Free speech on university campuses are under siege from leftists worldwide who want to “no platform” individuals or groups whose views they deem “offensive”. Violence and aggression to shut down meetings and intimidate audience members have sadly become increasingly common.
Up to fifteen masked activists clad in black stormed into a meeting on Monday evening where King’s College Libertarian Society was hosting an panel event with guest speakers Carl Benjamin and Yaron Brook.
Benjamin, who uses the pseudonym Sargon of Akkad for his YouTube channel, is known for his anti-feminist views, and has been described as an “alt right” personality. Brook is chair of the Board of Directors at the Ayn Rand Institute.
The speakers were engaged in a discussion about Objectivism when the chaos ensued.
A group of people calling themselves London Antifa stormed the meeting. Danny Al-Khafaji, the president of the Libertarian Society who chaired the event, said the attack to disrupt the speakers had been well planned.
“This was an extremely well organised protest. They jumped over the barriers, smashed windows and a door. The security guards on the door were attacked, two were hospitalised,” he explained to The Daily Telegraph.
“They stormed in, went straight to the stage, up to me and the speakers and started harassing us and the audience. Fire alarms went off – they had dropped smoke bombs. The security was nowhere to be seen”.
The masked thugs had some support from sympathisers planted in the audience, who stood up and began chanting “No fascists on campus”. Antifa unfurled a banner while shouting into a megaphone and physically attacking security guards, but their surrogates claimed that there had not been any violence.
Before the lecture, the organiser attended a meeting with a students’ union representative and a university official who told him they had carried out full risk assessment. “They told me I had to announce to the audience that a safe space policy exists at the start of the event. They said there will be several ‘safe space’ marshalls present,” he said.
“Safe space” marshals are paid by the students’ union to observe speaker events on campus to stop speakers from hurting the feelings of audience members. These officials are expected to hand out leaflets detailing their policy and take “immediate action” if anyone expresses opinions that breach the policy.
Comments about age, disability, race, religious faith, sexual orientation, gender identity or socio-economic status are taboo.
“The main failing of the university is that they did not provide adequate security, and they have created an environment that legitisimises this kind of strike.” The paid officials are required to put up posters noting that ‘This is a Safe Space’ and record any instances of offensive behaviour reported to them by members of the audience.
Instead, a threatening note was left by one of the thugs, reading: “The guy moderating the talk is on my course and he’ll have a difficult time once the strike is over.” The Daily Mail printed a screenshot of the note.
North London Antifa later hailed the intervention as a victory on their Facebook page.
The university’s president and principal, Professor Edward Byrne, expressed his “shock” with the “aggressive and violent” behaviour by Antifa which left staff “traumatised”, and some attendees physically assaulted.
“Some of the attendees and our security staff were injured when demonstrators – some of them masked and hooded – forced their way into the lecture hall,” he said.
“These events should absolutely be able to take place without fear of violence and intimidation. The injuries sustained by our security staff and the physical violence on display are totally unacceptable in any university community.”

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."
