Dutch pro-immigration group to fetch migrants from Greece
A Dutch group has decided to travel to Greece to pick up asylum seekers with an old city bus and fifty cars and then take them back to the Netherlands.

But according to State Secretary for Justice and Security, Mark Harbers, the foundation We Gaan Ze Halen, is guilty of human trafficking. Harbers said that the asylum seekers will be returned straight away.
Harbers warned that he will immediately send the migrants picked up by the We Gaan Ze Halen foundation back to Greece.
We Gaan Ze Halen translated from Dutch means: “We will bring them back”. The action group wants to collect 150 migrants stranded in Athens, Nu.nl reported.
The group has made the 3 000 km journey in cars and a bus which broke down on the way. They left from Utrecht.
Their aim is to hand Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras a letter on Monday demanding legal travel documents for the migrants.
The group says the situation on the Greek islands is a “humanitarian disaster” with children in particular at risk of physical and sexual violence. There are now over 16 000 migrants on the islands.
“We must put an end to the enormous suffering of these people. European countries can no longer point to each other for a solution: something has to be done now. We call on the Dutch government to take the lead in Europe and, in imitation of Portugal, to bring 1 000 people from the Greek islands here.
“For this we have created a petition together with Amnesty International The Netherlands and others,” the group said on its website. They claim that health care leaves much to be desired and there is little to eat.
But Harbers has argued that it is illegal to transport people without residency status. Apart from the many logistical problems, the activists also plan to get a group of migrants to cross not only the Dutch border, but various national borders.
Collecting the asylum seekers from Greece with an old city bus and fifty cars, has proven difficult however, since the bus broke down.
The old bus, which started the trip from the Netherlands to Greece last Friday, only made it halfway through Germany when it ran into engine trouble. The group says that a new one has been arranged, but they have not managed to pick up their passengers.
They arrived with an empty bus at the parliament in Athens, where the group plans to demonstrate. “As an invitation, to take the hundred and fifty refugees to the Netherlands”, explained participant Jan van der Giesen from Hardenberg.
At the parliament, a Greek MP was handed a suitcase full of personal requests and messages, but their petition only collected 45 000 signatures despite huge national coverage in The Netherlands.
“We have also submitted the request to take the refugees into the Netherlands, but we have not yet received any response”, according to Van der Giesen.
When the bus broke down, according to campaigner Levi van der Beek (26) it potentially meant that fewer “refugees” would be taken back to the Netherlands. A new plan was then devised said Levi: “If we get permission from the Greek government to take the refugees along, we are going to be crowdfunding flights.”
But little has been heard from the campaign to crowdfund flight tickets for the migrants, suggesting that very few people are interested in giving money for their cause.
Harbers said last week that the asylum seekers will be turned back at the Dutch border.
It is not certain whether the Greek government wants to let the migrants leave the country at all. “We now have to wait, we leave Boxing Day, anyway, with or without refugees,” concluded the activist from Hardenberg.
They left The Netherlands on December 21. “Because we can not wait for the authorities to respond to the signatures and something has to be done now, we are going to drive to Greece with about 50 cars on the 21st December.
“This way we express how serious this is. This cannot wait, we are already in our cars and driving – let’s get this done,” the group announced before leaving.
Activist and initiator Rikko Voorberg handed over athe letter for Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, with which the group hopes to get permission to take the migrants along.

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.
