Global Economic Crisis Deepening

NOVANEWS America’s Misery Index at All Time High! What’s Wrong Here? by Stephen Lendman In the 1960s, economist Arthur Okum began calculated America’s Misery Index by adding the unemployment and inflation rates for a sense of public pain or lack of it in good times. In May, it hit a record high exceeding 25, surpassing the earlier June 1980 21.98 top, based on how both measures were then calculated, not today’s methodology, manipulated to hide painful truths. At issue is: over 22% unemployment, including discouraged workers and the so-called “birth-death model” estimate of net non-reported jobs from new businesses minus losses from ones no longer operating; during hard times, painful truths are hidden by creating non-existent jobs out of whole cloth instead of subtracting them...

Stalin and the Ukranian Massacre

NOVANEWS by Eric Margolis Five years ago, I wrote a column about the unknown Holocaust in Ukraine. I was shocked to receive a flood of mail from young Americans and Canadians of Ukrainian descent telling me that until they read my article, they knew nothing of the 1932—33 genocide in which Stalin’s regime murdered 7 million Ukrainians and sent 2 million to concentration camps. How, I wondered, could such historical amnesia afflict so many young North-American Ukrainians? For Jews and Armenians, the genocides their people suffered are vivid, living memories that influence their daily lives. Yet today, on the 70th anniversary of the destruction of a quarter of Ukraine’s population, this titanic crime has almost vanished into history’s black hole. So has the extermination ...

‘Iran denies passage to Merkel’s plane’

NOVANEWS The new Airbus A340-300 of the German government is waiting at Berlin’s Tegel airport, May 30, 2011. The German government says Iran has refused to give permission to the plane carrying German Chancellor Angela Merkel to fly over the country, a report says. Merkel’s plane was forced to circle over Turkey for about two hours on Tuesday before it touched down in New Delhi, India, as it was not allowed access to Iran’s airspace, Germany’s Deutsche Welle news agency reported. After an hour of negotiations mediated by Turkey, Tehran granted the German chancellor’s plane permission to cross. Had the dispute continued any longer, the Airbus 340 carrying Merkel would have been forced to stop in Turkey for refueling. A second German plane with four German government mini...

Iran: Choosing reliable trade partners

NOVANEWS In order to fight US-Israel sponsored UNSC sanctions – the Islamic Republic has to be very careful in maintaining its trade with foreign countries based on past experience. Currently, Tehran’s leading trade partners are China, Russia, Turkey, Germany and India. All these countries have been under Washington’s pressure to boycott trade dealings with Iran especially in its oil and energy sectors. Russia and India, in the past have been found notoriously unreliable trade partners. Tehran accepted Moscow its trade partner as result of its needs for modern technology which was denied to the country by Zionist Occupied Western governments after the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Moscow, bankrupted as result of its mislead Afghan military adventure, was looking for a reliabl...

The Solution to Greece’s Sovereign Debt Crisis

NOVANEWS by Mike Stathis In the very first issue of the Intelligent Investor (June 2009), I discussed problems in Europe that became a reality several months later. “It is likely that America will end up on the hook for the majority of the bailout funds needed for Eastern Europe via the IMF…In the end, I feel the long-term fate of the European Union (EU) will be threatened; not so much for economic reasons as for the continued destruction of each nation’s sovereignty. Already, common laws of the union are causing social disruptions based upon cultural differences within each member nation. It is perhaps for this reason that the union has aggressively opened its doors to nations outside of the union as a way to dilute the cultural and racial identities of each nation. But we have al...

Italy to upgrade Palestinian delegation to full diplomatic mission

NOVANEWS Haaretz Italian President Giorgio Napolitano announced Monday that Italy was upgrading the status of the Palestinian representation in Rome, from a delegation to a full diplomatic mission, Israel Radio reported. Speaking during a press conference with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in Bethlehem, Napolitano said the decision was proof of Italy’s good ties with the PA. Abbas said there was still time to renew the negotiations with Israel for a peace deal based on the 1967 borders and the cessation of all settlement construction in the West Bank. He expresses hope that United States President Barack Obama would also make the same decision during his expected speech next week. In recent months Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, and other countri...

Zionist ‘Sarkozy promotes anti-Islam laws’

NOVANEWS Posted by: Sammi Ibrahem Chair of West Midland Palestine Solidarity Campaign Women wearing hijab and the burqa in France A French journalist and filmmaker says that President Nicolas Sarkozy is promoting anti-Muslim laws, such as the recent burqa ban, to gain the support of the French National Front for his re-election. “I think Sarkozy probably thinks he is going to get back the vote of some of the National Front that he’s been losing. And I think he doesn’t care at all about the burqa,” Naima Bouteldja said in an interview with Press TV’s Rattansi and Ridley (R&R) program. “I mean this is concerning a very tiny minority of women in France. No one has been asking them what they think, not even progressive organizations, and he’s just basically trying to...

HOLOCAUST STORY OF POLAND

NOVANEWS July 30, 2010 by Gordon Duff The Tragic Death of a Night Porter …what possesses greater intrinsic value? Maintaining the mainstream version of the Holocaust at any cost, or the life of a single human being whose only offence was to engage in historical research in a quest for the truth? LES MISERABLES IN MEMORIAM By JPBellinger On June 11, 2010, a badly decomposed body was discovered wedged in between the seat of a parked vehicle in a shopping center located in Karolinka, Opole, in Poland. The cadaver was decomposed beyond recognition, and DNA tests turned out to be inconclusive in establishing the identity of the victim. However, papers and documents discovered inside the vehicle led police to conclude that the deceased individual was Dariusz Ratajczak, a professor of hist...

JERUSALEM QUARTET EXPOSED

NOVANEWS This is from the Scots Palestine Solidarity website: A Written statement (30 Mar 2010) by Jerusalem Quartet in response to disruption of their Wigmore Hall concert the day before states: "The demonstrators were mistaken because we are not representatives of the Government of Israel. We are Israeli citizens, but have no connection with or patronage by the Government." The statement said much more which was untrue, but the above point is crucial. It is understandable that the Jerusalem Quartet attempt to distance themselves from the State of Israel, and therefore the criticism that comes with their status as Cultural Ambassadors of an apartheid state. Unfortunately, facts can be a nuisance for those seeking to defend the indefensible. Let’s look at them: Perhaps they don’t consid...

UKRAINIAN Kids: VICTIMS OF ZIONIST ORGAN THEFT

NOVANEWS An international Zionist conspiracy to kidnap children and harvest their organs gathering momentum as another shocking story divulges Zionist regime plot importUkrainian children and harvest their organs. The story brings to light the fact that Zionist gang from the Zio-Nazi state of ‘Israel’ has brought some 25,000 Ukrainian children into the occupied entity over the past two years in order to harvest their organs. It cites a Ukrainian man's fruitless search for 15 children who had been adopted in ‘Israel’. The children had clearly been taken by Zionist medical centers, where they were used for 'spare parts'. The account was unveiled five days ago by a Ukrainian philosophy professor and author, Vyacheslav Gudin, at a pseudo-academic conference in the Ukrainian capital, Kiev. Gudi...
