Zurich artist collective demands racial segregation
Last week, a self-proclaimed collective of black artists occupied the Gessnerallee theater in downtown Zurich. Their goal was to introduce apartheid and racial segregation: The African activists demanded a "non-white theater house".

The collective Experi-Theater, consists exclusively of black artists.
The BLM movement and its efflorescence not only demand a cult-like fanaticism from whites, but have also turned institutionalized racial segregation into a fashionable pursuit for black people. Those insisting that “black lives matter” have evidently also embraced the notion that “only black lives matter”.
Thus BLM has become a contradiction that is challenged least of all by its members. Apartheid has rarely been so succinctly and emphatically embraced as the Zurich “artist collective” managed to do with their occupation campaign.
Humans apparently identify with the color of their skin
In addition to the obligatory “Black Lives Matter”, a banner was hung out of the windows of the theater (suitably painted in the Ukrainian national colors of blue and yellow) which read: “Non-White Theaterhaus/House of Anti-Racism”.
The background to the action is a “spatial conflict” that has arisen since a recent renovation. The collective had previously used the workshop and individual rooms of the theater on their own initiative, but because they were now supposed to clear them, they instead opted to man the barricades… of apartheid.
The management of the Theater Gessnerallee have said they were committed to racial inclusion. The group of people of color from the art scene has nevertheless occupied part of the building for over a month and has denied entry to white people. Unsurprisingly, no one dares to take action – the issue is far too sensitive.
‘White Brutality’
The collective of “anti-white racists”, who, according to Weltwoche, received CHF 117 000 in state subsidies from the city of Zurich in 2022 alone, denounced “white brutality”. The Swiss taxpayer is therefore allowed to pay for the artist collective’s dream of racial segregation.
On social media, the group attacked their sponsors: “We no longer tolerate the brutality of established white institutions like the Gessnerallee Theater.” The theater wanted to destroy “their space, their works, their voices and their existence,” they said.
Theater director of Nigerian origin
There is one particularly bizarre fact in this whole saga: The occupied theater itself is run by a mixed-race woman: Michelle Akanji, whose father is from Nigeria. Despite that, the collective addressed their demand for a “non-white theater” with the program to be “curated” in such a way that from now on it would be possible for “…non-BIPoC” to “unlearn white practices” in that only “Black, Indigenous and People of Color” are allowed to work in the “safer space”.
Actually, the correct English is “safe space”, but taking over half-baked American slogans has not deterred the apartheid activists.
Inclusion leads to strife
In 2020, three young women took over the management of the Theaterhaus Gessnerallee in the heart of Zurich, announcing a new era for the cultural venue and the clearing of the stage for “inclusion, equality, tolerance and diversity”.
Akanji also happens to be the sister of national team player Manuel Akanji, and worked with the exclusively black group from the Experi Theater from the start. Its founder, director and director is Vijayashanthan Pakkiyanathan from Sri Lanka, who had come to Switzerland as an asylum seeker.
The latter’s unwavering will and commitment paid off: As the Tagesanzeiger reported, the Experi Theater has so far received not only funding amounting to CHF 207 000 from the city of Zurich in the last two years alone. A year ago, the artist collective was also awarded a sponsorship prize from the Canton of Zurich, endowed with CHF 30 000.
Meanwhile, the theater management, the artist collective and the city have been trying to find a solution through mediation. The NZZ reported that the first breakthrough has been achieved: The Experi Theater withdrew from the north wing last week. It is not clear how much money was involved to make the activists change their minds, but some sources speak of considerable amounts.

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.

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."
