African who torched Italian schoolbus shows no remorse
The African from Senegal who hijacked a schoolbus in Italy, terrorizing 51 small children on board, is not going to apologize for what he did.
Published: March 23, 2019, 12:19 pm
He forcefully affirmed his act of torching the bus, and in fact, in front of the magistrates, explained his motives for the attack on the bus, Italian daily Il Giornale reported.
“Repent? No repentance. It was something that I had to do and would do again. One hundred times. Why did I do it? To send a signal to Africa.”
His shocking words conveyed just how determined the man was in executing his death plan. As another Italan daily Corriere della Sera noted, the words of Ousseynou Sy are a confirmation of the strategic outlook of the driver.
He certainly does not even fear justice and the long legal process that he will have to face. “That’s nothing, I took it into account. I wanted a consequential gesture. The world had to talk about me,” he confided to his lawyer.
His legal council believes his attitude is due to a mental infirmity. “In my judgment, he showed serious signs of imbalance, and the manner in which the investigating judge had to carry out the interrogation was aimed out verifying this aspect,” said the lawyer, Davide Lacchini.
“To him, he was not interested in the national reaction, but the impact on an international level that his action could have. He wanted to go to Linate [Milan’s airport] alone. Today, as yesterday, he constantly repeated that he didn’t want to hurt the children.”
But the preliminary investigations judge, however, said he had not seen any signs of mental imbalance. Milan prosecutors on Friday requested that Sy be kept behind bars, arguing that there is a danger he could try to do something similar if released.
When Sy hijacked a bus at Crema near Cremona on Wednesday, he doused it with petrol before torching it. The children were saved after law enforcement intervened. Italy’s Ministry of Defence posted a tweet thanking authorities for rescuing the children.
After the attack on the bus, he was detained in the San Vittore prison where other inmates pelted him with eggs and oranges on his arrival. One projectile landed against his cell.
The other prisoners did not allow him to get any sleep either. He is located in the fifth corridor for protected prisoners, those who cannot be jailed together with the others. Inside the prison, criminals who attack children, receive an added penalty with which they have to contend on a daily basis.
This rule has not changed for Sy, who already experienced the hostility he will have to face from now on. He was seen in his cell wearing a t-shirt and jeans and a checkered shirt. As reported by Corriere, the clothes he wore on the bus, have been partially burned.
Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini said after the incident that police had raided the Sy’s house. Salvini questioned why the African was allowed to drive a school bus with his criminal record of sexual harassment and drunken driving.
The minister explained that there was also a possibility that his citizenship could be taken away if he is convicted of terror. The removal of his citizenship would be done under a security decree introduced by the country in 2018.
Giorgia Meloni — the leader of the anti-immigration party Fratelli d’Italia [Brothers of Italy] and a member of the Italian Chamber of Deputies — said it was imperative to strip Sy of his Italian citizenship.
“And if in the previous administration had passed draft law propose by the Brothers of Italy that deals with the withdrawal of citizenship from all migrants who commit crimes, this person — because of his criminal record — wouldn’t be an Italian citizen now,” Meloni said.

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.
