NOVANEWS What do Breivik, CounterPunch, David Duke, Stormfront and the Jerusalem Post have in common   Damn, no Atzmon on the list.  I saw Duke and read Atzmon.  Silly me or am I?  It seems like only yesterday that  neo-nazi David Duke was distributing his Letter to the Courageous Former Israeli Gilad Atzmon. I ought to say that it is seriously not nice to try to make political capital over the slaughter that took place in Norway just recently though if there are political lessons to be learned then they should be and there are many outpourings on the web and in the mainstream media that are trying to glean lessons from the Norway killings that go beyond mere security issues.  There are also anecdotes arising out of the commentary and I suppose this post just draws on and adds to those. ...

NOVANEWS http://www.gilad.co.uk/writings/self-hatred-vs-self-love-an-interview-with-eric-walberg-by-g.html Two weeks ago I published a review of Eric Walberg’s invaluable new book Postmodern Imperialism: Geopolitics and the Great Games. I was left with a few questions which Eric was kind enough to address. Gilad Atzmon:  Hello Eric; thanks for finding the time to talk. I would like to begin if I may, with a few short questions: firstly, what is self-hatred? Eric Walberg: Buddhism is based on the annihilation of the self. Islam – on the total submission of self. It’s at the heart of Christian beliefs too. (I don’t know about Judaism.)  Self-hatred has respectable roots. GA: I totally agree with you. However, I wonder, are you a self-hater? I ask because in your writing...

NOVANEWS by Ed Mattson Well it’s happened. The President slithered off to the White House to sign into law the budget deficit compromise which validated a total failure of government. Then Senator Obama himself said on March 20, 2006… “The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops’ here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt prob...

NOVANEWS‘ People like you, Mr. Greenstein, should be put in preventive custody!’  Dr: Gabi Weber This is an long exchange e-mail between Gilad Atzmon and Tony Greenstein before you read it I copied an e-mail sent by Dr Gabi Weber her e-mail shed the light on the Greenstein true nature it is for you to judge not for us. Subject: Re: Stop bothering!!!! Hello Mr. Greenstein, as physician, working with all kinds of patients for years now, I am used to many different symptoms, diseases, psychological disorders and so on. Fortunately until now I never before was involved in dirty games and tricks as I am experiencing in the emails you are sending for days now. Even the mentally sickest of my patients I ever had, was not as sick as you are! And to say it clear - KEEP ME OUT OF YOUR MAD INTRIGUES...

NOVANEWS Date: Wed, 27 Jul 2011 03:15:11 +0100 From: tonygreenstein@yahoo.com To: Ken O’Keefe Subject: Atzmon Ken I'm surprised that I even have to write to you about this. From memory you once wrote to me saying that you had no time for Atzmon yet here you are on a bill with him. In case this is all strange to you, I am posting a link to my 'Guide to Atzmon' It is interesting that in Germany of all places Atzmon titles his talk History, Truth and Integrity because in his essay Truth, History and Integrity he writes that ‘If, for instance, the Nazis wanted the Jews out of their Reich (Judenrein - free of Jews), or even dead, as the Zionist narrative insists, how come they marched hundreds of thousands of them back into the Reich at the end of the war?’ [my emphasis – TG] ‘If the Nazis ran ...

NOVANEWS by Ingrid Zundel   Now that the “False Flag” topic is at the forefront of political discussions, it is timely to call attention to a well-known incident that happened inside Germany, best known to history as “Kristallnacht”. Orthodox history has it that under Hitler’s orders, goose-stepping Germans went on a gratuitous rampage – burning synagogues, smashing shop windows, killing Jews – behaving like hysterical brutes. Today it is widely taken for granted that this attack on the Jews in Germany was a government-sanctioned blast-off of unrestrained antisemitism that led eventually to Auschwitz. A well-researched school of thought will tell you differently. I heard it first some fifteen years ago – that, like so many other covert operations since exposed, “Kristallnacht” was a ...

NOVANEWS  GILAD ATZMON   "It (immigration) was a politically motivated attempt by ministers to transform the fundamental make-up and identity of this country (Britain). It was done to destroy the right of the British people to live in a society defined by a common history, religion, law, language and traditions." (Melanie Phillips, as quoted by mass murderer, Anders Breivik, in his manifesto) Melanie Philips, a rabid Zionist and the author of “Londonistan: How Britain is Creating a Terror State Within” is not happy to be singled out by Andres Breivik in his 1500 pages manuscript.   Are they suggesting that “my writing provoked the mass murder of some 93 Norwegians?” she wonders righteously on her blog. I guess that Phillips knows the answer, as much as she knows how to play with wor...

NOVANEWS by crescentandcross    Philip Giraldi On Friday night and Saturday morning I scanned the newspapers and watched the usual after-the-fact nonsense on television in the wake of the horrific terror attack in Norway. The late edition of Friday’s Wall Street Journal featured a lead editorial blaming “jihadis” for the slaughter, an attack that was, per the editorial writer, launched because Norway is a liberal democracy. Even though it was a plausible turn on the “they hate us because of our freedom” argument, the Journal later expunged the editorial from its website. The New York Times meanwhile was quoting terrorism expert Will McCants, who also was blaming the carnage on Islamic militants, though both he and the Times later recanted. Over at the Washington Post, it was more o...

NOVANEWS By Global Research Global Research This past weekend, news outlets across the world have turned their lenses to focus on the horrific events that took place in Norway on Friday, July 22. The picture that emerges is of a lone gunman opening fire at a children's camp (latest figures indicate anywhere between 76 and 93 deaths), following a bomb explosion that claimed at least 8 lives in the nation's capital of Oslo earlier that day. Already we see mainstream media indiscriminately putting its spin of choice on this tragic event and, not surprising, buzzwords being tossed around casually without regard for truth or fact include everything from "Muslim terrorists" to the omnipresent propagandistic "war on terror". In his article on "News Without Facts", Edward Teller li...

NOVANEWS THE GREAT GAMES-BOOK REVIEW Eric Walberg on Post-Modern Imperialism The Great Games By GILAD ATZMON http://www.counterpunch.org/atzmon07222011.html Though the number of critical voices concerning Israel, Zionism and Jewish power is growing steadily, a clear distinction can be made on the one hand between contributors who operate within the discourse and are politically oriented, and others who transcend themselves above and beyond any given political paradigm. The former category refers to writers and scholars who operate 'within the box,' accepting the restrictive measures of a given political and intellectual discourse. A thinker who operates within such a framework would initially identify the boundaries of the discourse, and then shape his or her ideas to fit in accordingly...
