Obama's Most Fateful Decision
By Jim Garrison
http://www.countercurrents.org/garrison151211.htm

Congressional Tyranny, White House Surrender
By Ralph Nader
http://www.countercurrents.org/nader151211.htm
Paraphrasing Shakespeare, something is rotten in the state of Capitol Hill. A majority of Congress is just about to put the finishing touches on an amendment to the military budget authorization legislation that will finish off some critical American rights under our Constitution
Methane Time Bomb In Arctic Seas: Apocalypse Not
By Andrew C. Revkin
http://www.countercurrents.org/revkin151211.htm

Deploying Renewable Energy To Protect Us
From Nuclear Accidents

Is there no alternative but to consider it as the major part of the future energy policy? In view of the huge opposition going on in the country w.r.t the Koodankulam nuclear power plant, and all the proposed nuclear power parks in the country, a rational look at much benign alternatives to nuclear power has become urgent
Masked In Gaza: The Untold History Of
Palestinian 'Militancy'
By Ramzy Baroud
http://www.countercurrents.org/baroud151211.htm

Recovering From Authoritarian Simpatico
Syndrome (ASS): "Because The Cops Don't
Need You And Man They Expect The Same"
By Phil Rockstroh
http://www.countercurrents.org/rockstroh161211.htm
Witnessing the acts and utterances of Republican presidential candidates can be regarded as a helpful psychological exercise, a type of "exposure therapy" involving the development of methods used to bear the presence of unbearable people who insist on evincing the history of human ignorance, duplicity and insanity

If the "99%" is to become more than a stylish meme, if it's to become a force to change the world, eventually we will undoubtedly have to confront some of the class and racial divisions that lie within it. But we need to do so patiently, respectfully, and always with an eye to the next big action -- the next march, or building occupation, or foreclosure fight, as the situation demands
How Doctors Die
By Ken Murray

If there is a state of the art of end-of-life care, it is this: death with dignity. As for me, my physician has my choices. They were easy to make, as they are for most physicians. There will be no heroics, and I will go gentle into that good night. Like my mentor Charlie. Like my cousin Torch. Like my fellow doctors
