Children’s book with warning: Hungarian government takes action against gender fairy tales
The Hungarian children's book Meseország mindenkié [Fairytale Land Belongs to Everyone] will in future only be available with an “instruction leaflet”. According to Prime Minister Viktor Orban, this will protect the children from the risks and side effects of absurd gender theories.

The publisher of the fairy tale book, which has been debated in Hungary for months, must now point out that it contradicts traditional gender roles. With this, the Fidesz boss is setting an example in terms of his “illiberal democracy”.
The Lesbian Association Labrisz published the collection of seven fairy tales in September. The presentation is initially reminiscent of the classic Hungarian folk tales. But the heroes of the new fantasy world are female, black, homosexual and disabled. The opponents are no longer just dragons or villains, but “antiquated images of society full of heteronormativity”.
The lack of innovation in the Labrisz stories is particularly tiring. These are based on well-known stories and only replace individual elements. This is particularly evident in the Snow White adaptation. The delicate, pale girl with blood-red lips, who gave the story its name, has given way to supposedly progressive ideas. Like in the original story, the mother looks out the window and longs for a child. But in this case, a child with black hair and golden brown skin – “Avarbarna” [Leaf brown] – is born.
Malicious stepmothers do not go well with the idea of “women’s empowerment”. Consequently an old white man, Avarbarna’s father, is now the villain who ultimately even wants to kill his own daughter.
Another story illuminates the life of a sensitive, homosexual gypsy boy. According to the lesbian association, this shows that men are also allowed to cry because they are vulnerable. Another story is about a deer who feels in the wrong body and would rather be something else. The main theme remains the same: The struggle of minorities for recognition.
In an interview with the radio station Kossuth in October 2020, Viktor Orban affirmed that he would be tolerant and patient towards “provocations” by the gay lobby. But for him there is a red line nevertheless: “Leave children alone!”
With the definition of father and mother as man and woman, the Hungarian government had already anchored a traditional interpretation of parenthood in the constitution in December and legally excluded “rainbow” family models. The warning on the fairy tale book underlines this commitment against so-called progressive ideas on a socio-political level.

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."

All leftist propaganda should come with appropriate warnings and an instruction leaflet on how to counter its effects on unwitting victims. Let’s hope such warnings become commonplace. Certainly there is a need for them in a society that continues to have a deficit in critical thought.
But it may be too late. Marxists, neo-Marxists, communists, and their allies have been at it since 1848. They’ve of course not only corrupted individuals, but whole countries, and generations.
