Udviklet af Daniel Bethlehem, den daværende lovrådgiver for Netanyahu's regering og senere Tony Blairs, siger Bethlehem Doktrinen, at stater har ret til "forebyggende selvforsvar" mod "forestående angreb". Det er noget som de fleste mennesker, de fleste internationale retseksperter og dommere ville acceptere, heunder jeg.
Hvad få mennesker og næsten ingen internationale jurister accepterer er nøglen til Bethlehem Doktrinen - at "forestående" - ordet som så omhyggeligt blev brugt at Pompeo - ikke behøver at have sin almindelige betydning af at enten "snart" eller "forestående". Et angreb kan ifølge Bethlehem Doktrinen vurderes "forestående" selv om man ikke har detaljer om, hvornår det vil finde sted. Så man kan dræbes af en drone eller et bombeangreb - og doktrinen var specielt udviklet til at retfærdiggøre sådanne angreb - fordi i kraft af "efterretningsoplysninger" er du i gang med et plot, når disse efterretningsoplysninger hverken siger hvad plottet er eller hvornår det måtte finde sted. Eller sat mere på spidsen, fordi det er efterretningsoplysninger må der have være et plot før, så det er rimeligt at dræbe dig i tilfælde, af at du gør det igen.
Jeg opfinder ikke Bethlehem Doktrinen. Det har i et årti været Israelske, Amerikanske og Britiske regeringer formelle retslige begrundelse for droneangreb og målrettedeangreb. Her er den formuleret i akademisk paper format offentliggjort af Bethlehem efter han forlod regeringstjenesten (den form i hvilken den er adopteret af de amerikanske, britiske og israelske regeringer er en klassificeret information).

Efter undersøgelse af årsagerne så har det australske politi konkluderet at pyromaner og lynnedslag har været skyld i ildebrandene...ikke menneskabt klimaforandring.

This past month at least 150 houses were also destroyed by fast-moving woodland fires in the Chilean city of Valparaíso. Residential areas were still burning on Christmas Day.
Snow covered the ground across nearly half of the lower 48 states of the US - 46.2 percent of land mass - the largest area for early December since snow cover records began in 2003. The snow cover also reached as far south as Mexico's northern regions.
Iceland also recorded record snow cover of 30 feet this December, while 8,000 vehicles were stranded in Kashmir as a result of 3 feet of snow.
Atlantic storms Elsa and Fabien wreaked havoc from France and Spain to Italy. At least nine deaths were reported due to the dual storms that rocked western and central Europe. The strong winds resulted in more than 118,000 power outages, the majority of which were reported in France.
Fabien also caused flooding in Venice where a sudden downpour of 3 inches combined with high tides inundated parts of the city.
Heavy rain, floods and landslides continued this month, resulting in widespread damage to homes and livelihoods around the world: 150 people were killed in Kenya; 4 died in Khuzestan Province, Iran; thousands were affected in Nariño and 8 missing in Tolima, Colobia; Beirut city was paralyzed and 50 houses were under water in Sigi, Indonesia.
A 6.9 magnitude earthquake hit southern Philippines, killing at least one person and causing several injuries. Roads and buildings, including the local government office, were damaged.

Til hvilken krig henviste Trump?

Sikke et år 2019 har været. Åbent oprør er udbrudt i mange lande, terrorisme og "tilfældige grusomheder" fortsætter i uformindsket omfang. Vejret er blevet mere ekstremt end nogensinde. Regeringer er blevet mere korrupte og hæmningsløse en nogensinde. Det anti-humane sociale justeringsvanvid er flyttet fra universiteterne til arbejdspladsen og ind i skolerne og asteroider suser forbi vores lille tabte planet i et alarmerende omfang.
Selvom det har gæret i adskillige år - specielt siden den "dobbelte overraskelse" med valget af Trump og resultatet af Brexit afstemningen - så tog massecensuren et vældigt spring i 2019. Takket være at visse regeringer læner sig op af store Tech Firmaer, har selve internettets natur ændret sig dette år. Udrensningen af dissidente stemmer, som vores, fra søgeresultater og sociale medier har væsentligt afbleget sandhedens internet og erstattet det med tyrehornene fra massemediernes propaganda og ekstremistisk "sort og hvidt" retorik.
Som et resultat er vores læserskarer, som voksede i det meste af sin 18 årige historie igen faldet markant i dette år - med 37 % i forhold til 2018. Siden 2016, er vores enkeltstående besøg faldet med 55%! Vi kunne skrige og råbe over det, men vi tror ikke, det vil gøre noget godt. Faktisk er der for meget skrigen og råben i disse dage - om hvad som helst og alting - det gør helt klart ikke nogen noget godt. Det er derfor, at Sott.net har ændret sine anstrengelser fra at "vække folk op" til a uddybe sine forbindelser med dem "som allerede ser".
