1956 - The Hungarian Revolution - We Forgive, But Will Never Forget
The Hungarian Revolution of 1956 was a spontaneous nationwide revolt against the Stalinist government of Hungary and its Soviet-imposed policies, lasting from 23 October until 10 November 1956.
It began as a student demonstration which attracted thousands as it marched through central Budapest to the Parliament building. A student delegation entering the radio building in an attempt to broadcast its demands was detained. When the delegation's release was demanded by the demonstrators outside, they were fired upon by the State Security Police (ÁVH) from within the building. The news spread quickly and disorder and violence erupted throughout the capital.
The revolt spread quickly across Hungary, and the government fell. Thousands organized into militias, battling the State Security Police (ÁVH) and Soviet troops. Impromptu councils wrested municipal control from the Communist Party, and demanded political changes. The new government formally disbanded the ÁVH, declared its intention to withdraw from the Warsaw Pact and pledged to re-establish free elections. By the end of October, fighting had almost stopped and a sense of normality began to return.
Freedom gained victory over suppression and terror - but only temporarily.
On 4 November, a large Soviet force invaded Budapest and other regions of the country. Hungarian resistance continued until 10 November. An estimated 2,500 Hungarians died, and 200,000 more fled as refugees. Thousand were arrested, imprisoned and deported to the Soviet Union, many without evidence. Approximately 200,000 Hungarians fled Hungary, some 26,000 were put on trial by the Kádár government, and of those 13,000 were imprisoned.
By January 1957, the new Soviet-installed government had suppressed all public opposition. These Soviet actions alienated many Western Marxists, yet strengthened Soviet control over Central Europe, cultivating the perception that communism was both irreversible and monolithic. It showed the world that communism is not just an incoherent ideology, but also a brutal way of oppressing political and civil freedom, and wrecking the lives of hundreds millions of people.
Public discussion about this revolution was suppressed in Hungary for over 30 years, but since the thaw of the 1980s it has been a subject of intense study and debate. At the inauguration of the Third Hungarian Republic in 1989, 23 October was declared a national holiday.Category: UncategorizedLast Activity: April 18, 2023 06:01 PM

Some info taken from Wikipedia on Hummus:
Hummus (also spelled hamos, houmous, hommos, hommus, hummos, hummous or humus; see romanization of Arabic) is a dip or spread made from cooked, mashed chickpeas, blended with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic. Hummus is a popular food in various local forms throughout the Middle Eastern world.[1]

Apostates and Heretics of the Church of Climate Change
We are assembled in this place to voice our opposition to the idea that anthropogenic forces are inordinately contributing to unnatural climate change on Earth. Men of science, religion, common sense, and simple realists must come together to oppose this ridiculous hoax. We recognize that the majority of theories regarding "Man-Made Global Warming", or "Anthropogenic Climate Change", are complete bunk.
We reject invented political platforms disguised as science. We are apostates from the Church of Consensus. There is no consensus to be had in scientific research; there are no deniers, but truth-seekers. Whatever the outcome may be, we are dedicated to fact, and not to fear.Category: ScienceLast Activity: June 18, 2024 08:32 PM

Byzantine is Roman
For all who believe it is time for modern scholarship to shed the foreign, archaic, culturally degrading, completely ahistorical term "Byzantine" as the de facto label of the East Roman Empire from the mind and future school books. For the sake of not only the truth but for the sincere desire in understanding our past.
Members pledge to refrain from the use and application of the word "Byzantine" or "Byzantium" in association with the Medieval Greco-Roman Empire or its capital city properly known as Constantinople the 'Roma Nova'
Together we shall start a movement, a call for change by promoting the correct usage of 'Roman' and 'Greco-Roman' as it applies to the 'Eastern Orientation' of late antiquity and the middle ages.Category: HistoryLast Activity: June 18, 2024 08:31 PM
