Last Wednesday, May 15, Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico was shot five times as he emerged from a government meeting in Handlova, 90 miles from the capital Bratislava. Western mainstream media united in labeling the would-be assassin a “lone wolf,” echoing the phrase of Interior Minister Matus Sutaj Estok at the post-shooting press conference.
Skeptics quickly noted that Fico was the sort of leader that powerful forces might want to eliminate. The anti-Russian site Meduza seemingly agreed: “Since Robert Fico assumed his fourth term as Slovakia’s Prime Minister in October 2023, he has called Ukraine ‘one of the most corrupt countries in the world,’ stopped arms shipments to Ukraine’s Armed Forces, and promised to block E.U. aid to Kyiv.” The article approvingly cited expert opinion that Fico’s “statements about Ukraine mobilize radical segments of society.” Western mainstream media has been promoting the same theme, implying that the “radicalization” behind the shooting was Fico’s own fault.
Additionally, COVID dissident Meryl Nass noted that Fico is “ the first head of state in 2024 to openly reject the WHO’s 2 treaties…Remember too, Tedros was just in Slovakia to try and turn Mr. Fico.” Those who see the World Health Organization’s push for pandemic treaties as a back door to world government are naturally suspicious. They also note that Fico, following Hungary’s Victor Orban, is anti-immigration as well as anti-Ukraine-war.
Maybe it’s just a coincidence that a rare European assassination attempt happened to target a leader viewed as problematic by Deep State elites. The would-be assassin, a former security guard and uncelebrated versifier, might very well be a lone nut, or lone wolf, or lone poet, or lone-whatever-you-want-to-call-him.
Whatever the truth about the Fico shooting, it’s undeniable that history-changing attacks dubiously attributed to lone nuts have a rich history, especially in Eastern Europe. And last Wednesday, when Fico got shot, I was in the right place to meditate on that theme: The Hungarian National Museum in Budapest. The National Museum is arranged so as to present Hungary’s history from prehistoric times to the present. It’s a visual depiction, in the form of artifacts and images, of the narrative of Hungarian national identity.
Hungary’s sense of identity is unusually intense, perhaps due to its peculiar language. While its ex-Yugoslav (southern Slav) neighbors quarrel in the same language—Serbs, Bosnians, Croats, and Montenegrins can understand each other, for better or worse—Hungarians speak a peculiar tongue that is not even in the Indo-European family.
One of the reasons Hungary keeps electing “right-wing nationalist” Viktor Orban is a certain irredentism that grows out of the massive loss of national territory resulting from choosing the wrong side in the 20th century’s world wars. The 1920 Treaty of Trianon left Hungary with only 28% of its pre-war territory and 36% of its pre-war population, and those borders haven’t changed much since. If we accept the official story that World War II was caused by a lone nut, or wolf, who just happened to assassinate Archduke Ferdinand, present-day Hungarians can blame one crazy “radicalized” individual, Gavrilo Princip, for the extreme truncation of what used to be their nation.
But the famous assassination of the Archduke wasn’t the only history-steering “lone nut” shooting in 20th century Eastern Europe attributed to a radical Serb. Another was the 1928 killing of Croatian nationalist leader Stjepan Radić, which enflamed Croatian nationalism and the factional violence that would flare up around World War II and re-emerge in the 1990s Balkan Wars. As Wikipedia explains: “Following the political crisis triggered by the shooting, in January 1929, King Aleksandar Karađorđević abolished the constitution, dissolved the parliament, banned all ethnic, regional and religious political parties, and declared a royal dictatorship.”
Since the Radić shooting conveniently allowed King Aleksandar to consolidate power, “conspiracy theorists”—meaning those familiar with the phrase cui bono—have often wondered whether the king or his associates might have been behind it. When I posed that question during a guided “war tour” of Zagreb, Croatia last week, the tour guide, a local historian, noted that a great many people credit that theory, and that it did not strike her as implausible.
If King Aleksandar really was behind the Radić killing, he got a taste of his own medicine six years later, when another radicalized lunatic, Vlado Chernozemski, shot the king dead in Marseille. But while Chernozemski may have been a nut, or a wolf, or a poet, or whatever, and was certainly radicalized, he wasn’t especially lonely. A professional assassin originally in the pay of Macedonian and Bulgarian terrorists, Chernozemski was convicted and imprisoned, released in 1932, and immediately went back to work as an instructor for the Croatian terrorist group Ustaše, with which he was still associated when he shot Aleksandar.
