An anti-immigration billboard campaign hits the streets of Brussels
A Hungarian counter-campaign has been launched against EU migrant propaganda spearheaded by EU heavyweight Guy Verhofstad, and is spreading on social media.

Guy Verhofstadt, a former prime minister of Belgium, and currently a leading member of the European Parliament, serves as the leader of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, a parliamentary group that advocates for Turkish membership in the EU and more concentration of power in Brussels.
Verhofstadt is relentless in his harsh criticism of Hungary, which he has identified as a threat to the international order. Last month he hired an advertising billboard van to drive around Brussels, and eventually to Hungary, promoting the message “Stop Orban”. The message is a personal attack on Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
When Verhofstadt started personal attacks on the Hungarian leader, a typical leftist tactic, he was not expecting a taste of his own medicine, however.
The Hungarian government reacted to the provocation of the pro-immigrantion politician and launched a counter campaign. Zoltan Kovacs, at a government spokesman’s press conference, explained that “this poster will be visible in Hungary in the next few days and then in Brussels”.
The Hungarian administration has since been mocking the Verhofstadt initiative with its own billboard van. Hungarian website Origo reported on the Hungarian advertisement: “Billboard that shows the truth to Verhofstadt hits the streets of Brussels.”
On the Facebook page of the Government of Hungary, it was announced that a van is on the streets of Brussels to draw attention to the consequences of Brussels’ policy that supports immigration.
While Guy Verhofstadt believes immigration is needed, hundreds of people have been killed in terrorist attacks, the Hungarian billboard reads. “This is insane!” the message on the Hungarian van concludes.
The politically incorrrect language used by the Hungarian government displayed on the billboard van, is standard in the Hungarian media, where creeping Islamization and jihad are openly discussed.
But while the Verhofstadt van is still going, the Hungarian funded billboard van was quickly stopped and banned by authorities in Brussels.
Csaba Dömötör, a spokesman for the Hungarian government, announced in a Facebook video that the van was stopped by policemen in the city and the driver was forced to remove the billboard.
Orban told listeners on the Kossuth Radio programme Good Morning, Hungary: “I see signs of exhaustion at the end of the parliamentary term”, but after next year’s elections to the European Parliament there will be new MEPs, and “I believe that the quality of democracy will improve.”
Regarding the issue of the so-called “migrant visa”, Orban remarked with irony that “it is rather funny” that a vote on an issue must repeated over and over again until the desired outcome is finally achieved.
“If I tried something like this here in the Hungarian parliament, I would face a rebellion not only from the opposition, but also from the members of my own parliamentary group,” he said.
He noted that no democracy – including in Hungary – is perfect, but that the variety in Brussels is even further from such an ideal. He confirmed that the Government will not tolerate anyone trying to destroy the country’s reputation and integrity, observing that “those who bite us will need strong teeth, because that is something which we shall not tolerate”.

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.
