EU paid 6,2 million euros to smuggling network
During a raid on the Mare Liberum, the Greek police found extensive evidence. No mainstream media outlet in Germany has yet reported on the arrest of 33 employees of German smuggling NGOs on Lesbos for “establishing a criminal association” and “smuggling”. The criminal network is funded by the EU.

On June 18, 2017, Italy documented how the Iuventa of the Berlin NGO Jugend hilft worked with smugglers off Libya and brought charges against the person responsible, Pia Klemp, and nine other crew members for aiding human trafficking. Since then, the NGOs knew that they had to find a way to find the illegal migrants on the high seas without making direct contact with the gangs of smugglers.
That is why the NGO Watch the Med/AlarmPhone was brought into being from the Berlin “cultural center” Mehinghof, which also serves as the headquarters of the NGOs Mare Liberum, Sea Watch and the research company Flucht & Migration eV, in order to give “those affected by distress at sea a second option” to relay “their call for help to the coast guards”, as their website notes. “A case is documented in real time and further support is mobilized if necessary. In this way – as far as possible – pressure is exerted on those responsible to prevent human rights violations such as pushbacks.”
The AlarmPhone telephone number is distributed “largely in direct contact with refugee communities in the important transit countries of North Africa and in Turkey”, according to the website.
The Greek authorities have been investigating for a year and have now been able to demonstrate how the German NGOs Watch the Med/AlarmPhone, Mare Liberum, Sea Watch and the research company work together to promote illegal migration to Europe. According to the research company, Alarmphone set up a control center in Izmir after the “closure” of the Turkish border in order to coordinate the illegal crossings to Greece.
According to the Hungarian government, the Med/AlarmPhone is supported by Soros-financed “Pro Asyl”, which works closely with tax-financed organizations such as the Evangelical Diakonie, the Paritätischer Wohlfahrtsverband, the German Red Cross, Caritas, the Arbeiterwohlfahrt, the Malteser, the Federal Association of Networks of Migrant Organizations (Nemo) and the umbrella association of migrant organizations (DaMigra).
The Med/AlarmPhone also maintains a “cooperation” with the Soros-related NGOs “Borderline Europe” and the European Council on Refugees and Exiles (ECRE), which are financed from the EU budget.
Borderline Europe received 140 250 euros from the EU in 2015 for the project “Controversies in European Migration Policy – Granting Protection Versus Border Security” and in 2017 145 000 euros for the project “Bridges instead of walls – Strategies against the stigmatization of refugees”. The European Council on Refugees and Exiles was involved in projects from 2015 to 2019 according to the EU’s FTS financial transparency portal, which were funded to the tune of 5 970 210 euros. Of this, EUR 549 970 went directly to ECRE, and the remaining EUR 5,4 million were not broken down individually.
From 2015 to 2019, a total of 6 255 460 euros went to projects and NGOs related to “Med/AlarmPhone”.
The EU budget rapporteur Joachim Kuhs (AfD) told PI-NEWS: “It is unacceptable that the EU finances NGOs with the taxpayers’ money of hard-working EU citizens that have been set up by an EU country to set up a criminal organization and charged with smuggling. We will ensure that EU funding for human traffickers comes to an end.”

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."
