Our Drinkable Water Supply
Is Vanishing

Thanks to global warming, pollution, population growth, and privatization, we are teetering on the edge of a global crisis

Mud, Fog, And Blackwater
By Rand Clifford
www.countercurrents.org/clifford111007.htm
CorpoMedia is simply the propaganda arm of CorpoGov, who won’t stop until the realization of CorpoWorld. A privatized world where the essentials of life will be available only to those who can afford them, and the idea of commonwealth is safe, deep in some landfill patrolled by Blackwater. A two-class world where the elite own virtually everything, live in self-contained fortresses patrolled by Blackwater, and travel only with Blackwater escorts. What’s to stop them now, other than Mother Nature? For a sneak preview of sorts, research what has really happened in New Orleans

Pakistan In Peril
By K. Hussan Zia
www.countercurrents.org/zia111007.htm
Pakistan has very little water storage capacity. The United States and Australia have over 5,000 cubic metres of storage capacity per inhabitant and China has 2,200 cubic metres, while Pakistan has only 150 cubic metres of storage capacity per capita.Pakistan can barely store 30 days of water in the Indus basin. If something wrong happens with the Indus basin, Pakistan has no alternative to feed its agriculture. There is no latitude for error

The Hydra
By Soraya Sepahpour-Ulrich
www.countercurrents.org/ulrich111007.htm
The reality we live in is that a far worse creature than the legendry hydra is terrorizing the global village. As one head is de-commissioned, another replaces it; Rumsfeld with Gates, Casey with Petraeus, and so on. Its contemptuous greed unfulfilled, the Iraqi devastation only vetted the appetite of the ungodly creature; and so venomous lies spew out in preparation for an attack on the next country – Iran, with 72 innocent lives waiting to be annihilated

Seymour Hersh On Bush’s Plan For Iran
By Thomas Riggins
www.countercurrents.org/riggins111007.htm
Everyone should try to get a copy of Hersh’s article to read. I have only presented a few of its high lights. The article itself gives ample evidence that the case against Iran is very weak and mostly contrived. Pressure has to be increased on the Congress to try and rein Bush and his generals in before they can create an even bigger catastrophe in the Middle East

How The Military Can Stop An Iran Attack
By Jeremy Brecher & Brendan Smith
www.countercurrents.org/smith111007.htm
Is there a basis for cooperation between the military brass and citizens who believe an attack on Iran would be criminal and/or suicidal? Perhaps. The brass can go public with the truth and ask Congress to provide a platform for explaining the real consequences of an attack on Iran. They can call for a national debate that is not manipulated by the White House

Only One Congress Member Gets It
By David Swanson
www.countercurrents.org/swanson111007.htm
For almost a year Congressman Dennis Kucinich has been saying that the Democratic leadership in Congress should end the occupation of Iraq by not bringing up for a vote any more bills to fund it. For all these months, he has been the only member of Congress willing to say this

Open Letter To Bolivian President Evo Morales Ayma
By David Truskoff
www.countercurrents.org/truskoff111007.htm
My question is what are you doing in terms of education for the young in Bolivia to prevent the same cycle that realist my age have seen happen again and again. The fuel of Capitalism is greed. Greed can only be controlled with early education. The west waits for Castro to die hoping that will end the growth of socialism in your part of the world? Right wing Cubans in America are preparing for that day. Are you?

Mush Was Right. But Who Can Trust Him Anymore?
By Abid Ullah Jan
www.countercurrents.org/jan111007.htm
Musharraf was right in his analysis, statements and promises. However, his deeds proves him to be part of the same corrupt league. The story in today’s newspapers about Musharraf being one of the 499 owners whose farmhouse spread over 2500 acres of land worth Rs 75 billion in the suburbs of Islamabad simply confirms this conclusion. Other than those who have some personal or global totalitarian axe to grind, with this proven track record of glaring contradictions and brazen lies no one can trust General Musharraf anymore
