Illegals resort to costly fires to raise their standard of accommodation

On the same day that migrants were convicted of burning down an asylum reception centre on the island of Lesbos, another fire broke out at a Greek migrant camp. This is one of many such arson attacks by illegals to obtain better accommodation at the expense of European taxpayers.

    Thousands of migrants had been living in a tent city called Kara Tepe (also known as Mavrovouni) on the island of Lesbos after the notorious Moria camp burned down.

    After the September 2020 arson attacks destroyed the Moria camp, Kara Tepe became the main camp on Lesbos for migrants and asylum seekers. The Greek government has since approved the construction of a new closed reception centre at Vastria (near the village of Nees Kydonies) to be completed by late 2021.

    On Tuesday, a fire broke out at Kara Tepe which required intervention by the fire service to put out. While authorities claim an electrical short circuit may have sparked the blaze, speculation is once again rife that the migrants may have set the blaze with the help of some NGOs. German photographer Rebecca Somer was in Moria when the migrant camp on the Greek island of Lesbos went up in flames. She saw how German anti-facist NGOs were allegedly co-responsible for the arson.

    Fires at asylum centres has become a common tactic used to force relocation. On the same day as the Kara Tepe fire, two migrants from Afghanistan were sentenced to five years in prison for torching the massive Moria camp where some 20 000 migrants had been living at the time. Four other migrants are expected to stand trial for the same reason.

    Migrants have been suspected or charged in recent fires at other asylum camps in Greece, Bosnia, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Several fires were set at the Reception and Identification Center for Asylum Seekers (KYT) on Samos in September last year, according to a report from EfSyn. Three foreign minors were charged with arson which caused “significant damage to the premises,” police said.

    When migrants set their camp on fire near the Bosnian town of Bihac on 23 December 2020, leaving a thousand of them homeless, the European Union (EU) announced that it would increase its humanitarian assistance by 3,5 million euros, calling migrant living conditions “unacceptable”. And it called for rebuilding the torched Lipa camp.

    In February, a dozen suspects were arrested by British law enforcement after a fire at a migrant camp in Kent. Napier Barracks, a former military facility, has been used to house hundreds of illegal “boat migrants” crossing the Channel from France.

    Protests over living conditions and an outbreak of Covid-19, resulted in migrants who “became aggressive, turned violent and began to set about destroying the barracks,” sources told the Daily Mail. Staffers were barricaded in a room as migrants smashed windows, damaged property, and set fires.

    This month, illegals were suspected of torching their camp in Melilla, on Spanish territory.

    Multiple shelters were destroyed in a blaze at the Rostrogordo Provisional Reception Center for Minors. Firemen have established that the blaze had been started with the help of accelerants, as flammable fluids were found to have been deployed on the structures, which were reportedly fireproof.

    “Two wooden cabins were set alight and it was only thanks to the rapid intervention of the firefighters, who arrived on the scene within minutes, that the forest didn’t go up in flames,” EuroWeekly News reported. “Even though the camp currently houses around 200 minors, the cabins, which are used as bedrooms, were empty at the time and no casualties have been reported.”

    Instead of denouncing the arson, Mohamed Ahmed, Melilla’s Councilor for Youth, Minors and Family, praised camp residents for “immediately” calling the fire brigade. While Spanish taxpayers have suffered a drop of 12 percent in GDP in 2020 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, they will be paying for new housing for migrants.

    A camp of army tents has been erected in Melilla to accommodate the never-ending deluge of immigrants, which one Spanish newspaper has dubbed the “Black March”.

    DESTRUCTIVE HAILSTORMS will become more frequent and violent with increasingly larger hail, predicted solar researcher Valentina Zharkova back in 2019 when she stated that it's one of many signs of an impending Grand Solar Minimum. This is exactly what we have witnessed this year in both Europe and the world. Here is the German town of Benediktbeuern in Bavaria after a hailstorm on August 26th. Almost all rooftops and cars were damaged. The centuries-old church and monastery were damaged for the first time ever. Interestingly, the monastery was rebuilt in 1699 during the Maunder Minimum. Combined with heavy rainfall, extreme weather will devastate a significant portion of our food production. For instance, heavy rainfall destroyed a quarter of all crops in Greece in just two days in September. However, mainstream media remains silent. Photo: X @safe0007/Sandor Feher

    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.

    NATIONALIST COLLABORATION TAKES SHAPE. Six parties met in Budapest on August 26th to sign a joint declaration confirming the friendship and political unity among the parties. The goal is to either form a new group in the European Parliament after the EU elections in June next year or to reconstitute the existing Identity and Democracy (ID) group with the new parties.

    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.

    Alternative for Germany held its conference during the last weekend of July in the thousand-year-old city of Magdeburg, located by the Elbe River in the eastern German state of Saxony. The first of the two conference days began with a strong program speech by the party's male spokesperson. Subsequently, party officials were elected and motions were addressed. The second day was entirely devoted to candidate selection and positioning for the EU election in June next year. Screenshot: AfD on Facebook

    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.

    Maximilian Krah is one of the AfD politicians who is singled out as an ethnonationalist, as he has stated that there is a distinction between ethnic Germans and immigrants who have obtained German citizenship. Krah is a Member of the European Parliament and AfD's top candidate for the upcoming European Union election next year. Still image: AfD on Facebook

    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."

    FvD was quick to support the protests against covid restrictions. Today, the party also stands behind the farmers protests against the governments’ plans to close a big portion of the farms in the country for the sake of “climate”. The picture is from a protest against covid restrictions in Amsterdam in January of last year. Photo: Wion

    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.
