Four dead Russian diplomats in three months
Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations died unexpectedly in New York on Monday, the Russian Foreign Ministry has revealed.

Vitaly Churkin’s was the latest in a series of deaths of influential Russian civil servants, all posted to foreign countries.
On the 31st of December, 2016, Churkin’s resolution on a ceasefire in Syria passed in the UN Security Council after months of deadlock and is still in force. Churkin’s intellectual prowess was well-known as he regularly and calmly out-performed liberal interventionists.
At least five deaths have resulted in the emergence of a macabre pattern, says Adam Garrie, columnist for The Duran.
“First there was Russia’s RT founder and special adviser to President Putin, Mikhail Lesin. He died in November of 2015 in his hotel room. Reports said that he appeared discombobulated during his last sighting before he died. Later it emerged that he died of a blunt head trauma,” says Garrie.
Earlier last month, Andrei Malanin, a Senior Russian diplomat to Greece was found dead in his bathroom. The cause of death remains unknown, but the Greek police said they were investigating foul play. The diplomat was found lying on his back on the bedroom floor, a police source told AFP, adding that there were no signs of forced entry. “The first signs show a pathological cause of death, but we are investigating nonetheless,” the officer said.
Malanin had overseen a period of improved relations between Greece and Russia at a time when Greece is feeling increasingly alienated from both the EU and NATO. “Many fear that if ‘Grexit’ happens, Russia will become an increasingly important partner for Greece,” explains Garrie.
Last month, Russia’s Ambassador to India, Alexander Kadakin, also died suddenly of a heart attack, although no one was aware of any previous health issues. India is regarded by civil servants as an important posting. Kadakin oversaw a period of renewed tensions between India and Pakistan, but maintained a balanced relationship with both. In that singular capacity, Kadakin also would have been able to mediate in conflict resolutions between New Delhi and Islamabad, as Russia had done in Syria.
In December last year Russia’s Ambassador to Turkey, Andrei Karlov was assassinated by a gun-toting policeman in an art gallery in Ankara. The assassin simply walked up to the ambassador and shot him multiple times in the back while Karlov was giving his opening speech. The cold-blooded murder was recorded live and broadcast on television. Karlov was instrumental in helping to facilitate a rapprochement between Presidents Erdogan and Putin regarding Syria.
Soon after Karlov’s assassination, the body of the former Greek ambassador to Russia, was found in a burned out car in Brazil.
According to Garrie the motive could have been the “derailment of restored Russo-Turkish relations” a possible thorn in the sides of those who want Syrian president Assad gone.
Garrie speculates that each of the recently deceased Russian envoys “were high profile targets for miscreants and criminals, whether state actors, mercenaries or fanatics”.
He adds that “each death took place on foreign soil”, where it seems many in the Russian diplomatic corps and related institutions, even healthy individuals, are strangely prone to sudden heart attacks.

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."
