Ahmadinejad: “Chavez is always alive to his friends

NOVANEWS Iranian President Dr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made the remark during a meeting with new Venezuelan ambassador, Amenhotep Zambrano, on Monday.

NOVANEWS Capitalism talks, socialism achieves Photo caption: Urban agriculture in Cuba This article was published in the 'How to Save the Environment: END CAPITALISM!' Edition of Liberation. View the complete issue. Several years ago, the World Wildlife Fund called Cuba the only country in the world to have achieved sustainable development, which it measures as the improvement of the quality of human life within the carrying capacity of a country’s ecosystem.

Nicolas Maduro victorious against Venezuelan opposition

NOVANEWS The US wants rid of the ‘dangerous example’ being set to workers and peasants in its ‘back yard’. On 14 April this year, just over a month after the death of Comrade Hugo Chávez, the election for his successor took place in Venezuela. Five days later, Chávez’s vice-president and endorsed successor Nicolás Maduro was being sworn in as president. His victory was, of course, hotly contested by opposition candidate Henrique Capriles. Backed by both Venezuelan and US corporate media, the opposition’s calls of foul play – begun long before polling day – have been amplified by their masters in Washington, with the Obama regime refusing to recognise the election and continuing to fuel the opposition’s claims. Post-election violence Following his defeat at the polls, Capr...

Obama's Contempt for Venezuelan Democracy

NOVANEWS   Contributed by Stephen Lendman In sections: Obama's Contempt for Venezuelan Democracy - by Stephen Lendman It's no surprise. He exceeds the worst of George Bush. He abhors democratic values. He defiles rule of law principles. He governs by diktat authority. He's waging war on humanity. He targets all independent states. He wants puppet pro-US regimes replacing them. Venezuela is hugely important. It's the oil, stupid. Venezuelan reserves are the world's largest. Its democracy is real. It shames America's sham system. It's the best democracy money can buy. Each electoral cycle proves it. Business as usual reflects it. Money power runs things. Duopoly power rules. Republicans and Democrats are two sides of the same coin. Not a dime's worth of difference separates them. Each...

NOVANEWS Probability of Getting First Audit Results if Vote Count Was Stolen is Less than One in 25 Thousand Trillion WASHINGTON - May 9 - A statistical analysis of the voting machine audit from Venezuela’s April 14 election, done on the day of the election, shows that this audit was decisive.  The odds of getting the April 14 audit result if in fact the unaudited machines contained enough errors to reverse the election outcome are far less than one in 25 thousand trillion.  A new paper details and explains the statistical analysis behind the results that CEPR has previously made public. “There is really no doubt at all about this election result,” said Mark Weisbrot, CEPR co-Director and co-author of the paper. “The Obama administration must know that auditing the remaining voting machi...
