Mayor of Paris gives segregated black festival a thumbs up
The mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, announced in a series of tweets that a "clear solution was established" regarding the organisation of the Afro-feminist festival Nyansapo, banning whites from participating: It would continue banning whites.

This week Hiladgo declared apartheid, saying that that the all-black workshops would go ahead anyway: “The festival organised in a public place will be open to all. Non-mixed workshops will be held elsewhere, in a strictly private setting.”
The mayor has called for a black feminist festival to be banned earlier because she said it was prohibited to white people.
A “compromise” was found in segregation after the “firm intervention yesterday [Sunday] with the organisers”. But the Mwasi collective explained soon after that the segregation had in fact been planned since the beginning.
The Mwasi collective, which organised the afro-feminist event, was caustic in their response: “So, basically, our original program has absolutely not changed. We are now awaiting a formal communiqué from the Paris City Council, and a public apology,” the members of the association told Twitter.
Hidalgo on Sunday had called for the Nyansapo Festival in the French capital to be postponed, which is due to run from July 28 to 30 at a government sponsored cultural centre.
The event was promoted as “rooted in black feminism, activism, and on a European scale”, and 80 percent of the festival area will be set aside as a segregated “non-mixed” space “for black women only” according to its French website.
The English version of the site does not use the word “non-mixed” but translated the racial apartheid with “reserved”.
Hidalgo, a Socialist, had said on Twitter that she “firmly condemned” the organisation “of this event, prohibited to white people” and added that she reserved the right “to prosecute the organisers for discrimination”. It turned out to be a completely empty threat.
Police prefect Michel Delpuech said in a statement that police had not been advised about the event by Sunday evening.
SOS Racisme described the event as “a mistake, even an abomination, because it wallows in ethnic separation, whereas anti-racism is a movement which seeks to go beyond race”.
The Mwasi collective was founded in 2014 by a group of African women and mixed race people who felt the need to express their views related to “oppressions” related to class, gender, sexuality or religion.
Of the four distinct spaces, three are reserved for black women, black people, and “racialised” women.
Not only SOS Racisme and the Licra were indignant at the separatist principles, but also the Front National had questioned the mayor of Paris about this “festival forbidden to whites”.
The Afro-feminist collective Mwasi denounced the complaints as “a campaign of disinformation and fake news orchestrated by the most outdated extreme right”.
They added: “We are saddened to see some anti-racist associations let themselves be manipulated. They find themselves paradoxically on the side of racists to stigmatize those who pragmatically advocate for the values of equality and respect.” The collective published the added text on Sunday on its site.
It is not the first time that such apartheid and segregation made the news in France. In 2016, the organisation of a “decolonial summer camp” in Reims had promoted a “training seminar on anti-racism”, reserved for victims of what they called “state racism”, excluding white people.

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.

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."
