Transcending Tribal Mentality: Great Essay on Breaking Free of Old Ways of Thinking

NOVANEWS All of us are born into a "tribal mentality" of various forms. These include our family unit, religious background, country of origin, ethnicity, etc. The tribal mentality effectively indoctrinates an individual into the tribe's beliefs, ensuring that all believe the same. The structure of reality – what is and is not possible for the members of the group – is thus agreed upon and maintained by the tribe. While the tribal mentality has definite benefits in terms of establishing common ground and ensuring group survival, it is not a conscious agreement. We are born into it. Yet at a certain stage, both personally and collectively, the tribal mentality must be challenged. People can then begin to recognize the need for a personalhonor code independent of the tribe. If humanity is...

BRANCHES

NOVANEWS Dr: Teresinka Pereira From the earth to the branches of the trees we climb, poor human race, after we have descend from them by the primate long arms. Then we look at the sky with our beating hearts thinking that maybe we can climb beyond the branches without wings, long arms or flying machines... Today we do not believe it, maybe tomorrow... but yesterday we have denied it was possible to get to the infinite... However, the branches stop there, in the genesis of the trees...

SADNESS IN THE WORLD

NOVANEWS Dr: Teresinka Pereira Our throats shout with fear of plagues, of wars, of religions. But it has been always like that. What changed are the news on TV, on Ipad, from mouth to mouth, which go from one end to the other of the continents and spike in our minds. Is there a way to restore joy in this world?

Seeing through the Deceptions: The Truth about War

NOVANEWS By Global Research Global Research Mainstream media consistently distributes disinformation to push the war agendas of the very institutions of power that keep them on the air. Time and again, we have seen how deceptive reports have sent the West headlong into yet another conflict: Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria… the list is long and growing. Many media portals exist proclaiming to have real, legitimate news, but unless they are 100% independent it becomes difficult to know to what extent their newscasts are imbued with spin. In battling this onslaught of disinformation, the Global Research website remains completely independent: no funding from governments, foundations or institutions. It exists solely on account of the contribution of its readership. As Graem...

Book: An Inconvenient Genocide: Who Now Remembers the Armenians?

NOVANEWS by Geoffrey Robertson The most controversial issue still arising from the First World War – was there an Armenian Genocide? The most controversial issue left over from the First World War – was there an Armenian Genocide? – comes to a head on 24 April 2015, when Armenians throughout the world commemorate the centenary of the murder of 1.5 million – over half – of their people, at the hands of the Ottoman Turkish government. Turkey continues to deny it ever happened – or if it did, that the killings were justified. This has become a vital international issue. Twenty national parliaments have voted to recognise the genocide, but Britain equivocates and President Obama is torn between Congress, which wants recognition, and the US military, afraid of alienating an important NA...

…but, my hand…

NOVANEWS Dr: Teresinka Pereira I am tired of reading, of thinking... but my hand goes on writing, desolate, bounded, insisting on communicating something sad, with pretended humbleness, an old complaint, a skeptical shame, hoping that at daybreak your eyes reach me at this sunny window and return at last, the love you owe me.

BROTHERHOOD

NOVANEWS Prof Teresinka Pereira In the darkness of destiny I am looking for a quest. In my verses, trip into a puzzle, I try to be humble, and give the perfect love raising my hands to reach everyone... Here I come, with all poets, looking for a time to make peace: our verses will erase the borders and will enter the countries, like the sea when if passes through obstacles to reach the sand... We come with hopes and raise our voices beyond the bells in the celebration day: we want to answer with words of hope for universal brotherhood and we will wish peace for the whole world.

The World Cannot Afford More Victims of War

NOVANEWS By Global Research Global Research It is known and documented that the US and its allies have been financing, training and arming rebel factions in Syria, including ISIS, with a view to topple Bashar Al-Assad. That strategy did not work and now we are told that ISIS must be defeated through bombing raids. This military intervention violates international law and Syria’s territorial sovereignty. The goal of Obama’s “War on Terror” is not to defeat ISIS, but to topple non-compliant regimes. In his Orwellian speech at the UN, Obama said: We must declare war on war, so the outcome will be peace upon peace. Wage war to create peace? The threat of a wide regional war in the Middle East is accompanied by ever more sensationalist lies by the mainstream media. The tensions ...
