WATCH CORRUPTION

“Jim Bob is also called into court, and his relationship with memory seems to be highly strategic. He largely states that he doesn't remember much. The court even states, 'the court found mister Duggar's selective lapse in memory to be not credible.' He was obviously reluctant to testify against his son.”

“Fidesz, for example, thought that they had a monopoly on Hungarian nationalism. Magyar developed a language and a style that spoke to a more inclusive version of it. Like Trump, Orbán portrayed his own politics and his own supporters as the country, casting all critics as outsiders. Magyar sought to appeal to Fidesz voters as part of a shared political and national community. And it worked.”

“Every time Josh would text his wife that he was going to be late from work or that he was being held up somewhere, soon after, his computer would download videos of children. Additionally, through cell tracking towers, the prosecutors were able to prove that Joshua was the only one there at the lot.”

“And guess what? The Hungarians' queue from dawn voted in record numbers, 80% turnout, to say, no thank you, Trump, no thank you, Musk, no thank you, Mr Vance. Take your interference elsewhere. What was it President Zelensky said in our interview that was out earlier this week? I'm not sure sending JD is a good idea for Orbán. Well, how right he was. As for Putin, he sent in Money to Burn and Agents Galore.”

“Every CSAM picture, screenshot, thumbnail, video is logged with a specific metadata code, and that code is then shared with all the local police stations and all of the Internet service providers. And so if anybody's device downloads or sends out one of those codes, even if they're using a VPN or whatever they try to do, dark web, it usually flags.”

“But the more EU resources seem to be landing in the hands of his inner circle, his best friend, a former gas fitter, becomes the richest man in Hungary, the more Magyar was able to relate the industrial scale corruption to people's everyday lives. A part of Orbán's hubris was that because he developed a near Putin-like grip on the media, he assumed that their 24-7 propaganda on his behalf would work.”

“I talked to Dominic Sandbrook about this on the podcast last week when he stood in Ferrari, pointed out that if you win power by posing as a man of the people fighting a corrupt elite, and you become the corrupt elite yourself, don't be too shocked if the people turn against you. Now Putin could get round that by going full on dictator. Orbán, not least because Hungary is in the European Union, was more constrained.”

“He had become a symbol of far-right, kleptocratic authoritarian nationalism, which, because Donald Trump is back in the White House pursuing much the same agenda and often citing Orbán as an inspiration, many had assumed it was the winning formula for modern politics and modern campaigns. Orbán has lost, and he's lost big. So big that he had no option but to throw in the towel long before all the votes were even counted.”

“Orbán has been doing Putin's bidding for too long. The leaked conversations recently between Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and his Hungarian counterpart expose that for all to see. Orbán has sought to block and undermine EU support for President Zelensky at every turn. It's now likely, definitely possible, probably probable, that the long-promised 90 billion euros of support will begin to flow.”

“Before the agents tell Joshua Duggar what they're even investigating, he opens his mouth and he asks, what is this about? Has somebody been downloading child pornography? What? It's the kind of question that answers itself, but it doesn't even matter because based off of all of his devices, the evidence is already there.”

“They even bring in people from Covenant's eyes to testify how the operating system only works on Windows, but Joshua went and got Linux to bypass any and all detection that the software could have. The password used was allegedly the same password Josh used for the family's Instagram account.”