When Will a Lone Nut Kill a Leader with a Drone?
Since assassinations can alter power relations and change history, powerful forces that stand to benefit have every reason to conduct them—preferably with “plausible deniability.” Terrorist groups are often cut-outs for state actors and/or wealthy individuals and groups, and the same is presumably true of lone nuts and wolves, as well as the patsies presented to us as such.
Conveniently, Fico’s alleged would-be assassin, Juraj Cintula, reverted to type and used a gun from close range, making his arrest easy and inevitable. But guns are an increasingly obsolete assassination technology. An assassin who hoped to have a chance of not getting caught, at least not right away—and who needed to penetrate tight security—might be expected to eschew guns and use a drone instead. For some reason this hasn’t happened yet. As Google’s AI explains:
There haven’t been any confirmed assassinations of world leaders using drones by radicalized individuals or terrorist groups as of today, May 19th, 2UAV4. Drone strikes are typically carried out by governments, with varying degrees of legality and controversy.
However, terrorist groups have been increasingly using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for various purposes, including surveillance and attacks. This is a developing trend and the possibility of a future assassination attempt can’t be entirely ruled out.
“Can’t be entirely ruled out” strikes me as an understatement. I would say that it can be almost entirely ruled in.
Coincidentally, I flew the first leg of my flight home from Budapest seated next to a young Belgian man who builds and races drones. If he wanted to kill a world leader with a drone, I am pretty sure he would have a reasonable chance of success. Fortunately he seemed a sane, decent, entirely unthreatening individual. But the same technology that he described to me is available to essentially anyone who wants it.
So why are crazies like Cintula still shooting leaders like Fico with guns? A cynic might say that it’s easier to pin the blame on the patsy that way. If Cintula were really a lone nut, and used a drone to attack Fico, it might be harder for the authorities to prove he did it, which would encourage “conspiracy theories.” The fact that drone assassinations happen all the time, and are always carried out by governments, would also tend to support the presumption that any drone assassination, even if presented as a “lone wolf” act, was in fact a government operation.
And we all know how much the authorities hate “conspiracy theories.” Bloomberg reports:
The European Commission said it’s “actively monitoring” the spread of fake news about Wednesday’s shooting Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico and warned it can slap Big Tech platforms with fines for failing to tackle disinformation.”
So don’t question the official narrative: “Fico was shot by a radicalized lone wolf and it’s Fico’s own fault for encouraging radicalization by failing to support Ukraine.” If you harbor any doubts, you will be “actively monitored.” And if you post your doubts on social media, the Big Tech platforms will be pressured to shadowban or deplatform you.
It’s almost as if there were some kind of conspiracy against conspiracy theorists. It must be my conspiratorial imagination acting up again to even entertain such thoughts.

The Lone Nut is actually a group of nuts. I call them the Evilarchy.
you didn’t mention the attempted drone assassination of maduro, or doesn’t guido count as a terrorist? oh yeah, i almost forgot trump had appointed him king of venezuela, so that was just government action, like the assassination of soleimani.
it’s probably all just coincidence, like raisi’s helicopter having a hard landing after coming back from azerbaijan. remember all swans are black now and always have been, so when orban gets shot next week, it’s just a coincidence.
Neither Princip nor Chernozemski were “lone” at all but were acting on behalf of organizations that sent them. They were both ideologically motivated and convinced the price to themselves would be worth it since the prospect of escaping was nil. One might consider someone going on a one way trip like that to be a “nut” but others might not. Cintula is alive and in custody so perhaps we’ll find out if he was sponsored. Or perhaps not. It appears that there’s a steady supply of such people out there who are available.
Meet CIA operative Benjamin Reuben… in Congo!
Very difficult to take seriously a person who would say something this silly. Most of the territory Hungary “lost” wasn’t populated by Hungarians, and never historically Hungarian; thus the 36% is a ridiculous statistic too, as a majority of the “lost” population weren’t Hungarian.
Notice how the coverages of the Skripal case and this assassination attempt have been utterly different in the West.
We could wonder if Dimitri Tsafendas, who assassinated the then prime minister of South Africa, Hendrik Verwoerd was a lone nuts or not? Some said he might be not a lone nuts.
https://hendrikverwoerd.blogspot.com/p/conspiracy.html
The same could be said about Jean-Baptiste Sipido who attempted to kill the Prince of Wales who wasn’t known yet as Edward VII in 1900. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Baptiste_Sipido
YOU’VE GOT TO BE SERIOUSLY STUPID TO BELIEVE THIS GUY IS A ‘LONE WOLF’.
