NOVANEWS  GILAD ATZMON Gilad Atzmon: The following is an analytical outlook into issues to do with civil liberties in post 9/11 America. At a certain stage, Dr. Abed Rabbo pointed out that what we see in America could be interpreted as the  Zionification of the  American legal system. I mentioned to Dr Abed Rabbo that this shouldn't take us by surprise, at the end of the day, 9/11 is the point in time where the English Speaking Empire adopted the  'Eye For An Eye' as its political mantra...We have been  Zionised for a while now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbtL8AlZTRM Civil Liberties in the aftermath of Sept. 11 Dr. Samir Abed-Rabbo The attack on the World Trade Center on Sept. 11 by Muslim Individuals was a criminal act that had profound implications for the Muslims, the Unite...

NOVANEWS by bellacaledonia   Going to press tonight news that a temporary reprieve has been won. By Kate Higgins I can’t pretend to have followed the saga of Dale Farm up close and personal.  Sometimes things are too painful and you know it wasn’t ever going to have a happy ending.  Not for the little people in this everyday tale of prejudice and malice.  But like many, I’ve been cheering the residents on silently from the sidelines, willing and hoping that for once, a new history could be written.  One where Roma and gypsy travellers aren’t persecuted. Roma peoples are everyone’s easy target.  If it was anyone else who had developed Dale farm illegally, retrospective planning consent could have been applied for and, albeit subject to some conditions, granted.  We should be appl...

NOVANEWS GILAD ATZMON http://youtu.be/TNngjZ1COJA This film is dedicated to the so-called Jewish 'anti' Zionists who were harassing and detracting us ahead of the Freiburg Conference ('Palestine, Israel and Germany - Boundaries of Open Discussion). Ideally, we would like to see many Jews contributing to the discourse rather than attempting to dismantle it. However, we will prevail!!!       Gilad Atzmon’s New Book is available onAmazon.com  or Amazon.co.uk    

NOVANEWS  How Do Politicians Get People to Vote Against Their Own Interest? Beneath the Spin * Eric L. Wattree I was watching the Republican debate the other night and it astounded me to see how many people were applauding proposed policies that would cut their throats. During the debates I watched people whose very lives are dependent on social security, applauding enthusiastically in support of the views of Rick Perry, Republican governor of Texas, a man who is on record as saying he believes that social security is unconstitutional. So how do politicians get people to vote against their own interest? A classic example of the technique at work can be found in how the Republican Party manipulated the American people during the sixties. When you consider how methodically conservatives wen...

NOVANEWS GILAD ATZMON   Essence of the suppressed truth By Alan Hart The following is the text of a speech I delivered on 11 September to a conference in Freiburg, Germany, “Palestine, Israel and Germany - the Boundaries of Open Discussion”. The full title of my address was The mainstream media’s complicity in Zionism’s suppression of the truth of history. I describe the conflict in and over Palestine that became the Zionist - not Jewish! - state of Israel as the cancer at the heart of international affairs; and I believe that without a cure this cancer will consume us all. I also believe that almost nothing is more important than crossing and actually eliminating the boundaries that have prevented, and to a very large extent do still prevent, informed and honest discussion about ...

NOVANEWS  GILAD ATZMON     A review of Gilad Atzmon's new book, The Wandering Who? Gilad Atzmon, OpEdNews contributing writer, has just published a study of Jewish identity politics. The Wandering Who? chronicles his journey away from his Jewish identity, and by extension away from all exclusive identities, into an inclusive humanness. It's a painful journey, a brutally honest self exploration of these internalized tribal impulses. He emerges from the struggle deracinated but emancipated, freed of a destructive load of cultural baggage. As the poet Allen Ginsberg said, "If you want to be a prophet, you have to tell your secrets." By being brave enough to expose himself in writing, Atzmon has become a prophet, and his prophecy, as I see it, is a completion of the Mosa...

NOVANEWS ed note–we are CONSTANTLY being told by the JMSM that it is Islam that abuses women and that in order to bring ‘freedom’ to the women of MENA that Western Christian countries must invade, conquer and destroy. Furthermore, imagine for a moment–if these individuals so easily did this to one of their own, what are they willing to do to the women and children of the MENA?