I disse tider med monumentale usandfærdigheder, distraktioner 24/7 og sociopolitisk galskab, er fællesskab mere vigtigt end nogensinde. Der er kun så meget "fælleskab", du kan deltage i via din computerskærm, men uanset hvor du er, og i hvilken tilstand du befinder dig selv i, så husk altid, at det vigtigste er, HVEM du er, og hvad du SER.
SOTT Fokus: SOTT Resumé af Jordomvæltninger for november 2019: Ekstremt Vejr, Uro på Kloden, Meteorer og Ildkugler
i trit med mønstret fra de seneste år så ankom vinteren igen tidligt i mange dele af den nordlige halvklode, forstyrrende den vanlige rhytme og fødevareproduktionen. USA så nye kulde- og snefaldsrekorder over det meste af dets territorium, selvom fanatikere for 'Extinction Rebellion' krævede yderligere reduktioner af menneskabt CO2 for 'at redde kloden fra overophedning'. Usædvanlige snefald og tidlige frosttemperaturer efterlod også deres mærke i Europa, dele af Afrika, Asien, og dele af Mellemøsten.

Heavy rain, floods, and landslides also wreaked havoc this month, with South Sudan, Kenya, Congo, Algeria, the UK, France, the Philippines, Australia, and northern Mexico all affected by hundreds of deaths, thousands displaced and significant damage to local infrastructure. Italy was hit once again by extreme weather this month: storms, floods, and early snow left a path of destruction across several provinces.
Our viewers will not be surprised to learn that a significant number of meteor fireballs and unexpected NEOs also made an appearance in our skies last month, shocking and delighting many eyewitnesses and leaving many experts wondering whether their claim that they can track all dangerous NEOs is really just 'pie in the sky'.
All that and more in this month's SOTT Earth Changes Summary...
Mens nogen overtænker nogle få ting engang imellem, bruger kroniske overtænkere det meste af deres vågne tid på at overtænke, hvilket sætter dem under pres. De misforstår så dette som værende et udtryk for stress.
"Der er mennesker, som har niveauer af overtænkning, der simpelt hen er sygelige" siger klinisk psykolog Catherine Pittman, lektor ved instituttet for psykologi ved Saint Mary's College i Notre Dame i den amerikanske stat Indiana.
"Men gennemsnitsmennesket har også en tendens til at overtænke tingene." Pittman er desuden forfatter til bogen "Rewire Your Anxious Brain: How to Use the Neuroscience of Fear to End Anxiety, Panic, and Worry." (På dansk er ideen i titlen: Dan nye forbindelser i din bekymrede hjerne: hvordan du kan bruge neurovidenskabens indsigt i frygt til at gøre en ende på angst, panic og bekymringer.)
Overtænkning kan tage mange former: endeløst at overveje, når der skal foretages en beslutning (og så stille spørgsmål ved beslutningen), at prøve at læse andres sind, at prøve at forudsige fremtiden, at læse de mindste detaljer osv.
Folk, som overtænker konsistent, kører kommentarer i deres hoveder, kritiserer og skiller fra hinanden, hvad de har sagt og gjort i går, er skræmte over, at de tager sig dårligt ud - og bekymrer sig over den frygtelige fremtid, der måtte vente dem.
Disse "hvisser" og "burder" dominerer deres tænkning, som om det var en usynlig juri der dømmer om deres liv. Og de piner sig også over at skrive noget online, fordi de er dybt bekymrede over, hvordan andre mennesker vil fortolke deres indlæg og opdateringer.
For det første ville der ikke være nogen masseproduktion af stål uden koks fra kokskul til at fjerne osygenet fra jernmalm. Folk kunne fælde træer i skoven for at lave trækul som så kunne bruges til at lave råjern og stål, men skovene ville hurtigt blive fældet. Kul reddede skovene fra denne skæbne.
Vi kunne producere guld og søvl uden at bruge hydrocarboner, og med snilde kunne vi sandsynligvis producere uraffineret kobber, bly og tin samt legeringer som messing og bronze. Men at lave store mængder af atombrændstof, cement, aluminium, forfinede metaller, plastik, nylon, syntetiske stoffer, petrokemikalier og PVC rør ville være umuligt.
Kommentar: Mere bekræftelse på, at medierne - i følge med korrupte internationale organisationer - har for vane at skabe falske nyheder for at retfærdiggøre krigsforbrydelser og støtte geopolitiske intriger.
