NOVANEWS December 11, 2010 by Bob Nichols   Israeli PM Netanyahu Tours Fire Ravaged Area   (San Francisco) – Early December 2, 2010 deadly fires were set in Israel’s remaining forest. Before it was all said and done at least 42 people were dead – burned to death in the fire, three prisons, a hospital and a university evacuated. 36 Prison Cadets died in Bus Yessir Kaminsky AP Israel was caught quite unprepared and asked more than 20 countries to send help – quick! What started out as a forest fire quickly escalated to a major international incident. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on a visit to the scene by helicopter Israel had suffered a “disaster on a scale we have never seen before.” A Week Later……. It is now Dec 9, 2010. The forest fire in the Carmel Mountains around ...

NOVANEWS December 12, 2010    (c) 2010 by S. H. Pearson http://shpearson.wordpress.com   Terrorism is violence and intimidation used to get people to do what you want.  For example, if you want college students to go along with invasive video cameras placed everywhere on campus, just get “a crazy gunman” to shoot a few of them.  Like the man wrote in The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, all you have to do is show people some blood and they will do anything you want. After the Virginia Tech “gunman” sprayed bullets into a classroom, suddenly our campus turned into a video surveillance police state.  It was like they were at the ready to slap everything into place as soon as young Mr. Cho shot his classmates.  My campus changed over night.  To me there seemed a strong correlation be...

NOVANEWS Another silent walk-out in protest of Israel’s PR campaign Guest post, Christo­pher Clark   On December 2nd, an event entitled “Over­com­ing Terror: A True Story” was set to take place on the Uni­ver­sity of Mass­a­chu­setts campus in Amherst, Mass­a­chu­setts. It was sponsored by the Student Alliance for Israel (SAFI) and the Uni­ver­sity of Mass­a­chu­setts Hillel House. IDF Sergeant Kenny Sachs was the orator, an on-call speaker for Israeli pro­pa­ganda groups Upstart Activist and Divest­ment Watch. Though the topic of dis­cus­sion happened in Gaza, the event descrip­tion never named Pales­tini­ans. Instead, “ter­ror­ists”  was the term used to describe those who “attacked” Sergeant Sachs at the Erez check­point in northern Gaza. The rest of the descrip­tion being a muddled acc...

NOVANEWS I think what has been most telling in the Wikileaks release has less what has been released—which has been nothing substantively new, and in a moment when there is simple a torrent of information available, simply overwhelming to people not short of information but of people to act on it—but instead what the sifting through of the information reveals about those who comment about it. The lunatics assume that Julian Assange is a CIA-plant, a Zionist operative, a stooge, a villain, a triple-agent, or whatever else their minds come up with. Busy looking for subterranean conspiracies, they refuse to see the conspiracy right out in the open: class war, neo-colonialism, occupation, domination. What has been second-most telling is the texture of interactions between Israeli officials and...

NOVANEWS   Unprecedented: master’s thesis on Jewish white privilege and Israel attacked in Canadian legislature More Recent Articles Search MuzzleWatch Prior Mailing Archive Canadian grad student, Jewish anti-Zionist activist, and descendant of Holocaust survivors Jenny Peto is breaking new ground with her University of Toronto master’s thesis The Victimhood of the Powerful: White Jews, Zionism and the Racism of Hegemonic Holocaust Education, though perhaps not in the way she intended. The Canadian National Post reports: It has provoked intense debate online, in academia and even the political realm. Progressive Conservative MPP Steve Clark raised it in the legislature Tuesday in response to sharp criticism in the Jewish community, calling it “shockingly anti-Semitic.” Citiz...

NOVANEWS December 10, 2010 by Debbie Menon  For anyone who has studied the craft of intelligence and of disinformation, a clear pattern emerges in the Wikileaks drama. The focus is put on select US geopolitical targets, appearing as Hillary Clinton put it “to justify US sanctions against Iran.” By F. William Engdahl  The story on the surface makes for a script for a new Oliver Stone Hollywood thriller. A 39-year old Australian hacker holds the President of the United States and his State Department hostage to a gigantic cyber “leak,” unless the President leaves Julian Assange and his Wikileaks free to release hundreds of thousands of pages of sensitive US Government memos. A closer look at the details, so far carefully leaked by the most ultra-establishment of international media suc...

NOVANEWS December 7, 2010 by Jeff Gates  The U.S. is slipping into a debt-induced recession from which we’re assured that more debt is the remedy. Only when Americans grasp the internalized source of this subtle warfare can we prevail over this enemy within. At the close of World War II, the U.S. was home to 50% of the world’s productive power. That economic strength assured America’s dominant financial position for at least two decades. That strength included the ability to issue the world’s top-rated bonds. Look at us now. The financial cost to the U.S. of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is projected to top $3 trillion-all of it borrowed. The interest expense alone could reach $700 billion. The U.S. Congress is debating whether to authorize the borrowing of $700 billion to extend Bush-er...

NOVANEWS December 7, 2010 by Dr. Alan Sabrosky   From what the press is reporting about this Wikileaks “dump,” perhaps 10% are Secret or Confidential, the rest Unclassified, and nothing is Top Secret or above   I have followed the unfolding teapot-tempest drama of the latest Wikileaks release with a certain bemusement, accompanied by a growing suspicion shared with others that all is not as it seems with these supposed revelations. But my initial impression, based of course on what I am reading in the mainstream and alternative media and not in the cables themselves, is that it is surprising how little damaging material is there about much of the world. Secretary Clinton cannot be happy at having the UN people know what she told her people there to do, of course, and there is a great de...

NOVANEWS BUSTED!! WIKILEAKS STRUCK A DEAL WITH ISRAEL OVER CABLE LEAKS December 8, 2010 by Gordon Duff  INDYMEDIA:  WikiLeaks ‘struck a deal with Israel’ over diplomatic cables leaks    “Assange met with Israeli officials in Geneva earlier this year and struck the secret deal. The Israel government, it seems, had somehow found out or expected that the documents to be leaked contained a large number of documents about the Israeli attacks on Lebanon and Gaza in 2006 and 2008-9 respectively. These documents, which are said to have originated mainly from the Israeli embassies in Tel Aviv and Beirut, where removed and possibly destroyed by Assange, who is the only person who knows the password that can open these documents, the sources added.” We should obviously all support WikiLeaks and i...
