The Truth War Is Being Lost to a Global Censorship Apparatus Called Google

NOVANEWS By Graham Vanbergen TruePublica We are fast approaching the time where the informational war being waged between the establishment (specifically the vested interests of the rich and powerful) and the independent news outlet is rapidly heading towards its final showdown. Personally, although somewhat defeatist, I think this battle is already lost, it is simply a matter of time. The supposed defenders of free speech, that is the political establishment and their billionaire media cronies have taken sides and this is becoming more evident every day. Today, the mainstream media has a self-inflicted credibility problem. In 2006, about 65 percent of the general public believed what they read in British newspapers in and in little more than ten years this high level of trus...

The bal masque is the ideal vehicle for this program, because the World Order gained its present power in Europe of the nineteenth century. It is a truism among the old European aristocracy that “Bal...

Naomi Klein on Jeremy Corbyn, Bernie Sanders and Youth-Led Grassroots Progressive Insurgencies

NOVANEWS By Amy Goodman and Juan González Over the weekend, more than 4,000 people gathered for the People's Summit in Chicago.

Re-Launching the Caribbean’s New World Journal

NOVANEWS By: Amílcar Sanatan Thousands converged on Port-of-Spain to protest, Trinidad and Tobago, 1970. | Photo: Embau Moheni / NJAC The New World Quarterly and the intellectual developments that followed the journal left an indelible mark on Caribbean intellectual thought. The Caribbean and the developing world were places of high intellectual and political excitement by the late 1950s. Political leadership in the Caribbean was occupied by the likes of Norman Manley, Eric Williams, Cheddi Jagan and others. RELATED: 20 Years After His Death, Jamaica's Former PM Manley Speaks Again The debate of the British West Indies Federation initiated a popular conversation on “West Indian nationhood.” Intellectually, CLR James from Trinidad and Tobago emerged as a major Marxi...

What does it take to move from pseudo-democracy to real participation?

NOVANEWS By Graham Peebles Imagine a country run along truly democratic lines. In such a mythical land, what would be the role of the politician, and the nature of his or her relationship with that amorphous group paraded under the banner of “the people”? Will of “the people”? We in pseudo-democratic countries hear a lot about politicians serving and honouring the “will of the people” – in Britain this nauseating slogan of appeasement has been repeated ad infinitum since the disastrous European referendum vote – but from where does the supposed conviction of the masses arise? Does it evolve from independent minds tussling with questions of justice and freedom, debating and discussing pertinent issues over tea and cake, or is it the politicians who construct this perceived will, manipulat...

A 21st-Century Marxism: The Revolutionary Possibilities of the “New Economy”

NOVANEWS by CHRIS WRIGHT Photo by Ann Wuyts | CC BY 2.0 It should hardly be controversial anymore to say we’re embarking on the “end times” of…something. Maybe it’s corporate capitalism, maybe it’s civilization, maybe it’s humanity. Whatever it is, the unsustainability of the contemporary ancien régime, on the global level, has become obvious. Economically, socially, politically, and environmentally, the next fifty years will see major upheavals, which may end up dwarfing those even of the 1930s and 1940s—the Great Depression and World War II. In this moment of crisis and uncertainty, as we wonder what might come next and if in the long run there is any hope for a positive resolution of the predicaments society finds itself in, we would do well to consider whether that old revolutio...

War, Martial Law, and the Economic Crisis

NOVANEWS Excerpt from "The Global Economic Crisis: The Great Depression of the XXI Century" By Prof Peter Dale Scott Global Research The following text is an excerpt of a chapter by Peter Dale Scott from the book, “The Global Economic Crisis: The Great Depression of the XXI Century“ Global Research Publishers, 2010. The U.S. Treasury’s Financial Bailout The bailout measures of late 2008 may have consequences at least as grave for an open society as the response to 9/11 in 2001. Many members of Congress felt coerced at the time into voting against their inclinations, and the normal procedures for orderly consideration of a bill were dispensed with. The excuse for bypassing normal legislative procedures was the existence of an emergency. But one of the most reprehensible feature...

“A Liberated Area in the Middle East”?: Western Imperialism in Rojava

NOVANEWS Part 1 of a 2 part series By Leftist Critic | Dissident Voice Over 17.1 million live in a socially democratic, secular state, the Syrian Arab Republic, ravaged by overt and covert imperialist machinations supported by Turkey, the Gulf autocracies, and the Western capitalist states. Their government is led by the National Progressive Front (NPF), with its most foremost party the Arab Socialist Ba’ath Party which is joined by numerous radical and socially progressive parties. The NPF’s majority in the Syrian’s People’s Council, the Syrian parliament, was reaffirmed in the April 2016 elections by the Syrian people, elections which were predictably boycotted by the Western-backed opposition and predictably declared “unfree” by Western capitalists. President Donald Trump dealt the...

NOVANEWS https://redyouth.org/2017/05/08/cpgb-ml-address-may-1st-demonstrations-held-by-the-jvp-in-sri-lanka/ RED YOUTH At the invitation of the Peoples Liberation Front – Sri Lanka (JVP), the Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist) sent comrade Sammi Ibrahem to give a message of solidarity to the May 1st demonstrations in Jaffna and Colombo.

It is the opinion of the CPGB-ML that all workers who reside in Britain constitute a part of the British working class, regardless of how long they have been in the country or how long they intend to remain. Whilst working in Britain it is incumbent upon revolutionaries and those who call themselves communist to be active in the revolutionary movement of the co...
