Dear Friend,

Our fund raising drive is progressing at a snail's pace. We only managed to raise a quarter of our target of $ 5000. At this rate, I wonder we would ever reach our target! We need you to go forward. You can support us here http://www.countercurrents.org/subscription.htm

Dozens of protesters were killed in Syria Friday as security forces opened fire on demonstrations called one day after President Bashar al-Assad enacted partial concessions aimed at quelling the unrest


Mounting Libyan Death Toll From
US-NATO Bombings
By Barry Grey

http://www.countercurrents.org/grey240411.htm

The death toll in Libya from US, French and British air strikes continues to mount and promises to rise sharply as the imperialist powers escalate their attacks on both military and civilian targets


Al Jazeera's War On Gaddafi
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman230411A.htm

Based on its recent Libyan and Gulf states reporting (or lack thereof), Qatar-based Al Jazeera's credibility appears extremely compromised


Documentary Evidence Confirms
That Iraq War Was About Oil
By Ray McGovern

http://www.countercurrents.org/mcgovern230411.htm

If you don't tune in to Amy Goodman's Democracy Now or read the British press, you will have missed the latest documentary evidence showing that Great Britain's Lords and Ladies lied about how big oil companies, like BP, lusted after Iraqi oil in the months leading up to the attack on Iraq


Quarter Century Retrospective On
The Chernobyl Nuclear Accident
By Dr. Peter Custers

http://www.countercurrents.org/custers230411.htm

As a retrospective on the Chernobyl catastrophe easily brings out: one cannot trade one catastrophe against another; one can´t exchange a climate catastrophe for a nuclear catastrophe. On this anniversary we need a sacred pledge in favor of reliance on technologies that are productive, that squarely sustain all forms of life on planet earth


It Is Time For Obama To Demonstrate
True Courage And Statesmanship
By Iqbal Alimohamed

http://www.countercurrents.org/alimohamed230411.htm

Both Mr Obama and Mr Netanyahu have before them a historic opportunity to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and to leave a legacy of genuine and lasting peace in this embattled region They should strive hard, as Kennedy said, to seize the moment before the issue goes to the UN General Assembly


Pernicious Koch Brothers Political Influence
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman230411B.htm

With 2012 elections ahead, the Kochs plan to raise $88 million for potential Republican presidential candidates, besides millions more for House and Senate ones, as well as state and local officials

Beyond The Lokpal Bill
By Leo F. Saldanha

http://www.countercurrents.org/saldanha230411.htm

There is no effort to enquire whether the economic reforms aren't to blame for the sheer scale and grandeur of corruption in India today. Abhorring the thought of making such connections, the influential middle classes by and large believe that institutions such as the Lokpal and Lokayukta can and will tackle the malaise of graft


Idiosyncrasies Afflicting The Indian Middle Class:
A Critical Commentary
By Subit Chakrabarti

http://www.countercurrents.org/chakrabarti230411.htm

The whole hullabaloo surrounding the drafting of the Jan-Lokpal bill betrays manifestations of a strange dichotomy in the actions and thought processes of the Indian middle class, and by extension, the mainstream media (which, by and large, caters to them)


Chidambaram Is Happy
By Mahtab Alam

http://www.countercurrents.org/alam230411.htm

Binayak Sen gets bail and Mr. Palaniappan Chidambaram is also happy with the judgment. I think it is important to ask hard questions of the Home Minister because his happiness seems to be disingenuous. Isn't it because of the policies adopted by him and his ministry, hand in glove with the BJP government of Raman Singh (in Chhattisgarh), that Binayak was sent to jail?


Rationing Water or Rationing Human Right
By S. Mohammed Irshad

http://www.countercurrents.org/irshad230411.htm

The Planning Commission of India, vice chair man Montek Singh Ahulwalia declare the one of the future policy initiatives of Government of India i.e rationing of water. While government trying to implement rationing of water the UN declares water as human rights; hence, any attempt on rationing or denying access over water is the violation of human right


Shiv Sena In Konkan Struggle: A Corporate Strategy
By Prabhat Sharan

http://www.countercurrents.org/sharan230411.htm

Has the people's movement in Konkan been hijacked by the rabid right wing fascist party Shiv Sena? Going by reports appearing in the corporate media it appears that the movement which till now was moving on the lines of people's aspirations and struggles, has now been taken over by the moribund Shiv Sena
