Leftist German federal state minister had delisted Berlin terrorist as a threat
German state authorities knew more about the terror threat posed by Tunisian ISIS operative Anis Amri than previously claimed, according to reports.

The local German State Criminal Police Office (Landeskriminalamt, or LKA) had considered the migrant an increasing threat to public safety, but he was nevertheless delisted as a threat.
The Berlin broadcaster RBB has seen documents suggesting the local LKA considered the bogus asylum seeker an increasing threat to public safety only shortly before being forced to end all surveillance on their target by the leftist interior minister.
At the time, the LKA encouraged the deportation of the 24-year-old Islamist threat from Tunisia and recommended that paragraph 58a of the Residence Act be used. The investigators also noted concrete findings to add weight to their recommendation.
But the responsible department head in the ministry rejected this suggestion. It could have been the golden opportunity to arrest and deport Amri before he could commit the terror attack on December 19, 2016, with twelve deaths and 50 injuries.
Ralf Jäger, the Minister of the Interior, defended his decision in the parliament or Landtag of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW). The LKA note did not provide any “new findings”, Jäger said late Wednesday afternoon, last week.
Only days ago, the German weekly Bild Am Sonntag reported that NRW interior minister Jäger was informed that “Amri poses a threat in the sense of a terrorist attack” by the authorities, but personally intervened to prevent his deportation.
SPD politician Jäger has also been accused of being instrumental in the attempt to cover up mass sexual assaults by migrants in Cologne on New Year’s Eve in 2015.
Hans-Christian Ströbele, a Green Party politician, said he was “now convinced the attack could have been prevented. We need a full parliamentary inquiry into the Amri case” following the report.
Several other local politicians have also demanded a full federal investigation into the matter regarding the oversight.
In December last year, Amri killed a Polish haulier to steal his truck, which he later drove into a busy Christmas market in Berlin killing shoppers.
The Tunisian had continued to use multiple identities to game the German asylum system, even though his initial asylum application had been rejected by authorities and he was facing a deportation order.
Amri had been linked to several crimes as well as radical Islam, but the federal state authorities had stopped their surveillance of the migrant in September 2016, claiming he had posed no threat.
But in August 2016 a police report clearly described Amri as posing a “growing violent threat”. Despite the observation, authorities at this point had already reduced observation to only monitoring the Tunisian’s mobile phone.
Berlin state interior minister Andreas Geisel said the RBB report raised questions about the version of events police had presented.

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.
