Germany should no longer 'turn a blind eye' to Saudi Arabia's actions

NOVANEWS Alexander Mosesov © AFP 2015/ CLEMENS BILAN The statement by German Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel regarding Saudi Arabia's alleged involvement in funding Islamic radicals should be met in a positive way, Helmut Scholz, member of the European Parliament, told Sputnik on Monday.Earlier in December, Gabriel said that Riyadh had been funding extremist mosques and communities all over the world. "When Mr. Gabriel as a one of the leading politician of the German government is stating that Germany would no longer turn a blind eye with regard to Saudi Arabia I believe this should be really welcomed," Scholz, who is a member of Germany's left-wing Die Linke party, said. The lawmaker noted that Germany's future policy on the issue remains unclear and called on the German governm...

Berlin rejects intelligence agency’s criticism of Zio-Wahhabi regime

NOVANEWS The German government yesterday refused to issue the findings of its intelligence agencies regarding Saudi Zio-Wahhabi regime plans to rule the Arab world, reiterating that Saudi Zio-Wahhabi family is an “essential partner” in the Middle East, Arabi21 reported. Spokesman Steffen Seibert said that it is “important” that the country has a “united” stance towards Saudi Arabia’s role in the region. “Evaluations of the German intelligence do not reflect this united stance,” Seibert added. He said that does not mean there must not be any “differences of opinion” in our political ruling systems, but Saudi Arabia “is a very very important factor in the region,” citing Saudi’s partnership in the Syrian talks in Vienna, Austria, and its plans to hold a meeting for the Syrian opposition gro...

Refugee crisis in Germany: Nazis on the rise, "never again" is happening again

NOVANEWS Sott.net Right-wing movement PEGIDA draws 25,000 people to the streets in Dresden The reports coming from Germany these days can be confusing: we hear stories about the staggering numbers of refugees pouring into the country, about refugees disappearing without a trace, about Germany being the only country actually living up to its responsibility to provide shelter for these people who fled the chaos that the West created with its perpetual war in the Middle East, wild theories that claim the "so-called refugee crisis" is entirely manufactured in order to "invade" Europe in general and Germany in particular, while providing a cheap labor force for the corporate elites, and even warnings of an impending civil war in Germany. However, the most important thing people need to ...

The Cameron-Blair Way Of Going To War. UN Consent Is “Not Required” to Bomb Syria

NOVANEWS By Christopher Lee Global Research Those who criticised the way Tony Blair took the UK to war may reflect that the present Prime Minister expresses similar sentiments. Here at Westminster, in the motherland of parliamentary democracy, David Cameron has announced that as far as he is concerned it is not necessary to get the consent of the United Nations to start British bombing in Syria. Of course, that is a repeat of the transition to war adopted by Tony Blair in 2003. It was an apparent flagrant sweeping aside of the authority of the UN. So it is again. The bigger picture is different, but there is one disturbing similarity between Blair and Cameron’s reasoning. In 2003 Tony Blair had been told by the then US President George W. Bush that if there were to be political hassl...

Some Questions for Obama and His Gang

NOVANEWS By Christopher Black  Mr. Obama, Mr. Cameron. Mr. Hollande, Madame Merkel, Mr. Erdogan and all the other members of the criminal conspiracy to dominate the world, I ask you, do you intend to test our patience to its limit? How much longer will your killing frenzy madden us? At what point do you stop your reckless push to the very brink of world war. Have the Nuremberg trials, the UN Charter, international law, have the fears and protests of the people, have your continual defeats in one war after another, your crimes against mankind revealed to the light time and time again, had no effect on you at all? Do you not know that your plans have been exposed, that the conspiracy and the conspirators have been identified? Which of us does not know what you were up to yesterday evening, ...

Elderly German Lady sentenced to 10 months in prison for doubting Auschwitz extermination claims

NOVANEWS By Michael Hoffman  Ursula Haverbeck Hamburg District Court, Nov. 11, 2015 — 87-year-old Ursula Haverbeck has been sentenced to imprisonment in Germany for doubting that people were “exterminated” by “gassing” in the Nazi concentration camp in Auschwitz. The defendant, in good spirits, reiterated her doubts in the courtroom. She arrived without a lawyer, and defended herself. Some fifty of her supporters crowded the courtroom and the hall outside. She was accused of giving an interview to the German magazine Panorama in which she stated that Auschwitz was not an extermination camp but a labor camp. The mass murder of Jews had not taken place, she said. Haverbeck, former chairwoman of the now-banned freethought association, “Collegium Humanum,” told the judge,”Here, I stand.” Turn...

Of Immigrants and Imbeciles

NOVANEWS by VICTOR GROSSMAN Berlin. How the world changes! Last spring many Europeans, especially Greeks, were so angry at a tight-fisted, cruel Angela Merkel and her acceptance of  people’s sufferings that they scribbled Hitler mustaches on her public portraits. Only weeks later she was celebrated around the continent, indeed the world, as a symbol of generosity and humanity. Which judgement is correct, that until July or that since late August? Is she a Frau Scrooge – or a reincarnated Mother Teresa? What defies any clear appraisal is the on-going wavering of her government, her party and herself! The German political scene is in turmoil, with echoes all over Europe! Such turbulence has on occasion opened the way to healthy change. Now, in my view, it can lead to  great dangers. The re...

German intel: Migrants will bring anti-Semitism

NOVANEWS  JERUSALEM POST BERLIN – Germany’s security and intelligence agencies expressed alarm over the influx of refugees and migrants who harbor radical Islamic views and hatred of Jews, according to a Sunday report in Welt am Sonntag. According to a security document obtained by the paper and read by top-level agency personnel, “We are importing Islamic extremism, Arab anti-Semitism, national and ethnic conflicts of other peoples as well as a different societal and legal understanding.” The newspaper wrote that security sources warn that “the integration of hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants Germany is no longer possible in light of the number and already existing parallel societies.” The term “parallel societies” in Germany is frequently defined as insulated Muslim communities ...

Using Refugees: Angela Merkel’s “Turkish Gambit”

NOVANEWS By Binoy Kampmark Global Research   The frontline in Europe’s refugee movement is shifting.  In some cases, there is more of the same: the Hungarian approach entailing closures, followed by a brief easing and more closures. Closing the border with Croatia saw an inevitable movement towards Slovenia, whose government has now announced restrictions of 2,500 people a day. Now, the next stage of the refugee problem is coming to the fore: their use as bargaining chips on the European political stage.  While Germany cannot be blamed for trying to find some measure of easing the enormous numbers even as other states fudge their obligations, the “keep them away” approach had to come sooner or later. In the absence of any unified policy on refugees in Europe, it is each country to i...

Syrian gang rape victim who fled to Germany is stabbed to death

NOVANEWS Rokstan M A young woman, Rokstan M, 20, whose family branded her ‘unclean’ after she was gang-raped Saudi Zio-Wahhabi 'ISIS' in her Syrian homeland has been found murdered, allegedly by her father and brothers in Germany, evidently on the orders of her own mother… Shortly before she was found dead in an allotment garden in the eastern German city of Dessau, she apparently had a premonition of her fate. Writing on her WhatsApp profile, she said: ‘I am awaiting death. But I am too young to die.’ Rokstan had been living in a house for single women before returning to her family a few days before she was murdered and buried in a shallow grave. The killing has served to pull into sharp focus the cultural gulf between Germans and the more than one million Syrian expected to arrive i...
