    What does Act XI of Yellow Vests, scheduled for Saturday, January 26, in the province and the capital mean? Laurent Nunez, former Director General of Internal Security and now Secretary of State to the Minister of the Interior, has promised “total and absolute vigilance” on the part of the police deployed in the country on Saturday.

    The police will have to adapt to best respond to a multi-faceted dispute, which last week brought together 84 000 protesters, according to the Interior Ministry.

    For good reason therefore, in addition to the traditional processions of Yellow Vests that will be marching through the streets of major cities of France, a night event will be organised in Paris.

    The event, created by the group Nuit Jaune, was the brain child by one of the top figures of the protest movement, Eric Drouet. The organisers want to launch a “citizen’s expression without violence”.

    The Paris demonstration is set to take at Place de la République, where the movement Nuit debout had taken root in March 2016.

    On the police side, the instructions given by the Minister of the Interior, Christophe Castaner, are unequivocal: Police flashballs have already caused severe injuries among the protesters, but will be used again. The only difference is that the shooting will be filmed using pedestrian cameras worn by the police this time.

    Journalist David Dufresne described the serious injuries sustained by Yellow Vest protesters at the hands of police since the demonstrations began last November. Dufresne has been collecting video footage of police attacks on Twitter. He has posted over 250 incidents. Dozens of ordinary people have been mutilated, lost an eye or a hand.

    In Paris, more than 3 000 officers will be deployed, not to mention the reinforcement of a thousand BAC and other police units, and about 5 000 additional agents spread around national territory.

    “The feeling in the comments is that the demonstrations are good, but for most people this is not how things should move ahead,” said Drouet, who believes that people must continue to have processions for “the weakest”, those who “will not want to go down [to the street] if they do not feel safe”.

    Thus, a declared march should connect the Champs-Elysées to the Bastille via the National Assembly and Bercy. Another route suggested by Drouet, leaves the course of Vincennes, passes by the Grands Boulevards and the rue de Rivoli.

    Finally, a third route, proposed by Priscillia Ludosky, is a rally in front of the Foreign Ministry in solidarity with the Yellow Vests in remote territories. In response to a survey posted on his Facebook page, a majority of “subscribers” on Drouet’s page spoke out in favour of a 48-hour event, which would continue on through the night, as a “strategy of exhaustion”.

    The other top figure leading the Yellow Vests, Maxime Nicolle, has continued a tour of France. On Saturday, he plans to travel to Bordeaux, a meeting point of the Facebook event “Act 11: Bordeaux: Nocturne at Juppé” .

    Only about 500 people have said they wanted to participate so far, but it was in the march led by this popular personality of the movement that saw the most people gathering last week. In addition, another event, more unusual, has emerged: The call to create a human chain across France.

    Socialist mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo has meanwhile changed her position on the establishment of a municipal police in Paris. She is currently open to the idea, after an audit on the daily security of Parisians, she said.

    The Socialist mayor Hidalgo told Le Parisien January 25 that she has changed her mind on the creation of a municipal police in the capital.

    Currently, Paris is the only French city where police powers are in the hands of the Prefect of Police, under the authority of the Minister of the Interior. This will soon change, according to Hidalgo, who has proposed the recruitment of municipal police in Paris, after a security audit.

    Unlike London or Bordeaux, these agents will not be equipped with firearms or electric impulse pistols but with “batons, [gas] cannisters” as well as pedestrian cameras.

    She justified the constitution of a municipal police with the attacks of January and November 2015: “Since then, the national police is more mobilized on these subjects and there is a whole field which does not receive enough attention: the issues of public tranquility, everyday life and how to enforce collective rules.

    “Keeping streets clean […] fights against garbage dumps or vandalism […] ensuring public tranquility…” said Hidalgo.

    This municipal police is expected to start operating in 2020, according to the mayor, with the recruitment of a total of 3 400 agents.

    But according to Nicolas Bonnet Oulaldj, “the Ministry of the Interior will take advantage of this creation to further reduce the number of police in the area around Paris.

    “It happened everywhere in France, where a municipal police was created, there is no reason that it is different in Paris,” he continued.

    DESTRUCTIVE HAILSTORMS will become more frequent and violent with increasingly larger hail, predicted solar researcher Valentina Zharkova back in 2019 when she stated that it's one of many signs of an impending Grand Solar Minimum. This is exactly what we have witnessed this year in both Europe and the world. Here is the German town of Benediktbeuern in Bavaria after a hailstorm on August 26th. Almost all rooftops and cars were damaged. The centuries-old church and monastery were damaged for the first time ever. Interestingly, the monastery was rebuilt in 1699 during the Maunder Minimum. Combined with heavy rainfall, extreme weather will devastate a significant portion of our food production. For instance, heavy rainfall destroyed a quarter of all crops in Greece in just two days in September. However, mainstream media remains silent. Photo: X @safe0007/Sandor Feher

    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.

    NATIONALIST COLLABORATION TAKES SHAPE. Six parties met in Budapest on August 26th to sign a joint declaration confirming the friendship and political unity among the parties. The goal is to either form a new group in the European Parliament after the EU elections in June next year or to reconstitute the existing Identity and Democracy (ID) group with the new parties.

    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.

    Turkey Believes Sweden Hasn’t Done Enough

    Sweden will have to wait a bit longer for NATO membership, according to Turkey's Justice Minister Jilmaz Tunc. First, Sweden must extradite the "terrorists" Turkey wants and stop the desecration of the Quran.

    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.

    Alternative for Germany held its conference during the last weekend of July in the thousand-year-old city of Magdeburg, located by the Elbe River in the eastern German state of Saxony. The first of the two conference days began with a strong program speech by the party's male spokesperson. Subsequently, party officials were elected and motions were addressed. The second day was entirely devoted to candidate selection and positioning for the EU election in June next year. Screenshot: AfD on Facebook

    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.

    Maximilian Krah is one of the AfD politicians who is singled out as an ethnonationalist, as he has stated that there is a distinction between ethnic Germans and immigrants who have obtained German citizenship. Krah is a Member of the European Parliament and AfD's top candidate for the upcoming European Union election next year. Still image: AfD on Facebook

    The Establishment Wants to Ban Germany’s Second Largest Party – for the Sake of Democracy

    The rising popularity of AfD has raised strong concerns within the establishment. 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."

    FvD was quick to support the protests against covid restrictions. Today, the party also stands behind the farmers protests against the governments’ plans to close a big portion of the farms in the country for the sake of “climate”.

    The Ursula von der Leyen Affair

    After a criminal complaint in Belgium against the President of the European Commission, the so-called SMS-case, now takes a new turn. The judge responsible for the investigation will likely gain access to the secret messages exchanged between Ursula von der Leyen and Albert Bourla, CEO of Pfizer, at least if they haven't been deleted.

    Publisher of Unique Literature Worldwide Blocked by International Distributor

    Arktos has distinguished itself by publishing groundbreaking philosophers and social critics. Now, the publisher's international distributor has abruptly terminated the cooperation, and more than 400 already printed titles cannot reach their audience. There is strong evidence that the distributor has been under pressure, something that has also happened in Sweden. We have spoken with Arktos founder Daniel Friberg about the ongoing struggle for freedom of speech in a shrinking cultural corridor.
