Michel Chossudovsky: “NATO-EXIT”

NOVANEWS By Prof Michel Chossudovsky 70 years ago NATO was born. In April 1949, The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) established what was designated as the doctrine of “Collective Security” under Art. 5 of the Washington Treaty. NATO has a sordid history of aggression and war crimes.  The US not only continues to “occupy” World War II “axis countries” (Italy, Germany), it has used the NATO emblem to install US military bases throughout Western Europe, as well as in Eastern Europe in the wake of the Cold War, extending into the Balkans in the wake of NATO’s war on Yugoslavia. NATO is a criminal entity, an instrument of the Pentagon. There is no “Alliance”. There is military Occupation. What is required is a vast movement in Europe and North America in support of NATO-Exit...

Top 10 Reasons Not to Love NATO

NOVANEWS By David Swanson   The New York Times loves NATO, but should you? Judging by comments in social media and the real world, millions of people in the United States have gone from having little or no opinion on NATO, or from opposing NATO as the world’s biggest military force responsible for disastrous wars in places like Afghanistan (for Democrats) or Libya (for Republicans), to believing NATO to be a tremendous force for good in the world. I believe this notion to be propped up by a series of misconceptions that stand in dire need of correction. 1. NATO is not a war-legalizing body, quite the opposite. NATO, like the United Nations, is an international institution that has something or other to do with war, but transferring the UN’s claimed authority to legalize a war ...

Europe Died When NATO Illegally Ripped Out Serbia's Heart in 1999

NOVANEWS Europe Died When NATO Illegally Ripped Out Serbia's Heart in 1999 - Top French Military Commander Colonel Jacques Hogard  Conference: "KOSOVO AND METOHIJA –EUROPEAN  CASE  OF  VIOLENT  SECESSION" Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to be here today at the invitation of the Center for Geostrategic Studies in Belgrade, here in the European Parliament. As a senior French officer, I served in Macedonia and then in Kosovo in the first half of 1999. When I was assigned to the French Special Operations Command, I was appointed as the head of the joint special forces group that intervened before the French KFOR Brigade’s deployment under the command of NATO. It is for this reason that I am speaking today, having published a few years ago a book with a deliberately provocative title...

Latest Odds of a Shooting War Between NATO and Russia

NOVANEWS Hungarian scholar George Szamuely tells Ann Garrison that he sees a 70 percent chance of combat between NATO and Russia following the incident in the Kerch Strait and that it is being fueled by Russia-gate. An Interview with George Szamuely by Ann Garrison Special to Consortium News  George Szamuely is a Hungarian-born scholar and Senior Research Fellow at London’s Global Policy Institute. He lives in New York City. I spoke to him about escalating hostilities on Russia’s Ukrainian and Black Sea borders and about Exercise Trident Juncture, NATO’s massive military exercise on Russian borders which ended just as the latest hostilities began. Ann Garrison: George, the hostilities between Ukraine, NATO, and Russia continue to escalate in the Sea of Azov, the Kerch Strait, and the Bl...

THE UNMAKING OF LIBYA & NATO’S UNABASHED HUBRIS

NOVANEWS Alexander Azadgan Western politicians and of course the deceitful, manipulative, mainstream media have been shamelessly calling Libya a “failed state”. A FAILED STATE?! Who made it a “failed state”? Can we have some academic and historical integrity here or is that too much to ask in these decrepit times that we live in where monsters are in charge? I digress. The unmaking of Libya will be a case study for all future students of geopolitics. Libya was the most prosperous and successful nation in Africa. So bold that towards the end of his tenure, Muammar Gaddafi, not exactly a saint by any stretch of imagination, was openly proposing an Africa-wide unified currency called, “The Golden Dinar” to challenge the hegemony of the petrodollar system. And that was the ...

NATO Suffers Embarrassing Defeat in Macedonia, Running Roughshod Over People Power Is Next

NOVANEWS Macedonia can't join NATO under its constitutional name so NATO wants it to rename itself. In a country where 25 percent are ethnic Albanians (who don't care about the name Macedonia in the first place) just some 35 percent signaled agreement with the scheme, yet with Western encouragement the local left-wing government is signaling it will plow ahead with a new name With western backing the Macedonians Quislings stooped so low that their referendum question was: "Are you in favour of European Union and NATO membership by accepting the agreement between the Republic of Macedonia and the Republic of Greece?" Aleksandar Pavic  Although the September 30, 2018 name-change referendum in Macedonia, which was supposed to set that ex-Yugoslav federal republic on a path to (cer...

Seven Years after NATO Overthrew Gaddafi in Libya

NOVANEWS Seven Years after NATO Overthrew Gaddafi in Libya, Western-Backed Gov Begs for Another Intervention The current situation in Libya and the GNA’s recent plea should serve as a cautionary tale regarding the inefficacy of NATO-backed and UN-backed regime-change operations, which have left nothing but chaos and failed states in their wake. Smoke rises from a home destroyed by an airstrike as Libyan fighters from the U.N.-backed GNA advance into Sirte, Libya, October 14, 2016. Photo | Reuters By Whitney Webb Whitney Webb  TRIPOLI, LIBYA — A month of violent in-fighting in Libya’s capital has prompted the “official” government of Libya to call for UN intervention, just seven years after the 2011 NATO intervention laid waste to the country and plunged it into a state of cha...

NATO Repeats the Great Mistake of the Warsaw Pact

NOVANEWS NATO expansion continues to drive the world the closer towards the threat of thermonuclear war. By: Martin Sieff Authored by Martin Sieff via The Strategic Culture Foundation: Through the 1990s, during the terms of US President Bill Clinton, NATO relentlessly and inexorably expanded through Central Europe. Today, the expansion of that alliance eastward – encircling Russia with fiercely Russo-phobic regimes in one tiny country after another and in Ukraine, which is not tiny at all – continues. This NATO expansion – which the legendary George Kennan presciently warned against in vain – continues to drive the world the closer towards the threat of thermonuclear war. Far from bringing the United States and the Western NATO allies increased security, it strips them...

Moscow aware of NATO’s plans to attack Russia

NOVANEWS Russian Foreign Affairs Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the Russian administration was aware of the plans of Russia's potential enemies to start a war against the Russian Federation. By Dmitry Sudakov “Our awareness of what plans the US and other Western countries’ militaries are nursing in relation to the Russian Federation is guaranteed,” Lavrov said during the “Territory of Meanings” youth forum. The minister also said that Russia’s military presence in the worldensures the nation’s security and defense capability. Despite recent changes in the global agenda, Russian citizens will be protected accordingly, he added. Lavrov’s remarks on the subject were not incidental. NATO regularly conducts exercises near Russian borders, especially in the Baltic countries....
