By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman080211A.htm

By Javier Sethness

http://www.countercurrents.org/sethness080211.htm

Constituted power is quite clearly mobilizing to stifle the expression of the revolutionary dreams of the subordinated and oppressed, both in Egypt and elsewhere.

Yet Another Binayak Sen
By Anand Teltumbde

http://www.countercurrents.org/teltumbde080211.htm

Sudhir Dhawale is a prototype of a contemporary dalit activist: coming from a poor family, moderately educated and without any notable social acclaim. What makes them similar apart from their unflinching dedication to the oppressed humanity is the neurotic behavior of the state towards them. Binayak Sen's case is by now world famous, tearing down the veneer of all state claims to democracy. Sudhir's hopefully is adding to the shame of the establishment

By Silvia Cattori

http://www.countercurrents.org/cattori080211.htm

In a world where, from Palestine to Iraq via Afghanistan, so many innocent people are brutalized by barbarian armies, humiliated, bereft of hope, freedom, and human dignity, the voice of artists with the integrity to lend their talent and signature to say no to savagery, is a beacon of hope. Roger Waters, the legendary bassist, guitarist and singer of the now disbanded mythical group Pink Floyd, is one of those exceptional artists with that kind of courage
