Pakistan's government is facing rising national anger as the devastating floods along the Indus River show little sign of abating. Some 1,600 people have died, and upwards of six million people are directly affected, according to the latest estimates from the United Nations, which has compared the scale of the crisis to the 2005 earthquake


Moscow Suffocates As Wildfires Continue Burning
By Andrea Peters

http://www.countercurrents.org/peters100810.htm

Heavy smoke caused by burning wildfires continues to blanket Moscow, forcing the city's 11 million residents to don facemasks and cover windows with wet cloths in an effort to protect their lungs from the polluted air. The death rate in Russia's capital nearly doubled in July, reported Chief of the Moscow Health Department Andrei Seltsovskii on Monday, with the city's morgues close to full capacity. "On normal days, between 360 and 380 die. Now it's around 700," explained Seltsovskii


Summer Reads
By Albert Bates

http://www.countercurrents.org/bates100810.htm

Until recently, many reports said global warming would be good for Russia, because the warmer climate would improve their agriculture. In 2010 the fields of burnt wheat disproved that theory. Who knew it would come down this way? That collapse would envelop us and we would still be, collectively speaking, as generally unaware of our peril as sheep being herded into the slaughter pen?


Igniting Armageddon In The Middle East
By DR. Elias Akleh

http://www.countercurrents.org/akleh100810.htm

An Israeli strike would ignite Armageddon in the Middle East, and it would spread to the rest of the world. The question that poses itself is: Is the American Congress really crazy to support such an Israeli strike?


A Break In Israeli-Turkish Relations?
By Avni Dogru

http://www.countercurrents.org/dogru100810.htm

It is clearly in everybody's advantage to resolve this Israeli-Turkish conflict before it's too late. Sadly, the Obama administration, the only actor who can reverse this trajectory, seems too pacified due to domestic political worries about the Jewish vote in November elections. In the meantime, the clock is ticking on the Israeli-Turkish front, and November would be too late to resolve anything


The Charade Begins: Netanyahu's Flotilla Massacre
Probe Testimony
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman100810.htm

On August 9, Israel's self-appointed Turkel Commission, its planned whitewash, began hearings into the Freedom Flotilla massacre, a humanitarian mission delivering essential aid to besieged Gazans, Israeli officials blaming the victims, not themselves


The Tears Of Gaza Must Be Our Tears
By Chris Hedges

http://www.countercurrents.org/hedges100810.htm

Chris Hedges made these remarks Thursday night in New York City at a fundraiser for sponsoring a U.S. boat to break the blockade of Gaza


Inside Gaza
By Sameh Habeeb

http://www.countercurrents.org/habeeb100810.htm

Life in Gaza is unique. Misery is mixed with joy, pain, happiness and suffering. Siege still suffocates people via different manners and tactics. Israel which indirectly pushed Hamas and Fateh towards the split is announcing day and night that siege has been lifted. But facts on the ground are obviously different. Siege is still on there with the same manner but with a different shape


One-State, Two-State And The American
Task Force On Palestine
By Antoine Raffoul

http://www.countercurrents.org/raffoul100810.htm

It is surely high time that all politicians, historians, writers and academics who still believe in and support the idea of a Two-State solution to the Israel-Palestine tragedy to come forward and submit, once and for all, a clear and transparent statement outlining exactly what they really mean by the Two-State solution. They have had 62 years to advance this idea and they have failed


Please Don't Shoot The Messenger
By Charlotte

http://www.countercurrents.org/charlotte100810.htm

If Bradley Manning did leak anything, which we do not yet know, he certainly did not enlist and go overseas to do so. More likely, what he saw while he was there changed who and what he trusted. It did not, however, change what he believed in – which was still truth and justice


Did WikiLeaks Endanger Lives?
By James Cerveny

http://www.countercurrents.org/cerveny100810.htm

The government's whining about the dangers caused by the leaks is nothing but crocodile tears. Demonizing WikiLeaks is a classic case of projection by now a second administration in complete denial regarding its hubris, incompetence, and indifference to human suffering

Cob
By Brian Kaller

http://www.countercurrents.org/kaller100810.htm

For hundreds of years, people built their own homes in Ireland, and some of these were built using the most common, simple and inexpensive building material on Earth -- earth itself. A few "cob homes" are still standing after hundreds of years, as are similar homes in the Middle East and China


New Perspectives On The Energy Return On
(Energy) Investment (EROI) Of Corn Ethanol:
part 2 of 2
By David Murphy

http://www.countercurrents.org/murphy100810.htm

The EROI of corn ethanol that we calculated is lower than the 3:1 threshold, indicating that corn ethanol requires large subsidies from the general fossil fuel economy, and as a result, drains energy from the US transportation system


Mosque Mania
By Stephan Salisbury

http://www.countercurrents.org/salisbury100810.htm

There is a distinct creepiness to the controversy now raging around a proposed Islamic cultural center in Lower Manhattan. The angry "debate" over whether the building should exist has a kind of glitch-in-the-Matrix feel to it, leaving in its wake an aura of something-very-bad-about-to-happen


Hijab Controversy: Certain Essential Aspects
By Dr. Asghar Ali Engineer

http://www.countercurrents.org/engineer100810.htm

But banning face veil can result, in many cases, in double oppression for women. If she is being coerced into wearing face veil she faces oppression from her family and if she is penalized or jailed for wearing veil she faces state oppression too, for no fault of hers. Thus she, as if, goes from one jail to another jail. Thus state rather than liberating her ends up oppressing her even more


Kashmir: Winning Hearts And Minds
By Rekha Chowdhary

http://www.countercurrents.org/chowdhary100810.htm

It is important at this moment for New Delhi to understand the level of discontent, anger, disillusionment and mistrust in Kashmir. Winning 'hearts and minds of people' in this situation is not very easy. It needs to create a minimum level of trust. But even for that, it will have to make extra efforts


Why Kashmir Burns
By Smita Singh

http://www.countercurrents.org/singh100810.htm

For Kashmiris the story of dissent and its repercussions has always been the same, perhaps it is time for us to listen

And The Glitterati Who Game The Global Empire
By Gary Corseri

Moscow is choking, Pakistan is drowning, Gaza is withering, war clouds gather over Iran and Korea… dead zones in the oceans… but, rejoice! Chelsea has married her investment banker!
