The Limits To Growth And The Growth Of Despair
By Nicholas C. Arguimbau
http://www.countercurrents.org/arguimbau070511.htm
Economic growth is bad for the economy. Or more acccurately stated, it is bad for individuals, good for the managers of large corporate and govenmental institutions and large NGOs. They're sociopaths in my opinion. I know, that's pretty glib, and it's a matter for another day. But I'm going to claim the right to be glib, just this once
Got Coal? Teaching About The Most
Dangerous Rock In America
By Bill Bigelow
http://www.countercurrents.org/bigelow070511.htm
In 30 years of teaching, I'd never taught explicitly about coal. At the risk of sounding melodramatic, the world cannot afford this kind of curricular invisibility today. Forty percent of the main greenhouse gas produced in the United States, carbon dioxide, comes from burning coal for electricity; so does two-thirds of all the sulfur dioxide pollution
Will We Pass 10 Billion?
By Sharon Astyk
http://www.countercurrents.org/astyk070511.htm
The fact that the mid-range projections for world population rose by nearly a billion people this week should have garnered a lot more attention than it did. The UN offers biennial updates of its world population estimates. The 2010 estimate states that by 2100, the world may have as many as 10.1 billion people

My Reaction To Osama bin Laden's Death
By Noam Chomsky
http://www.countercurrents.org/chomsky070511.htm
We might ask ourselves how we would be reacting if Iraqi commandos landed at George W. Bush's compound, assassinated him, and dumped his body in the Atlantic
The Sheikh Who Shook Two Superpowers
By Satya Sagar
http://www.countercurrents.org/sagar070511.htm
He will, in my view, really be described as the 'Sheikh who shook two Superpowers' and a man who precipitated the fall of nothing less than the twin towers of the global Cold War itself
Obama, Osama And Politics Of Oil Hunger
By Ram Puniyani
http://www.countercurrents.org/puniyani070511.htm
The military operation which killed Osama bin Laden has raised many questions related to the deeper truths of the phenomenon of Al Qaeda, Terrorism and role of US in the region. What is obvious is that US in a neat military operation violated the air space of Pakistan with the help of highly trained commandoes killed Osama bin Laden
Staged Bin Laden Killing Hokum
By Stephen Lendman
http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman070511.htm
As reported, it sounded more like bad fiction than eliminating "Enemy Number One," especially with no visuals, corpse, independent proof, and shifting official accounts. In Hollywood, it's called rewrite. In politics, it's lying, a Washington bipartisan specialty, notably on issues mattering most
Osama Bin Laden Episode And Pakistan's
Dispirited Mercenary Army
By Abdus Sattar Ghazali
http://www.countercurrents.org/ghazali070511.htm
Four days after the Abbottabad episode, Pakistan's dispirited mercenary army, in a terse statement, called Thursday for cuts in the number of U.S. military personnel in the country to protest the US operation in Abbottabad that "killed Osama bin Laden." The army also threatened to cut cooperation with Washington if the U.S. stages more unilateral raids on its territory
The Rhetoric Of A Staggering Empire
By Maryam Sakeenah
http://www.countercurrents.org/sakeenah070511.htm
It is a case of an empire careening towards doom, screeching piquantly on its way down the hill. Its delusions of grandeur and its insistent hubris is more dangerous than any ragtag group of 'terrorists' hiding in the mountains of Pakistan

Skyrocketing Crime Rates And Imperial Wars
By James Petras
http://www.countercurrents.org/petras070511.htm
One indicator of the long-term consequences of imperial military intervention is the tremendous increase of violent crime, the multiplication of gangs, homicides and general insecurity in Central America. Violence increased far beyond what existed prior to imperial wars in such countries as Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia

By S.G.Vombatkere
http://www.countercurrents.org/vombatkere070511.htm
Reports indicate that around 100,000 people were evacuated from a radius of 20-km around Fukushima. In the context of an unfortunate but eminently possible "Indian Fukushima", the figures would be much higher, given that India is one of the most densely populated countries in the world

To Be Or Not To Be Arundhati Roy
By Rajesh Kumar Sharma
http://www.countercurrents.org/sharma070511.htm
Arundhati Roy points her finger at the undead monster that the democratic machine has been unable to exorcize; the monster that likely gave sleepless nights to Plato. Democracy's slumbering, biding monstrous 'other' that no people can yet claim to have slain and laid to eternal rest
