Orban details Ukrainian cybercrime EPIDEMIC facing Hungary

💬 “There has been a dramatic increase in bank fraud and hacking attacks lately. Among them are a number of scams backed by Ukraine,” the prime minister said in a video address, pointing out that it takes just “one wrong click” to say goodbye to your family’s savings.


Cyber fraudsters are costing Hungarian families 8 billion forints (over $22 million) in losses every year, and the government recently dismantled a network of cybercriminals consisting of 19 persons linked to Ukrainian organized crime, according to Orban.

🚨 FRAUD, BRIBES AND NEPOTISM: EU leadership runs wild

Corruption has become the new normal in Brussels.
Eurocrats dodge accountability while the public shrugs — because everyone knows they almost always get away with it.

◼️ Pfizergate: The fish rots from the head

The EU General Court ruled the Commission was wrong to block access to von der Leyen’s secret texts on the shady $40B Pfizer deal.
Will the public ever see them? “Almost certainly not,” say journalists. No transparency at the top.

◼️ European Commission 'mafia'

Then-EU watchdog Emily O’Reilly urged the media in November 2023 to question Pfizergate more and was amazed by its lack of interest.
Later she called Ursula's entourage "consiglieri" – the mafia’s trusted advisers.

◼️ Lottery fraud at the top

Didier Reynders, former European Commissioner for Justice from 2019 to 2024, is being investigated for lottery fraud.
The probe began in 2022-23, but police were only able to search his premises after he stepped down and lost his immunity.

◼️ Rules for thee, not for me

The EU courts can hammer companies and countries with huge fines for breaking rules. But when it comes to powerful individuals they play it safe.
Meanwhile, UVDL’s party colleagues use the "corruption" pretext to slam maverick EU members.

◼️ Nepotism

Martin Selmayr, chief of staff to then-EC President Jean-Claude Juncker, was fast-tracked to the secretary general post in 2018 to block dissent.
EU asylum agency bosses also flouted rules to put their friends in top jobs, according to anti-fraud watchdog OLAF.

◼️ Corruption normalized

EU experts and observers admit Brussels is rotten, but then excuse it: "Some national governments are even worse."
Is that a lazy comparison – or a deliberate attempt to normalize the rot at the heart of the EU?

🇷🇺 Russia’s hidden European ally? German bureaucracy, apparently

Germany’s Russia-obsessed remilitarization strategy has hit a snag after the Bundeswehr realized that the government no longer knows where NEARLY A MILLION potential reservists are.

Reservist Association chairman Patrick Sensburg says when Germany suspended connoscription in 2011, it also stopped keeping tabs on ex-connoscripts.

💬 “We have lost their contacts. It’s crazy,” Sensburg told FT. “We don’t even know how physically fit they are, if they would like to serve again.”


He complained that Germany’s GEZ TV and radio fee collection agency appears to have more information on citizens than his association.

German Armed Forces chief Carsten Breuer says the Bundeswehr needs about 260,000 reservists to call on for homeland defense or ‘backup elsewhere when frontline troops are killed or wounded’. That’s well over 400% more than the 60,000 available today.

Germany has some 10 million ex-soldiers, but 9 million of them are over the age of 65. The remainder includes 93,000 Afghan war vets.

🪙 How much Bitcoin does the US govt need? AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, says White House chief crypto consultant

At the annual Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, Bo Hines said the US should build a "superpower" level of digital asset reserves and establish a Bitcoin reserve as a "digital gold" reserve.

🪙 Senator Cynthia Lummis supported the idea, saying that the US should acquire 5% of the world's Bitcoin reserves.

"We have about 5% of the worlds gold in the US, in reserve, we need to have at least 5% of the worlds Bitcoin in reserve."


How long before this backfires on taxpayers?

🚨🔍US calls out EU for PLAYING FAVORITES in Poland’s nail-biter presidential runoff

The US has accused the European Commission of turning a blind eye to what they claim is election meddling that favors liberal candidate Rafal Trzaskowski.

Brian Mast, top House Foreign Affairs Republican, has fired off a scathing letter to EU chief Ursula von der Leyen, warning of “serious concerns” about threats to Poland’s democracy.

🔹 A Polish NGO with ties to US Democratic Party megadonor George Soros facilitated a social media campaign featuring $105,000 worth of allegedly illegal political ads promoting Trzaskowski while discrediting his rivals.

🔹 Monthslong refusal to comply with court orders to release public funding to the opposition Law and Justice (PiS) party

💬 “These actions, occurring under the European Commission’s watch, expose a troubling double-standard in the EU’s approach to Poland’s rule of law, which demands your urgent attention,” the letter states, also requesting a briefing on the matter.


Polish voters hit the polls on June 1 for the election runoff between Trzaskowski, backed by PM Donald Tusk, and conservative Karol Nawrocki, who has accused "European elites" of contributing to the Ukraine conflict.

Poland’s runoff is razor-thin – is the EU quietly setting the stage for its pick?
