FTII Under Threat Of Privatization
By Saumyananda Sahi & Ruchir arun

http://www.countercurrents.org/arun151110.htm

The goverment of India is planning to privatize Film and Television Institute of India, Pune. For this purpose, the administration contracted Hewitt Associates, a US-based consultancy firm, to prepare a detailed proposal report, which has caused much anxiety and confusion among the students, teachers and staff on the campus, as none of the respective associations were taken into confidence during the preparation of the report


Preserve Our Blue Planet
By Dr. James E. Hansen

http://www.countercurrents.org/hansen151110.htm

Climate can be stabilized and the remarkable life on our planet can be preserved. But we must demand that governments serve the public and preserve our blue planet


STOP: Another One Hundred Years of
Fossil–Digging In North America?
By Subhankar Banerjee

http://www.countercurrents.org/banerjee151110.htm

Soon I'll will tell you about five Godzilla–scale fossil–digging projects in North America that if approved will set us on a course to repeat our past with grave implications for the future of our planet. You may have already heard about some of these projects individually, but the urgency to stop them collectively is more than ever before


Climate Crisis, The Arctic And Geopolitics
By Farooque Chowdhury

http://www.countercurrents.org/chowdhury151110.htm

Melting Arctic ice sheets, "contribution" of climate crisis, are altering geoeconomic and geopolitical environment. Agitating strategic setting in the Arctic carries implications for imperial stakeholders, which is actually interest of the capitals that these states serve. An ice-free Arctic will turn into a theatre of economic and political conflict with serious impact on geopolitics


Conversations With Fidel Castro:
The Dangers Of A Nuclear War
By Fidel Castro Ruz & Michel Chossudovsky

http://www.countercurrents.org/castro151110.htm

Fidel Castro's conversations with Professor Michel Chossudovsky


"Winning" A Nuclear War
By Timothy V. Gatto

http://www.countercurrents.org/gatto151110.htm

We have a situation in the United States and NATO, along with the belligerent State of Israel, where the ruling elite believe that it is ultimately possible to win a nuclear war. Think about that "To win a nuclear war" . Anyone with half a brain should consider this, and ask themselves the question of how is it possible to win a nuclear war?


Projecting Power or Promoting Peace:
The Prophetic Call For Justice, Kindness, Humility
By Robert Jensen

http://www.countercurrents.org/jensen151110.htm

We live in dark and dangerous times, and we know we cannot be seduced by those urging us to revert to religious, national, economic, or technological fundamentalisms, all of which would only exacerbate the danger. To whom should we listen? Listen to the cries of the dead from imperial wars. Listen to the cries of those suffering in a predatory economic system. Listen to the cries from the living world all around us. And, perhaps mostly importantly, listen to the cry of your own heart


Alienated Labor Revisited
By Peter Goodchild

http://www.countercurrents.org/goodchild151110.htm

The only answer to the global economy is the local economy. The unasked-for global community should be balanced by the local community, the tribe. Every time I produce my own goods and services, I am striking three blows against corporate feudalism: I am not increasing the income of a CEO in New York, I am no longer alienated from my own labor, and I cannot be laid off as redundant


COICA Could Be Voted Out Of Committee
As Soon As This Week
By Chris Pratt

http://www.countercurrents.org/pratt151110.htm

As proposed, COICA can blacklist, control or close down thousands of watchdog websites, sites like mine, bloggers, even You Tube for engaging in "infringing activities." With no due process or legal oversight this law would empower the Attorney General ( not the aggrieved party ) to initiate blacklisting activities and prevent access to infringing sites. It is a dangerous and ill defined piece of legislation that at the very least should be publicized and thoroughly discussed in the open


One-Sided Deal
By Neve Gordon

http://www.countercurrents.org/gordon151110.htm

In return for a three-month freeze of illegal construction in the occupied West Bank (but not in occupied East Jerusalem, where it may continue), Barack Obama has promised to deliver 20 F-35 fighter jets to Israel, a deal worth $3 billion


Vox Taxi – Vox Dei
By Uri Avnery

http://www.countercurrents.org/avnery151110.htm

If we want to move towards peace, we undoubtedly have to remove this huge rock blocking the road. We must infuse the public with another belief – the belief that peace is possible, that it is essential for the future of Israel, that it depends mainly on us


Internally Displaced Hunger

A look at hunger among internally displaced tribals from Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh states of India


The QE2: Bernanke Prints Again
By Sean Fenley

http://www.countercurrents.org/fenley151110.htm

This end-around; however, appears that it will reap little more than a bubble at best, and a currency war — and perhaps even a trade war — according to some of the least optimistic economic policy analysts and observers. Additionally, this may portend the finish for the dollar as the global reserve currency, and the twilight of the U.S. as a major military power on the international stage


Conservative Radio Show Hosts Stoke Up Hatred
By Dr. Habib Siddiqui

http://www.countercurrents.org/siddiqui151110.htm

Only by withdrawing sponsorship of advertisements and denying promotions of views of these bigots in the popular media can this battle against bigotry and hatred be won. And the Jewish media moguls and community leaders can play an important role in defeating this menace. Are they ready to stop hatred?


