What does BLM really want?

Black Lives Matter often makes claims that seem obvious: "Stop killing blacks because of their skin colour". In fact, the movement has a wide range of requirements, including that our entire society be adapted to what people consider to be the needs of black people - at both national and global levels.

    Not only do they want the redistribution of even more tax money to blacks, but legalizing drug trafficking and prostitution are also part of their demands. No journalists in the system media seem interested in the real issues.

    The strategy is common in radical leftist movements: in the outward propaganda, one reduces his demands to sound so obvious and humble that only an evil racist could oppose them. “Colored people all over the nation are crying to be heard. Stop killing our sons and daughters. Stop terrorizing our communities. Give us justice,” Larry Fitzgerald, a renowned American football player, opined in the New York Times.

    How Fitzgerald is included in Black Lives Matter’s real agenda is unclear – it is rarely discussed in the mainstream media even though the real agenda is available on the internet. In August 2016, some fifty BLM organizations under the collective name Movement for Black Lives (M4BL) published the movement’s platform for social change – and it is extremely far-reaching.

    Despite the popularity that BLM enjoys with mainstream media, in Sweden only the conservative weekly Nya Tider has gone to the trouble of unearthing what the movement actually wants to achieve. One can only speculate as to why other newspapers have chosen not to address the specific demands of the movement.

    In a lengthy tribute to BLM by journalist Shoran Esmailian, the requirements were listed as follows: “It contains six horizontal requirements, with more than forty concrete proposals for legislative changes, such as demilitarization of the police and decriminalization of certain drugs.” She further praised BLM for now having a concrete platform to work for.

    The requirements list is divided into six sections. Some of the requirements are obvious, such as the abolition of the death penalty and that prisons should not be run for profit. But many of the requirements also entail a very far-reaching adaptation of the entire society to the black minority in rich Western countries. The sections briefly contain the following:

    1) “End the war against blacks.”

    Here, the justice system needs to be adapted to what people consider to be the needs of black people. For example, schools should not be allowed to turn away criminal students, landlords should not deny contracts to criminals, criminal acts should not be able to result in revoked voting rights, police should not be allowed to use high-tech surveillance in black areas, and illegal and/or criminal immigrants should not be able to deported. On the website, suggestions that police and prisons be completely abolished, are also proposed.

    The logic behind these demands is that blacks, who make up less than 13 percent of the US population, account for nearly 30 percent of those arrested by police and up to 50 percent of serious violent offenders. Measures against criminals therefore affect blacks more than others, BLM believes.

    2) “Compensation.”

    Tax money should be distributed to blacks as compensation for all perceived injustices, from colonialism and slavery that affected their ancestors hundreds of years ago because blacks today face “mass imprisonment” (blacks are imprisoned when they commit crimes ) and “food apartheid” (fast food chains serve unhealthy food in black areas). Blacks should have lifetime access to free, high-quality education (“including for illegals, prisoners and former prisoners”), retroactive student loan write-off, guaranteed minimum income, and reparations for slavery and discrimination paid in cash.

    None of these privileges should be for white people, except perhaps free education.

    3) “Invest/divest.”

    Money must be taken from the police and judiciary to be given to blacks in the form of various social programs. Drug trafficking and prostitution should be made legal (“all drug related offenses and prostitution” – not just “certain drugs” as Shoran Esmailian falsely claims) and compensation should be paid to anyone convicted of such crimes in the form of various social programs.

    Requirements for green energy and reduced military spending are included in this section.

    4) “Economic justice.”

    Further demands for “a radical and sustainable redistribution of wealth” from whites to blacks are made – not only within the United States but throughout the world: across and within black communities globally. All this financial support should go through organizations led by, or approved by, blacks.
    No demands for self-determination for whites are proposed however.

    5) “Local control.”

    Local communities should gain self-determination over the local police and school authorities – be able to hire or dismiss staff, decide on disciplinary sanctions, and control over budget and policy issues.

    6) “Political power.”

    In the US, the right to vote is suspended when one commits serious crimes, and in order to vote one must register as a voter well in advance of the election. This is something that Movement for Black Lives wants to change through a wide range of measures that will simplify the vote of those who are too lazy or politically uninterested in registering, and by allowing illegal immigrants to vote in local and state elections.

    They also demand “the release of all political prisoners”. Although no names are given, the faces of police killers Mumia Abu-Jamal and Assata Shakur are often seen on sweaters or placards during BLM demonstrations.

    Rumours are rife in South Africa that Assata Shakur is hiding in Johannesburg suggesting that she is being protected by the ruling ANC. An inside source told FWM that there has been a $2 million reward for her capture and arrest since 2013 and that she is not in Cuba as is being alleged. She is on the FBI Most Wanted Terrorists list, as Joanne Deborah Chesimard.

