After Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the Trump administration is cancelling more than 80 per cent of USAID programmes, the agency’s role as the funder of a vast globalist foreign influence network has effectively come to an end.

‘Christians are believed to have constituted about 30 per cent of the Syrian population in the 1920s. Before the Syrian civil war, they made up about 10 per cent of Syria’s people, a figure now diminished to about 2.5 per cent, falling from 1.5 million in 2012 to about 300,000 in 2022. Most Christians left for Lebanon, Europe and North America, escaping the war and Syria’s economic straits.’
Donald Trump is reportedly considering relocating some 35,000 US soldiers from Germany to Hungary.

After Viktor Orbán announced that Hungary would hold a public vote on Ukraine’s EU accession, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski suggested holding a similar vote across member states on Hungary’s EU membership. However, Hungary is not alone in viewing Kyiv’s accession as a potential threat to the European economy. Polish farmers also fear the collapse of the agricultural sector, and their votes could be decisive in the country’s presidential election in May.
‘The world is not what you think it is; there is a dimension to reality that modernity denies, but it’s still there and we have to reconnect with it because our own spiritual and cultural survival depends on it. There was a reason why we got to this place in the West. And if we understand that, we can return to what our ancestors knew to be true.’
Former US ambassador to Hungary David Pressman continued his smear campaign against his former host country on CNN.

‘In recent years, articles mentioning this aspect of her life have almost exclusively referenced “Xavér” in this context. While we do not intend to question this moral judgment of her activities as an informant, it is important to recognize that before she became “Xavér”, Benoschofsky was also a victim of the Rákosi regime. Her arrest and interrogation left behind a chilling 284-page dossier.’
‘I didn’t even know where the theology school was. So, I got off at the Üllői Road intersection and walked to the pastoral office at Kálvin Square, where I told the pastor what had happened to me. He responded: “This is extraordinary. The theology school is actually nearby, on Ráday Street. Go there and apply.”’
‘We could say there is a certain discreet charm to the images from the summer of 1944, selected from Fortepan’s collection. But this charm, we might add, is rather almost morbid: we wonder at the cheerfulness captured by amateur and professional photographers during those dark months. People sunbathing, swimming in Lake Balaton, picnicking in flowery meadows, fooling around in front of the camera. Were they indifferent to the tragic events taking place during that period?’
‘It became common knowledge that Neumann was actually some kind of demigod masquerading as a human being for some reason. A Martian, a demigod, anything but this worldly being, who stands out from the rest…Contemporary scientists, the military, and the world of politics all used his skills, his brain, in exactly the same way we use computers today. It was not without reason that Albert Szent-Györgyi declared Neumann to have had the most brilliant human mind ever.’
‘In Slovenia, we do not have any conservative party in the true sense of the word. It is better to speak of “centre-right” than conservatism in Slovenia. The Slovenian centre-right has three parties: the strongest Slovenian party ever, the SDS, and two Christian Democratic parties, NSi and SLS; the first is parliamentary, and the second has not crossed the parliamentary threshold for a long time.’
‘Whenever we are in Szeklerland and the Szekler anthem is sung, I sing it with the others. People find it strange, but it’s natural for me…Emotionally, I am completely attuned to Hungarians, I am with them in their joy and sorrow. I often say: I am at home in two places. Whether the plane lands in Hungary or in Vietnam, I come home.’
