Poll Finds Mass Opposition In Europe To War Drive  vs. Russia Over Ukraine 
By Alex Lantier

http://www.countercurrents.org/lantier110615.htm

The findings of a poll published yesterday by the Washington, DC-based Pew Research Center, showing broad opposition in Europe to a NATO war with Russia, underscore the anti-democratic character of the US-led war drive against Russia over Ukraine

About 200 members of the communist-leaning Greek trade union PAME have occupied the finance ministry building in Athens, blaming the government for its inability to pull the country out of the crisis. There are plans to organize protest demonstrations throughout the country including capital Athens


Are We Prepared To Change To Prevent Climate Change? 
By Christiane Kliemann

http://www.countercurrents.org/kliemann110615.htm

Don’t you think it’s high time we listen to our children, get out of our comfort zone and do all we can to safeguard the Earth for them? Consume less, share more and stand up against fossil fuels, urban sprawl, destructive infrastructures and resource extractivism. And, above all, fight for an economy that can fulfil everyone’s basic needs within the natural boundaries of a healthy planet


The Top 1% of America's Top 1%: The 15 Peak Years
For Top-End Income-Shares In U.S., 1913-2013  
By Eric Zuesse

So, we've met our masters, the top 1% of the top 1%. They like things just the way they are, but they want more of it. More poverty for the masses (or else in foreign countries) means more money for themselves; it's increasingly the American way to super-wealth. “The economics are compelling,” says one aspirant to billionairdom, in that last video. But, “No, I wouldn't want to live here.” It's just a proven fact; this really is the way to succeed, and successful people have no qualms about it

Condemn The Killing Of Children In Encounter In Jharkhand 
By Jamia Teachers’ Solidarity Association

http://www.countercurrents.org/jtsa110615.htm

Like the ‘encounter’ at Sarkeguda three years ago, this encounter at Bhalwahi village, too has resulted in the casualties of minors. And in a replay of the 2012 encounter, the security forces have termed these children as part of a Maoist squad. International jurisprudence on children in armed conflict has been continuously evolving in order to protect children from violence. The Jharkhand DGP D.K. Pandey’s comment, in response to the killing of minors, that the “bullet does not differentiate” displays a remarkable lack of training in any humanitarian law, or indeed of the law of the land


Sri Lanka : Deterioration Of The Legal Intellect (11): 
Small Miracles That Can Be Achieved Through Justice 
By Basil Fernando

http://www.countercurrents.org/fernando110615.htm

In this series of short essays I have attempted to demonstrate the terrible situation of institutions of justice- police, prosecutors and the judiciary- through some samples. I have also tried to show how intricately linked are the political and societal crisis plaguing the country and the sad state of justice institutions. In this essay, I will try to go through the same exercise by narrating stories which stand in opposition to the Sri Lankan experiences
