The execution by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) of captive Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh, depicted in a video published by the terrorist outfit and widely circulated on social media on Tuesday, is a barbaric and heinous act. The grisly 22-minute video, which shows al-Kasasbeh doused in gasoline kneeling in a cage then set alight, has provoked revulsion among ordinary people around the world


Six Live Cremations The West Wants You To Ignore
By Robert Barsocchini

While ISIS has now used live cremation as a weapon of terror, the United States' cremation tactics, exhibited through today in continual bombings, build on its foundation of using live cremation as both a weapon of terror and a method of exterminating targeted populations. US colonists would burn indigenous women, children, men, and the elderly alive in closed off camps and structures and shoot, stab or bludgeon to death anyone who managed to to try to flee. Countless thousands were thus exterminated to create the United States. US/Western tactics, as seen in examples above, have since been expanded around the globe

By Jonathan Cook

http://www.countercurrents.org/cook040215.htm

For 20 years, the White House stood guard over the peace process, reserving for itself the role of stewarding Israel and the Palestinians to a resolution of their conflict. Like some Godfather, the US expected unquestioning loyalty. But Washington’s primacy in the relationship with both the Israeli and Palestinian leaderships is unravelling at astonishing speed

The current situation in the region is somehow similar to the situation of the 1916.

The Middle East has entered a dark stage of its history, which may last for many years

By Frank X Murphy

http://www.countercurrents.org/murphy040215.htm

So this is where we stand today.The Sinn of Detroit's intense, all-consuming Ausnahmezustand in the wake of the “Zen of emergency management”. Our reality exposes all the Chamber of Commerce's “happy talk” as the bullshit it is. A community in this shape might be on its way to a brighter future.But only if and when its People fight back against bankrupting corporate forces calling the shots


It's The Blind Partisanship
By David Swanson

http://www.countercurrents.org/swanson040215.htm

Why did the peace movement grow large around 2003-2006 and shrink around 2008-2010? Military spending, troop levels abroad, and number of wars engaged in can explain the growth but not the shrinkage. Those factors hardly changed between the high point and the low point of peace activism

Zakaria's Story: Listen To The Sighs From Indian Jails!
By K.P. Sasi

http://www.countercurrents.org/sasi040215.htm

Zakaria is completing six years in prison on February5, 2015. On this day, we must not only listen to the sighs of thousands of innocent people like Zakaria who are languishing in Indian jails, but also the sighs of their dearest ones, struggling to gather justice for their kith and kin. Justice in this country will not be received as a charity. It is something that the people of this country will have to struggle for!
