Berlin’s high murder rate makes it an ‘unworthy capital’
The AfD has given the other parties joint responsibility for the high murder rate in Berlin. "Berlin has become an unworthy capital and a prime example of what decades of colorful old party rule has bad consequences," said Deputy AfD chief Stephan Brandner on Monday.

Berlin
Criminal clans and gangs have “made Berlin their own”. A study published by the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) at the end of December compared the number of murders to 100 000 inhabitants in 16 European capitals in 2016. Berlin came first with a value of 4,4. Paris followed with 2,4 and Brussels with 2,2.
According to the Berliner Zeitung, around half of those involved in this particular heinous crime were not German citizens during the period mentioned. Both 48 percent of the victims and almost 52 percent of the suspects were foreigners.
“The fact that more than half of the suspects have no German citizenship shows once again where uncontrolled mass immigration can lead to,” Brandner said. “This is not the Germany we want.”
However, there has been criticism directed at the work of the study’s authors. The DIW used the figures from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OSCE) for Berlin. The police crime statistics for 2016 show 37 completed murders. This would bring the value down to 1,0 instead of 4,4, the Berliner Zeitung calculated.
However, if one summarizes the number of “crimes against life”, one comes to 167 and thus the mathematically correct value 4,4. In this category, however, not only murders or homicides are counted, but also negligent killings, less serious homicides or killings on request.
However, over the course of Monday, the OECD announced that it would review the numbers. “The data on homicides are reported to the OECD by the national authorities. In fact, in international comparison, the murder rates appear unusually high for the German federal states,” OECD spokesman Matthias Rumpf told the newspaper. “We are checking whether the figures have been reported in accordance with the OECD standards.”
Berlin is also the bottom of another comparison among European capitals. The Institute of German Business in Cologne calculated the so-called capital effect in a European comparison at the beginning of 2019.
The value describes the loss of per capita economic output that a country would suffer without its capital. While per capita economic output would decrease without their capital in all other countries examined, it rose by 0,16 percent in the case of Germany.
In 2014, the city state Berlin had 37 368 live births (+6,6%), a record number since 1991. The number of deaths was 32 314. Almost 2 million households were counted in the city. Some 54 percent of them were single-person households, while more than 337 000 families with children under the age of 18 lived in Berlin, suggesting that foreigners – mainly Turks – and liberals were concentrated in the capital.
An estimated 350 000 Muslims reside in Berlin, making up about 6–10 percent of the population. In 2014 the German capital registered a migration surplus of approximately 40 000 people.
On 31 December 2015 the city-state of Berlin had a population of 3 520 031 registered inhabitants. Berlin in 2009 was estimated to have up to 250 000 non-registered inhabitants.

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."

The gang wars in Berlin’s no-go zones are not just the result of infighting by Arab clans, but by Chechen, Turk, and other ethnic criminal organizations as well. The German capital’s migrant areas are divided by ethnic and sub-ethnic affiliation, with drug trafficking, grand theft, the rackets, and other criminal activities providing a major source of income for the enclaves. The migration into Germany over the past several years of fugitive ISIS, al-Qaeda, and other jihadist fighters and supporters has resulted in an escalation of these gang wars. Experienced fighters, and weapons from the Balkans and Middle East, are now being used to fight for control of the lucrative organized crime operations not just in Berlin and other German cities, but throughout western Europe.
