Politics

  by Michel Chossudovsky Order Online Here In this new and expanded edition of Chossudovsky’s international best-seller, the author outlines the contours of a New World Order which feeds on human poverty and the destruction of the environment, generates social apartheid, encourages racism and ethnic strife and undermines the rights of women. The result as his detailed examples from all parts of the world show so convincingly, is a globalization of poverty. This book is a skilful combination of lucid explanation and cogently argued critique of the fundamental directions in which our world is moving financially and economically. In this new enlarged edition –which includes ten new chapters and a new introduction-- the author reviews the causes and consequences of famine in Sub-Saharan Afr...

NOVANEWS by Stephen Lendman On June 28, New York Times writer Liz Alderman headlined, “France’s Lagarde Named New Head of IMF,” saying: She’ll assume “one of the most powerful positions in global finance as a worsening crisis in Greece threatens the euro currency union and rattles financial markets worldwide.” Washington’s choice all along, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner endorsed her over Mexico’s central bank governor Agustin Carsten, her only competitor after IMF board of directors excluded Israeli central bank governor Stanley Fischer. Allegedly because of age, he, in fact, lacked support outside Israel, and US officials stuck with traditional IMF policy of a European in charge. An American always heads the World Bank, yet Washington dominates all international lending agencies, assur...

NOVANEWS by Tom Valentine         The following Appeared in Newsreal Magazine in summer of 1977, and was taken from an earlier article in the Christian Science Monitor. This writer got to know Harlan Trott and therefore learned just how accurate was his reporting. Subsidies are simply corporate welfare; and the oil boys have been guzzling from the public trough since the first Rockefeller/Rothschild monopolies. Huge state supports always accompany these monopolies, protecting them from entrepreneurs with better ideas. As you will see; the oil game has been rigged for a long time. This story is an outstanding history lesson. Note the combination of industry, Congress and Big Banking. by Harlan Trott, 1974 In this time of brownouts and shortened workweeks called the ener...

NOVANEWS by Eileen Fleming   “Confidential: The Life of Secret Agent Turned Hollywood Tycoon Arnon Milchan,” is an unofficial biography about the Hollywood producer, longtime weapons dealer, Israeli intelligence agent and close friend of Israeli President Shimon Peres. Milchan met with the authors, Meir Doron and Joseph Gelman, answered their questions, corrected their mistakes and quoted Peres as stating, “I am the one who recruited him.” In the 1970′s, Peres was Minister of Defense when he recruited Milchan as an agent for Lakam, a ‘secret’ unit in Israel’s defense ministry that purchased technological parts and materials for Israel’s WMD program. “Since its founding in the mid-1950′s, the agency was headed by Benjamin Blumberg…Blumberg was Milchan’s friend, and used him (as well a...

NOVANEWS Murdoch’s Fox News operation received a break. by Bill Hare It was eventually learned that an Iraqi flim flam man named Ahmed Chalabi sold Miller and others on his allegations. His fantasy stories were trotted out as news. The spying activities being currently revealed about Rupert Murdoch’s operations should be anything but surprising to anyone taking the trouble to analyze what has been happening. There was the same rush to war in Iraq as there would be to instill George W. Bush in office and keep him there by hook or crook, using such unsubtle means in 2004 as to have commentators that Bill O’Reilly assured us operated objectively count down the number of days to Bush’s re-election. To use the term re-election was a falsehood since it has been fully documented that Bush was ne...

NOVANEWS by Eileen Fleming   On Saturday morning, Rupert Murdoch apologized to the British public in a full-page advertisement that will run for three days in seven national newspapers stating: “We are sorry. The News of the World was in the business of holding others to account. It failed when it came to itself. We are sorry for the serious wrongdoing that occurred. We are deeply sorry for the hurt suffered by the individuals affected.” The apology was first published the day after two of Murdoch’s senior executives resigned over a phone hacking scandal that has engulfed his media empire as it also shines a light on a lack of journalistic integrity and ethical behavior. Police in the United Kingdom have identified almost 4,000 potential targets of phone hacking from a private invest...

NOVANEWS By Andrew Gavin Marshall Global Research www.andrewgavinmarshall.com In late June of 2011, the Greek government passed another round of austerity measures, ostensibly aimed at getting Greece “back on track” to economic progress, but in reality, implementing a systematic program of ‘social genocide’ in the name of servicing an endless and illegitimate debt to foreign banks. Right on cue, protests and riots broke out in Athens against the draconian measures, and the state moved in to do what states do best: oppress the people with riot police, tear gas and bashing batons, leaving roughly 300 people injured. Is Greece simply a case of a country full of lazy people who spent beyond their means and are now paying for their own decadence? Or, is there something much l...

NOVANEWS by rehmat1 Richard Falk has removed the controversial cartoon from his personal blog. The cartoon was not anti-Christ or anti-Islam which are considered kosher as part of ‘freedom of speech’ in the West. The cartoon, in fact, depicted a dog wearing a shirt labeled “USA” and a yarmulke marked with a Star of Zion devouring a bloody human carcass. Lady Justice stands by blindfolded, holding the dog’s leash as it urinates on her feet. According to Falk the cartoon was meant to show Washington’s double standards related to the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrants for Libyan President Qaddafi and his son. In all practical sense, ICC is a ZOG Judicial setup. A few years ago, it issued arrest warrant for another sitting Muslim President of Sudan. However, it refuses to prosecu...

NOVANEWS By Brig Asif Haroon raja Both Gen Musharraf and President Zardari went out of the way to accommodate US legal and illegal wishes. They were successfully brainwashed that the chief threat to Pakistan’s integrity and to their rule was from local extremists and not from India and that the US was Pakistan’s well-wisher. To keep our rulers scared and committed to fight militants with full strength, not only aid was made conditional to its performance in war on terror but also sponsored terror attacks were organized against sensitive installations. Attack on GHQ was organized in 2009 to spur Gen Kayani to undertake mother of all battles in South Waziristan. Our rulers have got so fixated with the US fed threat that they have become oblivious to the fact that as against the paltry...

NOVANEWS By Prof Michel Chossudovsky Global Research Throughout the history of mankind there have been murderers and tyrants; and while it may seem momentarily that they have the upper hand, they have always fallen. (Mahatma Gandhi) The United States has discarded pretensions to international legality and decency, and embarked on a course of raw imperialism run amok. (William Rockler, Nuremberg Tribunal prosecutor) Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. (François-Marie Arouet – Voltaire, 1694-1778) Look inside "Towards a World War III Scenario: The Dangers of Nuclear War", the NEW E-Book by Michel Chossudovsky: The US and its NATO allies are preparing to launch a nuclear war directed against both Iran and North Korea with devastatin...
