    During a national television appearance, Le Pen said that Islamist mosques should be closed forthwith. “Preachers of hate must be expelled, Islamist mosques closed,” Le Pen declared. “Secularism has to be applied strictly and in line with our republican principles – those which oppose the incessant provocation and spreading of the sectarian word by Islamists.”

    “If I am elected president, I will put this battle plan against terrorism and penal weakness into force immediately so that we can protect the French people, and so that France and the French republic can live on.”

    Le Pen said she would call for a return to French sovereignty, a resurrection of national borders, and a rejection of the European Union’s open-border Schengen zone.

    “I will ask solemnly for the restoration of our effective pre-Schengen borders and for the immediate administrative and penal treatment of ISIS cases; in other words, of all individuals present on French soil who are known for their adhesion to enemy ideologies,” she said.

    “We have to immediately introduce the expulsion of foreign cases, accelerated action for the loss of nationality for those with dual-nationality, and their immediate expulsion to their country of origin.”

    The suspect of Thursday’s attack in Paris, Karim Cheurfi, was an ISIS terrorist also known as ‘Abu Yousuf al-Belgiki’ (The Belgian), who had already been convicted of attempting to murder police officers in 2001, but was released from prison early after serving part of a 20 year sentence.

    French authorities, including the domestic security service, began a counterterrorism investigation into Cheurfi last month after they noted his increasing determination to establish communication with an ISIS fighter in Syria and Iraq, a source close to the investigation told CNN. Despite their investigation, they did not put him under surveillance.

    “I don’t want you get used to the Islamic terrorism, I don’t want us to tell our youth that they will live daily with this danger. I want to put a plan of attack against Islamist terrorism,” the FN leader said.

    Cheurfi was not only being investigated, but had been arrested again in February for attempting to secure weapons to assassinate police, yet he was able to move freely around the country.

    A new study shows armed French police, known as the Gendarmerie, support Le Pen over her rivals in the French presidential race, according to the Ifop polling firm, as they are faced daily with the danger of Islamic terrorism.

    Marion Marechal-Le Pen remarked on social media: “How does one explain to the family of the killed policeman and the French that the terrorist of the Champs Élysées, Karim Cheurfi, was at liberty despite a conviction for triple attempt of assassination of police and a suspicion of attempt of recurrence a few days ago?”

    “Xavier, 37 years old, would still be alive if lax justice had not released Karim Cheurfi, only 15 years after his 3 attempted homicides on police officers,” Marion said.

    The once mighty European left, who have tried to defend religious politics, is in sharp decline, Mark Blyth, a professor of international political economy at Brown University in the US state of Rhode Island, noted and “this is happening to all the major left parties in Europe”.

    “Second, they are also the ‘helper apps of neo-liberalism.’ They refuse to admit that they got that wrong and hurt their core. So they can’t learn from their mistakes. Think Clinton in the US,” he adds.

    Most polls show the French Socialists facing crushing defeat in the coming election on Sunday. The party of President Francois Hollande – which came to power in 2012 with 28 percent first-round support and 51 percent in the runoff – is now at 7.5 percent.

    “We are in a very bad situation, yes it’s true,” Socialist Party spokesperson Corinne Narassiguin told DW in an exclusive interview.

    Despite his long criminal record, Cheurfi was never placed under what is known as a “Fiche S” surveillance file by French authorities. Bernard Cazeneuve, French prime minister lamely remarked yesterday that “unity” was far more important than acting against terrorists: “In times such as these we have to demonstrate that France is united.”

    DESTRUCTIVE HAILSTORMS will become more frequent and violent with increasingly larger hail, predicted solar researcher Valentina Zharkova back in 2019 when she stated that it's one of many signs of an impending Grand Solar Minimum. This is exactly what we have witnessed this year in both Europe and the world. Here is the German town of Benediktbeuern in Bavaria after a hailstorm on August 26th. Almost all rooftops and cars were damaged. The centuries-old church and monastery were damaged for the first time ever. Interestingly, the monastery was rebuilt in 1699 during the Maunder Minimum. Combined with heavy rainfall, extreme weather will devastate a significant portion of our food production. For instance, heavy rainfall destroyed a quarter of all crops in Greece in just two days in September. However, mainstream media remains silent. Photo: X @safe0007/Sandor Feher

    NOAA Predicts Zero Sunspots for Almost the Whole 2030s

    CLIMATEThe United States' government scientific organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts zero sunspots from 2031 to 2040. This is an extreme situation that has not occurred in as long as humanity has been counting sunspots, and it leads us into uncharted territory in terms of our solar system. However, this prediction aligns with the warnings of the world-renowned solar researcher Valentina Zharkova for many years, who indicated in 2019 various signs of this catastrophic phenomenon, including the extreme hailstorms we have seen in Europe and the world this summer. The forecast and various observations this year give cause for very significant concern. In this unique analysis, Free West Media explains why.

