The APEC Circus: Unfree Trade and Growing Insecurity

NOVANEWS By Binoy Kampmark Global Research The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation gathering in Beijing has been another excuse to go through the motions of old problems and old requests. Rivalries are being scratched and aggravated. The speech writers have been busy attempting to give the leaders some mettle to work with. The United States stayed true to form with the Obama administration reiterating its desire to see more Australian troops, among other contingents, deployed to a doomed Iraq. (There are already 200 Australian special forces engaged.) In his meeting with Abbott at the US embassy in Beijing, Obama spoke of how the Australian prime minister had personally “expressed his extraordinary commitment to battling foreign fighters that threaten both of our homelands.” Ag...

“Hong Kong Occupy Central’s” Dirty Money, Leaders engaged in Unethical “Shadow Funding”

NOVANEWS By Tony Cartalucci Global Research A torrent of leaked documents and e-mails have exposed the already questionable “Occupy Central” leadership as engaged in unethical, opaque funding. Millions of Hong Kong dollars have been shifted around secretly without “Occupy Central” supporters’ knowledge, concealing the source of the funding and the true nature of “Occupy Central’s” agenda. For weeks, Beijing, the local Hong Kong government, and analysts around the world have suggested that “Occupy Central” was far from the “spontaneous” “grassroots” movement it claimed to be and that special interests both within Hong Kong and beyond China’s shores were guiding the movement. Leaked e-mails and documents, now confirmed by “Occupy Central” leaders and supporters to be authentic, have...

“The Renminbi Hub”: Chinese Banks Acquire Stakes in US and Canadian Banks. Is There a Hidden Agenda?

NOVANEWS By Bill Holter Global Research Very big news on the banking front, the Federal Reserve is now apparently allowing Chinese banks to take stakes in U.S. banks. North of our border, Canada is contemplating becoming one of the many, recent, “renminbi hubs”. Why would this be happening? Why would it be happening now? First, why is China setting up shop all over the world? This is an easy one, for business, for trade, for relations. China knows exactly where the U.S. and the dollar stand, they also know fairly well where and how the U.S. and her dollar will fall. China is merely preparing the groundwork to trade with Western entities in either local currency or the yuan. In the case of Canada, China sees a very large energy source along with the mining of many necessary re...

Hong Kong “Occupy Central” Funded by Washington: The Neocons and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED)

NOVANEWS Many "Occupy Central" supporters now admit the US National Endowment for Democracy's (NED) role in ongoing chaos in Hong Kong and simply say, "so what?" Here's what... By Tony Cartalucci Global Research James T. Griffiths of the South China Morning Post was preparing a hit piece on analysts exposing the US role behind Hong Kong’s ongoing street protests organized by “Occupy Central.” Through a series of various logical fallacies, Griffiths was attempting to undermine and discredit these alternative news sources that have filled in the missing pieces intentionally left out by larger, subjectively pro-Western media monopolies and reporters like Griffiths himself. In a conversation with Griffiths, after discussing the unscrupulous nature of his tactics, he finally conceded ...

China’s Massive Holdings of Gold Bullion. Is the West Financially Bankrupt?

NOVANEWS By Bill Holter Global Research Alisdair Macleod of Goldmoney.com in a recent article suggests China may already have accumulated between 20,000 and 25,000 tons of gold prior to 2002. Please read this very carefully as it makes very good sense and puts a piece into the puzzle which was missing for so long. Let me also add, if this turns out to be true then it is THE biggest financial news since August 15, 1971 when the U.S. defaulted on the gold standard. Macleod believes that China has been playing possum regarding their gold reserves. If you recall, China announced in 2009 they had accumulated a whopping 1,054 tons of gold. The news at the time was a huge surprise and led to bullishness in the gold market as China was then a confirmed buyer. This total vaulted th...

Hong Kong “Democracy” Protests CIA Backed

NOVANEWS • U.S. government would prefer China have political system CIA can easily influence.• Hardline communists slowly move country toward classic national socialist model. By Bill White — Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)-backed “democracy” protests in the Chinese territory of Hong Kong erupted several weeks ago, as United States intelligence agencies manufactured resentment over the vetting of candidates to govern the city. Calling themselves “Occupy Central” and using tactics the U.S. learned from observing its own Occupy Wall Street “problem,” tens of thousands of Chinese—a small part of Hong Kong’s millions of residents—with a noted foreign contingent of British and American agitators, faced off against Chinese riot police. Umbrellas were used to deflect liquid tear-gas sprays, ...

Russia and China: the Stuff of American Nightmares

NOVANEWS by Ariadna Theokopoulos China willing to promote all-round cooperation with Russia: premier The Dragon is scary enough to give America nightmares , but imagine what a Dragon AND a Bear can do working in tandem! Why they could see our sanctions against Russia and raise us the US sovereign debt to China. They could see our T(rans)P(acific)P(artnership) and raise us the Eurasian Economic Union (Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and next Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan for starters) and the Caspian Sea Agreement (Russia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan). Russia-China — a bear dragon from Hell is what haunts our nightmares: Worst of all, however, is what transpired today during the visit of the Chinese premier, Li, in Russia. China is willing to further materialize all-...

Hong Kong’s Umbrellas are “Made in USA”

NOVANEWS By F. William Engdahl Global Research The Washington neo-cons and their allies in the US State Department and Obama Administration are clearly furious with China, as they are with Russia’s Vladimir Putin. As both Russia and China in recent years have become more assertive about defining their national interests, and as both Eurasian powers draw into a closer cooperation on all strategic levels, Washington has decided to unleash havoc against Beijing, as it has unleashed the Ukraine dis-order against Russia and Russian links to the EU. The flurry of recent deals binding Beijing and Moscow more closely—the $400 billion gas pipeline, the BRICS infrastructure bank, trade in rubles and renminbi by-passing the US dollar—has triggered Washington’s response. It’s called the Hong Ko...

How Might Hong Kong’s Democracy Movement Proceed? Negotiating with The Powers That Be

NOVANEWS by MIKE MILLER The argument presented here is that negotiating with The Powers requires ongoing people power—more than great, but brief, periods of mass mobilization. That is the case whether one is in a democratic or authoritarian setting. What can we learn from past experience, and what are pitfalls to be avoided by the democracy forces? The Negotiables Three major things categorize most negotiations: less or more, sooner or later, and who decides what? Less or more has to do with cost. Is the wage increase going to be $.15 or $.25 an hour? Is the appropriation going to be $50,000,000 or $100,000,000. Is the goal a carbon reduction of ‘x’ or ‘y’ amount? Will classroom size for middle school by 25 or 21? Sooner or later has to do with time, and is also the frequent...

Turmoil in Hong Kong, Terrorism in Xinjiang: Americas Covert War on China

NOVANEWS By Tony Cartalucci Global Research China is facing increasing pressure along two fronts. In its western province of Xinjiang, terrorists have been stepping up destabilization and separatist activities. In Chinas southeast Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong, protests have disrupted normality in the dense urban streets, with protest leaders seeking to directly confront Beijing while dividing and destabilizing both Hong Kong society and attempting to infect the mainland. What is more troubling is the greater geopolitical agenda driving both of these seemingly internal conflicts and that they both lead back to a single source beyond Chinas borders. With the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) now implicated in receiving, training, and employing terrorists from Chinas Xinjiang pro...
