Allah's Willing Executioners

Hungary’s parliament has voted to appoint Anna Unger as head of the newly established National Asset Recovery and Protection Office (NVVH), an institution that could become a tool for political retaliation against the country’s conservative opposition parties.

Unger, a political scientist without any legal expertise, was appointed by Parliament on Friday, August 28th, and is expected to serve a six-year term.

The NVVH was established by legislation passed in July by the governing centrist-liberal Tisza Party, which won April’s election with a two-thirds parliamentary majority, ending conservative Viktor Orbán’s 16-year rule.

Prime Minister Péter Magyar has presented the office as a central element of his so-called anti-corruption campaign, dubbed ‘Operation Purgatory.’

The office’s powers include investigating public assets, accessing documents and electronic records, inspecting premises and financial accounts, and seeking the recovery of assets allegedly removed unlawfully from public ownership under the previous Fidesz-KDNP government.

The authority’s agents can enter private properties and seize documents without prior notice.

The opposition has argued that the legislation grants the NVVH unusually extensive powers with insufficient judicial safeguards. They have compared it to the ÁVH, the political police of Hungary’s communist era, warning that its powers could affect a large number of citizens and businesses that have received state or EU funding.

Fidesz MP Gábor Szűcs has warned that the office would wield extraordinarily broad investigative powers that could ultimately target hundreds of thousands of ordinary Hungarian families.

Opposition politicians have also attacked Anna Unger personally, calling her politically biased. KDNP parliamentary group leader Bence Rétvári questioned whether someone who had described millions of conservative voters as “brainwashed” could credibly head such an institution.

László Torockai, leader of the right-wing Mi Hazánk Mozgalom, accused Tisza of choosing a figure who would refrain from looking into possible corruption cases involving the new government.

The conservative daily Magyar Nemzet argues that the NVVH must be viewed in the context of the new government’s first months in office, accusing Tisza of focusing on political retaliation rather than governing.

Since taking office in May, Magyar’s government has already controversially removed President Tamás Sulyok through a constitutional amendment and introduced retroactive constitutional changes limiting the time an individual can serve as prime minister or MP—measures clearly aimed at weakening Viktor Orbán and Fidesz.

Meanwhile, the EU institutions remain silent—a sign that rule-of-law violations remain undetected when forces aligned with the Brussels establishment win power in any given EU member state.

The climate change narrative is losing its grip in Germany, once home of the most ardent believers.

The summer of 2026 was undoubtedly a record-breaking summer in Europe – apocalyptic reports about heat waves, forest fires, and rising temperatures dominated the headlines in the mainstream media. But in Germany, the home of climate fear-mongering, more and more citizens are apparently immune to this scare propaganda. Skepticism towards climate protection and the energy transition is growing. This is the conclusion of a study by the European University of Flensburg, which analyzed public attitudes between 2014 and 2023.

The researchers used 14 questions and statements on environmental destruction, the energy transition, climate policy, and the willingness to accept personal restrictions for environmental protection. The result is a rebuke for mainstream moral guardians: in 2023, almost two-thirds of respondents expressed doubts about climate change, climate protection measures, or their practical implementation. This figure was higher than in 2022. Data for recent years was apparently not included in the study – it would likely show a further increase in climate skepticism.

More than 90 percent of respondents answered at least one question more critically about climate protection than in the previous year. The remaining third presented a mixed picture: some respondents were more in favor of the “energy transition,” but at the same time less willing to reduce their own standard of living for the sake of climate protection.

Similar findings come from the Hamburg-based research project “Down2Earth,” which has been running since 2015. Anne Reif, a research associate on the project, explains: “We, too, observed a significant increase in climate protection skepticism.” According to her, agreement with statements about climate change, climate protection, and climate policy has decreased by a total of ten percent since the first survey in 2015.

The Flensburg study revealed that the most significant changes in attitudes were not among those who were already highly skeptical. Rather, the distance to climate change ideology increased precisely among respondents who had responded relatively favorably in 2022. The researchers write: “Our results show that climate change skepticism in Germany is no longer limited to a small but vocal minority.”

The researchers cite several possible causes, including the consequences of the war in Ukraine and the energy crisis since 2022. They also point to general weariness resulting from the ongoing crisis, the increasingly unpopular policies of the federal government, and the growing support for the AfD (Alternative for Germany). The strongest correlation, however, was found with political attitudes, particularly among respondents from the right-wing spectrum, who already have less trust in state institutions. Co-author Emanuel Deutschmann called for such attitudes to be given greater consideration in the future development of climate policy. But it is probably too late for that. After well over a decade of climate panic and the energy transition, Germans have simply had enough.

