The University and Debt: Thinking About Neocolonialism in the United States

NOVANEWS By Paddy O'Halloran (Image: Jared Rodriguez / Truthout) The long-term experience for most university students in the United States is, arguably, less about learning than about debt. In the United States, total student debt in 2017 stands at $1.4 trillion. According to Bloomberg, 1 million former students default on their government loans each year. Yet the Trump administration and Department of Education headed by Betsy DeVos, move to weaken protections for student borrowers and support federal funding for the for-profit college industry, notorious for sinking students in debt. While many acknowledge student debt constitutes a crisis, no militant mass movement as seen in Germany, Chile or South Africa has emerged in the United States to challenge the deepening financial bur...

Earth as Weapon, Geo-engineering as War

NOVANEWS Book presentation and interpretation: “Planet Earth, the Latest Weapon of War” by Rosalie Bertell and its updated German version “Kriegswaffe Planet Erde” (3rd ed. 2016) By Prof. Claudia von Werlhof Global Research This book is a globally unique documentation by Dr. Rosalie Bertell. I think it is one of the most important books of the 21st century. In addition to the author’s original text from the year 2000 there are various updates by herself until 2011 and additional articles written by international experts. As the founder of the “Planetary Movement for Mother Earth” which was organized after having known Bertell’s work (2010) in order to distribute it always more, I have contributed to the book in various ways as well. We translated it and organized its publicati...

Capitalism Is Not the Only Choice

NOVANEWS By Penn Loh, YES! Magazine An increasing number of worker co-operatives are challenging capitalism and gender oppression by creating new ways of navigating the economy. (Photo: Blend Images - Hill Street Studios / Getty Images). Since the breakup of the Soviet bloc and China's turn toward free markets, many economists have pronounced an "end of history," where capitalism reigns supreme as the ultimate form of economy. Perhaps "there is no alternative" to a globalized neoliberal economy, as former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher often said. Indeed, free markets in which individuals compete to get what they can while they can are glorified in popular culture through reality shows such as Shark Tank. But many of us in the 99 percent are not feeling so happy or sec...

Introduction to new series Setting the Record Straight

NOVANEWS The revolutions in Paris in 1871, in Russia in 1917 (to mid-1950s), and in China in 1949 (to 1976)—were all great historic breakthroughs. Hundreds of millions rose up and gained precious experience as to what it would take to get to a world without exploitation, without oppression, without destructive violent clashes among humans, without enforced ignorance and superstition. These first attempts to emancipate humanity were defeated. History is being written by the victors—the imperialists. The oppressors issue endless lies on what “the wretched of the earth” were trying to do, what brutal forces lined up against these heroic attempts, and why there were limitations and even secondary errors in their theory and practice. Bob Avakian (BA) has not only defended these pathbreaking...

Changing the “War No More” Sentiment of Armistice Day to the War-Glorifying Propaganda of Veterans Day

By Dr. Gary G. Kohls Global Research, November 12, 2017 Region: Europe, USA Theme: History 3 1 0 4 99 years ago, on 11-11-1918, at precisely 11 am Paris time, a cease-fire (aka “truce” or “armistice”) was agreed to and signed by military negotiators from France, Britain and Germany. The terms of the truce ultimately resulted in the end of the “War to End All Wars” 7 months later when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919. Germany’s surrender to the Allies was regarded as the prudent thing to do after Kaiser Wilhelm’s tyrannical monarchy was overthrown by democratic socialist forces earlier in 1918. Erich Ludendorf, a classic example of Prussian militarism, was one of the German generals who first broached the idea of starting the negotia...

Big Picture of Global Politics, Change We Must to Live Again

NOVANEWS By: Steve Robertson The Freedom Series by Steve Robertson The Freedom Series of articles are intended to bring light to the manipulative control of the secret Cabal (Khazarian Mafia, New World Order or Deep State) who mean to enslave humanity for the purposes of greed, profit and egotistical/evil power. In the first article “PUPPET MASTERS OF MEDIA PROPAGANDA” I exposed one of the greatest known masterminds of media propaganda and tactical deceptions, Dr. Edward L. Bernays. He was considered the founding Father of Public Relations and was also the nephew of famed psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud. I spend an afternoon with him one day picking his brain about how to create campaigns for world peace…that was before I was aware of who he had worked for. Edward Bernays clearly w...

Joyful Tax Havens, Offshore Banking and the “Paradise Papers”

NOVANEWS By Dr. Binoy Kampmark Global Research This was another case of the big and the powerful undercutting the tax systems of the world. But could anyone be genuinely surprised at the revelations to come out of the Paradise Papers on the workings of the tax haven industry? Of the 13.4 million files revealed by the Süddeutsche Zeitung, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and some 90 global media partners, 6.8 million stem from the offshore law firm Appleby. A further half million derive from the Asiaciti Trust based in Singapore, with six million obtained from corporate registries spanning 19 tax havens.[1] This is a field where denial is followed by qualification, and then, ultimately, a dismissive shrug. Nothing exemplifies this more than the dispute...
