By Bill Van Auken

More than a year ago, Iran warned the US: The Syrian interventionists possess chemical weapons.

Brief On The Political Economy Of U.S War Preparations Against Syria
By Dr. Peter Custers

http://www.countercurrents.org/custers100913.htm

The reasons why the US is preparing a new aggression, are of course not only economic in kind. Yet in opposing the threat of war strikes against Syria, the world’s peace movement would do well to keep in mind the three issues spelled out above, meaning: the U.S.’s lasting desire to keep control over Middle Eastern oil; the Western drive to globalise their sales of armament systems; and the overwhelming threat posed by an M.I.C. which over the last 15 years has gone transatlantic

Our Fossil-Fueled Future
By Michael T. Klare

http://www.countercurrents.org/klare100913.htm

What sort of fabulous new energy systems will the world possess in 2040? Which fuels will supply the bulk of our energy needs? And how will that change the global energy equation, international politics, and the planet’s health? If the experts at the U.S. Department of Energy are right, the startling “new” fuels of 2040 will be oil, coal, and natural gas -- and we will find ourselves on a baking, painfully uncomfortable planet


Why I Had Protested: A Protest Letter To Zubin Mehta From A Non Kashmiri
By Ravi Nitesh

http://www.countercurrents.org/nitesh100913.htm

I am completely blank in understanding that when you (with the help of the Government) are trying to use this concert to convey a message for peace for local people but these 'local' people are not interested in listening to you, rather they find peace through sloganeering, protest songs and all, then what is the meaning of your concert? Is it not true that peace should come from within? And if it is true, then let it come from the heart of kashmiris through their protest songs. Is it not ironical that you are trying to 'define' and 'distribute' the 'peace' for the people without knowing their consent? Are you 'imposing' and 'enforcing' peace?
