Assange Takes Credit For Sparking Embassy Violence

NOVANEWS WikiLeaks criticized for linking Benghazi attack to Julian Assange case   The Editor World News Tomorrow   WORLD NEWS TOMORROW– WikiLeaks has been accused of crass self-centredness after it intimated that its founder Julian Assange’s current refuge inside the Ecuadorean embassy in London in part explained or even justified Wednesday’s attack on the US diplomatic mission in Benghazi which killed the ambassador, Chris Stevens, and three other Americans.A post on the official WikiLeaks Twitter feed, which is generally presumed to be operated by Assange, read: “By the US accepting the UK siege on the Ecuadorean embassy in London it gave tacit approval for attacks on embassies around the world.” As a series of other Twitter users objected to the language – one early response...

Work isn’t working

NOVANEWS by deLiberation This article by Matt Bolton The view of work held by the right wing press, has little to do with the operations of contemporary capitalism. But a worrying proportion of the liberal and socialist left shares in this anachronistic vision. The position of work in our society has shifted under our feet, even as it defines our subjectivity more than ever. Put simply, the work that most of us do everyday has very little to do with how the economy functions. Work, in the traditional sense of a workday and a wage, now finds itself as an economic externality to capitalism: as Marx puts it in the Grundrisse, human labour ‘steps to the side’ of the workings of capital.[1] From the standpoint of the worker, this is made clear by the fact that it is becoming increasingly diffi...

The Economic Religion of Finance Capital

NOVANEWS by Frank Scott The Virgin birth. The Chosen people. The Resurrection of the dead. The Free Market. Which of those is unsupported by material evidence but exists by virtue of practice based on fervent, coerced, or simply uncritical belief and is thus subject to failure at any moment when the belief is shaken to its roots by experienced reality? All of them. Of course farmers and flea markets are real, as are the corporate malls where millions enter with credit desire and leave in debt frustration. But the global financial market whose minority controllers run the planet is a vast electronic church sustained by a congregation of mentally and physically brutalized parishioners. A political clergy of rabbis, priests and ministers operate its banking cathedrals as an international ca...

Convicted For A Facebook Rant

NOVANEWS by deLiberation Teenager Azhar Ahmed has been found guilty of posting an offensive Facebook message following the deaths of six British soldiers in Afghanistan. The message he posted on his Facebook wall is reproduced below: Azhar Ahmed’s Facebook status update The judge called this “derogatory, disrespectful and inflammatory”. Although Ahmed’s message is deeply unpleasant, I do not think that updates of this nature should qualify for a criminal conviction. Much political speech is “derogatory, disrespectful and inflammatory” and the first part of his message reads very much like a politcal opinion. In the latter part of the update, he says that the soldiers “should die” and “go to hell”. Wishing for someone to die is also unpleasant, but it is not the same as a death threat. If ...

Let Them Eat

NOVANEWS by mantiqaltayr   A couple of thoughts as the American New Year begins this evening. 1. In general the many protests that have taken place since the "discovery" of a 13 minute or so trailer of  the "Innocence of Muslims" are manifestations of the Muslim world's general disgust at the utterly appalling murderous and illegal policies of the United States with respect to Muslims around the world and at home in the US.  While charlatans and outright terrorists have exploited the movie - in ways entirely predictable and no doubt intended by those behind the film - if not for the absolute shit treatment the US has dished out for years and years to the Palestinians, Egyptians, Iranians, Iraqis, Yemenis, Syrians, Afghanis, Pakistanis, and pretty much everybody else, the demo...

The Liberal Way to Run the World: “Improve” or We’ll Kill You

NOVANEWS By John Pilger Global Research What is the world’s most powerful and violent “ism”? The question will summon the usual demons, such as Islamism, now that communism has left the stage. The answer, wrote Harold Pinter, is only “superficially recorded, let alone documented, let alone acknowledged,” because only one ideology claims to be non-ideological, neither left nor right, the supreme way. This is liberalism. In his 1859 essay, On Liberty, to which modern liberals pay homage, John Stuart Mills described the power of empire. “Despotism is a legitimate mode of government in dealing with barbarians,” he wrote, “provided the end be their improvement, and the means justified by actually effecting that end.” The “barbarians” were large sections of humanity of whom “implicit obedience”...

Orwell's 1984 Solution to Criminalize War: “If There was Hope, it must Lie in the Proles”

NOVANEWS By Prof. James F. Tracy   Global Research “The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance-it is the illusion of knowledge.”-Daniel Boorstin In George Orwell’s 1984 the Outer Party comprised a mere thirteen percent of the population and was subject to the ideological filters in play at the Ministry of Truth and the broader bureaucratic structure. A specific language and way of thinking were closely adhered to. Given their political import, Outer Party members were the most heavily indoctrinated and controlled inhabitants of Oceania. The majority Proles who constituted the remainder of the population was of little consequence so long as their political awareness remained underdeveloped. While its members withstood more austere conditions, 1984's Outer Party...

Jews and Black Americans: Shaming their own history

NOVANEWS Jews and Black Americans: Shaming their own history AUSCHWITZ AS SEEN TODAY M. I. Bhat Khasmir, India For centuries the history of Jews and Black Americans has been one of suffering and humiliation. Ironically, the moment their fortunes turned for the better, they began their new phase with shaming their own respective history. Once wounds on the human conscience, both have become either the perpetrators and instigators (Jews) or the tools (Blacks) in inflicting painful wounds on other peoples, particularly Muslims who, ironically, never had any role in their wretched past. For centuries the history of Jews and Black Americans has been one of suffering — Jews for their faith, and the Blacks for their poverty and color. Whereas the anti-Semitic sentiment finally culminated in...

Freemasonry – Marriage Wrecking Ball

NOVANEWS Freemason wife writes: "I have done a lot of research on this group and i hate to break the news to everyone: it is a CULT!! ...they will never ever fix their lips to say the truth. They have been brainwashed. Now after 19 years i am going to have to learn to live without my wonderful -best friend i ever had - my husband. THANK YOU MASONS I HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY FOR BREAKING UP YET ANOTHER MARRIAGE!!!!!" Freemasonry is a satanic cult, an arm of the Cabalist Jewish central banker conspiracy to enslave mankind. They undermine society by promoting feminism and homosexuality to destroy the family.  Evidently they pursue these goals within their own ranks as well.     by Henry Makow Ph.D. If the testimony of Freemason wives is an indication, the cult takes the place of marriage and famil...
