Anti-racism has become a new intellectual racism
Racist! How many times have you read or heard this word in 2019? Actually, too many times says Italian journalist Francesco Maria Del Vigo.

News agencies have repeated the term “racism” more than 2500 times, seven times a day in Italy. Racist has become an inflated, freeze-dried term, deprived of its meaning. The left use it as a club to silence everything on its right, indiscriminately blaming it on everything that goes wrong.
The insult has become a crazy heterogenesis of sorts. It can be explained as the follwing conundrum : of course racism exists and must be avoided, but if we are all racists – as a good part of the radical intelligentsia claims – no one is racist because the term then loses its meaning.
If one mentions Italians should be considered first, or the ports of the country should be closed to illegal entries, or affirm that the migratory flows should be regulated, or denounce that in the peripheries of Italian cities there is a security problem often linked to immigration, or note in an article the nationality of those who commit a crime or use the word “gypsy”, then you qualify as a racist
Obviously this is a problem and the problem is not racism. The category of “racism” was clearly invented to shut up the opponent, to limit free speech because the users of the term do not have the strength to launch a debate which they would not be able to control.
And the real paradox is precisely this: the intellectual racism of the anti-racists against the alleged racists.
“Racist” is the scarlet letter to be stuck on the opponent’s forehead to delegitimize him or her, to remove any political viability they may have and to shun that person from the restricted traffic area of the public debate.
Those who benefit from this lexical and ideological brew are the real racists, who end up camouflaging themselves in the shapeless mass of the “widespread racist”, the public enemy invented ad hoc by the left to give themselves some legroom to advance globalism.
Italy is the country of common sense the “racists” complain, common sense that they hope in 2020 will allow them to forget, at least for a while, about the false racism emergency in order to deal with more serious things facing them on a daily basis.
Greta Thunberg has also used the insult, claiming that the “climate crisis” is about fighting the “colonial, racist, and patriarchal systems of oppression”.
In an op-ed published in Project Syndicate, Thunberg said: “Colonial, racist, and patriarchal systems of oppression have created and fueled it [the climate crisis]. We need to dismantle them all. Our political leaders can no longer shirk their responsibilities.”
Thunberg said that her goal was “to change everything”.
Another one of the eurogreens supporting Thunberg is Yanis Varoufakis, the former Greek Finance Minister. Varoufakis is a superstar of the socialist far-left and part of the Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 (DiEM25). The objectives of DiEM25 include blending Europe’s “diverse political traditions — Green, radical left, liberal — in order to repair the EU”. By “repairing” Europe they mean expanding the role of global government via the same vague notions of “anti-racism”.
According to Varoufakis, a key part of the new socialist plan for Europe “will require recreating European institutions and a political economy that includes a massive Green New Deal or similar strategy”.
The broader population of workers and middle-class voters are being taken for a ride, argues Canadian journalist Terence Corcoran.
“Accepting that climate change is a real global problem to be solved does not mean abandoning the benefits of market capitalism,” he says. In the meantime voters are being policed by the leftist lexicon brigade.
The Green New Deal socialism will never happen, at least not in the United States. “There’s no evidence that any government is remotely capable of governing on the scale that they [the globalists] are talking about. The result would be unimaginable levels of unnecessary secondary consequences,” noted Arthur Brookes.
Also it is not possible to build a wind turbine without one to two tons of copper and cement to hold it down. Similarly, solar panels cannot be made without aluminum and glass, which is made with sand which is mined. And racism has nothing to do with that reality.

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.
The Establishment Wants to Ban Germany’s Second Largest Party – for the Sake of Democracy
The rising popularity of AfD has raised strong concerns within the establishment. Despite lies and demonization in the media and isolation from the overall political establishment, the party continues to grow. Certain representatives of the party are accused of becoming increasingly "extreme," and in an unusual move, the influential weekly newspaper Der Spiegel demanded that AfD be "banned."