Børn i Douma som helt klart ikke lider af nogen form for kemisk forgiftning, men som i stedet er skuespillere i en iscenesat fortælling.
En lækket email sidste nat indikerede på dramatisk vis, at FN's giftgas vagthund havde slagtet og censoreret en kritisk rapport om det påståede kemiske angreb i Syrien. Hvis underbygget vil afsløringerne være meget forlegende for Storbritannien, Frankrig og USA, som igangsatte et massivt militærangeb som gengældelse uden at vente på beviser for, at kemiske våben rent faktisk var blevet brugt.
Ubekræftede rapporter og videoer, der viste lig af voksne og børn i Douma, en forstad til Damaskus med fråde om munden, shokerede verden i april 2018 og ledte til et samlet vestligt angreb mod den påståede synder, Syrien, i hvilket mere end 100 missiler, herunder 7+0 Tomahawk krdysermissiler blev affyret.
Selvom rapporterne og filmene ikke kunne verificeres af uafhængige kilder, da den påståede hændelse fandt sted i en krigszone, der på daværende tidspunkt var under kontrollen af brutale militante islamister tog vestlige regeringer og mange vestlige medier dem for gode vare.
Præsident Donald Trump tweetede på daværende tidspunkt: "Mange døde, herunder kvinder og børn i et meningsløst KEMISK angreb i Syrien. Området for ugerningen er lukket ned og omringet af den Syriske hær, hvilket gør det fuldstædnigt utilgængeligt for den ydre verden. Præsident Putin og Iran er ansvarlige for at støtte Dyret Assad. Der bliver en stor pris at betale. Åbn området øjeblikkeligt for medicinsk hjælp og verificering. Endnu en humanitær katastrofe til ingen verdens nytte. SYGT!"
Kommentar: På daværende tidspunkt kunne enhver med et minimum af forståelse af Vestlige regeriners taktikker forstå, at de hysteriske påstande fra disse samme Vestlige regeringer og deres
føjelige medier om at Assad havde "bombet sit eget folk" helt og aldeles var vrøvl. Uheldigvis lader få mennesker i den vestlige verden til at have sans eller forståelse for ret meget mere end det, som de modtager fra deres regeringer og medierne.
På nuværende tidspunkt har den falske ide om at "Assad er en brutal diktator" med succes sat sig fast i sindet hos mennesker verden over, og det er højest usandsynligt, at denne lækkede information vil gøre noget for at ændre denne fortælling. Det er, når alt kommer til alt, sådan løgne og propaganda virker.
Kommentar: RT points out something the British Mail on Sunday omitted in the above report:
The email is consistent with what an OPCW whistleblower earlier told an expert panel by the Courage Foundation last month. It also gives credence to a scolding story in CounterPunch, which said Robert Fairweather, the chief of cabinet of then-Inspector General Ahmet Uzumcu, of being the driving force behind the alterations.
CounterPunch apparently cites the same internal email as well as claims by a whistleblower, who said Fairweather allowed three US officials to have an impact on the drafting process. The Americans pressured the OPCW into blaming the Syrian government. The organization leadership then decided it needed to include a 'smoking gun' in the final report the whistleblower said.
Fairweather is the recipient of the email, though interestingly his name was redacted by the Mail on Sunday for unclear reasons. The British newspaper, however, provided some additional details into how the preparation of the report happened. It said four increasingly censored versions of the document had been produced as OPCW management fought off dissenting voices among the scientists. The final version was released in March this year.

Bakspejl SOTT Fokus: JFK dokumenter afslører: CIA mind control, attentater, mafia, terrorisme, og mere
I et forbavsende udtryk for borgerjournalistik kastede internettet sig torsdag aften over dokumenterne og det gjadt også alle medarbejdere på TFTP. Den informationen man får ved at læse disse tidligere tophemmelige dokumenter afslører den mørke sandhed om CIA's skjulte, kriminelle og helt igennem terroristiske metoder.
Fra kontrol med sindet [mind control] til samarbejde med mafiaen og brugen af skjulte kemiske våben for at sulte uskyldige civile, CIA har opereret i det skjulte, brudt international lovgivning, og lagt alle øde, der kom dem på tværs.
The Free Thought Project har sammensat en liste af dokumenter fra JFK dokumenterne, som uddyber disse rent ud sat ondsinde fremgangsmåder i CIA
Kommentar: The number of documents withheld is more likely in the thousands, not hundreds. See: JFK files set for release today - no sign National Archives will actually do so without delays - UPDATE: CIA/FBI pressure Trump to withhold 3000 docs for "national security"
With that in mind, here are some more details gleaned from today's tiny release of documents. This document, dated Oct. 25, 1963, and written by FBI Agent Warren de Brueys, confirms that the FBI were keeping tabs on Oswald before the assassination (h/t TFTP):
"Will maintain contact with Cuban sources for any indication of additional activity on the part of subject organization which appears to have become inactive since the departure from New Orleans of LEE HARVEY OSWALD."
