The head of Budapest’s Office for the Protection of Sovereignty claimed that tens of millions of dollars from the United States and the European Union have funded left-leaning media institutions over the past three years, with the intent of overthrowing the conservative government of Viktor Orbán in Hungary.

Supposedly independent media outlets in Hungary have been propped up by money from the now-axed United States Agency for International Development (USAID), other State Department programmes, as well as from the European Commission, Tamás Lánczi said this week. The top man at the Office for the Protection of Sovereignty said that the globalist influence schemes were intended fund “propaganda” in the hopes of toppling the government of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, one of the leading opponents of the neo-liberal open borders and socially far-left agendas favoured by elites in Brussels and Washington.

“It’s not micro-donations, it’s not reader support, it’s not a voluntary offering, it’s money from foreign powers… It’s not charity, it’s a HUF 23 billion foreign intervention. This money was used to buy media workers, activists and politicians,” he said per the Magyar Nemzet newspaper.

The watchdog said the majority of the funding came from the European Commission, accounting for HUF 19.5 billion ($54 million) of the total. However, Lánczi said that USAID — under the Biden administration — directed HUF 3.5 billion ($9.7 million) to fund anti-Orbán media.

It's what we do everywhere. Very honorable mention to Victoria Nuland.

President Barack Obama spent "$5 billion paying Ukrainians to riot and dismantle their democratically elected government.

That’s what USAID is for. Might as well call it CIAID, with unlimited funding straight from the US Treasury, bypassing congress by using NGO front crap.

The evil USAID needs to be totally defunded and shut down. If the skanks and fags in the Feral District court gang want to open a GoFundMe page for USAID, THEY CAN DO IT. Stop wasting American taxpayer money on that slush fund for scumbags!!!

You think those “color” revolutions are bad, look at our very own color revolution being carried out by the left through Georgetown University and Washington DC. It’s the true insurrection.
