How an unverified mainstream media report almost started WW3
Although his closest allies, the US and Poland, are certain that one of his rockets hit the Polish village, Ukraine's President Vladimir Zelensky insisted until Wednesday that his neighbour was the culprit. He has so far refused to apologize for the attack that killed two Polish citizens and destroyed a tractor.

On Wednesday, Zelensky claimed that he was “certain” the rocket was not a Ukrainian projectile. First of all, Russia was blamed. But both Poland (which initially also decided to advance the idea of a Russian attack) and the US know that it was a Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile. Evidence of this is now also widely available on social media. Yet the Kiev leader spent at least two days feverishly calling for war between the world’s two largest nuclear powers.
Even as NATO stated that a stray Ukrainian missile had caused the catastrophe in Poland, Zelensky doubled down: “I think it was a Russian missile – based on the confidence I have in the military reports.”
On Thursday Zelensky backtracked somewhat after he realised that the Biden administration and NATO would not come to his rescue. “I don’t know what happened. We don’t know for sure. The whole world doesn’t know.” Experts from his country would take part in an international investigation, his administration said.
The Ukrainian president complained that his allies did not adequately appreciate that Ukraine was the “real air defense of all of Eastern Europe” and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba called references to a Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile a “conspiracy theory” orchestrated by Russia.
Mykhailo Podolyak, one of the top advisors to Ukrainian leader, declared that the strikes were “not an accident, but a deliberately planned ‘hello’ from [Russia], disguised as a ‘mistake.’”
The US and Russian satellites however must have recorded this launch. In other words, both sides know where the S-300 originated from: Ukraine. According to intelligence sources, the US Department of Defense had the technical data from the National Reconnaissance Office that had pinpointed the launch location.
Russia however must be held responsible for the attack because of its war of aggression against Ukraine, Zelensky insisted. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken made a similar statement: Regardless of the outcome of the investigation, “we already know the party ultimately responsible for this tragic incident: Russia”. The phrase “ultimately responsible” was nonetheless the dead giveaway: Essentially Blinken was confirming that Ukraine had fired the S-300.

Zelensky’s overly self-confident posture on Wednesday had been underscored by British tabloid headlines. They never doubted the unverified Associated Press information. AP News’ explosive headline based was on a single source: “A senior US intelligence official says Russian missiles crossed into NATO member Poland, killing two people.”
On Thursday however, the Financial Times published a damning response to Kiev’s efforts to ignite a wider war.
The incident has nevertheless highlighted how the Anglo-Saxon media is able to easily foment a crisis, stir up strong emotions and thus create the conditions for deadly nuclear escalation, according to George Beebe of the Quincy Institute. Beebe previously led the CIA’s Russia Analysis Group.
“We’re all walking close to the edge of a disaster, and the United States should not be confident that we won’t be pushed over that edge by forces we can’t control,” said Beebe.
Within two hours, after Reuters had reported that Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki called an emergency meeting of his national security team, it became clear that Russia was an unlikely culprit. Despite this, many top officials persisted in calling for outright war.
Russia denied the claim, saying that “[n]o strikes on targets near the Ukrainian-Polish state border were made by Russian means of destruction”.

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.
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."

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.

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