Mr. Belin: Well, now, the final area of my internal investigation relates to charges that the CIA was in some way conspiratorially involved with the assassination of President Kennedy. During the time of the Warren Commission, you were Deputy Director of Plans, is that correct?... but doesn't include Helms's answer. The document also contains this:
Mr. Helms: I believe so.
Mr. Belin: Is there any information involved with the assassination of President Kennedy, which in any way shows that Lee Harvey Oswald was in some way a CIA agent...
Helms was being questioned on the assassination of Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem, and whether the CIA was involved. He revealed that he was "not persuaded that President Nixon doesn't still believe that the Agency didn't have something to do with the demise" of Diem in 1963.After the assassination, the Soviet Union feared an all-out war, seeing the assassination as an "ultra-right" conspiracy and coup and predicting that "without leadership, some irresponsible general in the US might launch a missile at the Soviet Union." They described Oswald as "a neurotic maniac who was disloyal to his own country", but downplayed his ties to the Soviet Union. An unnamed informant apparently told U.S. spies that the KGB had proof that U.S. "President [Lyndon] Johnson was responsible for the assassination."
"The whole thing has been rather... heated by the fact that President Johnson used to go around saying that the reason President Kennedy was assassinated was that he had assassinated President Diem, and this was just justice," Helms said.
A document also records FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover's reactions to some aspects of the investigation. On Nov. 24, the day Ruby killed Oswald, he dictated this line: "There is nothing further on the Oswald case except that he is dead":
Hoover was critical of the Dallas Police Department's handling of the case, saying it could not have brought charges without the FBI's involvement. "We traced the weapon, we identified the handwriting, we identified the fingerprints on the brown bag," he said, adding that senior police had been seen too much on television.NBC adds:
The FBI director, working with then Deputy Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach, was also eager to release information on the event "so we can convince the public that Oswald is the real assassin."
It's not clear from the memo whether Hoover thought there might have been a conspiracy but didn't want it to be known or whether he sincerely believed Oswald acted alone and hoped to head off public fear and confusion.More tidbits (h/t RT):
Hoover also indicated that his concern may have been influenced, in part, by diplomacy, dictating that there could be serious international complications if the public thought Oswald might have been part of a larger plot.
Katzenbach is known from previously released documents to have shared Hoover's concern, writing in a memo the next day, on Nov. 25, 1963, that "the public must be satisfied that Oswald was the assassin; that he did not have confederates who are still at large; and that evidence was such that he would have been convicted at trial."
In the memo, Hoover excoriated the Dallas Police Department for not having prevented Oswald's killing by Ruby, a Dallas nightclub owner. The FBI had warned the police that Oswald's life was in danger, but nothing was done, he complained.
"Oswald having been killed today after our warnings to the Dallas Police Department was inexcusable," Hoover dictated. "It will allow, I am afraid, a lot of civil rights people to raise a lot of hell because he was handcuffed and had no weapon. There are bound to be some elements of our society who will holler their heads off that his civil rights were violated - which they were."
Hoover argued against appointing an independent commission to review the evidence, contending that the matter should be left to the Justice Department, the FBI's parent agency. Lyndon Johnson, the new president, announced the creation of the Warren Commission a few days later.
Oswald's meeting with 'KGB officer'Notice the weasel word "evidently". As MuckRock pointed out this week, Hoover said FBI files "do not contain any information to fully support" the CIA's assessment that Kostikov worked for the KGB's 13th Department. But U.S. businessman Brian Litman says he was - and he knows because he represented several ex-KGB officers, including Kostikov. According to a colleague of Kostikov, Pavel Nechiporenko, the meeting was entirely coincidental: Kostikov "said he arrived at the compound to find Oswald sitting there with his colleague, Pavel Yatskov, to whom Kostikov explained that the American had been there the previous day. Kostikov said Oswald 'was very riled up and broke into hysterics at the mention of the FBI, crying and saying as he wept: 'I'm afraid they'll kill me. Let me in.'' They gave him a glass of water and then went to a volleyball game they were late for.
While Oswald's visit to the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City in September 1963 had not been a secret, the files revealed that he had spoken with Consul Valeriy Vladimirovich Kostikov, described in the documents as "an identified KGB officer."
