How Rising CO2 Levels May Contribute To Die-Off Of Bees 
By Lisa Palmer 

http://www.countercurrents.org/palmer140516.htm

As they investigate the factors behind the decline of bee populations, scientists are now eyeing a new culprit — soaring levels of carbon dioxide, which alter plant physiology and significantly reduce protein in important sources of pollen


NIA Must Look Into The Mohan Bhagwat Confession And Art Of Living Involvement
By Shamsul Islam

http://www.countercurrents.org/shams140516.htm

The latest turn around by the NIA in cases of bomb blasts by the Hindutva cadres against Muslims in different parts of the country including blasts in Samjhauta Express in 2007 makes it very clear that finally the Hindutva terrorists are going to be gradually reprieved as per the plan scripted by the current Indian rulers who also happen to be senior cadres of the RSS. It was not unexpected once Modi government assumed power in 2014. The chief prosecutor Rohini Salian in the case had warned that it was coming in the first half of 2015 itself


Why I Am A Communist 
By Andre Vltchek

http://www.countercurrents.org/vltchek140516.htm

I have no doubt that we will win. But I also suspect that before we do, the Empire will bathe entire continents in blood. Desire of Westerners to rule and to control is pathological. They are ready to murder millions of those who are unwilling to fall on their knees. They already murdered hundreds of millions, throughout the centuries. And they will sacrifice millions more. But this time, they will be stopped. I believe it, and shoulder-to-shoulder with others,I am working day and night to make it happen. Because it is my duty... Because I’m a Communist!


Killing Carp In Australia: Genocidal Fantasies Down Under 
By Dr. Binoy Kampmark

http://www.countercurrents.org/kampmark140516.htm

Apart from that farcical sideshow, the biosecurity business in Australia is serious. It is also conspicuously genocidal, and would satisfy any species-killing definition. Some sense of this could be gathered at the announcement earlier this month by the Science Minister Christopher Pyne that $15 million would be set aside for a plan to eradicate European Carp from the Murray Darling Basin using a strain of herpes, cyprinid herpesvirus-3. According to the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources, the fish make up 90 percent of the fish in the basin


This Is Where The Jobs Are!
By Vijaya Kumar Marla

http://www.countercurrents.org/marla140516.htm

Development of rural areas will stop the migration of the rural people to the cities and this will not put more pressure on the urban jobs. If India as a nation has to progress, there is little doubt that India’s villages too have to progress. India needs creative solutions to start a revolution which can take its villages fast forward in time, such as the creation of a knowledge and information economy that can create opportunities and thereby prosperity to impoverished areas: a) To create a self-reliant, self-sustainable village economy. b) To provide resources for locally-made products to be value added to the highest possible degree within the village so that wealth generated stays with the villagers


“National Security, Holier Than ‘Human Security’ In India” 
By K.M Seethi

http://www.countercurrents.org/seethi140516.htm

The leaders of the ‘holy’ land of India who make ‘poverty and starvation deaths’ as political ‘weapons’ against their respective opponents must relook the colossal amount being spent on weapons and their guards every year in the name of ‘national security.’ How much money the government can set apart for ‘food security’ and ‘health security’ of millions of such people whose status is now derogatorily compared with Somalia?


Tobacco Control Must Be A Priority For Health Professionals
By Shobha Shukla and Bobby Ramakant

http://www.countercurrents.org/shukla140516.htm

As lung cancer treatment outcomes are difficult and five-year survival is abysmally low, preventing lung cancer is a top public health priority. Up to 90% of lung cancer cases are because of tobacco use. Therefore effective implementation of evidence-based and comprehensive tobacco control policies will make a huge difference in slashing new cases of lung cancer as well as preventing a large number of other diseases, disabilities and premature deaths attributed to tobacco use” said Professor (Dr) Prakit Vathesatogkit, Executive Secretary of Action on Smoking and Health Foundation of Thailand

Brazil Senate Vote Ousts Workers Party President Dilma Rousseff
By Bill Van Auken 

http://www.countercurrents.org/auken130516.htm

After a twenty-hour debate that ended only at 5:45 AM in Brasilia, the Brazilian Senate voted to initiate impeachment proceedings against President Dilma Rousseff, suspending her from office. While only a simple majority was needed to start a trial of the Workers Party (Partido dos Trabalhadores--PT) president, her opponents mustered 55 votes in favor, one more than a two-thirds majroity, with only 22 against


