Arnab Goswami And Sudhir Chaudhary Must Claim Responsibility 
For Attack On Kanhaiya Kumar And Reward The Attacker
By Samar

http://www.countercurrents.org/samar100316.htm

Not so dear Sudhir Chaudhary and Arnab Goswami, I am sure that both of you would be very happy today. You have a big reason for the happiness, after all. It is not everyday that self-designated champions of a very violent and bigoted mutant of nationalism find someone responding to their call. You must be happy for your increased reach, it is not only lumpens organized in this or that Senas or Dals who carry out your orders. You must be happy for your message is spreading to loners, as it appears for now, and finding Vijay Chaudhary, a Ghaziabad resident travelling all the way to JNU to teach ‘traitor’ Kanhaiya a lesson


Refugee Bloodlines: America And Europe Can't Be Hypocrites Any Longer 
By William Hawes

http://www.countercurrents.org/hawes100316.htm

In 2015, approximately 1.3 million migrants applied for asylum in the European Union. Estimates show an expected similar or higher amount for this year, in the range of 1.5-2 million. Over 3,000 refugees died trying to cross the Mediterranean in 2015. Conditions are simply brutal for those who do make it to the EU. In Greece and Hungary, refugees wait patiently as surveillance is increased, checkpoints and fences multiply, militarized police battalions patrol, and razor wire is strung up on their way to their destinations

By Eric Zuesse

http://www.countercurrents.org/zuesse100316.htm

Eva Bartlett, an independent journalist who is the first Western reporter who has travelled through the areas of Syria that have been freed from jihadist control by the Syrian government with Russian air-support, is reporting, at the sott.net website, that everyone she speaks with has stories of horror to tell, and that in many instances the jihadists who were inflicting the horrors were U.S.-armed and backed, basically supported by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey — often “al-Nusra,” the Syrian branch of Al Qaeda. As Seymour Hersh and others have reported, the U.S. has worked with the Sauds, Qatar, and Turkey, to get men and weapons to al-Nusra


Politics Not As Usual: Is This The Age Of American Fascism? 
By Ramzy Baroud

Regardless of the outcome of the American presidential primaries, or even the result of the general elections next November, a frightening phenomenon is under way. The US has decidedly moved to the Right, in fact the Ultra-Right; class differences are more pronounced than ever before, thanks to decades of neoliberal policies, the kind of capitalism that has concentrated the wealth in even fewer hands; racism is on the rise and the unmistakable signs of fascism are evident whenever Donald Trump holds a campaign rally


The War Of The Sexes: The Origins Of Gender Inequality 
By Ugo Bardi

http://www.countercurrents.org/bardi100316.htm

The story of Scheherazade of the 1001 Arabian Nights is the quintessence of the "war of the sexes" and of how women tend to lose it. It is said that King Shahryar would have a new lover every night and every morning he would have her killed. He stopped only when Scheherazade started telling him stories. It shows, among other things, that males behave much better when they listen to females

On Recent Movements In India 
By Mithilesh Kumar

http://www.countercurrents.org/mk100316.htm

Is this current phase emergence of New Left or just the old mainstream left taking a new turn. The contingent answer is that it is the latter for the contradiction in the praxis of the former has yet to play out. Also, there is the small matter of radical/revolutionary left who now are grappling with the problem of how to do class politics by eschewing populism. It is the dilemma that has wracked the left and continue to do so. At least, this has not changed


The Death Of Two Airlines 
By B.F. Firos

http://www.countercurrents.org/firos100316.htm

Two decades ago we saw the demise of another carrier: East West Airlines, promoted by the Wahid brothers from Kerala. The meteoric rise and melancholic fall of East West remains etched in India’s aviation history with the avant-garde entrepreneurship of its managing director Thakiyudeen Wahid. If Kingfisher died because of the corporate skullduggery by its owner, East West died after its promoter Thakiyudeen succumbed to a spray of bullets
