renegadetribune--2020-01-07--Jewish “Imminent Attacks” Excuse For Soleimani Assassination Under “The Bethlehem Doctrine”

In today ’ s news we see concrete reasons for why Trump and his administration should be considered psychopaths and Israeli toadies .
First , in the aftermath of the assassination of Iranian General Soleimani , we have a 6 January 2020 Sputnik International article titled “ Trump Says US Will Not Leave Iraq Until Baghdad Pays for American Air Base , Threatens Sanctions.
” Trump brushed aside any attempt by the sovereign nation of Iraq to control its own fate partly based on the fact that billions had been spent constructing a large US military base on Iraqi territory @ @ @ @ @ @ @ should threaten to sanction Vietnam unless they pay the U.S. back for the expense of building up the Cam Ranh Bay facilities during the Vietnam war .
Trump then tweeted this threat aimed at Iran if they should in any way retaliate for Soleimani ’ s assassination , which occurred on Iraqi soil .
This , of course , sparked world outrage , since targeting cultural sites is considered a war crime .
US Secretary of State , Mike Pompeo , has since been attempting to cover for President Trump ’ s threats @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has read Trump ’ s statements and they appear to be very straightforward .
So where did today ’ s legalized version of “ imminent attacks ” reasoning for unilateral action against individuals and nations , used by the U.S. , Israel and other U.S. coalition partners , come from ?
In many respects its origins date from an 1837 incident that occurred between the U.S. , Canada and Great Britain known as the Caroline affair or the Caroline case .
You can read more about it by following the Wikipedia link to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ defused by the negotiations that led to the Webster-Ashburton Treaty in 1842 , in which both the US and British admitted to wrongdoing…In the aftermath , the incident led to the legal principle of the “ Caroline test “ .
The principle states that the necessity for [ self-defense ] must be “ instant , overwhelming , and leaving no choice of means , and no moment for deliberation ” , as formulated by Daniel Webster in his response to British claims that they attacked the Caroline in self-defense .
According to scholars @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an accepted part of international law today .
The essence of the Caroline test has been recognized by the United Nations , but in the aftermath of 9/11 a lot of Jewish/Zionist legal finagling has come about to broaden the meaning of the word “ imminent.
” To learn more about this we must travel to another of our erstwhile military partners , the United Kingdom and its Foreign and Commonwealth Office , the FCO .
Referencing articles [ 1 ] , [ 2 ] by Craig Murray : The government employs in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ distinguished public international lawyers in the world .
When the Attorney-General ’ s office needs an Opinion on public international law , they ask the FCO to provide it for him to sign…The only known occasion when this did not happen was the Iraq War .
Then the FCO Legal Advisers – unanimously – advised the Attorney-General , Lord Goldsmith , that to invade Iraq was illegal .
Jack Straw [ reported to be 1/8 Jewish ] asked the Attorney-General to dismiss the FCO chief Legal Adviser , Sir Michael Wood ( Goldsmith @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Washington where the Opinion was written for him to sign by George Bush ’ s lawyers .
[ I know this sounds incredible , but it is absolutely true ] .
Sir Michael Wood ’ s deputy , Elizabeth Wilmshurst , resigned in protest .
It is at this point where an Israeli Zionist was brought in to start manipulating the legal meaning of “ imminent ” in the phrase “ imminent attacks.
” In consequence Blair and Straw decided that , again for the first time ever , the FCO ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not from within the FCO legal advisers , who had all declared the war on Iraq to be illegal , but from outside .
They had to find a distinguished public international lawyer who was prepared to argue that the war on Iraq had been legal .
That was a very small field .
Blair and Straw thus turned to Benjamin Netanyahu ’ s favourite lawyer , Daniel Bethlehem .
Daniel Bethlehem had represented Israel before Senator George Mitchell ’ s Inquiry into violence against the people of Gaza , arguing that it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also supplied the Government of Israel with a Legal Opinion that the vast wall they were building in illegally occupied land , surrounding and isolating all the major Palestinian communities and turning them into large prisons , was also legal .
Daniel Bethlehem is an extreme Zionist militarist of the most aggressive kind , and close to Mark Regev , Israel ’ s new Ambassador to the UK .
Daniel Bethlehem had developed , in his work for Israel , an extremist doctrine of the right of States to use pre-emptive self-defence – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the vast majority of public international lawyers [ sounds a lot like a “ Minority Report ” scenario ] .
He clinched his appointment by Blair as the FCO chief legal adviser by presenting a memorandum to the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee in 2004 outlining this doctrine , and thus de facto defending the attack on Iraq and the Bush/Blair doctrine .
A key sentence of Daniel Bethlehem ’ s memorandum is this : “ It must be right that states are able to act in self-defense in circumstances where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by terrorist groups , even if there is no specific evidence of where such an attack will take place or of the precise nature of the attack.
” There is a fundamental flaw in this argument .
How can you be certain that an attack is “ imminent ” , if you are not certain where or what it is ?
Even if we can wildly imagine a scenario where the government know of an “ imminent ” attack , but not where or what it is , how could killing someone in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
If a team were active , armed and in course of operation in the UK – which is needed for “ imminent ” – how would killing an individual in Syria prevent them from going through with it ?
It simply does not add up as a practical scenario .
