Norwegian filmmaker faces imprisonment after statements about pregnancy
Even in Scandinavian countries, which like to pride themselves on their “tolerance”, gender ideology is taking on totalitarian traits. Filmmaker Tonje Gjevjon is now on trial in Norway after she took it for granted that she ran afoul of Norway's "hate speech" legislation. Gjevjon, who is a lesbian, faces up to three years in prison.

On November 17, she was informed of the investigation against her after speaking out against prominent Norwegian LGBTQ activist Christine Jentoft on Facebook. Jentoft is a transgender man who describes himself as a lesbian mother. Jentoft had previously accused another woman, Christina Ellingsen, of a similar expression of “transphobia.” Ellingsen is also being investigated, and she too faces up to three years in prison if she is convicted.
The post on Gjevjon’s Facebook page under investigation read: “Becoming a lesbian is as impossible for men as it is impossible for men to get pregnant. Men are men regardless of their sexual fetish.”
Gjevjon stressed that she deliberately took down her Facebook post to draw attention to Norway’s anti-hate speech laws.
Gjevjon’s comments appear to be under investigation because they fall under a 2020 amendment to the Norwegian Criminal Code that put “gender identity and gender expression” under the categories specifically protected against “hate speech”. Anyone found guilty of hate speech faces a fine or up to one year in prison for private speech and a maximum of three years for public speech.
This isn’t the first time filmmaker Gjevjon has spoken out on controversial issues surrounding gender and women’s rights. Last year she confronted Norway’s Minister for Culture and Reality [sic], Anette Trettebergstuen, with claims that confusing gender identity with biological sex has “harmful” and “discriminatory” effects on women, particularly lesbians.
Gjevjon had asked Trettebergstuen, a Labour Party MP, how she would protect the rights of women and girls. She also inquired whether men could be lesbians. “I believe it is absolutely necessary to place biological sex as the basis in all contexts where sex has legal, cultural, or practical relevance, and that equating sex with gender identity has harmful, discriminatory consequences for women and girls – especially lesbians,” Gjevjon said in her question.
She added, “will the Equality Minister take action to ensure that lesbian women’s human rights are safeguarded, by making it clear that there are no lesbians with penises, that males cannot be lesbians regardless of their gender identity, and by tidying up the mess of the harmful gender policies left behind by the previous government?”
“I do not share a notion of reality in which the only two biological sexes are to be understood as sex,” Trettebergstuen responded, “Gender identity is also crucial.” The Norwegian website Gaysir has named Trettebergstuen Norway’s “second most powerful lesbian”.
Norwegian reports mentioned that Gjevjon was being forced out of the public sphere because of her opinions, despite the fact that she had been a prominent part of the music and art establishment for almost 15 years.
As of November 2022, gender self-identification, where no judge or medical expert are involved, is part of the law in 18 countries: Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Denmark, Ecuador, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Portugal, Switzerland and Uruguay.

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."

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.

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.
