Moroccans trash Belgian cities after WC victory
Victory turned into a riot on Sunday 27 November, as violence broke out in Brussels after the victory of the Moroccan team against Belgium in the football World Cup. The Atlas Lions won by two goals to nil and thus triumphed over the Belgian team.

But even before the end of the match, Moroccan fans unleashed violence in the streets of the Belgian capital. “Dozens of people, some of them wearing balaclavas, sought confrontation with the forces of order, which compromised public safety,” the Belgian police announced in a statement.
After Morocco’s 2-0 victory over Belgium at the World Cup in Qatar, migrants brought about civil war-like conditions in their host country. Instead of celebrating the victory peacefully, the worst riots in years broke out in Brussels and other cities.
Moroccans destroyed shop windows and cars, set fires and devastated entire streets. Around 100 police officers tried to use tear gas and water cannons to maintain order, reported Le Figaro.
Moroccans possible German World Cup opponents
The Moroccan rioters in Brussels proudly filmed themselves with their flags in front of burning wrecks for their fans on TikTok.
Fireworks were set off even before the game started, Belgian media reported. During the game, the situation in Brussels, among other places, got completely out of control. Several e-scooters and other vehicles were set ablaze. Banks and retail stores were also smashed by the North Africans. They were armed with bats and threw Molotov cocktails, police said.
There were also serious riots in Liège and Antwerp. There, Moroccans attacked a police station, smashed windows and damaged two law enforcement cars. Even in the neighboring Netherlands, especially in Amsterdam, there were similar riots, as the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reported. Cars were set on fire too.
Riots also broke out in Rotterdam and The Hague, as reported by the Dutch news agency ANP. The police estimated the number of people involved in Rotterdam at 500 people. There, firecrackers and glass were thrown at the police.
In a possible World Cup round of 16, Morocco could become opponents of the German national team. But the Moroccan riots were described in Germany as “Belgian football fan riots” by the media. German Stern magazine, for example, literally wrote of “Belgian fans” in its online edition – which of course did not go unnoticed.

“A journalist was injured in the face by fireworks,” according to the police, who then decided to intervene with a water cannon and tear gas. A reporter from the Flemish VTMnieuws was also attacked on a live news interview.
The hundred police officers who were involved in this intervention, were repeatedly hit by projectiles. The police asked residents and fans to avoid certain areas of the city centre. Metro stations were closed and streets blocked off to limit crowds. The mayor of the city, Philippe Close, “strongly condemned” the violence.
“I have ordered the police to make administrative arrests of the troublemakers,” he added. The rioters also trampled a Belgian flag, which they tore from the front of a building, to the cheers of Moroccan supporters.
More than 500 000 people of Moroccan descent live in Belgium. It is the largest non-European immigrant group in the country.

Failed integration
Belgium has never set foot in Morocco, so it cannot be held responsible for any historical resentment. Yet the World Cup match between Belgium and Morocco led to violent riots in Belgium, becoming a blatant reminder of an immigrant population that has never integrated into its host country.
No excuses can be found for the delinquents. The EU country is even particularly generous towards newcomers who benefit from a myriad of funding possibilities and who can live as they please.
For a week, the media had not stopped presenting the match as a sign of fraternity between Belgians and Moroccans. Therefore, one did not have to be clairvoyant to understand that their pro-immigration headlines did not age well. The mainstream media’s linguistic circumlocutions when reporting the events (burnt cars, damage to urban centres, violence against the police, etc.) were just as bad: There was only a “minority of rioters” who spoiled the party of the peaceful Moroccan supporters and allowed populists to “shamefully abuse” the events.
EU politicians have since been busy minimising and concealing the essential point: that the riots are the scathing denial of the narrative surrounding their migration policy in a country that has already suffered a great deal.

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."
