What Is the Tipping Point? Everyday Authoritarianism in the US

NOVANEWS By Chuck Mertz "When you can't translate private troubles into larger public issues, you have no way of understanding the forces of oppression in which you find yourself. One of the great successes of neoliberalism has been to eliminate all questions of the structural, the social -- and how they work against people in ways that suggest that they should not be involved in collective action. It represents a form of organized powerlessness at the heart of neoliberalism." Cultural critic Henry Giroux explains how a new strain of authoritarianism has seized American politics and culture, injecting and celebrating violence and militarism into our media and economy, creating disposable scapegoats of the marginalized, and ultimately devaluing the cornerstones of democratic tho...

Conspiracy Theory in America

NOVANEWS By Lance deHaven-Smith  As an opener to our “9/11 – 15 years on” we’re sharing this extract from the book Conspiracy Theory in America by Lance deHaven Smith. Regardless of where we stand on the events of 9/11 we need to be aware of the intelligence-backed media campaign that lies behind the current social context of the phrase “conspiracy theory”. A Curious History The term “conspiracy theory” did not exist as a phrase in everyday American conversation before 1964. The conspiracy-theory label entered the American lexicon of political speech as a catchall for criticisms of the Warren Commission’s conclusion that President Kennedy was assassinated by a lone gunman with no assistance from, or foreknowledge by, any element of the United States government. Since then, the term’s pre...

Book: ` Texe Marrs- Judaism is not a Religion

NOVANEWS Judaism does not believe in God, says Texe Marrs in his new book Holy Serpent of the Jews.  You cannot pretend to be a religion without God. Neither atheism nor Satanism are religions. Jews and goyim alike have been hoodwinked by Judaism, a satanic cult masquerading as a religion. Texe says: "The ultimate goal of World Jewry [is] global domination, meaning sex, money, and power on an unparalleled scale."  If the world is turned upside down, they can be on top.  (Makow comment- God is the Moral Intelligence behind creation, synonymous with spiritual ideals like love, truth, goodness, justice and beauty. The point of religion is to discern and obey His Plan. Therefore, to say there is no God, or he is unknowable is half-way to Satanism. To usurp God's place, as Masonic Jewry is d...

Is Genocide a Controversial International Crime?

NOVANEWS by Dr: Richard Falk Why ‘Genocide’ is still a Controversial Crime? In this strikingly original, strange, and brilliant book, Philippe Sands raises a haunting question among a tangle of other intriguing issues discussed throughout East-West Street: On the Origins of Genocide and Crimes against Humanity (New York: Knopf, 2016). It is at once a plural biography (with a bit of autobiography thrown in), a jurisprudential fairy tale, and a searing account of the horrifying impact that vicious Nazi policies had on the lives of the author’s family members as well on those of his human rights heroes. The haunting question is this: was it a wise and practical decision to keep the crime of genocide from being part of the international criminal law framework used to assess the individual...

Karl Marx on Financial Bubbles: Much Keener Insights than Contemporary Economists

NOVANEWS By Prof. Ismael Hossein-Zadeh Global Research   While paying homage to Marx for his profound understanding of “the laws of motion of the capitalist mode of production,” most contemporary economists argue that, nonetheless, his economic analysis cannot be of much service when it comes to the study of modern banking and big finance, since these are relatively recent, post-Marx developments. I will argue in this essay that, in fact, a careful reading of his work on “fictitious capital” reveals keen insights into a better understanding of the instabilities of today’s financial markets [1]. It is true that his discussions of fictitious capital remained brief and fragmented. Nonetheless, what he wrote (in broad outlines) on the distinction between “money capital and real cap...

How culpable were Dutch Jews in the slave trade?

NOVANEWS By Cnaan Liphshiz and Iris Tzur Amsterdam musicians dressing up as Black Pete, the slave of the Dutch Santa Claus, Sinterklaas. (Cnaan Liphshiz) On a busy street near the Dutch Parliament, three white musicians in blackface regale passersby with holiday tunes about the Dutch Santa Claus, Sinterklaas, and his slave, Black Pete. Many native Dutchmen view dressing up as Black Pete in December as a venerable tradition, but others consider it a racist affront to victims of slavery. With Holland marking the 150th anniversary of abolition this year, the controversy over Black Pete has reached new heights. Hundreds demonstrated against the custom in Amsterdam last month, and more than 2 million signed a petition supporting it. Through it all, Dutch Jews — some of whom celebrate th...

The Dirty War on Syria: Professor Anderson Reveals the “Unspoken Truth”

NOVANEWS Posted by: Sammi Ibrahem,Sr By Prof. Tim Anderson Global Research The following texts are excerpts from the Preface of  Professor Tim Anderson’s timely and important book entitled The Dirty War on Syria. The E-book is available for purchase from Global Research  Although every war makes ample use of lies and deception, the dirty war on Syria has relied on a level of mass disinformation not seen in living memory. The British-Australian journalist Philip Knightley pointed out that war propaganda typically involves ‘a depressingly predictable pattern’ of demonising the enemy leader, then demonising the enemy people through atrocity stories, real or imagined (Knightley 2001). Accordingly, a mild-mannered eye doctor called Bashar al Assad became the new evil in the world a...

EARTH DAY

NOVANEWS Teresinka Pereira The earth is an enormous home, strong and renewable where our dreams and our utopia survive. The Earth is as recycled as we are, beings who live on the surface, underground, or in its cosmic space. Viva the Earth for the infinite treasure it gives us! We must have a special love for everybody's Earth and for the everyday Earth!

Academics call for boycott of genocide conference in ‘Israel’

NOVANEWS Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel | May 23, 2016 In a letter to the International Network of Genocide Scholars (INoGS), 270 academics from 19 countries have called for the cancellation of the 5th Global Conference on Genocide taking place on 26-29 June at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The letter sent to the organizers of the conference on the 3rd of May points at the hypocrisy of having the conference in Israel at a time when Israel’s actions are “increasingly being viewed through lenses of ethnic cleansing and genocide linked to settler colonialism”. The signatories call on scholars and professionals to boycott the conference should it go ahead. John Dugard, former UN Rapporteur for Human Rights in the OPT and a signatory to the lette...