"He is a case officer in an operation which is evidently sponsored by the KGB's 13th Department (responsible for sabotage and assassination)," the document read.
On October 1, Oswald was said to have rang the embassy and asked: "Anything new concerning the telegram to Washington?"
FBI warned Dallas police of threats against OswaldOne more for now:
The FBI received a call to its Dallas office from a man claiming to be a member of a committee organized to kill Lee Harvey Oswald, according to a memo sent on the day of the assassin's death by FBI Director J Edgar Hoover.
"We at once notified the Chief of Police and he assured us Oswald would be given sufficient protection," the document read. Hoover added: "This morning we called the Chief of Police again warning of the possibility of some effort against Oswald and he again assured us adequate protections would be given. However, this was not done."
The document also states that the FBI had an agent at Parkland hospital, where Oswald was taken after he was shot, in the hope that he might make a confession before he died. He did not do so. Meanwhile, his attacker, Jack Ruby, was said to have told authorities that his grief over the killing of President John F Kennedy two days earlier had made him insane. Hoover labelled the claim "a pretty smart move" as it could have laid the foundation for a plea of insanity at his trial.
Ruby's connections with Dallas police
An informant told the FBI that Oswald's assassin, Jack Ruby, had close links to local police in Dallas. Ruby, whose real name was Jacob Leon Rubenstein, was said to have had a "good in" with the authorities, who were served free drinks at his nightclub.
A friend of Ruby's, Lou Lebby, described him in an FBI document as "emotional, unstable and a person who made his living primarily from 'scalping' tickets to sports events."
Yet even that investigation was denounced by insiders as a whitewash and that the CIA misled the committee (see link above). The whole world and his dog knows that Oswald either wasn't the shooter or was not alone. Likewise, it's clear that Kennedy was shot from the front, reference the Zapruder film.
The only tidbits in these documents (so far) are references by eyewitnesses to or commentators on the original investigation that claimed that there was a bullet hole in JFK's car windscreen (i.e. he was shot from the front) and that a bullet entered his neck near the adam's apple (again shot from the front). For those who don't know, Oswald was in the book depository building BEHIND JFK's car.
The main point of the release of these documents appears to be to provide the scurrilous mainstream media the opportunity to promote the official Warren Report findings and poopoo conspiracy theories. In other words, it's another exercise in deep state and mainstream media gaslighting of the American public by feigning 'transparency' around the JFK assassination while simultaneously telling everyone that the official story still holds water. Nothing could be further form the truth, and just about everyone with a few neurons still firing knows it.
Update (Oct. 28)
In addition to Hoover's curious insistence on convincing the public that Oswald was the "real assassin" (as opposed to what, a "fake" assassin?), there are at least two instances in the documents of suggestive redactions. The first is also mentioned above: the lack of an answer to the question asked of Richard Helms as to the evidence that Oswald "was in some way a CIA agent". His answer is redacted.
The second has to do with 1975 hearing testimony from former CIA Deputy Director of Plans Richard Bissell. Only three out of 33 pages of this Top Secret document were released. From TFTP:
The opening page of the document claims the transcript covers topics such as the attempt to overthrow Castro with the failed Bay of Pigs invasion; former CIA Director Allen Dulles and former President Eisenhower; the overthrow of Dominican Republic President Rafael Trujillo; the ZR/Rifle Project and CIA agent Arnold Silver; former CIA Director John A. McCone; Mafia boss Sam Giancana; CIA and FBI recruit Robert Maheu; and the Department of Justice.
The transcript of Bissell's responses to questions on any of the topics listed above would be incredibly telling regarding the inner workings of the CIA and the events that led up to, and occurred after the assassination of President Kennedy. However, the document that was released consists of 3 pages, and only 1 page contains text from the transcript.
The only page of text contains questions for Bissell such as "Now, Mr. Bissell, we went over the notes in the other room, didn't we?" to which Bissell responded, "Correct." The topic of the page appears to be on the actions of Bill Harvey, a CIA agent who played a crucial role in Operation Mongoose, the agency's attempt to overthrow Castro after the failed Bay of Pigs invasion.Mr. Schwarz: "All right. Now, in light of that document ... does that have any effect upon your prior testimony that you had no reason to question Mr. Harvey's statement at the occasion you asked him to set up the capability you said that the White House had twice urged you to do so?"The document ends there, leaving the public to wonder where the other 30 pages of the transcript are, why they were not released, and if they will ever be released in the future.
Mr. Bissell: "Yes. I think these dates do call that into question, because accepting these dates, which are Mr. Harvey's own notations, it is clear that I had given him at least some exposure to that assignment at the end of January, just at the..."
