G-20 Summit: Learning From A Frog In A Pond
By Devinder Sharma
www.countercurrents.org/sharma300309.htm
We haven’t learnt from the frog. We live on Earth, and yet we have eaten up the natural resources. In our quest for economic growth, we have destroyed the planet treating nature as an economic commodity to be sold. Is this the path we should continue to move on? Should we not learn from the frog, and try to reverse the destructive path? Should we not try to preserve the pond that we live in?

So the Indian prime minister still loves Bush? From Palestine to Iraq to Europe, voices of anger, hope and resistance from across the gigantic wave of protest in London is rising like a tide each passing moment. This marks the first landmark of mass peaceful resistance in the post-Obama era

The Web Of Precariousness
By Gaither Stewart

Precariousness looms like a black cloud over the continent of Europe. The fragility of human life and of the life style generations of westerners are accustomed to today rages like a modern plague. Precariousness is a contagious disease. It leaps from worker to worker, from class to class. No wonder that life in our times has never seemed more temporary. Permanence belongs to another age

By Stephen Lendman

This article responds to a March 15 Los Angeles Times Judea Pearl one headlined: “Is anti-Zionism hate?” Pearl calls anti-Zionism “hate more dangerous than anti-Semitism, threatening lives and peace in the Middle East.” Zionism is precisely the opposite as numerous Jewish writers, including this one, have addressed

Capitalist Incarnate: My interview With A Vampire
By Jason Miller
www.countercurrents.org/miller300309.htm
While it’s a commonly held belief that “everyone has a nonbiological twin somewhere in the world,” I wonder if we all have an antithetical “anti-twin” as well. Because I recently met someone who could easily be mine. Ironically enough, it was at the public library, one of my favorite haunts

Obama Looks More And More Like Bush
By Timothy V. Gatto
www.countercurrents.org/gatto300309.htm
Both the Democrats and Republicans are part of the corporacracy that enables the looting of the American treasury to continue. The government does its level best to keep us embroiled in controversy over left/right, liberal/conservative, race and anything else they can think of to keep the citizen’s eye off what is really happening. It is a shame that more people in America can’t learn to think with their heads instead of their hearts

On March 23rd, Sabina Ariola, the leader of “Citizens for Excellence, Progress, Peace towards the Country’s Great Future,” was gunned down. She is the 992nd civilian to be killed in the ongoing spree of extra-judicial killings that have been occurring since 2001, when Gloria Macapagal Arroyo assumed the presidency. Another particularly despicable killing that occurred in March was that of Rebelyn Pitao, a 20 year old teacher in Davao, southern Philippines. She was tortured, raped, strangled and stabbed according to Alan Davis of the Philippine Human Rights Recording Project

The main issue before the Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (PFUJ) meeting over the weekend in the central Punjab city of Faisalabad is the threat faced by journalists in this conflict-ridden South Asian country. The cold-blooded murder of yet another journalist in Rawalpindi, twin city of the capital Islamabad, on Mar. 26, underlined the gravity of the situation

Sudan: Justice Or A Poisoned Chalice?
By Steven Fake & Kevin Funk
www.countercurrents.org/funk300309.htm
The ICC has broken new ground in issuing its first-ever arrest warrant for a sitting head-of-state, but has no obvious way forward. How the world proceeds will determine not only the future of the Sudanese nation, but will also impact long-simmering efforts to end impunity everywhere
