‘In Berlin there are 8 500 open arrest warrants’
Berlin prosecutor Ralph Knispel has deplored the loss of authority of the constitutional state and the work overload that the police and justice are facing.

The security authorities are often unable to enforce arrest warrants because of staff shortages, Knispel noted. “In Berlin alone, we have figures that are so high that they caused a stir: Around 1 633 people have an open warrant. Counting all the arrest warrants, including those of the escaped prisoners, the wanted for custody, execution of sentences, expulsion or placement, could even be more than 8 500, as of March 2018, alone in Berlin,” he told German daily Die Welt.
Thus, the shortage of staff also led to 52 000 unfinished reports waiting for processing at the Berlin Forensic Science laboratory. This has resulted in the fact that DNA analyzes of home burglaries are only available after two or three years.
Knispel hit the headlines earlier after a Berlin clan chief had threatened him in the courtroom.
The sense of security of the population has decreased too. Knispel emphasized that there are areas in the capital, including on public transport, where citizens no dare to enter. “In addition, there are areas in Berlin, in which the police dare only go in groups, because simple radio crews are exposed to excessive risk.”
The prosecutor named the area around the Rigaer Straße and Liebigstraße in Friedrichshain. But also in immigrant areas Kreuzberg and Neukölln, police are regularly attacked.
Although Justice Senator Dirk Behrend has provided new jobs and means to fight crime, that will not be enough as there are no signs nationwide for a significant turnaround in staff numbers.
Germans, plagued by censorship on issues related to migrant crime, has seen their tax funding diverted to fight political opponents instead.
The former spy chief Hans-Georg Maaßen has meanwhile compared the quality of media in the Federal Republic to that of the former East German press.
When the Green politician Volker Beck asked Maaßen if censorship and state-controlled media were now similar to that of the former GDR, the spy boss answered: “Yes. Censorship takes place in the Federal Republic in 2019. Yes, media are controlled by the state. And everyone knows that.”
Wolfgang Herles, former head of the state-funded ZDF studio in Bonn, admitted at the beginning of 2016 that “there are indeed instructions from above”.
Concealment and downplaying is especially rampant since 2015 when it comes to migrant crime. In October 2015, for example, regional newspaper the Kieler Nachrichten reported that the state police unofficially urged journalists to conceal “relevant events” about the “refugee” situation.
In November 2015, a LKA official in the Hannoversche Allgemeine complained that the police were downplaying migrant crime, especially incidents in the shelters – for “civil peace”.
Last week, Georg Restle, the current “monitoring” chief, demanded in the Tagesthemen that the AfD be given “no room, no stage and certainly no voice”, thus calling for the complete ostracism of the opposition.

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.

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.
