Why WikiLeaks Must Be Protected
By John Pilger

http://www.countercurrents.org/pilger190810.htm

In a nation that claims its constitution protects truth-tellers, the Obama administration is pursuing and prosecuting more whistleblowers than any of its modern predecessors.

Assassination In Afghanistan And Task Force 373
By Pratap Chatterjee

http://www.countercurrents.org/chatterjee190810.htm

Task Force 373 may be a nightmare for Afghans. For the rest of us -- now that Wikileaks has flushed it into the open -- it should be seen as a symptom of deeper policy disasters. After all, it raises a basic question: Is this country really going to become known as a global Manhunters, Inc.?


The Internet Belongs To Us -- Tell The FCC To Stop
The Dangerous Google/Verizon Deal
By Amalia Deloney and Joshua Breitbart

http://www.countercurrents.org/amalia190810.htm

FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski seems to see his role as a broker among corporate interests, not as their regulator. This has to change

Playing The Never Again Card, Again
By Jeff Gates

http://www.countercurrents.org/gates190810.htm

The phony intelligence used to induce our March 2003 invasion of Iraq has been dusted off. This time it's being deployed to take us into Iran. Same scam. Same storyline. Same fraud—even featuring some of the same players


Israel Will Attack Iran: Will Israel Attack Iran?!
By Kourosh Ziabari

http://www.countercurrents.org/ziabari190810.htm

Those who mastermind the U.S.-directed psychological operation against Iran have obliviously forgotten that we're now accustomed to seeing the uninteresting, exhausting charade of "will attack Iran"; you put the subject for it, either the United States or Israel


Last Of The Combat Troops Leaving Iraq?
Only In Your Dreams
By Bill Noxid

http://www.countercurrents.org/noxid190810.htm

Watching MSNBC's coverage of 'the last combat troops leaving Iraq' for 3 hours reminded of a few brutal realities that still plague this country and this planet. The first being just how far this country remains from any semblance of reality. It's the kind of delusional denial that truly can only be believed when witnessed from within

On Security Threats
By Patrick Martin

http://www.countercurrents.org/martin190810.htm

Victimization And A Cultural Center
By Dan Lieberman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lieberman190810.htm

The polarizing debate continues, gathering steam with political implications; mosque or no mosque on Park Place, two city blocks from 'ground zero.' Guided by emotions, all of which are not entirely clear, and by spurious concepts, which proceed from conditioned thought, the negative reactions to the construction of an Islamic complex in New York City disintegrate from the force of logic and analysis

A Global Satellite Art Project
By Bill McKibben

http://www.countercurrents.org/mckibben190810.htm

On Nov. 27 (the opening weekend of the next big U.N. climate conference, in Cancun, Mexico), in 20 places around the world, we'll be gathering huge numbers of people -- thousands at a time. Some will be in deserts, some on snowfields, some wading out into warm lagoons -- anyplace with a good background. They will use their bodies to make giant images. And our good friends at Digital Globe Satellite will take their pictures from outer space


What If There's Much Less Coal Than We Think?
By David Roberts

http://www.countercurrents.org/roberts190810.htm

The current issue of the scientific journal Energy contains "A global coal production forecast with multi-Hubbert cycle analysis," by Tad Patzek and Gregory Croft.

The global peak of coal production from existing coalfields is predicted to occur close to the year 2011

By Richard Heinberg

http://www.countercurrents.org/heinberg190810.htm

Palestine: Occupied, Divided, Isolated,
Oppressed And Unaided
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman190810.htm

Palestinians live in constant fear, collectively punished, politically denied, and economically strangled in a continuing cycle of violence. Military orders deny free expression and movement, enclose population centers, close borders, and impose curfews, checkpoints, roadblocks, separation walls, electric fences, dispossessions, land seizures, and domination over all aspects of life under draconian military orders

The Fantasy Of The Presidency As Deus ex Machina
By Phil Rockstroh

http://www.countercurrents.org/rockstroh190810.htm

Behind the stagecraft is oligarchy. President Obama took millions from Goldman Sachs, et al. If there is a Captain Hook in this show, it is those Wall Street pirates who threw the global economy to the crocodiles for their ill-gotten gains


Raising A Child With Asperger's Syndrome
By Sherwood Ross

http://www.countercurrents.org/ross190810.htm

And if the wife is also battling skin cancer and has one child with Asperger's Syndrome, and another with anorexia, she is apt to write a book about her trials as Shonda Schilling has done, titled, "The Best Kind of Different: Our Family's Journey with Asperger's Syndrome(HarperCollins)." Fortunately, Shonda was a journalism major at Towson State College, Maryland, and knows how to tell a difficult story