Interestingly , Daniel Bethlehem does not pretend this is accepted international law , but specifically states that : “ The concept of what constitutes an “ imminent ” armed attack will develop to meet new circumstances and new threats.
” Bethlehem is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ imminent ” beyond any natural interpretation of the word “ imminent ” .
This is what has come to be known as the “ Bethlehem Doctrine ” and ever since the second invasion of Iraq ( Operation Iraqi Freedom ) it has been the go to doctrine for carrying out unilateral attacks by the U.S. , Israel , the UK and other coalition allies under the more liberal ( Jewish ) definition of danger from “ imminent attacks.
” The latest victim of the “ Bethlehem Doctrine ” has been General Soleimani and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Israeli leaders before him , will continue to use this doctrine to carry out just about any military action he wishes under its auspices while thumbing his nose at the rest of the world .

In today’s news we see concrete reasons for why Trump and his administration should be considered psychopaths and Israeli toadies. First, in the aftermath of the assassination of Iranian General Soleimani, we have a 6 January 2020 Sputnik International article titled “Trump Says US Will Not Leave Iraq Until Baghdad Pays for American Air Base, Threatens Sanctions.” Trump brushed aside any attempt by the sovereign nation of Iraq to control its own fate partly based on the fact that billions had been spent constructing a large US military base on Iraqi territory.
The Iraqi parliament on Sunday voted to expel all foreign troops from the nation’s territories and cut off ties with the US-led international anti-terrorist coalition after Friday’s assassination of Qasem Soleimani, the commander of the elite Quds Force of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Baghdad, by the US.
Trump’s arrogant and psychopathic response was:
We have a very extraordinarily expensive airbase that’s there. It cost billions of dollars to build. Long before my time We’re not leaving unless they pay us back for it […] We will charge them sanctions like they’ve never seen before ever. It’ll make Iranian sanctions look somewhat tame”, Trump said Sunday, while traveling back to DC from Florida.
Using that logic maybe the U.S. should threaten to sanction Vietnam unless they pay the U.S. back for the expense of building up the Cam Ranh Bay facilities during the Vietnam war.
Trump then tweeted this threat aimed at Iran if they should in any way retaliate for Soleimani’s assassination, which occurred on Iraqi soil.
This, of course, sparked world outrage, since targeting cultural sites is considered a war crime. US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, has since been attempting to cover for President Trump’s threats.
Yes, Mr. Pompeo, everyone has read Trump’s statements and they appear to be very straightforward.
So where did today’s legalized version of “imminent attacks” reasoning for unilateral action against individuals and nations, used by the U.S., Israel and other U.S. coalition partners, come from?
In many respects its origins date from an 1837 incident that occurred between the U.S., Canada and Great Britain known as the Caroline affair or the Caroline case. You can read more about it by following the Wikipedia link to the story.
The diplomatic crisis was defused by the negotiations that led to the Webster-Ashburton Treaty in 1842, in which both the US and British admitted to wrongdoing…In the aftermath, the incident led to the legal principle of the “Caroline test“. The principle states that the necessity for [self-defense] must be “instant, overwhelming, and leaving no choice of means, and no moment for deliberation”, as formulated by Daniel Webster in his response to British claims that they attacked the Caroline in self-defense. According to scholars, the “Caroline test” remains an accepted part of international law today.
The essence of the Caroline test has been recognized by the United Nations, but in the aftermath of 9/11 a lot of Jewish/Zionist legal finagling has come about to broaden the meaning of the word “imminent.” To learn more about this we must travel to another of our erstwhile military partners, the United Kingdom and its Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the FCO. Referencing articles [1], [2] by Craig Murray :
The government employs in the FCO a dozen of the most distinguished public international lawyers in the world. When the Attorney-General’s office needs an Opinion on public international law, they ask the FCO to provide it for him to sign…The only known occasion when this did not happen was the Iraq War. Then the FCO Legal Advisers – unanimously – advised the Attorney-General, Lord Goldsmith, that to invade Iraq was illegal. Jack Straw [reported to be 1/8 Jewish] asked the Attorney-General to dismiss the FCO chief Legal Adviser, Sir Michael Wood (Goldsmith refused). Blair sent Goldsmith to Washington where the Opinion was written for him to sign by George Bush’s lawyers. [I know this sounds incredible, but it is absolutely true]. Sir Michael Wood’s deputy, Elizabeth Wilmshurst, resigned in protest.
It is at this point where an Israeli Zionist was brought in to start manipulating the legal meaning of “imminent” in the phrase “imminent attacks.”
In consequence Blair and Straw decided that, again for the first time ever, the FCO’s chief legal adviser had to be appointed not from within the FCO legal advisers, who had all declared the war on Iraq to be illegal, but from outside. They had to find a distinguished public international lawyer who was prepared to argue that the war on Iraq had been legal. That was a very small field. Blair and Straw thus turned to Benjamin Netanyahu’s favourite lawyer, Daniel Bethlehem. Daniel Bethlehem had represented Israel before Senator George Mitchell’s Inquiry into violence against the people of Gaza, arguing that it was all legitimate self-defence. He had also supplied the Government of Israel with a Legal Opinion that the vast wall they were building in illegally occupied land, surrounding and isolating all the major Palestinian communities and turning them into large prisons, was also legal. Daniel Bethlehem is an extreme Zionist militarist of the most aggressive kind, and close to Mark Regev, Israel’s new Ambassador to the UK. Daniel Bethlehem had developed, in his work for Israel, an extremist doctrine of the right of States to use pre-emptive self-defence – a doctrine which would not be accepted by the vast majority of public international lawyers [sounds a lot like a “Minority Report” scenario].

