LEBANON MOSSAD AGENTS

NOVANEWS Lebanon Strikes Back, continues round-up of alleged Mossad agents August 29, 2010 by Michael Leon Lebanon Minister of State Jean Ogassapian By Wayne Madsen in OpinionMaker Lebanese counter-intelligence continues to round up a number of alleged Mossad agents embedded inside the Lebanese political structure and telecommunications sector, according to reports reaching WMR from Beirut. Although Hezbollah provided Daniel Bellmare and his UN Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) office in Beirut with six DVDs showing Israeli surveillance drone footage of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri’s locations prior to his remote bombing assassination in February 2005, Bellemare wants Hezbollah to turn over more data on how Hezbollah was able to intercept Israel command and control communications...

AMERICA WORKING TO DESTABILIZE PAKISTAN

NOVANEWS August 29, 2010 by Raja Mujtaba By Raja Mujtaba in OpinionMaker I received an email from a friend Hamid Rajput; a keen surfer who always digs out something interesting and useful. I must appreciate his keenness and choice of the reports that he brings out from the oceans of cyberworld. If such dig outs by Hamid become a routine then I might make ‘Off The Net’ a regular column for Opinion Maker. Of late there has been lot of noise from the American media and state office accusing Pakistan for funding, aiding the Taliban. Besides that American State Office has developed a habit to pass blames on to Pakistan without looking in their own kitchen where everything is being cooked. What is more glaring that in most cases the US uses the same words and phrases that the Indians do. A...

AFGHAN WMD COLLATERAL DAMAGE 'PART 2'

NOVANEWS COL. EUGENE KHRUSHCHEV: UNAMA HR devil’s advocate: part two. Afghan WMD collateral damage August 29, 2010 by Col. Evgeny Khrushchev UNAMA HR devil’s advocate: part two. Afghan WMD collateral damage By Col. Eugene Khrushchev (ret.) STAFF WRITER/Editor The Methodology section offers contradicting disclaimers that effectively negate the veracity of the 2010 mid-year report: • “The non-combatant status of the reported victims…cannot be conclusively established or is disputed” • “UNAMA HR …does not presume fighting-age males are civilians” • “UNAMA HR is under-reporting civilian casualties.” The problem is not just a margin of error of civilian casualties due to the fuzzy delineation of the non-combatant status and the blurred line between civilians & combatants. The fundament...

SECRET AL QAEDA TRAINING TAPE

NOVANEWS GORDON DUFF: VETERANS TODAY RELEASES SECRET AL QAEDA TRAINING TAPE August 28, 2010 by Gordon Duff “DOWNLOADED FROM THE INTERNET” LIKE SITE INTELLIGENCE DOES By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor Just in time for the 9/11 “celebrations” in New York, the “idiotfests” prostesting the Fox News financed “terror mosque” or the “save the Constitution” rallies for the “bring back slavery” white supremist crowd, also financed by more Israeli-Americans tied to American fascism, this video mysteriously appears. We didn’t get it from the Mossad or the CIA. Friends from Afghanistan sent the link to me last night via their secret server in the caves near Tora Bora. (They work for the United Nations….I think they are studing the mating habits of bats.) The link led me to a secret J...

KEY KARZAI AID IN CORRUPTION INQUIRY IS LINKED TO C.I.A.

NOVANEWS August 26, 2010 by Michael Leon By DEXTER FILKINS and MARK MAZZETTI in the NYT KABUL, Afghanistan — The aide to President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan at the center of a politically sensitive corruption investigation is being paid by the Central Intelligence Agency, according to Afghan and American officials. Mohammed Zia Salehi, the chief of administration for the National Security Council, appears to have been on the payroll for many years, according to officials in Kabul and Washington. It is unclear exactly what Mr. Salehi does in exchange for his money, whether providing information to the spy agency, advancing American views inside the presidential palace, or both. Mr. Salehi’s relationship with the C.I.A. underscores deep contradictions at the heart of the Obama administ...

PAKISTAN & THE SUM OF ALL FEARS

NOVANEWS August 25, 2010 by Dr. Ashraf Ezzat “Climate change with all its severity and unpredictability has become a reality for 170 million Pakistanis” By Dr. Ashraf Ezzat A Pakistani family caught up in the flood. Standing on the corner of the third world…years go by and the third world hardly changes, years go by and the third world hardly develops…years go by and the third world is caught up in a vicious circle of despair .

They yearn for the prosperity they were promised by government after another and for which they have paid a heavy price. But Poverty is all they know and poverty is all they know they want to live without. And when the catastrophic floods hit Pakis...

UNHAPPY TALIBAN

NOVANEWS Gen. James Conway: Afghan withdrawal will be pushed back at least “a few years” to make the Taliban unhappy August 25, 2010 by Michael Leon Marine Commandant Gen. James Conway From Democracy Now: Top US Marine: Withdrawal Deadline Boosting Taliban Morale The top US Marine is questioning the Obama administration’s non-binding timetable for beginning a US withdrawal from Afghanistan next year. On Tuesday, General James Conway said the July 2011 target date is boosting the morale of Taliban fighters. Gen. James Conway: “In terms of the July ’11 issue, you know, I think if you—if you follow it closely, and of course we all do, we know the President was talking to several audiences at the same time when he made his comments on July 2011. In some ways, we think, right now, it’s pr...

SECTARIAN ARABS

25 Aug 2010 By now, everything that needs to be said about the 'spontaneous' 'non-sectarian''non-political' 'isolated' clashes that took place in Beirut on the night of Wednesday 25th August has been said. No matter the level of outrage, sadness and despair expressed by the Lebanese, they will all calmly get back to their Iftars and their cocktail parties while avoiding Burj Abi Haidar for the next 48 hours. What grabbed my attention in the meantime were the stale stock phrases used by a number of politicians that seemed to echo the discourse of the civil war we thought had long been buried. The lowering of expectations is now in fashion across the board. Fares Soueid led the way with his call for a ' demilitarised Beirut' , a slogan popular circa 1987, as if the rest of the countr...
