My name is Zsolt Bede. I am a journalist, influencer, and patriotic activist who supports Orbán and Fidesz.
A week ago, eight investigators showed up at the home of my 75-year-old father. They said nothing, provided no contact information, and simply appeared there to intimidate him.
A week passed without any further contact, and then they suddenly descended on my apartment.
They did not present any documents and did not explain what they were looking for. I was not informed of the allegations against me. To this day, I have not been provided with any of the official case documents.
They conducted a search of my home while my 16-year-old son was with me. They traumatized him as well. I was not allowed to call my lawyer, and my son was not allowed to speak with his mother. Moreover, he was not permitted to leave for an important international scout football event he was supposed to attend. He was unlawfully detained.
The authorities seized my phones and laptop, and then they confiscated my son's devices as well. He has absolutely nothing to do with politics.
In total, they took away 13 electronic devices. Before leaving, they also thoroughly searched my car. The entire residential complex watched as if I were some kind of terrorist while eight police officers searched the vehicle.
The next day, I was required to report to the police headquarters for a five-and-a-half-hour interrogation. The official record stated that I had failed to comply with the authorities, which is a lie. I was fully cooperative.
The entire case was riddled with legal violations. It was an act of intimidation, and I was humiliated in front of my child.
These are the times that have arrived in Hungary under Péter Magyar.
Data centers do NOT need water. Doug Sevey is an environmental engineer & data center developer in with Palo, IA. He developed the 1st private data center & advocated for water-free cooling systems for data centers at a public hearing on Palo's data center ordinance June ‘26.
@freezymfe@WallStreetApes@RighterThanRigh This is a really good idea. Can't fathom how you set up such a "pen pal" system when those across the pond are so censored. But I'm game. Sign me up. All it takes for evil to succeed is for good men (or women) to do nothing.
@factpostnews Well I certainly hope you're not going to send them environmentally unfriendly disposable diapers, Gavin. I'm sure the various state environmental groups and departments would prefer they get a dozen cloth diapers and a couple pairs of "rubber pants".
@NcLisa87125@newstart_2024 Look into vegan "cream" recipes. Miyoko Schinner has a great book - The Homemade Vegan Pantry - that has some great recipes. We are not vegan, but have a family member with a severe dairy allergy. Miyoko's recipes have been a lifesaver.
@TheKevinDalton Perhaps the federal government can put on a giant fireworks display off the coast at Long Beach and just see if the CCC “police” try to stop it
@Me80307930@LisaBabner@WellsJorda89710 No need to use insulting language in your response, "Me". Try to get your point across without denigrating the other person. You'll feel better about yourself.
@future42org Gee KOMO, why highlight that the auditor said there was no evidence of any fraud without also pointing out that there is no evidence because the agency failed to maintain the required audit trail?
I don't have attorney advisors. I'm not allowed. The Prosecutor is my legal advisor by statute, and she won't help me. She is actually against me. Have you followed that story at all? If not, look it up. I'm doing all this by myself. I'm not even allowed to have an attorney even if it is free or I pay for the attorney. A judge ruled that.
@WallStreetApes If the legislature passed it unanimously, they can override the governor’s veto. But they won’t because the legislature doesn’t want the audit either. They just want to look like they want it.
