French police did not confirm the attack which on Thursday morning right away. They only tweeted that an operation was underway in Trappes, and that there was now a security perimeter in place.
According to BFM, the attacker first hid in a house after stabbing people with a knife. He was later shot dead by police. The assaillant had reportedly shouted in Arabic “Allahu akbar”.
Trappes (Yvelines) is a migrant-populated poor suburb situated in an overall wealthy area west of Paris.
One person was killed and two others were injured, Le Parisien reported.
According to police sources, after the knife attack, the man in his thirties had entrenched himself, armed with several knives in a house in rue Camille Claudel, shouting “Allah akbar, if you enter I shall kill you all”.
It was when he came out at 10:20 am this morning threatening the police, that he was neutralized by shots.
The individual had been known to law enforcement since 2016 for direct involvement and public apologies related to terrorism. But the police has called for caution about the aggressor’s motives.
The police reported later that the operation was over but asked the public to “avoid the sector so as not to hinder the work” of the teams on the spot.

In July 2013, Trappes police station was attacked by a mob of French Muslims in response to the arrest of a man who had assaulted a police officer during an identity check on his entirely veiled wife (face covering is illegal in France).
Trappes is a center of Islamic fundamentalism. According to the French government, 67 people from Trappes have joined the Islamic State and others have carried out attacks inside France.
Leslie Shaw, President of the Forum on Islamic Radicalism and Management, told RT recently: “You couldn’t really consider Trappes as a traditional French town anymore. It’s a little bit like a state within a state.”
French daily Le Figaro said Trappes was becoming a “pole of attraction for people outside the city in search of strict religious commitments”.
Situated some 35 kilometers from the capital, in the middle of the privileged area in the west of Paris, Trappes in the Yvelines has seen a vast ongoing rehabilitation programme with many public facilities.
But French intelligence services call it “Trappistan” or “the French Molenbeek” as in the notorious Belgian town.
The Islamic veil here is almost a permanent fixture seen in the streets. “But we wear it too because we are in Trappes. Those who adopt it sometimes know nothing about religion,” says an exasperated young Muslim.
This pleasant-looking former communist bastion, now run by a socialist mayor, is not the only that has become a no-go-zone: La Verrière, Mantes-la-Jolie and Mureaux in particular, have become such areas.

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.

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.
