Protesters in France, Greece, UK march against increasing vaccine coercion

Across France, more than 100 000 people demonstrated peacefully against the health pass. Thousands of opponents protested against the government's new vaccination regulations in several major French cities.

    On Saturday, July 17, protests were organized throughout France, after Emmanuel Macron announced the coercive health measures at the beginning of the week. Later this month, French citizens would need proof of Covid-19 “vaccination”, or a negative test, to access public transport, clubs, cafes, shops and supermarkets. Macron also stated that healthcare workers would face mandatory vaccination.

    As in Greece and Italy, vaccination would become mandatory for health workers in France by September. The unvaccinated would be largely excluded from social life unless they meet the Covid recovery exception or get tested at their own expense every 48 hours.

    The crowds were large, perhaps more than expected: In total, according to Le Monde, which consulted the figures of the Ministry of the Interior, nearly 114 000 people gathered in a little more than 130 parades throughout France. In Paris, in particular, two separate processions set off in the afternoon.

    One, from the Palais-Royal to reach the Louvre, had a strong political connotation: it brought together the former number two of the National Front, Florian Philippot, the president of Debout La France, Nicolas Dupond-Aignan and the anti-vaccine lawyer Fabrice Di Vizio. At the end of the afternoon, Florian Philippot announced that his teams had counted more than 150 000 people.

    This figure is clearly higher than that of the place Beauvau, and seems reinforced by the images of the parade.

    Another parade of leftists took place, according to 20 Minutes, in the south of Paris, and brought together former figures of the Yellow Vests – like the well-known Jérôme Rodriguez. On the whole, in Paris as in the rest of the country, the demonstrations took place in calm, although France Bleu noted some small scuffles in Strasbourg.

    Under a French draft law, customers and business owners would risk huge fines or even prison if they circumvent the new rules. As in France, the German state of Bavaria has said that only vaccinated people may be able to enter clubs later this year. The German government has however largely shut down Corona protests with arbitrary lockdown measures.

    The French government maintains that the measures are essential to revive their vaccine campaign — which slowed to a trickle after 53 percent received their first shots. “We must move toward the vaccination of all French people, because it is the only way to return to normal life,” Macron said. Within hours of his threat, vaccination booking platforms registered a surge in appointments since the unvaccinated may soon need to pay for their incessant Coronavirus tests if they intend to leave their homes.

    Despite the threat, many decided to push back against the Big Pharma onslaught: France is not the only country with active, visible and growing “vaccine” opponents. On Monday the Greek government announced they would be making Covid-19 shots mandatory for healthcare workers and nursing home staff. Protesters massed outside parliament under heavy police presence, calling on Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to resign. According to Reuters, some 40 percent of Greeks are fully vaccinated.

    In the UK, thousands have protested against coercive decrees to force people to get the experimental jab.

    “Covid passes” will soon be mandatory for service industries and large gatherings in Britain after parliament voted to force mandatory vaccination on care-home workers with 319-246 votes, and 80 abstentions. MPs from both main parties criticised the lack of time devoted to the bill as they were only given 90 minutes to read and discuss it before the vote. The bill included no impact study and the vast majority of MPs voted by proxy.

    The European Union has been gearing up for digital Covid certificates, with scannable QR codes to prove vaccination. The certificates were designed with the primary goal of tracking movement across borders as well as internally.

    In Israel the controversial “Green Pass” was abandoned after less than three months because the vast majority of citizens simply ignored it.

    In the US, President Joe Biden accused the unvaccinated of “killing people“. Some US states have nevertheless explicitly banned vaccination mandates or passports.

    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

    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. The judge responsible for the investigation will likely gain access to the secret messages exchanged between Ursula von der Leyen and Albert Bourla, CEO of Pfizer, at least if they haven't been deleted.

    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.

    Care prompts bishops to criticize transgender ideology

    The Catholic bishops of the Scandinavian countries presented an open five-page letter criticizing transgender ideology on March 21, just before Easter. The document primarily expresses care and advice and was read aloud in Catholic churches in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland. Cardinal Anders Arborelius, Bishop of Stockholm, is one of the signatories of the document.
