An NGO bankrolled 47 percent by the German federal government and 26 percent by the EU is now suing X for “access” to Hungary’s election data. They dress it up as transparency. It’s nothing of the sort. This is institutionalized surveillance masquerading as democracy promotion — the same Brussels–Berlin complex that lectures nations about sovereignty while quietly trying to override it.

The EU is Trying to Steal Hungary’s Elections

by Gerry Nolan

When a foreign-funded NGO like Democracy Reporting International demands privileged access to a sovereign country’s electoral discourse, that’s not oversight — it’s power projection. Hungary’s elections belong to Hungarians, not EU technocrats, not German ministries, and certainly not NGOs operating as policy cut-outs. 

US President Donald Trump on Thursday posted an election conspiracy video that depicted former president Barack Obama and his wife Michelle as monkeys, drawing condemnation from prominent Democrats.

Near the end of a one-minute-long video posted on Trump's Truth Social platform, the Obamas are shown with their faces on the bodies of monkeys for about one second.

The song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" plays in the background when the Obamas appear.

Nord Stream (1224 km) and Nord Stream 2 (1200 km) are gas pipelines from Russia to Europe, running under the Baltic Sea, allowing gas supplies to bypass transit countries.

• 
  Each pipeline consists of two strings with a capacity of 55 billion cubic meters of gas per year. The total design capacity of both pipelines is 110 billion cubic meters.
• 
  Total project investment: €7.4 billion.

I can see why people do not care

About the Epstein saga to be aware

They think if they do think which is debatable

about the next meal to place on their table

While some young one prepares for a nose piercing

A tasteful tattoo on the left buttock and a penis ring

Some young girls go for the cheapest make up

At the pharmacy that tells them that down is up

Fashion lips need to be red, black and glossy 

The next favourite song is already a day old

Politics are the least of all human’s hobby

Economics annoys everyone young and bold

With cash rates, slithery silver and bullion gold

Making it impossible to afford a shanty

Even share a place with careless tenants

Who can’t even say what are their wants

The world is run by brothel owners we know

Vile debauched degrading disgusting porno

In Qatar on Thursday, Chancellor Friedrich Merz signaled Germany would be willing to increase arms exports to countries like Qatar and Saudi Arabia as "reliable cooperation partners."

Merz is on a three day tour of Gulf states along with the CEOs of German energy company Uniper, and Diehl Defense, among others, to explore potential oil, gas and arms deals as part of a push to attract more business to Germany as US tariff policies, and high energy prices in Europe, put pressure on the economy.

Speaking to reporters in Doha, Merz said Germany would work "more intensively in arms cooperation than in recent years" with partners in the Gulf region.

In the midst of the euphoria surrounding Venezuela's aggression, Trump and Marco Rubio sounded the death knell. After 67 years of resistance against the empire, the Cuban revolution was supposedly finished. Cuba was expected to fall this year, the US administration proclaimed daily, in every possible tone.

Cuba: in defense of the honor of humankind.

History offers a warning about unchecked power. As Donald Trump reshapes US foreign policy, the risks of personal rule and predatory hegemony are becoming harder to ignore.

While everyone is scouring over the millions of newly released Epstein documents, which continue to expose the disgusting depths of depravity among Western elites, a familiar discredited voice has surfaced with a convenient alternative tale: blame Russia.

Where did the “blame Russia for Epstein” conspiracy come from? 

The conspiracy, first pushed in London by the Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail, and later in the day by the New York Post, began claiming that Epstein, the proudly Jewish, pedophile financier, was somehow linked to Russia. Former BBC host Andrew Marr delivered an 11 minute sermon to his listeners on LBC radio on the same theme. No sense of coordination here at all, obviously.

The World Economic Forum claims to represent global cooperation, but its structure, silences and hierarchies tell a different story about who sets the agenda – and who is expected to listen.

Australia’s migration law allows entry to be refused on character grounds including genocide, war crimes and incitement. How that discretion is exercised speaks directly to Australia’s commitment to international law.

Germany is moving to deepen ties with Italy as tensions rise with France over EU trade policy, Emmanuel Macron’s looming exit, and relations with US President Donald Trump, The Telegraph reported on Monday, citing diplomats from the bloc.

France and Germany have long been the “engine” of EU policymaking, but the outlet described Macron as a “lame duck” whose mandate ends in 2027.

“Berlin needs partners it can work with. Can they work with Macron at the moment? Not really. He is leaving office soon and France is unstable. Germans hate instability,” an EU diplomat told the outlet.

It’s hard to know where Armageddon is going to come from… CERTAINLY NOT FROM GOD… God, in whatever format we pray to, would have long abandoned this planet of imbeciles, if he ever existed…

We might have to accept that this is the end of the WESTERN supremacy… Millions of pages about sex, rape, necrophilia, pedophilia, cannibalism — all damning things that have involved our highest political servants… Israel... and priests… and philosophers… Our Western moral superiority has taken a mortal shot.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said on Monday that "Europe can resist the brutalization of the world" and become a third way, as a growing tension leads to a possible US-China confrontation

"The geopolitical challenge of our century is the growing tension leading to a possible confrontation between the United States and China.

"In this equation, there is a variable that can change everything: Europe’s stance. Without seeking confrontation with either side, Europe can resist the brutalization of the world and chart a distinct path: a third way," Barrot told French daily Liberation.

Donald Trump’s “next big thing” is too big. That’s the verdict of some critics who fear the US President’s proposed triumphal arch in Washington DC will dominate and destroy the capital’s skyline.

Trump first unveiled plans last year for the arch, inspired by Paris’s iconic Arc de Triomphe ­and intended to act as a gateway to the city while also marking the 250th anniversary of America’s signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Debate has ramped up over the proposed Independence Arch after the President posted a series of potential new designs on social media.
