The Scourge Of 'Peak Oil'
 By Dahr Jamail

As consumption continues to increase in such major users as China, India, and the US, existing oil fields are being depleted and new discoveries are not keeping apace in order to offset growing demand


Galactic Scale Energy Part 2:
 Can Economic Growth Last?
 By Tom Murphy

http://www.countercurrents.org/murphy270711.htm

There are well-developed steady-state economic models, pioneered by Herman Daly and others. There are even stepwise plans to transition our economy into a steady-state. But not one of those steps will be taken if people (who elect politicians) do not crave this result. The only way people will crave this result is if they understand (or experience) the impossibility of continued growth and the consequences of not acting soon enough. I hope we can collectively be smart enough to make this transition


Every Great Social Movement

Growing Water Deficit Threatening Grain Harvests
 By Lester Brown

http://www.countercurrents.org/brown270711.htm

The shrinkage of irrigation water supplies in the big three grain-producing countries—the United States, India, and China—is of particular concern. Thus far, these countries have managed to avoid falling harvests at the national level, but continued overexploitation of aquifers could soon catch up with them

Love Comes More Naturally
 To The Human Heart: Nelson Mandela
 By Diane V. McLoughlin

http://www.countercurrents.org/mcLoughlin270711.htm

The dark clouds of racism and war swell ominously on the horizon today. Nelson Mandela's heartening message is more timely than ever, and it is his lived experience; from oppressed political prisoner, to president of a nation that aspires to be a rainbow nation of many colors, free from oppression, discrimination and fear


NATO of Terror
 By Ghali Hassan

http://www.countercurrents.org/hassan270711.htm

As the U.S. and its Western allies become more addicted to war and terror, there will be far more innocent people killed by U.S.-NATO forces in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. People should not fall into media manipulation and distortion. Only resistance by people worldwide will stop NATO terror and force Western leaders to choose the path of peace


The Role Of Jews In The Palestinian
 Solidarity Movement
 By Henry Herskovitz & Michelle J. Kinnucan

http://www.countercurrents.org/kinnucan270711.htm

Sincere Jews should not play leading roles in the Palestinian solidarity movement, but should instead expose and challenge the racism that exists in their own Jewish communities. So what are Jewish-led and Jewish-identified groups and leaders doing? Certainly, they criticize atrocities committed by Israel in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem, but are they clearly defining their positions? Do they oppose Jewish supremacism?
