NOVANEWS We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except the smell of smoke – Tom Stoppard Our Neanderthal preoccupation with burning things has surely had its day. From the first snaking tendril of flame to the present day we have looked no further than to burn, burn, burn for our energy needs. How different our evolution would have been if the gear had been invented before the spear. Gas, oil, coal, wood, waste, the human race seems incapable of seriously developing an alternative to burning things, yet the powerful sun shines on, the wind rages and the tide just keeps on going in and out. These sources of energy will not dry up or disappear, and they are constant and free. We do not need to wage wars, invent shady foreign ...

NOVANEWS       By Stephen Lendman America’s major media never met an imperial war it didn’t love and promote, never mind how lawless, mindless, destructive and counterproductive. Despite Washington already bogged down in two losing ones, Obama’s heading for another on Libya, the media pack in the lead clamoring for it, perhaps by “shock and awe,” supplemented by special forces death squads on the ground recruiting, inciting, and arming opposition elements. Notably favoring intervention, a New York Times February 24 editorial headlined, “Stopping Qaddafi,” saying: Unless he’s stopped, he’ll “slaughter hundreds or even thousands of his own people in his desperation to hang on to power.” Where’s the Times’ outrage over the millions Washington has slaughtered, hundreds m...

NOVANEWS   By William Bowles "Defence secretary Liam Fox today confirmed that a British diplomatic team is in Libya talking to rebel forces." -'SAS unit 'held by Libyan rebels'', The Independent, 6 March 2011 According to the Wikipedia site 'a civil war is a war between organized groups within the same nation state' which seems to be a pretty accurate description of events in Libya as they unfold. The problem is identifying who is contesting for state power as there seems to be no single group in charge of the opposition.One group wants no outside interference whatsoever (the opposition National Libyan Council?), another (the Libyan Revolutionary Council?), led apparently by the former justice minister (according to an interview on Channel 4 News 04/3/11), wants air strikes...

NOVANEWS     "BOMBLETS" DECADES OF DEATH MADE IN AMERICA – SOLD IN ISRHAELL Each year, the United States ships “military supplies” to Israel.  This isn’t military aid but rather billions in primarily munitions that are designated as “offshore storage” for the US Department of Defense in order to replenish munitions used in Iraq and Afghanistan. Each year, these munitions are sold without the “knowledge” of the United States, year after year, billions in munitions, much of it illegal technology transfer or designated “weapons of mass destruction.” By Gordon Duff   Today, the United States and Great Britain threatened Libya with direct military action if attacks using advanced and prohibited weapons continue.  Special operations units of Britain’s SAS, supplemented grou...

NOVANEWS   by Enver Masud While others clamor for a no-fly zone over Libya, the Libyan rebels’ themselves need to be heard   Yesterday, a CBS News headline read “Libya rebels beg for no-fly as bombings persist”. What is remarkable is that the article gives virtually no information on who are those Libyans that are begging for a no-fly zone. The only information CBS provides as to the identity of the beggars is in the following paragraph: In a first hand look at why Libya’s rebels are begging for a no-fly zone, CBS News was first on the scene after a bombing. People ignored the danger and raced to show the damage. But there’s no shortage of others begging for a no-fly zone.  According to the Agence France Presse (March 7), “The Gulf Cooperation Council demands that the UN S...

NOVANEWS   BLAIR AND GADDAFI DOING THE "TRIPOLI TANGO" CRITICAL BACKGROUND TO TODAY’S STRUGGLE IN LIBYA Edited and redacted consistent with law. (A rare look into the inner workings of….) By VT Britain STAFF “There is much information that has not been investigated properly about what really happened to the Apartheid regime’s covert WMD arsenals prior to state handover from the “Whites” to Nelson Mandela and the ANC: The covert stock of nine nukes made at Pelindaba. It was only after the death of Dr. David Kelly in July 2003, and all tongues were wagging freely, that we learned that each 20ft ISO-Container they were planning to have covertly shipped out had contained an atomic bomb. VX nerve gas agents made at Roodeplaat – Dr. David Kelly had provided the technical know-how t...

NOVANEWS   On Feb. 18, Zio-Nazi’s Prime Minister along with his Foreign and Defence Ministers hatched a plot to keep Libyan strongmen Muamar Ghaddafi in power and his opponents dead or wounded.

(ANSAmed) – ROME, MARCH 1 – With approval from the government in Tel Aviv, an IsraHell security firm is responsible for sending groups of African mercenaries to Libya to fight the protestors who have been calling for the fall of the Gaddafi regime for the last two weeks, reports Al Jazeera’s website, citing a source in the IsraHell press.

NOVANEWS   Government forces try to retake rebel-held towns along the coast amid reports of shooting in the capital, Tripoli…..     ALJAZEERA : Muammar Gaddafi’s forces are waging counterattacks on anti-government rebels along the central Libyan coast, with air raids and ground battles reported in Bin Jawad, Ras Lanuf, Az-Zawiyah and Misurata.

Bin Jawad was reclaimed by government forces on Sunday, but opposition rebels continued to advance on the area amid conflicting claims about the capture and recapture of several strategic Libyan cities and towns. Sources report deadly clashes took place in the area, that lies in the middl...

NOVANEWS   Libya has had to put up with too much from the Arabs for whom it has poured forth both blood and money. Muammar al-Gaddafi     The struggle for control over oil resources is one of the most dominate factors in economic history. A timeline of the oil robber barons is compelling, especially when viewed from the perspective of muckraking Ida Tarbell. In theHistory of The Standard Oil Company, Tarbell influenced public opinion and provided pressure for government regulation of the oil monopoly. Martha R. Gore writes in The “Joan of Arc” of the Oil Regions Who Exposed Standard Oil, “In November 1906, the federal government took Standard Oil to court, charging it with obstructing interstate trade, a violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890. The result was the b...