An illegal migrant being deported back to Bangladesh was given a first-class ticket for his flight, GB News understands.

The People’s Channel uncovered last autumn the astonishing story of Mr A, a homeless illegal migrant and convicted criminal who had been asking the Home Office to send him home since March.

Following the involvement of GB News, he was finally returned to his family.

However, it has emerged that he was issued with a first-class ticket from London to Doha, the first leg of his journey.

Mr A had come to the United Kingdom legally in 2013 on a student visa.

He failed to finish his university course and then stayed for years, working illegally.

He had later become homeless in Southend and turned to shoplifting.

By this point, he was keen to return home to his family in Bangladesh, where his father is ill.

However, despite help from former Tory MP Anna Firth, the current Southend Labour MP David Burton-Sampson and various local organisations, he was still stuck here when GB News interviewed him last autumn.

Sitting down with the People’s Channel, he said: “Who would love to stay in the streets when they can live in their house in Bangladesh?

“If you tell me, my flight is ready? I can go now. I want to go now. I’m ready to go.

“I have nothing, no one to worry here. I got everything back home.”

Asked why his family in Bangladesh cannot pay for a plane ticket home, the migrant said they could not afford it.

He added: “My dad is a heart patient. He had a stroke because of me.

“Being in this kind of situation.”

Though he was finally returned home, GB News understands it was with a first-class ticket.

The Home Office initially insisted this was incorrect.

However, the department later admitted “The ticket said first – which was an administrative error in the printing of the ticket.”

GB News has been attempting to get data on the costs of flights for illegal migrants and how many may have been sent first class since the start of the year.

Multiple Freedom of Information requests have been rejected on the grounds of cost.

The Home Office insists that despite a First Class ticket being issued, “Mr A***** departed in economy.”

GB News will continue to fight to learn whether other illegal migrants are being deported on first or business-class tickets.

The People’s Channel will continue to investigate the matter due to the importance of taxpayers’ money being spent wisely.

On today’s show, NCF Senior Fellow Rafe Heydel-Mankoo, Dr. Tim Aker (Academic Director of the Margaret Thatcher Centre), David Oldroyd-Bolt (Fellow at the International Reagan Thatcher Centre) and Connie Shaw (External Affairs Director at the Free Speech Union) discuss:

• Victims of migrant crime appeal to government to release the true migrant crime statistics. The Government is refusing.

• Should social housing be restricted to people who were born in Britain?

• Police arrest two protestors who held up signs saying “F*** Islam”. Do we now have a defacto blasphemy state in Britain due to fear of antagonising extremists?

Actor Woody Harrelson is among the signatories of an open letter asking Britain’s new prime minister to examine claims of COVID vaccine harm.

The letter is addressed to Prime Minister Andy Burnham and dated Aug. 28, according to the Health Advisory and Recovery Team, which published it as a second appeal to a new British head of government.

HART said the note is backed by more than 160 doctors, scientists, and other health professionals, plus a smaller group of public figures.

British cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra organized the letter, GB News reported.

Harrelson, 65, has previously criticized COVID restrictions and vaccine mandates. The letter lists him as an actor supporting a pause in mRNA boosters while safety questions are reviewed.

Other non-medical names on the document include actor Rob Schneider, film director Gurinder Chadha, former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash, and former England cricketer Dimitri Mascarenhas.

The signatories asked Burnham to back a full look at evidence on vaccine safety and effectiveness.

They also wanted a working system for people who believe they were seriously injured or bereaved after vaccination.

Until that review happens, they said the booster program should be suspended under the precautionary principle.

The authors argued that questions remain about heart problems, cancer trends, excess deaths, and long-term sickness since 2021.

They said vaccination should be studied alongside other possible factors, including delayed NHS care and lockdowns.

HART contended the official UK COVID-19 Inquiry did not fully take evidence on vaccine safety.

Burnham’s office had not issued a public reply in the first reports of the letter.

Malhotra has a prior public connection to Burnham, who once endorsed his diet book and has heard his vaccine concerns before, GB News reported.

The letter told the new prime minister he does not have to accept the authors’ conclusions to agree that the evidence should be examined.

The document is a political ask to a government that has just changed hands.

Whether Burnham orders a new inquiry, leaves the existing one in place, or ignores the letter is now a Downing Street decision.

A group of young Swiss conservative activists will go on trial next week and could face prison time for carrying a massive white cross that said “No Pride Month” into a Catholic church during an ecumenical pro-LGBT “pride” service in 2022 and later holding a sign protesting a “drag queen story hour.”

