The Peak Oil Crisis: Turmoil Erupts
 By Tom Whipple

http://www.countercurrents.org/whipple061011.htm

There is a definite possibility, if not a likelihood, that the innumerable debt crises when coupled with high and ever increasing energy costs could evolve into a major economic depression. Such a depression would result in large declines in the GDP of many if not most countries


The Peak Oil Initiation
 By John Michael Greer

http://www.countercurrents.org/greer061011.htm

All this, in turn, provides one answer to the question I posed at the end of last week's post—whether it's possible to shake our society out of its collective trance and get it to pay attention to the reality of the crisis looming up before us. Initiation is very much subject to readiness factors


Sustainable Means Bunkty To Me
 By Tom Murphy

http://www.countercurrents.org/murphy061011.htm

Only by looking at the sober possibility that we risk reverting to a low-tech existence after the fossil fuels are spent can we make honest plans for our future. Those honest plans may well involve a substantial ratcheting-down of the lifestyle to which we have become accustomed. And that same honesty suggests refraining from using the term "sustainable" until we better understand what it actually means


Memo To The #Occupied Movement (A Post-Growth Economy)
 By Richard Heinberg

http://www.countercurrents.org/heinberg061011.htm

You courageous people in the #occupy movement are absolutely right in saying the system is broken, greedy, and unfair. But when our discussion turns to replacing the current system, we've got to embrace a bigger view of reality than the one held by stock traders and politicians. It's not just our wealth they want to control, it's our vision for what is both possible and necessary


The Wall Street Occupation Wants YOU!
 By Frank Rummel

http://www.countercurrents.org/rummel061011.htm

Somewhere in this country there must be someone who wants to be a true agent of change, that one person who can make the critical difference between triumph and defeat and push this movement over the tipping point to epic success... Is it YOU?


King Would Be Marching On Wall St.
 Where Wars Are Made - Not In Washington
 By Jay Janson

http://www.countercurrents.org/janson061011.htm

Martin Luther King Jr. would have been moved by the occupation of Wall Street. He condemned Wall Street's wars maintaining "unjust overseas predatory investments"


With The Keystone Pipeline, Drawing A Line
 In The Tar Sands
 By Bill McKibben

http://www.countercurrents.org/mckibben061011.htm

For environmentalists protesting the Keystone XL pipeline, the battle is about more than just transporting tar sands oil from Alberta. It's about whether the United States — and the rest of the world — will finally come to its senses about global warming


The Day America Died
 By Paul Craig Roberts

http://www.countercurrents.org/roberts061011.htm

September 30, 2011 was the day America was assassinated. On that day Obama used this asserted new power of the president and had two American citizens, Anwar Awlaki and Samir Khan murdered. Khan was a wacky character associated with Inspire Magazine and does not readily come to mind as a serious threat


US Foreign Policy: Hypocrisy At Its Most Naked
 By Alan Hart

http://www.countercurrents.org/hart061011.htm

US criticism of Russia and China's veto of the UN Security Council resolution which condemned Syria over its brutal crackdown on anti-government protesters is hypocrisy at its most naked form


The Syria Veto
 By Chandra Muzaffar

http://www.countercurrents.org/muzaffar061011.htm

The China-Russia veto was a rejection of regime change with the connivance and collusion of foreign elements. It reaffirmed the right of people everywhere to determine their own destiny, without outside interference


Angelina Jolie; Hollyweirds "Good Will" Ambassador To Africa
 By Thomas C. Mountain

http://www.countercurrents.org/mountain061011.htm

Angelina Jolie has been one hell of a "goodwill ambassador" for the UN in Africa. You know, demand the USA declare war and bomb Sudan and then turn a blind eye to starvation and disease in Ethiopia. All the while your colleagues in the UNHCR oversee the "humanitarian" slow starvation of a million refugees next door in Somalia and Kenya

Protecting Investors' Rights: An Assessment of
 EU's New Mandate on International Investments
 By Burghard Ilge & Kavaljit Singh

http://www.countercurrents.org/ksingh061011.htm

On 12th September 2011, the General Affairs Council of the European Union (EU) officially approved negotiating mandate for investment protection measures under the proposed free trade agreements with India, Singapore and Canada. The secretive manner in which the negotiating mandate was approved raises several legitimate questions about the entire process


In Custody: Kashmir
 By Farzana Versey

http://www.countercurrents.org/versey061011.htm

Did Saeed Mohammad Yousuf's kidneys/lungs/heart fail because he had accepted a bribe and admitted to it? Or was he killed because, as his family alleges, he knew too much about the Abdullahs since he was close to them?
