Book: An Antidote to Disinformation about North Korea

NOVANEWS Posted by: Sammi Ibrahem, Sr Book Review; North Korea: Another Country, By Bruce Cumings, The New Press, 2004 By Al Olson Global Research This Review was published nine years ago on GR.  Bruce Cumings, a history professor at the University of Chicago and a former Peace Corps volunteer in South Korea, has given us a badly needed antidote to the lies and disinformation about the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (North Korea) being spread by the media and the Bush administration. The author has observed “the deafening absence of any contrary argument” and cuts through this smokescreen of ignorance in his well-researched historical study of North Korea. Cumings directs his book to “the reader who wishes to learn about our eternal Korean enemy.” He believes that North Ko...

Charles Bowden on Writing ”VIDEO”

NOVANEWS Posted by: Sammi Ibrahem, Sr To speak for those who can't Charles Bowden passed away this year at the age of 69. He wrote about drug wars, immigration, and Mexico. "His best-known book, “Down by the River: Drugs, Money, Murder and Family,” published in 2002, is a blend of biography, history, narrative journalism and essayistic expression that spins outward from a single, seemingly unremarkable crime along the Rio Grande: the murder of a man who had no apparent involvement in the border conflict but turns out to have been the brother of an official at the Drug Enforcement Agency."     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ollB5EQggg#t=95   Charles BowdenBooks Murder City: Ciudad Juárez and the Global Economy's New Killing Fields 2010 Down ...

FULL MOON

NOVANEWS Dr: Teresinka Pereira   We are poor human beings who depend on nature from which we came and are an integral part. We are fragile in the immense universe. We look at the full moon for inspiration as poets and we have to surrender to the harmful vibrations and emotional torments it brings, hoping that they will pass away like the moon in front of the sun. We all will pass away as do good or bad weather.

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING: Capitalism vs the Climate

NOVANEWS by NAOMI KLEIN “If the news that in the past 40 years the world has lost over 50 per cent of its vertebrate wildlife fails to tell us there is something wrong with the way we live,” British journalist George Monbiot wrote recently, “it’s hard to imagine what could.” The culture of uncontrolled production is the mantra of our age. “We care ever less for the possessions we buy, and dispose of them ever more quickly,” he argued. It’s a key point throughout Naomi Klein’s new book, already a bestseller in America. Following her era-defining works, No Logo and The Shock Doctrine, Klein examines in exhaustive detail the politics, ethics and realities around climate change. She shows how the Western power elites remain in denial about the extent of the problem because it suits their econ...

BOOK REVIEW : ‘This Time We Went Too Far’ by Norman Finkelstein

NOVANEWS Special for My Catbird Seat “The Gaza invasion marked the climax of Israel’s descent into barbarism” by Stuart Littlewood Quite simply, this is a cracker of a book and very timely. In explaining how Israel’s war on Gaza in 2008/9 was not the defensive action it is always painted, Norman Finkelstein recalls the 1947 UN partition of historic Palestine and remembers how, in 1957, US President Eisenhower forced Israel to withdraw from Gaza by threatening sanctions and in the 1967 war Israel re-occupied it. The book then takes us through the warm-up for the 2008/9 war and the subsequent whitewash. In the three years following Israel’s withdrawal to Gaza’s perimeter in 2005, we are reminded that about 1,250 Gazans, including 222 children, were killed by the Israeli army while 11 I...

BOOK REVIEW: Alan Hart : ZIONISM, THE REAL ENEMY OF THE JEWS

NOVANEWS MY CATBIRD SEAT Editor's note: The Jewish people, for the most part, ignore and do not want to hear the truth or the facts about their own “history,” Israeli “history,” and the story of the “wars,” that are being fought in their name against the Palestinians whose country has been invaded and is being taken over, piece by piece,using massive and relentless force, all the while justifying it with lies, provocation and deceit. They turn from the truth, and refuse to question, look or listen, out of fear. Alan Hart’s epic three-volume — Zionism the Real Enemy of the Jews is a journey through the propaganda lies and the documented truth of history as it relates to the making and sustaining of what has come to be called the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. He blogs at  AlanHart.net, ...
