US Government Proposes To Put WikiLeaks On "Enemies List"
By WikiLeaks

http://www.countercurrents.org/wikileaks140111.htm

WikiLeaks today condemned calls from the chair of the House Committee on Homeland Security to "strangle the viability" of WikiLeaks by placing the publisher and its editor-in-chief, Julian Assange, on a US "enemies list" normally reserved for terrorists and dictators. Placement on the US "Specially Designated National and Blocked Persons List" would criminalize US companies who deal with WikiLeaks or its editor


Climate Change Could Happen Much Faster Than
Previously Thought
By Louise Gray

http://www.countercurrents.org/gray140111.htm

The US study predicted that if society continues burning fossil fuels at the current rate, atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide could rise from the current level of 390 parts per million (ppm) to 1,000 by the end of this century. The last time the world had such high levels of carbon dioxide temperatures were on average 29F(16C) above pre-industrial levels. Evidence has been found of crocodiles and palm trees at the Poles and only small mammals were able to survive


Lebanon in Limbo: A Nation Haunted
By The Murder of Rafiq Hariri
By Robert Fisk

http://www.countercurrents.org/fisk140111.htm

Soldiers, soldiers everywhere. In the valleys, on the mountains, in the streets of Beirut. I have never seen so many soldiers. Are they going to "liberate" Jerusalem? Or are they going to destroy all the Arab dictatorships? They are supposed to stop the country of Lebanon from sliding into a civil war, I suppose

Failure of Academia: The Book That Was Not
Meant To Be Published
By Ramzy Baroud

http://www.countercurrents.org/baroud140111.htm

Deepak Tripathi's most recent book, Breeding Ground: Afghanistan and the Origins of Islamist Terrorism (Potomac Books) raises several issues, both within and outside of its content. It is based on research for his doctoral dissertation, the qualification for which he never received


Salam Fayyad: Israel's Man in Palestine
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman140111.htm

As prime minister, Fayyad's future depends on satisfying two masters, Israel and Washington, their divide and conquer agenda, solidifying occupation, continuing settlement expansions, entirely Judaizing Jerusalem, dominating the West Bank's economy, and containing all opposition factions


Turmoil in Tunisia: Rebellion
Challenges Neoliberalism
By Farooque Chowdhury

http://www.countercurrents.org/chowdhury140111.htm

Curfew covered Tunis, deployed troops, reported death of at least 66 protesters, demonstrators setting fire on government offices, mass protests, sacking of ministers have unmasked neoliberalism and its limits of power in seemingly politically stagnant Tunisia. Five suicides protesting unemployment and poverty have unplugged mass anger pent for decades against President Zine el Abindine's corruption-ridden iron rule for over two decades


Martin Luther King, Jr. And America Today
By Ron Forthofer

http://www.countercurrents.org/forthofer140111.htm

As we honor and celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, I wonder what he might make of the U.S. today. Perhaps his words can give us some insight


Planet Overkill
By Mickey Z.

http://www.countercurrents.org/mickeyz140111.htm

Humans undergo their most rapid growth during infancy and human breast milk has evolved over hundreds of thousands of years to become the perfect food to facilitate that growth. As stated earlier, it derives only 5.9 percent of its calories from protein. So, here's a question for everyone working two jobs just to afford their expensive protein supplements: If we need less than 6 percent of our calories from protein during a time of intense growth, why are we consuming so much protein as full-grown adults?


Salman Taseer Killing- A Postmortem
By Syed Ali Mujtaba

http://www.countercurrents.org/mujtaba140111.htm

Was the killing of Salman Taseer a political act or it was hyper reaction of a religious lunatic. There was definitely a lot of political grouse against Salman Taseer but the actual motivation to kill him did not stemmed from the political quarters, the religious incenses was the main flash point of his murder

Jared Lee Loughner And The Case For Single-Payer
By Billy Wharton

http://www.countercurrents.org/wharton140111.htm

The fallout from the shooting in Arizona has launched a thousand theories about the motives of the 22 year old shooter Jared Lee Loughner ranging from the interesting to the absurd. Yet, most miss a central point - Jared Lee Loughner, a deeply mentally disturbed young man, may not have been able to help himself even if he wanted to. You see, Loughner lives in the United States, a country where access to mental health services is blocked by a for-profit healthcare system


Obama in Tucson: Shame, Hypocrisy And Deceit
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman140111A.htm

Like all politicians, Obama shills for power, plays to the crowd, and hides ugly truths the public has a right to know. His Tucson remarks were no different, displaying intellectual bankruptcy by invoking scripture, heroism, and patriotism, while avoiding what most needed saying - the real cause of January 8th's violence
