Dear Friend,
Thousands protested in St. Louis USA and France. Has any country expressed its intention to interfere in these countries referring to the incidents as they did in Venezuela?
Chelsea Manning has been shunted out of Harvard. The CIA wins! This entire charming episode shows, regrettably, how spines go on sudden holiday in the academy when political forces knock at the door.
This week commemorates the 35th anniversary of the Wednesday, Sept. 15 to Saturday, Sept. 18, Sabra-Shatila Massacre in the Fakhani neighborhood of Beirut. For many of the families and loved ones of the victims, as is certainly the case with this observer, it seems as though the Sabra-Shatila Massacre was committed at most four or five years ago. So vivid still in our memories are the horror images of that orgy of slaughter. A massive crime against humanity which has yet to be adjudicated. Due to poisonous destructive sectarian political pressures

The CIA Wins: Harvard, Chelsea Manning And Visiting Fellowships
by Dr Binoy Kampmark
This entire charming episode shows, regrettably, how spines go on sudden holiday in the academy when political forces knock at the door. Academics tend to be the first to fold when matters of courage are concerned, and often do so in graceless dissimulating prose. The Kennedy School of Government has not just been made safe for the CIA, but for academic hypocrisy.
Thirty-Five Years After The Sabra-Shatila Massacre Where’s “The Resistance”?

This week commemorates the 35th anniversary of the Wednesday, Sept. 15 to Saturday, Sept. 18, Sabra-Shatila Massacre in the Fakhani neighborhood of Beirut.

Killings Are Killing Secularism In India
by Dr Arshad M Khan
The killings of three rationalists, i.e. atheists, and a strong dissenter have cast a pall. Voices are being stilled. There is much more as evidenced by the complicity of authorities in instances of mass killing, their mono-cultural narrow vision in a multicultural and multi-religious society, and insurgencies in many parts of the country.

The Hindutva Gimmick: Bullet Train As MOKSHA
by Shamsul Islam
A foreign country, Japan, is helping India’s HAVES by providing loans worth almost ONE LAKH CRORE OF RUPEES to build and run BULLET TRAIN by charging interest rate of 0.1 annually and that too be paid in next FIFTY YEARS. Would RSS/BJP government of PM Modi help the distressed farmers of this very country, vast majority of them being Hindus, THE REAL HAVENOTS, who are committing suicides every 45 minutes by advancing loans with the same rate of interest and for the same duration?
Concerning Contention And Positive Affiliations
by Sally Dugman
We, unlike the meercats, can think about the less immediate ramifications of our behaviors. Nonetheless, it’s still not clear, not by a long shot, whether humanity can give up its contentions and start to collectively act in such a way so as to create a reasonable, constructive and supportive future for our and other life forms on this planet. As Buckminster Fuller, bluntly, puts it, “We are not going to be able to operate our Spaceship Earth successfully nor for much longer unless we see it as a whole spaceship and our fate as common. It has to be everybody or nobody.” This in mind, it is time that we began a whole new relationship to each other and to the world in general. Let us begin now.
Out-Of-Control Yimby Development On Canada’s Shores
by Irwin Jerome
The density/no density debate on Canada’s northern shores, in every one of its urban settings, like what is going on everywhere else in the world, continues to fuel the never-ending hostilities between the Nimbys and the Yimbys. The NIMBYS and the YIMBYS, one could argue, are the two basic human personality-types that exist in the world; both of whom are as if total alien strangers to each other
AgriCrisis: A South Perspective
by Valan Rajkumar
Though we are divided by political boundaries, we are all united in terms of the hydro-geological unit. Though we are divided by our languages we are united in terms of our Ecological Spirituality. Let this bond be not broken by the dirty games of the corporate and silly electoral party politics. Let us be sensitive of the truth that our south zone is a globally sensitive geographic location that is endowed with the best blend of both rich biodiversity and ecological spirituality. Only such realization could be the bottom-line driving factor for building a broader force, to counter the proliferation of ‘culture of destruction’.
