Angry New Year Dr Binayak Sen!
By Satya Sagar

http://www.countercurrents.org/sagar020111.htm

As the New Year of 2011 rolls in it will already be an entire week inside a cold and harsh Raipur prison for Dr Binayak Sen. For many of us the conviction of this well-known health and human rights activist by a local court in Chattisgarh for 'sedition' and 'conspiracy' has made it impossible to mouth clichés like 'Happy New Year' to anyone anymore. It is really more an 'Angry New Year' and that will remain our greeting till Dr Sen is released


New Year's Day 1/1/11 Message:
Equal Shares on Our One Planet
By Dr Gideon Polya

http://www.countercurrents.org/polya020111.htm

The primary New Year's Resolution of all decent people around the World must be to (a) inform, everyone they can about the acute threat to Humanity and (b) urge and apply Sanctions and Boycotts against the climate criminal people, politicians, corporations and countries of the climate genocidal US Alliance. Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity. Acute concerns for Humanity, the Biosphere, our children, grandchildren, and intergenerational equity oblige us to take such action to help save the Planet before it is too late


Are You Ready For The Revolution?
By Mickey Z.

http://www.countercurrents.org/mickeyz010211.htm

Being a revolutionary needn't require one to sleep till noon , dress entirely in black, and sport a rail-thin, heroin addict physique. Then again, neither should Michael Moore ever serve as anyone's role model for healthy rebellion. If you agree that fitness— both mental and physical —is a crucial component for any serious subversive, read on…


Bombs Make No Moral Distinctions
Where They Fall
By Robert Fisk

http://www.countercurrents.org/fisk020111.htm

War crimes? Of course, we can all make moral assessments. Eliminated in the most humane way... The Taliban are not as bad as the Nazis. But they are much worse than the Danes. Isn't that right? What is this life?


The First Martyr Of 2011
And Where We Go From Here
By Mazin Qumsiyeh, PhD

http://www.countercurrents.org/qumsiyeh020111.htm

We were devastated to hear the news of the first martyr in 2011 being none other than Jawaher, the sister of the martyr Bassem Abu Rahma from Bil'in. Jawaher fainted in yesterday's demonstration but died apparently of this toxic tear gas (a much stronger version with unknown chemicals than used in the West)


Apology For The Iraq War: The Disrespect,
Humiliation And Dishonor Of War
By Mary Hamer

http://www.countercurrents.org/hamer020111.htm

The Iraq War is an example of the Violence of the human race to humans, animals, ecosystems & the Earth. We have killed & maimed people in Iraq, destroyed ecosystems , killed animals polluted the air, water & land of Iraq , consumed enormous amounts of scarce natural resources for this war including oil, mutated the gene pool of unborn Iraqis & destroyed a civilization & I cry an eternal cry


Last Chance For Venezuela's Revolution?
By Shamus Cooke

http://www.countercurrents.org/cooke020111.htm

For all the positive things Chavez has accomplished as President, he is in danger of becoming another Salvador Allende -- a martyr whose death ushered in a right-wing dictatorship


Why Inequality Matters
By Ann Robertson & Bill Leumer

http://www.countercurrents.org/leumer020111.htm

The U.S. social and economic landscape is rapidly changing. Inequalities in wealth, which began an upward ascent back in the 1980s, accelerated in the 1990s. Now they are flying off the charts, thanks first to the tax cuts ushered in by Bush II and second to Obama's recent continuation of those tax cuts, plus more, which have the effect of taking from the working class and poor in order to give to the rich


Hail To The Thief: The New York Times
Defends Mikhail Khodorkovsky
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman020111.htm

No broadsheet is more hypocritical than The Times, tainted by decades of supporting wealth, corporate interests, and imperial wars. Daily, its agenda is visible, arrogantly supporting power over popular interests, even mega-criminals deserving condemnation. Indeed, truth and fairness were never NYT long suits. Nor America's


Saxena Committee Report Falls Apart
By Campaign for Survival and Dignity

http://www.countercurrents.org/csd020111.htm

The report identifies the forest bureaucracy as a major problem. In itself, this is welcome. But when it comes to what should be done about these problems, and especially about MoEF and the forest bureaucracy, the report falls apart


The Accidental Indian And Ignorance
By Farzana Versey

http://www.countercurrents.org/versey020111.htm

Why is Venkatraman Ramakrishnan messing around in Indian political matters while denying it?