It is Lee Harvey Oswald again. Nowadays the CIA has programs that can turn a decent man into a total psycho or push psychologically fragile people to commit atrocities.
Why do you think all these mass school shootings happen in the USA? Although int these case, it’s often the FBI behind it.
The only question to ask in the current case is CUI BONO? Who profits from Fico’s death?
1/ The WHO is first on the list because they want to impose two things by the end on May 2024 (and it’s not going too well for them as people have woken up :
– A so-called ‘pandemic’ treaty’ so they can get more money, more power and declare PLANDEMICS at will with their sponsors big pharma, Bill gtaes & co.
– Amendments to the IHR which, if passed will give the criminal director of the WHO dictatorial powers over all nations on earth.
2/ The US evil empire (aka the Jews) and their EU lackeys: they do no want sovereign nations that would stop sending money to their Ponzi scheme in Ukraine, or that refuse to bash Russia or push for more wars. They might alos want to send a message to any other leader that would want to do like Fico does.
3/ The EU, as Slovakia and others are now taking the same stance as Hungary, but it’s unlikely that backbone less EU would do anything without its masters approval first.
4/ The Jew dictator zelensky (helped by the CIA or not) for the same reasons, after all they are still the number one suspect for the Crocus Hall terror attack and they are involved in terrorism since at least 2014.
The scumbag who shot Fico will get 20 years for what he did, then after few years and before his term he will be released and then will be able to enjoy the money his stakeholder promised him if they don’t kill him before.
Another question is why did the Slovakian secret services in charge of Fico’s protection did the exact same the corrupt US secret services during JFK murder, leaving a lot of space for this to happen?
Why on earth is it almost always the good leaders who get killed?
Why is it that the media “lone wolves” never shoot Biden, Trudeau, Merkel, Macron, soros or any other subhuman scum like that?
The answer is simple: security is so tight that only complicity and well oiled organizations can do this kind of hit.
lone wolf, my ass!
I don’t trust New York Post either

Tsafendas was intelligent, self-educated and well-travelled as a sailor. He spoke several languages. He had political opinions that had him blacklisted by the old South African government, and governmental agencies in Europe kept tabs on him for loudly professing Communist sympathies. He was a clerical error away from being deported to Mozambique, his country of birth. He was given a menial job as errand boy in the SA parliament that was considered appropriate for a mulatto or a white of low intelligence at the time.
On the flip side, he suffered from paranoia, narcissism and other mental problems. He was the lovechild of a wealthy Greek merchant and a Swazi maid, rejected by his white family and sent to live with a grandmother in Egypt and rejected by family again after her death. He was trying for a long time to follow his father who had immigrated to South Africa with his(white) family. Tsafendas’ (Tsafendakis) mental problems were well documented during his times in Europe, he spent time on and off in several asylums in Germany and the Netherlands. Apparently he complained that a parasitic worm lived inside of him and was telling him to do things.
He likely had personal reasons for stabbing Verwoerd.
Further proof that even blacks are more sovereign, sane, and courageous than the nigger-saxons and their cuck vassals. Can you imagine an amerimutt-loving cuck in Europe even daring to look at his occupier?
Is this for real?
“The scumbag who shot Fico will get 20 years for what he did, then after few years and before his term he will be released and then will be able to enjoy the money his stakeholder promised him if they don’t kill him before.
He’s 70 years old, probably will die in prison if the EU and US powers that be don’t poison him in prison like they did the guy in a Russian prison about a month ago.
To add more on the table, it wasn’t the first time when someone have gone against Verwoerd. In 1960, another guy named David Pratt tried to kill him as well but he failed.

some tried to link then Tsafendas and Pratt got a common point by sharing the same psychologist.

> One of the reasons Hungary keeps electing “right-wing nationalist” Viktor Orban is a certain irredentism that grows out of the massive loss of national territory resulting from choosing the wrong side in the 20th century’s world wars.
Totally false. Let’s look at actual past election results.
In the 1990 election:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990_Hungarian_parliamentary_election
“The Hungarian Socialist Party, the former Communist party, suffered a crushing defeat, winning only 33 seats for fourth place.”
