vent. This allows you to install the covers in just seconds, not hours. Easy on, easy off.
My vents are plastic and the screws are recessed below the surface of the vent. It doesn't look like the Elima-Draft magnets will come into contact with the screws. What can I do?
|Airtech vent with the four additional screws fastened to it, as instructed above.
Your plastic vents are probably called Airtech vents. Here is how to make the Elima-Draft covers to work. Near to the existing screws, simply screw in one new screw halfway between the each of the outer edges of the vent (as shown in the picture below). Use 1/2" self-tapping lath screws. Now Elima-Draft's specially powerful magnets will hold to the screws. Thousands of customers have successfully modified their Airtechs this way.
For Airtechs, order the cover for aluminum vents. Choose the size that matches the measurements to the outside edges of your vent. For example, if your Airtech measures 11"x11", then order the ELMDFT11A.
My vents are different than any described on this page. Do you have a cover for me?
Yes: Our A/C Draftshields gadget may work. Here are examples of vents that will NOT work with Elima-Draft:
• 15.5" x 15.5"
• 16" x 7"
• 13.5" x 13.5" steel
• round
|Example of an air return/intake vent, 16" x 32"
If your larger vent is a return/intake air vent, with an air filter inside, then buy our Insertable Seal for Air Return/Vents in the blue Related Gadgets tab above.
My vent is flat or nearly flush with the ceiling or wall. Will your covers work?
The covers won't reach the vent screws.
1. Try these solutions:
1.1. If the screws are too far away from covers, then you can add more magnets. Purchase them in the blue Related Gadgets tab above.
1.2. Unscrew or "back out" the screws about one turn to bring them closer to the magnets.
1.3. Add nickel-plated #8 steel finishing washers to the vent cover screws. Tighten each screw until the head is flush with the washer surface. This provides more steel for the magnets to attract to. Do not use stainless steel finishing washers as they do not have enough magnetic metal.
2. Regardless of whether the flat profile diffuser is aluminum or steel, order the cover for aluminum vents.
What are the actual dimensions of the covers?
Steel vent cover dimensions: ELMDFT8S: 9"x9". ELMDFT10S: 11"x11". ELMDFT12S: 13"x13"
The depth/height distance from inside surface to top edge surface of the covers:

My vents AND screws are aluminum, not steel. Will your covers work?
Yes! Simply change the aluminum screws to steel screws. Now, Elima-Draft's powerful, neodymium magnets will firmly hold the covers in place, even when the air is blowing against them.
I can't believe that these won't blow off just like the Deflecto or Thermwell flexible magnetic covers. How do they stay on?
Elima-Draft covers will NOT blow off while your A/C or furnace is blowing, or ever, if you first close the vent louvers. They are held with industrial-strength neodymium/rare earth magnets. Plus they are light. The 13x13" cover is only 15 ounces.
Why should I cover my register grilles/grates?
The EPA reports that the average residential home loses up to 20% of indoor heat through leaky, faulty or poorly made air-conditioning ducts, air supply ducts and return air registers. Elima-Draft covers eliminate heat loss right where it begins: at the vents. Elima-Draft covers create a barrier that keeps cold air out and warm air in. Independent testing reports that the average homeowner can save up to 10% on their home energy bill annually.
Can I use Elima-Draft covers to stop unwanted odors, cigarette smoke and smells from entering the room through the vents?
Yes, many of our customers report that they work great to do that.
I have modern vents at home (or) my home was recently built. Should I still cover them?
Yes, you can benefit by covering your ventilation grills, old or new. Modern vents have louvers: open spaces with movable slanted pieces that control air flow. Even when closed, they are far from an air-tight seal. They still allow a great volume of heated air to escape into the ducts, and cold air to travel down into your living area. Both result in energy losses. Additionally, most vents are made of metal, a conductive material. In winter, the cold metal conducts throughout your home to help refrigerate your living area, resulting in higher heating bills.
Homes that have a separate space heating system and air conditioning system are particularly susceptible to this problem. During the winter, cold air falls through the A/C registers into the room. And, warm air escapes through the same. Covering them with Elima-Draft will stop your heated room air from escaping.
How do I paint my Elima-Draft vent covers?
1. Clean the cover using a dry sponge with a small amount of dish soap. Rinse it off with clean water and dry the surface with paper towels. Set the cover aside for about half an hour to completely dry.
2. With a fine-grade sandpaper, gently abrade the surface but don't scratch it. The surface should no longer feel "glass-smooth" after you're done. ABS doesn't require any primer paint.
3. Apply any solvent-based (not latex) paint using a paintbrush in thin layers. Make sure each layer is dry before applying the next. Read the instructions that come with the paint for more information.
Finish insulating your home
You have thousands of dollars worth of insulation in your attic, walls, doors and windows. Don't forget the leaky vents! Elima-Draft provides instant savings and added comfort. If you want to save money and live draft-free, Elima-Draft is a necessity: It costs you not to have it. Elima-Draft vent covers are a environmentally-friendly, green and affordable energy saving solution that makes daily living easier and more comfortable. The insulation value for the covers is R-6.

Los Angeles' New Beat Fund is a west coast alternative band comprised of brothers Jeffrey & Paul Laliberte and Shelby Archer. With the trio writing, producing, and performing all of the tracks, their unpredictably unique take on pop music is charactistic in every one of their songs. A D.I.Y. aesthetic is an inherent part of everything the band creates, and like the band name, New Beat fund, their music is meant to be a direct exchange between artist and listener. "Music is therapeutic for us, we want our songs to be a relief from the daily grind we all go through every day."
In 2012 the band released it's debut single "Scare Me" accompanied by a self produced video that would go viral. After gaining attention they landed an opening tour slot for Blink 182 that would expand their fanbase the following year. With some substantial touring under their belt, they recorded their debut album "Sponge Fingerz" which produced the somber dream-pop sing along "It's Cool" and a grungy cover of Rae Sremmurd's "No Type" that would secure the band national radio airplay, worldwide playlists, and major festivals across the US.
"Chillanthropy Pt. 1" the band's forthcoming EP —the first of a three part series— is a swirling collection of hip hop infused alt. rock that uniquely defines what it is to be a band in the modern musical landscape. On their debut single "Surf Style," New Beat Fund channel their creative energy into a summer anthem about experiencing life in the moment and maintaining a positive outlook. With it's raw energy and beachy hip hop-bounce, the track unfolds into dreamy guitars riffs, heavy bass lines, and soulful vocals that slip from laidback back daydreams to anthemic croons. (Sample lyric: "Experiencing all of it and always keep it positive").
"The song is meant to make u feel free, like you're driving a convertible down the PCH with your best friends and your overwhelmed with that feeling that anything is possible, and life is beautiful."
From the melancholy alt rock of "When She's Sober"—written on tour after overhearing a phone conversation on the street— to the hypnotic groove of "Cool Girl"—which features friends and fellow producers The Driver Era, and lends a vocal from actor/singer Ross Lynch— the band relies on theirs instincts and purposely blurs genres to create a sound that is undeniably New Beat Fund.
"Music is just another expression, some days are happy and some aren't, so what we write is really just a documentation of those highs and lows.
Along with the releases of Chillanthropy Pt. 2 & 3, they are continuing to work on a collection of videos and artworks, as well as musical collaborations with artists from all different genres. "We have a lot of collaborations in the works, a few may catch you by surprise." Says Paul, "but it's important to us that we continue to push ourselves and explore beyond our limitations musically." And when they're not actively creating, the three of them are often riding around LA, listening back to mixes, experimenting with other creative mediums, or hanging by the beach with friends and taking time to enjoy the moment.
