 Permafrost Melt Soon Irreversible
Without Major Fossil Fuel Cuts
By Stephen Leahy

http://www.countercurrents.org/leahy210911.htm

Thawing permafrost is threatening to overwhelm attempts to keep the planet from getting too hot for human survival. Without major reductions in the use of fossil fuels, as much as two-thirds of the world's gigantic storehouse of frozen carbon could be released, a new study reported. That would push global temperatures several degrees higher, making large parts of the planet uninhabitable

Earth Activism: What We Don't Want
By Subhankar Banerjee

http://www.countercurrents.org/banerjee210211.htm

The EPA is under attack from the Republicans, and we must fight to protect the very agency that works to protect public and ecological health in America. Is this a private fight or can anyone get in it? That was the title of Bill Moyers' keynote speech at the 2011 History Makers conference. Earth activism is a public fight. Please join in and say what you don't want in your community

The Veto And The Case For Impeaching President Obama
By Alan Hart

http://www.countercurrents.org/hart210211.htm

Never before has an American President's fear of offending the Zionist lobby and its stooges in Congress been so exposed as it was by Obama's decision to veto the Security Council resolution condemning continued, illegal Israeli settlement activities on the occupied West Bank and demanding that Israel "immediately and completely cease" all such activities. In a different America – an informed America – some might think, I do, that Obama should be impeached. The charge? TREASON


"We The Forgotten People Of The United States ..."
By William A. Cook

http://www.countercurrents.org/cook210211.htm

Let's admit it, the country has been stolen. We thought we had used the democratic process to rid our country of George W. Bush by the peaceful election of a man who told Americans he would right the wrongs of that Zionist Cabal. Instead we have a houseboy doing the chores of his Mars, Netanyahu. How far can he fall?


U.S. Veto: Speaking With Forked-tongue
By Jim Miles

http://www.countercurrents.org/miles210211.htm

The U.S. has continually used its forked tongue for its own benefit in any "negotiations" it has carried out. This originated from the first negotiated treaties with the indigenous people of North America - at least those that were not simply outlawed and made subject to massacres and murder without recourse to any law of any kind. It continues today with its UN rhetoric and with its rhetoric about its concerns for Palestine and Israel


The Myth Of The U.N. Creation Of Israel
By Jeremy R. Hammond

http://www.countercurrents.org/hammond210211.htm

Many of the historical beliefs, which have percolated down to us, are based on half-truths or on no truths at all. According to independent political analyst Jerry R. Hammond, the predominant view regarding the creation of Israel, which lies at the core of the so-called Israeli-Palestinian conflict, is no exception. He renders a detailed account of a manipulation, injustice and UN failure to abide by its own rules, which have wreaked political turmoil and humanitarian catastrophe in the Middle East region for more than sixty years

Revolution Handbook For Americans
By Joel S. Hirschhorn

http://www.countercurrents.org/hirschhorn210211.htm

Those Americans who like me thirst for reforms that restore American democracy should download the free Sharp handbook and study its findings. Sharp has said "If people are not afraid of the dictatorship, that dictatorship is in big trouble." Add this: If people are not aware of the dictatorship, that dictatorship is in great shape


Tea Party Stooges Join Wisconsin Protests
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman210211B.htm

Anger is spreading and may erupt anywhere at a time workers are struggling to save hard-won labor rights, targeted for elimination. As Wisconsin goes, so goes America perhaps
