TSA Targets Woman For Naked Scan; Fondles Children
By Rady Ananda

http://www.countercurrents.org/ananda181110.htm

Are these transportation security authorities looking for terrorists or a hard on? Why would 19 agents and police officers need to handle -- and watch -- a 20-something woman who happens to be 'smoking hot' get her breasts squeezed and twisted ? Children are fondled, too. Three-year-old Mandy Simon screams, "STOP TOUCHING ME" when a woman searches her for weapons


TSA Promises $10,000 Fine For Refusing Sexual Assault
By Rady Ananda

http://www.countercurrents.org/ananda181110A.htm

At the San Diego International Airport on Saturday, about one-fifth of the travelers were selected for sexual assault by transportation security agents. Though TSA's website did not list SAN as one of the airports employing the carcinogenic naked scan or a full body rub down, one man was told his refusal to submit would result in a civil law suit and a $10,000 fine


Enough Is Enough
By CASSE

http://www.countercurrents.org/casse181110.htm

Enough is Enough is the single most complete collection of policy initiatives, tools, and reforms for an economy that makes enough its goal instead of more. The report is generated from the inspirational ideas of the Steady State Economy Conference

Fidel Castro's Message To The Students
By Fidel Castro

http://www.countercurrents.org/castro181110.htm

It's only fair to struggle for that and that is why we must use all our energy, all our effort and all our time to be able to say with the voice of millions, or hundreds of thousands of millions of people: It is worthwhile to have been born! It is worthwhile to have lived!


The Peak Oil Crisis: Did We Vote Ourselves To Extinction?
By Tom Whipple

http://www.countercurrents.org/whipple181110.htm

Some climate scientists say that an average global increase of 6o C will leave the earth uninhabitable. Long before we get there, rising sea levels, droughts, floods, storms and what have you will make life very unpleasant for those of us still around or our descendants. Someday, those who are left will wonder just what we were thinking about when we let all this happen


Straight Talk With James Howard Kunstler:
"The World Is Going To Get Rounder And Bigger Again"
By Chris Martenson

http://www.countercurrents.org/martenson181110.htm

I take issue with the Tom Friedman notion that the world has become permanently flat. The world is going to get rounder and bigger again. Ahead now, I think you'll see the big nations shrink back into their own corners of the world. I'm not saying we'll see no international trade, but it will be nothing like the conveyer belt from China to Wal-Mart that we've known the last few decades. And the prospects for conflict are very very high


Global Warming Coming On Rapidly, Scientists Say
By Sherwood Ross

http://www.countercurrents.org/ross181110.htm

If we don't take urgent action to curb carbon emission, run away warming could be the possible consequence


Far Down The Road To Oligarchy
By Ron Forthofer

http://www.countercurrents.org/forthofer181110.htm

Our situation is far worse than in almost all other industrialized Western nations. Is the control of our government by a relatively few wealthy elite acceptable? Isn't it past time to consider changes to the U.S. approach?


Liar, Liar
By Philip Giraldi

http://www.countercurrents.org/giraldi181110.htm

President Barack Obama's speech in Indonesia in which he conceded that the United States must do more to establish a good working relationship with many Muslim nations would have ranked as one of the more pathetic performances by an American president in recent years but for the fact that there have been so many awful performances to choose from


Twenty-First Century Blowback?
By Nick Turse

As prospects dim in Iraq, the pentagon digs in deeper around the Middle East


Obama's Bribe
By Jonathan Cook

http://www.countercurrents.org/cook181110.htm

Another setback of similar magnitude may be unfolding as Barack Obama dangles a lavish package of incentives in the face of Benjamin Netanyahu in an attempt to lure the Israeli prime minister into renewing a three-month, partial freeze on Jewish settlement construction in the West Bank


A Bribe Too Good To Refuse
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman181110.htm

When all else fails, offer money, or in this case weapons for peace (a clear oxymoron) via for a three month settlement construction moratorium in name only. In fact, new building is unimpeded, Obama's offer a facade to hide reality on the ground


Senate Votes Cloture On S 510 : Must Now Be
Voted On In 60 Days
By Rady Ananda

http://www.countercurrents.org/ananda181110B.htm

By a vote of 74 to 25, at noon today, the U.S. Senate voted for cloture on S 510, the Food Safety Modernization Act, which means it must now be voted on in the full Senate within 60 days. All amendments to the controversial food control bill must be completed by that time


S.510, Food Control (aka, People Control)
For Dummies
By Robert Palmer

http://www.countercurrents.org/palmer181110.htm

Today the greatest threat to our food sovereignty in history, the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010 (S.510), is on the floor of the U.S. Senate, and the food activists are sitting on the side lines ignoring the pleas for help


Ablechild - Unsung Hero in Battle Against
Psychopharmaceutical Industry
By Evelyn Pringle

http://www.countercurrents.org/pringle181110.htm

The founders of Ablechild, Patricia Weathers and Sheila Matthews, have earned the title of "Unsung Heroes," as both pioneers and warriors for over a decade, in the battle to protect children from the Psychop harmaceutical Industry


America's Gulf: An Ongoing Catastrophic Disaster
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman181110B.htm

Experts and local residents express concern about a combination of widespread contamination, growing illnesses, and environment destruction. Besides the above, it's a lethal mixture, impacting the lives of growing millions, but government officials and media reports won't explain it


Haiti's Cholera Epidemic Sparks Outrage
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman181110A.htm

It's Haiti's latest cross to bear, a country beset by centuries of oppression, occupation, exploitation, neglect, deep poverty, and now cholera - an imperial epidemic likely to claim many thousands of lives, perhaps willfully targeted for removal


Revisiting Obama's Visit
By Suvrat Raju

http://www.countercurrents.org/raju181110.htm

Obama's major foreign policy achievement has been to restore American soft-power. So he was not met with protests of the kind that greeted Bush. However, unless sustained public pressure forces the Manmohan Singh government to reverse course, it will go ahead with deals that not only advance U.S. hegemony but are also pernicious for the vast majority of Indians


India Needs A Seed Liability Bill
By Devinder Sharma

http://www.countercurrents.org/dsharma181110.htm

The controversial Seed Bill 2010 that has been placed in Parliament in the ongoing session fails to address the long standing demand of farmers. Originally drafted in 2004, the new Seed Bill that has been reintroduced after much deliberations and discussions still takes a soft line against the seed companies, and provides no succour to farmers


The Milk Madness
By Devinder Sharma

http://www.countercurrents.org/dsharma181110A.htm

US/EU pushing India to open up for its subsidised milk products


No, You Can't
By Nawaz Gul Qanungo

http://www.countercurrents.org/qanungo181110.htm

It is true that the question of Kashmir cannot be answered fully without bringing Pakistan on board. It is also understandable that the US can, if it ever so desires, push for such an engagement. However, what is more important is to recognize that it is the Indian state which is responsible for such a thing not happening. India will not bow under what the United States says or believes. To bring change, Kashmir must look back within, not without
