Electoral push from Brussels to abolish nations
In the spirit of supranational organizations and globalist interest groups of "global governance", another hurdle is to be cleared on the way to the EU central state in May: The change in the electoral law for the European Parliament is up for voting.
Published: April 14, 2022, 10:21 am
From now on, “transnational lists” with candidates from various member states are to be increasingly elected, and no longer national candidates. This further reduces the connection between voters and their “representatives”.
Domènec Ruiz Devesa put forward the single list motion to essentially disempower nation states. Since 2021, he has been part of the Parliament’s delegation to the Conference on the Future of Europe. In addition to his committee assignments, Ruiz Devesa is a member of the European Parliament Intergroup on LGBT Rights. Wikipedia
In the shadow of the Ukraine war, supporters of a strictly centralized European Union continue to disempower the member states. At the request of the socialist MEP Domènec Ruiz Devesa, the European Parliament’s Committee on Constitutional Affairs supported a legislative initiative by 19 votes to nine at the end of March, which is intended to replace the current European Electoral Law for the European Parliament (EP).
The MEPs are now to be elected from Europe-wide lists of candidates. The voters do not know these representatives in the slightest and they no longer have any linguistic or cultural ties with these individuals. From the point of view of the proponents, a “European identity should be strengthened”; however, the exact opposite is the case.
The “geographical representation” of the lists is also supposed to ensure that smaller member states are not “disadvantaged in competition”. A new European electoral authority is to be responsible for registering the lists. The EU-wide lists of candidates are to be submitted by European electoral bodies.
FPÖ and AfD are resisting, but old parties want to abolish themselves
The proposal still has to be voted on in the EP plenary session on May 3. All EP groups in which Austrian parties are represented (European People’s Party – EPP (ÖVP), Social Democrats – S&D (SPÖ), Liberals – Renew (NEOS) and Greens (Verts/ALE)) have already voted in favor of the proposal. Only the rightwing FPÖ voted unanimously against it. The situation is similar in Germany, where all the old parties except for the anti-immigration, rightwing AfD are in favor of the initiative.
The FPÖ MEP Dr. Georg Mayer explained the push to Austrian weekly Wochenblick: “The new EU electoral law is a foreshadowing or the next step in the planned establishment of the EU unitary state. Austrians should be forced to vote for any candidate from Spain, Malta or Greece that they don’t even know or understand. That is completely absurd and highly questionable in terms of democratic policy.”
The principle according to which each member state appoints and sends its representatives in the EU Parliament is to be broken up and effective representation of any country prevented.
“It should also be a goal of this reform to eliminate the barriers that hinder the rights to vote of persons with disabilities, members of minorities or as a result of residence in a different country.
“Arguably, the purely political dimension of the elections is more important than the legal framework. It remains challenging to generate a pan-European debate, one that can surpass the noise of 27 simultaneous national elections that often revolve around domestic issues or examine the national government in office,” according to the Spanish politician.
Even as an MEP, Georg Mayer knows that the electorate in a representative democracy needs a connection to their politicians and he is against the abolition of the national lists.
The Devesa report noted that European political parties should replace national political parties, since these are best placed to “contribute to the development of European political awareness”. The European Parliament is not made up of the people of the member states, but from “representatives of the citizens of the Union”.
The bill would disenfranchise millions of European voters on the basis of a residence qualification and deprive them of the right to vote for someone who has their local (and best) interests at heart.
Mayer held the ÖVP responsible for this development: “All this is only possible because parties like the ÖVP, which at home always pretend to represent national or Austrian interests, bow down to Brussels and vote for more centralization and disempowerment of the citizens.” On May 3, there is still the opportunity to correct this massive mistake during the vote in Strasbourg.

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 NWO, 1984, one world government as planned with the inception of this unelected EU cabal, enjoined by the mafia governing parties of conspiring member states is on the move. The psychopaths, drenched in evil will need to be dealt with before their release of their FIRST truly devastating pandemic, already being advertised on the world stage by Bill Gates. As if a signal to the henchmen to prepare for the next attack on the worlds culturally diverse communities, a grand mosaic of life, that which makes this planet an extremely interesting, colorful and multi dimensional environment. These are the characteristics of our world that give it, its dynamic magnificence. Societies elites and the evil in their and their conspiring power mongers black hearts will destroy this pulchritude to replace it with a grey dystopian landscape that amplifies a jack-botted fascist communist tyranny.
