Equality And Sustainability: Can We Have Both?
by Diego Mantilla 

http://www.countercurrents.org/2016/07/04/equality-and-sustainability-can-we-have-both/

An equal level of consumption for everyone around the world at the level of today’s Cuba offers the possibility of substantially lowering human impact on the biosphere while at the same time maintaining a rather decent standard of living for all.

Following the stabbing of a 13-year-old Israeli girl in the West Bank settlement of Kiryat Arba by a young Palestinian on Thursday, Benyamin Netanyahu’s coalition government moved swiftly to implement their now standard measures of collective punishment, in flagrant violation of international law.

Terrorism Gains Foothold In Bangladesh: What’s The Way Out?
by Taj Hashmi 

http://www.countercurrents.org/2016/07/04/terrorism-gains-foothold-in-bangladesh-whats-the-way-out/

Bangladeshi politicians, analysts, intellectuals, and media should do the following three things for the sake of durable peace and order in the country: a) stop denying the existence of terrorism, as there is hardly any country without terrorists or terrorist sympathisers, in the post-9/11 world; b) fight terrorism not only with force but also through education and mass motivation; and c) do not think of gaining political leverage by falsely implicating political rivals or personal adversaries as terrorist agents. Terrorists gain most in divided and fractured countries. Examples abound.

What Would A Global Warming Increase Of 1.5 Degrees Be Like?
by Fred Pearce 

http://www.countercurrents.org/2016/07/04/what-would-a-global-warming-increase-of-1-5-degrees-be-like/

How ambitious is the world? The Paris climate conference last December astounded many by pledging not just to keep warming “well below two degrees Celsius,” but also to “pursue efforts” to limit warming to 1.5 degrees C. That raised a hugely important question: What’s the difference between a two-degree world and a 1.5-degree world? Given we are already at one degree above pre-industrial levels, halting at 1.5 would look to be at least twice as hard as the two-degree option. So would it be worth it? And is it even remotely achievable?

From Livelihoods To Deadlihoods
by Ashish Kothari 

http://www.countercurrents.org/2016/07/04/from-livelihoods-to-deadlihoods/

In India, economic development and modernity have transformed livelihoods into deadlihoods. They are wiping out millennia-old livelihoods that were ways of life with no sharp division between work and leisure, and replacing them with dreary assembly line jobs where we wait desperately for weekends and holidays. Economic progress, we are told, is about moving from primary sector jobs to manufacturing and services. And so the livelihoods that keep all of us alive – farming, forestry, pastoralism, fisheries, and related crafts – are considered backward.

The Three Russians, Gaither Stewart’s most recent and among his best stories, is in a way set in his own past. After years of European books and stories, he returns to Asheville, North Carolina where he grew to be a man and wrote his first book. 

Celebrate 260 Years Profitable Genocide – African Slaves Native Americans Mexicans Filipinos etc.
by Jay Janson 

http://www.countercurrents.org/2016/07/04/celebrate-260-years-profitable-genocide-african-slaves-native-americans-mexicans-filipinos-etc/

Independence Holiday in the USA becomes a time when citizens tend to reflect on the nations two hundred forty year history. It is a history typical of six European empires in the areas of genocide and plunder. US genocides perpetrated after 1945 will be prosecuted once economic power shifts to a China led plundered world. A plethora of lawsuits for restitution will make past illegal wars woefully unprofitable.

New Love For Militants In Kashmir Valley
by Basharat Shameem 

http://www.countercurrents.org/2016/07/04/new-love-for-militants-in-kashmir-valley/

A new wave of militancy, mostly comprising of educated young men, is sweeping through the trouble-torn Kashmir valley. This new breed of Kashmiri militants is more radicalized and more firm in its convictions than its predecessors. Lately, there has been an unprecedented rise in the number of militants operating in the Kashmir valley with South Kashmir erupting as the new hotbed

The Hills of Connecticut: Where Theatre And Life Became One  
by Andy Piascik

http://www.countercurrents.org/2016/07/04/the-hills-of-connecticut-where-theatre-and-life-became-one/

In 1931, a new theater ensemble was formed in New York City. The vision of Harold Clurman, Lee Strasberg, Phoebe Brand, Stella Adler and the other key figures behind its formation was that of a collective, so they called themselves the Group Theatre. The Group was committed to both staging plays about the social problems confronting Depression-era America and to utilizing the innovative acting techniques of Constantin Stanislavsky that eventually became known as the Method.

Ahistorical And Deluded, With Fireworks
by Linh Dinh  

http://www.countercurrents.org/2016/07/04/ahistorical-and-deluded-with-fireworks/

Although an empire with the greatest reaches ever, we pose as victims of cave dwellers, beginner pilots, box cutters and semi-retarded lone wolves. Celebrating gender instability, we welcome cross-dressers and self-castrators into our military. Our most famous entertainer was a black man who tried his damnedest to appear white, and one of our greatest male athletes ever decided at age 65 that he was somehow a woman. Obama praised nem/ver/em, “It takes courage to share your story.” Meanwhile, Americans with real balls, Gary Webbs, Pat Tillman, Michael Hastings, etc., were rubbed out. In Hillary Clinton, we have a foreign spy running for president. A thousand years from now, what will they write about this culture of mass delusions?


All Opposed To The Blind Fascism Of Hillary’s Lackeys:Let the Dead Bury Their Dead!
Co-Written by Mateo Pimentel and Edward Martin

Katherine Hoof Illinois—probably your average Hillary supporter. She published a letter to the editor in the Times the very day after Bernie’s piece and titled it“Dear Bernie Sanders: What You Didn’t Say”. In her letter, Ho claimed that“…[Bernie Sanders] needs to wake up to a modern reality in which globalization is both inevitable and beneficial, creating domestic jobs and raising millions worldwide out of poverty.”

Gujarat Files: Anatomy Of A Cover Up
by T Navin 

http://www.countercurrents.org/2016/07/04/gujarat-files-anatomy-of-a-cover-up/

Rana Ayub requires a high appreciation for bringing the book to the public domain. With an idealism to bring out the truth of Gujarat, the courage shown is highly appreciable. This is particularly more in an environment where publishing houses backed out from publishing the book and she had to do self-publishing.
