NOVANEWS  by Bob Higgins * By Janie Lorber New York Times The dogs learn to fetch, turn lights on and off and even dial 911. Photo: Stephen Crowley/The New York Times WASHINGTON — Just weeks after Chris Goehner, 25, an Iraq war veteran, got a dog, he was able to cut in half the dose of anxiety and sleep medications he took for post-traumatic stress disorder. The night terrors and suicidal thoughts that kept him awake for days on end ceased. At the Mid-Orange Correctional Facility in Warwick, N.Y., service dogs share a room with the prisoners who help train them. Aaron Ellis, 29, another Iraq veteran with the stress disorder, scrapped his medications entirely soon after getting a dog — and set foot in a grocery store for the first time in three years. The dogs to whom they credit their ...

NOVANEWS 05 April 2010 SHEIKH JARRAH RESIDENT HOSPITALIZED AFTER INTERVENING IN ATTEMPTED STABBING BY SETTLER  Earlier today in Sheikh Jarrah, East Jerusalem, Zionist settlers attacked Palestinian residents and international solidarity activists, five of whom sustained injuries.  The settlers were armed with stones and sticks. According to eyewitnesses, one settler was wielding a knife.  A group of approximately twenty Zionist settlers entered the neighborhood and began throwing stones at three women from the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI), hitting and lightly injuring each of them.   Five Palestinian residents moved up the street towards the settlers in an attempt to stop the stone throwing, at which point the settlers began attacking them with sticks. ...

NOVANEWS  by Michael Leon Pope Benedict XVI Covers Up Child Molesters  The Catholic News Service reports that increased media coverage of the Pope shielding pedophiles is “prompted by the Devil.”  And reportedly, the Catholic hierarchy in response is rallying around the Pope on Easter Sunday.   The Vatican is going to need a bigger rally: From the Huffington Post: The abuse cases of two priests in Arizona have cast further doubt on the Catholic church’s insistence that Pope Benedict XVI played no role in shielding pedophiles before he became pope. Documents reviewed by The Associated Press show that as a Vatican cardinal, the future pope took over the abuse case of the Rev. Michael Teta of Tucson, Ariz., then let it languish at the Vatican for years despite repeated pleas from the bisho...

NOVANEWS  by Gordon Duff ARMED AND FINANCED ALMOST ENTIRELY BY AMERICA AND INDIA THE  TALIBAN “ENEMY” IS OUR OWN CREATION By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor Two years ago analysts claimed most of the Taliban were fighting America simply because “they were there.”  Though this may be true to some extent still, other factors have made this statement obsolete.  Not only is America financing the Taliban, we are arming it and, through our ally India, training it as well.  This is the “understory” behind the news that is never reported and the reports handed out to the press. First we started by blaming the Taliban for the massive increase in narcotics production after the Taliban were forced out of power.  Is it a coincidence that America invaded Afghanistan after Al Qaeda and bin Lade...

NOVANEWS April 3, 2010 by Gordon Duff Who’s Afraid of 9/11 Conspiracy Theories? By Maidhc O’Cathail for Veterans Today  “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.” —Queen Gertrude, Hamlet.  Whenever someone insists too strongly about something not being true, we tend to suspect that maybe it is. In their denials of involvement in 9/11, do Israel’s apologists “protest too much”?  While it would take a small book to adequately document the Israeli connection to 9/11—as Antiwar.com editor Justin Raimondo has attempted in The Terror Enigma—let us briefly recall some of the more intriguing facts as reported in the mainstream media, involving dancing Israelis, Odigo warnings, and Zim’s timely move.  The story of the five Israelis who were seen celebrating and filming as the Twin Towers burned...

NOVANEWS GULBUDDIN HIKMATYAR, “BUSH TERRORIST MASTERMIND” AND BIN LADEN ASSOCIATE WORKING FOR U.S.? WHAT ELSE HAVE WE BEEN LYING ABOUT? By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor For many months, our sources in Pakistan, including the country’s top military advisers, have been telling us that “top terrorist” Gulbuddin Hikmatyar, a man being hunted by the Delta Force, CIA and thousands of American troops, was advising American negotiations to end the war in Afghanistan.  We had been told that he had been a “trusted source” for many years, including the years that the US listed him as a top bin Laden lieutenant.  If this was true, and we have since learned it is, then most of what we had all been told about the Bush “war on terror” had been total baloney. Friends in Afghanistan have known Hi...

NOVANEWS Obama Celebrates Passover at White House At right: Official White House photo of the 2009 Seder. As I've demonstrated in several posts on this blog, Passover is part of a Judaic culture of death. Well, late last month the New York Times reported on "the story of the Obama Seder, now one of the newest, most intimate and least likely of White House traditions." One wonders how unlikely is it that Obama--the "first Jewish president"--would hold a Passover seder in the White House. According to the Times, Obama's been celebrating them at least since 2008. That seder took place "at the bleakest point of the campaign, the long prelude to the Pennsylvania primary, which was dominated by a furor over Mr. Obama's former pastor" i. e. the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, an anti-Zionist and liberation...

NOVANEWS Asylum seekers are all looking for a better life Posted: 03 Apr 2010 08:54 PM PDT The New York Times published a very helpful chart in 2007 that showed the mass movement of refugees around the world: Nearly 190 million people, around three percent of the world’s population, lived outside their country of birth in 2005. A look at the flow of peple around the globe.

NOVANEWS by Jeff Davis The Republican Party pretends to be for lower taxes, and most White people think they support gun ownership and the general interests of White people, but nothing could be further from the truth. Republican politicians are whores for big business and the Zionist lobby. It is possible to influence politicians a little bit on certain issues, by calling them up everyday and screaming at them when an important issue comes up. And that’s exactly what we’ll have to do to block Obama’s Amnesty scheme –assuming we have a chance. Amnesty was shot down in 2007, but the Democrats have a large majority in Congress now, and Amnesty might get rammed through against our will just like health care. One of the things which is vitally necessary to understand the upcoming Obama-choreog...

The British National Party has sacked its publicity chief after he was arrested on suspicion of threatening to kill its leader Nick Griffin, according to reports. Party bosses also accused Mark Collett, 29, who appeared in a documentary called Young, Nazi and Proud while a student in Leeds, of trying to launch a "palace coup" against Mr Griffin.
