By Rohini Hensman

It is easy to understand why the current US administration is so desperate to seal a strategic alliance with India, at a time when Pakistan, its traditional ally in South Asia, appears to be faltering. For India, however, the deal would be a disaster. Backing out of it under pressure from public opinion may be embarrassing, but not shameful; on the contrary, it is the only democratic option

Electoral boycotts are one of many tools available to us as we plant the seeds of revolution and create the atmosphere for a major paradigm shift sometime in the future. Boycotts are a peaceful way of hastening the change that will eventually make a more just society possible; a world in which just people, not wealth and privilege, decides the future

Super-Patriotism’s Intercourse With The Secret Sect Of Power
By Gaither Stewart

www.countercurrents.org/stewart191107.htm

The Patriot Act threatens freedoms, at home and abroad. It gives the US President the power to access your private life, to secretly search your home and make arbitrary arrests. Abroad, it conducts criminal activities, the black night flights of CIA aircraft in the kidnapping, secret jailing in foreign lands and torturing of suspected “terrorists.” Such powers are the essence of Fascism

Nandigram: The Poor Killing The Poor On Neo-Liberal Bidding
By Debarshi Das

www.countercurrents.org/das191107.htm

It all started on a clear neo-liberal stirring. The 25,000 acres that the government was desperate to acquire was not to build a new party office, not even to distribute largesse to the party sycophants. It was to act as an over-enthusiastic, real estate agent of a multinational company with an anti-people track record. It’s not surprising that the corporate media is working overtime to obfuscate the underlying neo-liberal insinuations on which the poor are butchering the poor

Prior to the ongoing conflict in the state, we had only one orphanage run by an NGO and only two homes run by the social welfare department.
