More than 160 000 people demonstrated on Saturday, July 24 in various cities of France against the health pass and the vaccination obligation of caregivers, with cries of “Liberty, freedom”, according to the Interior Ministry. In every major city in France, people marched against the new measures.
This is a significant increase because on July 17, the Ministry said 114 000 people had demonstrated. Not all demonstrations were declared in prefectures, but a Facebook page “Mouvement Citoyen Sans Étiquette” lists dozens of marches, suggesting that the numbers were far higher than officially recognized.
Images of masses of people angry about the #PassSanitaire circulated on social media. Health Minister Olivier Véran earlier tried to minimize the opposition to President Macron’s forced vaccination campaign, describing them as an “ultra minority”.

The biggest marches took place in Paris, but also in the south of France, in Marseille, Nice, Montpellier and Bordeaux. In the capital, the demonstrators split into three distinct groups.
Essentially made up of Yellow Vests, a first group gathered at the Porte de Champerret. Along the way, sporadic incidents pitted police and protesters in the 9th arrondissement, then near the Champs-Elysées after the march had ended, according to AFP journalists. Nine people were arrested, said Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin.
On the Place du Trocadéro, in the 15th arrondissement, several thousands of people, rarely masked, gathered at the call of Florian Philippot.

The French Senate voted last week to allow Covid vaccinations for 16-18 year olds without parental authorization. Florian Philippot, Member of the European Parliament (MEP), former Vice President of the National Front from 2012 to 2017 and founder of a new party, The Patriots in September 2017, said the French were cancelling their subscriptions to theaters, planning more huge demonstrations and also strikes as in Montelimar.
He commented dryly that the harsh measures in France against Covid “produces antibodies in the face of an oligarchic aggression of unheard-of violence”.
Véran has promised that “we will end the #PassSanitaire as soon as we can” but as Philippot pointed out, the criteria on which this will be decided remains a mystery.

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.

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.

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.

We have spoken with Arktos founder Daniel Friberg about the ongoing struggle for freedom of speech in a shrinking cultural corridor.
