Inside the covert operation to bring down the party threatening Viktor Orbán’s rule.
According to documents obtained by Direkt36, a secret operation was carried out to bring down the IT systems of the Hungarian opposition party Tisza.
IT specialists affiliated with the party planned to expose this, but then police officers, pressured by Hungarian secret services, raided them, apparently on trumped-up charges.
I came across this (german) research by investigative journalists today:
It's about a network of chat groups on #Telegram, where men chat about giving their girlfriends/wives some #drugs to make them pass out and then #rape them. *And* share videos/photos of that.
There is no indication that these are fakes.
From "what drugs do you recommend?" and "how much of drug X should I give her?" to "what do you want me to do with her once she's asleep?"
I think we (men) are lucky that women have much less of a tendency to be violent. Otherwise the world would be in flames right now.

Was passiert, wenn ein unscheinbarer Einladungslink zu einer Telegram-Gruppe der Schlüssel zu einem erschreckenden Vergewaltiger-Netzwerk ist? STRG_F-Reporterinnen Isabell Beer und Isabel Ströh recherchieren mehr als ein Jahr in diesem Netzwerk und entdecken eine Welt voller sexualisierter Gewalt, K.o.-Mitteln, krimineller Machenschaften. Sie gelangen in Telegram-Gruppen mit hunderten bis zehntausenden Mitgliedern - darunter auch Deutsche. Männer tauschen sich hier darüber aus, wie sie Frauen betäuben und vergewaltigen können, sie stacheln sich gegenseitig an und teilen Aufnahmen der mutmaßlichen Taten. Haben die Behörden diese Gruppen auf dem Schirm? Was passiert, wenn solche kriminellen Netzwerke unbemerkt bleiben? Die STRG_F-Reporterinnen steigen immer tiefer in das Netzwerk ein und kommen dabei Nutzern auf die Spur.
