⚠️BOYCOTT WORLD CUP IN AMERICA, SO DANGEROUS FOR ALL TOURISTS !!!⚠️

Funny part is, Truth/Pravda was Moscow-based newspaper, central organ of the Soviet Communist Party, another Pravda was in then Slovakia. The name Pravda was chosen to imply that the Communist Party held the ultimate, objective understanding of history and reality. Totalitarians never change.

See case study winter 24. Would there be no responsible neighbors keeping their old power plants, DE, maybe part of Europe would face blackout. By closing NPP you outsourced the "batteries" to neighbors for no payment and without contract - closing them w/o sufficient reserve was irresponsible.

You are not fine as long as you don't have giant batteries, someone has to keep stable power sources to cover peak demands, days were there is no wind/sunlight, technical issues in grid/generation (in DE and all of its neighbors). DE indirectly relies on nuclear capacities of neighbors. 1/2

It is well possible, I am explaining stance of listeners from occupied countries in "soviet bloc" - no sane ordinary guy would voluntarily buy a peace of art by prominent occupier artist. Maybe they mandatory funneled the records to russian cultural centers, libraries. Incomparable with Madonna.

Russians tend to exaggerate too much. Everyone knew who she was, but no sane citizen of enslaved soviet bloc country would buy a record of prominent russian artist. We made just jokes of stars like her or the group called Trolleybus No. 5. Cultural exchange under occupation works not overly well.

Mathias Corvinus Collegium is the richest think tank created by Orban, they support a lot of "scientist/students" siding with/promoting GOP.

Orbánův státem placený příběh o „poslední baště Západu“ končí. Co přijde místo něj? — HlídacíPes.org ANALÝZA. Zatímco doma Viktor Orbán roky budoval systém, kdy ze státních peněz a blízkosti k vládě měla prospěch jeho rodina a síť spřátelených podnikatelů, do světa šířil jiný obraz – sebe jako obránc...

Think-tank Alapjogokért Központ organizing CPAC Hungary (for $3.4M) co-hosted a lavish gala for Trump's MAGA right in New York, together with NYYRC. Danube Institute paid in 2020-24 ~$2.9M on foreign fees. There is more about paid influencers:

Thank you for reminding. There is also another reminder circulating on socials, that any catholic refusing the authority of pope is basically automatically excommunicated. He can't be called a catholic any more.

To see the Church of Rome as invalid is similar as claiming Vaccination kills/causes autism or believing in Flat Earth. One doesn't need to be catholic or even believe at all to acknowledge that Church of Rome is valid and relevant. Anything valid for 18% of world's population has to be respected.

Those figures inflate US GDP, but people aren’t fundamentally better off, significant portion of them are actually much worse off. The same for the cost of medications. Healthcare is 19% of US GDP & 10% of EU GDP. The EU is a better place to live, with a well-developed infrastructure. 2/2

Comparing GDP does not tell us anything about the quality of life in US/EU.
Price in USD in the EU Price in the US
Knee replacement 7,400 16% 45,000
Cataract surgery 700 14% 5,000
Appendectomy 2,200 10% 21,000
How do these figures reflect in GDP and in people’s lives? 1/2

Southern European diet contains fewer technical additives than the US diet, where 60% of grocery purchases contain such chemicals. May be one of the key factors for US lagging in life expectancy. US friends should talk about this statistics much more. The difference between US & Canada is striking.

Right, they can create "alter-catholic/protestant" church with "pope" Vance anytime. I don't believe it will be mass phenomenon. The majority will consider the fact the church was here 2000 years ago & likely will be there in another 2000 years while "alter-church" vanishes with its false prophets.

For about 1.4 billion Catholics around the world the pope is undisputed authority. USA cannot fight with them, they cannot bomb the Vatican. The level of insanity of the US administration and their cyber/crypto handlers is mind-boggling.

To be fair, the Pope can't be considered a citizen of any other state than Vatican in political sense, even if he still kept his US passport. The pope non-interference in any other topic then topic related to catholic religion is guaranteed. JDV is a moron, with or without any fact checking.

Judging by leaks there might be some evidence of treason / fraud of EU funds committed by Orbán & his FM. If it is in possession of EU it could lead to independent investigation skipping compromised HU judical system. Trials, verdicts would help to de-orbanize the government. Let's see how it goes.

The fight begins. Orbán's class mates, oligarchs, banksters, Mathias Corvinus Collegium holding shares of MOL, Gedeon Richter. The Hydra created by Russia in Hungary & Europe, the "Patriots" for Europe - they have lots of money. Hard to de-fund them, hard to kill the Hydra.

Trump attacked last night Pope Leo for a range of things. I will not dive into this because it is irrelevant. What is really telling is that you can add the Pope Leo to the list of people Trump attacked. However, there is one person that Trump never attacks:

Vladimir Putin

Lots of Orban's people already defected to Magyar. Magyar can also use some anti-democratic instruments created by Orban to suppress the opposition. But Orban's class mates and friends are the top oligarchs owning biggest banks and companies. This will be the biggest challenge. Hydra has money. 4/4

book publisher in HU. gives out grants to 10k students. Their experts visit other EU countries under cover of academic and expert exchanges and coordinate "Battle for the Soul of Europe". You see here just a part of the Hydra created by Putin called Patriots for Europe. Hard to kill it. 3/4

MCC assets exceed €1.3B. it holds 10% in MOL, the only refinery in Hungary & Slovakia, 10% in pharma company Gedeon Richter. MCC is funded by dividends from processing of RU oil - €50M/2023. State grant in 2020 was $462M+real estate. MCC created Brussels office with budget €6.3M, owns biggest 2/4

Orban created Mathias Corvinus Collegium, think tank+ academy for nurturing illiberal elites, promoting national sovereignty and "opposition to Brussels-style centralism". Funding of MCC is based on a massive transfer of state assets, making it one of the wealthiest EU educational institutions. 1/4

That could be just members of voting committee going to visit elderly/disabled people at home or in hospital to allow them to exercise their voting rights. I don't know exact procedures in Hungary but such procedure is not uncommon in our region.

Liberté, égalité, Wärmepumpé

Most probable scenario for coming days.

Every country may have its own version of Project 2025. Scientifically developed conservative-libertarian program to destroy the society from within. Spread and promoted by social networks, influencers, oligarchs, "new unbiased media", emerging politicians and so called "patriot parties".

But russians first have to sell Kamchatka to a pawnshop to pay for the funerals. 😂