A key sentence of Daniel Bethlehem’s memorandum is this: “It must be right that states are able to act in self-defense in circumstances where there is evidence of further imminent attacks by terrorist groups, even if there is no specific evidence of where such an attack will take place or of the precise nature of the attack.” There is a fundamental flaw in this argument. How can you be certain that an attack is “imminent”, if you are not certain where or what it is? Even if we can wildly imagine a scenario where the government know of an “imminent” attack, but not where or what it is, how could killing someone in Syria stop the attack in the UK? If a team were active, armed and in course of operation in the UK – which is needed for “imminent” – how would killing an individual in Syria prevent them from going through with it? It simply does not add up as a practical scenario. Interestingly, Daniel Bethlehem does not pretend this is accepted international law, but specifically states that: “The concept of what constitutes an “imminent” armed attack will develop to meet new circumstances and new threats.” Bethlehem is attempting to develop the concept of “imminent” beyond any natural interpretation of the word “imminent”.
This is what has come to be known as the “Bethlehem Doctrine” and ever since the second invasion of Iraq (Operation Iraqi Freedom) it has been the go to doctrine for carrying out unilateral attacks by the U.S., Israel, the UK and other coalition allies under the more liberal (Jewish) definition of danger from “imminent attacks.”
So you may be assassinated by a drone or bomb strike – and the doctrine was specifically developed to justify such strikes – because of “intelligence” you are engaged in a plot, when that intelligence neither says what the plot is nor when it might occur. Or even more tenuous, because there is intelligence you have engaged in a plot before, so it is reasonable to kill you in case you do so again.
The latest victim of the “Bethlehem Doctrine” has been General Soleimani and Trump, like presidents and other Western and Israeli leaders before him, will continue to use this doctrine to carry out just about any military action he wishes under its auspices while thumbing his nose at the rest of the world.
Daniel Bethlehem left the FCO in 2011. But he had firmly set the British government doctrine [I would also include U.S. and Israeli doctrine] on this issue, while all FCO legal advisers know not to follow it gets you sacked.

renegadetribune--2020-01-06--Hitler Was NOT Controlled Opposition (Part 2)

Note- “ Hitler was controlled opposition ” are series of blog posts that debunk the claims ( lies ) by International Jewry and their many proxies that Hitler was controlled opposition .
Due to the urgency of getting the message out , the content comes from many un-named & un-referenced sources and some additional insight by Noble .
Feedback in the Comment Section from serious researched & enlightened readers would certainly be appreciated .
Below are some rebuttals that will refute common anti-Hitler propaganda… -Jewish banking legends , Paul & Max Warburg supported Hitler ’ s NSDAP through a large @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and its American subsidiary .
I.G .
Farben helped finance the NSDAP , while Max served on its board , and Paul served on the board of its American subsidiary… Proof of German-Jewish complicity .
This means nothing !
The Warburgs were neither CEO ’ s , nor Presidents , at I.G .
Farben ; but only single board members out of many others .
The origination of their terms on various corporate boards preceded Hitler ’ s rise .
Paul Warburg actually died one year before Hitler was even elected .
We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ firms that did not have a Warburg sitting on their board also supported Hitler .
In short , I.G .
Farben backed Hitler in spite of the Warburgs , not because of them .
-Companies like Ford , Woolworth , Kodak , Alcoa and IBM , and Wall Street investors did business with Hitler ’ s “ Nazi ” Germany… Jewish-American bankers & entrepreneurs were allowed to make millions in Germany till 1938… The Bank of International Settlements in Switzerland propped up the National Socialist government as its proxy to launch World War @ @ @ @ @ @ @ banks & industry .
Many capitalist American firms & individuals did business with Germany after it became a united Constitutional Monarchy ( 1871-1918 ) , and continued to do business with Germany when it became a left-leaning socialist democracy ( 1919-1933 ) , and continued to continue business relations with Germany after Hitler and his NSDAP were elected into power ( 1933-1941 ) .
Why wouldn ’ t they ?
This is globalization ; a series of interlocking international directorsips , shareholders and business associations .
If a local cigar shop imports & @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the owner a Castro “ collaborator ” or a Communist ?
Not at all !
Note : If I make a purchase through a bank , sign up for a loan to purchase a home , etc .
That doesn ’ t make me a shill for the bank ?
Of course not !
It is was established fact that Germany under the Third Reich was moving away from globalization and turning towards autarky ; economically independent & self-sufficient .
This was a process !
Note : Keep in mind that the Third @ @ @ @ @ @ @ & ( Socialist ) command economy .
The best of both worlds ; whatever works !
Corporate executives became “ trustees ” of their firms , subject to state supervision .
The NSDAP premise , “ the common interest before self-interest ” was upheld throughout the regime .
Dividends & profits were “ limited ” to a “ large extent ” .
National Socialist Germany also needed the technical & engineering know-how of corporations , like Siemens , Ford , IBM , etc.
