Germany
Threatens “Massive Damage” To Russia Ahead Of Crimea Referendum
By Johannes
Stern and Alex Lantier
http://www.countercurrents.org/lantier140314.htm
Ahead
of Sunday’s referendum on the independence of Crimea, Berlin and Washington are
escalating a campaign of threats and sanctions against Russia, risking civil war
in Ukraine and war with Russia itself. Addressing the German parliament on
Thursday, Chancellor Angela Merkel warned of a “catastrophe” unless Russia backs
down
The Failure Of German Leadership: Merkel Whores For Washington
By Paul Craig Roberts
http://www.countercurrents.org/roberts140314.htm
Washington,
enabled by its compliant but stupid NATO puppets, is pushing the Ukrainian
situation closer to war. German Chancellor Merkel has failed her country,
Europe, and world peace. Germany is the strength of the EU and NATO. Had Merkel
said “No” to sanctions on Russia, that would have been the end of the crisis
that Washington is brewing, a crisis unlikely to be ended short of
war
On the U.S. Government's Hypocritical Demand
That Russia
Respect Sovereignty And International Law
By Matt Peppe
http://www.countercurrents.org/peppe140314.htm
I
am not suggesting that Russia is right or that they are in compliance with
international law, merely that there is an extremely important historical
context that U.S. officials are ignoring, if not flat out denying. They are
trying to demonize Putin, turning him into the next Saddam Hussein, Qaddafi,
Castro or Chavez. Much like the two minutes hate of Orwell's 1984, the state
needs official enemies to survive. Their evilness provides the contrast to the
state's own benevolence. In reality, Russia is acting rationally and in
accordance with their interests and those of ethnic Russians outside the
relatively new borders of the Russian Federation
Ukraine, America's
Midas Touch – Again!
By Soraya Sepahpour-Ulrich
http://www.countercurrents.org/ulrich140314.htm
Will
Ukraine, a state that is not one nation, survive the assault on its diversity
and its sovereignty? The unforeseen circumstances, the unpredicted reactions may
well turn Ukraine into the last of America's ‘Midas touch'
World Has
No Idea How U.S. Decides On Wars
By David Swanson
http://www.countercurrents.org/swanson140314.htm
People
from Yemen and Pakistan and elsewhere have told me, and have testified in the
U.S. Congress, that they have a hard time convincing their neighbors that
everyone in the United States doesn't hate them. There are buzzing killer robots
flying over their houses night and day and every now and then blowing a bunch of
people up with a missile with very little rhyme or reason that anyone nearby can
decipher
Why I Didn’t Make It To Gaza For International Women’s Day
By Medea Benjamin
http://www.countercurrents.org/benjamin140314.htm
When
I boarded the plane to Cairo, Egypt, to make sure everything was in place for
the women’s delegation headed to Gaza, I had no reason to think I’d end up in a
jail cell at the Cairo airport and then violently deported
Return Of
The Righteous
By William A. Cook
http://www.countercurrents.org/cook140314.htm
With
“eloquent” words Michele Bachmann returned to the declarations of the
dominionists who thrived during the George W. Bush administration, calling again
for more war on behalf of that foreign state that receives 8 million a day from
American taxpayers as it resumes its demand that America carry its “existential
fear against Iran,” to the bombing and slaughter of those who defy its demands
as they defy International Law. Why is it that Americans must be led by
religious fanatics and obsequiously obey the “mouthings” of superstitious people
who properly belong in the year 2014 BCE, i.e. BC? “The congresswoman was
echoing an End Times belief that holds that a massive battle will take place in
Israel, triggering the Last Days”
Realistic Left Politics In Texas
By Robert Jensen and Patrick Youngblood
http://www.countercurrents.org/jensen140314.htm
Is it
unrealistic to pursue left politics in Texas — or anywhere in the United States?
Quite the contrary: The ecological crises, economic catastrophes and immorality
of empire lead us to conclude that mainstream politics is a dead-end. We remain
committed to left politics because we are realistic
Film Review:
“Utopia” By John Pilger Exposes Genocidal Maltreatment Of
Indigenous
Australians By Apartheid Australia
By Dr Gideon Polya
http://www.countercurrents.org/polya140314.htm
John
Pilger's “Utopia” is a must-see film about the continuing Aboriginal Genocide
and Aboriginal Ethnocide by an Apartheid Australia. What can decent people do?
Decent people should (a) inform everyone they can, and (b) urge and apply
Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against all people, parties,
politicians, companies and corporations complicit in this ongoing, genocidal and
ethnocidal Apartheid Australian maltreatrment of Indigenous
Australians
Gender And Caste Discrimination: Apartheid In ‘New' India
By Graham Peebles
http://www.countercurrents.org/peebles140314.htm
A
suffocating patriarchal shadow hangs over the lives of women throughout India.
From all sections, castes and classes of society, women are victim of its
repressive, controlling effects. Those subjected to the heaviest burden of
discrimination are from the Dalit or Scheduled Castes, known in less liberal
democratic times as the 'untouchables'. The name may have been banned but
pervasive negative attitudes of mind remain, as do the extreme levels of abuse
and servitude experienced by Dalit women. They experience multiple levels of
discrimination and exploitation, much of which is barbaric, degrading,
appallingly violent, and totally inhumane
