23. Companies should not be publishing manifestos on how our societies should operate and function. The act of private companies attempting to take on the role of government and/or policy construction should be seen as a threat to national security and the Western way of life.
Unless Palantir or others are willing to accept direct democratic oversight and accountability, they should remain entirely outside of the realm of policy formation or decision-making.
We are a freedom-loving people with values, principles, and rights that are not gifted to us by government, or corporations, or narcissistic drug addicts suffering from god complexes.
If corporations will not or cannot understand this, and stand in support of fundamental Western values (free speech, privacy, individual liberty, etc.) they should be broken up or temporarily nationalised in order to bring them back under direct democratic accountability and control, and until new laws and/or constitutional amendments can be made to protect free citizens from infringements on their god-given rights.
No, Orbán no es demócrata por haber reconocido la derrota, solo no fue tan idiota como Maduro.
Estaba enclavado entre países la UE de la que dependía financieramente y Ucrania que lo quería fuera. Si no reconocía y trataba de atrincherarse era seguro que terminaba como Maduro.
🎯 Apologists trying to credit Orbán for conceding are intentionally missing the point. He would’ve done anything to stay in power had he thought it possible. Hungarians made it impossible. Trying & failing to destroy democracy receives no credit. He didn't stop; he was stopped.
It even got to the point where the President of the United States (!) openly promised, on social media (!!), to give Hungarian voters money (!!!) if they chose Orban as prime minister.
Just think about it for a moment.
This is political corruption turned up to the absolute maximum, displayed with a level of brazenness and shamelessness the world has never seen before.
visits the pope → pope dies
leads Iran negotiations → talks collapse
flies to Hungary to prop up Orbán → Orbán loses in a landslide
Man’s got a streak.
The way this is going, by the time they stop counting, there might just be more votes for Zelensky than for Viktor Orban. He got crushed by the opposition so badly that Hungary is essentially a one party state now, just the other way around.
Delcy Rodríguez quiere hacerle creer a los venezolanos que nació el 03 de enero de 2026.
En su mensaje, omite su responsabilidad en los peores años de la crisis humanitaria que destruyó Venezuela.
Durante todo su discurso le echó la culpa a las sanciones, cuando fueron ellos quienes destruyeron al país con sus políticas socialistas y gigantesca corrupción.
Delcy Rodriguez apoyó los desmanes de Chávez y fue ministra de economía durante el desastre de Maduro.
Si queremos futuro tenemos que sacar a Delcy. Y eso va.
Lavrov to Szijjarto: "[Following the information received about the Commission meeting] Sometimes a good willed blackmail is the best option." Szijjarto to Lavrov: "I am at your disposal." Lavrov to Szijjarto: "The Americans said that if they manage to sideline Ukraine, there are no limits [to U.S.-Russia economic cooperation]." Szijjarto to Lavrov: "Can Orban meet with Putin? Anywhere in Russia would be fine. You should know that the prime minister [Orban] is very flexible about the location."
These are just a few exchanges from the latest revelation by the journalistic consortium investigating and publishing evidence that Hungary has violated European and likely national laws and betrayed Europe and Ukraine.
Throughout Russia’s war against Ukraine, Szijjarto provided Russia with information, documents, and assistance that led to a slowing of European Union pressure or even its reduction. This gave Russia an advantage in the diplomatic, political, and economic fight with the European Union.
The actions of Orbán, Szijjártó, and the Hungarian government (and the Slovak government under Fico) have aided Russia in its efforts to kill Ukrainians. This is what we must remember. The actions of Orbán’s Hungary have contributed to the killing of Ukrainians. The rape of Ukrainian children. The massacre of entire families. These are the results of the collaboration between Hungary (and Fico’s Slovakia) and Russia.
The actions taken by Orban and Szijjarto, as proven by investigative journalists, have clear characteristics: they are deliberate, premeditated, and pursue clear objectives of supporting Russia against the humanitarian interests of Ukraine and the European Union.
Hungary blackmailed the European Union to achieve Russia’s objectives!
We learn from the new investigative episode that after Alaska, in Anchorage, Putin gave the meeting with Trump a perfect score and that America has an interest in setting aside the Ukrainian issue, and that then U.S.-Russia cooperation will be unlimited. We can speculate that this remark by Lavrov is Russian disinformation, but I can’t help but notice that Trump has become even more of Putin’s puppet after Alaska, and Zelenskyy was even more to blame for everything.
By the way, Szijjarto is the one who shook hands yesterday with a guy who acts like a useful idiot for Russia: JD Vance. JD Vance, who came yesterday to support Orban in the election in four days. Who called Trump during the rally for Orban, and whom Trump once again backed.
Trump and Vance are the ones who tried to humiliate Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, and they are also the ones threatening Europe, aiding extremists in Europe, playing into Russia’s hands, and pressuring Ukraine.
Now that you’ve read this, don’t you understand Zelenskyy better when he lost his temper and said he’d hand Orban’s phone to the guys in the Ukrainian Armed Forces so they could call him?
