Fukushima And The Future Of Nuclear Power
By Sharon Astyk

http://www.countercurrents.org/astyk030411.htm

There is a lot of debate over the EROEI of nuclear, but unless you calculate it in purely thermal terms, the returns come in on the lower side - 3-6. This is not enough excess energy to run a society on. Even EROEI is not the central obstacle, however - it is the upfront costs of nuclear, financial and energy that will be nearly impossible for an energy system in overall decline to bear


Situation At Japanese Nuclear Plant
Still "Very Serious"
By Mike Head

http://www.countercurrents.org/head030411.htm

Three weeks after the disaster struck, serious doubts continue to surround the precise situation inside the stricken Fukushima Daiichi plant and the levels of contamination in the surrounding areas. From the outset, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), the plant's owner, has released conflicting, contradictory and incomplete information


Japan's Apocalypse
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman0304011.htm

Despite a disaster multiples worse than Chernobyl, major media reports all along downplayed it. Now they largely ignore it, moving on to more important things like celebrity features and baseball's opening day, besides pretending American-led Libya bombing is well-intended


Much Ado About Nothing: Richard Goldstone's
Supposed Retraction
By Don Emmerich

http://www.countercurrents.org/emmerich030411.htm

Richard Goldstone's motives in writing this op-ed are completely irrelevant. What matters is the evidence. And the evidence—documented not just by the Goldstone Commission, but also by the Arab League , Breaking the Silence , Amnesty International , and Human Rights Watch —indicates that Israel committed numerous war crimes in Operation Cast Lead


Revisiting Israel's Terror War On Gaza
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman030411B.htm

In his April 1 op-ed, Goldstone failed to explain and denounce Israeli crimes of war and against humanity. Instead, he defended the indefensible


After The Great Quake, Living With
Earth's Uncertainty
By Verlyn Klinkenborg

http://www.countercurrents.org/klinkenborg030411.htm

The Japanese earthquake and tsunami remind us that we exist in geologic time and in a world where catastrophic events beyond our predicting may occur. These events — and the growing specter of climate change — show how precariously we exist on the surface of a volatile planet


How A Community-Based Co-op Economy Might Work
By Dave Pollard

http://www.countercurrents.org/pollard030411.htm

Most people have been brought up to believe that the competitive, grow-or-die, absentee-shareholder-owned, "free"-trade "market" economy is the only one that works, the only alternative to a socialist, government-run economy. But there are alternatives. Before we can plant these seeds we need to unlearn the nonsense we're taught and told about economics, and learn how a healthy economy actually works


Impeach Obama Over Libya
By Prof. Francis Boyle

http://www.countercurrents.org/boyle030411.htm

World-renowned International Law Professor Francis Boyle tells Jack Blood on the March 30, 2011 Deadline Live radio show that to prevent a U.S. land invasion of Libya, the American people through their representatives in Congress must immediately begin the call for the impeachment of President Obama for his unauthorized "Shock & Awe" U.S. bombing of Libya


The Media And The Attack On Libya
By Dan Lieberman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lieberman030411.htm

The attack on Libya is essentially an attack on one person, Colonel Muammar Gadhafi, who is the present poster boy for evil. Every Gadhafi deed is interpreted as malevolent; every word as an untruth. The characterizations might be correct, but when the media uses spurious and contradictory statements to expose his 'untruths,' its rhetoric become questionable and its reports lose credibility


Eternal Punishment: Obama Leads
Third Century Of Imperial Revenge On Haiti
By Chris Floyd

http://www.countercurrents.org/floyd030411.htm

The blood and thunder of the American-led intervention in Libya has obscured one of the more revealing episodes of our times. We speak of the American rigging of the election in battered, helpless Haiti -- a brazen effort to disenfranchise the majority of the population and ensure the election of a vicious -- but acquiescent -- client to the presidency


They Came, They Saw And Now It's Time To Act
By Franklin Lamb

http://www.countercurrents.org/lamb030411.htm

By Bahrain Youth Society

http://www.countercurrents.org/bys030411.htm

Bahrain: A Legacy Of Broken Promises
By Ali Jawad

http://www.countercurrents.org/jawad030411.htm

In the current context of Bahrain, the suggestion of foreign interference in the shape of an ethereal "Iran threat" does not only represent a wholesale neglect of factual evidence, but in fact proceeds to insult the sacrifices of generations of Bahrainis tracing back to the birth of the nation


Anarchism, Political Violence,
And The London "March For The Alternative"
By Dave Fryett

http://www.countercurrents.org/fryett030411.htm

It seems more likely that these incidents were staged by agents of the government or people in their employ. The purpose was to cast the protests in a negative light, and to justify ever more repressive crowd-control measures should the groundswell of protest come to threaten the state and those whose interests it serves


Russell Defreitas: Terrorist or Political Prisoner?
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman030411A.htm

Many hundreds of wrongfully convicted men and women languish unjustly in US federal and state prisons, victims of judicial unfairness. Russell Defreitas is one of the many victims


"4th April, A Fateful Day"
By Riaz Ali Toori

http://www.countercurrents.org/toori030411.htm

4th April will forever be remembered as the saddest day in the political history of Pakistan when a dictator put a democratic rose to death with the help of judiciary. On the malicious judicial assassination of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto who taught the nation the art of living with heads held high and gave the public a voice for speaking aloud for their rights who so far had remained silent, confined to their homes
