AN OLDIE BUT A GOODIE–’IF YOU DON’T TAKE A JOB AS A PROSTITUTE, WE CAN STOP YOUR BENEFITS’

NOVANEWS http://theuglytruth.wordpress.com ed note–this is a story from many years back, but still serves an extremely vital service in contextualizing the world we live in. It is a constant mantra we in the west are constantly subjected–how DEM MOOZLEMS ‘treat their women’. Mohammed the pedophile…72 virgins…female circumcision, etc, etc, etc. However, here we have a story taking place in Germany, the one-time HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE for Pete’s sake, where a young woman is told if she refuses to take on the degrading and dangerous job of prostituting herself she will lose her unemplyment benefits. We can JUST IMAGINE if this were to take place in an Islamic country, all the screeching and howling we would get from the JMSM, but when it happens in one of those countries tasked with fighti...

Europe: The Liars Club, Who Really Owes the Money

NOVANEWS The EU is a Financial Shell Game   by  Gordon Duff,  Senior Editor You have been hearing Europe is broke but what you have heard has been filtered through newspapers and TV stations owned by “certain groups” paid to lie to you.  Your information is useless, as usual, like everything else you think you know.  Let me tell you a short story and then drop some minor facts any 2 year old could check that will, we hope, make you question other things. Other than peddling lies on the internet, correct that, “information” that contradicts the harmful mythology peddled by media with an agenda quite directly orchestrated by organized crime syndicates, I work in murders and executions, tied to the defense industry. This, of course, is a childish joke.  Business school folks have an und...

Crisis Conditions Grip Eurozone

NOVANEWS by Stephen Lendman   From inception, the euro system was doomed to fail. In the 1990s, Progressive Radio News Hour regular Bob Chapman predicted it. So didn’t British economist/euro expert Bernard Connolly before its January 1999 introduction. His 1995 book titled, “The Rotten Heart of Europe: The Dirty War for Europe’s Money”explained the risks in detail enough to understand. More recently, he said troubled Eurozone countries can’t cut their way to recovery. Austerity is a hairbrained disastrous policy. So is the “malignant lunacy of monetary union,” combining 17 dissimilar countries under one monetary/fiscal system. It’s as nonsensical as mixing fire and ice or believing more debt reduces out-of-control levels. In 1998, Connolly predicted that one or more weak European cou...

European imperialism tightens its grip

NOVANEWS Fight Racism! Fight Imperialism! 224 December 2011/January 2012   The sovereign debt crisis in the eurozone is spinning out of control. Having spread from the weaker eurozone countries to Italy and Spain, the euro crisis is now hitting the stronger core economies of the eurozone, threatening to drive the global economy into recession. Meanwhile continuing stalemate in the US Congress has prevented any resolution of its debt crisis. Divisions are developing not only between the major imperialist powers but also within the ruling class in every major country. At a fractious and totally unproductive G20 summit in early November, British Prime Minister David Cameron warned: ‘Every day the eurozone crisis continues and every day it is not resolved is a day that has a chilling ...

Trends to Barbarism and Prospects for Socialism

NOVANEWS by Ahmed Sajjad Hashemy Introduction Western societies and states are moving inexorably toward conditions resembling barbarism; structural changes are in place which are reversing decades of social welfare and subjecting labor, natural resources and the wealth of nations to raw exploitation, pillage and plunder, driving living standards downward and provoking unprecedented levels of discontent. Barbarism is most clearly evident in the genocidal wars, organized and directed by the US and Western Europe. Imperial destruction of entire societies is accompanied by the disarticulation, murder and exile of the modern scientific, secular and artistic core of Iraqi society and the fomenting of retrograde ethno-religious strife and satraps. Imperial barbarism is found in the systematic ap...

CHA-CHING!!! GERMANY TO COMPENSATE JEWS WHO FLED THE NAZIS IN THE SOVIET UNION

NOVANEWS  http://theuglytruth.wordpress.com This is the first time the German government has recognized the suffering of those who fled for their lives during the Holocaust. Haaretz Germany has agreed to grant one-time compensation to Jews who fled the Nazi onslaught in the Soviet Union during World War II, even if they ended up in regions that Nazis did not conquer, the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany announced on Sunday. Payment will go to Jewish victims of Nazism from the former Soviet Union who live in Israel, the United States, Germany and other Western countries. This is the first time the German government has recognized the suffering of those who fled for their lives. “Jews who fled ahead of the advancing Nazis in order not to be murdered were nevertheless ...

Euro Crisis: Britain’s Financial Arsonist Returns to the Scene of the Crime

NOVANEWS By Finian Cunningham Global Research, The incendiary finance capitalism unleashed by Britain 25 years ago is at the heart of Europe’s raging debt woes You either have to admire British Prime Minister David Cameron’s brass neck, or wince at his arrogant stupidity. The smart money is probably on the latter option. For here you had the British leader heading to the European Union summit convened last week to “salvage” the EU from its the terminal debt crisis – a crisis that is threatening the survival of the Euro single currency, the political future of the European Union and may even be sounding the death knell for the faltering capitalist world economy. Yet, given the stakes involved, all Cameron wanted to do was exploit the crisis in order to claw further concessi...

SWEDISH PROFESSOR LINKS ISRAEL TO NORWAY MASSACRE

NOVANEWS  http://theuglytruth.wordpress.com Ola Tunander suggests Israel behind bloody terror attacks committed by Norwegian Anders Behring Breivik in July, stirring up controversy in Oslo ed note–from the beginning it was (and continues to be) the opinion of this website that Breivik’s actions were not an Israeli “false flag’ operation per se, but rather the natural result of the anti-Islamic hysteria that Israel and her supporters have created through their control of political discourse on a daily basis. If Israel had concocted this directly, she would have used a Muslim to carry it out, thus furthering her narrative of the ‘fanatical, dangerous, bloodthirsty’ religion of Islam that propels its followers to commit Jihad against the ‘infidel’. ynet Nevertheless, this is a story worth...

Europe in Disarray

NOVANEWS by Stephen Lendman   Europe’s underpinnings can only hold so long. Years of entrapment under euro straightjacket rules means eventual dissolution and collapse. Throwing more money at out-of-control debt problems buys delay only. Instead of swallowing painful solutions, EU leaders keep repeating the same mistakes, heading dire conditions to catastrophic ones. In fact, reactions to last week’s summit were decidedly negative. On December 14, the Financial Times (FT) headlined, “Doubts about eurozone fiscal deal grow,” saying: The euro selloff against the dollar “showed the strain of efforts to force through austerity policies and impose tough new spending rules.” Moreover, concerns emerged among at least four non-euro countries over whether legal considerations would force them...

Europe Lays an Egg

NOVANEWS by Stephen Lendman   Like earlier summits, they met. They talked. They agreed to talk more and solved nothing. Once again Europe laid an egg. In fact, in 2011 alone, EU leaders held 19 emergency meetings/summits, proposed dozens of rescue packages, made as many promises, yet are back at square one. It reminded some of Variety’s October 30, 1929 post-market crash headline: “Wall Street Lays an Egg.” After the latest Brussels summit, business publications hinted at systemic failure. On December 12, a Bloomberg editorial headlined, “Europe’s Fiscal Pact May Solve Next Crisis, Not This One,” saying: Summit leaders “asked the wrong questions – then failed to answer even those.” Moreover, whatever they agree on won’t stick. It didn’t before and won’t now. “In concentrating on long...
