French former Marine returns from Ukraine shocked
French ex-soldier Adrien Bocquet spent three weeks in Ukraine and what he saw there will be etched on his mind forever, he said. Once back home he was dismayed to learn that the media keep inviting "experts" who have not been to Ukraine and have no idea what is going on there.

Speaking to French radio station Sud Radio, Adrien Bocquet said he had witnessed “a lot of war crimes“. All those war crimes were committed by Ukrainian soldiers and not by Russian soldiers, he pointed out. Bocquet is therefore enormously alarmed that Europe is sending weapons to Ukrainian neo-Nazis. They wear all kinds of Nazi symbols on their uniforms. They do not hide these symbols. What is more, they boast about them, he said.
“I worked with them and gave them medicine. Do you know what they said? That they would skin Jews or blacks if they had the chance.” This certainly does not align with the mainstream narrative of saving “democracy” and “our values” in Ukraine.
“People can say whatever they want. I was there. I saw what happened there,” emphasised Bocquet, who says he has made many dozens of videos of war crimes. He saw in a barn Russian prisoners of war who had been beaten and tied up. “Fighters from the Azov battalion asked them who the officers were. Each Russian soldier was shot in the knees with a Kalashnikov. I have videos that prove it, otherwise I would not dare to say such a thing.”
Officers were immediately shot in the head. “That’s how it goes, at least in the Azov battalion,” the French ex-marine said.
He went on to say that he had seen an American cameraman blatantly staging footage and the Ukrainian army hiding ammunition in homes at night without informing civilians.

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.
Turkey Believes Sweden Hasn’t Done Enough

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."

BULL schite
Armies have been putting on shows for the MSM since electricity was invented…
One should question EVERYTHING media says about Ukraine/Russia.
Everything.
Le Monde is running with the proof of Uki war crimes
https://www.lemonde.fr/international/video/2022/05/13/prisonniers-russes-tortures-des-videos-verifiees-par-le-monde-mettent-en-cause-un-bataillon-de-volontaires-ukrainiens_6125904_3210.html
If I were Ukrainian, I’d be torturing Russians too. Without provocation, the Russians invaded them and have been murdering Ukrainians by the thousands.
You’re either ignorant or a shill. The war has been going on for 8 years but only now that the US-Ukraine criminal operations are endangered does the propaganda machine go to work. Get all your jabs and then go back for more.
Yeah, whatever Nazi.
The “Nazi” narrative is BS. There is nothing in these half-wits ideology that is “Nazi”.
If you were a Ukrainian, would you have supported the US coup d’etat of your democratically elected government?
The MSM has lied for so long, why would they suddenly start telling the truth?
That is what I have been saying you have been proven to be lying so why should I believe you now
Both sides are lying. No real “Nazi” would say “they would skin Jews or blacks if they had the chance.” There is no context to the “Nazi symbols on their uniforms”. The rules of war (until the Stalinist show trials at Nuremberg) required combatants to be in uniform. Combatants not in uniform were spies, and those aiding and abetting the spies were also spies. Spies could be summarily executed. Partisans and/or underground movements were spies under the rules of war. There were more than 500,000 volunteers from across Europe and North Africa joining the war against communism. They could not be part of the German Army. The Waffen SS was the way for these volunteers to enter combat. There were dozens of Waffen SS units and battalions that were “national” in origin, some countries, like Belgium, had more than one. There was no blood test or exam to determine whether these people fit NSDAP (not for export) ideology. The only requirement was for them to fight communism. They were provided uniforms and badges to make them uniformed combatants as was required.
The Ukrainian battalion using the symbol in question, were primarily Galicians, who, prior to the Treaty of Versailles, were a troublesome part of the Austrian Empire. These people, who didn’t like Poles, Germans, Czechs, Hungarians, or Germans had lived through a decade of “Russian” communists starving millions of their family friends and neighbours to death. It is important to note that the Russian Donbas was attached to Ukraine by Lenin. When Germany invaded, why wouldn’t they be collaborating to remove the people who murdered millions of them? In my working life I was required to “collaborate” with other organizations on shared interests. Sometimes those organizations normally would be competitors. The collaboration does not mean philosophical alignment outside of that specific interest.
Former GRU officer and Soviet defector Rezun wrote Icebreaker under the pen name Viktor Suvarov 40 years ago, disclosing that Operation Barbarosa was exactly what the Germans said it was – a pre-emptive attack on a massive Soviet invasion. About half a dozen others have been written, since the opening of the Soviet archives 30 years ago, that come to the same conclusion. That means the Soviet/Russian narrative of “The Great Patriotic War” is a lie. The “de-nazification” narrative is built on the lie.
Today’s psychopaths may be the descendants of the lunatic Galicians of WWII, but there is nothing “Nazi” about them.
One should assume the truth is the opposite of what the MSM says, not only as far as this war but as far as everything.
Enemies of the people.
One should question everything they say about everything else too! I believe nothing I hear from any of these satanists.
You are wise to do so.
All lies all the time from the liar media.
“Trust….but verify.”
Why bother questioning it? Why even pay any attention to it?
all we have is our common sense. You can’t trust any media on either side, but we are giving Ukraine 40 billion more or at least 20 and the rest will be filtered or laundered back to American politicians on both sides of the aisle. Kaching!
The evil get richer while we go broke and face eventual starvation.

