Italian Foreign Minister warns that migrants could be terrorists
Italian Foreign Minister Enrico Moavero Milanesi said on Tuesday that terrorists may be arriving with migrant rescue missions.

Terrorists may be coming to Italy on migrant boats, Milanesi said. “Many elements lead us to believe that on the boats there are returning fighters and there may be people bringing a terrorist threat, so there is a direct interest with respect to the NATO defence clause,” he said on the eve of the NATO summit in Brussels.
“We will forcefully ask at the NATO summit for a rebalancing of the Atlantic Alliance’s commitment towards the Mediterranean. We must have the same commitment towards the south as to the east”.
There was no alternative to working with the European Union on the issue for Italy, he added. “I can’t see alternatives to an active participation by Italy in the process of European integration,” he said. “I have a dim view of isolationism and attempts at pure hindrance”.
Milanesi used the example of the UK, where Brexit has yet again launced a the latest government crisis. “You know well what you leave, you know less well what you find and that is also shown by what is happening in Britain”.
Interior Minister Matteo Salvini meanwhile used strong language to blast the Calabrian-based ‘Ndrangheta mafia on Tuesday as he paid a visit to a property confiscated from the Gallico clan in the town of Palmi that is set to be transformed into a police station. The clan is believed to be involved in human trafficking from Libya.
Italian crime families have cashed in on the “refugee industry”. In 2014, an investigation known as “Mafia Capitale” found that a mafia-style association had siphoned off millions of euros by infiltrating asylum centres across the country, buying and selling names and details of migrants who had long disappeared, in order to tap into the per-person state funding.
During the investigation, one of the alleged bosses of the group, Salvatore Buzzi, boasted: “Do you have any idea how much I earn on immigrants?” he told an associate. “They’re more profitable than drugs.”
In 2017, anti-mafia police arrested 68 people, including the local parish priest, in the Calabrian town of Isola di Capo Rizzuto, where one of the country’s largest migrant and refugee reception centres has been in operation for more than a decade. Investigators say the mafia stole tens of millions of euros in public funds intended for asylum seekers to live on while their applications were heard.
Chief of the anti-mafia forces, General Giuseppe Governale, said the centre was a lucrative source of funds for the Calabrian mafia, the ‘Ndrangheta.
“An all-out war has started against organized crime, not just in Calabria, but in all of Italy, because the ‘Ndrangheta is a shit, a cancer, that has spread to the whole of Italy,” said Salvini, who is also deputy premier and leader of the League party.
“But I’m stubborn and I’ll keep fighting it until we have taken away even the underpants of these people”.

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.

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.
