2019: Second truck attacked in Calais and driver assaulted
Some 50 migrants set alight a heavy-duty truck and seriously assaulted its driver after they had ambushed the vehicle on a French highway near Calais, according to reports.
Published: January 10, 2019, 7:40 am
According to regional French daily La Voix Du Nord, the driver was taken to hospital after being badly beaten by the migrants as he was trying to escape from the truck.
The Bulgarian trucker had attempted to ram through a blockade of flaming pallets erected by migrants on the ring road near Calais. When he failed, he got out of the vehicle. He was then assaulted by the gang.
The migrants all had reportedly fled the scene when authorities arrived. The truck meanwhile, was completely destroyed.
Police have not yet arrested any suspects involved in the most recent incident.
Calais, in France, is a hub for trucks and passenger vehicles heading to and arriving from from the United Kingdom.
“It’s a sobering sight for truck drivers arriving into Calais off the ferry from Dover…the wreckage of a truck torched at a migrant roadblock last night… ” ITN Channel 4 News journalist Stuart Webb noted.
The prefecture of Pas-de-Calais confirmed the attack and said the port bypass which joins the A16 was reopened to traffic around 15:00.
Due to the towing operation on the harbor bypass, and the charred road, traffic was still disrupted on the A16, in the direction Boulogne Calais.
According to the prefecture, the number of obstacles to traffic caused by migrants has already risen to 2 incidents this year, including this one. In 2018 there were 26 such cases, 45 in 2017 and 865 in 2016, when the migrants squatter camp, called the “Jungle” of Calais, had not yet been demolished.

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.

It is quite obvious that the creatures who misrule Europe care nothing for the native peoples. That swarms of feral sub-humans like those who infest the camp at Calais are allowed to do what they do for years on end is all one needs to see to understand it. In a healthy land these vermin would be slaughtered like the rats they are in short order. Of course, in a healthy environment they would not even be allowed to set foot on our continent at all. The endless swarms of these cockroaches in human clothes could have been stopped decades ago if our rulers had wished it. However, regardless of what the populations of the various European nations wanted of voted for the endless brown stream has never even slowed down. To paraphrase a line from a well known film, ‘we have been targeted for termination’. And we will be terminated unless we make the monsters who are doing this to us bleed. All the voting, or protesting, or complaining, or tweeting or videos in the world will not have the slightest effect on the elite demons who wish our destruction. Only the spilling of their blood will stop them.
unfortunately, all of the “elites” who are doing this to us peasants, are protected. They live behind walls and work in secure buildings and travel with drivers in special cars…. we don’t have access to them. That is the problem. We need access.