I wonder how much of that $40B gets kicked back to Hunter and Big Guy?
I regret to inform you that this decent young man has died tomorrow of an unfortunate accident.
In war, truth is the first casualty.
Actual factual!
So, am I to assume that Putin sent those Chechen fighters in with strict orders to follow the rules of war ? They do not have a good record for treating opposition fighters well…..just ask the Russians. Sorry, I really doubt that he cared, he just wanted to use their fearsome reputation to terrorize the people of Ukraine. I have no idea who is telling the truth here and really not sure it matters. I do not recall Ukraine threatening to invade Russia. Russia has made the decision to invade another country with full force, frankly if I were a Ukraine citizen I would not want to just run them out, I would want to sting them so bad they would never want to try that again. This Frenchman would most likley have a different view had he been fighting Russian Chechen fighters in France. If Russian troops are not happy with the siuation, the border is not far away, they can end this in a day or two. Otherwise if you chose to stay in my country as an invading force….you get what you get.
Again half truths. Of course Russia is evil. Please do not pretend that Ukraine is less than as evil.
Both factions are evil. Period. To assume other is to be victim of propaganda.
I am not pretending anything. As I said, I have no idea who is telling the truth or who is “evil” or which is more “evil”. All I know is that that if someone forces there way into my home (evil or not evil) and I get to my weapons there are no rules and the intruder gets what he gets. Russia chose to enter Ukraine by force…if I am a Ukraine citizen….the rules end right there and Russians get what they get until Russia pulls out. If Ukraine decides to invade Russia and I were a Russian the rules would end right there as well and Ukraine would get what they get until they pull out. No “half truths” no politics, no BS. It’s not for you or me to decide if Ukraine is evil or not evil….the citizens of Ukraine need to to sort that out among themselves.
The Ukrainians are not the lily white saints the media portrays them to be. That much is certain. Their cheerleaders here want to pump them with billions of our dollars to keep the war going indefinitely. If they can make the war bigger even better. There is no motivation for either side to sit down and negotiate. The only “truth” here is that we do not know the truth.
Let’s be very clear about their motivation. American politicians, on both sides of the aisle, are sending billions of dollars to Ukraine for only one reason. That reason is so they can get millions of dollars kicked back to them in the form of graft. That is the only thing these people care about. And never forget the 10% for the big guy.
And now you know why the Left is so hell bent on backing Ukraine.
Everyone with a brain knows this.
We didn’t listen to The Western propaganda
It’s not surprising that Nazis are going to Nazi
Sending $$$BILLIONS$$$ of USD to support the most notorious kleptocracy in Europe? Fraud, fraud, fraud.
Ukraine is nothing more than a money laundering check=point for Western democratically-elected politico careerists to clean house.
This scam makes what happened in Ukraine after the fall of the Soviet Union look like small potatoes.
These kleptocrats have no shame.
Remember Romania, Dec 25, 1989. The people have only so much patience for your ill-gained loot.
Ukrainians had a good sovereignity run of 30 years first time in their history, and all they came up with is a fkn maffia state.
And that is their business…Russia….a HUGE kleptocracy… had no right to annex Crimea or foment revolt in the eastern provinces.
When I saw Soros demanding support for Ukraine I knew it was shady business. When American politicians send money somewhere it’s a payoff, not charity.
Anything Soros is involved with is bad for this country and the world.
Klaus Schwab want NATO to got to war with Russia.
Yes. They can’t take over Russia with Putin in the way.
“Journalist” help Palestinians stage so-called devastation caused by Israel. Ukraine is using the same playbook, and out media, and politicians go along with it because they hate Russia more than they hate actual Nazi’s and white supremacists. White supremacists in the minds of the left are the MAGA people, not the actual white supremacists who hate the left and the right, and are used by the left, but hated by the right..
I don’t doubt this for a second.
After having said that, aren’t there Christian missionaries in Ukraine? Why have they not spoken up about this? Surely they do not agree with this behavior.
Imagine, The USA arming Neo-Nazis in Ukraine. The most corrupt country in the world and Biden, the cash cow.
Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences.
Wow. Witnessed all that in 3 whole weeks. I raise the B.S. flag.

