A Future In Prison
By Kathy Kelly

http://www.countercurrents.org/kelly230115.htm

The Bureau of Prisons contacted me today, assigning me a prison number and a new address: for the next 90 days, beginning tomorrow, I'll live at FMC Lexington, in the satellite prison camp for women, adjacent to Lexington's federal medical center for men. Very early tomorrow morning, Buddy Bell, Cassandra Dixon, and Paco and Silver, two house guests whom we first met in protests on South Korea's Jeju Island, will travel with me to Kentucky and deliver me to the satellite women's prison outside the Federal Medical Center for men


CNN Serves US Gov Policy, Casts Deceased Saudi Tyrant In Positive Light
By Robert Barsocchini

http://www.countercurrents.org/barsocchini230115.htm

" Reporting " on the death of Saudi dictator Abdullah in an article titled "Saudi Arabia's 'reformer' king Abdullah dies", CNN notes that his dictatorship is a "key US ally", and thus proceeds to paint an entirely sympathetic picture of his brutal regime, perhaps the world's most repressive. CNN expresses admiration for the dictatorship and hatred for the Saudi people, attempting to defend US policy of repressing those people by propping up the dictatorship since the 1930s, when Saudi oil was discovered

Drones And The New Ethics Of War
By Prof. Neve Gordon

http://www.countercurrents.org/gordon230115.htm

This Christmas small drones were among the most popular gift under the tree in the U.S. with manufacturers stating that they sold 200,000 new unmanned aerial vehicles during the holiday season. While the rapid infiltration of drones into the gaming domain clearly reflects that drones are becoming a common weapon among armed forces, their appearance in Walmart, Toys "R" Us and Amazon serves, in turn, to normalize their deployment in the military

British Have Invaded 193 Countries: Make 26 January

By Dr Gideon Polya

However the British invasion of Australia on 26 January 1788 ultimately destroyed as many as 600 unique Indigenous Australian tribes and a comparable number of languages and dialects

By Eric Zuesse

China paid Ukraine $3B two years Ago for grain still not delivered, now demands refund. Another $3.6B that's owed to China, will probably also default


Lessons That Hollande Failed To Learn From W. Bush's Plunders
By Ramzy Baroud

http://www.countercurrents.org/baroud230115.htm

Francois Hollande is not a popular president. No matter how hard the 'socialist' leader tries to impress, there never seems to be a no solid constituency that backs him. He attempted to mask his initial lack of experience in foreign affairs with a war in Mali, after his country enthusiastically took on Libya. While he succeeded at launching wars, he failed at managing their consequences as the latest attacks in Paris have demonstrated


French President Promised Justice But Terrorists Seek
Real Justice For Muslim Millions Slaughtered
By Jay Janson

http://www.countercurrents.org/janson230115.htm

Meaningful justice, would be Europeans recognizing their legal responsibility to compensate the survivors of Muslim and non-Muslim millions slaughtered, maimed, impoverished, enslaved and exploited on three continents over the centuries of Europe's rise via the plunder of three continents, including Muslim and other cultures and civilizations older, more advanced and wealthier than those of Europeans at that time. Patience!

By Asian Human Rights Commission
