Vienna terrorist had a relevant criminal record
After the bloody terrorist attack in the middle of Vienna City on Monday evening, the main suspect, who had apparently announced the act on the web, has now been identified. According to information from the Interior Ministry, it is a 20-year-old ethnic Albanian who also had Austrian citizenship and was known to the security services.

Kujtim F. had a criminal record and was released from prison in December 2019. The ISIS supporter, who was armed, among other things with an illegal AK-47 assault rifle, was shot by WEGA near the Ruprechtskirche. WEGA a special unit of the Austrian police in the federal capital Vienna.
The suspect, who had posed heavily armed in pictures, was convicted in Austria at the end of April 2019 – for membership in a terrorist organization (Section 278b StGB). He was sentenced to 22 months in prison because he wanted to join the Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist militia in Syria. He was conditionally released early in December 2019 because he was considered a young adult and thus enjoyed the privileges of the Juvenile Court Act.
Also, while in prison, the young man participated in a deradicalization program and because of his “good conduct” was eventually released early, Heute.at reported.
According to the Austrian daily Krone Zeitung, Kujtim F. swore an oath of allegiance to the new head of the terrorist militia ISIS, Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Quraishi, shortly before the bloody acts. The assassin showed himself in the photo with a machete, a pistol and a Kalashnikov assault rifle. A fully automatic assault rifle was apparently also used in the attacks in downtown Vienna.
The fully automatic version of the AK-47 Kalashnikov is considered war material and, according to the Austrian Weapons Act, falls into category A (prohibited weapons). The terrorist is said to have obtained them illegally.
Shortly before the attack, the assassin once again expressed his sympathy for the ISIS terrorist militia. It is not yet known whether the postings also served as a call to accomplices to strike. The assassin’s Instagram account is now closed.
Four people were killed in the terrorist attack, and there are 14 others, some seriously injured. The Ministry of the Interior confirmed that several house searches were ongoing “around the perpetrator”. Several people have been arrested.
Sources told FWM that the city was almost empty with many shops that were closed. The shock was still palpable, even after several arrests.
The lawyer Nikolaus Rast, who had represented Kujtim F. in a hearing at the Vienna Regional Court, where he was sentenced to 22 months imprisonment in April 2019 as an ISIS sympathizer, said he could not understand why his client had killed at least four people in Vienna on Monday evening. “I would never have thought it possible that he would become an assassin.”
Kujtim F. previously wanted to travel to Syria to join ISIS. In Turkey, however, he was picked up by the authorities, prevented from crossing the border into Syria, detained and sent back to Austria.
“He came from a perfectly normal family. For me, it was a teenager who was unlucky enough to make the wrong friends. If he had not gone to a mosque but to boxing, he would have become a boxer,” said Rast.
But the name and origin of the assassin indicate that he belonged to the Albanian minority in North Macedonia. As local media reported on Tuesday, he came from the village of Celopek near the city of Tetovo. The area is almost exclusively inhabited by ethnic Albanians. This minority makes up around 25 percent of the population of the small Balkan country and is largely committed to Islam while the majority population is made up of Orthodox Slavic Macedonians.
With the help of special units, the Austrian authorities have arrested twelve suspects, aged 16 to 25, and born in Austria, Kosovo, Bangladesh and Chechnya. The men born in Austria all have foreign roots.

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.

Turkey Believes Sweden Hasn’t Done Enough
Sweden will have to wait a bit longer for NATO membership, according to Turkey's Justice Minister Jilmaz Tunc. First, Sweden must extradite the "terrorists" Turkey wants and stop the desecration of the Quran.

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 Establishment Wants to Ban Germany’s Second Largest Party – for the Sake of Democracy
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."

The Ursula von der Leyen Affair
After a criminal complaint in Belgium against the President of the European Commission, the so-called SMS-case, now takes a new turn.

Publisher of Unique Literature Worldwide Blocked by International Distributor
Arktos has distinguished itself by publishing groundbreaking philosophers and social critics. Now, the publisher's international distributor has abruptly terminated the cooperation, and more than 400 already printed titles cannot reach their audience. There is strong evidence that the distributor has been under pressure, something that has also happened in Sweden. We have spoken with Arktos founder Daniel Friberg about the ongoing struggle for freedom of speech in a shrinking cultural corridor.
