NOVANEWS Free Fire Zone Afghanistan (Part 7)  Investigations into the February 12th night raid in Khataba village in Afghanistan are discovering that the truth is worse than we could have imagined: US special forces soldiers dug bullets out of their victims’ bodies in the bloody aftermath of a botched night raid, then washed the wounds with alcohol before lying to their superiors about what happened, Afghan investigators have told The Times. Two pregnant women, a teenage girl, a police officer and his brother were shot on February 12 when US and Afghan special forces stormed their home in Khataba village, outside Gardez in eastern Afghanistan. The precise composition of the force has never been made public. The claims were made as Nato admitted responsibility for all the deaths for the fir...

A central vector of the police strategy to break this movement is to arrest and indict on trumped up charges, which are then dismissed by the courts. The activists are not supported by any organization and must pay the resulting legal fees themselves. Most are students without means. Sums involved are not huge and a small d...

NOVANEWS right — Billy Graham and Richard Nixon speak candidly about the danger of a Jewish controlled media left — Broken Cross in Urine — Anti-Christian symbolism in a Jewish extremist dominated American culture. In the conversation with Nixon, Rev. Billy Graham, the Southern Baptist evangelist expressed disdain for what he saw as Jewish domination of the media. “This stranglehold has got to be broken or this country’s going down the drain,” Graham said, agreeing with Nixon’s comments earlier in the conversation. “You believe that?” Nixon says in response. “Yes, sir,” says Graham. “Oh boy. So do I,” Nixon agrees, then says: “I can’t ever say that, but I believe it.” (From the Associated Press) I am a Christian, but I must also state that I am tolerant of other religious beliefs, and I...

NOVANEWS by Jeff Gates The history of Israel as a geopolitical fraud will fill entire libraries as those defrauded marvel at how so few deceived so many for so long. Those duped include many naive Jews who—even now—identify their interests with this extremist enclave. Israeli leaders are wrong to worry about “de-legitimization.” They are right to fear that a long-deceived public is fast realizing that Israel’s founding was key to an ongoing deception. The Invention of the Jewish People did not begin with Shlomo Sand’s 2009 bestseller by that title. There was no Exile says this Jewish scholar. Nor was there an Exodus. So how could there be a Return, the core premise of Israeli statehood? If this patch of Palestinian land never rightly belonged to a mythical Jewish People, what then for t...

NOVANEWS by Gordon Duff WIKILEAKS VIDEO EXPOSES 2007 “COLLATERAL MURDER” IN IRAQ By David Froomkin for Huffington Post (check site for additional video) Calling it a case of “collateral murder,” the WikiLeaks Web site today released harrowing until-now secret video of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter in Baghdad in 2007 repeatedly opening fire on a group of men that included a Reuters photographer and his driver — and then on a van that stopped to rescue one of the wounded men. None of the members of the group were taking hostile action, contrary to the Pentagon’s initial cover story; they were milling about on a street corner. One man was evidently carrying a gun, though that was and is hardly an uncommon occurrence in Baghdad. YouTube - Veterans Today - Reporters working for WikiLeaks d...

NOVANEWS  by Gordon Duff IF THERE IS ONE VIDEO THEN THERE IS TEN OR A HUNDRED DID BUSH WHITE HOUSE AUTHORIZE WANTON MURDER OF CIVILIANS IN IRAQ? By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor Today’s leak of an uncensored 2007 Iraq combat video showed troops operating without any regard for international law, rules of war and human decency.  This “real” video does one thing, it proves the others we have been seeing for years to be either staged events or total fabrications.  The rules of engagement observed in the leaked video tell the exact same story that the leaked photos did of our prison torture.  If America believed it is legal to torture and call it “interrogation” then it is just as likely that our former Attorney General, advising Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and working closely with Pr...

NOVANEWS This morning the New York Times covers a story that has been central to Israeli public debate for months: The ongoing campaign to silence dissent in Israel and suppress the local human rights community. Reporter Isabel Kershner does not name the official associated with the campaign nor specify the venue where the statement was made:  A senior Netanyahu aide affirmed in an interview last year that Israel was “going to dedicate time and manpower to combating these groups.”  Here is the full quote from the original article, by Herb Keinon, in the July 16 2009 edition of the Jerusalem Post  "We are going to dedicate time and manpower to combating these groups; we are not going to be sitting ducks in a pond for the human rights groups to shoot at us with impunity," said Ron Dermer, di...

NOVANEWS Journalists shouldn’t be silenced by Singapore An important essay by the New York Times’ Public Editor about the limits a Western news organisation should go to when appeasing dictatorships. I understand the dilemma but surely being able to write freely is paramount. And if one can’t write that, say, the leader of Singapore is an autocrat, then how much influence can you truly have? Apart from making money, of course: Last month, on the same day The New York Times praised Google for standing up to censorship in China, a sister newspaper, The International Herald Tribune, apologized to Singapore’s rulers and agreed to pay damages because it broke a 1994 legal agreement and referred to them in a way they did not like. The rulers had sued for defamation 16 years ago, saying a Herald...

NOVANEWS Wikileaks releases deadly video from Iraq that corporate hacks have not Yet another scoop from Wikileaks, one of the most important websites in the world: WikiLeaks has released a classified US military video depicting the indiscriminate slaying of over a dozen people in the Iraqi suburb of New Baghdad — including two Reuters news staff. Reuters has been trying to obtain the video through the Freedom of Information Act, without success since the time of the attack. The video, shot from an Apache helicopter gun-site, clearly shows the unprovoked slaying of a wounded Reuters employee and his rescuers. Two young children involved in the rescue were also seriously wounded. The military did not reveal how the Reuters staff were killed, and stated that they did not know how the childre...
