Blowing Children Into Body Parts
 By Jay Janson

http://www.countercurrents.org/janson220711.htm

This article is about the author's two sons, who weren't blown to pieces as toddlers. The article is also about President Barack Obama's two daughters which Obama never had to bury with closed casket for their remains being incomplete and unrecognizable


Ground Your Warplanes, Save The Horn of Africa
 By Ramzy Baroud

http://www.countercurrents.org/baroud220711.htm

UN officials from the World Food Programme (WFP) are not asking for much: $500 million to stave off the effects of what is believed to be the worst drought to hit the Horn of Africa in 60 years. This is not an impossible feat, especially when one considers the geographic extent of the drought and creeping famine. Ethiopia, Somalia, Djibouti, Kenya are all affected, and terribly so. Sudan and Eretria are also not far from the center of this encroaching disaster


Libya War Lies Worse Than Iraq
 By Thomas C. Mountain

http://www.countercurrents.org/mountain220711.htm

The lies used to justify the NATO war against Libya have surpassed those created to justify the invasion of Iraq. Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch both had honest observers on the ground for months following the rebellion in eastern Libya and both have repudiated every major charge used to justify the NATO war on Libya

 To Intervene In Libya
 By Nu'man Abd al-Wahid

http://www.countercurrents.org/alwahid220711.htm

The current war on Libya largely led by Britain and France once again highlights the shortcomings of the British anti-war movement


Corporatism or Survival on Earth?
 By Siv O'Neall

http://www.countercurrents.org/oneall220711.htm

The Corpocrats are so totally deluded by their illusion of infinite power that they also believe that the earth offers the means for infinite growth. What they do not seem to understand at all is the fact that man can never, never dominate nature

Peak Research
 By Ugo Bardi

http://www.countercurrents.org/bardi220711.htm

I couldn't find data about the worldwide situation, but these data from the US do suggest that we may have peaked in terms of resources available for scientific research or, at least, we are plateauing


The Death of Democracy
 By William A. Cook

http://www.countercurrents.org/cook220711.htm

Contrary to Fox News and Benjamin Netanyahu, Democracy is neither alive nor well in the United States or Israel; indeed it is dying a slow, agonizing death as each nation writhes in pain in adjoining beds unaware that the intravenous feeding tubes controlled by their respective Knessets drip poison into their life sustaining veins


There And Back Again: Sobering Thoughts
 About The Nuclear Madness We All Face
 By Vincent L. Guarisco

http://www.countercurrents.org/guarisco220711.htm

When I go down the beaten path of memory lane and revisit all the hurdles my family went through in our life-long participation with the anti-nuclear movement, my breath become fast and quick. But when I think about the future in terms of where we're headed today, I feel like I have no breath left in me


American (Real) Exceptionalism
 By Ghali Hassan

http://www.countercurrents.org/hassan220711.htm

A majority of Americans believe America is an "exceptional" nation and "a shining beacon of democracy and hope to a dark world". But, reliable and unbiased evidence shows that real America is an unequal society, oppressive, undemocratic and a violent imperialist power


Explaining Obama: It's The Re-election, Stupid
 By Steve Breyman

http://www.countercurrents.org/breyman220711.htm

Some pundits still suffer from "Obama as Savior" complex. Why does he roll over so easily? Why won't he fight for progressive values or policies? Why does he ignore his base? Why doesn't he end rather than start wars? How come he let Wall Street off the hook? Why does he leave Main Street to suffer? These questions all have the same answer: to do otherwise might—he and his advisors think—place his political future in jeopardy

 By Vidya Bhushan Rawat

POSCO Needs Immediate Rethink Or Recall
 By Mahtab Alam

http://www.countercurrents.org/alam220711.htm

The agitators have proposed two alternative sites, Ambili village and Budha Garia. In case the government chooses not to opt for the above, it would only further the perception of the locals that the government has some vested interests in the project. So it is high time for the government to rethink about its plan for land acquisition for the project before it is too late


Impeach Obama
 By Sherwood Ross

http://www.countercurrents.org/ross220411.htm

We tolerate President Obama, the war-maker and tyrant, at our peril. He is a menace to America and humankind, the palpable, living symbol of the military-industrial complex run amok. He should be impeached

 By Stephen Lendman
