'Perpetual Growth Myth' Leading World To Meltdown

Why Do Political And Economic Leaders Deny Peak Oil And Climate Change?
 By Alice Friedemann

http://www.countercurrents.org/friedemann210212.htm

Since there's nothing that can be done about climate change, because there's no scalable alternative to fossil fuels, I've always wondered why politicians and other leaders, who clearly know better, feel compelled to deny it. I think it's for exactly the same reasons you don't hear them talking about preparing for Peak Oil

Toward Purpose And Meaning In A Too-Late World
 By Douglas Carhart

http://www.countercurrents.org/carhart210212.htm

There can be no rebirth without the requisite death that precedes it, so a "Great Turning", yes, but A Great Death, also. This is all the more reason why we need each other during this changing of worlds. As in all healthy ecosystems, the wider a person's web of supportive interrelationships, the greater their chance of survival

 By Peter Symonds

http://www.countercurrents.org/symonds210212.htm

International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors arrived in Iran yesterday for a critical two-day visit. If Iran fails to satisfy the inspectors over its nuclear programs, the way is open for a negative IAEA report, due later this month, and escalating sanctions and military threats by the US and its allies

 By David Swanson

http://www.countercurrents.org/swanson210212.htm

War is good for the U.S. economy, and the Iranian economy too. Troops stationed in Iran would buy stuff. And women who survived the war would have more rights. Like in Virginia. We owe Iranians this after that little mishap in 1953

Go occupy the possibilities and don't stop pedaling. And remember, it started with mad, passionate love

 By Javed I. Chaudry