And people still try to put Buffon and others in the same bracket? It’s like comparing Salah to Messi. Neuer is in a league of his own. No other GK in history has reached his level.
‼️Statement on the Orbán Government Accusing Me, an Investigative Journalist, of Espionage‼️
Today, the Hungarian government has filed a complaint against me for espionage. Accusing investigative journalists of espionage is virtually unprecedented in the 21st century for an EU member state. This is typical of Putin’s Russia, Belarus, and similar regimes.
I have spent over a decade documenting how Russian spies and interests have penetrated Hungarian politics, so I am probably the least surprised by this.
Despite growing signs that the Hungarian government acts as a Kremlin ally and copies the Russian model, I still trust that parts of the Hungarian state—and the judiciary—follow the Hungarian constitution, not that of the Russian Federation.
I have never engaged in espionage. I see my work as journalistic counterintelligence—from exposing the hacking of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry by Russian actors to revealing the activities of Hungarian pro-Kremlin propagandists.
Defending myself publicly would be easier if I were not bound by source protection. But that remains my top priority. I cannot reveal who provides me information or what I receive, including from within Hungarian state structures.
If I were not a journalist, I could list many facts proving it is impossible for the Hungarian state to genuinely believe I am spying. Certain meetings, contacts, and information gathering could never have happened otherwise.
This baseless accusation now forces me to share details of a specific investigation, including a conversation with a confidential source that appears to have been wiretapped. Normally, this would appear in a finished article or my upcoming book—not here. (It will appear there as well.)
Since 2023, I have investigated whether the relationship between Péter Szijjártó and Russian officials exceeds legal limits. The published audio, where I’m heard talking to a source, mentions that communication between Szijjártó and Sergey Lavrov is recorded by EU intelligence services. Less attention has gone to my point that this relationship raises strong suspicion of political intelligence activity and influence operations in Russia’s interest.
These are serious claims and hard to prove. As a journalist, I cannot force anyone to speak or hand over documents. That is why gathering this information has taken so long—and why I spoke to that sensitive source (while the conversation was secretly recorded).
Serious claims require serious evidence, and I believe I have gathered some. I have not engaged in espionage.
I have not cooperated with any foreign intelligence service in surveilling Szijjártó. Instead, I tried to verify earlier fragments of information about Szijjártó–Lavrov communication.
I sought to identify the channels and phone numbers used, and whether a secret channel—possibly used by Russian intelligence—exists. In other words, whether Szijjártó uses a hidden device or number unknown even within the Hungarian Foreign Ministry.
This was only one part of my research. The other, more serious topic is this:
Since at least 2016–2017, EU and NATO intelligence services have had indications that large amounts of cash and precious stones may have been transported from Russia on Hungarian government aircraft or private jets used by government figures. Officials from at least six countries made such claims to me.
These signals did not come from monitoring Hungarian targets, but, for example, from intercepting Russian officials discussing or preparing such shipments.
Alongside Szijjártó–Lavrov communication, I examined how baggage screening and handling works on such flights, which officials travel with what luggage, whether more packages arrive from Moscow than depart, and how such shipments could be handled discreetly.
I know how serious this is, and I would not have written even this much—but since I do not know what else may be taken from the edited recording, or what fabricated accusations (like, for example, that I was seeking such details to commit terrorism) may follow, I believe I must share this now.
Why do I investigate all this?
According to many sources familiar with the Hungarian state and counterintelligence, there is no independent body in the Orbán system able to investigate or act if a senior official is suspected of espionage.
Government members direct intelligence services and set expectations. The services lack both tools and authority to investigate a government member.
I knew this would be difficult when I chose to pursue it. But few people in Hungary can or dare to do this, so I felt it was my duty.
We have now reached the point where the Orbán government—of which Szijjártó is still a member—aware of my reporting plans and the risk they pose, has preemptively accused me of espionage.
I am a Hungarian patriot. I serve the public. As an investigative journalist, my job is to hold power accountable. Neither political theater nor legal threats will deter me.
Video de @elicalebon que explica por qué los asuntos de Irán, Venezuela y otros países son un problema para ser entendidos en algunas sociedades que decidieron ponerse del lado de los perpetradores y borrar a las víctimas y sus voces.
Let me be clear- people inside Venezuela will be better economically under US interests for our oil rather than Cubas. And that’s an improvement. But as things are going and without additional strikes, that will be the extent of the improvements. And I’m still glad Maduro is in prison. But my hope for Venezuelan democracy lessens by the day with new information. Especially now that we know Delcy made a deal with the CIA and DEA months ago. And as we see how easily chavismo is willing to simply change masters.
Zelensky just said the quiet part out loud:
“Maduro is on trial in New York… but Putin isn’t?”
The world is watching who gets dragged into court… and who gets treated like untouchable royalty.
Giving up one of the highest honors on Earth in an attempt to liberate your people from decades of repression is absolutely a reflection of courage and integrity.
Machado has demonstrated time and time again that she's much more than talk. She's braver than both you and me.
