The Peak Oil Crisis: The Leading Edge
By Tom Whipple

http://www.countercurrents.org/whipple051110.htm

Last week an organization in California, The Post Carbon Institute, released a new book, "The Post Carbon Reader," which draws a much broader picture of the serious issues facing mankind. The basic proposition of the book is that the world has reached the limits of growth in terms of its population, economic activity, and the ability of the atmosphere to absorb more carbon emissions. Either the world's peoples must transform themselves into a sustainable number living in a sustainable manner or there will be many dire consequences right up to the possibility that the human race itself could become extinct. Clearly, this is serious stuff

Interview With Nicole "Stoneleigh" Foss


Zombie-Marxism Part II: What Marx Got Right
By Alex Knight

http://www.countercurrents.org/knight051110.htm

This is part of an essay critiquing the philosophy of Karl Marx for its relevance to 21st century anti-capitalism. The main thrust of the essay is to encourage living common-sense radicalism, as opposed to the automatic reproduction of zombie ideas which have lost connection to current reality. Karl Marx was no prophet. But neither can we reject him. We have to go beyond him, and bring him with us. I believe it is only on such a basis, with a critical appraisal of Marx, that the Left can become ideologically relevant to today's rapidly evolving political circumstances


Engels On The Theory of Value
By Thomas Riggins

http://www.countercurrents.org/riggins051110.htm

Engels discusses the origin of the Marxist theory of value in Part II, Chapter V of his 1878 book Anti-Dühring confuting the views of the self styled "socialist" German professor Eugen Dühring. He does this by first taking issue with Dühring's faulty views and then presenting what he takes to be the correct, Marxist, outlook


Rich Media, Poor Democracy
By Amy Goodman

http://www.countercurrents.org/goodman051110.htm

As the 2010 elections come to a close, the biggest winner of all remains undeclared: the broadcasters. The biggest loser: democracy. These were the most expensive midterm elections in U.S. history, costing close to $4 billion, $3 billion of which went to advertising. What if ad time were free? We hear no debate about this, because the media corporations are making such a killing by selling campaign ads. Yet the broadcasters are using public airwaves


After The Campaign Cash, The Backlash
By Brooke Jarvis

http://www.countercurrents.org/jarvis051110.htm

The 2010 midterm elections—the first since Citizens United opened the floodgates to corporate campaign cash—were the most expensive in history. So what happens next?


Where Is Everybody? Election Money Flows
In 2010 But Voters Stay Home
By Billy Wharton

http://www.countercurrents.org/wharton051110.htm

The money did certainly flow in 2010 and it served to shape the outcome of at least some of the elections. Ominous unnamed sources funded dozens of attack ads in contested races, Political Action Committee (PAC) funds flowed freely and the unions continued their failed strategy of footing the bill for the Democratic Party. The sheer scale of the spending combined with restrictive ballot access laws, served to further drown out independent candidates. Voters responded by staying home


Lies, Money, And The Fate Of Our Liberty
By Mary Shaw

http://www.countercurrents.org/shaw051110.htm

The November 2 elections whittled away at the Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate and gave the Republicans control once again of the House of Representatives. So what prompted so many people to vote for the GOP -- the very same party that got this nation into the current economic mess? Two things that go hand in hand: Lies and money


The Democrats Prepare To Move Right
By Shamus Cooke

http://www.countercurrents.org/cooke051110.htm

These bi-partisan, anti-worker policies will further expose the Democrats as being extensions of the very wealthy and the corporations. Working people will refuse to vote for this "lesser evil" in the future and demand that their labor and community groups move towards political independence


Lebanon Demurs As Israel Claims Victory
In The US Midterm Elections
By Franklin Lamb

http://www.countercurrents.org/lamb051110.htm

The Lebanese students verdict on the 2010 US midterm election: Netanyahu and Israel won again. Obama and America lost again.


Obama's Visit: US Merchants Eyeing
Indian Agriculture
By Devinder Sharma

http://www.countercurrents.org/dsharma051110.htm

At a time when America is faced with an economic downtrend, US President Barack Obama comes calling in a few days hoping that India will bail him out of the seemingly unending economic crisis. With a huge business team – more than 200 top business chiefs -- accompanying him, US is expecting to increase it exports to India by at least 400 per cent. Food and Agriculture is one of the major thrust areas where President Obama is likely to make a strong pitch


Why Yemen?
By Nasser Arrabyee

Religious extremism from Saudi Arabia is an excuse for false flag operations targeting Yemen, reports Nasser Arrabyee


"Traffic Accidents" In Occupied Palestine:
Another Form Of Zionist Terrorism
By Reham Alhelsi

http://www.countercurrents.org/alhelsi051110.htm

On 08.10.2010, Al-Jazeera showed footage of an Israeli settler run over Palestinian children in Silwan in occupied Jerusalem. In the footage, the car is seen swerving towards the children, hit them and throw one over the windscreen. This was not an isolated incident


Palestinian Refugees And Direct Negotiations
By Ali Badwan

http://www.countercurrents.org/badwan051110.htm

Leaks from Washington and those involved in the inner circles of the peace negotiations suggest that the right of return for Palestinian refugees is on the point of being sacrificed. The US is insisting that anyone agreeing to negotiate with Israel must abandon this fundamental issue. The right of return is, literally, reaching a point of no return; the pun is definitely intended


Conned By Democracy: The Middle East's
Stagnant 'Change'
By Ramzy Baroud

http://www.countercurrents.org/baroud051110.htm

Democracy in the Middle East continues to be a hugely popular topic of discussion. Its virtues are tirelessly praised by rulers and oppositions alike, by intellectuals and ordinary people, by political prisoners and their prison guards. Yet, in actuality, it also remains an illusion, if not a front to ensure the demise of any real possibility of public participation in decision-making


Israeli Settlers Threaten Sheikh Jarrah
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman051110.htm

A predominantly East Jerusalem Arab neighborhood, it's home to about 2,800 Palestinians as well as diplomatic missions and well-known landmarks. However, because of its strategic location, settlers want it, and have encroached for years. So far, over 60 Palestinian families have been dispossessed. Another 500 are at risk


Eroding Conditions For Israeli Arabs: Part II
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman051110A.htm

This article discusses a new Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) report titled, "Project Democracy - Fighting for the Ground Rules" for Israeli Arabs


Cell Phone Trap
By Joel S. Hirschhorn

http://www.countercurrents.org/trap051110.htm

It is now inconceivable that our world could function without the 5 billion cell phones used globally. The new book by Devra Davis "Disconnect" deserves your attention. Indeed, if you use a cell phone a lot it should be mandatory reading


Strong Unions Are The Best Hope Inside Capitalism
By Farooque Chowdhury

http://www.countercurrents.org/chowdhury051110.htm

Peace Authority Supporting War Effort
By Ron Swallow

http://www.countercurrents.org/swallow051110.htm

Founded in 2003, the Dayton International Peace Museum (DIPM) has received considerable attention from our local newspaper, the Dayton Daily News (DDN). Ironically, several of DIPM's projects, especially those reported in DDN, seem to support US foreign policy and its wars of aggression
