Antifa trash AfD stand, viciously attack candidate
An AfD information booth in Schorndorf became a crime scene on Saturday. At around 9:45 am, Landtag candidate Stephan Schwarz was attacked by a mob from the left-wing extremist group Antifa. He was brought to the ground and beaten all over his body with sticks and kicked.

In addition to him, the attack by around 20 left-wing extremists was also directed against the other two information booth helpers, including the AfD member of the Bundestag Jürgen Braun. He was unharmed.
Another helper, who is almost 80 years old, was maltreated with sticks and thrown to the ground. As if by a miracle, he was unharmed. The information booth and material were completely destroyed.
Schwarz is currently in the hospital. It was not the first attack he has had to endure. In the 2019 local elections, he was also the victim of violent attacks by Antifa.
“It then happened very quickly,” Braun told Berlin weekly Junge Freiheit. “They came around the corner, shouted something and rushed towards our booth. That was a division of labour in the sense of organized crime.” The attackers had pulled up banners so that possible witnesses could not see the attack on the street.
“When the injured party, lying on the floor, tried to dial the emergency number with his smartphone, it was said to have been torn from his hands and stolen by a hitherto unknown person,” the police said. The 36-year-old had to be hospitalized with several injuries. “We hope there are no internal injuries. Mr. Schwarz is still in the hospital and will be examined for a longer period of time,” said an AfD member.
“The police were not on site at this time,” Braun said in a disgust. “Agreements were not kept, because the presence of the police was actually discussed.” This has “created a climate of hatred against the AfD” in the city. Schorndorf is “also not a random place” because the left-wing extremist scene, IG Metall and those who are politically responsible all have very close ties.
Officials later temporarily arrested five suspects, ages 18-25. The investigations of the Stuttgart public prosecutor’s office and the Waiblingen criminal police department are ongoing.
On the left-wing extremist platform Indymedia, the act was admitted and compared with a similar attack in Hanau a year ago. An AfD stand in Schorndorf had been “visited” according to the platform, “to make it clear one year after the right-wing terrorist attack in Hanau that right-wing agitation would not be tolerated and that they will be confronted by our protest”. The platform deemed it shocking “how much the nihilistic mantra of ‘free speech’ had etched itself onto the public discourse”. People had “no right to right-wing propaganda”.
There was also an anti-fascist attack on an AfD information booth in Reutlingen on Saturday. The Südwestpresse reported on the attack. Ingo Reetzke, the AfD state parliament candidate for the constituencies of Reutlingen and Tübingen, commented on the incident with a press release.
Numerous left-wing extremists tried on Saturday morning to surround an AfD information stand in downtown Reutlingen. Only through the rigorous intervention of the police could the mob be pushed back and thus was possible violence against the election campaigners prevented.
“It turns out that there are consequences when left-wing extremists are systematically played down by the established parties or even supported with taxpayers’ money. They then feel encouraged to use undemocratic means to disrupt the democratic competition between the parties and thus hinder the citizens’ decision-making process,” said Reetzke.
In this context, it is scandalous that the established parties are not distancing themselves from the criminal violence of the left-wing extremists, even though a corresponding application by the AfD municipal council group was introduced a few weeks ago after a similar attack on an AfD information booth. “If I am elected to the state parliament on March 14, the problem of growing left-wing extremism in the state will be at the top of my priority list,” said Reetzke in conclusion.

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 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."

One comment
Indeed, it is scandalous that Germany’s mainstream political parties aren’t even mentioning this. Of course, since the AfD is a threat to all of them, through being a threat to the sclerotic, undemocratic political system now in place in Germany, they would of course wish to AfD to go away. The fact that they have no objection to it being done by such violent means says a lot about the country’s poitical class.