Ukraine is the country being invaded and having its cities and citizens destroyed by indiscriminate bombings. Russia should have stayed home and no one would have been killed.
The Nazi Azov was killing Russian speaking people of eastern Ukraine for Ukraine before Russia intervened in effort to end that killing.
Not defending Ukraine but they are the country that was attacked and I’m not buying Russia the savior thing either.
So it’s fine to kill your own citizens, but not a foreign power to do it? Your selective morality and outrage are laughable
Your defense of an intruder invading a sovereign country is what is laughable.
Get all your shots and go back for more. The world is better off without simpletons.
Does that mean you’re contemplating suicide?
An American cameraman staging footage? No way.
Don’t be afraid to be a malcontent.
Seek out the truth.
Question everything.
Gather all available evidence.
Analyze all available evidence.
Weigh the credibility of all available evidence.
Think for yourself.
Be honest and don’t allow ideology, preconceptions or bias guide findings.
Form a properly educated opinion based upon the best available evidence.
Share your findings with others.
Joe Biden was not elected president.
There was no insurrection on 1/6/2021.
The violence and destruction occurring at the U.S. Capitol on 1/6/2021 was done at the direction of the U.S. government.
Covid 19 is not anything more than an operation to coerce the fearful to take injections.
The injections are not safe, effective or vaccines.
We are all in this psyop together.
I am a malcontent in search of truth.
Trust government. Trust corporatocracy and its MSM. Stay deaf, blind, mum, dumb as cum, and just hum. Good democrat.
American media is attempting a silent coup
Put the video up on the web before you wake up dead.
Mitchell & Webb comedy team. Google “Armstrong, Miller, Mitchell & Webb WWII Pilots” for a really funny clip on youtube.
OMG I just watched their ‘are we the baddies?’ sketch and nearly soiled myself laughing!! Thank you so much for the education and the laughs, wish I could upvote you 1000 times…
Had Russia not invaded and occupied Crimea years ago and fomented unrest in the east by supporting the “breakaway” provinces then maybe there would have been no atrocities by anyone. Russia did not tolerate the breakaway of oh say Georgia…they why should Ukraine tolerate the breakaway efforts of Donbas.
Yes, there’s disinformation, but if your country had been invaded & thousands of innocent people killed by the enemy without impunity, you’d have no problem doing what the Ukrainians did Just sayin’.
I assume you mean when the Russians sent mercenaries into that reason in support of the “ethnic russian” / seperatist….you know about the same time that they invaded the Crimea….and as I recall shot down a Korean airliner….how quick we forget?? Lot’s ethnic hispanics in the southwest US….are you saying it would be acceptable to you if Mexico sent invastion force into the US to support ethnic hispanic seperatists?

Wasn’t it a Malaysian airliner? (that the Ukrainian side shot down, I might add). The Crimea was invaded. It wanted independence and was threatened by the Ukrainian side- Russia sent troops to protect the population against indiscriminate shelling – as has happened in the Donbas region. And your sources are as junk as your theories.
The Jewish comedian-dancer-actor-globalist puppet Zelensky is still alive. And he always gets his 10% off the top on any Ukrainian deal. Is the article saying the neo-nazis want to do away with Zelensky? People that I’ve heard with family ties in both Russia and the Ukraine say that a significant % of the Ukranian army is Nazi – racial purists.
Shocked by this? As in the movie Casablanca, “I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!”
He’s Navy, not Marine. He joined the Commandos de la Marine – equivalent to US Navy SEALs.
There are no good guys in war. Russia invaded. They are responsible. If it had been up to Stonewall Jackson in 1862, he would have authorized it against the invaders of Virginia. Read what he wrote.
And the germans killed more than 6 million people
Anyone who cared to knew this was so from the start. It was going on for 8 years prior to the Russian intervention.
Don’t worry, you’ll not have time to see the Ukraine narrative collapse before MONKEYPOX will take your tiny brains’ attention.
Azov under General Victoria Noodleman Kagan’s command….since 2014. oh well on to the next regime change.
You truly are a simpleton.
Homunculus
Funny the neo nazi are approved by the jewish ukraine gov. and even has jewish members