, in order to modernize his country as soon as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ grew , the NSDAP government , applying National Socialist principles , assured that these capitalist corporations knew their place in Germany ; the folk were the top priority for the NSDAP .
Prior to the start of the World War 2 , America was suffering from an economic depression as well as many to the Western countries , outside of Germany .
Many greedy capitalist wanted to deal with Germany at this time because the German economy was booming .
For Germany to continue to thrive , the NSDAP was not opposed to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Socialist German did have a relatively “ free-market ” economy , with the exception that the government would step in to intervene , if necessary , in order to protect the interest of the collective German folk .
As far as bankers “ funding both sides of war ” , they have a habit of profiting from as many angles as they can find .
Did they profit off of Nationalist Germany during the war ?
There are many ( ( ( conspiracy theories ) ) ) about that .
Was Hitler taking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( ( ( conspiracy theories ) ) ) about that .
There hasn ’ t been much proof to substantiate those claims .
It would make common sense that a leader of a country would opt to utilize the “ system ” , if needed , in order to later destroy it , and at the same… it would make common sense that the “ system ” would opt to utilize an opposing country ’ s leader , build him up , in order to later defeat him , though that would be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were pragmatic & strategic with all of their economic , political and war-time maneuvering .
Note : Hitler ’ s words , deeds , accomplishments and policies , have been recorded and publically available .
They speak volumes and tell the tale quite convincingly .
Hitler sceptics have nothing substantial to sell their side of the story .
All they have is a ( ( ( conspiracy theory ) ) ) .
Hitler has explained in his writings that war alliances are only temporary , and they never exclude the possibility that these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ future .
He even suggested these alliances are sometimes only a strategical preparation for fighting each other as soon as they have amassed enough strength .
It ’ s not difficult to extrapolate Hitler ’ s understanding of war alliances with economics .
Any “ unholy ” contacts & alliances that Hitler may have made , his politics were totally irreconcilable with ; therefore , it would be his end goal to ultimately destroy them .
The Fuhrer ’ s politics , and the fact that all parts of the Jewish “ Matrix @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Hitler was true to the German cause of National Socialism .
The Bank of International Settlements ( BIS ) , located in Switzerland , created to administer the German reparation payments after World War 1 , has been claimed to be the main banking institution & channel , via the Bank of England , to which money would flow in and out of Germany during the Third Reich .
This could be true or a ( ( ( conspiracy theory ) ) ) ; however , Hitler was not to be out-played @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Hitler had plans ( Operation Tannenbaum ) , with Mussolini ’ s support in Italy , against the Swiss Confederation that were serious preparatory measures for an attack , as well as economic warfare , which would include taking control over the Bank of International Settlements .
Hitler never gave the final go-ahead , for reasons still uncertain today , however , the most probable cause was the German intelligence reports given to the Fuhrer that the Soviet Union was planning on invading Western Europe , and was building up troops & @ @ @ @ @ @ @ battle with Russia was impending !
War with the U.S. was also in the cards .
Note : At the very start of the Third Reich , actual Jewish bankers in Germany were employed , to a limited degree .
The April 1st , 1933 , Jewish-boycott of Germany , however , greatly reduced Jewish participation in the German economy .
Note : The one German individual who had convincing links with international capital , Hjalmar Schacht , was relieved of all positions by 1939 and ended up in a concentration camp for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ businessmen who did provide funds to the NSDAP were of nationalistic sentiments in a German tradition that was alien to that of the self-interest of the English liberal free-trade school .
Note : Foreign businessmen who might reasonably have been expected to fund the NSDAP on ideological grounds , primarily Henry Ford , did not do so , contrary to allegations .
-Hitler and the National Socialists were “ racist ” … They “ hated ” other races and were “ White Supremacists ” .
No !
Hitler and the National Socialists were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” , not “ White Nationalists ” or “ White Supremacists ” .
The culture of the age that we live in is founded on a Jewish lie , which is “ racial egalitarianism ” .
It is an article of faith among the elites that govern the West , that the races are the same in abilities & temperament , and that it is only racial bias in the present , or in the past , that prevents all races from performing at the same level .
100 years of science disproves @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recognizing this lie for what it is .
Both the findings of the best scholars and simple common sense force us to recognize that the races are inherently different .
But holding onto the truth is not easy , as it means refusing the dominant ideology of our culture , which constantly tries to persuade us that racial equality would be achieved if only people , and especially Whites , were less “ racist ” .
One of the most destructive myths of modern times is that people of all races have the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to futile attempts to eliminate “ achievement gaps ” between the races and leads Whites to accept the view that if Blacks and Hispanics are less successful than Whites , it is because of White “ Racism ” .
Among White Americans , the average IQ , around 2000 was 103 .
Among Asian-Americans , it was 106 .
Among Jewish Americans , it was 113 .
Among Latino Americans , it was 89 .
Among African-Americans , it was 85 .
Around the world , studies find the same general pattern ; @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sub-Saharan Africans 70 .
In addition to IQ there are biological & physical differences as well ; plus differences in “ delayed gratification ” , testosterone , illegitimacy rates , etc .
Races differ in these areas due to different evolutionary paths & struggles they have faced .
This is all in accordance with the laws of Nature .
