“In Bastar, A Man Dies Once, But A Woman Dies Twice”
by Surabhi Singh 

http://www.countercurrents.org/2016/06/27/in-bastar-a-man-dies-once-but-a-woman-dies-twice/

“In Bastar, a man dies once, but a woman dies twice, once when she’s stripped of every ounce of her dignity, paraded, brutalized by a gang of uniformed mercenaries; and later, by a bullet. And yet these Adivasi women and girls, prefer to go out and face the consequences rather than sending their menfolk out to die like an animal. This is how brave and dignified our women in Bastar are. How can a couple of thousands of armed mercenaries working for a corrupt government, take that away by bloodshed and rapes,” the words, spoken by Soni Sori should send a long ricocheting alarm down the annals of power corridor in this godforsaken state.

Why The British Said No To Europe
by John Pilger 

http://www.countercurrents.org/2016/06/27/why-the-british-said-no-to-europe/

The majority vote by Britons to leave the European Union was an act of raw democracy. Millions of ordinary people refused to be bullied, intimidated and dismissed with open contempt by their presumed betters in the major parties, the leaders of the business and banking oligarchy and the media.

The Woes Of Brexit: Revolt Against Corbyn
by Dr Binoy Kampmark

Jeremy Corbyn, the grand hope of the Labour Party in Britain, is being politically assassinated. The process has been a gradual one, coming in the form of poison administered over a series of months and thinly veiled promises.  But now, the issue has become even more violent. The anti-Corbyn clique is now brandishing its weapons in the open.

Brexit And The Energy Equation
by Kurt Cobb 

http://www.countercurrents.org/2016/06/27/brexit-and-the-energy-equation/

In the conversation about the rising revulsion against further integration, one factor is not being discussed: energy. With oil, natural gas and coal, the world’s primary energy sources, all far below their high prices of the last decade, all would seem well on the energy front.

Brexit And The Diseased Liberal Mind
by Jonathan Cook 

http://www.countercurrents.org/2016/06/27/brexit-and-the-diseased-liberal-mind/

The enraged liberal reaction to the Brexit vote is in full flood. The anger is pathological – and helps to shed light on why a majority of Britons voted for leaving the European Union, just as earlier a majority of Labour party members voted for Jeremy Corbyn as leader.


Renewable Electricity: Falling Costs, Variability, And Scaling Challenges
Co-Written by David Fridley & Richard Heinberg

http://www.countercurrents.org/2016/06/27/renewable-electricity-falling-costs-variability-and-scaling-challenges/

Costs to utility companies from the introduction of distributed solar PV are somewhat balanced by the fact that added solar capacity helps reduce the strain on electric grids on summer days when demand soars and utilities must buy additional power at high rates. Nevertheless, as more residential and business customers install their own PV systems, revenues to the utility industry are starting to decline. Industry-sponsored studies warn that the trend could eventually lead to a radical transformation of energy markets, on a scale similar to the restructuring of the telecommunications industry following the advent of the Internet and cell phones.

What Japanese Media Doesn’t Want You To Say! Japan Is Part Of The Neo-Colonialist Clique
by Andre Vltchek

http://www.countercurrents.org/2016/06/27/what-japanese-media-doesnt-want-you-to-say-japan-is-part-of-the-neo-colonialist-clique/

Write that ‘Japan is part of the neo-colonialist clique’, and you will never again be invited to participate in any public debate conducted by Japanese mass media outlets. And that is exactly what I wrote several months ago, after being approached by an important publication based in Okinawa.

The Narmada River Valley: Imminent Disaster In The Making
by S G Vombatkere

Today, and very urgently even as I write, for all the foregoing reasons, with the monsoon about to break, the people of the Narmada River valley are in imminent danger of being flooded out of their homes and lands or drowned, due to the rising waters in the reservoirs behind the hundreds of small, medium and large dams, which have been constructed on Narmada river and its tributaries over the years. In particular, the SSP dam at its finished height of 138.68-metres with the sluice gates installed, threatens the lives of around 40,000 PAFs in Madhya Pradesh. Clearly, there is a disaster-in-the-making; India urgently needs to do something now

Turkey’s Scholars Call Erdogan’s Presidency Fraud
by Eric Zuesse 

http://www.countercurrents.org/2016/06/27/turkeys-scholars-call-erdogans-presidency-fraud/

One of the Constitutional requirements to be able to serve as Turkey’s President is to have a college diploma, and Turkey’s association of professors have declared fake the diploma of Turkey’s President, Tayyip Erdogan, which presents him as having graduated from “Marmara University.”

Here’s Why Hillary Won’t Allow Her Corporate Speeches To Be Published
by Eric Zuesse

http://www.countercurrents.org/2016/06/27/heres-why-hillary-wont-allow-her-corporate-speeches-to-be-published/

The reason why Clinton doesn’t want those speeches to be made public is that she doesn’t want the voters to know that she intends to use their money to propagandize to them for the benefit of those corporations, and also to protect those corporations from liability for harms their products cause the public.
