The Old Economy's Not Coming Back. So What's Next?
By Gar Alperovitz

http://www.countercurrents.org/alperovitz290511.htm

The new economy movement seeks an economy that is increasingly green and socially responsible, and one that is based on rethinking the nature of ownership and the growth paradigm that guides conventional policies


The Coming Economic Contraction
By James Keye

http://www.countercurrents.org/keye290511.htm

The cycle of filling, inappropriately, the needs of meaning and purpose with disposable material objects, discarding and replacing them as they are superseded by other material objects and claiming this to be a fundamental and obligatory way of life is about to come to an end; and we are completely unprepared


Facing The New Dark Age: A Grassroots Approach
By John Michael Greer

http://www.countercurrents.org/greer290511A.htm

At this point, stark limits of time and resources as well as a failure of political will make attempts to prevent the fall of industrial society an exercise in futility. Individuals, small groups, and communities can still prepare for the approaching crises by mastering low-tech survival skills now to lay foundations for a sustainable society in the future


A Fashion For Austerity
By John Michael Greer

http://www.countercurrents.org/greer290511B.htm

As Harold Camping's followers learned the hard way this weekend, no outside force is going to rapture us away from the consequences of three centuries of mistaken faith in exponential growth. The world we've got is the world we're going to have to live with, and it's going to take a lot of work to make it livable


Beyond Two Degrees Celsius(PDF)
By Andrew Glikson

By Bob Burton, Christine Shearer, Cynthia Ong, Jamie Henn, John Hepburn , Joshua Frank , Justin Guay, Kate Hoshour , Mark Wakeham & Ted Nace

http://www.countercurrents.org/shearer290511.htm

In the past, most communities struggling to take on ill-conceived projects have done so largely on their own, but that's beginning to change. As shown in some of the following examples, international coalitions are beginning to develop to bring publicity and support to front-line efforts


The Jemima Code: Toni Tipton-Martin Explores
The Politics Of The Kitchen, Past And Present
By Robert Jensen

http://www.countercurrents.org/jensen290511.htm

Industrial agriculture and fast-food still dominate, but more and more people are shopping at farmers markets, seeking out healthy food, and recognizing the social costs of reckless eating habits. For Tipton-Martin -- an African-American chef teaching mostly black and brown kids -- it's a particularly opportune moment to be working on these issues


What Justifies The Adoption Of Convenient Fantasy And Denial Of Inconvenient Truth?
By Steve Salmony

http://www.countercurrents.org/salmony290511.htm

Our adamantly advocating and relentlessly pursuing a morally disengaged and patently unsustainable way of life -- one of endless population growth and connected economic growth -- simply cannot last


Exposure Of Western Mainstream Media  Censorship And Lying
By Dr Gideon Polya

http://www.countercurrents.org/polya290511.htm

There is horrendous Mainstream media censorship in the pro-US, pro-Zionist, democratic fascist Western Murdochracies and Lobbyocracies. But how can one begin to expose the nature and extent of this egregious censorship?


Our New Iraq-Afghanistan War National Holiday
By David Swanson

http://www.countercurrents.org/swanson290511.htm

On Thursday the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously voted, in pure bipartisan harmony, to add the following gem to the big war-funding, war-expanding, bill that now goes to the Senate: "The President shall designate a day entitled a National Day of Honor to celebrate members of the Armed Forces who are returning from deployment in support of Iraq, Afghanistan, and other combat areas."


A Nation Always Murdering In Smaller Countries
For Its Rich Investors Is Evil
By Jay Janson

http://www.countercurrents.org/janson290511.htm

During Memorial Day moments of silence to honor those who 'gave' their lives, exclude my six bunk mates buried somewhere in North Korea. They would be really pissed, being thanked for dying while killing dirt poor people in their own country because of phony radio, newspaper praise of how we were protecting Koreans from Koreans. 16 wars -same simple-minded protecting people from themselves. Lies re Libya's pro US insurgents


Osama Episode Reinvigorates China-Pakistan Ties
By Abdus Sattar Ghazali

http://www.countercurrents.org/ghazali290511.htm

Pakistan's Defence Minister Chaudhry Ahmed Mukhtar announced on May 22 that China had "acceded to Pakistan's request to take over operations" of the Gwadar port while Islamabad also requested Beijing to build a naval base at the same port. This is perhaps the biggest shift in Pakistan's policy in the aftermath of Osama episode


The Seventy-Two Greatest Days In History,
Remembering The Paris Commune Of 1871
By Dave Fryett

http://www.countercurrents.org/fryett290511.htm

May 28th is the 140th anniversary of the defeat of the Paris Commune. It lasted but a pitiful 72 days before it was drowned in blood, yet for subsequent revolutionary movements, its heirs, it is a source of joy, inspiration, and pride


Encircling Russia With US Bases
By Stephen Lendman

Vermont Enacts Conditional Universal
Healthcare Coverage
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman290511B.htm

On May 26, Vermont took an important first step toward universal coverage. It's for Vermonters and other state residents to follow through for true affordable universality, establishing affordable health care as an inalienable human right no corporate predators or politicians can deny


Territorial Plan: Jammu, Kashmir And Ladakh
By Inshah Malik

http://www.countercurrents.org/malik290511.htm

This territorial plan that Engels has foretold manifests in subtly different ways in Kashmir to ascertain and legitimize the power of state. These divisions created over time and investments are real threats to establishing a harmonious communion unless extending solidarities and rightful redistribution of power does not take place
