Dutch legal experts comment on Wilders’ conviction
Paul Cliteur is a professor in Leiden, The Netherlands, a member of the Senate with Forum for Democracy, and the author of, among others, The State vs Wilders. Cliteur commented on the curious verdict recently announced against Geert Wilders.
Published: September 14, 2020, 10:44 am
Cliteur told De Dagelijkse Standaard that while the Court of Appeals in the Hague convicted Geert Wilders of group insult for his statement about “fewer Moroccans” he was acquitted despite the attempts by the Public Prosecutor to convict him for incitement to hate or discrimination.
Though it is naturally a disappointment that Wilders was not cleared of all charges, it is nevertheless a small success that now, all of a sudden, the incitement to discrimination on the grounds of race has disappeared. That has taken the sting out of the conviction, because only the group insult on the basis of race remains, argued Cliteur.
It is quite a backward move by the Appeals Court, he added, compared to the standpoint of the lower court. According to Cliteur, the next battle that Wilders is facing in the Supreme Court, will see the demise of the racial insult accusation, because the Supreme Court will, hopefully, acknowledge that Moroccans are not a race, but rather a nationality.
No Moroccan race and no Moroccan ethnicity exist, just a nationality, he said. And the legislature has explicitly not included that in the law. Thus, the zealots who want to include the concept of race can claim whatever they like, but, in doing so, they violate the principle of legality, and with it the rule of law, Cliteur concluded.
There remains the central problem however that the administrative elite, for one puzzling reason or another, is obsessed with labeling one group a “victim” while someone who spends the rest of their life on a jihadist death list can count on zero compassion.
PVV leader Wilders meanwhile reacted furiously after the statement by the Public Prosecution Service (OM) that the controversial rapper Akwasi will not be prosecuted for his inflammatory remarks on Dam Square. The Forum for Democracy supported Wilders.

“Total arbitrariness,” Wilders said. “I ask a question, stand in court for six years and am convicted, Akwasi threatens with brute force and goes free. The Netherlands has become a corrupt country.”
“Legally stupid,” said FvD MP Theo Hiddema, who is also a criminal lawyer. According to him, the decision of the Public Prosecution violates the principle of equality before the law. He points to similar cases: the lawsuit against Geert Wilders and the conviction of Jenny Douwes.
“Wilders asked a question about ‘less, less’ and Mrs Douwes tried to protect children from the activists of Kick Out Zwarte Piet, while this man has been harboring visibly violent fantasies for 10 years.”

More than 40 people had reported Akwasi for his comments on Dam Square during the Black Lives Matter demonstration in June. The rapper gave a speech saying: “The moment I see a Zwarte Piet in November, I will personally kick him in the face.”
Recently, old tweets from Akwasi surfaced in which he called for violence against Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet. In 2011, Akwasi tweeted: “Is anyone ever going to murder a Zwarte Piet or should I do it?” Also: “What am I provoking if I kill a Zwarte Piet?”
In 2012 he tweeted: “Zwarte Piet must die, man. Seriously.” A few months after an attack on Queen’s Day in 2009, the rapper fantasized about blowing up the steamboat that brings Sinterklaas and his blackface companions to the Netherlands every year.
The discredited public prosecutor Jacobien Vreekamp, who signed the decision on behalf of the Public Prosecution Service (OM) not to prosecute rapper Akwasi, until recently worked closely with Kick Out Zwarte Piet (KOZP) frontman Mitchell Esajas.

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.

The rising popularity of AfD has raised strong concerns within the establishment. 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."
