Italian town explodes with anger over migrant Covid-19 cases
Twenty-five migrants who live in reception centers in Cosenza, a province in Calabria, have tested positive for the Coronavirus. It has pushed at least 3 000 citizens over the edge and protests are taking place in the streets.

Cosenza is witnessing a mobilization by its inhabitants against the new influx of migrants. Spontaneous demonstrations took place after the emergence of the news of the infected migrants.
Moreover, a regional bulletin has exposed the situation with extreme clarity: “The cases intercepted in Cosenza are in total twenty-nine; twenty-three are attributable to the reception center for migrants in Amantea, four are from the reception center in Rende and one it is the contact tracing of a subject residing outside the region. The remaining case is a native subject,” according to authorities.
News agency Adnkronos reported that 23 more cases were noted concerning the same province. People took to the streets, signaling the unsustainability of this situation, which is irremediably linked to the management of migratory phenomena and its consequences in times of a pandemic.
One place in question – the one affected by most infections – is the Ninfa Marina center: migrants who were welcomed during this lock-down period live there. Among these people, there are those who have contracted Covid-19, including asymptomatic cases. Medical investigations had revealed three such cases.
For obvious reasons related to the high probability that the virus had spread within the same context, citizens are angry. In the town Amantea, demonstrators protested on the state 18, which is also located in the Calabrian province.
Furthermore, in Calabria it is not the first time that anti-migrant protests have occurred. The feeling is that Southern Italy is experiencing atypical problems. Those who protest are demanding two measures: the displacement of migrants to other structures and the closure of the structures appointed to host migrants.
Over the past twenty-four hours, Calabria recorded a total of 32 new positive cases. And two thirds are migrants from the Ninfa Marina center.
To make matters worse, a young Nigerian, who lived at the Cas di Amantea, fled yesterday, despite testing positive for the new Coronavirus, only to be tracked down shortly after by the police.

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.

One comment
The inhabitants of Calabria, and other southern Italian regions are increasingly fed up with the Conte-2 government’s slavish obedience to EU policies on mass migration and open borders. As a result of the current govenrment’s willful subservience to Brussels, not only is the trans-Mediterannean “migrant express” between Libya and Italy allowed to operate, but boatloads of illegal migrants, many infected with COVID-19 and other contagious disease, are landing directly on the southern Italian mainland. As a result, the local population in southern Italy has increasingly supported the center-right opposition, and will likely support it in a general election. In the upcoming regional election on 20-21 September in Apulia, the center-right ticket is favored to win, and turn out the leftist government.