Based on the high levels of civilization that the White race have built , going way back into antiquity , and the Industrial Revolution that modernized our present world , National Socialists , like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ race is “ superior ” in building high civilization ( Western Civilization ) and in developing technology .
No one could argue that .
Note : “ Master Race ” was not a term used by the National Socialists .
“ Herrenvolk ” was mistranslated at the Nuremberg trials and used to discredit the National Socialists .
Leon Degrelle , Belgian SS General and confidante of Hitler , spoke about the German ’ s view on race .
“ German-racialism has been deliberately distorted .
It never was anti- ” other race ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It was concerned with making the German race strong & healthy in every way.
” “ Hitler was not interested in having millions of degenerates , if it was his power not to have them .
Today one finds rampant alcohol & drug addiction everywhere .
Hitler cared that the German families be healthy ; cared that they raise healthy children for the renewal of a healthy nation.
” “ German racialism meant re-discovering the creative values of their own race , re-discovering their culture .
It was a search for excellence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ racialism was not against the other races , it was for its own race .
It aimed at defending and improving its race , and wished that all other races did the same for themselves.
” It is claimed that Hitler “ subverted ” democracy .
This is an allegation which is most certainly true , except for the fact that there was never any pretense over this matter .
The NSDAP openly abhorred democracy and aimed to replace it with the “ leadership principle ” , which the NSDAP believed was in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world .
Resultantly , as soon as the NSDAP came to power , they implemented a program which resulted in the imposition of a one-party state .
Hitler was an authoritarian leader , not a dictator ; he had the peoples for support .
In most present-day “ Democratic ” European countries , suppression of free speech and freedom of the press are happening .
Laws exist in some of these countries , which make it a criminal offense to discuss racially-related topics .
If you question or mock the Holocaust ( Holocaust @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , like Germany or Great Britain , you will spend time in jail , or even prison .
-Hitler was a British agent ; brainwashed & trained in England ( 1912-1913 ) by the Tavistock Institute… a 1979 claim by his sister-in-law .
No proof !
Hitler volunteered to be on the front lines of World War One against Britain , and was awarded medals for bravery .
He barely escaped death several times , and was injured from chemical gas .
No Rothschild agent would bother to do that .
It would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jewry are cowards , like Winston Churchill who announced during the war that he would fly to Canada in case the National Socialists start bombing his country , a behavior which Hitler utterly condemned .
Hitler said he would die with his “ volk ” ( people ) instead of running away like a coward , and he stayed to his word .
In addition , there is too much film footage of the Fuhrer demonstrating his genuine love for the German peoples for him to be an agent of International Jewry .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ immensely .
No proof !
Hitler spent his whole career with the NSDAP promoting family values and fighting against degeneracy ; in addition to cleaning out the sexually-deviant cesspit of the Weimar Republic , Berlin ( See Addendum JJ ) .
Hitler even got married , however , short-lived .
He wed Eva Braun on April 29th , 1945 .
His marriage was held as a small ceremony , and it was only 40 hours before the two committed suicide .
Why wasn ’ t he married sooner and had children ?
Only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Another ( ( ( conspiracy theory ) ) ) ; however , it would make common sense that under the extreme conditions of warfare and the need to stay awake for hours on end , extreme measures , like taking speed could be an option for many combatants & military leaders .
Hitler , we know , was very health conscious and a vegetarian .
It would make more sense that he would have consumed a lot of green tea .

Below are some rebuttals that will refute common anti-Hitler propaganda…
-Jewish banking legends, Paul & Max Warburg supported Hitler’s NSDAP through a large chemical company called I.G. Farben, and its American subsidiary. I.G. Farben helped finance the NSDAP, while Max served on its board, and Paul served on the board of its American subsidiary… Proof of German-Jewish complicity.
This means nothing! The Warburgs were neither CEO’s, nor Presidents, at I.G. Farben; but only single board members out of many others. The origination of their terms on various corporate boards preceded Hitler’s rise. Paul Warburg actually died one year before Hitler was even elected. We should also point out that many German firms that did not have a Warburg sitting on their board also supported Hitler. In short, I.G. Farben backed Hitler in spite of the Warburgs, not because of them.
-Companies like Ford, Woolworth, Kodak, Alcoa and IBM, and Wall Street investors did business with Hitler’s “Nazi” Germany… Jewish-American bankers & entrepreneurs were allowed to make millions in Germany till 1938… The Bank of International Settlements in Switzerland propped up the National Socialist government as its proxy to launch World War 2… Germany was owned by the foreign banks & industry.
Many capitalist American firms & individuals did business with Germany after it became a united Constitutional Monarchy (1871-1918), and continued to do business with Germany when it became a left-leaning socialist democracy (1919-1933), and continued to continue business relations with Germany after Hitler and his NSDAP were elected into power (1933-1941). Why wouldn’t they? This is globalization; a series of interlocking international directorsips, shareholders and business associations.
If a local cigar shop imports & re-sells Cuban cigars, does that make the owner a Castro “collaborator” or a Communist? Not at all!
Note: If I make a purchase through a bank, sign up for a loan to purchase a home, etc. That doesn’t make me a shill for the bank? Of course not!
It is was established fact that Germany under the Third Reich was moving away from globalization and turning towards autarky; economically independent & self-sufficient. This was a process!
