German state broadcaster touts Zimbabwean ‘television that generates energy’
The abysmally stupid journalists at Germany's state broadcaster (which runs on compulsory fees), were exposed once again on Friday. The reporter from ARD in Johannesburg presented a sensational contribution with a “television that generates energy instead of consuming it”.

The TV is powered by radio waves, so it doesn’t need a power cable. And not only that: “Even if the television is off, other things can be supplied with electricity through it”. The TV is turned into a “microsonic device that generates energy”. The ignorant reporter even welcomed it as “part of the solution to the energy crisis”.
The inventor of this miracle box is said to be a Zimbabwean. The leftwing Tagesschau announced the discovery of the incredible technological break-through.
Meanwhile, on Twitter, the reporter from the ARD Johannesburg studio promoted her ridiculous contribution with the words: “No cable, no extra radiation, no emissions, no raw material consumption. Sounds like part of the solution to the energy crisis.”
The problem: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Maxwell Chikumbutso is no stranger to the world: Years ago, he presented an electric car that allegedly does not need to be charged because it is powered by magnetic waves and radio frequencies, even offering it for sale on a website for $499. The news agency AP and some honest reporters at the time, exposed the “sensation” as African fakery.
The Tagesschau reporter did not bother to check the credentials of the “great scientist”. And no one else in the Tagesschau editorial office was perplexed by this “scientific sensation” before it went online.
In the report, the Tagesschau actually advances the narrative that the great Zimbabwe invention only failed to catch on because of racism. It has Chikumbutso, the supposed inventor, explain at length: “In a way, the television uses free, renewable and green energy. No emissions, no consumption, no raw materials. It uses the radio waves and converts them”.
But unfortunately, even if the “invention could set a precedent, there is little attention for innovations from southern Africa”, the author lamented. And further: “His ideas could be a big hit. And yet he is not even listened to in large parts of Europe”.
The miracle television could solve so many problems in Africa and around the world, but racism has been preventing us from advancing, according to the Tagesschau. Chikumbutso wants to “make his cordless TV (…) accessible to the rural population”. And further: “Scientists from Europe have not yet tested his invention. But Maxwell believes it would be quite attractive to the Western world, including Germany, for example.”
In fact, Chikumbutso has already invented something else: “Street lights that are no longer solar-powered, but are powered by radio waves – also an invention of Chikumbutso. They are already shining in Mexico and North America.”
Researchers from the US have confirmed that the invention actually works, the leftwing rag assured readers. “He had worked on it for a long time, combining materials that are available locally in Zimbabwe and had it all tested by researchers from the US. They confirmed that it really works”.
Deutsche Welle (not financed by the broadcasting license fee, but by taxes) also took over the contribution and moderated it with the words: “This is a great idea that is already being implemented. But it hasn’t caught on yet. The inventor complains that this also has to do with a large portion of racism.”
Within hours after her post went online, an avalanche of ridicule and criticism followed. The Tagesschau author then admitted on Twitter: “Despite all my enquiries, I have not been able to get in touch with scientists from the US who, according to Maxwell Chikumbutso, have tested and verified his alleged invention. He wants to have developed it, he claims. That’s how I should have put it in the tweet.”
By late Friday evening, the article was no longer available on the Tagesschau website. The author of the article comes from Südwestrundfunk (SWR; Southwest Broadcasting), a regional German public broadcasting corporation, the institution that will now provide the new head of ARD.

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."
