NOVANEWS “Cry Hurriya!” (freedom!) By Dr. Franklin Lamb  The Tahrir Square “Hurriya!”  tremors spreading across the Middle East may or may not be impacting today’s events in the  historically liberal American state of Wisconsin and other areas of America,  yet most of us would agree that the Tunisian-Egyptian revolutions are being felt far and wide and appear to be dramatically gaining steam. Lebanon’s Palestinian refugees camps are no exceptions. Perhaps sooner rather than later, a half dozen or so Arab despots may  reluctantly retire or leave for medical treatment in Saudi Arabia. Indeed some Saudis may themselves move to America to occupy their vast real estate holdings stateside, some located in largely Israeli duo-national neighborhoods, whose occupancy rates are also dramatically r...

NOVANEWS   Why did the ancient Israelites lie about ancient Egypt? By Dr. Ashraf Ezzat   James Henry Breasted We prefer to define ourselves in terms of where we are going, not where we come from.  Man is so much smarter now than he was before that anything from the past is outdated and irrelevant to us. Our ignorance of the past is not due to a lack of information, but of indifference. We do not believe that history matters.  The concept of history plays a fundamental role in human thought. It raises the possibility of “learning from history” And it suggests the possibility of better understanding ourselves in the present, by understanding the forces, choices, changes and circumstances that brought us to our current situation.  It is therefore unsurprising that historians and philosophers...

NOVANEWS Hostile Environment III: Failure In Egypt   “From the Nile to the Euphrates.” Iraq and Egypt are forever linked through the delusional, Talmudic dream of ‘Greater Israel,’ the pinnacle and ultimate goal of international Zionism. A Zionist utopia devoid of democracy, freedom and reality. The destabilization of Egypt has been laid out in detail by Oded Yinon, former senior Israeli foreign policy advisor, in the same document laying out the blueprints for the annihilation and annexation of Iraq. Similar to the ‘sectarian’ plan for Iraq, Israel wants to crack Egypt in half, splitting Muslims, Christians and other ethno-religious minorities into ‘distinct geographical regions.’ On New Years Day, a massive explosion claimed the lives of 25 Coptic Christians at al-Qiddissin Church ...

NOVANEWS   Wael Ghonim, Google Executive Lessons on Torture, Freedom, Liberty, and Justice from a Google Executive on the Ground in the Middle of the Egyptian Revolution   By Debbie Menon, Staff Writer Paul Findley author of “They Dare to Speakout” wrote: “One of my litmus tests is torture. Anyone engaging in rendition and torture is a bad guy.That disqualifies Omar Suleiman as well as others like Mubarak, Cheney, and George W. I believe a great day is dawning for human rights worldwide, not just Tunisia and Egypt. Israel will have to abandon racism and territorial aggression.Thank God for the Internet and young leaders like Wael Ghonim.” Paul Findley is right, Wael Ghonim is indeed, a beautiful, articulate, and inspiring young man!   Like he says in the interview posted below…. without th...

NOVANEWS   By Ali Baghdadi The majority of American politicians and corporate media make me sick to my stomach. In plain English, they make me want to vomit. All the problems of the world are blamed on Muslim “extremists”, “fundamentalists” and “radicals”. Soon, racist bigots may even claim that global warming, tsunamis, earthquakes, catastrophic forest fires, and maybe also the blizzard that recently hit Chicago and kept me under “house arrest” for almost a week, are all caused by Muslims. In their definition, Muslims include converts, Christian Arabs, as well as “Muslim” rightists, leftists, atheists, agnostics and ordinary people, no distinction. All Muslims are considered bad, and a threat to Western civilization, way of life, and “Judeo-Christian culture”. Ironically, those bigots ha...

NOVANEWS Mubarak Toppled by CIA Because He Opposed US Plans for War with Iran; US Eyes Seizure of Suez Canal; Was this the Threat that Forced Mubarak to Quit? Webster G. Tarpley, Ph.D. TARPLEY.net Washington DC, Feb. 18, 2011 — There never was an “Egyptian revolution,” but rather a behind-the-scenes military putsch by a junta of CIA puppet generals who evidently could not succeed in their goal of ousting Hosni Mubarak without the help of a heavy-duty ultimatum from Washington in the night between Thursday, February 10 and Friday, February 11, 2011. There is growing evidence that the threat in question involved the seizure or blocking of the Suez Canal, the Egyptian waterway which carries over 8% of all seaborne world trade, which the imperialists tried to grab back in 1956, and from which...

NOVANEWS     By Asif Haroon Raja Propelled by the happenings in Tunisia, the youth of Egypt decided to take to the streets. Protests started in Cairo on 25 January and soon spread to Alexandria and other cities. Police and paramilitary forces resorted to brutal actions to disperse the crowds and killed and injured people in dozens but the strength of protestors kept swelling. Their main slogans were ‘go Mubarak go’ and ‘liberation and democracy’. When fatalities reached the figure of over 300 and hundreds got injured, Mubarak handed over security to the Army and curfew was imposed. Defying the curfew, on 4 February one million people gathered at Tahrir Square in Cairo and camped there saying that they would not vacate it till President Mubarak resigned. Saturation of Tahrir with sea of pe...

NOVANEWS   by crescentandcross     by Eric Margolis “Plus ça change,” say the cynical French, “plus c’est la même chose.” Many thoughtful Egyptians will be recalling this “bon mot” as the watch one ruler, the ousted Husni Mubarak, replaced by a military junta led by Field Marshall Mohammed Tantawi. Egyptians are getting more Mubarakism, sans Mubarak, at least for now. This is not what most Egyptians want or deserve. The new military junta just proclaimed it would support the hated Israeli-Egyptian peace deal signed by Anwar Sadat, thus assuaging fears in the US and Israel. In an example of typical post-coup talk, the junta says elections will be held sometime in the future. Many Egyptians are still euphoric over the ouster of Gen. Mubarak, known to one and all as “pharaoh.” Most of the...
