NOVANEWS by crescentandcross Posted by: Sammi Ibrahem Chair of West Midland PSC     Source–http://mantiqaltayr.wordpress.com 1. Something else bothered Orlich. Yee mentioned he had studied in Damascus. Orlich wondered about a man who would go to Syria — a state sponsor of terrorism — to find God. What do you do after  you help destroy a man’s military career and then help create a system of prisoner abuse that is then used against hundreds of prisoners?  I mean that’s a pretty good track record right there. What would you do for an encore? (See here for a complete expose. Also, take a look here andhere and here and see Orlich suck up to Steve Emerson here.) Why not put together a huge bullshit-filled KKK-like anti-Muslim briefing up on the internet? Oh, and make sure t...

By Prof Lawrence Davidson Posted by: Sammi Ibrahem Chair of West Midland PSC On 23 March 2011 the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that the United Nations Rapporteur Richard Falk (Professor Emeritus of International Law at Princeton University) told the world organization’s Human Rights Council that the "continued pattern of settlement expansion in East Jerusalem combined with the forcible eviction of long-residing Palestinians are creating an intolerable situation.." In fact, he continued, the present process "can only be described in its cumulative impact as ethnic cleansing." Falk concluded by asking the UN Human Rights Council to request an investigation by the International Criminal Court into whether Israeli actions in the West Bank amount to "colonialism, apartheid a...

NOVANEWS Posted By: Sammi Ibrahem Chair of West Midland PSC   I forgot to mention that I review James Petras's latest pamphlet in Jacobin. James Petras has been cloned. Petras I is still reliable, if a bit creaky in his old age. He digs for information in Chapare, Chiapas, and elsewhere in the Latin American countryside, interviewing militants from the Venezuelan National Peasant Front Ezequiel Zamora, rural organizers from the Brazilian Landless Worker’s Movements, syndicalists in Uruguay, and slum-dwellers in Argentinevillas de miseria. He pores through primary resources in Portuguese and Spanish, clattering out endless reams of political journalism on the struggle of the dispossessed in Latin American, situating their struggles within the political economy of global imperialism...

NOVANEWS Glenda Jackson opposes bogus definition of antisemitism I saw this report in the JC online linked on the home page.  It's headed Glenda Jackson: calling Israelis Nazis is not hate speech - it's free speech and it has Glenda Jackson clearly opposing the aspects of that bogus "working definition of antisemitism" that I'm always going on about that are aimed at preventing criticism of Israel. You can call Israelis Nazis and compare Gaza to a concentration camp - but that is not preaching hatred, according to Labour MP Glenda Jackson. Ms Jackson, who won her Hampstead and Kilburn seat with a majority of just 42 votes in the general election, submitted herself to a grilling by Jewish constituents at London's Belsize Square Synagogue this week. The MP dug her heels in when aske...

NOVANEWS By Global Research URL of this article: www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=23868 Global Research Never before has it been so important to have independent, honest voices and sources of information. We are – as a society – inundated and overwhelmed with a flood of information from a wide array of sources, but these sources of information, by and large, serve the powerful interests and individuals that own them. The main sources of information, for both public and official consumption, include the mainstream media, alternative media, academia and think tanks. The mainstream media is the most obvious in its inherent bias and manipulation. The mainstream media is owned directly by large multinational corporations, and through their boards of directo...

NOVANEWS   Suppressing free and open discussion on any subject is as bad as telling lies, and knowingly suppressing the truth is the biggest lie of all, because it is based, not on a mistake or a genuine error, but on a deliberate intention to deceive. by Anthony Lawson   Having been tortured, Rudolf Höss, who was the commander of Auschwitz from 1940 to 1943, almost certainly lied to save the lives of his wife and children. Even if torture and duress cannot not be proven, the overwhelming reason for recognizing the utter falsity of the Höss confession is that the gassing method he described was not scientifically plausible. Yet Höss’s conviction has stood, by inference, as a testament to the cruelty of Germans in general, since he was tried at Nuremberg, in 1947, and subseq...

NOVANEWS   by crescentandcross       Ed note–Ostensibly, the reason for the nuclear reactors in Japan going into meltdown mode was an earthquake followed by a tsunami. No such dangers exist in Germany, yet they are shutting down their reactors–Do they know something the rest of us don’t, perhaps dealing with a computer worm known as Stuxnet designed to destroy reactors such as these? Germany has temporarily shut down seven of its nuclear reactors while it reconsiders its nuclear strategy. Chancellor Angela Merkel said that all reactors operational before 1980 would be taken offline, and safety checks carried out on the remaining plants. The move comes after concerns about radiation leaks at a Japanese plant after last Friday’s earthquake. The EU has also reached ...

NOVANEWS     Stage 1 The Sheople People in the street know the banks, governments, multinational corporations and the ‘establishment’ are corrupt as hell, but haven’t worked out ‘the agenda’. They still try to make sense of this illusion through the mainstream media. Many of these people are very angry and try to vent their anger at the government and local MPs. They attend futile protests/demos and fill out partitions in the hope it will make a difference to their lives and the world in general. Stage 2 The Sleepwalkers “Oh my God – there’s an agenda. The New World dis-Order, Illuminati, Freemasons, and many amorphous entities like these, not to mention all the disinfo out there. This is the first wake-up call in which (unfortunately) most ‘truthers’ remain and do not prog...
