    One of the main organisers, Iurie Rosca, who is a journalist, former politician and chairman of People’s University, opened the conference by reminding the audience of the history of the Chisinau Forum.

    He also introduced this year’s topic: Syria in Flames.

    Dear friends, ladies and gentlemen, good morning to everyone and welcome to the third edition of Chisinau Forum, entitled: «Beyond the Unipolar Moment. Perspectives on the Emerging Multipolar World”.

    Let me to introduce myself for the people from the different countries who are watching live our event. My name is Iurie Roșca, I am a journalist and publisher from Moldova and the chairman of People’s University which organized our current meeting. I am a former anticommunist dissident and current antiglobalist dissident.

    I would like to start our international conference by saying that the main characteristic of my country, Moldova, is her religious identity, Orthodoxy. More than 90 per cent of our citizens belong to the Orthodox Church. Without our faith we wouldn’t exist, we would be just a crowd of old style Homo Sovieticus or new style Homo Americanus. This is why I would like to ask your permission to start our event with the prayer Our Father in my native Romanian language…

    Thank you very much. And now let me say just several words about the origins of our initiative which is called Chisinau Forum. This idea was discussed back in 2017 by a group of friends from different countries who share the same conservative, traditional, anti-system and anti-globalist values. Russian philosopher Aleksandr Dugin, French writer and journalist Constantin Parvulesco, Italian Orthodox priest Nicola Madaro, myself and several other people decided to initiate this project as a regular international meeting which will bring together intellectuals who strongly oppose American hegemony,as well as Western supremacy, who contest the globalist agenda and who plead for preserving cultural, religious, ethnic and national diversity, for spiritual and moral values and for another, truly human, more fair and just society. Our conviction is that precisely this kind of cooperation between intellectuals from different countries can help the dissident voices to become stronger in our confrontation with dominant discourse which is shaped by global elites against the interests of our nations.

    And now, why did we choose Chisinau for the place of our meetings? Because it is situated between the East and the West, and because this land must never be seen again as part of the dividing line of our continent, nor as part of the geopolitical struggles between the great international powers. In our view, after the end of the unipolar moment of American hegemony, Moldova as part of our large motherland, Eurasian continent, must become the land of cooperation, of confluences, of complementarity between different peoples, cultures and traditions which belong, finally,to the same continental civilization.

    The first Chisinau Forum took place on May 26 and 27 of 2017 and brought together intellectuals from France, Italy, Russia, Moldova, Romania, Greece, Serbia, Georgia and Belgium. Among the main speakers at that time where Russian thinker Aleksandr Dugin, French economist and writer who is currently a MEP – Herve Juvin, Georgian opinion leader Levan Vasadze, Belgian civic activist Kris Roman etc. During our first forum we adopted a document which defines our conceptual profile. We called it The Chisinau Manifesto: “Creating the Greater Europe.A Geopolitical Draft of a Multipolar World”.

    Our second international event was held on December 15-16, 2017. The topic of that conference was “Financial capitalism and its alternatives for the 21st century. Contributions to the 4th Economic Theory”. The full video is available here.

    The second edition of the Chisinau Forum gathered an impressive number of leading intellectuals from many countries that put forward their vision on the current dominant economic and political model and formulated several key concepts concerning the alternative models to the prevailing greedy, unjust and perverse paradigm, which is globally imposed by the corporations.

    Unfortunately last year we lost the opportunity to have another forum here in Chisinau only because of me. I am talking about my prosecution by our authorities which had not any kind of admiration for my activity and are trying to put me in jail for some seven years. To be honest, I deeply disagree with their intentions. But I have no any hesitation to continue my struggle for values which are much more important than my freedom. Anyhow during 2018 our international team continued its hard activity by organizing public conferences and book presentations, by writing articles and making videos for our alternative media network.

    During these past three years, our team became larger and stronger, other famous dissidents form different countries joining our intellectual family. This way during last period we became more visible and influencing at the international level.

    Today, we are happy to announce the presence in our international event of friends who came to Chisinau from more than ten countries.

    The first day of Chisinau Forum will be focused on our main topic concerning the end of American hegemony and the perspectives of the nascent multipolar world.

    Tomorrow we will have two panel discussions. We will start at 9.00 am with the first panel,called ”Syria in flames”, by discussing the Western aggression against this country which started eight years ago as part of a wider military and non-military, media and economic war against the whole Middle East (Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Iran) and about all implications which are linked to this broad topic.

    Our second panel, which will be held tomorrow, is focused on our editorial activity. We will have the pleasure of listening to the speeches of several famous French authors who are now among us: Lucien Cerise, Youssef Hindi and Pierre-Antoine Plaquevent.  I am speaking about the authors of the books which were translated into Romanian and published by the People’s University during last two years. I would like to mention that among the French authors published by us there are also Jean Parvulesco, Ivan Blot, Herve Juvin, Jean-Michel Vernochet, Valerie Bugault and Jean Remy.

    A French historian who I admire very much and who is also today with us is Marion Sigaut. She will also participate tomorrow on our second panel. By the way, I hope to publish at least one of her books in the nearest future.

    And now let me to introduce you my colleagues who will be the co-moderators of our event. Daria Dugina, from Russia, she is a historian of philosophy, Paul Ghițiu, a Romanian writer, journalist, film maker and politician, and Youssef Hindi, French historian of religions and geopolitical analyst.

    And now I would like to invite you to listen to the speeches of our friends.

    Thank you for kind your attention.

    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.

The document primarily expresses care and advice and was read aloud in Catholic churches in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland. Cardinal Anders Arborelius, Bishop of Stockholm, is one of the signatories of the document.