Not very surprising at that time. Moving on to the 1994 election:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_Hungarian_parliamentary_election
“They resulted in the return to power of the Hungarian Socialist Party, the former Communist party, under the leadership of Gyula Horn, who became Prime Minister. The Socialists achieved a remarkable revival, winning an overall majority of 209 seats out of 386, up from 33 in 1990.”
That’s a pretty rapid shift. Let’s go ahead to 1998:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998_Hungarian_parliamentary_election
“Although the Hungarian Socialist Party received the most votes, the then-liberal conservative Fidesz won the most seats. The successful breakthrough into parliament by the extreme right-wing Hungarian Justice and Life Party was also a major shock. ”
That indicates some conflicting trends, but still, we see the Socialist Party getting the most votes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Hungarian_parliamentary_election
“Although Fidesz remained the largest party in the National Assembly despite receiving fewer votes than the Hungarian Socialist Party, the Socialist Party was able to form a coalition government with the Alliance of Free Democrats.”
Similar comments would apply here.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Hungarian_parliamentary_election
“The Hungarian Socialist Party (MSZP) emerged as the largest party in the National Assembly with 186 of the 386 seats, and continued the coalition government with the Alliance of Free Democrats (SZDSZ). It marked the first time a government had been re-elected since the end of Communist rule.”
Ditto.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Hungarian_parliamentary_election
“In the first round of the elections, the conservative party Fidesz won the absolute majority of seats, enough to form a government on its own. In the second round, the alliance of Fidesz and the Christian Democratic People’s Party (KDNP) won enough seats to achieve a two-thirds majority required to modify major laws and the country’s constitution.”
OK, so that 2010 election is where we actually see the Right getting voted into power. Until then, it mostly seemed like the Left was regathering itself and moving ahead. Moreover, the same pattern can be seen all across eastern Europe (Poland, Lithuania, Bulgaria, et cetera). What happened?
In short phraseology, one might speak of the Soros-buyout of the political parties. That may be too simplistic because too much is often hanged on George Soros, but it has some truth to it. The ex-Communist parties of eastern Europe had, after 1990, simply taken up a classical labor party role, and they were winning elections with this. Sometime after 2000 or so, a whole host of European parties were in some fashion bought out and essentially ordered to focus all their attention on the European Union. They stopped running on actual traditional Left-wing issues and they simply adopted the view that progress was to come through the EU, no more, no less.
When they took up that perspective, the support which some of these parties had been building for a good while suddenly evaporated and this gave the opening to someone like Orban. But this had nothing to do with Trianon or any other old fogie issue which Rightists may like to dream of. It was simply that the Leftist parties had been bought out and this by default handed a victory to Orban.
Thanks. Was Tsafendas getting psychological help before the murder? As I understand he was down on his luck when he managed to enter South Africa.
The weird thing about Pratt is his choice of weapon, .22 caliber. People have pointed out that as a farmer he had to have been aware of it small “punch”. He shot Verwoerd in the face twice, maybe it was done in the spur of the moment when he saw Verwoerd attending the same public event. Pratt was by some accounts a liberal by standards of those times. Then again who walks around with a popgun in their pocket?
I have to add, most of what I know about Tsafendas comes from memory of local press, and a book by an artistic type of writer, Henk Van Woerden. I don’t remember any complaints about the author’s research into the life of Tsafendas. I read the Afrikaans translation of his book originally written in Dutch.

Some of it could maybe interest Mr. Barrett, there are descriptions of the author’s experience with Cape Coloured Muslim society in South Africa. There was also a London play based on the book.
– Fico blocked Slovakia weapons supply to Ukraine, spoke for cease fire and peace negotations
– Fico condemned war crimes of Israel
– Fico refused to sign the WHO World Health Organisation pandemic treaty
– Fico had denounced the covid lockdown rules, and called the covid ‘vaccination’ campaign a possible intentional genocide … this personally threatened EU chief Ursula von der Leyen, whose husband Heiko is in the covid vaccine business
– Fico opposes much of EU ‘neo-liberalism’ and NATO activities
also –
– Fico was shot down 8 days after meeting Azeri President Ilham Aliyev
Lots spooky with Azerbaijan, which is very close to Israel, which supplied them with weapons to defeat and ethnically cleanse Christian Armenians, Putin doing nothing
– Iran’s President and Foreign Minister were just killed after meeting Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev
– The 22 March Moscow massacre reportedly killing at least 145 was in the Crocus concert hall owned by the Azeri-Jewish-Russian Agalarov family
Not denying horrors of West-NATO-Israel, but Iran – like Russia & China – is oppressing minorities who want to separate, Kurds, Balochis, Azeris. The Iran crash took place over Iran’s East Azerbaijan province, Azeris maybe helped Israeli commandos go in & out?
