Migrants in Greece. Still from Ruptly video
Greek NGO caught smuggling illegals
A Greek nonprofit organisation has reportedly aided 70 000 illegals to enter into Greece since 2015. And the "nonprofit" earned half a billion euros per year by doing so.

On August 28, thirty members of the Greek NGO Emergency Response Centre International (ERCI) were arrested for their involvement in human trafficking. Another six Greeks and 24 foreign nationals have been implicated in the case.
They belonged to a network operating on the island of Lesbos. According to Greek police: “The activities of an organised criminal network that systematically facilitated the illegal entry of foreigners were fully exposed.”
The smugglers were involved in forgery, espionage and the illegal monitoring of both the Greek coastguard and the EU border agency, Frontex, to obtain information about Turkish migrant flows.
ECRI received 2 000 euros from each illegal immigrant it smuggled into Greece. In addition, its members obtained funding for “integrating refugees” into Greek society. That meant at least 5 000 euros per immigrant per year obtained from various government programs to advance education, housing and nutrition.
Greece is a country which has been struggling economically, while ERCI has earned considerable sums of money for being a conduit for illegal activities despite its stated mission.
In 2017, Greek authorities arrested 1 399 people-smugglers, some under the cover of “humanitarian” operations, while in the first four months of 2018, authorities arrested 25 594 illegal immigrants.
Sadly, immigration has taken its toll on Greek society as a whole. According to Greek police statistics, there were 75 707 robberies and burglaries reported in 2017. Of these cases only 15 048 were solved, while 4 207 were committed by illegals.
Greek police estimate that more than 40 percent of serious crimes were committed by illegal immigrants. Immigrants in Greece – both legal and illegal – make up 10-15 of the total population.
In 2016, almost half of the Greek prison population convicted of serious crimes were foreigners.
In August a 25-year-old Greek college student from Athens – returning from his studies at a university in Scotland – was murdered by three illegal immigrants.
The three perpetrators, two Pakistanis and an Iraqi ranging in age from 17 to 28, had already been flagged by law enforcement for 10 additional robberies in the area.
In an angry letter to Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, members of parliament and the mayor of Athens, the mother of the victim accused Tsipras of “criminal negligence” and “complicity” in her son’s murder.
“Instead of welcoming and providing ‘shelter and water’ to every criminal and dangerous individual with savage instincts,” she wrote, “should the state not think first of the safety of its own citizens, whose blood it drinks daily [economically]? [Should the state] abandon [its citizens] to ravenous gangs, for whom the worth of a human life has less meaning than the value of a cell phone or a gold chain?”

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.

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."
