http://www.countercurrents.org/gaist090615.htm

The Reversal of Kerry's Ukraine Statement Came From Obama, Not Nuland
By Eric Zuesse
http://www.countercurrents.org/zuesse060915.htm
When Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland on May 15th contradicted her boss John Kerry's statement of three days earlier, in which Kerry had warned Ukraine's President Petro Petroshenko not to violate the Minsk II agreement, and not to invade Crimea, and not to re-invade Donbass, the source of this reversal was actually U.S. President Barack Obama, and not Victoria Nuland (as the State Department had reported)
10 Reasons The TPP Is Not A 'Progressive' Trade Agreement
By Ralph Nader
http://www.countercurrents.org/nader090615.htm
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is formally described as a trade and foreign investment agreement between 12 nations -- Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United States and Vietnam. The White House is now pressuring Congress to Fast Track through the TPP. Fast Track authority, a Congressional procedure to limit time for debate and prohibit amendments to proposed legislation, has already passed in the Senate, although only after an unexpectedly rough ride. Here are 10 reasons why the TPP is explicitly not a "progressive" trade agreement
What's Wrong With The Obama Administration's Trade-Deal Arguments
By Eric Zuesse
http://www.countercurrents.org/zuesse090615.htm
Barack Obama wants to bring the world into international fascist control more than has ever yet existed on this planet. If he succeeds, he will thus be the most harmful political leader in world history. His deals must be stopped. They are horrendous
Fear And Learning In Kabul
By Kathy Kelly
http://www.countercurrents.org/kelly090615.htm
That message of courage and compassion will not -- and cannot-- always prevail. But if we take note of it, and even more, if, learning from its example, we take action to exemplify it ourselves, then it offers us a path out of childish fear, out of panicked collusion in war, and out, perhaps, of war's mad grip. We ourselves arrive in a notably better world when we determine to build it for others. Our own education, our own victory over fear, and our own arrival as equals in an adult world, can begin or begin again – now. So let us begin

Exposing Lies of Empire by Andre Vltchek is an 800-page tour of the world between 2012 and 2015 without a Western tour guide. It ought to make you spitting-mad furious, then grateful for the enlightenment, and then ready to get to work
BBC Panorama Programme: Promoting GMO And Cultivating Ignorance
By Colin Todhunter
http://www.countercurrents.org/todhunter090615.htm
I wasn't expecting much. So I wasn't disappointed when I didn't receive much. I'm talking about the BBC Panorama programme on GMOs that aired in the UK on Monday 8 June. The title of the programme was 'GM Food – Cultivating Fear'. So it was pretty much clear what was to follow
The Zionist Lobby Goes Wild Over BDS
By Ludwig Watzal
http://www.countercurrents.org/watzal090615.htm
The Zionist Lobby sees "delegitimization of Israel" as an existential threat. The BDS movement seems even more dangerous than the non-existent Iranian nuclear arsenal. But the real problem is the Palestinian people. They are still in their country that the Zionist colonizers regard as theirs as many members of Netanyahu's government mentioned recently. The problem for the West is not BDS, which is overdue, but rather Israel's "ethno-religious-supremacists" regime, which looks like an "Islamic State" disguised in Jewish garments
The Postmortem Of Scrapping Telecom Services In The Kashmir Valley
By Dr. Fayaz Ahmad Bhat
http://www.countercurrents.org/bhat090615.htm
Now the question is why government and its agencies can be responsible for scrapping telecommunication services in the valley? What are the objectives and motives behind scrapping mobile service?
