Reform Of The Financial System: Money Without Debt or Interest
by Dick Clifford
The current financial system cannot provide sufficient funds now to reduce unemployment or to alleviate the suffering of the 800 million across the world who are in poverty, close to starvation. The only remedy is for governments to provide debt free money without charging interest. This will not be easy. Governments will want to provide infrastructure. Roads, Transport, Hospitals, Schools and at the same time funds to solve the global warming problem. But they must ensure that the money provided is only sufficient to eliminate unemployment, anymore will result in inflation.
Hail Emmanuel Caesar! The Bankster Macron And Pax Francais in Africa
by Thomas C Mountain
Emmanuel Macron wears the crown of Caesar in France today, with Presidential powers of Imperial proportions with his vision for Pax Francais in Africa pointing towards more of “Hollandism”, his predecessors practice of putting more boots on the ground to insure French access to Africa’s natural resources.
The Release of Chelsea Manning
by Dr Binoy Kampmark
It was one of the brighter acts in a darkening turmoil in the last parts of the Obama presidency, but the decision to commute Chelsea Manning’s sentence added a zest of enlightenment. Manning had already found herself on the slippery slope to doom, having made two attempts at suicide the previous year, and facing the torment of incarceration in a men’s military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
The Public Or The Agrochemical Industry: Who Does The European Chemicals Agency Serve?
Co-Written by Colin Todhunter & Rosemary Mason
Let us hope that they also pay serious attention to the findings of the Monsanto Tribunal and the legal cases pending against Monsanto at this time. Whether politicians, bureaucrats, other senior figures or scientists-cum-lobbyists for the industry, those who collude with corporations to facilitate ecocide and human rights abuses could one day be made to answer for their actions in a court of law.

Hindutva: The “Opium” Of The People!
by Mohammad Ashraf
The Hindutva wave of violence during the elections and after is not really against Muslims and for the safety of the cows. It is an excuse to administer what Karl Marx called the “Opium of the people” to the millions of poor Indians!

CounterCurrents: West Ignores 11 Million Muslim War Deaths & 23 Million Preventable American Deaths Since US Government's False-flag 9-11 Atrocity, Washington Threatens Confrontation With Russia Over Syria, Pro-Kurdish HDP Party Offices Attacked Across Turkey,
Much of the refugee crisis, civil unrest and killing can be attributed to US War Mongers, a Bloated Defense Budget in search of WAR.
When do you stand against it?
The US can't re-build crumbling roads and bridges, can't feed hungry children, can't house the homeless, yet this defines the Moral Bankruptcy of the US:
It doesn't begin to define the extent of EMPIRE BUILDING, the War Profiteers, the Military-Industrial-Congressional Complex, the Chicken Hawk NeoCons that will lead to the bankruptcy of the US, penalizes its citizens, kills and destroys people and nations.

Washington Threatens Confrontation With Russia Over Syria
By Bill Van Auken
http://www.countercurrents.org/auken090915.htm
The Obama administration has ratcheted up tensions with Moscow over unsubstantiated claims of a Russian military buildup in support of the Syrian government of President Bashar al-Assad. Any expanded Russian presence on Syrian soil could lead to a “confrontation” with Washington’s “coalition,” which has been bombing Syria, supposedly with the aim of countering the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), US Secretary of State John Kerry threatened in a phone call to his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov over the weekend
It’s Time To Reopen The American And Iranian Embassies And Promote Reconciliation
By Franklin Lamb
http://www.countercurrents.org/lamb090915.htm
Last month's historic nuclear agreement breakthrough, following nearly two years of grueling, frequently contentious negotiations, manifests the efficacy of diplomacy conducted in an atmosphere of mutual respect to solve shared challenges among states that were formerly enemies
Pro-Kurdish HDP Party Offices Attacked Across Turkey
By Sosyalist Alternatif (CWI Turkey)
http://www.countercurrents.org/sat090915.htm
Tuesday 8 September, some 126 offices of the HDP across the country were attacked, burnt or ransacked by mobs, mainly linked to the far-right MHP (Grey Wolves) nationalists and to the ruling AKP. Many Kurdish people and activists have also been under attack, in an apparent lynch campaign. The Turkish police, which has dramatically stepped up its repression against the activities of the left in recent weeks, took hardly any action against the assailants
West Ignores 11 Million Muslim War Deaths & 23 Million Preventable
American Deaths Since US Government's False-flag 9-11 Atrocity
By Dr Gideon Polya
http://www.countercurrents.org/polya090915.htm
The 9-11 anniversary approaches but the Western Mainstream media and politicians memorializing the 3,000 killed will utterly ignore the realities that (1) 9-11 was a Zionist-complicit US Government false-flag operation , (2) US Governments lied and obstructed post-9-11 investigations, (3) 11 million Muslims have been actively or passively killed in the $7 trillion post-9-11 US War on Terror, and (4) 23 million Americans have died preventably since 9-11
Global Poverty And The UN Millennium Development Goals Program
By Jon Kofas
http://www.countercurrents.org/kofas090915.htm
One must also see through UN MDG as an effort to camouflage the growing inequality capitalism is creating and the growing lack of social justice. One could also argue that the UN MDG program is a Trojan Horse of imperialism on the part of the richest countries laying the groundwork the largest corporations to penetrate the less developed regions where most natural resources are available for exploitation and where labor costs are the lowest on the planet
Elites Want More Refugees: Why?
By Robert J. Burrowes
http://www.countercurrents.org/burrowes090915.htm
Elites generate one crisis after another as an inevitable outcome of their insane actions to perpetuate, consolidate and expand their control over the rest of us. If we are not sufficiently aware, we can become preoccupied in just dealing with one or more symptoms of their insanity. Elites want more refugees partly because it helps to distract us from analysing and resisting what they are doing overall. While we must act in solidarity with those they victimize, like the refugees fleeing their war zones at the moment, we also need to expose and strategically resist the global elite itself or, eventually, suffer the same (or an equivalent) fate as today's refugees
The Predicament That Is Whistleblowing In India
By Aayush Anand
http://www.countercurrents.org/anand090915.htm
The war against corruption can not be won by passionate speech making or radio shows. For complete annihilation of corruption from the deepest cranny of this country, judicious policy making is required. India has already lost many meticulous individuals who could have brought significant change in the ever deteriorating scenario of governance in India, had their life not been cut short by the unscrupulous and amorals, deep rooted in the system, to protect their selves
Academics In Danger
By Umer Jeelanie Bnaday
http://www.countercurrents.org/bnaday090915.htm
State power is not the only threat to academia’s freedom. In accepting endowments universities must insist on “their freedom from the promptings of private interest”. Also, academics must “renounce their ambition to play a part in partisan political controversy”. It is the freedom by which truth can be pursued. The battle of separation in India from the states has yet to begin in earnest
