Go figure: Soros-funded watchdog says populist politicians ‘undermine fight against corruption’

NOVANEWS George Soros Image © Maurizio Gambarini / http://www.globallookpress.com By Robert Bridge With the EU elite threatened by a populist insurgency aiming to end free and easy immigration programs and promote nationalism over globalism, an influential think tank says populism will only – wait for it – fuel the fires of corruption. Transparency International, a Berlin-based anti-graft group, warned in its annual Corruption Perceptions Index about the purported perils of populism, a political animal that on occasion rolls through nations like a force of nature to contend with the excesses of an out-of-touch, elitist minority. “Populism is the wrong medicine,” stated TI chair Jose Ugaz, without offering any alternative prescriptions. “In countries with populist or autocratic leaders...

What’s the End Game: hype and hysteria surrounding the “Muslim Ban”

NOVANEWS By Kit  They’re calling it the “Muslim Ban”, that’s the headline attention-grabber. It has its own twitter hashtag too. Everyone, all around the progressive “free world” is coming together to denounce this barbarism with one voice. Actors are making speeches at the SAG awards, and earnest navel-gazing columnists are writing about how this travel ban clashes with “British values”. There’s a petition to ban Trump from entering the UK with over a million signatures already (only tree from the British Antarctic Territories this time). John Harris, in the Guardian, even manages to make this all about Brexit – how triggering Article 50 will push us closer to a Trump administration that is “ruining America’s reputation”. Not even Jeremy Corbyn was immune, his biggest weakness it seems, ...

Soros-funded NGOs aiming to bring down Hungarian govt – foreign minister

NOVANEWS RT  The activities of organizations funded by US billionaire investor George Soros in Hungary are “anti-democratic,” as they want to undermine the government in Budapest, the foreign minister of Hungary told RT. Soros “would like this government to fail, he would like to kind of fire this government because he doesn’t like our approach, doesn’t like our policies,” Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto told RT’s Sophie Shevardnadze. “We find it very anti-democratic if someone from abroad would like to influence Hungarian voters on whom to vote for,” he asserted. Several days before the interview, the Hungarian parliament began to discuss a bill allowing authorities to audit NGO executives and request detailed reports on their foreign donations. Earlier in January, chairman of the r...

GERMANY – Berlin University Suspends Pro-BDS Professor

NOVANEWS The Free University in Berlin has cancelled academic assignments for a pro-BDS professor who allegedly engaged in ''anti-Semitic'' activities. In a tweet from the Free University sent to The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday, the university stated: “The professor will not receive teaching assignments at the Otto Suhr Institute until the accusations are clarified. The Otto Suhr Institute (OSI) at the FU said it takes the accusations very seriously. The FU’s Twitter handle has 6,776 followers. The OSI, where the anti-Zionist academic Roldán Mendívil teaches at the FU, is a well-respected political science department. Roldán Mendívil wrote on her blog titled “cosas que no se rompen” that it “only makes sense that  different groups meet and BDS-affiliated or BDS activists fight against rep...

Cynically Using Anti-Semitism to Attack BDS

NOVANEWS By Sarah Levy, Socialist Worke A BDS march held on May 15, 2010. A classic bait-and-switch operation is designed to whip up opposition to BDS and Palestine solidarity organizing on college campuses. (Photo: Stephanie Law / Flickr) The election of Donald Trump has been accompanied by an alarming rise in anti-Semitism. Trump appointed Steve Bannon, an open anti-Semite, to be his senior counselor, and in the days after the election, there was a dramatic uptick in anti-Semitic incidents. Given this, you might be tempted to regard the U.S. Senate's passage, by unanimous consent, of a bill called the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act as a welcome measure in dark times. Unfortunately, you would be mistaken. Despite the bill's title, it is actually part of the ongoing and intensifying...

Facing Trial for Hate Speech, Islamophobic Dutch Politician Hopes to Ride Trump’s Tide

NOVANEWS By Thomas J. Scott, Truthout Geert Wilders, founder and leader of the Dutch Party for Freedom, during day two of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, on July 19, 2016. (Photo: Damon Winter / The New York Times) Dutch politician Geert Wilders -- a poster boy for promoting Islamophobia in Europe and the United States -- has been on trial for alleged hate speech against Moroccans since October 31. The Dutch court is expected to deliver its verdict tomorrow. The trial concerns a 2014 political rally at which Wilders asked the audience whether they wanted "more or fewer Moroccans in this city [The Hague] and in the Netherlands." When the crowd started chanting, "Fewer, fewer!" Wilders replied, "Well, we'll arrange that, then." As a result of his comments, thou...

Blood Diamonds: More than One Fifth of Diamonds Sold Worldwide are Funding Bloodshed and Violence

NOVANEWS By Sean Clinton Global Research Nobody wants to give, or receive, a present tarnished by bloodshed and violence, but this Christmas, many people will end up with  blood on their hands. Over one-fifth of diamonds on the global market in value terms are a significant source of funding for regimes guilty of the most grievous human rights violations.  If these diamonds were funding rebel groups they would, rightly, be considered blood diamonds and banned. But these blood diamonds evade all regulation, are labelled conflict-free and masquerade as ethical diamonds. Successful fraudsters tell barefaced lies that are so audacious their victims cannot begin to believe or even suspect that anything is awry. This is precisely how the jewellery industry has conned the public and m...

Human Rights Watch Zionist propaganda

NOVANEWS Russia/Syria: War Crimes in Month of Bombing Aleppo What the language of Ken Roth of Human Rights Watch about Syria tells you about the biases of the organization. I noticed this yesterday.  When Human Rights Watch produces reports about human rights violations by US forces or by Israeli forces or by Saudi forces in Yemen, they always use the expression: "possible war crimes".  But notice that when it comes to Syria, they use a different more certain language.  Even in the case of rebels, they always say: "possible war crimes." Kenneth Roth (@KenRoth) 12/1/16, 1:05 PM Satellite imagery--950 bomb sites in a month--illustrates the extent of Russian-Syrian war crimes in eastern Aleppo. bit.ly/2gQdmvNpic.twitter.com/9MwPUJGR2R Posted by As'ad AbuKhalil    ...

Zionist Facebook blocks Palestine Network for Dialogue’s page

NOVANEWS Zionist Facebook administration resumed its policy of targeting Palestinian media pages after blocking Palestine Network for Dialogue’s page for the third time Friday. The Palestine Network for Dialogue, an online discussion board, was blocked without any prior notice although it has 70,000 followers. Palestine Network for Dialogue specialises in publishing stories about the plight of Palestinians both in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip in addition to those living in 1948 occupied Palestine. Last September, several pro-Palestinian Facebook pages and accounts were removed including accounts of seven editors of the Palestinian Information Center. In a controversial move, the Jewish Nazi regime and Facebook reportedly agreed to work together to determine how to tackle in...

Mainstream Media, Kellyanne Conway and Soros

NOVANEWS By Renee Parsons | CounterPunch  For most long time exiles from the Democratic Party, the post election liberal meltdown as a result of HRC’s historic, unexpected loss continues to gratify as photos of White House staff in tears do little to stir sympathy. But unexpected? Only in the eyes of Democratic party stalwarts who wouldn’t know what to say to a Trump supporter, if they met one. After all, how could she lose with the unwavering support of every institution in American life that mattered including every media conglomerate at the DNC’s fingertips – but even that boomeranged on the impending coronation. Having digested Wikileaks emails re the MSM and partisan collusion, it was of no small interest then to view the Anderson Cooper and the Jake Tapper interviews on CNN’s S...
