The shame of injustice

NOVANEWS By Graham Peebles Poverty is the greatest cause of death and illness globally. It strangles the lives of billions of people, denying the expression of innate potential, andcondemning men, women and children to live stunted, uncreative lives of interminable suffering and drudgery. While the numbers living in extreme poverty (the World Bank calculates this to be living on $1.90 a day) has decreased, over half of the world’s 7.5 billion people are somehow surviving on less than $5 a day (the cost of a designer coffee in developed countries). Hundreds of millions of others live in a condition of relative poverty or economic insecurity, with anxiety and worry their constant companion. The majority of the world’s poorest people live in developing countries – India, sub-Saharan Africa ...

NGOs Are The Deep State’s Trojan Horses 'Video'

NOVANEWS corbettreport | May 21, 2018 The Trojan horse was the earliest recorded military psyop. That psyop continues to be deployed on unsuspecting populations and it is just as useful as ever, but today’s tricksters have donned the mantle of philanthropy, and their Trojan horses are not wooden statues but non-governmental organizations offering “aid” to foreign nations. In today’s edition of The Corbett Report, we’ll learn about how NGOs are the deep state’s Trojan horses.

Antifa or Antiwar: Leftist Exclusionism Against the Quest for Peace

NOVANEWS By Diana Johnstone | Consortium News CounterPunch has astonished many of its old fans by its current fundraising ad portraying the site as a prime target of Russia hostility. Under the slogan, “We have all the right enemies”, CP portrays itself as a brave little crew being blown off the water by an evil Russian warship out to eliminate “lefty scum.” Ha Ha Ha, it’s all a joke of course. But it’s a joke that plays into the dangerous, current Russophobia promoted by Clintonite media, the deep state and the War Party. This is a reminder that Russophobia finds a variant in the writing of several prominent CounterPunch contributors. Yes, CounterPunch continues to publish many good articles, but appears also to be paying its tribute to the establishment narrative. Put on the defensive b...

"The Battle for Paradise": Naomi Klein on Disaster Capitalism and the Fight for Puerto Rico's Future

NOVANEWS By Amy Goodman and Juan González, Democracy Now! Six months since Hurricane Maria battered the island of Puerto Rico, the island is the site of a pitched battle between wealthy investors -- particularly from the technology industry -- and everyday Puerto Ricans fighting for a place in their island's future. The Puerto Rican government has pushed for a series of privatization schemes, including privatizing PREPA, one of the largest public power providers in the United States, and increasing the number of privately run charter schools and private school vouchers. For more, we speak with best-selling author and journalist Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism. Her latest piece for The Intercept, where she is a senior correspondent, is "...

Catholic Archbishop Says Pedophilia Is ‘Spiritual Encounter With God’

NOVANEWS One of the highest-ranking officials in the Catholic Church says sexually abused children can experience “a spiritual encounter with God through the priest” while being molested. Australia’s most powerful clergy, Archbishop of Melbourne Denis Hart, says the Catholic practice of confession is satisfactory for dealing with pedophilia in the church as it helps priests absolve “their own guilt” after sexually abusing children. Asked whether he was prepared to be jailed for failing to report child sex abuse by Catholic pedophile priests, Archbishop Hart confirmed he was willing to serve prison time. He also claimed the right to cover for pedophiles in the church is an “absolutely sacrosanct communication of a higher order.“ He made the shocking statement in response to the Austr...

Islamophobia and the “Negative Media Portrayal of Muslims”

NOVANEWS An Exposition of Sufism, A Critique of the Alleged "Clash of Civilizations" By Dr. Belinda F. Espiritu Global Research Originally published on Global Research in April 2015 There is a current obsession in mainstream media and academic discourse pertaining to Islam and the West. This current obsession is tinged with negative signifiers with the global media’s predominantly negative portrayal of Islam and Muslims, depicting Muslims generally as violent, fanatical, bigoted, or as extremists and terrorists. Islamophobia, fear of Islam and Muslims, has intensified with the 9/11 bombing of the World Trade Center in New York, the Taliban’s fundamentalist proscriptions and restrictions in Afghanistan, the Charlie Hebdo attack in France, and the emergence of the self proclaim...

Ending pollution requires a change of attitudes

NOVANEWS By Graham Peebles Pollution has become an everyday affair. It is a murderous way of life which, according to a report published in The Lancet, is responsible for the deaths of at least nine million people every year. The air we breathe is poisoned, the streams, rivers, lakes and oceans are filthy — some more, some less — the land littered with waste, the soil toxic. Neglect, complacency and exploitation characterise the attitude of governments, corporations and far too many individuals towards the life of the planet, and its rich interwoven ecological systems. The Lancet Commission on Pollution and Health, which is yet another cry for urgent collective action, found that pollution is responsible for a range of diseases which “kill one in every six people around the world”. This ...

Cognitive Dissonance in Davos

NOVANEWS President Donald Trump (r) shakes hands with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu during a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting in Davos, eastern Switzerland, Jan. 25, 2018. (PHOTO NICHOLAS KAMM/AFP/Getty Images) Watching Trump dangle aid before the besieged Palestinians while seated next to the largest recipient of U.S. assistance was grotesque. Speaking at the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on Thursday, U.S. President Donald J. Trump again threatened to cut aid to the Palestinians, citing, among other complaints, their objection to his recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. The comments came as Trump shared the stage with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, whose country is the world's la...
