 The Ongoing Systemic Collapse
 By Guy McPherson

http://www.countercurrents.org/mcpherson180611.htm

Only willfully ignorant individuals are failing to perceive the ongoing systemic collapse of western civilization. Economic recession? Check, since 2000. Economic depression? Check, since 2008. Rampant "natural" disasters? Check, with increasing frequency. Climate chaos? Indeed, only a politician could miss it


Learning From The Community Of The Land
 By Shepherd Bliss

http://www.countercurrents.org/bliss180611.htm

Farming has moved energy from my brain into my hands, legs, back, and the rest of my body. I enjoy this regular manual labor, which provides health insurance as important as my insurance policy. I read fewer books than before, but I learn a lot from plants, animals, soil, water, wind


Transitioning
 By Guy McPherson

http://www.countercurrents.org/mcpherson180611B.htm

The Transition to a life free from the curse of fossil fuels can be eased by maintaining focus on the five elements crucial to persistence of our species: air, water, food, body temperature, and human community


Nuclear Exit By Germany: Its International Significance
 By Dr. Peter Custers

http://www.countercurrents.org/custers180611.htm

The decisions by Western European governments to reject the idea of a nuclear renaissance impacts beyond nuclear production itself. A section of humanity at last has decided consciously to reject a technology which is outright destructive and severely damages life on planet earth. This shows that an ecological future for humanity is possible


Plantation Nation
 By Frank Scott

http://www.countercurrents.org/scott180611.htm

America seemed to achieve a great victory when Obama was elected president, both overcoming its wretched racist history and sending a positive message to humanity. But if Malcolm were alive he might point out that an African-American running the plantation for his masters does not change anything but the skin tone of the person serving those masters


Misshaping The Middle East: The Libyan Example
 By Dan Lieberman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lieberman180611.htm

France and Great Britain , the two principal European victors of World War I, shaped the Middle East to meet their political objectives and formed an area of despotic regimes and constant conflict. Now, joined by the United States , the same nations, by either aggression against established regimes (( Libya and Iraq ), neglect in assisting legitimate rebellions ( Syria , Yemen and Bahrain ), and support for despotic regimes ( Saudi Arabia ), are reshaping the Middle East; for sure into greater conflict


Make No Mistake – Obama's Actions Attacking Libya Constitute An Impeachable Offense
 By William Hicks

http://www.countercurrents.org/hicks180611.htm

We the people, who stand to lose the most in the face of unfettered executive power, should demand impeachment, but of course we won't. Many on the right would rather obsess about the media-manufactured and completely irrelevant Birther controversy, while many on the left would immediately charge that anyone advocating for Obama's impeachment must be a racist. And so nothing will happen


Duplicitous Congressional Posturing on Libya
 By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman180611.htm

On June 13, House members, in an amendment to a military appropriations bill, voted to prohibit funding operations for Libya without congressional authorization. It was political posturing as Senate follow-through is unlikely, giving representatives for it a safe vote


Godhra Verdict: The Court Could Legalise
 Revenge Killings As Well!
 By Avinash Pandey Samar

http://www.countercurrents.org/samar180611.htm

One may wonder how far the court was from upholding Modi's theory of action-reaction when it observed that 'for Godhra, this is not the first incident of burning alive innocent persons belonging to the Hindu community'. That, the court used this argument for upholding the conspiracy theory put forward by the prosecution speaks volumes about the quality of evidences. The only question that remains unanswered is why it stopped short of legalizing revenge killings


26/11 Truth: Rana's Acquittal
 By Feroze Mithiborwala

http://www.countercurrents.org/mithiborwala180611.htm

The recent acquittal by Tawwarhur Rana by a US Chicago Court for his alleged role in the Mumbai 26/11 terror attack, has once again exposed the double standards of the US regime. It has also again brought into focus the role of CIA Agent David Headley Coleman, who is clearly the prime mastermind of the 26/11 attack


India Uses UN Report On Sri Lanka
 To Assert Its Interests
 By Sarath Kumara

http://www.countercurrents.org/kumara180611.htm

A visit by a high-level Indian delegation to Sri Lanka last week underscored the tense relations between the two neighbours. New Delhi is particularly concerned about Sri Lanka's deepening relations with India's rival, China, and is exploiting a UN report on Sri Lankan war crimes to put pressure on Colombo
