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.

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
Sweden will have to wait a bit longer for NATO membership, according to Turkey's Justice Minister Jilmaz Tunc. First, Sweden must extradite the "terrorists" Turkey wants and stop the desecration of the Quran.
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."
Dutch FvD break through the media blockade
What is happening in the Netherlands? It is often difficult to follow events in other countries, especially when distorted by system media. We give Forum for Democracy (FvD) the opportunity to speak out on the political situation in the Netherlands and the staunch resistance they face in trying to save the country.
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. The judge responsible for the investigation will likely gain access to the secret messages exchanged between Ursula von der Leyen and Albert Bourla, CEO of Pfizer, at least if they haven't been deleted.
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. There is strong evidence that the distributor has been under pressure, something that has also happened in Sweden. We have spoken with Arktos founder Daniel Friberg about the ongoing struggle for freedom of speech in a shrinking cultural corridor.
Care prompts bishops to criticize transgender ideology
The Catholic bishops of the Scandinavian countries presented an open five-page letter criticizing transgender ideology on March 21, just before Easter. The document primarily expresses care and advice and was read aloud in Catholic churches in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland. Cardinal Anders Arborelius, Bishop of Stockholm, is one of the signatories of the document.
