Ex-EDL leader Tommy Robinson also participated in the march, in which a high number of police officers moved to contain violence. Crowds had gathered in Trafalgar Square, next to the South African embassy, from around midday on Saturday.
Demonstrators from pro-British groups clashed with far-left, anti-fascist protesters in central London on Saturday. Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, had to be protected by police officers, as the demonstrations turned ugly.
Britain First and the English Defence League had gathered at Trafalgar Square, but the demonstrators spilled into roads around the square. Organisers described the event as a response to the deadly March 22 terror attack near Parliament.
On a Facebook event page, Britain First said “all patriots welcome to attend”, while the EDL said on an event page: “We will stand together and show we will not now, not ever, bow down and fear terrorists and terrorism.”
London’s Metropolitan Police imposed restrictions to try to keep the groups from clashing, and arrested 14 people for various offenses during the march and rally, when Unite Against Fascism ordered a counter demonstration. UAF protesters chanted “EDL go to hell”.
The protests came just 10 days after a black Muslim convert, Khalid Masood launched an 82-second rampage near Westminster that left four dead. Masood was shot dead by police after he drove his car into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge in London and then attempted to enter the parliament, stabbing a police officer to death in the process. Five people, including the attacker, died as a result of the terrorist act, while at least 40 people were injured.
Scotland Yard said on Friday that the information and intelligence available to the Met indicated a possibility of “serious disorder, serious damage to property, serious disruption to the life of the community, and to prevent the intimidation of local people trying to go about their business”.
Chief Superintendent Catherine Roper said: “The right to protest is a fundamental right in our democratic society, but this right must be balanced against the right of people to go about their day without fear of violence, disorder or disruption.
“Experience has shown us that when groups with conflicting views come together it can create tension and disorder, not just on the day itself but in the longer term.”
British intelligence services meanwhile revealed that international terror group ISIS may be plotting attacks in the United Kingdom, targeting the country’s airports and nuclear power plants. In a series of alerts within last the 24 hours they warned about the threat of terror attacks, local media reported.
UK intelligence agencies fear that ISIS has acquired the ability to smuggle explosives in mobile phones and laptops to bypass security checks at airports, The Telegraph reported.
Hackers may also try to bypass security systems of nuclear power plants by exploiting vulnerabilities in their internet defense. Energy Minister Jesse Norman told The Telegraph that the nuclear plants must make sure they “remain resilient to evolving cyber threats”.

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.
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."

London’s Metropolitan Police imposed restrictions to try to keep the groups from clashing, and arrested 14 people for various offenses during the march and rally, when Unite Against Fascism ordered a counter demonstration. UAF protesters chanted “EDL go to hell”. […] Chief Superintendent Catherine Roper said: “The right to protest is a fundamental right in our democratic society, but this right must be balanced against the right of people to go about their day without fear of violence, disorder or disruption.
Yes, and the simplest way of assuring this balance would surely be to make sure that groups with wildly conflicting views are not practicing their right to protest at the same time and place. So, the question then is, why the police are systematically letting scum like UAF obstruct the right to protest of groups like the EDL. The systematic character of this policy hardly leaves any other conclusion than that the police do not care about the right to protest at all, but rather implements a policy with the clear intent of pitting the “anitifa” against any attempts at peaceful protest against mass immigration and/or its consequences. That is, the police are in fact allowing the “antifa” groups to act as enforcers on behalf of the ruling regime. In the case of the UAF it’s made even more obvious by the fact that the organization is officially supported by the ruling mass immigration cartel parties, The socalled Conservative party, the socalled Labour party and the socalled Liberal party.
Unite Against Fascism (UAF) is an anti-fascist[ pressure group in the United Kingdom, with support from politicians of the three largest political parties in the House of Commons, including the former Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron and the late Labour politician Tony Benn. It describes itself as a national campaign with the aim of alerting British society to a perceived threat of fascism and the far right — in particular the British National Party (BNP) — gaining a foothold at local, national and European elections, arguing that “there is a real danger that the BNP could get a significant platform in elected institutions.” […] In 2006 David Tate argued that the Socialist Workers Party was seeking to dominate the UAF. David Toube claims that the organisations involved in the UAF avoid condemnation of antisemitism. LGBT rights activist Peter Tatchell has accused UAF of a selective approach to bigotry: “UAF commendably opposes the BNP and EDL but it is silent about Islamist fascists who promote anti-Semitism, homophobia, sexism and sectarian attacks on non-extremist Muslims. It is time the UAF campaigned against the Islamist far right as well as against the EDL and BNP far right.” The journalist Andrew Gilligan has claimed that the UAF’s reluctance to tackle Islamism is that several of its own members are supporters of such extremism. The UAF’s vice-chairman, Azad Ali, has links to al-Qaeda and is also community affairs coordinator of the Islamic Forum of Europe, which Gilligan describes as “a Muslim supremacist group dedicated to changing ‘the very infrastructure of society, its institutions, its culture, its political order and its creed from ignorance to Islam’ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unite_Against_Fascism
So, quite obviously, the police are simply enforcing the agenda of these three mass immigration cartel parties responsible for the islamization of Britain, by allowing groups like the UAF to obstruct protest from groups in opposition to the very same regime. In a democratic country, as opposed to countries ruled by criminally antidemocratic cartel parties, this systematic abuse of police authority would of course have been out of the question.
Washington, D.C., for some years has essentially withdrawn the protection of the law from rightists, White activists, etc. We have seen how AmRen Conferences can be shut down by terroristic threats. I was assaulted by a masked anti-fa thug at an NPI Conference in the Spring of 2016. She was arrested…but all charges were “dropped.” It would be nice to find out what has happened with the charges against the 6 thugs who beat a Red Ice cameraman bloody at the last NPI Conference and sprayed the Red Ice correspondent, Emily Youcis, with Raid, which potentially could have blinded her. My guess is that all charges were dropped against them too. There were other assaults as well, as I recounted in a previous article. The police, the FBI and other police agencies of the System are just not interested in punishing crimes committed against us.. Those with lingering illusions about the fairness of the System, the trustworthiness of the FBI and the police, our being part of the civic debate and so on should wake up and smell the coffee. Occidental Observer, 22 January 2017. The Assault on Richard Spencer: No Punishment for Crimes against White Activists.
And the fact is that, until last weekend in Berkeley, the antifa had been winning consistently. Police typically stood by and did nothing even as antifa were assaulting their victims and burning down stores. When arrests were made, little or nothing has come of it (see Sam Dickson’s “The assault on Richard Spencer: No punishment for crimes against White activists“). They are, indeed, pillars of the establishment. Or perhaps Storm Troopers of the establishment would be a better label. Occidental Observer, 18 April 2017. Auburn is already a success: We must have a public presence by any means necessary.
