NOVANEWS Aug 25, 2010 A former CIA officer accuses Israeli intelligence agency, the Mossad, of spying intensively on the United States for military and dual-use civilian technology. Philip Giraldi says Tel Aviv's claims of not spying in the US are only intended for the media. Giraldi says the Israeli lobby is so powerful that Washington cannot address Tel Aviv regarding the spying issue, which has been going on for many years. Thus the Mossad is spying in the US with impunity, he says. Relations between the United States and Israel have been damaged historically and repeatedly regarding several incidents of Israeli and Jewish spies. In 2008, the US arrested an American suspected of spying for Israel. Ben-Ami Kadish had given Israel secrets on nuclear weapons, fighter jets and missiles in ...

NOVANEWS “Intolerance” will Destroy America, World, not Terrorists, Nukes or Economic Woes August 24, 2010 by Terry Richards   In connection with building the Islamic Community Center near Ground Zero, as the sign says; “Groundless Hatred is the Real Enemy”… Webster defines “intolerance” as: 1. unable or unwilling to endure. 2. unwilling to grant equality, freedom, or other social rights: Bigoted. Had the 9/11 attacks been carried-out by extremists of the Catholic, Protestant, Baptist, Methodist or any other denomination of the Christian Religious Faith from the United States or any other Country, there would there be very little opposition, if any, to the building of a Community Center near Ground Zero for any of those Religions? On the other hand, had the 9/11 attacks been carried-out...

NOVANEWS ISRAELI CONTROL OF AMERICA: A VETERANS TODAY READER COMMENTS August 24, 2010  by Gordon Duff THE POWER OF TREASON   “A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the galleys, heard in the very hall of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor – he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and wears their face and their garment, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation – he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city – he inf...

NOVANEWS 9/11: READER COMMENT AT VETERANS TODAY DEBUNKS COVER STORY August 24, 2010  by Gordon Duff ANY PUBLICATION IS NO BETTER THAN ITS AUDIENCE By “EyesWideOpen” a reader at Veterans Today It’s refreshing to see there are so many people who “get it”– except maybe Steve. This was a great article and there are some really good comments here. I want to point out something I haven’t seen written about before regarding 9/11 and maybe it will cause some people who still don’t get it or refuse to examine the mountains of evidence pointing to 9/11 being an inside job to rethink their beliefs in the official story coming from our corporate government and their mouthpiece media. Since there are so many vets here who I assume would understand attack strategies I thought this would be the plac...

NOVANEWS   August 25, 2010 My reason for writing the post, Imagine you’re a British neofascist, was to convey the political absurdity of the Guardian's original photograph. The implied meaning of the photo was to connect the EDL with the Zio=Nazi regime of 'Israel'. It was to imply, in a subtle fashion, that Zionist's could be EDL thugs too, that was the message coming from the Guardian. This was not the first time that I have run across this argument.  However, let us step back and be clear that the EDL leadership are made up of Neo-Nazis and their allies. We know this from circumstantial evidence, video footage, the publication of EDL events on neo-Nazi bulletin boards and above all from the statements of the one-time founder of the EDL, Paul Ray. Ray admits that Neo-...

NOVANEWS Tell FOX to disclose the $1 million contribution to Republicans. Where's the disclaimer? Clicking here will add your name to this petition to News Corp CEO Rupert Murdoch and FOX News President Roger Ailes: Americans depend on objective reporting of the news — especially during election season. But News Corp's $1 million contribution to the Republican Governors Association makes FOX a deeply partisan observer in the reporting of the 2010 gubernatorial elections. Americans deserve to know about your direct involvement in this campaign. You must disclose News Corp's political contribution during your gubernatorial election coverage.

NOVANEWS   Im Tirzu becomes a right-wing liability (and sparks a neocon-theocon proxy war?) Didi Remez | August 24, 2010Categories: Christian Zionism, Foreign Funding of Israeli Right, Israeli Neoconservatism | URL: http://wp.me/pHlQV-I3   Ronen Shoval, Im Tirzu Chairman Im Tirzu apparently overplayed its hand when it went after Ben Gurion University (BGU). Even the usually timid heads of the Israeli academe felt they had to react: Their institutions were under threat. One by one they gave interviews and published op-eds. As Hebrew University's Avner de-Shalit writes in this morning's Haaretz, these students had simply gone too far: But now the cat is out of the bag. Im Tirtzu is no longer calling for changes in curriculum content; it is waging an ugly political battle ...

NOVANEWS August 22, 2010  by Michael Leon   New York City Mayor Bloomberg supporting the mosque project - So virulent is the Islamophobic hysteria of the neocon and Fox News right — abetted by the useful idiocy of the Anti-Defamation League, Harry Reid and other cowed Democrats — that it has also rendered Gen. David Petraeus’s last-ditch counterinsurgency strategy for fighting the war inoperative. How do you win Muslim hearts and minds in Kandahar when you are calling Muslims every filthy name in the book in New York? - By Frank Rich in the NYT - Excerpt: THE “ground zero mosque,” as you may well know by now, is not at ground zero. It’s not a mosque but an Islamic cultural center containing a prayer room. It’s not going to determine President Obama’s political future or the elections of ...

NOVANEWS August 22, 2010  by Michael Leon   Human Rights By Asif Haroon Raja The US has earned the dubious reputation of pursuing double standards and making unsubstantiated allegations against a country which it wants to browbeat. These unholy tactics are applicable to friends and foes alike except for Israel , India and western world. Ironic part of the story is that it doesn’t feel an iota of embarrassment in leveling accusations on aspects which are applicable to the US , Israel and India the most.   Pakistan ’s brilliant success in Malakand and Swat operations in May-June 2009 was applauded by all and sundry including USA , but in actuality the outcome was not to the liking of Indo-US-Israeli nexus. The trio had expected the Army getting irretrievably bogged down since huge supplies...
