The far-left action group, known for its death threats against Sinterklaas, filed a police report against an organisation that promotes themed children’s parties. According to them, children between 2 and 12 years old are exposed to “racist stereotypes” because they dress up for the “Wild West”.
De Grauwe Eeuw says: “Cowboys are responsible for the genocide on America’s native inhabitants.”
A spokesman of TivoliVredenburg said he did not believe that the themed parties were racist. “We are a centre for everybody, but it looks like our society is changing and these sorts of events trigger heavy emotions.”
“In the future we won’t organise events with themes that could lead to polarisation”, he added.
It was meant as an innocent party, urging children not to forget a “mustache and lasso”, wrote the organization of TivoliVredenburg in its promotion in June last year.
Three months later, a report was filed against the pop venue in Utrecht. The extreme-left action group said the “racists” of TivoliVredenburg would “indoctrinate” children, in a press release.
The action group urged the municipality of Utrecht to conduct an investigation and demanded that the subsidy for the pop venue be discontinued.
On Twitter, the discussion took on Zwarte Piet-like proportions. “Another children’s party ruined,” many sighed.
Deputy Prime Minister Hugo de Jonge also intervened in the debate: “Let’s continue to be civil with each other,” he said on Friday after the Council of Ministers. “There have been all sorts of painful episodes in world history, but you can not brush that away by banning a children’s party.”
Migrant activist Anousha Nzume then joined in with accusations against whites because her own show was being threatened with cancellation at the same venue.
Nzume later reported on her Facebook that the management of TivoliVredenburg “Have admitted their ‘terrible mistake’, learned from it and won’t organise festivities like this in the future”.
Nzume, who has a Russian mother and Cameroonian father, wrote the book Hello White People a diatribe against “white privilege”.
One of her main complaints in the book was against two white boys who started a Turkish-style food outlet that was not really strictly traditional. In the Dutch daily Het Parool it was described how these two had lifted the concept of kebab to a “higher level” by serving avocado and chickpeas.
According to Nzume, that was a shame because kebabs have a “cultural heritage”, and therefore does not have to be adapted at all. And certainly not by two white boys. She said: “It is disrespectful to just take over a dish from another culture and to appropriate it. Especially if you have no idea of the original background of a dish and then talk about ‘upgrading’. White people make use of something that is not theirs, without benefiting people from countries where that comes from. And that is not allowed.”

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.

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.

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.