The Zionists and their American, Azeri, and Kurdish slaves have indeed been active in that region.
If Cintula was indeed state-sponsored (even indirectly via a cut-out group), then he will not remain alive for long.
A “useful idiot” he may well be, but unless he truly knows nothing of those who manipulated him, he will be silenced, one way or another.
Princip and his fellow conspirators were all financed, trained, armed and smuggled into Bosnia by assets of the highest levels of Serbian Military Intelligence.
The assassination of Franz Ferdinand was absolutely an act of state by Serbia.
The real question remaining is whether Emperor Franz Joseph knew of and permitted the plot to proceed as a pretext then to declare war on Serbia.
(“One has not to defy the Almighty. In this manner a superior power has restored that order which I unfortunately was unable to maintain.”
Franz Joseph, upon hearing the news of his (disliked) nephew’s murder.)
Personally, I wouldn’t bet against it.
The Polish highlander, Janusz Waluś, didn’t.
Lone nuts are 1) fanatics / extremely pliable weak-minded individuals 2) recruited/groomed/trained/armed by judeo-masonry/intelligence agencies.
Do you think that Bosnian nigger Princip went out and bought a Browning pistol with his own money?
Fico’s ‘security’ was remarkably lax, just like JFK’s.
Says it all about the scum in Poland.
Actually most of the territory was historically Hungarian since the 10th century. Except if you are a “Slovak”, and subscribe to the ridiculous Slovak historiography that claims that the historical Kingdom of Hungary was something totally different from “Hungary”. Slovaks invented two different names for Hungary (“Uhorsko” and “Madarsko”) to underline this historiography.
The majority of the lost population wasn’t Hungarian, but about one third of Hungarians found themselves outside Hungary, the majority of them within 50 km of the new borders drawn. So no wonder that Hungary wanted at least them back, with the then majority Hungarian areas (and also Székely Land in Transylvania) as a minimum “revision”.
Some of the the scum, annacat ( https://www.unz.com/comments/all/?commenterfilter=annacat ) and her family, or this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_Michnik, left in 1968, for Sweden like those mentioned, but most for the USA, Canada, and Israel- steam is coming out of their ears, while the heads boil with the hatred of everything Polish:
https://www.dw.com/en/poland-marks-50-years-since-1968-anti-semitic-purge/a-42877652
A sham, which gave those who wanted to leave, a chance to do it.
The Soviet-Jew scum, like you, hates us with even more passion- for rejecting the socialist lies Russian peasants embraced.
And lastly, we have that scum of South Africa woman, of an unknown to me ethnicity ( Jewish ?), who pointed Janusz Walus to the police, and is responsible for his arrest.
Don’t you like hearing shots ring through the night? All those Jahmals in Chicago, who shoot themselves over drugs by the hundreds every week, are on your side of the barricade too- a stinking cesspool of scum is what all of you are.
“Poles racists, everyone will say that, and nobody here like black human”:
Off the top of my head, it looks to me like the Iranian elite liked to fly around in their ancient (probably pinched) Fatmerican helicopters so as to rub the Fatmerican elites up the wrong way. This came at a price. I mean vintage 70s style helicopters are nice but would you want to fly around in one? Unfortunately the helicopters were too ancient with not enough refurbishments and crashed.
Did the refurbishments use too many homemade parts? Did the Iranian elites think they were protected by Allah’s munificence? Did they place too much naive faith in indispensable Fatmerican technology? Were they vintage helicopter enthusiasts perhaps?
Why didn’t the Iranians just buy or solicit new Russian helicopters? That is the question.
I was clearly referring to the entirety of the Hungarian Empire, this is clear by what I replied to. No, it was not all Hungarian, not by far. That means the Kingdom of Hungary too, while a Kingdom officially and not an empire it did in fact rule over land not of ethnic Hungarian majority, even minority. It doesn’t matter what it called itself, it ruled over territory not its own.
Hungarians weren’t very kind to the people under their rule, and a little pushback after the cessation of the rule is perfectly reasonable. You can’t just push for land to conquer and expect after hostilities cease, following your loss, that there won’t be some reclamation. All the Hungarians in foreign territory had the choice to move to Hungary-proper, otherwise just relax and be friendly in their new home where they should’ve felt blessed to be allowed to stay.
