Jewish settlements on Palestinian land captured by Israel in 1967 have long been a stumbling block in the peace process

Gulf state disavows earlier comments made by trade minister who said it had no issue with goods produced in settlements.

Bahrain will not allow the import of Israeli goods produced in settlements in illegally occupied Palestinian territory, state news agency BNA reported on Saturday, disavowing comments made by the Gulf state's trade minister earlier this week.

Bahrain's Industry, Commerce and Tourism Minister Zayed bin Rashid al-Zayani had voiced openness to settlement imports, adding that Manama would make no distinction between goods produced in Israel or in the occupied West Bank and Golan Heights.

U.N. Chief orders world leaders: Declare a climate emergency or face 'catastrophic' results

Every world leader must immediately declare a "state of climate emergency" or face "catastrophic" results, U.N. chief Antonio Guterres warned Saturday.

Speaking at the opening of the Climate Ambition summit, held online to mark five years since the Paris Agreement, the Portuguese socialist warned nations' current commitments were "far from enough" and were plainly unacceptable to the globalist body.

Around 70 heads of state and government took part in the meeting, which was organised by the UK, U.N. and France. They outlined broad new pledges and commitments to curb carbon but gave very little - if any - detail as to how that would be achieved.

"If we don't change course, we may be headed for a catastrophic temperature rise of more than 3.0 degrees this century," Guterres said.

Guterres said G20 nations were spending 50 percent more in their coronavirus rescue packages on sectors linked to fossil fuels than to low-carbon energy.

Comment: Guterres and much of the UN body are clearly and hopelessly swimming in the lies around "climate science" that they are using to help usher in the policies of the Great Reset. Unwitting dupes or not.

'State terrorism': Russian opposition figure Navalny names men he believes 'poisoned him' & accuses Kremlin of ordering hit

Russian opposition figure Alexey Navalny has named eight men he believes are responsible for poisoning him last August. They are employees of the Federal Security Service (FSB) who appear to have chemical or medical backgrounds.

"I know who wanted to kill me. I know where they live. I know where they work," Navalny wrote on Monday. "I know their real names. I know their fake names. I have photos of them."

According to Navalny, using his personal blog, of the eight suspected plotters, three - named as Alexey Alexandrov, Ivan Osipov, and Vladimir Panyaev - followed him to Tomsk, where he was allegedly poisoned with the normally deadly nerve agent Novichok.

Comment: Isn't it funny that this supposedly deadly nerve agent Novichok seems to fail to kill everyone it's used on? You would think the Russians would pick a different poison given its recent high profile failures.

US Attorney General Bill Barr steps down, praises Trump's successful term in the face of 'implacable resistance'

Attorney General Bill Barr resigned Monday touting President Trump's record and accomplishments, despite what he called a "partisan onslaught" and "relentless, implacable resistance."

Barr, who will leave the Justice Department next week, had his departure announced by President Trump on Twitter Monday evening.

"Just had a very nice meeting with Attorney General Bill Barr at the White House. Our relationship has been a very good one, he has done an outstanding job!" Trump tweeted. "As per letter, Bill will be leaving just before Christmas to spend the holidays with his family."

Trump also tweeted a copy of Barr's resignation letter, in which the attorney general praised the president and made the comments about Trump's constant opposition.

Comment: Bill Barr is the consummate career civil servant. He didn't play it straight, he played it safe, which means he played no part in helping 'drain the swamp', just the minimal to keep Trump from being steam-rolled by the pathocrats.

Massive cyberattack on 40 Israeli firms believed to be Iran's "revenge" for assassination of nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh

Zerohedge

Iran has repeatedly vowed revenge against those behind the assassination of its top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh outside Tehran on November 27. Tehran has blamed Israel for carrying out the high-tech hit, which appears to have involved one or more 'remote guns' activated via satellite targeting.

But it's widely expected this 'revenge' in whatever form it takes will initially be limited, given that on the one hand the Islamic Republic knows the outgoing Trump administration may be looking for a casus belli that can justify military intervention and escalation against Iranian targets, but on the other the brazen killing of Iranian officials can't just go "unanswered".

On Monday Israeli media is widely reporting that Iran's revenge has likely begun in the form of widescale cyber attacks against Israeli firms that are in some cases central to the financial, technology and logistics sectors.

"At least 40 Israeli companies were affected by a cyberattack very likely from Iran, after Amitai Data, which sells software to logistics companies was targeted by hackers," Haaretz reports.

Comment: Israel has been cyberattacking Iran for many years, so this act of "revenge" for the killing of top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh is likely only part of the story.

Sidney Powell: Trump has grounds to trigger 2018 Executive Order on foreign election interference

Lawyer Sidney Powell asserted that due to alleged foreign interference in the Nov. 3 election, "it's more than sufficient to trigger" President Donald Trump's executive order on foreign interference issued in 2018.

