France: National tribute to be held for beheaded teacher
Large demonstrations of support are expected across France after the beheading of Samuel Paty, a teacher decapitated because he had shown a cartoon of Mohammed to his pupils. But the protests come late, too late for the history teacher who spoke about freedom of expression in his class.

Around a thousand people gathered on Saturday afternoon in front of the college of Bois d’Aulne a Conflans-Saint-Honorine (Yvelines) where Samuel Paty, (47) and the father of a family, was a teacher of history-geography at this establishment, French daily Le Matin reported.
The teacher, known for his investment in his pupils, was “very well-thought of,” said one French parent, whose 13-year-old son attends the college. In the morning, white roses were placed at the entrance to the college in this residential quarter, where pupils and parents are still in a state of shock.
Representatives of the principal political parties, associations, and unions will demonstrated on Sunday in Paris at the emblematic Square of the Republic, and in numerous other cities. A national tribute will be held on Wednesday, the Élysée announced. And a defense meeting, presided over by Emmanuel Macron, took place on Sunday. “Other expressions and announcements are planned after the meetings,” according to the executive.
On 4 March 2020 the killer had obtained a residence permit valid until March 2030 to stay in France. He had refugee status, and resided at Evreux in Normandy.
Ten people were in custody on Saturday, including the parents, grandfather, and younger brother of the assailant, detained in Evreux (Eure). Also in custody is the father of one pupil who had called for action against the teacher. He was placed in custody at Chanteloup-les-Vignes.
The man who accompanied this individual to the college to complain about the teacher, and who interviewed the daughter of this parent of a pupil in a video, the militant Islamist, Abdelhakim Sefrioui, has been active in France since the 2000s. Both Sefrioui and his companion were also arrested.
Known to the intelligence services for years already, this radical Islamist and self-proclaimed imam, is one of the key players in the drama that led to the beheading of Samuel Paty. The militant had denounced the “irresponsible and aggressive” behavior of the teacher, a consequence according to him of “the call of the President of the Republic to hate the Muslims”. He is a public figure close to the Muslim Brotherhood.
“It’s been five to six years, that children of 12-13 years, Muslims, have been shocked, have been attacked, have been humiliated in front of their comrades,” Sefrioui said in his diatribe against the teacher.
Born in 1959 in Morocco, he became French after his marriage to a convert who militates with him. The imam is also listed on the S-file for radicals.
More than 8000 people have been registered in the file for terrorist radicalization (FSPRT) the French Minister of the Interior Darmanin announced, specifying that the “terrorist risk of Sunni origin remained the main threat facing our country”.
There are currently 231 foreigners on French territory in an irregular situation and under surveillance for radicalization “that we must expel”, including 180 currently imprisoned, Darmanin added.

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.

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.
