Top Down Takeover Of Egypt's Revolution
By Shamus Cooke
http://www.countercurrents.org/cooke060211.htm
The revolution in Egypt erupted like all revolutions do, from the bottom up. It was unemployment and high food prices that propelled working and poor people into action. Now, the media reports that the "opposition" in Egypt is a group of well-to-do folks who have very little in common with the poor of Egypt. This top down takeover of the revolution is being engineered with the support of the U.S. and European nations, the same allies of the dictatorship that lasted three decades
The Wrong Mubarak Quits. Soon The Right One Will Go

Protesters in Tahrir Square are right to be sceptical despite the apparent shake-up in Egypt's ruling party
Tunisia, Egypt, ..... Will The U.S. Be Next?
By Paul Cienfuegos
http://www.countercurrents.org/cienfuegos060211.htm
Tunisia and Egypt are both ruled by dictators, as are many other societies in the Arab world and beyond. But is it really that different in these United States, as our corporate media and government leaders would have us believe? Is this country so democratic and free that a similar sort of uprising is not needed here?
Guantánamo Prisoner Dies After Being Held
For Nine Years Without Charge or Trial
By Andy Worthington
http://www.countercurrents.org/worthington060211.htm
On Thursday the Pentagon announced that Awal Gul, a 48-year old Afghan prisoner, who had been held for nine years without charge or trial and was scheduled to be held forever, died in a shower after suffering a heart attack. Gul had never been held as a prisoner of war, and despite the US government's assertions that he could be held forever, no one in a position of authority — neither President Bush nor President Obama — had ever adequately demonstrated that he constituted a threat to the United States
Be Inspired Out Of Your Minds!

http://www.countercurrents.org/ghista060211.htm
We should shed boundless tears of joy in solidarity with our brothers and sisters of Egypt, and due to our universal minds we are longing to join them to be a part of the most glorious revolution in 200 years!! This is a revolution for freedom, real freedom, and for dignity
We're All Egyptians Now!
By Stephen Lendman
http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman060211.htm
Egyptians, Tunisians, and Yemenis, and Algerians, and Jordanians, and Lebanese, and, of course, Palestinians, suffering for over six decades after Israel stole their historic homeland, over 43 years under brutal, suffocating occupation. Their struggle is ours, and it's high time we reacted, showing spirit as courageous as theirs
Iraqis Step Up Protest In Job And Food Crisis
By Nizar Latif
http://www.countercurrents.org/latif060211.htm
Protesters who stormed government buildings and a police station in a small, poor southern Iraqi town on Thursday continued their demonstrations yesterday, despite a crackdown by security forces. Angry residents in Hamza, in Diwaniya province, 180 kilometres south of Baghdad, took to the streets for a third day yesterday after protests over shortages of power, food and jobs, as well as political corruption, turned violent

Haiti Update: Electoral Runoff And Aristide's Status
By Stephen Lendman
http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman060211A.htm
With world attention focused on Middle East events, mainly Egypt's, Haiti's gotten little attention despite its compelling need for real change. So far, it's nowhere in sight, nor openly discussed, or demanded like visible millions are doing abroad
Honoring Reagan
By Peter Chamberlin
http://www.countercurrents.org/chamberlin060211.htm
Reagan's revolution was a counterfeit revolution, taking America in a direction the Founding Fathers never intended. History has been hijacked by an international cartel, intent upon creating a Fascist global government, subservient to the dictates of the cartel. Reagan and all those who come after him have merely been puppets of that international cartel. The sooner we all face that fact the sooner we begin a real resistance movement here in our homeland. Honoring Reagan or the forces he has set into motion is a disservice to the past

If the rice procurement is so effective why are the paddy farmers committing suicide? I would be glad if some people who have been closely involved and have been following the revamped PDS can enlighten us more
The Insanity With Security Gadgets Must End
By Dr. Habib Siddiqui
http://www.countercurrents.org/siddiqui060211.htm
It is high time for Secretary Napolitano's office to stop the insanity with scan machines which serve no purpose other than costing American government and its people billions of dollars. Surely, if a terrorist wants to carry out its deadly attack, the gathering places of the passengers for security check-ups are easier targets. He/she need not even go through the scan machine to commit the heinous crime. So whom are we fooling with expensive gadgets that do nothing other than fattening the coffer of the vested interest?
