If The Sea Is In Trouble, We Are All In Trouble
 By Sylvia Earle

http://www.countercurrents.org/earle250611.htm

The ocean is a living system that makes our lives possible. Even if you never see the ocean, your life depends on its existence. With every breath you take, every drop of water you drink, you are connected to the sea


The Oceans May Have Already Passed Breaking Point
 By Jean-Luc Solandt

 By Seán Clinton

http://www.countercurrents.org/clinton250611.htm

Diamonds are Israel's number one export commodity. The Israeli diamond industry contributes about $1 billion annually to the Israeli military and security industries. Every time somebody buys a diamond that was exported from Israel some of that money ends up in the Israeli military

Relevance Of V.P.Singh And His Politics
 By Vidya Bhushan Rawat

http://www.countercurrents.org/rawat250611.htm
