'Peak Oil' : Jimmy Carter's Secretary Of Energy
Sounds The Alarm
By Matthieu Auzanneau
http://www.countercurrents.org/auzanneau180910.htm
James Schlesinger, President Carter's Energy Secretary, wrote the foreword to a book written by Dr Robert Hirsch, a former US official who predicts a fall of the oil production within 5 years. Never before has a high-ranking political figure like Schlesinger gave his support to such a prognosis
The Peak Oil Crisis: Is $50 Oil In The Offing?
By Tom Whipple
http://www.countercurrents.org/whipple180910.htm
It is to delay the realization of what is about to happen on the part of the general public for as long as possible, is what motivates the debunkers. Until the day when declines in global oil production become too obvious to deny we will continue to read stories about $50 oil
The 4 Major Threats To industrialized Agriculture:
Fred Kirschenmann Speaks
By Kalpa
http://www.countercurrents.org/kalpa180910.htm
The next generation sees the world differently. The older people alive today wanted to control the world. The new generation wants to work with it. Through his work at the Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture in New York, he sees the many great young people working there who want to grow real food (not corn and soy). Seventy percent of them are now engaged in full time agriculture
Shell's "Let's Go" Ad In HuffPo

Why we mustn't allow Shell to go ... to America's Arctic seas
Who Will Feed India In The Days To Come?
By Devinder Sharma
http://www.countercurrents.org/dsharma180910.htm
India is witnessing a thousand mutinies. Pitched battles are being fought across the country by poor farmers, who fear further marginalisation when their land is literally grabbed by the government and the industry. From Mangalore in Karnataka to Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh, from Singur in West Bengal to Mansa in Punjab, the rural countryside is literally on a boil. Large chunks of prime agricultural land are being diverted for non-agricultural purposes. Such huge diversion of farm lands will result in drastic cut in food production, and has threatening socio-political implications
From Ecocide To Ecocentrism: A Response
By Paul Kingsnorth
http://www.countercurrents.org/kingsnorth180910.htm
Paul Kingsnorth's personal-radical farewell to green-movementism - the essay "Confessions of a recovering environmentalist" - generated a rich and earthy response. Andrew Dobson, the pioneer of "ecologism" and of green political thought, questioned the key choice the essay offered. Now, Paul Kingsnorth develops his case that "ecocentrism" is the practical heart of good human society
Inventing A Child's Ecological Education
By Sharon Astyk
http://www.countercurrents.org/astyk180910.htm
I'm a homeschooler, but it isn't only homeschoolers that struggle with the question of how you frame our ecological situation for children in ways that are honest, not too frightening, engaging, and age-appropriate
Economic Crisis Threatens To Unleash
Global Currency Wars
By Barry Grey
http://www.countercurrents.org/grey180910.htm
Two events this week have highlighted the growth of global economic tensions and the slide toward international trade and currency wars
Nature Cannot Be Fooled
By Rand Clifford
http://www.countercurrents.org/clifford180910.htm
The direction that power is taking us suggests that Feynman's "...reality must take precedent over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled" will become the most important idea of our time. Perhaps, if power could suddenly be properly diluted, and Nature properly respected, it already is the most important idea we have
Regarding US Muslims: A Misguided Debate
By Ramzy Baroud
http://www.countercurrents.org/baroud180910.htm
Laurie Goodstein's article, 'American Muslims Ask, Will We Ever Belong?' was intended as a sympathetic reading of the concerns of US Muslim communities facing increasing levels of hostility and fear. While generally insightful and sensibly written, the article also highlights the very misconceptions that riddle the bizarre debate pitting American Muslims against much of the government, the mainstream media and most of the general public
Remembering The Sabra And Shatila Massacre
By Abdus Sattar Ghazali
http://www.countercurrents.org/ghazali180910.htm
To borrow Richard Seymour, remembering Sabra and Shatila is not just about paying ritual tribute to the dead, for whom tributes are worthless. It is about knowing what it is that the Palestinians are up against, and understanding the urgent need for solidarity today. It will not be too much to say that in the spirit of the 9/11 terrorist attack memorial held last week, the Sabra and Shatila victims deserve an equal tribute
Life In Devastated Haiti
By Stephen Lendman
http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman180910.htm
Nine months after the January 12 earthquake, Haitians still have little relief. Over one and a half million left homeless continue struggling to survive, despite billions in aid raised or pledged. It's for development, predatory NGOs, not them. That's the problem, and they suffer as a result, little media attention paid to their plight
State Response to Maoist Violence in India:
A Critical Assessment
By K S Subramanian
http://www.countercurrents.org/subramanian.pdf
Maoist violence is the consequence of increased atrocities against scheduled castes and scheduled tribes (especially in the central tribal belt) and widespread tribal unrest due to commercialisation of forest resources. Ignoring such analysis and acting primarily on reports by the Intelligence Bureau, which is not equipped to study the multiple complexities of developmental conflicts, the Ministry of Home Affairs has resorted to brute police force to deal with the violence. But, as suggested by several reports, the problem should be handled politically and administratively, implementing the constitutional provisions for dalits and adivasis that have so far been ignored
Enlightenment That Took Thousands Of
Kashmiri Lives To Dawn Upon
The Indian Government!
By Avinash Pandey Samar
http://www.countercurrents.org/samar180910.htm
Enlightenment, it seems, has finally dawned upon the Indian government. The words of wisdom that came out of yesterday's all-party meeting on Kashmir convened by the Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, point to that. The wisdom was best summarised in the consensus the meeting arrived at that the "Constitution of India provides ample scope to accommodate any legitimate political demand through dialogue, civil discourse and peaceful negotiations"

Ayodhya: Waiting For The Verdict
By Ram Puniyani
http://www.countercurrents.org/puniyani180910.htm
Today we are at a crucial juncture. The core issues of society, bread, shelter, employment and Human Rights need to be brought to the front stage and the Temple-Masque disputes can be left to the rational historians and the law of the land. All of us need to adopt this attitude and accept the process of law and the values of Indian Constitution
Capital Controls Gain Credence
By Kavaljit Singh
http://www.countercurrents.org/ksingh180910.htm
Capital controls are back in fashion. In June 2010, South Korea and Indonesia announced several policy measures to regulate potentially destabilising capital flows, which could pose a threat to their economies and financial systems

Of Resistance And Fighting For
The First Amendment
By Jason Miller
http://www.countercurrents.org/miller180910.htm
No group has seen its First Amendment rights erode more quickly and dramatically than those of us who are vegan and agitate for Animal Rights and the Earth. It has been a down-hill slide for us ever since, with ever-increasing degrees of harassment, surveillance, persecution, arrest, and imprisonment for the "crime" of defending the Earth and other sentient beings and attempting to stop a holocaust that kills billions upon billions of nonhuman animals annually
