Why De-Growth?
By Rex Weyler
http://www.countercurrents.org/weyler050711.htm
The Degrowth movement advocates richer, more rewarding lives with less material stuff. Our economic efforts should focus on providing basic needs to everyone in the human family, rather than enriching a few, while others starve. Beyond basic necessities, happiness does not come from consuming more stuff. Happiness comes from friends, family, community, creativity, leisure, love, companionship, and time spent in nature. These things can grow without much material throughput. These are the qualities of life we should be helping to grow

The Motives Of Bradley Manning
By Glenn Greenwald
http://www.countercurrents.org/greenwald050711.htm
What Fishman's article actually does is bolster the previous view of Manning's alleged leaks as motivated by noble and understandable horror at what the U.S. was doing in Iraq specifically and that region generally, and a resulting desire to take action to shed light on what he was seeing and to do what he could to stop it

"George Papandreou is not bought, he is rented. He sells public enterprises to the multinationals. He reduces wages, pensions and employment at the behest of the IMF. He turns over the public treasury to the European banks. He supports NATO's war against Libya. He directs the Greek Coast Guard to enforce Netanyahu's blockade of Gaza."
There Are Too Many Headwinds To Take To Sea
But The Struggle Continues
By Silvia Cattori & Dimitri Plionis
http://www.countercurrents.org/cattori050711.htm
Under pressure from Israel and the United States, the Greek government has prohibited the Freedom Flotilla from sailing to Gaza from its ports. But for its organizers, the fight has just begun and Israel will remain under pressure by civil society who will continue to denounce the illegality of the blockade, and to fight to go to Gaza. Dimitri Plionis, one of the Greek spokesmen for the flotilla, responds here to the questions of Silvia Cattori
Fasts, Hunger And Hunger Strikes
By Anand Teltumbde
http://www.countercurrents.org/teltumbde050711.htm
It is amusing that the country having a dubious distinction of being a home to world's most hungry people should be shaken by the threat of hunger by a few. But that is what has been happening since Mahatma Gandhi forged them into a weapon
Chavez: Alive, Well, And Recuperating In Caracas
By Stephen Lendman
http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman050711.htm
Whether well, ill or recuperating, at home or away, propagandists always find ways to misreport about him. In fact, that's precisely what they're paid to do, producing fake made up managed news, not real information and analysis only found through alternative print and broadcast sources, doing it daily as a public service

By Stephen Lendman

All Cubans get free health services. Americans must pay, including those on Medicare, and employed Medicaid recipients by payroll tax deductions plus out-of-pocket costs

Long Defying Their Professed Savior Jesus
By Jay Janson
http://www.countercurrents.org/janson050711.htm
'When you bombed these brothers and sisters of mine,, you bombed me,'' says Jesus in Matthew chapter 25, (paraphrased of course). Obama, as presidents before him, follows the instructions of his promoters, the ruling investors, and disregarding the teaching and warnings of his "personal savior," gives to the rich at home, bombs abroad to be able to take from the poor everywhere, and lies that this is necessary and good
