The FLN, or National Liberation Front is a nationalist political party in Algeria. In fact, it was the principal nationalist movement during the Algerian War and the sole legal and ruling political party of the Algerian state until other parties were legalised in 1989.
On November 1, Emmanuel Macron sent his “most sincere wishes”… not to the French, but to the Algerians. On this All Saints Day for Catholics, the French president preferred to celebrate the history of the Algerian revolution against France.
This day, which marks the beginning of the “war of independence” against the French, is also called the “Toussaint rouge”, because of the deadly attacks by the FLN against the French, in 1954.
“For the Algerian National Day, I send my heartfelt greetings to the Algerian people and pay tribute to their spirit of responsibility at this crucial time for their future,” tweeted the president, referring to the upcoming presidential election, which will take place on December 12.
“I hope that our Algerian friends will be able to freely discuss future challenges”, he added. If this date symbolizes a day of glory for the Algerians, it also represents the terrible fate of the French. Indeed, on November 1, 1954, the war of independence was launched by seventy attacks, resulting in ten dead, including four soldiers, a teacher, a ranger and a taxi driver, and several wounded at thirty places on the Algerian territory, which was under French administration at the time.
This odd tribute of the President of the Republic, on this important date for the French Catholics, has obviously provoked an uproar. The chairman of the RN Bourgogne-Franche-Comté group Julien Odoul, who recently made a name for himself by calling out a veiled woman, said that this was a “moral fault” and an “insult to the place where our compatriots were murdered in Algeria”.
For the member of the National Office of the RN Jean Messiha, this tweet from the head of the State “thus confirms his stature as supreme leader of the antinational system directing France” .
MP RN Louis Aliot said that Emmanuel Macron “did not have a tweet for All Saints Day but instead sent a message to Algeria for the celebration of ‘Toussaint Rouge'” , deeming this attitude to be “incomprehensible”.
Aujourd'hui @EmmanuelMacron n'a pas eu un tweet pour la Toussaint mais a adressé un message à l’Algérie pour la célébration de "la Toussaint rouge" (ce jour-là en 1954, des attentats du FLN sont commis contre des Français et font 10 morts). Incompréhensible. pic.twitter.com/1tyQSn1JuW

The regional councilor of the Republicans Party, Virginie Calmels, said she “dared to hope that behind this tweet there was not a tribute yet to the FLN and the massacres committed on November 1, 54 against the French” .

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.

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."

One comment
The success of the Algerian “war of independence”, in realty a Cold War guerrilla action against a NATO member directed by the Soviets with the help of Arab nationalists, was a setback for the West and civilization in general. Since 1962 one of the most corrupt oligarchies, which served the guerrilla fighters, has continued in power. It has taken all this time for the Algerian public to finally mobilize to overthrow the last corrupt remnants of this self-styled and undemocratic elite, and hold it to account.
It says a lot, and nothing good, about Macron’s statement, which is crass and ignorant at best. He should instead be congratulating the Algerians for finally getting rid of the monstrosity that they have suffered under for 57 years.
