Oust Trump, War With Russia

NOVANEWS By Finian CUNNINGHAM Behind the sensational Western media coverage now linking the US president’s son to alleged Russian collusion in the American election, the real euphoria stems from relief that, at last, some «evidence» has been found. For more than seven months now, the US corporate media have been running unrelenting claims that somehow Donald J Trump colluded with Russian state-sponsored hackers to get elected over his Democrat rival Hillary Clinton. The media campaign has been dismissed as a witch hunt by Trump. Perhaps more sinisterly, US-Russia relations have also become deeply toxic due to the allegations. Not even a friendly meeting between Trump and Putin at last weekend’s G20 summit in Germany seems able to lift the poisonous cloud over bilateral relations. Howe...

Truth vs Donald Trump

NOVANEWS By Lawrence Davidson Grandiose delusional disorder During the presidential campaign I often referred to Donald Trump as a congenital liar, but it is possible that in doing so I made a “category mistake”. By definition liars, even chronic ones, belong to a category of people who know that there is truth from which their lies deviate. I am not sure that accurately describes President Trump’s state of mind. Perhaps a more accurate way of describing Trump’s outlook is that it presents as a grandiose delusional disorder. People with this sort of disorder seem not to be able to discern what is real from what they want to be real. Their beliefs do not have to be bizarre but can appear as persistent misrepresentations that are either false or gross exaggerations. One sort of delusional...

How Trump Could Be a Truth-teller

NOVANEWS By Robert Parry One positive thing about a change in party control of the White House is that the new occupants sometimes release information that the old residents kept hidden because the facts were politically embarrassing or did not support some favored policy. We saw this in the first days of the Obama administration when President Barack Obama declassified some documents relating to President George W. Bush’s internal policy debates about torture and other abuses from the “war on terror.” However, as yet, we have seen nothing similar from the Trump administration even though some truth-telling might work very well for President Donald Trump, especially given his reputation for getting facts wrong. A commitment to transparency – giving some truth to the American people on ...

How the ‘Alt-Right’ Builds On Earlier Far-Right Upsurges

NOVANEWS By: Matthew N. Lyons Combination photo of U.S. neo-Nazi giving a "Roman salute" (L) and presidential adviser and former Breitbart chief editor Steve Bannon. | Photo: Reuters The "alt-right" network has brought together multiple currents, from neo-Nazis to men's rights activists, right-wing anarchists to neo-reactionaries. The day after Donald Trump's upset electoral victory over Hillary Clinton, "alt-right" founder Richard Spencer declared that his movement was "the new Trumpian vanguard" — offering ideological direction to Donald Trump's fuzzy-headed populism. Spencer and his comrades have generally supported President Trump's early measures but they want more — a total ban on all immigration, for instance — and instead of Trump's dog whistle appeals, th...

Trump became president by something like a miracle but will need a miracle to continue

NOVANEWS ترامب أصبح رئيساً بما يشبه المعجزة، و سيحتاج إلى معجزة كي يستمر بقلم منذر هنداوي لا أحد يستطيع قراءة المستقبل كما يقرأ الماضي. لكن ربما تدلنا بعض المؤشرات على ما يمكن أن يحصل. ترامب لم يكن قط رجل سياسة. كان رجل أعمال ناجح. و لكنه أيضاً ليس كباقي رجال الأعمال العاملين في مجال الصناعة او التجارة او البرمجيات أو في القطاع المالي كالبنوك و التأمين… مجاله كان عالم المراهنات في المصارعة و النوادي الليلة و الفنادق. أسلوبه يشبه اُسلوب رئيس مافيا إيطالية من حيث اللباس و المظهر الأنيق اللافت و توجيه الأوامر. في حديثه ثقة كبيرة و زائدة عن حدها لدرجة قد يردع من يتحدث إليهم من مخالفته. مصافحته كأنها مكاسرة بين مصارعين يريد منها إدخال الرعب في الخصم قبل بدء المصارعة. و أقصد تحديدا تلك المصارعة الأمريكية العنيفة و التي غالباً ما تكون مفبركة لكنها مثيرة للمتابعة. عنصريته و فوقيته لا يمكن إخ...

Trump Attacks Middle Eastern and North African Immigrants… People Fight Back… TAKE IT HIGHER!d

NOVANEWS Revolution Newspaper This past week and a half has seen an extremely important and very inspiring outpouring of struggle against the Trump-Pence regime’s attempt to ban Muslim immigrants from seven countries in the Middle East and North Africa. Thousands poured out to airports as soon as news of this ban spread, and at least tens of thousands more have demonstrated all week long, from New York City to Starksville, Mississippi, from Utah to LA. Hundreds of lawyers volunteered their services. As we go to press, Trump’s order has been legally stayed for the time being; but what will happen is far from certain. An Outrageous Ban What IS Fascism? Fascism is the exercise of blatant dictatorship by the bourgeois (capitalist-imperialist) class, ruling through reliance on open terror an...

Trump winds up “the” organization of US imperialism

NOVANEWS by Thierry Meyssan Donald Trump has just undertaken the most important reform of the administrative structures in the United States for more than 69 years. He has just put an end to the imperial project and is reshaping his country into a State like any other. Update (31 January 2017): in light of the indignant reactions on the part of the US ruling class, Donald Trump has announced through his spokesperson that this Memorandum would be amended - probably to authorize the Director of the CIA to have a permanent seat on the Council. A meeting of the Council for National Security chaired by President Obama With a view to reshaping the system of governance established in 1947, President Trump has published a Memorandum on the Organization of the National Securi...

Anti-Donald Trump: war propaganda

NOVANEWS by Thierry Meyssan Our previous articles concerning President Trump have caused some fierce reactions from our readers. Some of them have been wondering about the naïvety apparently displayed by Thierry Meyssan despite the warnings issued by the international Press and the accumulation of negative signals. Here is his response, well-reasoned as always. Two weeks after his investiture, the Altantist Press continues with its work of disinformation and agitation against the new President of the United States of America. Trump and his new collaborators are multiplying declarations and gestures which are apparently contradictory, so that it is difficult to understand what is going on in Washington. The anti-Trump campaign The bad faith of the Atlantist Press can be ...

Where’s the Outrage over US Imperial Wars?

NOVANEWS By Stephen Lendman Days of protests in America against Trump’s entry into America order smack of dark forces manipulating and agitating against him no matter what he does or doesn’t do. Denigration of Muslims is longstanding in America, taken to a fever pitch post-9/11, wrongfully portraying them as gun-toting terrorists, using them as a pretext to smash one country after another, responsible for appalling levels of carnage and human misery? Where’s the outrage over an issue dwarfing all others? Why aren’t people furious about imperial madness, possible nuclear war if not curbed? Why aren’t they protesting against bloated military spending and America’s empire of bases – used as launching pads for more wars? Where’s the outrage over mega-corporations ruling the world, exploi...

The Neocon Lament

NOVANEWS Nobody wants them in Trump’s Washington By Philip Giraldi There is no limit to the hubris driven hypocrisy of America’s stalwart neoconservatives. A recent Washington Post front page article entitled “‘Never Trump’ national-security Republicans fear they have been blacklisted” shares with the reader the heartbreak of those so-called GOP foreign policy experts who have apparently been ignored by the presidential transition team seeking to staff senior positions in the new administration. Author David Nakamura describes them as “some of the biggest names in the Republican national security firmament, veterans of past GOP administration who say, if called upon by President-elect Donald Trump, they stand ready to serve their country again.” “But,” Nakamura adds, “their phones ar...
