Book: Lifting the Veil

NOVANEWS Dear friends, The free, online book Lifting the Veil is far and above the best summary I've ever seen of all that is going on in our world. Author Timothy Silver masterfully takes us behind the scenes to learn about the hidden forces which dramatically shape world politics and ultimately affect the lives of every one of us. With over 500 footnotes linking directly to reliable sources to verify all that is stated, this amazing piece of excellent research ties together many key threads that the media have failed to cover. It dives deep beneath the surface of historical events to show us the motivating forces and corrupt, elite interest groups which have successfully manipulated world events in a way that rarely gets reported in history books. Knowledge is power. The more kno...

CHRISTMAS, 2015

As much as we have a memory, we go gathering one Christmas after the other chaining souvenirs of what is so good in life: family, friends, the love which unites us and the happiness the presence of each one brings in celebration of the holiday season.

Why my books are not published in I$raHell

NOVANEWS By: Susan Abulhawa Over a year ago, in June 2014, I was offered a contract by an Israeli publishing house for both Mornings in Jenin and The Blue Between Sky and Water. As a firm supporter of both the economic and cultural boycotts of Israel, I refused. I did not make my decision public at the time, but had planned to write about it eventually. Then time passed too quickly, as time tends to do. So rather than write an essay, I’ll just share the full correspondence here. My decision and reasons for it are evident. I decided to redact names, because they’re not really relevant. The offer came to me via my agent. The following is the relevant portion of my response to her: As for Israeli publishers, that is not an option. When we Palestinians are free to live in [our] o...

Gerry Spence on America Menaced by Impending Police State

NOVANEWS by Dr: Richard Falk [Prefatory Note: I am posting some reflections on Gerry Spence’sPolice State, an ominous book, finely wrought, that we should all read. Besides being my close friend, Gerry is a lawyer par excellence, as well as being someone possessed of deeply artistic, humanistic, and ethical disposition. The book pertains to the situation here in America, but as recent events in Paris, San Bernidino, and Colorado Springs confirm, we are in danger of moving without realizing it toward some kind of ‘global police state,’ all in the name of security, trampling on the rights and self-esteem of billions of people and extinguishing the freedom of all. Such a devastating scenario cannot be separated from the predatory features of global capitalism in its present neoliberal phas...

Domestic terrorism: SFPD firing-squad execution of Mario Woods

NOVANEWS By Nick Pardee Protesters gather after community town hall meeting in the Bayview. Photo: Mario Woods helpless and surrounded by SFPD firing-squad In 2004 Mario Woods made a short documentary film in which he examined “the lack of resources in Hunters Point and its contribution to the overwhelming amount of violence that is currently taking place.” Eleven years later, in the very same Bayview Hunter’s Point district of San Francisco, Woods was executed by a San Francisco Police Department firing-squad of at least five officers who shot dozens of rounds at him from a few feet away. Multiple videos of the murder have surfaced online and been shared widely. The killing has sparked justified outrage at a time when videos of murderous police terror have become commonplace in the m...

The Bible is NOT "The Word of God."

NOVANEWS BY AG The 'WORD' of God is not a book. Do people think that before there was even a sun, moon or stars, this book was flying in the Cosmos? The Word of God EXISTS but it is not a book, it cannot be written, spoken or heard by man --it can only be obtained through direct revelation. If you wish to truly search for the 'word' of God,' do so within. Search for the living Word of God which is, where Jesus told us it is, WITHIN US. The Word of God is what Saint John tells us clearly it is, without any obscurity. I do not understand who started this business of the 'book being the Word of God' - in that book, there are God inspired writings, writings added by Esdras a Jewish rabbi because of social and political interest of the Jews, and the Gospels that relate the 'words of God ...

Is The Diary of Anne Frank Genuine?

NOVANEWS By Robert Faurisson Is The Diary of Anne Frank genuine? For two years that question was included in the official syllabus “Text and Document Criticism,” a seminar reserved for degreed students in their fourth year. The conclusion of my studies and research is that The Diary of Anne Frank is a fraud. In order to study the question posed and to find an answer to it, I have carried out the following investigations: Internal criticism: the very text of the Diary (in Dutch) contains a number of unlikely or inconceivable facts. A study of the premises in Amsterdam: on the one hand, the physical impossibilities and, on the other hand, the explanations made up by Anne Frank’s father severely compromise him. Interview of the principal witness: Mr. Otto Frank. Bibliographical examin...

History of the California Blacks Nation Califians (Khalifians) The First Americans

NOVANEWS "...They manipulate our history books; the history books are not true; it's a lie.

Loewen in his best selling book “Lies My Teacher Told Me,” virtually none of the body of knowledge, as taught in school curricula and World History, has an ounce of truth. (Regarding the American Holiday: Thanksgiving) The idea that Europeans brought civilization to America flips the truth on its head. Here is what an expedition of European explorers actually found upon their arrival to North American in 1580. Read through to the en...
