Global Famine Is It A Conspiracy?
By Eric Walberg
www.countercurrents.org/walberg310808.htm
If indeed 6,000 elite business leaders control the world’s fate, surely such an immensely wealthy and powerful coterie could solve the food crisis in a flash. The massive expenditures on arms and the wanton destruction they cause every second, could, if stopped, provide the will and resources to restructure the world to end starvation, let alone poverty, leaving lots left over for the elite to wallow in. There is no organised force of any consequence opposing this world elite. What’s stopping it?

If as part of their strategy Hindu extremists disguise themselves as Muslims and then engage in terrorist activity, could they also be responsible for sending out emails claiming responsibility for blasts under assumed Muslim names and using an Islamic vocabulary? How then can we know who is responsible for the series of blasts that have ripped through a succession of Indian cities? What then of national security, public peace and communal harmony?

Dr. Ambedkar’s first academic paper “Caste in India: Their Mechanism, Genesis and Development” also begins with his concern towards women, where he located the linkages between caste and gender by observing that “Superimposition of endogamy on exogamy means creation of caste” and concluded that there is no divine or natural cause of origin of caste but Brahmins of ancient India craftily designed it by enclosing their class through means of controlling and subjugating their woman

By Sarandha
www.countercurrents.org/sarandha310808.htm
Now the river banks are up for sale because it is too much land lying ‘empty’, devoid of ‘development’, waiting to be constructed upon. Now the river itself is as dirty as a sewer. Now the government plans to ‘reclaim’ this lost, forgotten land, and show-case it to the world as a specimen of ‘A Site of Recreation’
