German Bombshell Bestseller Exposing CIA Media Control Blocked in US

NOVANEWS Americans are being prevented from reading an important book by a hero who made a huge difference By Charles Bausman  Udo Ulfkotte is near and dear to our hearts, because we wrote about him in October of 2014, (Top German Editor: CIA Bribing Journalists) a few weeks after our founding, and these articles were some of our first to go viral, getting hundreds of thousands of views, despite the fact that we were practically unknown. His book caused a sensation in Germany, was a best-seller despite being completely ignored by the same media he was implicating, and was a major factor in turning German public opinion against the Ukraine war. Ulfkotte’s book was extraordinary because it named names in the German establishment, a sure-fire path to massive libel lawsuits. We were the f...

75th Anniversary of the Treblinka camp

NOVANEWS By Ian Greenhalgh  According to orthodox history 75 years ago today  on July 23, 1942 the Treblinka extermination camp is opened. Treblinka was one of four camps (Treblinka, Maidanek, Sobibor and Belzec) along the Bug River in Eastern Poland that were the site of the SS ‘Operation Reinhard’. It is claimed that Operation Reinhard was the systematic annihilation of Jews in those four camps, however, does the actual evidence support this claim? There are two key documents to consider – the Korherr Report and the Hofle decode, both of which give the figure of 1,274, 166 Jews as being the number who received ‘Sonderbehandlung’ (special treatment) at these camps. But what was this special treatment exactly? If orthodox history is to be believed, it was a euphemism for mass murder, ...

The leaders of the three countries met on a beautiful ship, anchored just in front of Trieste's Unity Square, wher...

What the Nazis Did to Us

NOVANEWS by BILL MEULEMANS Photo by ptwo | CC BY 2.0 The speaker did not give his name, but he was apparently a well-known member of the Hebrew University academic community in Jerusalem. He was a sociologist who started his presentation by pulling up his sleeve and showing the numbers tattooed on his arm.  He was a Holocaust survivor who had immigrated to Israel from Poland.  He reminded everyone in the room that he had spent his entire professional life on the subject of the Israeli policy toward the Palestinians. His opening point was that violent experiences in life shape individual behavior, stressing the fact that upward of 30% of children who are beaten severely by their parents grow up to be child-beaters when they become parents.  He went into statistical and anecdotal evide...

As Tensions with US Mount, Germany Reaffirms “Strategic Partnership” with China

Brexit – Is Germany Dictating to Britain the After-Brexit Rules? – A Prelude to the French Elections

NOVANEWS By Peter Koenig Global Research   “German government officials have  proposed giving Britain access to the European Union’s single market in return for a fee, … The 35-page report on the potential costs of Brexit to Germany said Britain’s departure from the EU risked “serious economic and stability relevant consequences; effects in particular on the real economy.” The ministry officials calculated Berlin would have to pay an additional 4.5 billion euros ($5 billion) a year into EU coffers as a result of Britain’s departure from the bloc. To mitigate the cost, they floated the idea of charging Britain for access to the single market.  “Such a future financial contribution should be used to alleviate the financial consequences of Brexit (reduction in EU spending or incre...

Neo-Nazi Network in German Army Exposed

NOVANEWS By Peter Schwarz World Socialist Web Site   The arrest of a German army officer suspected of plotting the assassination of leftist politicians and high-ranking state officials has exposed the operations of neo-Nazi forces at the highest levels of the German military (Bundeswehr). The information that has emerged thus far indicates that the suspected officer-terrorist was part of a broader network of fascists within the Bundeswehr, and that his activities were known to his superiors and covered up by them. Most astonishing is the official reaction to these alarming revelations. They have prompted an outpouring of anger in the German media and from the establishment parties directed not at the existence of this network and evidence of its toleration by high-level state...
