Serbia: Martti Ahtissaari, Man of Honour?

NOVANEWS Martti Ahtisaari By Sir Vojislav Milosevic Director, Center for Counter-terrorism &World Peace Former UN special envoy to resolve the Kosovo problem, Martti Ahtisaari, has accused Serbia of refused to fairly consider the history of the Kosovo conflict and, therefore, should bear the consequences. In an interview with German newspaper „Spigel” Ahtisaari said that it is wrong to designate Slobodan Milosevic and Ratko Mladic as the sole culprit for the events in former Yugoslavia. ”Completely wrong to say that Milosevic and Mladic were the only culprits. If a society do such activity, such as Serbia did, then it must bear the consequences. The solution for Kosovo seems therefore, at best, preventive” said Ahtisaari, Nobel Peace Prize winner year 2008. The solution for K...

FRENCH MOTHER, 32, SET TO BECOME FIRST WOMAN TO BE JAILED FOR WEARING BANNED ISLAMIC VEIL

NOVANEWS Facing jail: Hind Ahmas, left, could be sentenced to two years in prison for wearing a banned Islamic head covering in France dailymail.co.uk A 32-year-old mother from France is set to become the first woman ever to be sent to prison for wearing an Islamic veil. Hind Ahmas refuses to accept the legitimacy of a Paris court which has ordered her to spend 15 days learning her civic duties. She was sentenced by magistrates in Meaux, a Paris suburb, yesterday – after being arrested wearing an outlawed veil outside the Elysee Palace in the French capital on April 11. That was shortly after Nicolas Sarkozy’s government introduced a ban on all forms of Islamic head coverings, including the niqab and the burka. Ahmas was not allowed into the hearing at Meaux Criminal Court because she ...

FISTFUL OF DOLLARS–ANOTHER 16,000 HOLOCAUST VICTIMS TO GET GERMAN PENSIONS

NOVANEWS http://theuglytruth.wordpress.com Addition brings total number of reparation pensions to 66,000 people; of the new beneficiaries, 5,000 live in the United States. Haaretz After a year of tough negotiations, Germany has agreed to pay pensions to about 16,000 additional Holocaust victims worldwide — mostly survivors who were once starving children in Nazi ghettos, or were forced to live in hiding for fear of death. The agreement announced Monday between the New York-based Claims Conference and the German government is “not about money — it’s about Germany’s acknowledgment of these people’s suffering,” said Greg Schneider, the conference’s executive vice president. “They’re finally getting recognition of the horrors they endured as children,” he told The Associated Press. Of...

On The German Dolphin Submarine Sale to IsraHell

NOVANEWS Max Blumenthal, despite previous disagreements, is one of my favorite liberal writers on the Palestine issue. Unfortunately, being a liberal, there are certain things that Blumenthal has decided not to understand. Chiefly, the role of these in politics, and especially in Western policy towards the Middle East and our captive little inciter of the highly profitable regional arms race, Israel. Consider this recent commentary on why Germany has chosen to sell a subsidized Dolphin attack submarine to Israel. Blumenthal writes correctly that Israel will receive the submarine at a “steep discount subsidized by German taxpayers.” He writes incorrectly that the only “explanation for the sale is persistent Holocaust guilt.” And he doesn’t say at all who the money is going to, or how mu...

LOL!!! GERMANY PROBING “IRAN PLOT” TO ATTACK U.S. BASES ON ITS SOIL

NOVANEWS Here we go again! Another ‘Iranian plot’, only this time in Germany. In the meantime, while Germany is waisting all sorts of geld on this ‘investigation’ into Iranian espionage, Israeli spies are scurrying around like cockroaches throughout the country, doing devil knows what, and doing so with a free hand. The West deserves whatever is coming its way for allowing itself to be used as a whore for Jewish interests. Harretz German prosecutors have opened an inquiry into allegations of an Iranian plot to attack U.S. bases on German soil, prosecutor-general Harald Range confirmed in Karlsruhe on Thursday. He was referring to a report in the mass-circulation newspaper Bild that a German businessman was suspected of espionage for the purpose of sabotage. He was alleged to have...

‘Germany approves subsidized sale of military submarine to Israel’

NOVANEWS in Uncategorized German official, speaking on condition of anonymity, says his country set aside $180 million to fund about a third of another Dolphin-type submarine. Associated Press A senior German official said Wednesday that the government has approved the subsidized sale of another Dolphin-type military submarine to Israel. The official said Germany has set aside €135 million ($180 million) in next year’s budget to pay for about a third of its cost. Dolphin-class submarines are capable of carrying nuclear-tipped missiles, but there is no evidence that Israel has armed them with such weapons. Israel already has three Dolphin submarines from Germany — one half-funded and two entirely funded by Berlin, a staunch Israeli ally. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity ...

Is German Chancellor Angela Merkel A Former Communist Spy?

NOVANEWS The Legacy of Post WWII Political Intrigue and Espionage by Trowbridge H. Ford editing… Jim W. Dean Angela Merkel Whenever a sovereign nation is conquered by another, its inhabitants, whether they be from its elite or dregs, ultimately have a hard time adjusting to foreign occupation because they don’t know how long it will last, and what it may be replaced by. The process is made more difficult if it seems that there is no alternative to the conquerors, especially if they appear to represent some wave of the future. But then, there are always surprises in history, and some seemingly sure things turn out to be nothing more than delayed dead ends. Of course, the alternative to such a course is to continue to fight the occupiers tooth and nail as there seems to be no choice abo...

Something’s Rotten in the Heart of Western Governments

NOVANEWS Beware politicians cloaked in the American flag or diplomats sporting Union Jack kippahs… by Stuart Littlewood When Marcellus, in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, famously says, “Something’s rotten in the state of Denmark”, he means that the body politic is rotting from the top down and the corruption stinks to high heaven. 410 years later the Bard’s words are especially applicable to the so-called political élite of the Western world. The stench of their corruption is assailing the nostrils of more and more people and causing mass nausea. Thankfully some small but effective relief is available in the United States courtesy of the Council for the National Interest Foundation (CNIF), an independent non-profit concern that provides information and analysis on the Middle East and its relation...

Eurozone Doomsayer Got it Right

NOVANEWS by Stephen Lendman Eurozone economies are cratering. Every fix tried so far failed. Combining 17 dissimilar countries under one monetary/fiscal system assured disaster waiting to happen. British economist Bernard Connolly knew it before the euro’s 1998 introduction. His 1995 book titled, “The Rotten Heart of Europe: The Dirty War for Europe’s Money” called it a harebrained idea doomed to fail. Saying it cost him his job. Maybe he should be running failed economies to fix them one by one. Even laymen can do a better job than current and past officials who wrecked them and ordinary households to pay bankers. More on Connolly’s book below. On November 17, New York Times writer Landon Thomas headlined, “Words of a Euro Doomsayer Have New Resonance,” saying: Eurozone countries are “c...
