Finland: Adult migrants posing as asylum minors
At least two thirds of asylum seekers in Finland posing as children are actually adults.
Published: February 4, 2017, 9:13 am
Finnish migration authorities have been carrying out tests to determine an applicant’s age, in case of doubt. Last year, medical tests to determine the biological age of migrants applying for asylum, have increased fourfold from the previous year, according to Finnish national broadcaster Yle.
Some 630 such tests were conducted in 2016, and in two thirds of the probes conclusive evidence found that the applicant was in fact an adult. According to preliminary data from the Finnish Migration Board (Migri) more than 400 applicants posing as teenagers were in fact adults.
Thus migrants who are misrepresenting their age, are on the rise. Applications by minors are usually processed as urgent, but the Finnish Migration Board in addressing around 3 500 applications from juveniles, now takes 10 months to reach a decision.
According to news reports Migri is currently proccessing around 400 children and adolescents who arrived in Finland without their parents.
The majority of adolescents who were granted asylum in Finland in 2016 were from Afghanistan (74 percent), Iraq (11 percent) and Somalia (6 percent).
Deportations from Finland also doubled last year compared to the previous year.
Demographic trends have changed considerably, with the number of births plunging below the number of deaths for the first time in 76 years, reaching its lowest point in the country’s history as an independent state. Since 1900, such adverse demographic trends have only been observed during the Finnish Civil War (1917-1918) and the Winter War (1939-1940).
Finland’s population however, keeps rising due to immigration. “Our traitor politicians are doing nothing in front of this Islamic invasion. We cannot accept this. Finland has been, is, and will also in the future be the motherland of Finns,” Eero Tillanen, told Finland Today.
The Finnish government sent dozens of police, border guards, customs and military to step up border controls in 2015, to hotspots where it had been possible to pass freely between Sweden and Finland since the 1960s, after angry Finnish demonstrators turned migrants away.
“If you look at the pictures of refugees that have arrived in Finland, you can see that most of them are men in under their 30s,” one Finnish demonstrator in the border town of Tornio said, “they have an athletic look, they are in good health. They look like they are taking a holiday from the special forces. It must be a conspiracy of some terrorist organisation and soon they start killing Finns.”
In a video, posted on a popular Facebook page also in 2015, Iraqi refugees warn their fellow countrymen against moving to Europe, Finnish television reported in the same year, but new arrivals have continued.
“You can tell the world I hate Finland. It’s too cold, there’s no tea, no restaurants, no bars, nobody on the streets, only cars,” 22-year-old Muhammed from Iraq told AFP in Tornio.
He had already travelled from Tornio to the capital Helsinki almost 750 kilometres south, and then returned again to Sweden. Migrants without proper travel documents are unable to take the ferries that run between Helsinki and Stockholm.
But in posing as children, the migrants have easier access to state disbursements.

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.
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.

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.
The Sun Drives Earth’s Climate, Not Carbon Dioxide
Top Researchers Push Back Against Climate Lies."The correlation is as clear as day," explained the Israeli astrophysicist Nir Shaviv, who was hailed by the establishment, before his interview with Forbes was hastily deleted. What he says contradicts the climate narrative, which points to humans as responsible for Earth's climate. Shaviv firmly asserts that it is the sun that controls the climate, something that can be scientifically proven in many ways. Contrary to the popular belief, the sun's influence on Earth has, in recent years, caused unusually cold and rainy weather, a trend that solar researchers warn will worsen significantly in the coming decades. The sun has exhibited an unusually low activity since 2016, during Solar Cycle 24, which was the weakest in a century.
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.