    NATIONALIST COLLABORATION TAKES SHAPE. Six parties met in Budapest on August 26th to sign a joint declaration confirming the friendship and political unity among the parties. The goal is to either form a new group in the European Parliament after the EU elections in June next year or to reconstitute the existing Identity and Democracy (ID) group with the new parties.

    European Nationalist Parties Forge Cooperation Ahead of EU Elections

    EUROPEAN ELECTIONSOn Saturday, August 26, representatives of six European nationalist parties gathered in Budapest. The meeting was initiated by the Hungarian party Mi Hazánk and took place in the national parliament. Representatives of the parties signed a joint declaration that not only reaffirms the parties' friendship but also their unity on a range of complex political issues. A surprisingly clear and radical manifesto was established. The hope is that this cooperation will lead to success in the EU elections and eventually result in the formation of a group in the European Parliament. For Swedish nationalism, this meeting marks a success as Sweden, for the first time, has a party represented in a leading nationalist cooperation in Europe. Free West Media was present at this historic event.

    Turkey Believes Sweden Hasn’t Done Enough

    Sweden will have to wait a bit longer for NATO membership, according to Turkey's Justice Minister Jilmaz Tunc. First, Sweden must extradite the "terrorists" Turkey wants and stop the desecration of the Quran.

    Swedish Weapon Takes Down Russia’s Best Attack Helicopter

    The Russian attack helicopter Ka-52 is considered one of the world's best and has struck fear in Ukraine, where it has hunted down tanks and other armored vehicles, often beyond the range of many light anti-aircraft systems. However, it has met its match in the Swedish air defense missile system RBS 70, which has quickly led to significant losses for the Russian helicopter forces.

    Alternative for Germany held its conference during the last weekend of July in the thousand-year-old city of Magdeburg, located by the Elbe River in the eastern German state of Saxony. The first of the two conference days began with a strong program speech by the party's male spokesperson. Subsequently, party officials were elected and motions were addressed. The second day was entirely devoted to candidate selection and positioning for the EU election in June next year. Screenshot: AfD on Facebook

    Strong Confidence in German AfD

    Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a party conference on July 29-30 to select candidates for the upcoming EU election next year. EU Parliament member Maximilian Krah, belonging to the party's more radical, ethnonationalist faction, was appointed as the top candidate. The party's two spokespersons delivered powerful speeches criticizing the EU's failed migration policy and trade sanctions that isolate Europe and Germany from the rest of the world. They argued that it's time for the EU to return a significant portion of its power to national parliaments. However, they have dropped the demand for Germany to exit the EU.

    Maximilian Krah is one of the AfD politicians who is singled out as an ethnonationalist, as he has stated that there is a distinction between ethnic Germans and immigrants who have obtained German citizenship. Krah is a Member of the European Parliament and AfD's top candidate for the upcoming European Union election next year. Still image: AfD on Facebook

    The Establishment Wants to Ban Germany’s Second Largest Party – for the Sake of Democracy

    The rising popularity of AfD has raised strong concerns within the establishment. Despite lies and demonization in the media and isolation from the overall political establishment, the party continues to grow. Certain representatives of the party are accused of becoming increasingly "extreme," and in an unusual move, the influential weekly newspaper Der Spiegel demanded that AfD be "banned."

    FvD was quick to support the protests against covid restrictions. Today, the party also stands behind the farmers protests against the governments’ plans to close a big portion of the farms in the country for the sake of “climate”. The picture is from a protest against covid restrictions in Amsterdam in January of last year. Photo: Wion

    Dutch FvD break through the media blockade

    What is happening in the Netherlands? It is often difficult to follow events in other countries, especially when distorted by system media. We give Forum for Democracy (FvD) the opportunity to speak out on the political situation in the Netherlands and the staunch resistance they face in trying to save the country.

    The Ursula von der Leyen Affair

    After a criminal complaint in Belgium against the President of the European Commission, the so-called SMS-case, now takes a new turn. The judge responsible for the investigation will likely gain access to the secret messages exchanged between Ursula von der Leyen and Albert Bourla, CEO of Pfizer, at least if they haven't been deleted.

    Publisher of Unique Literature Worldwide Blocked by International Distributor

    Arktos has distinguished itself by publishing groundbreaking philosophers and social critics. Now, the publisher's international distributor has abruptly terminated the cooperation, and more than 400 already printed titles cannot reach their audience. There is strong evidence that the distributor has been under pressure, something that has also happened in Sweden. We have spoken with Arktos founder Daniel Friberg about the ongoing struggle for freedom of speech in a shrinking cultural corridor.
