@gingergroyper@GunterFehlinger A lot of apologising to do - the holocaust was the brainchild of an Austrian and a man welcomed back to Austria by millions lining the streets with flags and flowers.
@GunterFehlinger Last time I checked Austria was also neutral, you spawned the most racist and toxic ideology seen in Europe for a millennium and supported by your parents and grandparents, you actually started WW1 - time to look in a mirror.
@GunterFehlinger@POTUS Liberated from whom? An Austrian who brought death and destruction to Europe and beyond and was welcomed with open arms by Austrians. You were liberated from yourselves and a toxic ideology spawned by Austria.
@John52580C@duponline I can understand arriving by "small boats" (the Channel), in the back of trucks etc but how are illegal migrants arriving at any airport (globally) as you need valid ID to board a plane.
@eric_nelligan@Sainty54321@SeanDubIreland Back in the day was a straight A student across the board but failed Irish - so failed LC and couldnt access Uni (although had the points) - worked abroad for the summer intending to repeat Irish but 30+ years later.....its been "a long summer" - so couldnt agree more.
@PaulGosling1 What happened lastnight is not the answer to anything, however the broader issue of young qualified "local people" emigrating and migrant workers then filling local jobs - this needs addressing . Public Health Services both North and South of the border is a prime example.
@ghost_wales NI to IRL is an open border but IRL to France would require a Passport or National Identity Card - and same in reverse. But your point is very valid as its a mystery how so many illegal migrants seem to be able to travel by air without documents when everyone else seemingly cant.
@bollobas Magyar has said he will not sign up to the EU migration pact and several other countries have already not signed up. What Hungary needs to worry about is the Indian invasion which started 3-4 years ago under Orban (without him telling anyone).
The hypocrisy is absolutely volcanic.
For years, Orbán’s propaganda machine screamed about “foreign interference”, “sovereignty”, “rolling dollars”, and evil foreign money corrupting Hungarian politics. Meanwhile, the same regime was quietly using Hungarian taxpayer money to build its own foreign influence network through the state-funded Danube Institute, tied to the Batthyány Lajos Foundation.
According to Átlátszó, the Danube Institute became one of the regime’s main vehicles for cultivating foreign right-wing populists, MAGA-world conservatives, Brexit nostalgics, and sympathetic Western intellectuals. And this was not some harmless academic tea party. The contracts reportedly required media appearances, articles, conferences, networking, and the promotion of Orbán’s Hungary abroad.
In plain English: Hungarian public money was used to manufacture foreign validation for Orbánism.
The spending exploded. Átlátszó says Danube Institute research contracts rose from 76.76 million forints in 2022, to 179 million in 2023, to 284.6 million in 2024. Then in 2025, just before the election, DI-linked partners signed contracts worth more than 389 million forints.
So while Hungarian hospitals were rotting, schools were begging, and ordinary people were counting every forint, the regime was shovelling public money into foreign cheerleaders.
Lord David Frost reportedly received more than €43,000 in total, averaging over €3,600 per month. His tasks included appearing regularly, or at least twice a month, in British media.
David L. Dusenbury was identified as receiving €4,666 per month for three years, totalling €168,000. His duties reportedly included writing books, teaching, and representing the institute at events.
Timothy Burns reportedly received $12,500 for 36 days of work, plus a return transatlantic flight.
Melissa Ford Maldonado was connected to an $8,400 contract for a 10-page paper on Hungarian migration policy and lessons for Texas.
Philip Pilkington was linked to a €5,000-per-month contract involving British media networking and themes connected to Ireland, Northern Ireland, and alleged risks of liberal political shifts.
Carlos Roa reportedly signed contracts worth $160,000 over 16 months.
Rod Dreher was also part of this ecosystem, with Átlátszó previously reporting a Danube Institute contract worth $8,750 per month, or $105,000 a year.
Jonathan Price reportedly received €5,000 per month for 12 months, totalling €60,000, while objecting to disclosure on privacy grounds.
And then there was the article-production model: Átlátszó reported a $4,500-per-month contract requiring at least two articles per month for Western outlets such as American Conservative, National Review, Newsweek, The Federalist, The Spectator, and UnHerd. Átlátszó said the contract was most likely signed by Michael O’Shea.
So let’s say it clearly.
This was not “sovereignty protection”. This was Orbán’s taxpayer-funded foreign influence operation. A public-money laundromat for ideological networking. A state-financed fan club for foreign right-wing pundits, academics, Trump-world operators, Brexit nostalgics, culture-war influencers, and professional Hungary-praisers.
They accused everyone else of foreign interference while literally paying foreigners to interfere on their behalf.
They cried about NGOs while funding their own GONGOs.
They screamed about the “dollar left” while running a forint-funded international propaganda export business.
And the dirtiest part? Much of this was happening while Hungarian public services were collapsing. Hospitals without toilet paper. Schools without teachers. Families crushed by inflation. Villages abandoned. Public transport rotting.
But there was always money for some Western “conservative intellectual” to write a love letter to Orbán or explain why Hungary is the glorious model of the future.
NER using Hungarian taxpayers as an ATM for its international ego project.
There is no issue more important than immigration. Hospitals, Roads, and economics won't matter if we become a minority in our own country. Because those roads and hospitals won't belong to us anymore. We won't have a country anymore and nothing will matter.
@Davidmetroland@reformexposed Until the political establishment seriously adresses the underlying reasons why many are voting extreme right "the west" will continue to sleepwalk towards Facism and Kleptocracy.
Americans 🇺🇸 Did you know Hershey’s chocolate tastes like vomit to Europeans? This is not a joke.
The reason? Butyric acid. Hershey’s uses a special milk process (lipolysis) that breaks down fats & creates butyric acid, the same compound found in vomit, rancid butter, and parmesan. It gives that signature tangy/sour note Americans grew up loving, but hits Europeans like a punch in the gut.
Cultural chocolate trauma is real 😂
I have tried to eat a couple of Hershey chocolate bars over the years, I can’t get past the first bite.
@jonburkeUK Americans have been conditioned to see the number of billionaires, stock markets, size of military as the only meaningful metrics rather than quality of life, work life balance, quality of social services and safety nets - completely different values.
These almost weekly articles tell me two things:
1/ The American right needs to terrify the American people into believing working until you drop then begging on GoFundMe to pay your medical bills is a sign of national greatness.
2/ Americans do not understand what ‘rich’ is.
They are doing their best to cover up this story!
Meet 36-year old illegal settler Yonah Schreiber, the Jew/ish extremist who brutally attacked a 48 year old, French Catholic nun in Jerusalem. Jonah even kicked her while she was down in agonizing pain as his people do. A fellow illegal settler observed and did nothing to help the nun.
Israel only recently detained Jonah after the video of his grotesque crime went viral. There are no details of his court date or if he has been released.
They are doing their best to suppress this video and story online. Why aren’t all influencers exposing it?
