Book: The Globalization of Poverty: Deconstructing the New World Order

NOVANEWS By Prof Michel Chossudovsky Global Research In these unprecedented economic times, the world is experiencing as a whole what most of the non-industrialized world has experienced over the past several decades. For a nuanced examination of the intricacies of the global political-economic landscape and the power players within it, pick up your copy of: The Globalization of Poverty and the New World Order by Michel Chossudovsky Michel Chossudovsky takes the reader through an examination of how the World Bank and IMF have been the greatest purveyors of poverty around the world, despite their rhetorical claims to the opposite. These institutions, representing the powerful Western nations and the financial interests that dominate them, spread social apartheid around the world, explo...

FEAR

NOVANEWS Dr: Teresinka Pereira   Lies arriving from all places coming to the water surface like bodies of decapitated men, opening the way to justify the cruelty done in name of old and new religions which inspire terrorism. It is a provocation for a new and modern Inquisition, and personal tragedies, negative passions, while fear spreads around like fire in a dry forest.

Was World War I the error of modern history? ”VIDEO”

NOVANEWS Oxford historian Niall Ferguson talks about the real motives for war. His book, "The Pity of War" concludes that World War I was unnecessary. In the US, World War I led DIRECTLY to: - The IRS and the taxing of personal income (there had never been a tax on personal income in the US before) - The Federal Reserve (The third attempt to create a central bank in the US and the first attempt in the 20th century) - The Pentagon and the explosive expenses of a 'standing army' - The draft (the second one in US history, the first being the Civil War) - The invention of modern propaganda. In Europe, the slaughter during World War I was unprecedented making the extreme excesses and violence of the 1930s and the Second World War possible. - See more at: http://www.brasschecktv.com/videos/wa...

How historian Shlomo Sand “stopped being a Jew”

NOVANEWS Rod Such 140912-sand.jpg “Is not the very fact of defining oneself as a Jew within the State of Israel an act of affiliation to a privileged caste which creates intolerable injustices around itself?” the Israeli historian Shlomo Sand asks, and in turn answers in the affirmative in the very title of his latest book, How I Stopped Being a Jew. Sand is speaking as a secular Israeli Jew, an atheist, who ultimately rejects the idea that he belongs to a certain ethnos simply by virtue of matrilineal descent. The bulk of the book is devoted to how he came to this conclusion — but as to why, that story is relatively simple. His epiphany began inside Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv when he witnessed a Palestinian citizen of Israel being escorted away by security agents while he b...

Book: “The Pathology of Power” The forgotten history of the munition industry – See more at: http://www.brasschecktv.com/videos/war-is-a-racket-1/the-pathology-of-power.html#sthash.4BsgqO3O.dpuf

NOVANEWS This video gets off to a slow start, but give it a minute or two. Interesting story about Cousins... He wrote a massively important book in 1987 called "The Pathology of Power." Interestingly, it fell off the map, but the news media went into overdrive promoting his less important books. One of the great lessons of this book: After World War I when the world was sick to death of war, the munitions makers got together to make sure that big wars continued. They organized to buy Congress and the media and they made sure that the war mentality was THE mentality. Some gems: "War is a double suicide." "The fleecing of the American people in the name of security" "Under the name of security, our security is threatened." "What makes you think that the people who can't be trusted wit...

The Pacification That Never Ends

NOVANEWS The Jihadis Return by RON JACOBS The sense of déjà vu in Iraq is not imaginary. With US bombers attacking positions held by Sunni militants and a client Iraqi government apparently unable to fight on its own, the detritus of the US invasion and occupation of Iraq is creating what could end up being the third phase of direct US involvement in at the bloody sinkhole it did plenty to create. The air strikes and special operations undertaken by the US have a greater likelihood of dragging the US further into this war than they do of furthering a long term solution. The Islamic State (IS) fighters are the progeny of Washington’s bloody mischief in the region. They are even using weapons provided by the CIA to rebel forces in Syria, of which IS is but one element. Like Afghanistan’...

Gates on Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War

NOVANEWS From the former secretary of defense, a strikingly candid, vividly written account of his experience serving Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Before Robert M. Gates received a call from the White House in 2006, he thought he’d left Washington politics behind: after working for six presidents in both the CIA and the National Security Council, he was happy in his role as president of Texas A&M University. But when he was asked to help a nation mired in two wars and to aid the troops doing the fighting, he answered what he felt was the call of duty. Now, in this unsparing memoir, meticulously fair in its assessments, he takes us behind the scenes of his nearly five years as a secretary at war: the battles with Congress, the ...

The Global Economic Crisis, The Great Depression of the XXI Century.

NOVANEWS By Prof Michel Chossudovsky Global Research The following text is an excerpt of the Preface of The Global Economic Crisis. The Great Depression of the XXI Century, Montreal, Global Research, 2010. Click here to buy the book! In all major regions of the world, the economic recession is deep-seated, resulting in mass unemployment, the collapse of state social programs and the impoverishment of millions of people. The economic crisis is accompanied by a worldwide process of militarization, a “war without borders” led by the United States of America and its NATO allies. The conduct of the Pentagon’s “long war” is intimately related to the restructuring of the global economy. We are not dealing with a narrowly defined economic crisis or recession. The global financial architec...

Yes, books are banned in the US But it’s done with craft, not by burning ”VIDEO”

NOVANEWS     http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=RcHRaxN-u5U#t=623             Yes, you can say just about anything in the US and nothing will happen to you. (Unless you're a journalist who gets too close to the truth about a truly powerful person. Then you risk you career and in some cases your life - but that's a different story.) But the fact is books do get banned in the US. Yes, you can find them and they are not thrown into bonfires in the middle of the night by jackbooted thugs, but worthy and important books go "missing" all the time. In this bit you'll see how and why. - See more at: http://www.brasschecktv.com/videos/spin-1/yes-books-are-banned-in-the-us.html#sthash.4nvh5sbk.dpuf