In September 2018, Trump signed an executive order that says "not later than 45 days after the conclusion of a United States election, the Director of National Intelligence, in consultation with the heads of any other appropriate executive departments and agencies (agencies), shall conduct an assessment of any information indicating that a foreign government, or any person acting as an agent of or on behalf of a foreign government, has acted with the intent or purpose of interfering in that election."

Powell told The Epoch Times she believes that due to that executive order, it can give Trump "all kinds of power ... to do everything from seize assets to freeze things, demand the impoundment of the machines," referring to voting machines.

Republican Congressman Gaetz renews call to pardon Snowden, says Trump is 'listening' to people pushing for it

RT
Tue, 15 Dec 2020 01:33 UTC

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Florida) is renewing a call for Edward Snowden to be pardoned and says President Donald Trump is paying attention to advocates pushing for the act.

"President Trump is listening to the many of us who are urging him to #PardonSnowden," Gaetz tweeted on Sunday in response to reporter Glenn Greenwald's own call for the pardon.

"It's the right thing to do," Gaetz added.

Snowden himself shared the Florida congressman's tweet, as well as another calling for a pardon from Rep. Justin Amash (L-Michigan).

Comment: Meanwhile, the Gateway Pundit also reports the 'rumors are flying' over an Assange pardon.

The rumors appear to have been started by Pastor Mark Burns, who tweeted it as breaking news.

The tweet gained over 46,000 "likes" in less than an hour, a testament to the wide support for a pardon.

However, Gateway Pundit spoke to people involved with WikiLeaks and none were aware of any pardon news. Additionally, sources close to the administration have said that while there has been talk of it, they have not heard of anything being confirmed.

National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden weighed in on the news saying that "I very much hope this is true. The case against Assange is based on a legal theory that would criminalize the work of every journalist, both at home and abroad."

— Edward Snowden (@Snowden) December 14, 2020
[Ed. note: This tweet has since been removed.]

Snowden has previously lobbied for a pardon for Assange, even before one for himself.

"Mr. President, if you grant only one act of clemency during your time in office, please: free Julian Assange. You alone can save his life," Snowden tweeted earlier this month.

Even if the story turns out to have been fake, perhaps President Trump will see how happy the news made his base, and even a large portion of the left, and make it happen.

What a glorious 'one-finger-salute' (ahem) this would be in the face of the Swamp/Deep State. It is to be fervently hoped that Trump actually does it.

China urges US to stop politicizing economic issues

The United States should stop the erroneous practice of politicizing economic and trade issues and stretching national security concepts to suppress foreign businesses, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Monday.

Spokesperson Wang Wenbin made the remarks at a press briefing after Nasdaq said last week it would remove shares of four Chinese companies from indexes it maintains in response to a U.S. government order restricting purchases of these shares.

China's capital market enjoys improved openness day by day, making it easier for international investors to choose and buy stocks of Chinese enterprises. Being excluded from some indexes will not impair these enterprises' ability to attract and receive investment from international investors, Wang said.

The latest evasions and cover-ups by Western governments over their funding of terrorist groups in Syria are starting to unravel

Evidence of Dutch and British funding for extremists who've beheaded children & carried out ethnic-cleansing grows by the day. Yet most of the mainstream media - including the BBC - still try to keep this truth silent.

Recently, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte effectively blocked a Parliamentary motion to allow an external independent investigation of Dutch government funding of terrorist groups in Syria.

Rutte initially tried to deny his involvement in the burial of the investigation but tenacious questioning from journalists forced him to admit his personal interference. According to Rutte, such an investigation could result in "tensions with our allies [...] the lives of former members of opposition groups could be put at stake."

Comment: Couldn't put terrorists, murderers, and their accomplices at risk now, could we?

Rutte's protection of illegal armed groups wreaking havoc in Syria are reminiscent of the UK Government's response to similar Parliamentary questions requesting clarity on the armed groups supported by its Foreign Office (UK FCO). The standard line is, "for security reasons, we do not disclose the names of those moderate opposition groups supported."

This article will demonstrate that Rutte is very probably preventing tensions with the UK by quashing an investigation, and that the "moderate opposition" promoted by both governments actually consist of savage, extremist gangs who think nothing of conducting ethnic cleansing pogroms in Syria.

Acclaimed pharma professor thrown in psychiatric hospital for questioning official COVID narrative

Early on December 10, Jean-Bernard Fourtillan, a French retired university professor known for his strong opposition to COVID-19 vaccines such as those presently being distributed in the U.K., was taken from his temporary home in the south of France by a team of "gendarmes" — French law enforcement officers under military command — and forcibly placed in solitary confinement at the psychiatric hospital of Uzès. His mobile phones were taken from him, and at the time of writing, he had not been allowed to communicate with the outside world. The order for his internment appears to have been issued by the local "préfet," the official representative of the French executive.

Comment: The video is short and to the point. This expert has evidence to back his claims.

Comment: The PTB are picking off experts one-by-one. The message: bow down to the narrative and support the lie or forever be silenced.
