 Plugging Fukushima Reactors No Longer Stated Goal for Tepco
 By Kazuaki Nagata

http://www.countercurrents.org/nagat210711.htm

To substantially reduce the amount of radioactive materials released from the plant, Tepco needs to plug holes or cracks in the reactors' containment vessels that are allowing contaminated water to flood on-site facilities, including the reactor buildings and turbine buildings, experts said. The updated road map, however, includes no reference to this critical work

 By Franklin Lamb

http://www.countercurrents.org/lamb210711.htm

Jeffrey Feltman might want to visit some of Libya's universities, including Al Fatah which was bombed by NATO on 6/17/11, as students were inside classrooms sitting for their final exams. He will find a growing culture of resistance to NATO bombing their families but also support for a ceasefire and dialogue to end this ill-conceived criminal enterprise


The Peak Oil Crisis: Reality On Hold
 By Tom Whipple

http://www.countercurrents.org/whipple210711.htm

At last count there were at least a dozen mega dangers looming on the horizon all of which have the potential to change the nature of global civilization in profound ways. Yet the body politic seems to take little or no notice and concerns itself largely with issues that will soon be swept away by change. These dangers range from the depletion of our fossil fuel and mineral resources, to shrinking food and water supplies, to rising oceans, to political upheavals


Salvaging Resilience
 By John Michael Greer

http://www.countercurrents.org/greer210711.htm

In recent discussions in the peak oil blogosphere, the term "resilience" has taken over much of the space once occupied by "sustainability." Both these words have implications that conflict sharply with the conventional wisdom of our time, but resilience in particular points toward a strategy that, though unwelcome, offers one of the few effective responses to the crisis of our time

 By Ram Puniyani

Tim DeChristopher's Battle For Justice
 Is Our Battle
 By Kevin Zeese

http://www.countercurrents.org/zeese210711.htm

Tim DeChristopher is facing 10 years in prison in a sentencing hearing next Tuesday. His crime -- he used civil disobedience to stop an illegal sale of oil and gas leases. After he stopped the leasing by falsely bidding on the lands, the Interior Department determined what was known before the sale -- it was illegal. Yet, the government wants a harsh sentence to send a message to those who would join him in stopping illegal government action, ironically claiming we have to uphold the rule of law

 By Salim Nazzal

The Arab Revolution is still going on after 6 months of its eruption. And most observers expect it to continue and to expand to more Arab countries in what has been considered to be the most historical moment in the Arab history since the advent of Islam which put Arabs on the stage of history. This revolution revived much of the hopes for progress after decades of Arab defeats and stagnation on various levels

 By Silvia Cattori

http://www.countercurrents.org/cattori210711.htm

In mid June, Bülent Yıldırım, chairman of the Humanitarian Relief Foundation, declared that the "Mavi Marmara" ship, which was hard hit in the Israeli raid, could not take part in the "Freedom flotilla II" but will "definitely set sail for Gaza when it completes repair and maintenance works."
