Riots break out in Stockholm’s immigrant suburb

Last night Dagbladet and Expressen reported that riots broke out in the highly immigrant concentrated Stockholm suburb of Rinkeby. The suburb has earned the nickname of “Little Mogadishu” because of the number of Somalis living there.
Swedish police had to fire warning shots as hundreds pelted law enforcers with stones and burned cars, after crowds that had gathered in the center of Rinkeby, went on the rampage in what is described as “organised attacks”.
Strikingly, boys outnumber girls by about five to one in many migrant communities, says Tove Lifvendahl. In June 2010, Rinkeby was the scene of riots and attacks against the local police station. Members of the ’60 Minutes’ news crew were attacked in 2016.
Sweden is struggling to integrate large numbers of Muslims. According to an AP report, which first ran on January 24, an al-Qaida-linked group is busy recruiting anti-government fighters among Somali youths living in Rinkeby. It is also reportedly the center of the recruiting efforts of al-Shabab, a group with ties to al-Qaida.
The reports of Islamic State recruitment drives, point out that the drives target not just public places, but happen inside Swedish government programmes. Svenska Dagbladet, exposed how some official schemes had been infiltrated by jihadists.
In Gothenburg a British boy was killed by a grenade attack, shattering a few illusions about Sweden. Last week’s murder of eight-year-old Yuusuf Warsame from Birmingham, visiting relatives, was particularly shocking. He got caught up in what Swedish police believe is a Somali gang war. Last year, a four-year-old girl was killed by a car bomb outside Gothenburg.
“Today, the gang environment is — well, I don’t want to exactly call it the Wild West, but something in that direction,” says Amir Rostami, an authority on Swedish organised crime who teaches at Stockholm University.
A freelancer at the Dagbladet newspaper described the situation last night as serious. “I’ve been in some turmoil, but this is something extra. It looks like a war zone here”, he was quoted as saying .
Freelance Photographer Janne Åkesson was at the site of the rioting Monday night and early Tuesday. “They threw stones at police and police fired warning shots. I got out when it was at its worst” he told Dagbladet. He added that there were many hooded youths. “It was very chaotic. I have seen much in Rinkeby: they burn cars all the time – unfortunately this was beyond the ordinary.”
“I do not know how many it concerned, but there will be several people anyway,” Lars Bystrom, spokesperson at the Stockholm police, told Expressen TV.
According to information in the Swedish media, the emergency services requested reinforcements from Sollentuna and Brännkyrka, but police EMS Units were blocked from entering.
Swedish police planned a bust in a “no go zone” to show the world what they’re dealing with. Try to make an arrest = 20 cars go up in flames

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.

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.
