The failure of Cop28 to call for a phase-out of fossil fuels is “devastating” and “dangerous” given the urgent need for action to tackle the climate crisis, scientists have said.

One called it a “tragedy for the planet and our future” while another said it was the “dream outcome” for the fossil fuel industry.

 

The UN climate summit ended on Wednesday with a compromise deal that called for a “transition away” from fossil fuels. The stronger term “phase-out” had been backed by 130 of the 198 countries negotiating in Dubai but was blocked by petrostates including Saudi Arabia.

The deal was hailed as historic as it was the first citing of fossil fuels, the root cause of the climate crisis, in 30 years of climate negotiations. But scientists said the agreement contained many loopholes and did not match the severity of the climate emergency.

“The lack of an agreement to phase out fossil fuels was devastating,” said Prof Michael Mann, a climatologist and geophysicist at the University of Pennsylvania in the US. “To ‘transition away from fossil fuels’ was weak tea at best. It’s like promising your doctor that you will ‘transition away from doughnuts’ after being diagnosed with diabetes.”

The 2024 United States presidential election won’t be decided just by the People of the US but mainly by FBI and the National Security Agencies censorship system and lately by the discretion of the Prosecutors in the United States of America

By Claudio Resta

 

Obviously after the FBI and other National Security Agencies will have decided to what extent to disclose confidential information on the candidates, and which to omit ”only for reasons of national security” (will it be true?) or which ”reality to invent”, in relation to the moral identity of the candidates , and after prosecutors have made a discretionary decision to prosecute candidates and to what extent, we will have the final representation of the morality of each candidate that we will see on mainstream media. Since in the true world valuable and skilled candidates cannot be spotless, too. Mainstream media that eventually at the end may have even have their own personal chance of manipulating those informations.
Which will certainly ultimately influence the judgment of the people of the United States and therefore the choice of the best candidate.

But what I wanted to underline is its (third grade!) derivative nature and not primary as the immediate perception of reality should be.

In other simpler words, in my humble opinion, first the Deep State and secondarily the US judicial system will decide the next US President.

The People of the United States will receive a framework, an invented and partial reality, in the face of which the choice of president will be almost obligatory and necessary.
I say almost and this almost is still important because there is always a small space or at least a chance of freedom for the voting voter.

 

The United States has always been very proud of its adversary system
and rather convinced that it is preferable to the typical inquisitorial system
of continental countries. Even the Supreme Court has on numerous occasions
referred to the fact that the US system “is accusatory
in opposition to the inquisitorial system ».

The discretion of the prosecutor in the U.S.A. led to the situation
in which, today, the bodies representing the prosecution have much more power over the
fate of the accused than it was a few decades ago. The factors that
together they brought about the perfect storm for prosecutors’ concern
the erosion of trust in judicial sentencing, the wide acceptance of the work
almost unlimited rare of plea bargaining, the intensification of laws that provide
very severe and “mandatory” penalties in case of conviction and acceptance
by the system of a particularly aggressive form of punishment
deterrents that threaten transgressors with “binding” penalties for the judge e
very severe in case of conviction for some specific crimes.
At the same time as plea bargaining remained controversial and yes
they made the necessary efforts from time to time to restrict the practice
the institutional actors of the system – judge, prosecutor and defender – have
showed a clear propensity towards plea bargaining and it went away
increasingly dominating the criminal justice system in the United States. Yes
estimates that at least of 95% of sentences in the U.S. comes from a plea
bargain

 

short insight on J Edgar Hoover

Hoover, the most powerful leader of the 007s: he held presidents and politicians in his grip
He compiled dossiers on everyone from Luther King to Marilyn Monroe. He was also accused of covering up the JFK assassination investigation.

James Comey Former US FBI director

When eleven days before the presidential elections, James Comey announced the reopening of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails, opinions were roughly divided into three strands. The Democrats had accused him of violating the rules of the FBI – which never talks about ongoing investigations – because he is a Republican, he had worked for Rudy Giuliani, and he wanted to favor Trump’s election. Republicans had argued that he was just doing his duty. Independents had oscillated between the hypothesis that he had succumbed to pressure from the agents in charge of the Hillary investigation, who threatened to resign en masse and make embarrassing revelations if she was not indicted, or that he was a disoriented weakling seeking protection for save your career.After so called Russiagate also Trump unleashed against former FBI chief Comey: “You mudball, I was right to fire you” The American president was furious at the release of the book “A Higher Loyalty”, written by the FBI director who was ousted in 2017

“You certified liar, you’re like a mafia boss.” «Mudball, incompetent and dishonest. I’m proud to have fired you.” Here, this is the debate of the moment, the most followed in American politics. The first quote is taken from A Higher Loyalty, the book by former FBI director James Comey, released on Tuesday 17 April in the United States. The second is the summary of the reaction, via Twitter, of the American president. Comey was ousted by Trump on May 9, 2017, after four months of meetings and disagreements. The FBI was (and still is) investigating Russiagate, the hypothesis of collusion between the Republican electoral committee and the Kremlin. The super cop tells how the president first tried to cajole him, to co-opt him and then to destroy him professionally and ethically.

