Humanity's Dilemma: Reconciling Two Paradigms
By Jason G. Brent
http://www.countercurrents.org/brent120111.htm
The only problem facing humanity today is how to bring the human paradigm into agreement with the paradigm of nature with the least amount of death and destruction. And the agreement must last as long as the human species exists. At present the two competing paradigms are attempting to control the future of humanity and they cannot be reconciled
Assange Faces "Real Risk" Of Rendition To US, Torture And Death
By Julie Hyland
http://www.countercurrents.org/hyland120111.htm
Concerns that Assange's extradition to Sweden on politically motivated, trumped-up charges of sexual misconduct could lead to his "onward rendition" to the US, where he would face possible torture and even death, are to form part of the WikiLeaks founder's legal defence at the February hearing
Treat Incitement Seriously or Expect
More Gabrielle Gifford Killing Sprees
By WikiLeaks
http://www.countercurrents.org/wikileaks120111.htm
WikiLeaks spokesman Julian Assange said: "No organisation anywhere in the world is a more devoted advocate of free speech than Wikileaks but when senior politicians and attention seeking media commentators call for specific individuals or groups of people to be killed they should be charged with incitement -- to murder. Those who call for an act of murder deserve as significant share of the guilt as those raising a gun to pull the trigger."
Bradley Manning And The Rule Of Law
By Kevin Zeese
http://www.countercurrents.org/zeese120111.htm
A mature American leadership, rather than prosecuting Manning, would encourage an honest debate about U.S. foreign policy. Thomas Jefferson warned that "oppressions are many" and that for the people to govern we should "leave open . . . all the avenues to truth." Manning has provided an avenue to truth where we can look honestly at our government and dramatically change direction. Enlightened leadership would renounce blackmail, threats and spying of foreign officials, as well as torture and war
Million Plus Remain Homeless And Displaced
In Haiti: One Year After Quake
By Bill Quigley & Jeena Shah
http://www.countercurrents.org/quigley120111.htm
One year after the January 12 2010 earthquake, more than a million people remain homeless in Haiti. Homemade shelters and tents are everywhere in Port au Prince. People are living under plastic tarps or sheets in concrete parks, up to the edge of major streets, in the side streets, behind buildings, in between buildings, on the sides of hills, literally everywhere
Restraint And Hope: Lessons From Lake Baikal
And The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
By David B. Williams
http://www.countercurrents.org/williams120111.htm
Iconic and transcendent, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and Lake Baikal have given people the gift of hope, that we can rise above our perceived needs and that we have the courage and imagination to restrain ourselves from harming the world's sacred places

Why Is Australia Involved In Afghanistan?
By George Venturini
http://www.countercurrents.org/venturini120111.htm
Australia's presence in Afghanistan is in violation of art.2(4) of the UN Charter, whereby: "All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations." Nor does Australia's action meet the letter and spirit of art.51
Gun Metaphors And Disrespect
By Mary Hamer
http://www.countercurrents.org/hamer120111.htm
What are we communicating to other people when we use these gun metaphors such as Cocked & Loaded, Hit List, Hit the Target, In the Cross hairs, Locked & Loaded? Gun metaphors communicate negative thoughts, anger, hatred and violence -- directed toward an enemy
Roots of Arizona's Violence
By Stephen Lendman
http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman120111A.htm
Generations of violence engrained it in US culture. It proliferates daily in homes, communities, and by state-sponsored repression against society's least advantaged, cared about or wanted. It made America the world's prison capital - a repressive gulag with over 2.4 million incarcerated, more than China with a population four times greater
National Role For India's Veterans
By Maj Gen S.G.Vombatkere (Retd)
http://www.countercurrents.org/vombatkere120111.htm
If veterans engage peacefully in national issues in addition to their on-going OROP demand, it can influence the general public and through them, governments, to deliver better governance within India's constitutional framework, especially in the north-eastern states and Kashmir, and in the central Indian states that are increasingly subject to police repression of Maoist violence. The present article suggests the wider benefits that may accrue from such national involvement of veterans
Obama's New Chief of Staff And Economic Team
By Stephen Lendman
http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman120111B.htm
Obama's new team signals a further shift right, assuring fewer business regulations, more corporate tax cuts and handouts, and austerity for working Americans. Despite punishing unemployment and deepening hard times, progressivism is nowhere in sight
Britain's War on Islam
By Stephen Lendman
http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman120111C.htm
A January 2007 Islamic Human Rights Commission report titled, "The British Media and Muslim Representation: The Ideology of Demonisation" corroborated various studies showing UK Muslims believe British media inaccurately portray them and their religion falsely and unjustly
Dean Fudges On White House 'Contempt' --
Conjures Obama 'At Heart A Reformer'
By Robert S. Becker
http://www.countercurrents.org/becker120111.htm
If Obama is any sort of true reformer, why then did he empower, and stay with, re-cycled Clintonistas plus Blue Dogs plus carryover Republicans like R. Gates and B. Bernanke? Why lavish praise on demonstrable failures, like Larry Summers, rushing to other pastures to spoil? Across job creation, rebalancing national wealth, or saving the middle class, this bunch sucks. Lucky Chicago, regaining Rahm Emanuel's foul moods
BPA Chemical Lookalike Potentially More Risky
By Sarah Mosko, Ph.D.
http://www.countercurrents.org/mosko120111.htm
It would have been hard to get through 2010 without bumping into some scary information about the plastic ingredient bisphenol A, aka BPA, like the fact it leaches from polycarbonate baby bottles & sports bottles and metal food can linings into the contents or that it is widespread in the dye on thermal cash register receipts and is absorbed through human skin

We no longer have a democratic republic, we have a corporate state. This won't change until we remove the root cause of corporatism, the financing of political campaigns. It's that simple

By Ram Puniyani
http://www.countercurrents.org/puniyani120111.htm
Taseer's murder is yet another attack of fundamentalism on the liberal values and democratic space in our neighboring country. His murder has come as a big set back to the preservation of liberal values. There has to be a demand for release of Aasia Bibi and giving the due punishment to the killers of Salman Taseer