In a video posted August 27 on social media, three members of “Junge Tat,” a group of young Swiss conservative activists, spoke out about the decision by the Zurich Public Prosecutor’s office to charge and put them on trial September 4 for carrying a massive 2.4-meter white cross with the words “No Pride Month” into Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church during an ecumenical service celebrating LGBT “pride” in June 2022.

The Junge Tat members are also being charged for another incident that year when they held up a sign saying “family not gender ideology” during a “drag queen story hour” event, among other activities.

Some of the charges against the young activists include “racial discrimination,” “interfering with freedom of religion and worship,” and “violations of the Explosives Act.” The leaders of Junge Tat are facing up to 15 months in prison, with six months to be served, as well as nearly 50,000 Swiss Francs in fines.

“Is freedom of speech still upheld in democratic Switzerland? Certainly, for leftists, liberals, or the state broadcaster SRF. And for right-wing and dissident opinions?” Manuel Corchia, one of the group’s leaders, pondered in the video.

Tobias Lingg, another Junge Tat leader, continued, “For example, is it still allowed to say ‘family instead of gender ideology’ or ‘No Pride Month?’ Can you wear a cross with this inscription to a church service? According to the Zurich Sihl public prosecutor’s office, ‘No.’”

After declaring that they, as right-wing activists, are now being punished for “opinion offenses,” they delved into the absurdity of these charges.

“We are accused of, at a ‘Pride service,’ having attacked religious beliefs thematically and mocked the cross. We, who on that day placed a white cross with the inscription ‘No Pride Month’ in that service, are said to have mocked Christianity and the cross,” Lingg said.

Indeed, despite the “pride service” occurring in a Catholic Church, the Church has consistently taught that homosexual activity is mortally sinful and that homosexual inclinations are “objectively disordered.” According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, “Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that ‘homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.’”

“The church, which holds an LGBTQ service, should really ask itself again, who here is actually making fun of what?” Corchia added. “We stand by our words. We’re said to have disparaged the religion, in other words, Christianity, by placing a cross in a church.”

Langg then discussed their protest of the “drag queen story hour” featuring “gay men in women’s costumes” intended for toddlers.

“We wanted to show a small banner for the deluded parents with the words ‘There are only two genders,’” he said. “But since the organizer jumped in violently while we were unpacking the banner, and as always we wanted to avoid violence, especially in front of the children, we broke off this part of the action.”

“(Instead), we held up a banner … that read ‘Family not gender ideology,’” he added.

Corchia chimed in, “That’s why the prosecutor is accusing us of discrimination.”

“So, if, in the future, you want to voice your opinion about a ‘Drag Queen Story Hour’ and prefer family values instead of gender ideology, be careful that you don’t get charged,” he added.

Several leftist Swiss news outlets have noted that some of the Junge Tat’s members were previously convicted for logging into Zoom meetings at the Zurich University of the Arts and shouting Nazi slurs. While the group has been labeled as “Neo-Nazis” since this incident, it’s important to note that they have since disavowed these actions and the national socialist ideology.

A leftist German political party has equated evangelical Christians with Islamic jihadists.

In their official election platform, The Left Party in Saxony-Anhalt states: “The Left is committed to resolutely combating religious fundamentalism – whether of a Christian evangelical or jihadist nature – through intervention, educational efforts, prevention, and civil society initiatives.”

The Left is the legal successor to the SED (Socialist Unity Party of Germany), which ruled communist East Germany from 1946 until the fall of the Soviet Union in 1989.

“Equating so-called ‘evangelical’ Christianity with the inhuman and anti-Semitic terror of Islamist jihadism is an outrageous defamation of this branch of the Christian faith – which remains so diverse and vibrant to this day – in our country,” Christian Democratic Union (CDU) parliamentarian Thomas Rachel said in response to The Left’s program.

Rachel said that Pietism is characterized by “the Jesus-based commandment of absolute peacefulness, serious examination of conscience, and the spirit of consistent personal discipleship of Jesus Christ.”

Rachel is a member of the German Bundestag, the Council of the Protestant Church in Germany (EKD), and the Federal Government Commissioner for Freedom of Religion and Belief.

“It is outrageous to accuse evangelical Christians and church congregations – precisely in Germany, where, historically speaking, Pietism and the Enlightenment flourished side by side – of espousing a violent and anti-democratic fundamentalism that must be ‘resolutely combated,’” Rachel continued.

He argued that the Left is downplaying the danger of Islamism and seeks to divert attention from its “extremely problematic ties to Islamist individuals and circles, both within its own ranks and among its own electorate.”

