PETRAEUS PRAISES PAKISTAN

NOVANEWS ISLAMABAD — Gen. David Petraeus lauded Pakistan’s efforts at battling Islamist militants during his first visit here since taking over as top NATO commander in neighboring Afghanistan this month. But he avoided public mention of the complicated tug of war between the countries over the presence in Pakistan’s border regions of militants launching attacks against NATO troops in Afghanistan. Pakistan is embroiled in military operations against Pakistani Taliban fighters in its volatile northwest. One of Petraeus’ main challenges as NATO commander will be to try to persuade its leaders to also turn their sights toward Afghan Taliban based in their country’s semiautonomous tribal areas. Pakistan has been wracked by deadly attacks in the past two weeks that have killed nearly 150 people...

AN AMERICAN 'TERRORIST' IN LONDON

NOVANEWS Welcome to Orwell’s ‘1984’ ladies and gentlemen, where black is white, white is black, and the truth is nothing but a word. My 1984 reality is culminating with the United States and Israeli Governments treating me and/or charging me with being a “terrorist”. Americans worry not, you can sleep better at night knowing your “homeland” is being defended from the likes of me. And Israel, rest easy as well, it’s Ken O’Keefe and his Arab collaborators who are in the Mossad crosshairs. All kidding aside, I am a family man, with a beautiful family, a loving wife and baby boy, a boy who will be the biggest victim if his father is no longer in his life. How did I get here? Well my life is an open book, and one chapter includes meeting with people who resist war and occupation, but the idea t...

NAZI'S WAR CRIMES IN GAZA & ZIONIST FIFTH COLUMN IN AMERICA

NOVANEWS Published by the United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict, and better known by the name of its head, as the “Goldstone Report” was a major breakthrough in three senses.   In the first place the Report was the most systematic, detailed study of Israeli violations of international law in its wars against the Palestinian people. Secondly it caught the attention of the broadest sections of world opinion and ignited a firestorm of disapproval of Israel from almost all of the worlds’ leaders. On the negative side the publication of the Report and the vehement rejection by all of the mainstream American Jewish Organizations, revealed their utterly craven disregard for human rights on the one hand and their absolute power and control over Washington’s policy toward the Mid...

4th OF JULY AMERICA DECLARE IT'S INDEPENDENCE

NOVANEWS We declared ourselves free from those who would govern us based on what we could be deceived to believe. A generation weaned on the Age of Enlightenment insisted on government under the rule of law. And governance based on facts, not beliefs. How’s that working out? Remember Iraqi WMD? Iraqi ties to Al Qaeda? Iraq’s yellowcake uranium from Niger? Iraqi meetings in Prague? Iraqi mobile biological weapons laboratories? All those facts are now known to be false. Yet Americans were deceived to do what? Believe. Ground Zero of the True Believers was Washington, DC where those sworn to protect us instead took us to war in Iraq—relying on false beliefs. If waging war on false beliefs is not proof certain of a Dark Age, what is? It gets even better. Do you believe money is smarter than pe...

VETERANS TODAY: LIFT THE ZIO=NAZI BLOCKADE OF GAZA NOW!

NOVANEWS Amnesty International is deeply concerned that it appears that Israeli armed forces may have used excessive force the morning of May 31, 2010 when entering boats protesting the Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip. Israel’s military blockade of Gaza has left more than 1.4 million Palestinian men, women and children trapped in the Gaza Strip. Mass unemployment, extreme poverty and food price rises caused by shortages have left four in five Gazans dependent on humanitarian aid. As a form of collective punishment, Israel’s continuing blockade of Gaza is a flagrant violation of international law. Petition Text Lift the Blockade of Gaza Greetings, I am writing on behalf of Amnesty International USA with deep concern about the killing by Israeli armed forces of nine activists on ships pro...

MUNICH & THE FIVE 9/11'S

NOVANEWS WHY REMEMBERING ELEVEN DEAD MAKES US ALL LESS HUMAN By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor As much as Israel tries to remind the world, few remember much of the 1972 Olympics, even the killing of eleven Israeli athletes.  Five of the attackers died, depending on whose news you watch they were either terrorists or freedom fighters.  We use those terms so interchangeably nowadays.  One German police officer died.  This is news again today because Abu Dauod of the Fatah Party, reputed by some as the mastermind behind the attack, died yesterday at age 73.  The eulogy by Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, a moderate always welcome in Tel Aviv and Washington, honored Dauod for a lifetime of sacrifice.  I would never have known of the death nor the eulogy were it not for the Israeli na...

THE PROMISE OF AMERICA

NOVANEWS BY: MICHAEL LEON We are what we work for. We don’t have to be an empire, an oligarchy, a sick partner with Israel. From Consortiumnews: By David Swanson Editor’s Note: As the American Left has slid toward political irrelevance – lacking media and other crucial elements of a modern movement – the battle over America’s future is increasingly fought between a “mainstream” that favors Empire and a libertarian Right that opposes Empire but insists on a brutal laissez-faire economic model. Some on the American Left have even thought of becoming junior partners to the far-right Tea Party because of the common ground of anti-imperialism, a dilemma that is addressed by anti-war activist David Swanson in this commentary on a new book by right-wing intellectual Bruce Fein: Bruce Fein con...

SURROGATE WARFARE, KILLING AMERICANS FOR FUN AND PROFIT

NOVANEWS THE MYTH OF DEMOCRACY, GOVERNMENT BY ORGANIZED CRIME By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor July 4th, Independence Day to Americans is coming up, our 234th.  This is one of a series of patriotic holidays that, though we don’t admit it, are slowly slipping away, Veterans Day also called Remembrance Day or Armistice Day and Memorial Day among them.  We have others but they have long since faded into long weekends for government employees.  The story is the same, parades to remember the dead, the disabled and the veterans, now almost all seen as damaged goods, a burden on society, same story war after war.  Wars have never been what we say they are.  As time goes on we learn that more and more.  Even the cleanest war of all, World War II is falling apart, our propaganda slowly bei...

THE BLACK PANTHER CASE IS GROWING LEGS

NOVANEWS by Jeff Davis It looks like this might be the first official Obama Scandal to “grow legs” as journalists say. The story has gone viral and simply will not go away. Fox News reports: “In emotional and personal testimony, an ex-Justice official who quit over the handling of a voter intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party accused his former employer of instructing attorneys in the civil rights division to ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims. J. Christian Adams, testifying Tuesday before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, said that over and over and over again, the department showed hostility toward those cases. He described the Black Panther case as one example of that — he defended the legitimacy of the suit and said his blood boiled when he ...
