Adaptive Technology For Post Peak Oil World
 By Tom Whipple

http://www.countercurrents.org/whipple290911.htm

Improvements in transportation and other energy related technologies are being reported every day. Most of the developments, however, are down in the technological weeds and involve technical concepts nearly incomprehensible to laymen; however, some of the reports do give insights into the directions in which our civilization may be evolving


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. Al Gore's new mansion and frequent-flyer miles are a well-known example of this, but there are plenty of others


As The Earth Turns: Going Global
 With Perennial Polyculture Agriculture
 By Robert Jensen

http://www.countercurrents.org/jensen290911.htm

Wes Jackson believes that shifting from fragile annual monocultures to more hearty perennial grains grown in a mixture of plants (polycultures) is the key to a truly sustainable agriculture. Instead of a brittle industrial agriculture dependent on fossil fuels, Jackson's research team is working to build a resilient agriculture modeled on natural ecosystems


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". He believes our decades-long era of growth was based on aberrant set of conditions- namely cheap oil, but also cheap minerals, cheap food, etc- and that looking ahead, we need to prepare for a "new 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


Mass Killing And Humanitarian Disaster
 In NATO Siege Of Sirte
 By Bill Van Auken

http://www.countercurrents.org/auken290911.htm

Refugees from the Libyan coastal city of Sirte report that thousands have died as a result of relentless NATO bombardment and shelling by the the Western-backed "rebels."


Ibrahim Zaza: The Gaza Boy Newspapers Omitted
 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


Ahmadinejad And Obama At The UN:
 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. The next move is up to President Obama to extricate him and his country from the jaws of Zionism and to join with Iran and the community of nations with constructive proposals to help alleviate the challenges Iran's President enumerated


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. Australia was a major supplier of wheat but deliberately by-passed starving India , this boosting British food stocks and what was evidently a starvation-based military strategy to prevent Japanese advance into Bengal


Sex And The Single Drone : The Latest
 In Guarding The Empire
 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. Reporters exploring their onrushing future swoon at their potentially wondrous techno-talents. They are, of course, the pilotless drones, our grimly named Predators and Reapers


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. We need the government to respond to the people, not the corporations and the military-industrial-complex. This is the real world we live in. This is our chance


Class War Winner
 By Joel S. Hirschhorn

http://www.countercurrents.org/joel290911.htm

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. All this talk is pure nonsense, absolutely false and misleading, intentional political garbage designed to intentionally mislead gullible Americans stupid enough to believe the lies


The 'People's Microphone'
 By Pablo Ouziel

http://www.countercurrents.org/ouziel290911.htm

From America, the most striking tactic has been the use of the 'people's microphone'. After a ban on using megaphones, the people at Occupywallstreet have taken to using this tactic in order to allow everyone in the crowd to hear the speaker


Protest The Denial Of Entry To David Barsamian
 By Concerned Citizens

http://www.countercurrents.org/cc290911.htm

We write to protest the denial of entry to David Barsamian by Immigration Authorities at the New Delhi airport in the early hours of September 23, 2011, and we write to draw attention to the growing arbitrariness of the Indian Government in dealing with dissent of any kind
