Berlin police worry about terminology used for violent immigrants
Real-world satire from the ransacked German capital: The New Year's resolution of police officials in Berlin is to choose a more careful multicultural vocabulary. In a recommendation for "discrimination-sensitive language use", officials are told which terms are "appropriate". This latest farce is from a city which saw extreme violence on New Year's Eve perpetrated by immigrants.

For example, the list which German tabloid Bild was able to see, police officers should say “West-Asian” instead of “from southern countries”. The reason given is that the term is geographically inaccurate and “negatively connoted by the media”.
The justification for not using “Southerner” was in fact particularly bold: the term is allegedly often used by “anti-constitutional media”.
There are other descriptions to be avoided. The term “refugee” is also “controversial” and it should rather be “people seeking protection”. The term “asylum seeker” is also discouraged. Instead, the police officers should use the gendered form “asylum seekers” to pander to politically correct gender expectations.
‘Veiling of reality’

The chairman of the German police union, Rainer Wendt, said he feared a “veiling of reality”.
“In Berlin, young men from Turkey, Iraq or Lebanon are often involved in criminal offenses.” If these people are referred to as “West Asians”, this blurs the reality of life. In view of the problems of the Berlin police – clan crime, radical Islamists, climate fanatics, etc, the recommendations of the LKA [The State Criminal Police Office, or Landeskriminalamt, ed.] also seemed “like a mockery of the workforce”.
Member of the Bundestag Christoph de Vries (CDU) explained: “The Berlin police officers deserve trust and political backing instead of a left-green language code.” And: “Nothing gets better if you don’t call things by their names.”
Videos from the New Year’s Eve horror: fire extinguishers thrown at emergency vehicles
Numerous videos documented the civil war-like scenes that took place in Berlin at the turn of the year. Rioting migrants did not stop at the police and ambulances and even attacked the rescuers themselves.
The escalation on New Year’s Eve in the German capital has been well-documented with Berlin fire engines and police cars shot at and attacked from all sides. Various videos of migrants brandishing guns are also currently going viral on the internet.

One video in particular showed a fire extinguisher being thrown at a fire engine. The occupants were unharmed, but deeply shocked. “It really leaves us speechless to see the amount of violence and destructive force directed against emergency services that were just putting out a fire,” said a spokesman for the Berlin fire department.
The brutal attacks on the fire brigade and police led to a total of 103 arrests. All 98 men and five women are now free again – a spokesman for the Berlin police confirmed this to German magazine Focus. Numerous emergency services and civilians were injured. In addition, unknown persons in individual parts of the city set fire to dozens of cars.
From the point of view of the well-known author and psychologist Ahmad Mansour, the main problem is a lack of integration. “We are dealing with a group that is not integrated, that has not arrived in this society. A group that partially despises and rejects the rule of law,” he told Focus.
Armed migrants and asylum seekers were mainly responsible for the attacks and violence. Attacks on police officers and other emergency services are becoming more and more common in German cities. While Mansour found the right words for the riots, the responsible Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) has not yet made a statement.

Widespread armed upheaval
While the media attention was initially focused on the serious riots in Berlin, new reports from all parts of the country show the widespread outbreaks of violence against rescue and security forces.
In the Medinghoven district of Bonn, a mob of people, some of whom were masked, attacked firefighters trying to extinguish a burning barricade, reported WDR.
“The attacks on the emergency services definitely had a new quality,” said a spokesman for the Hamburg fire brigade. “We were shot at very specifically and that’s new.” A representative of the Essen police said something similar. Such incidents had also occurred in the Ruhr area city, in which it was only possible to extinguish the fire under police protection.
Videos in social networks have so far made it clear that, at least on New Year’s Eve, it was mainly migrants in numerous cities and also left-wing extremists – such as in Leipzig-Connewitz – who attacked police officers, firefighters and paramedics.
Despite this, Lower Saxony’s SPD interior minister saw perpetrators who come “from the right-wing extremist milieu”.

Europe
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.
Turkey Believes Sweden Hasn’t Done Enough

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.

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.
