Doubts about the official Navalny narrative
International experts, journalists and politicians have all expressed considerable doubts and criticism about the official poisoning story of Alexei Navalny.

While the mainstream media and the Western governments have already committed themselves to the theory that the liberal Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny was allegedly poisoned on behalf of the Kremlin, more and more international experts and politicians are expressing considerable doubts about this version of events.
Navalny was transported from Russia to Berlin for medical treatment on August 22 with symptoms of poisoning. Since then he has been treated at the Charité University Hospital. The German government announced that the Kremlin critic was “without doubt” poisoned with a chemical nerve agent from the Novichok group. Chancellor Angela Merkel strongly condemned the “attempted murder by poison” and announced that an “appropriate” reaction would now be decided upon together with EU partners and NATO.
The German regional MP Gunnar Lindemann from the Berlin branch of the Eurosceptic AfD party sees “no big difference between the medical scene in Russia and Germany”. Medicine in Russia is “as good as in Germany”, says Lindemann. The German regional deputy assumes, “it’s just duplicitous propaganda against the Russian government. And I think for Germany it’s not good, because it’s not good for Russian-German relations, because we want to have good relations with Russia, to have some business, buy some resources, such as gas, that’s why it’s so important to us”.
For Lindemann, “Navalny is just a puppet of the US, who is paid by the Soros foundation, Clinton foundation, who paid for his studies. It’s not good to protect such people. The whole situation is just a political case, this is propaganda against Russian people”.
Johan Bäckman, Human Rights defender and associate professor of the University of Helsinki in Finland, too has doubts about the official narrative: “Immediately after the all-Russian vote in early July 2020, the media wrote about the bankruptcy and the closure of the Navalny fund. He had had some problems with funding and sponsors. His fund was a tool for anti-Putin agitation in Russia.”
Bäckman “came to the conclusion, that as a result of the all-Russian vote, as it became clear, Putin could be president until 2036, if that is his and the people’s will. That is, the anti-Putin campaign had lost its meaning. Therefore, immediately after the vote, Navalny’s fund stopped its activity”.
The Finish academic suspects, “that after the closure of his fund, Navalny wanted to leave Russia with the help of Merkel. Therefore, the poisoning could be a staged ‘fake’ in order to leave Russia. Thus, there is a reason for his evacuation – he could not just say ‘I’ve had enough’, ‘I have no funding, I’m leaving’. He couldn’t behave like that”.
Bäckman writes on Facebook: “I do not believe in any poisoning. I see this as a reason to send Navalny abroad. Now he is allegedly persecuted by the Russian authorities and because of that, evacuated to Germany. The information about the persecution and poisoning are completely untrue and fake.”

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.

Despite lies and demonization in the media and isolation from the overall political establishment, the party continues to grow. 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."

According to the standards of the German “Verfassungsschutz”, Navalny is undoubtedly a “right-wing extremist” because he is anti-Islam. Unfortunately, about ten years ago he embezzled a large sum of money and was therefore sentenced to several years in prison. Since then he has been politically unimportant. He had long since passed the zenith of his political career when an unknown perpetrator apparently mixed poison into his tea.
According to Die Linke politician Gregor Gysi “It could also be that it was an opponent of the natural gas pipeline to Germany. Or a commissioned opponent who knew: If you stage such a murder, which is then blamed on the government, it will worsen relations.”
One of the accusers, the Bundeswehr’s Colonel Professor Doctor Thiermann spoke at a public forum on “Syrian chemical warfare” sponsored by the US military contractors, General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin. Perhaps his benefactors have clouded his judgement. Curiously, this ridiculous poisoning claim was signed by a press agent, not a doctor or the head of the patient treatment team.
Does anyone actually believe that if Putin had really wanted Navalny dead he would be dead? Or at the very least, rotting in a deep dark cell in the Lubyanka or equivalent. This episode is just more ridiculous antics from the usual suspects playing their usual imbecile games while the world spins into chaos and the West spirals down the toilet. And the fact that arch-liar-traitor Merkel is at its center is like a flashing alarm signal on the head of a skulking suicide-bomber.