G-20: Worried About Corporates, Not People
By Devinder Sharma

http://www.countercurrents.org/dsharma151110.htm

Ian Fleming gave James Bond the licence to kill. G-20 fails to withdraw the licence to speculate. Global capital therefore continues to be on a killing spree


Recovering The Humanities, Revitalizing Democracy
By Rajesh Kumar Sharma

http://www.countercurrents.org/rajesh151110.htm

Timely infusion of critical funding could have renovated the old homes of humanities and built them into competitive sites of cultural production. But this was not done. Why? One can speculate. Along with marketable cultural production these sites might have spawned some unwelcome offspring: critique and dissent. Something the corporate education apparatus can be relied on to kill before birth


Long March Against Open Pit Mine And Disastrous
Deals With Oil MNCs In Bangladesh
By Anu Muhammad

http://www.countercurrents.org/amuhammad151110.htm

People from different parts in Bangladesh marched for seven days towards Phulbari, the place that becomes a symbol of resistance against imperialist plunder, to raise voice against global imperial power engaged in grabbing and plundering natural resources of the country


Colombia: Doing Business, Killing Workers
By Federico Fuentes

http://www.countercurrents.org/fuentes151110.htm

A November 4 World Bank and International Finance Corporation report, Doing Business 2011: Making a Difference for Entrepreneurs, ranked Colombia as the 39th most "business friendly environment" in the world. Missing from the report were the more than 500 unionists killed in Colombia over the past eight years, making up 60% of all unionists killed globally


Fact Finding Report On Kashmir

http://www.countercurrents.org/factkashmir.pdf

Fact finding report on Kashmir prepared by a team that visited Kashmir recently. The team comprised of academic Bela Bhatia, advocate Vrinda Grover, journalist Sukumar Muralidharan and activist Ravi Hemadri of The Other Media, a Delhi based campaign and advocacy organisation, at whose initiative the effort was organised


Kashmir: Dilemmas Of The Right Of Nations
To Self-Determination
By Rohini Hensman

http://www.countercurrents.org/hensman151110.htm

The repeal of AFSPA and other laws providing impunity for human rights violations by the army and other security forces would help to provide an atmosphere in which the people of Kashmir and the North-East could work out solutions that guarantee democracy and self-determination for all, and not just for a privileged or dominant section


Jammu and Kashmir National Democratic
Alliance :A Step In Right Direction
By Dr Shabir Choudhry

http://www.countercurrents.org/choudhry151110.htm

This initiative of NAP should be appreciated and all those who took part in this important conference should also be commended; as their hard work resulted in an alliance which could be of immense importance for the Kashmiri struggle, and especially for politics of Pakistani Administered Kashmir


Torture In US Prisons
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman151110A.htm

In March 2005, a UK Deborah Davis Channel 4 report titled, "Torture, Inc., America's Brutal Prisons" highlighted the horrors, including prisoners savaged by dogs, brutally shocked with cattle prods, burned by toxic chemicals, harmed by stun guns, beaten, stripped naked and abused in various other ways. Sound familiar? Welcome to mainland Guantanamo


American Style Free Trade
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman151110.htm

Agreements like NAFTA, DR-CAFTA, and various bilateral free trade agreements (FTAs) have proved hugely destructive, superseding national laws, sovereignty, labor rights, environmental concerns, and more


In Mumia Case, Judges Argue Penalty
While The People Argue Justice
By Mary Shaw

http://www.countercurrents.org/shaw151110.htm

How can true closure be achieved unless we are absolutely certain that justice was served in a fair and unbiased manner? Without that, we're not looking at justice, but rather at a case of reckless revenge against a conveniently controversial character


Liberating Thought: Toward An Independent
Mass Media
By Steven Fake

http://www.countercurrents.org/fake151110.htm

Revitalizing the labor movement – radicalizing and democratizing it as well as expanding membership – must be a crucial component of any successful social movement for a more civilized society. The creation of an independent, mass circulation community and labor press should go hand-in-hand with that goal. The freedom and independence of the population from ideological domination by elite interests is dependent upon it


Justifying The Murder Of Hem Chandra Pandey
By PUDR

http://www.countercurrents.org/pudr151110.htm

Peoples Union for Democratic Rights (PUDR) considers the raid and alleged recovery of "banned literature" and correspondence from Babita Pandey's rented accommodation in New Delhi by the Andhra Pradesh State Intelligence Bureau (APSIB) to be an attempt at justifying the cold blooded killing of her husband Hem Chandra Pandey and Cherukuri Rajkumar @ Azad. By showing him to be member of a banned organization, the APSIB and its political bosses want to suggest that Hem Chandra Pandey's alleged membership of a banned organisation somehow justifies his execution
