NOVANEWS By: JAMES PETRAS    Posted by: Sammi Ibranhem,Sr Introduction In recent weeks the White House has embraced the contemporary version of the world’s most murderous regimes.

The White House warmly greeted the electoral success of Brazilian Presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro, ardent champion of torturers, military dictators, death squads and free marketers.

I’m Janine Jackson. This week on CounterSpin: Brazil’s new president, Jair Bolsonaro, has said he supports dictatorship and torture, that religious and ethnic “minorities must fit in or simply disappear,” that his political opponents should “leave or go to jail,” that the only problem with Brazil’s military dictatorship is that they didn’t kill enough people, that police should have “carte blanche” to kill whoever they like, and that he’d rather his own son be dead than be gay.

While Zionist Lobby Blocks BDS in Chile at the Local Level, National-Level BDS Looms

NOVANEWS While Israel Lobby Blocks BDS in Chile at the Local Level, National-Level BDS Looms By Whitney Webb | Mint Press News  SANTIAGO, CHILE — After the Chilean city of Valdivia became the first municipality in Latin America to support the non-violent Boycott, Divest and Sanctions (BDS) movement this past June, the Chilean government has now ruled that it is illegal to boycott Israel at the municipal level throughout the entire country.

BRAZIL: From Rousseff to Bolsonaro – A Demonstration of How the Old Elites Win

NOVANEWS Posted by: Sammi Ibrahem,Sr The rise of Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil seems to be further proof that pretty much the entire planet is moving in a counter-clockwise direction.

I wrote at length here a few weeks ago about all of the madness, misinformation and *reality* of the ‘Migrant Caravan’ from Honduras to the US: and that’s going to be relevant again to this subject of what’s going on in Brazil. We really have entered into an extraordinary age of mass manipulation, popular stupidity, blind folly and open conspiracy. ‘Corruption’ is a massive factor too, of cou...

With Brazil’s Bolsonaro, ''Israel'' finds another natural partner on the far-right

NOVANEWS By Jonathan Cook in Nazareth The victory of Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil’s presidential election last week has won Israel a passionate new friend on the international stage. The world’s fifth most populous nation will now be “coloured in blue and white”, an Israeli official said, referring to the colours of Israel’s flag. The Israeli prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, immediately called to congratulate Bolsonaro, a former army officer with a pronounced nostalgia for his country’s 20-year military dictatorship. Critics describe him as a neo-fascist. According to Israeli media reports, it is “highly probable” that Netanyahu will attend Bolsonaro’s inauguration on 1 January. The Brazilian president-elect has already promised that his country will be the third to relocate its embassy t...
