Getting To Assange Through Manning
By Glenn Greenwald

http://www.countercurrents.org/greenwald171210.htm

Federal investigators "are looking for evidence of any collusion" between WikiLeaks and Bradley Manning -- "trying to find out whether Mr. Assange encouraged or even helped" the Army Private leak the documents -- and then "charge him as a conspirator in the leak, not just as a passive recipient of the documents who then published them." To achieve this, it is particularly important to "persuade Private Manning to testify against Mr. Assange." I want to make two points about this. This raises several questions about investigative journalism

Cancun Agreement Stripped Bare
By Bolivia's Dissent
By Nick Buxton

http://www.countercurrents.org/buxton171210.htm

Bolivia's indefatigable negotiator, Pablo Solon, put it most cogently in the concluding plenary, when he said that the only way to assess whether the agreement had any 'clothes' was to see if it included firm commitments to reduce emissions and whether it was enough to prevent catastrophic climate change


Manufacturing Discontent
By Gregory Vickrey

http://www.countercurrents.org/vickery171210.htm

Manufacturing discontent is an important method for the climate movement to employ in order to implement sound reasoning for moving away from modern capitalism and its predatory effects to something of the people. It is probably the most important component, because learning the truth about corporate control of our lives inherently leads to discontent amongst all but the richest in society

By Ramzy Baroud

http://www.countercurrents.org/baroud171210.htm

It is the very balance between destruction and rebuilding, despair and hope, occupation and perseverance that makes the Palestinian people powerful. Their power cannot be demonstrated in numbers, but it can be felt, experienced, and understood. " The Plight of the Palestinians: A Long History of Destruction" spreads the seeds of understanding, which is so essential to any meaningful and lasting change


Censorship And Genocide Ignoring By Australian
Mainstream Media and WikiLeaks
By Dr Gideon Polya

http://www.countercurrents.org/polya171210.htm

Two major features of WikiLeaks are that (1) the leaked US cables simply provide documentary confirmation what sensible people had surmised already about the conduct of the US Alliance; and (2) the real scandal is that neither WikiLeaks nor Mainstream media (MSM) will report the horrendous carnage of 8 million dead so far in the US War on Terror. Below is documentary evidence of how one of Australia 's leading newspapers, The Age (Melbourne), actively censors reportage of this ongoing, largely Muslim Holocaust

By Devinder Sharma

http://www.countercurrents.org/dsharma171210.htm

The multinational giant Procter&Gamble will now utilise the government machinery to sell its products, thereby opening up a marketing channel that the private companies had never thought of. Socialising the costs, and privatising the profits. Isn't this a remarkable marketing strategy?


Post Babri Masjid-Ramjanmabhoomi Verdict:
Whither Indian Democracy?
By Teesta Setalvad

http://www.countercurrents.org/setalvad171210.htm

The September 30 2010 verdict in the Babri Masjid-Ramjanmabhoomi case, that began as a dispute over a title suit but escalated into a full blown politico-religious conflict--- one that legitimized the criminal assault on a 450 plus year old mosque as also targeted minority life and property--- has raised serious issues for the future of Indian democracy given the fact that the verdict was disproportionately based on issues of contested faith and disputed histories

By Mahtab Alam

http://www.countercurrents.org/alam161210.htm

Do you think extremist organizations of Sangh Parivar would ever be banned? Many would say it would not ever but it should be. But, the question is that, is banning a solution? No matter, what is the colour of extremism, Red, Green or Bhagwa. Certainly, it is not a solution