Note: Keep in mind that the Third Reich was a managed mix between free-market & (Socialist) command economy. The best of both worlds; whatever works! Corporate executives became “trustees” of their firms, subject to state supervision. The NSDAP premise, “the common interest before self-interest” was upheld throughout the regime. Dividends & profits were “limited” to a “large extent”.
National Socialist Germany also needed the technical & engineering know-how of corporations, like Siemens, Ford, IBM, etc., in order to modernize his country as soon as possible in 1933. As his country grew, the NSDAP government, applying National Socialist principles, assured that these capitalist corporations knew their place in Germany; the folk were the top priority for the NSDAP.
Prior to the start of the World War 2, America was suffering from an economic depression as well as many to the Western countries, outside of Germany.

For Germany to continue to thrive, the NSDAP was not opposed to doing deals with Western capitalists. National Socialist German did have a relatively “free-market” economy, with the exception that the government would step in to intervene, if necessary, in order to protect the interest of the collective German folk.
As far as bankers “funding both sides of war”, they have a habit of profiting from as many angles as they can find. Did they profit off of Nationalist Germany during the war? There are many (((conspiracy theories))) about that.
Was Hitler taking loans from the bankers? Again… many (((conspiracy theories))) about that. There hasn’t been much proof to substantiate those claims.
It would make common sense that a leader of a country would opt to utilize the “system”, if needed, in order to later destroy it, and at the same… it would make common sense that the “system” would opt to utilize an opposing country’s leader, build him up, in order to later defeat him, though that would be risky.
Hitler and the NSDAP government were pragmatic & strategic with all of their economic, political and war-time maneuvering.
Note: Hitler’s words, deeds, accomplishments and policies, have been recorded and publically available. They speak volumes and tell the tale quite convincingly. Hitler sceptics have nothing substantial to sell their side of the story. All they have is a (((conspiracy theory))).
Hitler has explained in his writings that war alliances are only temporary, and they never exclude the possibility that these allies will fight each other in the future. He even suggested these alliances are sometimes only a strategical preparation for fighting each other as soon as they have amassed enough strength. It’s not difficult to extrapolate Hitler’s understanding of war alliances with economics. Any “unholy” contacts & alliances that Hitler may have made, his politics were totally irreconcilable with; therefore, it would be his end goal to ultimately destroy them.
The Fuhrer’s politics, and the fact that all parts of the Jewish “Matrix” fear & hate him, demonstrate that Hitler was true to the German cause of National Socialism.
No State has ever gone bankrupt for economic reasons, but only as the result of losing a war!” -Hitler
The Bank of International Settlements (BIS), located in Switzerland, created to administer the German reparation payments after World War 1, has been claimed to be the main banking institution & channel, via the Bank of England, to which money would flow in and out of Germany during the Third Reich.
This could be true or a (((conspiracy theory))); however, Hitler was not to be out-played & out-maneuvered by this global banking system.
Hitler had plans (Operation Tannenbaum), with Mussolini’s support in Italy, against the Swiss Confederation that were serious preparatory measures for an attack, as well as economic warfare, which would include taking control over the Bank of International Settlements. Hitler never gave the final go-ahead, for reasons still uncertain today, however, the most probable cause was the German intelligence reports given to the Fuhrer that the Soviet Union was planning on invading Western Europe, and was building up troops & armaments on its border. A massive battle with Russia was impending! War with the U.S. was also in the cards.
Note: At the very start of the Third Reich, actual Jewish bankers in Germany were employed, to a limited degree. The April 1st, 1933, Jewish-boycott of Germany, however, greatly reduced Jewish participation in the German economy.
Note: The one German individual who had convincing links with international capital, Hjalmar Schacht, was relieved of all positions by 1939 and ended up in a concentration camp for his traitorous activity.
Note: German businessmen who did provide funds to the NSDAP were of nationalistic sentiments in a German tradition that was alien to that of the self-interest of the English liberal free-trade school.
Note: Foreign businessmen who might reasonably have been expected to fund the NSDAP on ideological grounds, primarily Henry Ford, did not do so, contrary to allegations.
-Hitler and the National Socialists were “racist”… They “hated” other races and were “White Supremacists”.
No! Hitler and the National Socialists were race-realists. They were “NATIONAL SOCIALISTS”, not “White Nationalists” or “White Supremacists”.
I promise you, I am quite free of all racial hatred. It is, in any case, undesirable that one race should mix with other races.” -Hitler
The culture of the age that we live in is founded on a Jewish lie, which is “racial egalitarianism”. It is an article of faith among the elites that govern the West, that the races are the same in abilities & temperament, and that it is only racial bias in the present, or in the past, that prevents all races from performing at the same level. 100 years of science disproves this!
The heart of race-realism is recognizing this lie for what it is. Both the findings of the best scholars and simple common sense force us to recognize that the races are inherently different. But holding onto the truth is not easy, as it means refusing the dominant ideology of our culture, which constantly tries to persuade us that racial equality would be achieved if only people, and especially Whites, were less “racist”.
One of the most destructive myths of modern times is that people of all races have the same average intelligence. This blindness leads to futile attempts to eliminate “achievement gaps” between the races and leads Whites to accept the view that if Blacks and Hispanics are less successful than Whites, it is because of White “Racism”.
