By Dr. Elias Akleh
http://www.countercurrents.org/akleh260312.htm
The US would be better off helping its own people before helping other countries. The American tax payers are suffering from high rate of unemployment, homelessness, budget cuts on all social services including medicare and education, increase of crime rate, and millions of families living under the poverty line. The number of beggars; young and old, standing on major freeway exits in a metropolitan city of Los Angeles is on the increase. Where is Clinton 's humanitarian help for her own citizens?
The New York Times Exaggerates The Significance of Shale Oil
By Kjell Aleklett
http://www.countercurrents.org/aleklett260312.htm
In a number of articles The New York Times has shown that it is not concerned about Peak Oil. On 23 March it headed page 1 with the article, "U.S. Inches Toward Goal of Energy Independence" One can interpret the article as saying that the USA is now on the way to reaching energy independence but let us compare some of the statements in the article to what the USA's Energy Information Agency (EIA) says
Deceptionomics
By Brent Blackwelder
http://www.countercurrents.org/blackwelder260312.htm
Many people are unaware of the high environmental and social costs of our economic transactions. Even if we remain unaware of these costs, we still have to pay for them. We'd be better off eliminating the deception embedded in our institutions and making economic decisions based on knowledge of true costs including the environmental impacts of growth. As long as deceptionomics rules, fuzzy math will be used to justify incessant GDP growth, and one by one we must say goodbye to the Aral Seas of the world
There Ain't No Cure For The Recession Blues
By Tim Murray
http://www.countercurrents.org/murray260312.htm
One day it will dawn on us that this is no ordinary recession. This is not a fiscal or credit crisis. Another trough in the usual boom and bust cycle. This time Keynesian prime-pumping won't work (if in fact it ever did, contrary to legend). We cannot spend or inflate our way out of this one

Real Health Care Advocates Should Support Repeal of The Insurance Mandate
By Kevin Zeese

Freedom Is Not Class-Neutral
By Farooque Chowdhury
http://www.countercurrents.org/chowdhury260312.htm
Freedom in all lands is captive to class interests. It's historically impossible for freedom – freedom of will and of action – to get free from the clutch of its class content as freedom is not class-neutral. Economic content of freedom, moored in class interests, makes it biased, distorts its imagined universal appearance – a concept materialized only in utopia – and creates the need to anchor the concept in the solid base of science instead of a superfluous sand beach of imagination
