Much has been made out regarding likely instability of the government out of hung parliament or fractured or fragmented mandate, which can actually give us a better, fairer and even more stable democracy than the ones obtained from a single party majority, lopsided or otherwise
Turmoil In Nepal: Interpretation Of
'People's Democracy' Of Prachanda
By Vidya Bhushan Rawat
http://www.counterc urrents.org/ rawat060509. htm
Time for all those who believe in democracy to come together and find a solution. Nepal can not afford another round of instability and killing of the innocent people. Again the monarchy is gone but the monarch is still witnessing. The Hindutva's champions are sitting there and if the democratic polity fails in Nepal, the forces of patriarchy and monarchy will come through democratic mandate. Prachanda should visualize this and show more maturity and negotiating skills rather than mobilizing his rabble rousers in the street

By Stephen Lendman
http://www.counterc urrents.org/ lendman060509. htm
This is the first of several articles on Ellen Brown's superb 2007 book titled "Web of Debt," now updated in a December 2008 third edition. It tells "the shocking truth about our money system, (how it) trapped us in debt, and how we can break free." Given today's global economic crisis, it's an appropriate time to review it and urge readers to digest the entire work
Pay To Play Politics Is Unacceptable For
Health Care Reform
By Kevin Zeese

We Were Only Following Orders
By Timothy V. Gatto

We have a golden opportunity to right the wrongs that the Bush Administration committed. We know that the American people have rejected the Republican Party by the way they cast their vote last November. That isn't the end, it's just the beginning. We must hold all the people accountable that participated in torture and violations of the Geneva Conventions. We need to uphold the basic tenents of a moral civilization. The German people were complicit in the crimes' of Adolf Hitler. History has already made that judgment. Let us not be thrown into the same category
Not An Act Of Faith
By Sultan Shahin

Gandhiji started this move to impose Wahhabi Mullahs on us in 1920s, supporting the anti-national Khilafat movement. Mulayam Singhs and Mayawatis plus the media's love for dramatic beards and burqas, have finally succeeded, in no small measure with American and Saudi help. Am I too complaining, blaming others? Perhaps I can't escape the impact of the surrounding ambience for too long. It's time I too succumbed to the desert culture that has already forced most Muslims to say Allah Hafiz in place of the user-friendly and closer to home Khuda Hafiz
