The deadly 2012 attack on US diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya, could have been prevented if Washington had not allowed arms shipment to reach al-Qaeda-linked militants, said the Citizens Commission on Benghazi (CCB), a group launched to unearth truth behind the attack, in its interim report – “How America Switched Sides in the War on Terror.”

Putting The ‘Sharing’ Back In To The Sharing Economy
By Adam Parsons

http://www.countercurrents.org/parsons240414.htm

A vibrant debate is beginning to question the meaning of sharing in relation to the big questions of our time. In a recent article printed in STIR magazine, STWR argues that this emerging economic concept should not be beholden to solely personal, consumer-oriented or commercialised forms of collaboration, and must ultimately be reflected in government policies on the national and international level

Now, it’s Indyk, the die-hard Israel lobbyist, being sent along with another galloping horse outside Abbas’ window. We all know well how this is going to end, and we can imagine Indyk giving another speech at an AIPAC or J Street conference deriding Abbas for failing to jump


Power, Politics, Money And Free Speech
By Fazal M. Kamal

http://www.countercurrents.org/kamal240414.htm

Like all other human endeavors, democracy too is an evolving concept, maybe, in future the trend will begin swinging in the opposite direction, as is often the case due to laws of nature. Meanwhile, let us consider the pros and cons as presented by two quotations: Historian Theodore H. White commented that “The flood of money that gushes into politics today is a pollution of democracy.” However, on a completely different tangent astute social commentator/humorist Will Rogers is reported to have declared, "America has the best politicians money can buy."

Let's Counter The Argument In Similar Fashion
By Suraj Yengde

http://www.countercurrents.org/yengde240414.htm

Rather than getting into the on-going debate over the row of Arundhati Roy 's introduction to the prophetic text of Ambedkar, I would rather surmise a different approach. It has been over 8 decades that the discussions on Annihilation of Caste has dominated mostly Dalit's upbringing. In this short essay I will attempt to summarise the sentiments of Navayana as I experienced through the text and provide an alternative approach. If this debate continues it will probably be one of the influential debates of twenty-first century literary tradition in India
