Massimiliano Ursino, a member of the Italian anti-immigration party Forza Nuova, was violently beaten not far from the FN headquarters. The ambush took place a few days before the arrival of the national leader Roberto Fiore in the city of Palermo.

    At least six people surrounded the provincial head of Forza Nuova, tying Ursino’s hands and feet with packing tape before savagely beating him. It happened in the busy and central Via Dante, around 7pm, with open shops and people along the sidewalk.

    The attackers were dressed in black and had their faces covered with scarves. Among them, according to the witnesses, there was a girl who filmed the beating on a mobile phone. Taken to the emergency room of the Civic Hospital, Ursino’s face was covered in bruises and he was bleeding from a deep head wound.

    The Forza Nuova executive is the owner of a tattoo studio in the nearby Via Marconi. The party had earlier sent a letter to the city’s prefect and mayor asking not to authorize the rally against the Forza Nuova leader, Roberto Fiore, expected next Saturday in the Sicilian capital.

    In the afternoon, Forza Nuova issued a statement to respond to the Palermo anti-racism Forum. The forum counts several groups, with some twenty acronyms, including the ANPI.

    “Beyond the alleged ‘fascist danger’ of this election campaign preceding the assault of tonight, it has evidently been marked by constant intimidation, exercised in different forms by the institutional left and leftist social centers aimed towards those who do not think like them. In Palermo last night, under the home of one of Forza Nuova’s political candidates, a group of ten armed people had waited for hours. We do not want a return to the climate of the 70s and 80s, but we will not be cowed by this. The important thing is that we respect the wishes of the majority.”

    Ursino was in fact surrounded by half a dozen people and the group documented the beating with video images on a mobile phone.

    The provincial leader of Forza Nuova, had in the past also been the victim of other attacks and damage to his shop. “I was tied up in the street”, Ursino confirmed to Italian daily la Repubblica from his hospital bed.

    A militant from Forza Nuova, Giuseppe Provenzale, said: “We all know who they may have been, and mayor Orlando knows too.”

    FN had raised the alarm even before the attack in a statement: “In Palermo after the incendiary attacks occurred in February last year, again against Forza Nuova, and the recent armed raid on the headquarters of an area association, there is an alarming and one-sided attempt to raise the level of animosity, a few days before the arrival in town of Roberto Fiore, which can not be ignored.

    “After a campaign of hatred sown by the Espresso Group and followed by all the left including Liberi and Uguali, the communist hatred against Forza Nuova has been unleashed”.

    Ursino was arrested in July 2006 for having “kidnapped and beaten” two Bangladeshi immigrants in the center of Palermo in front of the Teatro Massimo after they were involved in a robbery. Ursino was sentenced to two and a half years in prison.

    In June 2005, with two other accomplices, Ursino had fought with a Nigerian in Via Candelai, also in the center of Palermo. The three were sent to trial for aggravated injuries committed for “racial reasons”.

    The Forza Nuova executive in 2008 participated in the packaging and shipping of shock packages, sent to various newsrooms, containing a doll soiled with blood and animal entrails for the campaign of Forza Nuova against the abortion Law 194.

    In February of last year someone tried to set fire to the Ursino tattoo studio causing damage to his tools. The FN executive told the police officers that he had heard the news from a friend of his while he was at the headquarters of the movement, in via Villa Florio, during a meeting.

    While he was there, someone threw a fire bomb at the door of the offices causing the blackening of the frame but without causing injuries.

    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

    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.
