'Out of Control' Inequality: Global One Percent Owns Half of World's Wealth

NOVANEWS The Credit Suisse report shows worldwide inequality growing even faster than experts had predicted by: Deirdre Fulton Credit Suisse estimates that the number of global millionaires will probably increase 46 percent to 49.3 million over the next five years. (Photo: epSos.de/flickr/cc) The top one percent of households "account for half of all assets in the world," according to a new report from a leading multinational bank. The 2015 Credit Suisse Global Wealth Report puts worldwide wealth inequality at a level "possibly not seen for almost a century," the researchers write. The data also reveals adeclining middle class and that the poorest half of the world's population owns just one percent of its assets. Meanwhile, the number of "ultra-wealthy" people continu...

Social conditioning, the self and sustaining the neo-liberal order

NOVANEWS By Graham Peebles Does the purpose of our lives change with age; does the life of a 30-something have more point to it than, say, a 50- or 60-year-old? Indeed, is there any real point to either, and how would we discover what it is? To many of us The Cow is the best pub in London. On a quiet balmy Wednesday in June, I met a fellow middle-aged man for a beer, a bite and, much to my surprise, what turned out to be some searching, existential chatter. What, my friend asked, after a beer or two, is the point of me, the purpose of my life and, by extension, of others like me? It is a great and fundamental question, perhaps the great and fundamentalquestion, and ought to be widely discussed and seriously investigated. It flows naturally into and out of the question “Who am I”. However...

Left Unity: another Trotskyist attempt to mislead the working class

NOVANEWS The latest attempt to divert workers’ burning desire for change down pointless avenues of non-activity takes support for imperialism to a new level by including a class A war criminal amongst its leading lights. On 30 November, London’s Royal National Hotel is set to be the venue for the founding conference of yet another self-proclaimed party, purporting to represent the interests of working people in Britain. Since making an initial appeal in March, Left Unity claims, in a letter published in the Guardian on 12 August, that “more than 9,000 people have signed up and more than 100 local groups have been established across the country”. (‘Left Unity ready to offer an alternative’) Sounds impressive – and at least in part this apparent surge in support does r...

The UN Releases Plan to Push for Worldwide Internet Censorship

NOVANEWS By Michael Krieger Global Research The United Nations has disgraced itself immeasurably over the past month or so. In case you missed the following stories, I suggest catching up now: The UN’s “Sustainable Development Agenda” is Basically a Giant Corporatist Fraud Not a Joke – Saudi Arabia Chosen to Head UN Human Rights Panel Fresh off the scene from those two epic embarrassments, the UN now wants to tell governments of the world how to censor the internet. I wish I was kidding. From the Washington Post: On Thursday, the organization’s Broadband Commission for Digital Development released a damning “world-wide wake-up call” on what it calls “cyber VAWG,” or violence against women and girls. The report concludes that online harassment is “a problem of pandemic proportion” ...

Solidarity as a Weapon against US Imperialism. Che Guevara

NOVANEWS By Susan Babbitt Global Research David Cameron worries about “swarms” entering the UK. Swarms are clouds of insects. Cameron should know migrants from Syria, Iraq, and Libya are people. Yet solidarity is not fellow-feeling. It involves recognition. And recognition is not individual, or even social. It depends upon networks of beliefs and practises – social, economic, cultural and political. It is significant that Brazilian educator, Paulo Freire, wrote that liberation of the oppressed depends upon naming. He knew how difficult this is. So did Che Guevara. Guevara’s remarks about solidarity are relevant. Cameron’s uninteresting error deflects from the real challenge of the migrant crisis. Guevara describes solidarity as readiness to die. His point is, in part, that solidarity...

Naming Names: Your Real Government

NOVANEWS by Tony Cartalucci This is your real government: they transcend elected administrations, they permeate every political party, and they are responsible for nearly every aspect of the average American and European’s way of life. When the “left” is carrying the torch for two “Neo-Con” wars, starting yet another based on the same lies, peddled by the same media outlets that told of Iraqi WMD’s, the world has no choice, beyond profound cognitive dissonance, but to realize something is wrong. What’s wrong is a system completely controlled by a corporate-financier oligarchy with financial, media, and industrial empires that span the globe. If we do not change the fact that we are helplessly dependent on these corporations that regulate every aspect of our nation politically, and every a...

Ending Government Rule of the Elites, by the Elites, for the Elites

NOVANEWS By Robert Abele Global Research By now it is nearly commonplace that the specific American system of capitalist governance has resulted in a hollowing-out of U.S. democracy, which now serves the interests of economic elites rather than the people. One of the primary examples of this is how the Obama administration is handling the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP): a top-secret process that will affect the lives of each individual living in the countries which agree to it, yet the negotiators are a few government officials (i.e. the Office of the United States Trade Representative) and 600 corporations,excluding Congress, and with no voice from or for the people themselves, nor any concern involving the citizens (see Paul Craig Roberts, “TTIP: The Corporate Empowerment Act”)....
