America Facing Depression And Bankruptcy
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman270810.htm

"Twenty countries (including America) are headed into bankruptcy and more will follow. That brings up the subject of state debt in the US. America has been in an inflationary depression for 18 months. States have been cutting back for two years," but still face huge budget gaps required to be closed....2011 will be a terrible year (with) 80% of states expect(ing) deficits of more than $200 billion. 2012 looks even worse." Most worrisome, "there is no recovery and there never has been....the US economy and financial system is comatose." The worst is yet to come and will hit hard on arrival


Could This Be A Crime? U.S. Climate Bill  Is Dead While So Much Life On  Our Earth Continues To Perish
By Subhankar Banerjee

http://www.countercurrents.org/banerjee270810.htm

Global warming is a crisis: for all lands, for all oceans, for all rivers, for all forests, for all humans, for all birds, for all mammals, for all little creatures that we don't see... for all life. We need stories and actions from every part of our earth. So far, global warming communications have primarily focused on scientific information. I strongly believe that to engage the public, we need all fields of the humanities. It is to this end that I founded ClimateStoryTellers.org


Rajendra Pachauri Innocent Of Financial Misdealings But Smears Will Continue
By George Monbiot

http://www.countercurrents.org/monbiot270810.htm

A review of the IPCC chairman's financial relationships reveals a scrupulously honest man has been much maligned


Climate-Related Security Predictions Coming True
In Pakistan
By Matthew O. Berger

http://www.countercurrents.org/berger270810.htm

Analysts have been warning for several years that the impacts of climate change directly relate to the national security of the U.S. and other countries, but the link has never been so clear as it is today in northwest Pakistan


Beyond Oil: Activism And Politics
By Bill McKibben

Author and climate activist Bill McKibben on the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon disaster


Death By Growth
By Keith Harrington

http://www.countercurrents.org/harrington270810.htm

Despite all of our political instincts, despite all of the wise counsel of pollsters and PR gurus, we have to take the ultimate leap and start directly campaigning against the global religion, economic growth itself - the myth upon which the power of the fossil fuel gods thrive. Kill the myths, kill the dogma, and the gods die with them


Do Most Israelis And Many Other Jews
NEED To Feel Persecuted?
By Alan Hart

http://www.countercurrents.org/hart270810.htm

I have written and often say that very many if not most Jews do not want to know the truth of history as it relates to the making and sustaining of the conflict in and over Palestine that became Israel. An essential element of the truth being that Israel was created, mainly, by Zionist terrorism and ethnic cleansing


McCarthy In Israel
By Neve Gordon

http://www.countercurrents.org/gordon270810.htm

While in politics nothing is predetermined, Israel is heading down a slippery slope. Israeli academe is now an arena where some of the most fundamental struggles of a society are being played out. The problem is that instead of struggling over basic human rights, we are now struggling over the right to struggle


Why Americans Should Oppose Zionism
By Steven Salaita

http://www.countercurrents.org/salita270810.htm

Americans now have all the evidence they need for a reasonable and morally-sound conclusion, that Zionism produces a cruelty and truculence that they bankroll with their taxes and legitimize with either silence or consent. As a result, I am not arguing that Americans should reassess their level of support for Israel. I am arguing that Americans should oppose Zionism altogether. Perhaps in this way we might begin the long and difficult process of redeeming our own nation of its imperial sins


One Democratic State In Palestine
By Gilad Atzmon

http://www.countercurrents.org/atzmon270810.htm

Democracy can also be a genuine universal call. As it happens, it is the Palestinians who are teaching us what democracy is all about, what it stands for and why we favoured it in the first place. Read the Declaration of the Movement for One Democratic State (ODS) in Palestine. I assume that moral interventionists better visit the ODS conference in October so they gather that democracy is actually a humanist call


Five Books: Stories To Shape Life
By Susan Abulhawa

http://www.countercurrents.org/abulhawa270810.htm

Born to refugees of the 1967 Six Day War, Susan Abulhawa is the author of the novel Mornings In Jenin, the profits of which partly go to the children's charity she founded, Playgrounds for Palestine. She chooses five books about Palestine by Palestinian writers


Abbas' Position Isn't As Weak As It May Appear
By George S. Hishmeh

http://www.countercurrents.org/hishmeh270810.htm

In short, despite the view that Palestinian National Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is in a weaker position than Netanyahu, primarily because of Abbas' failure to win over Hamas and other groups, his strength stems from two facts: He does not have to sign anything he cannot live with; and should he pull out of the talks it will be in US President Barack Obama's best interest to immediately seek to revive the process


Whistle Blowing Is Not A Crime
By Tommi Avicolli-Mecca

http://www.countercurrents.org/mecca270810.htm

Formally charged by the military, Manning now faces a court martial and a possible 52 years in prison. The soldiers who murdered the 11 innocent people in the video are facing no charges



UN Slow To Respond To Gang Rape Of
Almost 200 Women In The Congo
By Eve Ensler

http://www.countercurrents.org/ensler270810.htm

Aid groups reported last week that Rwandan and Congolese rebels took over villages in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo and gang-raped almost 200 women and five young boys. The rapes occurred between July 30 and August 3, within miles of a United Nations peacekeeping base. A joint UN human rights team has now confirmed the rapes of 154 women


Rebranding Iraq: Playing With Numbers
And Human Lives
By Ramzy Baroud

http://www.countercurrents.org/baroud270810.htm

War is not about numbers and dates. It's about people, their rights, their freedom and their future. Re-branding the army and the war will provide none of this for grief-stricken and vulnerable Iraqis. The fact is, no one has won this war. And the occupation is anything but over


The Muslim Mosque New York City
And Freedom Of Religion In America
By Jack A. Smith

http://www.countercurrents.org/smith270810.htm

The precise location in New York City of a new community center that includes a Muslim mosque is being converted into a major national campaign issue by the conservative Republican Party as the Nov. 2 Congressional and state elections in the U.S. draw closer. The Muslim world is watching this development unfold with deep interest and some anxiety


Ground Zero: Build An All-Faith Peace Center
By Partha Banerjee

http://www.countercurrents.org/pbanerjee270810.htm

Here's a proposal for a new house of worship: What if we put our energy instead to build an all-faith peace center on that sacred ground, where all Americans would be able to come and pray for global peace, inclusion, understanding and tolerance in America, and denounce bigotry and violence of any kind?



The Emergence Of Two Faces Within Congress:
People's Voice Getting Stronger
By Devinder Sharma

http://www.countercurrents.org/dsharma270810.htm

In my understanding, Manmohan Singh is the prime minister only of the industry and for the industry. He is a victim of the illusion created by GDP growth. Rahul Gandhi on the other hand has made him see the ground reality a number of times, and I appreciate his (Rahul Gandhi's) role in making the prime minister do certain things that he would otherwise never do


The Phenomenon Of Saffron Terror,
Now It's Official
By Mustafa Khan

http://www.countercurrents.org/mkhan270810.htm

Home Minister P Chidambrum was not addressing humdrum 'aam aadmi' when he talked definitely about the saffron terrorism. He was addressing the director generals of police of all the states of India. Therefore the meeting assumes importance because it will be again the venue where the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh would address the following day

Peepli [Live]- Strange Days Have Found Us
By Sahil Kureshi

http://www.countercurrents.org/kureshi270810.htm

The film doesn't say anything about anything. All the film maker has done, in typical TV news channel style, is picked up a sensitive issue to attract attention to the film