 

After April 12th, 2018 testimony, in which Comey once again made an exception to the FBI’s practice, this time to get into trouble the person he theoretically wanted in the White House, someone behind his profile is starting to glimpse that of J. Edgar Hoover, the legendary and controversial director of the Bureau, who looked no one in the face and had all the politicians in his grip, Democrats and Republicans. Perhaps avoiding the abuses that for some had made Hoover himself a criminal, but with the same loyalty to the mission of his institution, which according to him served justice and therefore came before politics.
Hoover was born in 1895 to a demanding and possessive mother and a mentally ill father. He had lived with his mother until she died, fueling rumors of her repressed homosexuality, and her relationship with Deputy Clyde Tolson. He had joined the Justice Department in 1917, immediately after graduation, hunting down suspicious Germans living in the United States during the First World War. In 1924 he became director of the Bureau of Investigation, which he would transform into the FBI, leading it from its creation in 1935 until his death in 1972. In his eulogy, President Nixon said that Hoover was “one of those giants whose long life he overflowed with magnificent achievements, dedicated to the service of this country he loved so well.” In reality Nixon and many other Presidents before him would have liked to fire Hoover, but didn’t dare to do it, because they were afraid of J Edgar Hoover reprisals. Because legend had it that the head of the FBI had built embarrassing dossiers over the years on all the politicians, who, fearing him, would not have touched him. Thus he had managed to survive six presidents, Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon, even though almost everyone hated him. «We – Truman went so far as to say – do not want a Gestapo, and the FBI is tending in this direction. He delights in sexual scandals, to blackmail. Hoover would give his right eye to seize power, and all the parliamentarians are terrified of him.”

His entire career had prepared him for this. The fight against gangsters at the time of the Great Depression, where he had John Dillinger killed, but then out of jealousy he chased away the agent Purivis who had caught him; the Venona Project, with which he had investigated Soviet spies in the USA, without even revealing it to the presidents; the Cointelpro program, with which he spied on communists and radicals, compiling dossiers on everyone from Martin Luther King to Charlie Chaplin, through Marylin Monroe and Johnson’s assistant Jack Valenti. But he pretended that the mafia didn’t exist, he said that crimes against blacks were the stuff of traffic cops, and he was accused of taking on the investigation into the assassination of John Kennedy to ensure that it didn’t get anywhere. An unprecedented power and without successors, which held in its grip the very politics on which it theoretically depended.

Finally while at the same time Hoover closed his eyes in front of the Mafia, which evidently considered a respectable economic activity in his view as a neo-liberal police state let me quote what I think is his most controversial initiative (but not the only one).

According to Wikipedia: ”COINTELPRO (syllabic abbreviation derived from Counter Intelligence Program; 1956–1971) was a series of covert and illegal projects actively conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting domestic American political organizations. FBI records show COINTELPRO resources targeted groups and individuals s the FBI deemed subversive, including feminist organizations, the Communist Party USA, anti–Vietnam War organizers, activists of the civil rights and Black power movements (e.g., Martin Luther King Jr., the Nation of Islam, and the Black Panther Party), environmentalist and animal rights organizations, the American Indian Movement (AIM), Chicano and Mexican-American groups like the Brown Berets and the United Farm Workers, independence movements (including Puerto Rican independence groups such as the Young Lords and the Puerto Rican Socialist Party), a variety of organizations that were part of the broader New Left, and white supremacist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and the far- right group National States’ Rights Party. The FBI has used covert operations against domestic political groups since its inception; however, covert operations under the official COINTELPRO label took place between 1956 and 1971. Many of the tactics used in COINTELPRO are alleged to have seen continued use including; discrediting targets through psychological warfare; smearing individuals and groups using forged documents and by planting false reports in the media; harassment; wrongful imprisonment; illegal violence; and assassination. According to a Senate report, the FBI’s motivation was “protecting national security, preventing violence, and maintaining the existing social and political order”. Beginning in 1969, leaders of the Black Panther Party were targeted by the COINTELPRO and “neutralized” by being assassinated, imprisoned, publicly humiliated or falsely charged with crimes. Some of the Black Panthers targeted include Fred Hampton, Mark Clark, Zayd Shakur, Geronimo Pratt, Mumia Abu-Jamal, and Marshall Conway. Common tactics used by COINTELPRO were perjury, witness harassment, witness intimidation, and withholding of exculpatory evidence. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover issued directives governing COINTELPRO, ordering FBI agents to “expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize” the activities of these movements and especially their leaders. Under Hoover, the official in charge of COINTELPRO was assistant director William C. Sullivan.”