Among White Americans, the average IQ, around 2000 was 103. Among Asian-Americans, it was 106. Among Jewish Americans, it was 113. Among Latino Americans, it was 89. Among African-Americans, it was 85. Around the world, studies find the same general pattern; Whites 100, East Asians 106 and sub-Saharan Africans 70.
In addition to IQ there are biological & physical differences as well; plus differences in “delayed gratification”, testosterone, illegitimacy rates, etc. Races differ in these areas due to different evolutionary paths & struggles they have faced. This is all in accordance with the laws of Nature.
Based on the high levels of civilization that the White race have built, going way back into antiquity, and the Industrial Revolution that modernized our present world, National Socialists, like Hitler, categorically would say the White race is “superior” in building high civilization (Western Civilization) and in developing technology. No one could argue that.
Note: “Master Race” was not a term used by the National Socialists. “Herrenvolk” was mistranslated at the Nuremberg trials and used to discredit the National Socialists.
Leon Degrelle, Belgian SS General and confidante of Hitler, spoke about the German’s view on race.
“German-racialism has been deliberately distorted. It never was anti-”other race” racialism. It was a pro-German racialism. It was concerned with making the German race strong & healthy in every way.”
“Hitler was not interested in having millions of degenerates, if it was his power not to have them. Today one finds rampant alcohol & drug addiction everywhere. Hitler cared that the German families be healthy; cared that they raise healthy children for the renewal of a healthy nation.”
“German racialism meant re-discovering the creative values of their own race, re-discovering their culture. It was a search for excellence, a noble ideal. National Socialist racialism was not against the other races, it was for its own race. It aimed at defending and improving its race, and wished that all other races did the same for themselves.”
Pride in one’s own race, and that does not imply contempt for other races, is also a normal & healthy sentiment.” -Hitler
-Hitler suppressed Democracy… He was a dictator.
It is claimed that Hitler “subverted” democracy. This is an allegation which is most certainly true, except for the fact that there was never any pretense over this matter. The NSDAP openly abhorred democracy and aimed to replace it with the “leadership principle”, which the NSDAP believed was in line with the natural order of the world. Resultantly, as soon as the NSDAP came to power, they implemented a program which resulted in the imposition of a one-party state.
Hitler was an authoritarian leader, not a dictator; he had the peoples for support.
In most present-day “Democratic” European countries, suppression of free speech and freedom of the press are happening. Laws exist in some of these countries, which make it a criminal offense to discuss racially-related topics. If you question or mock the Holocaust (Holocaust), in several of these countries, like Germany or Great Britain, you will spend time in jail, or even prison.
-Hitler was a British agent; brainwashed & trained in England (1912-1913) by the Tavistock Institute… a 1979 claim by his sister-in-law.
No proof! Hitler volunteered to be on the front lines of World War One against Britain, and was awarded medals for bravery. He barely escaped death several times, and was injured from chemical gas. No Rothschild agent would bother to do that. It would serve no purpose.
Agents for International Jewry are cowards, like Winston Churchill who announced during the war that he would fly to Canada in case the National Socialists start bombing his country, a behavior which Hitler utterly condemned. Hitler said he would die with his “volk” (people) instead of running away like a coward, and he stayed to his word.
In addition, there is too much film footage of the Fuhrer demonstrating his genuine love for the German peoples for him to be an agent of International Jewry. He loved children, animals and nature immensely.
-Hitler was sexually perverted.
No proof! Hitler spent his whole career with the NSDAP promoting family values and fighting against degeneracy; in addition to cleaning out the sexually-deviant cesspit of the Weimar Republic, Berlin (See Addendum JJ). Hitler even got married, however, short-lived. He wed Eva Braun on April 29th, 1945. His marriage was held as a small ceremony, and it was only 40 hours before the two committed suicide. Why wasn’t he married sooner and had children? Only Hitler knows, everyone else can speculate.
-Hitler was on speed (narcotics).
Another (((conspiracy theory))); however, it would make common sense that under the extreme conditions of warfare and the need to stay awake for hours on end, extreme measures, like taking speed could be an option for many combatants & military leaders. Hitler, we know, was very health conscious and a vegetarian. It would make more sense that he would have consumed a lot of green tea.

Quotes added by Kyle Hunt
All formal dogmatic religions are fallacious and must never be accepted by self-respecting persons as final.” ~ Hypatia
Hypatia, the daughter of Theon the mathematician, was initiated in her father’s studies; her learned comments have elucidated the geometry of Apollonius and Diophantus, and she publicly taught, both at Athens and Alexandria, the philosophy of Plato and Aristotle. In the bloom of beauty, and in the maturity of wisdom, the modest maid refused her lovers and instructed her disciples; the persons most illustrious for their rank or merit were impatient to visit the female philosopher; and Cyril beheld, with a jealous eye, the gorgeous train of horses and slaves who crowded the door of her academy.
Reserve your right to think, for even to think wrongly is better than not to think at all.” ~ Hypatia
A rumor was spread among the Christians, that the daughter of Theon was the only obstacle to the reconciliation of the praefect and the archbishop; and that obstacle was speedily removed. On a fatal day, in the holy season of Lent, Hypatia was torn from her chariot, stripped naked, dragged to the church, and inhumanly butchered by the hands of Peter the reader, and a troop of savage and merciless fanatics: her flesh was scraped from her bones with sharp cyster shells, and her quivering limbs were delivered to the flames. The just progress of inquiry and punishment was stopped by seasonable gifts; but the murder of Hypatia has imprinted an indelible stain on the character and religion of Cyril of Alexandria.