As the successor to the SED, which, during its rule in East Germany, “discriminated against, spied on, and persecuted” Christians, dissidents, and civil rights activists, the party “obviously still has a great deal to come to terms with,” according to a CDU politician.

Barnet Council has approved the transfer of an independent Islamic primary school into England’s State-funded education system, giving the north London borough its first council-maintained Muslim faith school.

Barnet Hill Academy, in West Hendon, is due to switch from fee-paying to “voluntary aided” status on September 1. The school, which has operated in Montagu Road for the past 20 years, teaches pupils aged four to 11.

The decision was signed off this month by John Anthony, the council’s executive director of children’s services. Voluntary aided schools are almost entirely funded by the taxpayer while remaining under the control of a religious governing body.

The National Secular Society has written to the council objecting to the school’s uniform policy, which makes the hijab compulsory for girls in Year 3 and above. NSS chief executive Stephen Evans said “women should be free to choose religious dress”.

Under voluntary aided rules the school may select all of its pupils and staff on religious grounds. Its proposed admissions arrangements place Muslim applicants ahead of children from other backgrounds.

The council said the school would operate inclusive arrangements because it accepts applications “from children of all faiths and none”. It argued that Islam was not represented in Barnet’s State-funded sector, which already includes Church of England, Roman Catholic and Jewish schools.

Barnet recorded 47,700 Muslim residents at the 2021 census, just over 12 per cent of its population. A four-week consultation held from May 8 to June 5 drew support from every respondent, the council said.

Audited accounts show the school ran in-year deficits and held net liabilities for three consecutive years. The council has sought an indemnity covering liabilities incurred before the handover.

Pupil numbers are projected to roughly double to about 400 by the early 2030s once fees disappear, a forecast the council itself described as ambitious.

The NSS said little evidence had been produced that the effect on integration and community cohesion had been weighed, as council guidance requires. It also questioned how a school likely to draw its pupils from one religious background could be called inclusive.

Islamia Primary School in Brent, west London, became Britain’s first State-funded Muslim school in 1998 after a campaign lasting more than a decade. Faith schools now account for roughly a third of State schools in England, most of them Anglican or Roman Catholic.

Comparable arguments have surfaced elsewhere in Europe, where Muslim pupils make up 42 per cent of enrolments in Vienna’s State schools, according to figures from the Austrian capital’s education authority.

On March 6, a headline in the Andover Advertiser announced: “Man arrested after attempting to kidnap woman in Andover.” At 5:32 p.m. on March 2, a man drove a large white van into a woman in her 50s, jumped out, and tried to drag her into the vehicle. The woman was struck from behind.

The woman managed to fend off her attacker, who was named by police as 28-year-old Sean Haverty of Newquay, England. Haverty was charged with kidnapping with intent to commit sexual assault, assault causing bodily harm, and non-fatal strangulation. The woman was taken to the hospital with injuries to her face, knee, and wrist.

On August 26, however, the Telegraph published an update to the story. “A transgender woman drove a van into a lone woman during a ‘chilling’ attempt to kidnap her, a court heard.” Haverty was identified as Safiya Anna Haverty, and the press outlet used “she/her” pronouns to describe the would-be rapist.

At the beginning of the trial, Judge Rufus Taylor informed the jury that Haverty had changed his name and is “biologically male and presenting as a woman in court.” Natalie Cheesman of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) described Haverty’s crime: “This was a chilling attack on a complete stranger. Haverty drove to Hampshire before striking a lone woman with a van, dragging her towards the vehicle and strangling her.”

Once again, the press seemed confused as to whether to present Haverty as a man or a woman. Was he Sean, or Safiya? Was the crime an incident of woman-on-woman violence, or a male crime of violence and attempted sexual assault? (The BBC chose a middle route, noting the name change but avoiding pronouns altogether.)

Reduxx, which also posted a 2023 photo of Haverty as a bearded man who is clearly not attempting to “present” as female, noted that “public records and archived online profiles show that Haverty had previously presented exclusively as a man” and that a “Backstage acting profile for Haverty lists him as a male model from Newquay, Cornwall, and photographs on the page appear to match images he had previously used across his social media accounts.” Haverty appears to have begun identifying as a woman after his arrest.

The jury at the Winchester Crown Court found Haverty guilty of kidnapping, intentional strangulation, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, perverting the course of justice, and dangerous driving.

“Working closely with Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary, CPS prosecutors built a strong case using forensic and [automatic number plate recognition] evidence, mobile phone data and eyewitnesses to prove Haverty was responsible,” stated Cheesman. “We hope these convictions provide some reassurance to the victim that Haverty has been brought to justice.”
