The Limits To Growth And The Growth Of Despair
 By Nicholas C. Arguimbau

http://www.countercurrents.org/arguimbau070511.htm

Economic growth is bad for the economy. Or more acccurately stated, it is bad for individuals, good for the managers of large corporate and govenmental institutions and large NGOs. They're sociopaths in my opinion. I know, that's pretty glib, and it's a matter for another day. But I'm going to claim the right to be glib, just this once


Got Coal? Teaching About The Most
 Dangerous Rock In America
 By Bill Bigelow

http://www.countercurrents.org/bigelow070511.htm

In 30 years of teaching, I'd never taught explicitly about coal. At the risk of sounding melodramatic, the world cannot afford this kind of curricular invisibility today. Forty percent of the main greenhouse gas produced in the United States, carbon dioxide, comes from burning coal for electricity; so does two-thirds of all the sulfur dioxide pollution


Will We Pass 10 Billion?
 By Sharon Astyk

http://www.countercurrents.org/astyk070511.htm

The fact that the mid-range projections for world population rose by nearly a billion people this week should have garnered a lot more attention than it did. The UN offers biennial updates of its world population estimates. The 2010 estimate states that by 2100, the world may have as many as 10.1 billion people

The first ever Palestinian trade union conference for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel was held in Ramallah last week on 30 April.

My Reaction To Osama bin Laden's Death
 By Noam Chomsky

http://www.countercurrents.org/chomsky070511.htm

We might ask ourselves how we would be reacting if Iraqi commandos landed at George W. Bush's compound, assassinated him, and dumped his body in the Atlantic


The Sheikh Who Shook Two Superpowers
 By Satya Sagar

http://www.countercurrents.org/sagar070511.htm

He will, in my view, really be described as the 'Sheikh who shook two Superpowers' and a man who precipitated the fall of nothing less than the twin towers of the global Cold War itself


Obama, Osama And Politics Of Oil Hunger
 By Ram Puniyani

http://www.countercurrents.org/puniyani070511.htm

The military operation which killed Osama bin Laden has raised many questions related to the deeper truths of the phenomenon of Al Qaeda, Terrorism and role of US in the region. What is obvious is that US in a neat military operation violated the air space of Pakistan with the help of highly trained commandoes killed Osama bin Laden


Staged Bin Laden Killing Hokum
 By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman070511.htm

As reported, it sounded more like bad fiction than eliminating "Enemy Number One," especially with no visuals, corpse, independent proof, and shifting official accounts. In Hollywood, it's called rewrite. In politics, it's lying, a Washington bipartisan specialty, notably on issues mattering most


Osama Bin Laden Episode And Pakistan's
 Dispirited Mercenary Army
 By Abdus Sattar Ghazali

http://www.countercurrents.org/ghazali070511.htm

Four days after the Abbottabad episode, Pakistan's dispirited mercenary army, in a terse statement, called Thursday for cuts in the number of U.S. military personnel in the country to protest the US operation in Abbottabad that "killed Osama bin Laden." The army also threatened to cut cooperation with Washington if the U.S. stages more unilateral raids on its territory


The Rhetoric Of A Staggering Empire
 By Maryam Sakeenah

http://www.countercurrents.org/sakeenah070511.htm

It is a case of an empire careening towards doom, screeching piquantly on its way down the hill. Its delusions of grandeur and its insistent hubris is more dangerous than any ragtag group of 'terrorists' hiding in the mountains of Pakistan


More Government Lies And Deceptions
 By Timothy V. Gatto

http://www.countercurrents.org/gatto070511.htm

The events that have occurred during this last week have been beyond anything I have ever witnessed. This President must really be either incredulously stupid or he just doesn't care


Resurrecting Insurrection
 By William T. Hathaway

We must persist. Patiently. Perseveringly. After all, Rome wasn't destroyed in a day


Skyrocketing Crime Rates And Imperial Wars
 By James Petras

http://www.countercurrents.org/petras070511.htm

One indicator of the long-term consequences of imperial military intervention is the tremendous increase of violent crime, the multiplication of gangs, homicides and general insecurity in Central America. Violence increased far beyond what existed prior to imperial wars in such countries as Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia

Nuclear Accident Evacuation Blues:
 Moving India's millions
 By S.G.Vombatkere

http://www.countercurrents.org/vombatkere070511.htm

Reports indicate that around 100,000 people were evacuated from a radius of 20-km around Fukushima. In the context of an unfortunate but eminently possible "Indian Fukushima", the figures would be much higher, given that India is one of the most densely populated countries in the world


Fact Finding Report On
 Police Brutalities In Odisha
 By Concerned Citizens

http://www.countercurrents.org/odisha070511.htm

To Be Or Not To Be Arundhati Roy
 By Rajesh Kumar Sharma

http://www.countercurrents.org/sharma070511.htm

Arundhati Roy points her finger at the undead monster that the democratic machine has been unable to exorcize; the monster that likely gave sleepless nights to Plato. Democracy's slumbering, biding monstrous 'other' that no people can yet claim to have slain and laid to eternal rest