In fact men will fight for a superstition quite as quickly as for a living truth – often more so, since a superstition is so intangible you cannot get at it to refute it, but truth is a point of view, and so is changeable.” ~ Hypatia

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease affecting approximately 1.5 million people in the U.S.[i] RA disproportionately affects women, with nearly three times as many women afflicted as men and onset typically occurring between 30 and 60 years of age.[ii]
Autoimmune diseases occur when the body’s immune response is overactive and assaults healthy cells and tissues. In the case of RA, the immune system erroneously attacks the joints.
The tissue that lines the inside of joints, called the synovium, thickens, and synovial fluid, which lubricates and reduces friction between bones and cartilage, is impaired, resulting in inflammation and swelling of affected joints and surrounding tissues.[iii]
RA can affect specific joints, such as those of the hands and feet, and can also be systemic, affecting entire body systems, such as the cardiovascular or respiratory systems.[iv] Left untreated, RA can permanently damage cartilage, which normally protects bones, eventually causing damage to the bones themselves. This can result in severe pain, loss of mobility and even permanent joint deformity.
Due to the severity of potential outcomes, most doctors recommend early and aggressive treatment to control RA.[v] Fortunately, natural treatments, including ginger, can help.
Drug Treatment Poses Risks
Due to the painful symptoms and severe risks presented by RA, most individuals who receive this diagnosis will opt for medication-based treatment. Physicians typically prescribe one or a combination of three types of drugs: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, and disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDS).[vi]
The risks of taking NSAIDs are well-documented. Meta-analyses of these data show that the elderly are particularly vulnerable to such adverse effects.[vii] Increased risks of cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal problems, which can be severe, and liver problems are among the devastating consequences that can occur from NSAID treatment.[viii]
Steroids, another common prescription for RA sufferers, provide targeted treatment since they can be shot directly into joints. However, their effectiveness diminishes over time and using steroids is not without risks. Side effects of steroids can include weight gain and puffiness, increased blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease.[ix]
Another common treatment, DMARDS, work by suppressing the body’s immune system response. DMARDS are taken for long periods, potentially for the duration of the disease-state, or the rest of the patient’s life. Relief does not come immediately, so these drugs are often prescribed in conjunction with an NSAID for pain relief.
DMARDS are risky drugs since suppression of the immune system increases susceptibility to opportunistic infections. They can also harm a developing fetus, so any patient who is or wishes to become pregnant should exercise extreme caution when taking DMARDS.[x]
Other potential side effects include, but are not limited to, gastrointestinal distress, liver damage, pancreas damage, high blood pressure, fertility problems and increased cancer risk.[xi]
Ginger: A Natural Antidote to Inflammation
A focus of our research at GreenMedInfo.com is the potent healing effects of plant-based medicine. Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) is a medicinal plant from the Zingiberaceae family. To date, more than 40 antioxidants have been isolated from ginger rhizome.[xii] Ginger is GRAS, generally recognized as safe,[xiii] and is known as a traditional treatment for relieving stiffness and pain in patients with osteoarthritis.[xiv]
While the healing effects of ginger may be well known, there is little clinical evidence supporting its use as a pharmaceutical drug alternative or adjunct in the treatment of RA. A multidisciplinary team of researchers based in Tehran, Iran, aimed to add to this dearth of clinical evidence by studying the effects of ginger root on immunity and inflammatory markers in patients with active cases of RA.
In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial,[xv] 70 active RA patients between 19 and 69 years of age were selected. Inclusion criteria were at least two years of disease duration, being under treatment with DMARDs (methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine and prednisolone <10 milligrams (mg) a day) and not receiving anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Participants were randomly allocated into two groups, ginger or control (placebo). The ginger group received two capsules daily, each containing 750 mg of powdered ginger, while the placebo group received similar, inert pills containing wheat powder that was stored in a ginger box to impart the distinctive ginger smell. The intervention was conducted for 12 weeks, with the ginger group receiving a total of 1500 mg of ginger each day.
The severity of illness and pain from RA are closely associated with inflammation and oxidative stress markers, factors that can be measured via a “disease activity score” and expression of certain genes (NF-κB, PPAR-γ, FoxP3, T-bet, GATA-3, and RORγt). The disease activity score (DAS28-ESR) was measured by a rheumatologist, with information related to swollen joints, tender joints, acute phase response and the patient’s self-report of general health of 28 joints.
These markers and scores were measured using quantitative, real-time PCR (polymerase chain reaction) blood analysis, before and after this clinical intervention.
After the 12-week intervention, the group receiving ginger supplementation had significant decreases in their disease activity score and inflammatory markers (RORγt and T-bet genes expression). In addition, the ginger group saw significant increases in healthy immunity markers (FoxP3) as compared to placebo.
Also, the expression of PPAR-γ gene within the ginger group increased significantly, showing increased anti-inflammatory activity. Researchers concluded that ginger can improve quality of life and decrease symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis by increasing FoxP3 gene expression and decreasing RORγt and T-bet gene expression.
