Peak Food: Can Another Green Revolution Save Us?
By Nicholas C. Arguimbau

http://www.countercurrents.org/arguimbau310710.htm

The Green Revolution was a one shot deal, because we cannot again double irrigate acreage or multipy use of chemical fertilizers by five; and because the Green Revolution was a program of the oil age, which is fast departing. Modest crop-yield increases may keep up with population growth for a while, but all indications are that the prices of what food there is will rapidly climb above the budgets of billions of us

By Evan Knappenberger

http://www.countercurrents.org/knappenberger310710.htm

As far as the courageous PFC Manning goes, he is my new military intelligence hero. Thanks, Brad. And shame on you, media, for being out-reported by a twenty-two year-old kid with a laptop.

The Hidden Face Of Sanctions
By Dr. Alan Sabrosky

http://www.countercurrents.org/sabrosky310710.htm

The real purpose of sanctions is not to affect the policies of the Iranian government, because nothing it does will affect the sanctions.
