Mainstream strategy against AfD: Ignore and defame
Ignore and defame, has been the two-step treatment for new parties that threaten the established order in the Bundestag.

The AfD now seems to be in the midst of the defamation phase after being ignored for a long time. The politician most affected, is the deputy Mariana Harder-Kühnel, the candidate of the largest opposition party for the office of Bundestag Vice President.
In the newly-elected Bavarian state parliament, the AfD candidate – a deserving police director – was also refused her a seat at the presidium.
The “old parties”, as AfD parliamentarians often call them – to set themselves apart from the policies of the Union, SPD, FDP, Greens and Left Party – have shown a complete disregard for the current parliamentary reality.
“Each faction of the German Bundestag is represented by at least one vice-president or a vice-president in the presidium”, the AfD noted. But the majority in the Union, the SPD and the small opposition parties ignore the parliamentary reality, representing their old view of making participation rights dependent on political “good behavior”.
The notion is all the more absurd as there are zero reservations on the parliamentary record against the renowned lawyer.
This political narrow-mindedness in escalating the dispute over the interpretation of the Rules of Procedure, is a waste of time many AfD lawmakers argue, because it takes the focus off serious issues.
Worrying figures on the nature of employment, available from the Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland, an editorial network, were revealed after a request by the AFD parliamentary group to the Ministry of Labour.
According to these, at the end of March 2018, 47 percent of “refugees” registered by the social security system, were employed as assistants, 42 percent in a “professionally oriented activity”, three percent as “specialists” and seven percent as “experts” (whatever may be hidden in the term).
Plans are to be launched by the Cabinet next week, with the leading German industry associations demanding emphatically that “Germany must continue to be an open society ready to recruit foreign professionals” even though very few migrants are well-educated.
Ingo Kramer, the head of the German Employers’ Federation (BDA) has meanwhile claimed that Chancellor Merkel’s “integration” policies have been a great success.
But German workers will be interested to hear that they are being challenged by cheap labour from outside Europe.
In an interview with the Augsburger Allgemeine about deportation, Kramer noted: “That can not happen. The most important thing is that employers, together with their affected trainees and socially integrated employees, must go to the immigration office in good time and apply for a residence permit,” said Kramer.
Alexander Gauland, leader of the populist AfD, responded by saying that Kramer is “living on another planet”.
Gauland said German citizens are confronted on a daily basis “with the consequences of the irresponsible policy of open borders: growing housing shortages, rising rents and a never-ending series of terrible assaults”.
Employment experts have shown even more caution, as some 600 000 foreigners are currently recipients of social security payments.

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.

Despite lies and demonization in the media and isolation from the overall political establishment, the party continues to grow. 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."
