UK footballers take a knee for… exactly one police death in 2019
Footballers in Britain's first Premier League game since the Coronavirus lockdown took a knee before kick off, in an embarrassing display of virtue signaling about a “problem” which has been virtually nonexistent.

All players also now has the words ‘Black Lives Matter’ displayed on the back of their shirts, but there is no case for the claim that Britain is systemically or institutionally racist.
In fact, the only black person to have been killed by UK police in the whole of 2019 was the London Bridge terrorist, Usman Khan.
Meanwhile, knife crime in London had risen to a new high amid a nationwide surge in January this year, official figures revealed before the onset of the pandemic. Metropolitan areas including London accounted for a third of all knife crimes.
According to Metropolitan Police figures, 73 percent of knife offenders and 53 percent of victims are from a black or ethnic minority background, suggesting that not only blacks but Britons are also facing the same danger.
The Office for National Statistics noted that 15 080 knife offences were recorded in the capital during the 12 months to the end of last September. It is a two percent rise on the previous year.
The horrific statistics came as national figures released by the ONS showed a seven percent rise in knife offending across England and Wales to 44 771 knife crimes, an average of more than 120 incidents a day, in mostly black-on-black crime.
The statistics also show there were 98 attempted knife murders, 805 threats to kill with a knife, and 166 rapes or sexual assaults by a knife-carrying attacker. In addition there were 9 269 knife-point robberies in the capital and 4 671 crimes involving an “assault with injury or intent to cause serious harm” with a knife.
London once again had the highest crime rate with 169 offences per 100 000 people.
The Metropolitan Police provided its own figures, covering the slightly later annual period to the end of 2019. They showed a total for the year of 15 546 blade offences, amounting to a 5,9 percent increase in such crimes over the 12-month period.
But the multi-millionaires on the football pitch have never once mentioned the increasing problem related to ethnic knife crime. Instead, they performed the gesture to draw attention to Black Lives Matter which focuses only on alleged “police violence”.
Since August 2016, black American athletes have taken a knee to protest against the US national anthem linked to police violence and in 2017, some players began protesting against President Donald Trump.

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."
