Erotica: Pornography and the Dreadful Few (Part I)

NOVANEWS “[O]lder generation of Jewish filmmakers and actors, here [Woody] Allen, [Stanley] Kubrick and [Ron] Jeremy, arguably not only increased the Jewishness of their work, but updated it to match the new post-1990 sensibility by defining it in increasingly sexualized (and pornographic) terms.” Nathan Abrams, Bangor University[1] …by Jonas E. Alexis We have repeatedly examined the work of Jewish scholar Nathan Abrams in the past because his article, “Triple Exthnics,” produced a firestorm of controversy when it came out in 2004. Abrams’ “Triple Exthnics,” however, was certainly not original. Just one year prior to its release, E. Michael Jones published a similar article entitled, “Rabbi Dresner’s Dilemma: Torah v. Ethnos,” in which he meticulously detailed the ideological forces be...

The question of state legitimacy

NOVANEWS By Lawrence Davidson The traditional criterion for state legitimacy was very simple. If a state and its government could hold and govern territory, it was legitimate, at least in the eyes of other governments. The form of government and its behaviour did not matter in this definition – Stalin’s USSR, Mussolini‘s Italy, Hitler’s Germany – these regimes held territory and ruled as surely as did the ones in Britain, France and the United States. And, in each other’s official eyes, one state was as legitimate as the other. State legitimacy and human rights This outlook began to change in 1945. Just before and then during World War II, fascist behaviour in general and Nazi behaviour in particular was so shocking that many post-war governments became convinced that state legitimacy...

Let’s remember, Iraq news has been a lie since Day #1 How lies sold the American public on war

NOVANEWS We now explore the legacy of Edward Bernays, the father of modern public relations. PR firms have convinced the public to do everything from smoke a particular brand of cigarettes to wage war, often without the public ever knowing they're being manipulated. Initially, Americans had little interest in the Iraq-Kuwait conflict. That is, until a young woman calling herself Nurse Nayirah testified in front of the Congressional Human Rights Caucus. She claimed that Iraqi forces were ripping premature Kuwaiti infants from incubators and killing them. The emotional effect of her testimony resonated with the American public, and the UN consequently approved the use of force against Iraq. Except that her story was fake. False. Made up. She was not a nurse - she was the daughter of the K...

Howard Zinn – Myth Of The Good Wars (Three ‘Holy’ Wars) ”VIDEO”

NOVANEWS Howard Zinn was one of the many disciples of investigative journalist George Seldes. He was the author of more than 20 books, including "A People's History of the United States", a perpetual best seller. Zinn's perspective on war was not created in a vacuum. During World War II Zinn was a bombardier in the 490th Bombardment Group, His targets included Berlin, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary as well as Royan, a seaside resort in southwestern France which on which he dropped napalm. He documented the last bombing in his book "The Politics of History", the research included him discovering that 1.000 civilians were killed in that raid and the raid itself, ordered in the last three weeks of the war, was primarily a career-building exercise for the officers involved. Many Vets shar...

Transitional times or the end times?

NOVANEWS By Graham Peebles Given the violent turmoil raging throughout large parts of the world and the devastating impact of man-made climate change, many fear humanity and the planet are on the verge of destruction. The religiously inclined, particularly those sitting on the far right of the spectrum, point towards various passages in the scriptures which they believe accurately describe these times and proclaim them to be “the end times”. This is apocalyptically understood, through the prism of doctrine, to be not simply the annihilation of a sin-drenched humanity which, according to the “judgment of the just”, deserves its fate, but the obliteration of planet Earth itself. Such doom-laden interpretation of events cultivates fear, suffocates hope and fails to recognise the good a...

Resistance to oppression is a UN-recognised human right

NOVANEWS www.joti2gaza.org I wrote this on Facebook at the end of July as a general sounding-off against all those war pimps who try to equate the violence of the oppressed with the violence of the oppressor in Gaza. I am so sick of listening to people slating the Palestinian resistance (‘Hamas’) for trying to fight back against the genocide being perpetrated against their people. To deny people their right to resist is to deny them their humanity. It is a right that is actually enshrined in international law. Not that you’d know it from watching or reading the corporate media coverage. How do you feel about the French resistance who fought Nazi occupation? If you think this is different, ask yourself why? Because the people fighting this particular occupation are brown and not ...

The empty world of Palestine-set BBC drama “The Honorable Woman”

NOVANEWS Sarah Irving The Electronic Intifada 140912-honorable-woman.jpg Maggie Gyllenhaal in The Honorable Woman The Honorable Woman, shown on TV in Britain and the US this summer and now released on DVD, has been heralded by mainstream critics as a rare attempt to tackle the issue of Palestine in a serious television drama. The title, like much of the series, seems deliberately multi-faceted. Does it refer to the ennoblement of central character Nessa Stein (played by Maggie Gyllenhaal), a British-Israeli businesswoman elevated to the British House of Lords for her efforts towards “peace in the Middle East?” The term “honorable” has overtones of the British House of Commons, where Members of Parliament address one another as “the honorable member.” Or does it refer to Ne...

‘Whistleblowers fight fear to expose world’s dark secrets’ ”VIDEO”

NOVANEWS The truth is we don't have a lot of real heroes in this world. But one group are on our side: whistleblowers. They stand up for us, tell the truth and face terrible retribution. What are we doing to help them? Here's an important initiative from the UK. If we don't support these folks, the truth is we deserve what we get and are getting. - See more at: http://www.brasschecktv.com/videos/good-guys-1/protecting-whistleblowers.html#sthash.mU3ISIN5.dpuf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUGsTRs_A7s#t=242
