At Last Bernie Sanders Gets A Foreign Policy 
By David Swanson

http://www.countercurrents.org/swanson270915.htm

After 25,000 people asked, Senator Bernie Sanders added a few words to his presidential campaign website about the 96% of humanity he'd been ignoring. He did not, as his spoken comments heretofore might have suggested, make this statement entirely or at all about fraud and waste in the military. He did not even mention Saudi Arabia, much less declare that it should "take the lead" or "get its hands dirty" as he had been doing in interviews, even as Saudi Arabia bombs Yemeni families with U.S. cluster bombs


30,000 Murdered In Argentina While Pope Francis Was Top Jesuit , Millions While Pius XII Was Pope 
By Jay Janson

Pope’s visit, blown up to super large proportions, a media inculcated impression that God’s representative on planet Earth is blessing America as its investors in profitable use of US Armed Forces go on destroying nations and peoples. Article not intended merely to unmask the Pope we are being hyped about, but to show the Papacy has long been an instrument of the wealthy who brutally misrule most of humanity


Brace Yourself, New York! The Annual Anti-Iran Terrorist Freak Show Is Back in Town! 
By Caleb T. Maupin

You would think that individuals claiming to be “Islamic Marxists” -- former members of an illegal Zionist terrorist organization -- and Republican elected officials would generally not associate with each other. However, once a year for the last decade or so, they all gather together in front of the United Nations during its General Assembly to display their insanity to the world by calling for greater hostility between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran

At least six independent groups and political coalitions have announced plans to stage protests at the SAP Center arena in San Jose and at some high-profile tech companies that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi plans to visit. These include the Alliance for Justice and Accountability (AJA), Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), and the Organization for Minorities of India (OFMI). Scores of buses from across California are set to converge on SAP Center, bringing what is expected to be thousands of protesters with a wide range of grievances against the Prime Minister


Munnar: Distasteful Truths And Hidden Sorrows 
By Anitha.S

http://www.countercurrents.org/anitha270915.htm

All the voices we heard on a rainy afternoon in Munnar may sound apolitical and emotional, but it seemed truly apolitical not to listen and create a space where the voices of women do become heard and taken with all the gravity of the issues they raise. This is a reflection of the unpalatable, distasteful truths that the lives of women workers who support multiple lives with their hardship filled livelihood. The occupational hazards and health problems that breathing of pesticides, drinking contaminated water, living in unhygienic circumstances and neglecting the subtle health needs of the feminine body creates remain unspoken and unsaid

Now, I’m not here to rant about guyliner but I’d like to strongly propose that revolutionary gender non-conformity should involve addressing, challenging, and changing the most common -- and most dangerous -- male behaviors


Civic Sense 
By Fayaz A. Soomro

I feel shame, worried, unwired, mentally disturbed, perturbed, confused, amazed and fraught with a number of questions seeking prompt answers, but still unresolved. Day in day out the situation is getting bad to worst leaving no hope for betterment. Despite uncountable bounties and blessings, our environment is murky with unbelievable habits and practices cultivated by people around us. Unfortunately, civic sense is not common in common men