Save Humanity And The Biosphere Through Zero Tolerance 
For Deadly Neoliberalism And Remorseless Neoliberals
By Dr Gideon Polya

http://www.countercurrents.org/polya130516.htm

Greed-driven neoliberalism is currently the dominant economic philosophy globally but has driven Humanity to the edge – a catastrophic 2 degree Centigrade temperature rise is now essentially inevitable, 17 million people die avoidably from deprivation each year, 7 million people die annually from air pollution and as many as 10 billion people will die this century if man-made climate change is not requisitely addressed. We can only save Humanity and the Biosphere through implacable zero tolerance for deadly neoliberalism and remorseless neoliberals


The Real Oil Limits Story; What Other Researchers Missed 
By Gail Tverberg

http://www.countercurrents.org/tverberg130516.htm

Most researchers begin with the view that soon there will be a problem with energy scarcity. The real issue that tends to bring the system down is related, but it is fairly different. It is the fact that as we use energy, the system necessarily generates entropy. This entropy takes the form of rising debt and increased pollution. It is these entropy-related issues, rather than a shortage of energy products per se, that tends to bring the system down


Why Joe The Plumber Doesn't Want Renewable Energy 
By Ugo Bardi

http://www.countercurrents.org/bardi130516.htm

The difficulty of the problem is evident if we consider what happened during the past decade, when the "financial system" poured gigantic amounts of money into the shale gas and oil industry. And we all know the story of the great bubble that's bursting out right now. But it is not just a question of money: it has been an incredible misuse of resources affecting a whole civilization; something that may well have doomed it for good, also in terms of the large quantity of greenhouse gases emitted and that didn't need to be emitted. And I can't avoid thinking, "what if all that money and resources had been used for renewables, instead?" The world, today, would be completely different


Why Sanders Continues Campaigning 
By Eric Zuesse

http://www.countercurrents.org/zuesse130516.htm

There are two realistic scenarios for Bernie Sanders to win the U.S. Presidency. One depends upon his receiving the Democratic Party’s nomination. The other doesn’t, but both are realistic


Once Again In Chhattisgarh, The Nightmare Of 
Rape, Loot And Physical Violence Repeats Itself
By Women Against Sexual Violence and State Repression

http://www.countercurrents.org/wss130516.htm

A team of activists from Women Against Sexual Violence and State Repression (WSS) and independent women activists and reporters visited villages in Bijapur following a series of recent reports of mass sexual violence and assault on adivasi women by security forces and police in the area. Villagers reported several instances of loot, plunder, arrests and violence over the last couple of years. In two recent such operations, one young man was shot dead and then falsely declared a Naxal. Two young women were stripped and abducted, and a young mother was raped


When Gods Are Threatened 
By Surabhi Singh

http://www.countercurrents.org/surabhi130516.htm

If the Hindutva brigade has to win in India, the animism of the Adivasis, has to lose. That’s because Adivasi Gods do not preach fear and cast its believer with its wrath at the drop of a hat. But mostly, the Sangh denies adivasis the status of the original dwellers, their very own stake into the survival, because the latter’s existence runs counter to its own claim that the Aryans, who brought vedic civilization to the country, are the original inhabitants of the land


Five Men In A Tinnie: Australia, Terror And The ‘Islamic State’ Arrests 
By Dr. Binoy Kampmark

http://www.countercurrents.org/kampmark130516.htm

The Tuesday arrests of five Australian men in the northern Queensland tropical city of Cairns suspected of wanting to join the Islamic State campaign in Syria by the Australian Federal Police seemed to be more farce than substance. It resembled, superficially, a revamped variant of Jerome K. Jerome’s 1889 Three Men in a Boat


The Crisis Of The Neoliberal Model Of Higher Education 
By Jon Kofas

http://www.countercurrents.org/kofas130516.htm

America’s neoliberal model of higher education will not change because the political economy is based on the neoliberal model and the entrenched elites support it. There are Republicans, including Trump, that are interested in privatizing Veterans affairs health care system, thus indicating the course of neoliberal policies will continue not diminish. This privatization craze is at the core of neoliberal ideological framework, and this is one reason they oppose free tuition for public universities. The success of higher education in Germany, France, Norway, Sweden, Finland, among some of European countries offering college-free tuition, as well as Brazil and Argentina means nothing to the neoliberal defenders of the system


Forced Eviction And Demolition Drive In Indore
By National Alliance of People’s Movements

http://www.countercurrents.org/napm130516.htm

The Smart Cities flagship modernization programme of the Modi government is huge in its scale and vicious in the way it has acquired land for the development of cities. This programme aspires to transform nearly 100 cities in India into Smart Cities and has a huge budgetary allowance of Rs. 7,060 crores. The reality of this transformation is however destructive and dangerous for people of lower middle and middle income groups in the urban areas. Indore, one of the cities selected for this programme has been bearing witness to the violent way in which the State has been acquiring land for this programme during the last 2 months

"Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear -- kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor -- with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it by furnishing the exorbitant funds demanded" - General Douglas MacArthur
