Hacktivist Releases 400GB From Government Hacking Contractor Tied to Repressive Regimes

Turkey Demands US Back War To Topple Syria’s Assad
By Bill Van Auken
http://www.countercurrents.org/auken081014.htm

America 's New War And Coming of The Age of Arab Discontent
By Dr. Mahboob A. Khawaja
http://www.countercurrents.org/khawaja081014.htm
After failure of the bogus War on Terrorism in Afghanistan and Iraq , America has embarked on a new war to support the war economy, re-enact failed global leadership imagery and destroy the entire Arab region to define unilaterally the fate of the people of Palestine . The Arab coalition leaders supporting the US war efforts to bomb ISIL positions in Iraq and Syria have no sense of reality and lack popular backing in their homeland. The authoritarian Arab leaders live in palaces, not with people to understand the outcomes of their political folly. Ironically, the US air strikes and killings of the civilians will instigate reactionary opposition and increased insurgency to topple the puppet regimes
ISIL: From Decapitation To Islamophobia
By Ismail Salami
http://www.countercurrents.org/salami081014.htm
With the ISIL terrorists mounting more gory adventurism in Syria and Iraq and capturing villages and towns, there seems to be no tangible impediment to stop this influx of terror. The ghastly images circulated freely by the cult on the internet from beheading to crucifying their victims in cold blood have incensed the international community on the one hand but on the other hand, they have regrettably conduced to Islamophobia, a plan long funded by the officials in Washington

Challenging Drone Warfare In A U.S. Court
By Kathy Kelly
http://www.countercurrents.org/kelly081014.htm
On October 7, 2014, Kathy Kelly and Georgia Walker appeared before Judge Matt Whitworth in Jefferson City, MO, federal court on a charge of criminal trespass to a military facility. The charge was based on their participation, at Whiteman Air Force Base, in a June 1 st 2014 rally protesting drone warfare. Kelly and Walker attempted to deliver a loaf of bread and a letter to the Base Commander, encouraging the commander to stop cooperating with any further usage of unmanned aerial vehicles, (drones) for surveillance and attacks
A Long Walk For Palestinian Freedom
By Vacy Vlazna
http://www.countercurrents.org/vlazna081014.htm
The savage horror of Israeli war crimes in Gaza was wreaked for 51 days in full view of the unconscionable inertia of the US, UN, UK, China, Russia, Canada, Australia. The people of Palestine cannot trust in world powers to bring about peace, but they can trust people power; they can trust the hundreds and thousands of people who took to the streets in protest and solidarity, they can trust in the inexorable buildup of BDS, they can trust a lone man who joined them on their long walk to freedom

http://www.countercurrents.org/moountain081014.htm
The small east African country of Eritrea has started a mining industry and is doing it right. To start with Eritrea is receiving 40% of the profits generated by its first gold/copper mine. Compare this to Tanzania where Anglo-American mining company operates one of the worlds largest gold mines and pays a whopping 4% royalty to the government

But, "the heart of the book" Piketty says, is his second major result. This is that there are major forces at work that push both towards increasing inequality (divergence) and decreasing inequality (convergence). I will call these D-forces and C-forces

Howard Zinn was a patriotic man with the interests of the American people as his first priority. He was a deciminator of truth even when it was unpopular and I feel honored to have had the privilege to have met him. He is greatly missed.
