U-turn in Swedish migration policy
In Sweden, following the recent parliamentary elections in September, a conservative government took power, which – for the first time in the country's history – is tolerated by the right-wing Sweden Democrats. As a result of this political constellation, the new government is now decreeing a migration policy U-turn in the country.

After the violent excesses leading to a civil war by migrant gangs, especially in larger cities such as Stockholm and Malmö, in recent years, there are now to be drastic changes. Permanent residence permits for asylum seekers are to be gradually revoked. This was announced by the new Swedish migration minister, Maria Malmer Stenergard.
“Asylum immigration must now be kept to a minimum,” said the minister. Transit centers, which could even be set up abroad, are also being considered. Minister Stenergard therefore wants to work more closely with countries outside the EU – a path that has already been taken by the Scandinavian neighbor Denmark. Family reunification should also be restricted.
Basically, the motto in the future should be: first integration, then naturalization. Sweden has “a huge task” ahead of it when it comes to integration. The requirements have been tightened accordingly. First, migrants should accept the Swedish way of life for at least eight years, not five as before.
The deadlines for naturalization are thus extended and the requirements tightened. If the immigrants are not willing to take these steps, they would lose their permanent residency permits. The director-general of the national migration agency, Mikael Ribbenvik, told TV channel SVT that permanent residence permits may be changed to temporary ones.
At the same time, the immigration of qualified workers should be improved: “We want to focus on the highly qualified workers who come to Sweden and improve the rules to shorten processing times,” says Stenergard. People who come to Sweden to work and to contribute “to Swedish society, to Swedish companies and to the development of Sweden” are more than welcome.
The government and the Sweden Democrats have also been tasked with investigating new security measures. They held a joint press conference this week where a new “security package” linked to the Tidö Agreement was presented. “We have promised to do what is required to break the criminal trend,” said Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M).
According to Jimmie Åkesson (SD), the “paradigm shift” that was talked about in the election campaign must now begin. “It must be really difficult to be a criminal in the Sweden we now govern,” said Jimmie Åkesson.
The government will therefore investigate the possibility of introducing the use of anonymous witnesses in Swedish legal processes. The investigator will be the marshal and former president of the Court of Appeal, Fredrik Wersäll. A first proposal is to be presented in October next year.
In connection with that, the application of a Crown witness system and early interrogations will be examined. “Anyone who has witnessed a crime must be able to feel safe in providing information in criminal investigations and in court,” said Energy and Industry Minister Ebba Busch.
“As I said, we are now adding an investigation into anonymous witnesses to add another tool to the box to deal with serious organized crime,” she added.
The government also intends to give the municipalities statutory responsibility for crime prevention work. A bill must be submitted to the Riksdag in the near future, according to Ebba Busch.
At the same time, the crime prevention council, Brå, will be given SEK 42 million per year to develop national support in crime prevention work.

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.

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."
