By Andrea Peters
http://www.countercurrents.org/peters190715.htm

Climate Change And Our Historic Calling
By Kathy Kelly

This is an historic time, posing a perfect storm of challenges to the survival of our species, a storm we can't weather without "all hands on deck." Whoever arrives to work beside us, and however quickly they arrive, we have heavy burdens to share with many others already lifting as much as they can, some taking theirs up by choice, some burdened beyond endurance by greedy masters
Abdulazeez And Abdulaziz
By Robert Barsocchini
http://www.countercurrents.org/barsocchini190715.htm
The Tennessee shooter is quoted in his high school year book as saying that his name, Abdulazeez, "causes national security alerts". This is now literally true, but is dependent on circumstances. One attack by an Abdulazeez is saturating US headlines and receiving stark condemnation from the US government/oligarchy (Obama called it "heartbreaking"), while an incomparably worse attack by an incomparably worse Abdulaziz, raining down on thousands of people, including US Americans abandoned by their oligarchy, is met with media silence and extreme support and participation from Washington

Introduction To The Political And Social Structures Of
Democratic Autonomy In Rojava
By Zanyar Omrani
http://www.countercurrents.org/omrani190715.htm
What goes on in Syrian Kurdistan cannot be reduced to the war against the ISIS, and in order to understand the events in Rojava, one should look into the newly established institutions which under the title of the Movement for a Democratic Society (KCK, called MED-VET in Rojava) are organizing all the events and fields in Rojava. The lack of research and study resources and the narrow literature of field studies, has made it difficult to fully define and pathologically explain the democratic autonomous system of the three cantons. In this report, the aim is to give a general view of the necessity of the social and political institutions and how they really function
