Greater Than The Great Depression?
By Tom Engelhardt
www.countercurrents.org/engelhardt210109.htm
We don’t know what the world holds for us in the Obama years, but it’s not likely to be pretty and some of what’s heading our way may not be in any of the familiar playbooks by which we’ve been operating for the past half century-plus. We don’t yet know if whole countries, even whole continents, may collapse in the economic, or environmental, rubble of our twenty-first century moment, or what that would actually mean

The Clothes Wear A New Emperor
By Ramsefall
www.countercurrents.org/ramsefall210109.htm
The Emperor may be new – image, articulation and character – but the clothes are sewn from the same silky, rhetorical themes of nobility, prosperity and patriotism which have been so deceptively and manipulatively spewed forth at previous inaugurations. National security, jobs, production, economy, education, leadership – Amerika’s greatness and its God-proclaimed responsibility to lead the world is just as farcically magnanimous as it has been for so many generations

US Markets Plummet As Banks Falter And World Slump Deepens
By Patrick O’Connor

Even as Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th US president, Wall Street markets fell sharply in response to further indications of the accelerating crisis of American and world capitalism. The stock market decline, triggered by reports of massive losses suffered by US and European banks, was the worst ever inauguration day sell-off

State Terrorism Against Gaza
By Ralph Nader

What is going on in Gaza is what Bill Moyers called it earlier this month – “state terrorism.” Already about 400 children are known to have died. More will be added who are under the rubble

Isn’t It Time For A War Crimes Tribunal?
By Robert Fisk
www.countercurrents.org/fisk210109.htm
It was pathetic. When I asked Mr Ban if he would consider a UN war crimes tribunal in Gaza, he said this would not be for him to “determine”. But only a few journalists bothered to listen to him and his officials were quickly folding up the UN flag on the table. About time too. Bring back the League of Nations. All is forgiven

Israel’s Right To Defend Itself
By Joseph Massad
www.countercurrents.org/massad210109.htm
The Palestinians, students of a universal humanism in which they consider themselves equal to everyone else, keep failing Israel’s racial lessons and tests. What the Palestinians ultimately insist on is that Israel must be taught that it does not have the right to defend its racial supremacy and that the Palestinians have the right to defend their universal humanity against Israel’s racist oppression. Will Israel and its allies ever learn that lesson? Israeli history tells us that as students of racial supremacy, Zionists have always failed the test of universal humanism

Al Nakba Redux
By Stephen Lendman
www.countercurrents.org/lendman210109.htm
For Palestinians, the Nakba “Catastrophe” is their “Holocaust” six-month slaughter and displacement before and after the May 1948 establishment of Israel. In December 1947, Jews in Palestine numbered 600,000 compared to 1.3 million Palestinians. David Ben-Gurion ordered them removed and for “Every attack…to end with occupation, destruction and expulsion.”

The Israeli Invasion Of Gaza; Politics By Other Means
By William James Martin
www.countercurrents.org/martin210109.htm
Because of the constant killing and massacres of Palestinians, the latest instant of mass slaughter is occurring as I write this, the state of Israel has no moral right to exists. Israel needs to be replaced with a democratic egalitarian state which recognizes equal rights for all its citizens

I AM WARM – World Bank In India
By Bharti Patel
www.countercurrents.org/patel210109.htm
For years, loans from World Bank have been used to fund India’s infrastructural projects to include road and dam construction and watershed management. But despite the enormous expenditure on every project, there is a growing body of evidence and disappointment in the outcome of these projects and its ultimate impact on India’s community and environment. A recent exposure of one such project in Tamil Nadu adds to the evidence
