Ursula von der Leyen honored by Atlantic Council – together with Turkish BioNTech founders
The President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen received an award from the Atlantic Council on November 10, 2021 in Washington, DC. Together with her, the top managers from Pfizer and BioNTech were honored. The mutual admiration society praised each other for the "successes" of the vaccination campaign.

On November 10, 2021 Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, Albert Bourla, the Chairman and CEO of Pfizer, as well as two Turkish-born billionaires Professor Uğur Şahin and Dr. Özlem Türeci, the co-founders of BioNTech, were handed the “Distinguished Leadership Awards,” for “outstanding leadership qualities”.
The Atlantic Council, an American think tank that has existed for 60 years, is interested in securing the “global future”. It justified the award to the four honorees citing “their vision, their strength of character and their commitment to a more secure future”.
Şahin (55) and Türeci (63), a married couple responsible for the experimental Covid-19 vaccine, set up Ganymed Pharmaceuticals – a biopharmaceutical developing cancer drugs. Ganynmed was sold to Japanese multinational pharmaceutical company Astellas in 2016, for $1.4 billion. They co-founded BioNTech with the help of The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
The Turkish couple now rank among the 100 richest Germans, as reported by German newspaper Welt am Sonntag.
A cringeworthy self-aggrandizing fest
After receiving the award, the President of the EU Commission praised Pfizer chief Albert Bourla for his service to humanity and for his “vaccine based on mRNA technology”, which had previously “never been approved” or “produced on a large scale”.
“And we trusted each other. And after you developed your vaccine for Covid-19, you immediately began mass production without waiting for approval – a decision that has been labeled risky and unorthodox. You chose to do it, risking billions of dollars because if you didn’t try, the whole world would pay the price. And by doing that, you and your team may have saved millions of lives.” Sadly there has been no data backing this up, and certainly not in Germany.
The EU boss continued on a personal note: “With this award, dear Albert, we celebrate your successes and your entrepreneurial spirit. We also celebrate your incredible partnership with Uğur Şahin and Özlem Türeci. You have come together as scientists and fellow human beings and have worked together for the benefit of all of humanity. Another success story added to the story of our transatlantic partnership.”
Bourla replied that he was “speechless” by “Ursula’s kind words” – and that he had “almost cried”. Then he heaped equal amounts of lofty praise on the EU’s dear leader. Bourla incidentally had previously denounced the “small circle” of vaccine skeptics: “These are criminals.”
The EU Commission under von der Leyen signed a third contract with BioNTech-Pfizer in May 2021, with which it ordered 1,8 billion doses of the BioNTech preparation for the period between the end of 2021 and 2023.
Germany’s RKI has been preparing for at least six booster shots and state of emergency until the end of 2023 since the beginning of September, according to leaked files.

Family ties
Aside from her affection for Pfizer, the European Commission President also has certain family connections with other companies in the US pharmaceutical industry. For example, since September 2020 her husband Heiko von der Leyen has been the medical director of the US biopharmaceutical company Orgenesis which sees its future in cell and gene therapy to treat cancer.
A group of EU parliamentarians recently reprimanded the EU Commission for only providing MEPs with copies of EU contracts with pharmaceutical companies that had largely been blacked out.

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."

MSM is trying to make fun of people wanting to protect themselves with cheap and proven drugs. Ivermectin has been FDA approved for human use since 1996. It also beats Pfizer’s new wonder drug hands down, and costs next to nothing. Ivermectin doesn’t make tons of money. So they know the Covid shot is on its final gasp, so they take it add something different to it, rebrand under another name and charge 20 times what they would for ivermectin. I cannot wrap my head around this nonsense. When I explain this to my relatives they label me as crazy and ask me if I know better than science. I don’t make up these information out of my ass. All this information is true and proven. For some people it is near impossible for them to wake up. They are comfortable in their clown world life.