    White race separatists have expressed support for BLM’s demand for self-determination for blacks if they were reciprocal, but stated that they were not. “They want us to stop interfering in their business but at the same time retain the right to intervene in ours,” Lawrence Murray wrote on Counter-Currents Publishing when the requirements list was launched.

    The list of requirements can be found on the movement’s website: m4bl.org/policy-platforms.

    Meanwhile, Swedish Democrat MP Björn Söder has in a written question to the Interior Minister asked whether the Swedish government intends to list the radical far-left organisation Antifa (AFA) as terrorists. Antifa, closely linked to BLM, has a long history of threats, assassinations, and violence against its opponents.

    “AFA’s actions have in many cases been violent, and the organisation has taken on the blame for, among other things, assassinations, mistreatment, and threats against actors who are seen as opponents. They believe that violence is a legitimate method to use to achieve their goals”, Söder wrote in his inquiry.

    SÄPO, the Swedish Security Police, believe the extremists pose a threat to the basic functions of democracy, as well as individual freedoms and rights.

    “In the wake of George Floyd’s death, AFA, along with the racist network Black Lives Matter, orchestrated violent demonstrations and riots both in the US and elsewhere in the world (including Sweden), where damage to businesses and buildings has been enormous and people have been abused and killed,” Söder soberly pointed out.

    The SD politician alluded to US President Donald Trump who previously announced that Antifa would be listed as a terrorist group in the US.

    “Sweden has previously referred to the EU and UN terror classification. However, it is obvious that these ratings are not always sufficient. In order to maintain democracy and freedom, it is important that activities that are violent and paramilitary can be classified as terrorism and thus meet the resistance of society at completely different levels”, Söder added.

    1. Nothing new in these BLM demands. They’ve simply copied South Africa’s ANC programme of 1980. Even the colours are the same: yellow/black

    2. The BLM are also run by the Black panthers which is a terrorist’s organization , further more the Crypts are supporters of BLM . When a mob of people that are organized loot lay siege to government run organizations , and use mob violence and vandalize ( like taking down the statute of a 2 very great men of integrity Albert Pike and General Lee , this is Organized crime and is by all definition of the word a terrorist criminal enterprise . They justify their action by saying ” we were slaves we suffer discriminations so we have a right to use mob violence ” What about my people ( My people are Pagans ) we were enslaved we were raped , tortured and murdered by the invading Christian Romans . Even to this day I suffer discrimination for being a Witch , I am even banned from a whole state in the US because I am a know Warlock Priest of Celtic descent . So tell me again about white privalage cause I missed out on that one . Fact is Blacks have more rights and privilege’s then Whites . BLM is a Racist organization , and those who support them are racist and prejudice

    DESTRUCTIVE HAILSTORMS will become more frequent and violent with increasingly larger hail, predicted solar researcher Valentina Zharkova back in 2019 when she stated that it's one of many signs of an impending Grand Solar Minimum. This is exactly what we have witnessed this year in both Europe and the world. Here is the German town of Benediktbeuern in Bavaria after a hailstorm on August 26th. Almost all rooftops and cars were damaged. The centuries-old church and monastery were damaged for the first time ever. Interestingly, the monastery was rebuilt in 1699 during the Maunder Minimum. Combined with heavy rainfall, extreme weather will devastate a significant portion of our food production. For instance, heavy rainfall destroyed a quarter of all crops in Greece in just two days in September. However, mainstream media remains silent. Photo: X @safe0007/Sandor Feher

    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.

    NATIONALIST COLLABORATION TAKES SHAPE. Six parties met in Budapest on August 26th to sign a joint declaration confirming the friendship and political unity among the parties. The goal is to either form a new group in the European Parliament after the EU elections in June next year or to reconstitute the existing Identity and Democracy (ID) group with the new parties.

    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.

    Alternative for Germany held its conference during the last weekend of July in the thousand-year-old city of Magdeburg, located by the Elbe River in the eastern German state of Saxony. The first of the two conference days began with a strong program speech by the party's male spokesperson. Subsequently, party officials were elected and motions were addressed. The second day was entirely devoted to candidate selection and positioning for the EU election in June next year. Screenshot: AfD on Facebook

    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.

    Maximilian Krah is one of the AfD politicians who is singled out as an ethnonationalist, as he has stated that there is a distinction between ethnic Germans and immigrants who have obtained German citizenship. Krah is a Member of the European Parliament and AfD's top candidate for the upcoming European Union election next year. Still image: AfD on Facebook

    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."

    FvD was quick to support the protests against covid restrictions. Today, the party also stands behind the farmers protests against the governments’ plans to close a big portion of the farms in the country for the sake of “climate”.
