Adaptive Technology For Post Peak Oil World
By Tom Whipple
http://www.countercurrents.org/whipple290911.htm

A Preparation For Philosophy
By John Michael Greer
http://www.countercurrents.org/greer290911.htm
A central aspect of our predicament is precisely that even the people who have managed to grasp just how severe that predicament is haven't been able to turn that realization into a motive for meaningful action.

Why End Of Growth Means More Happiness
By Richard Heinberg & Kirsten Dirksen
http://www.countercurrents.org/heinberg290911.htm
Unlike many other economists, Heinberg- whose latest book describes The End of Growth- isn't looking for when the recession will end and we'll get back to "normal".

The Dangerous Cult Of The Guardian
By Jonathan Cook
http://www.countercurrents.org/cook290911.htm
A typical example of the Guardian's new strategy was on show this week in an article in the print edition's comment pages – also available online and a far more prestigious platform than CiF – in which the paper commissioned a socialist writer, Andy Newman, to argue that the Israeli Jewish musician Gilad Atzmon was part of an anti-semitic trend discernible on the left

By Ramzy Baroud
http://www.countercurrents.org/baroud290911.htm
"Both of Ibrahim's arms were cut off. He had a hole in his lung. Parts of his legs were missing. His kidney was in a bad condition…we need people to stand with us." These were the words of an exhausted man as he described the condition of his dying son. Ibrahim Zaza was merely a 12-year-old boy. He and his cousin Mohammed, 14, were hit by an Israeli missile in Gaza, fired from an manned drone as they played in front of their house. He later died in an Israeli hospital

Of Statesmanship And Political Pandering…
By Franklin Lamb
http://www.countercurrents.org/lamb290911.htm
Iran's President demonstrated at Turtle Bay this month that he understands the problems, offers rational solutions and is ready for constructive dialogue.

Australia And Britain Killed 6-7 Million Indians
In WW2 Bengal Famine
By Dr Gideon Polya
http://www.countercurrents.org/polya290911.htm
India contributed an army of 2.4 million men to assist the British war effort in World War 2. However India was rewarded by a British-imposed Bengal Famine (Bengali Holocaust, Indian Holocaust) that killed 6-7 million Indians in Bengal, Assam, Bihar and Orissa in the period 1942-1945.

By Tom Engelhardt
http://www.countercurrents.org/engelhardt290911.htm
In the world of weaponry, they are the sexiest things around. Others countries are desperate to have them. Almost anyone who writes about them becomes a groupie.

A Simple Way To Help Resurrect Hope In America
By Rand Clifford
http://www.countercurrents.org/clifford290911.htm
If there's one major thing we can do to help salvage remains of our "constitutional republic", it's the same thing—turn off the TV. Americans who care enough about their country to really learn about their country need to just turn it OFF—kick TV and start getting more exercise in parts of the brain that distinguish us from animals
Worse Than the Cold War or Vietnam –
America Today
By Timothy V. Gatto
http://www.countercurrents.org/gatto290911.htm
This is the time to take back America and make it into what it was supposed to be, "The land of the free" and be peace loving people. It's up to us to make this change.

By Joel S. Hirschhorn

Much is being said by Republicans about a class war being waged by President Obama and Democrats. In their fantasy world this class war is attacking so called job creators.
