Ukraine’s government has been rocked by a $100 million money-laundering and corruption scandal, just as the EU ponders further multi-billion support for Kyiv. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán says Brussels is “funding a wartime mafia” in Ukraine as the country’s justice and energy ministers resign over the probe. The Spectator says the investigation could even “bring down Volodymyr Zelensky” with some of his closest allies among the accused. Is Ukraine funnelling European taxpayer support through shell companies into private hands? On Thursday last week, Orbán said that emerging reports of corruption have “exposed” a “wartime mafia network with countless ties to President Volodomyr Zelensky”, adding: “it’s high time Brussels finally understood where their money is really going”. His damning social media statement read: “The golden illusion of Ukraine is falling apart. A wartime mafia network with countless ties to President Zelensky has been exposed. The energy minister has already resigned, and the main suspect has fled the country. This is the chaos into which the Brusselian elite want to pour European taxpayers’ money, where whatever isn’t shot off on the front lines ends up in the pockets of the war mafia. Madness.” Among others, Germany’s Alice Weidel, co-leader of the AfD, echoes the sentiment. Hungary’s foreign minister, Péter Szijjártó, warned that “corruption is out of control in Ukraine, so it’s no surprise that no one has ever seen a clear accounting of how the EU funds were actually spent.” [More at the link.] https://expose-news.com/2025/11/18/100-million-corruption-scandal-could-bring-down-zelensky/ In the states of Virginia, Ohio, and Illinois, everyday citizens are watching their electric bills explode due to the explosion of demand for electricity that comes with massive data centers. “The tech companies and AI labs are building data centers that consume a gigawatt or more of electricity in some cases, equivalent to more than 800,000 homes, the size of a city essentially,” reports CNBC. Welcome to the law of supply and demand. The more demand, the higher the cost for everyone, especially in a country where Democrats do everything in their power to limit any increase in energy supplies. And it’s not only data centers increasing everyone’s costs. When you have tens of millions of illegal aliens who should not even be here, consuming all that energy, your bills also go up. So what’s the solution to achieve affordable energy? Two things Democrats refuse to do: 1) deport the illegals and 2) increase domestic energy production. ...these Big Data centers should be powered by their own nuclear reactors in the same way U.S. Navy submarines and ships are powered by their own reactors. Raising British flags in Britain is not an act of patriotic civil disobedience but rather one of “intimidation”, a top Police and Crime Commissioner has argued. Member of Parliament for Norwich South Clive Lewis claimed that the “far-right” was behind the flag-raising campaign and suggested that those who put up an England flag in England are “extremists”. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian affirmed on Thursday that the country “has no choice” but to relocate its capital, warning that severe ecological strain has made Tehran impossible to sustain — even as the regime spends billions of dollars rebuilding its military and nuclear infrastructure and backing its terrorist proxies. In a televised national address, the Iranian leader renewed his call to relocate the capital, asserting that the deepening crisis has “rendered the city uninhabitable.” Pezeshkian said Iran’s water, land, and infrastructure systems are under such extreme pressure that relocating the capital is now unavoidable, adding that when the move was first proposed, the government lacked even a minimal budget to pursue it. “The truth is, we have no choice left — relocating the capital is now a necessity,” he said during his speech. More than a hundred children as young as ten years old will be subjected to clinical trials of transgender drugs in Britain, despite the government blocking puberty blockers for general use. Last year, a review from leading paediatrician Dr Hilary Cass found that transgender medical practices were “built on shaky foundations” and that Britain’s socialised healthcare system should not hand out puberty-blocking drugs to minors over safety concerns. The left-wing Labour Party government agreed and barred the practice for children. However, the Cass review also left the door open for further medical trials to be conducted, paving the way for an upcoming study of 250 supposedly transgender children between 10 and 15 years old after receiving regulatory approval this week, The Times of London reported. According to the paper, over half of the children will be provided with drugs for up to two years to suppress their natural development, like periods, breasts or facial hair. Their brain development and other indicators of health will then be monitored and compared with those of the children who did not take the drugs in their early adulthood. The King’s College team claimed that the study was necessary to provide allegedly trans children with the “information that they need to make informed choices about their care”. The study has sparked swift backlash, including from the political and medical communities. Biology in Medicine doctors campaign group, Dr Alice Hodkinson, said: “There is already clear evidence of harm, and there is no ethical justification for subjecting another 200 children to puberty blockers. Former Prime Minister Liz Truss said, “Just when you think transgender ideology has been vanquished, it rears its head again. Doing this to children is evil. It should be a crime.” In a letter to Health Secretary Wes Streeting, independent MP Rupert Lowe called on the government to step in and halt the trial, expressing “profound concern, and frankly disgust, regarding the decision to authorise a new clinical trial administering puberty-blocking drugs to children”.
