By Juan Santos
www.countercurrents.org/santos071207.htm
It is love that we, ourselves, will need, as the world we have been shunted into dies around us. What we will need is those who will love us enough to help us face death, the death of our ego-”lives” and the real death that will accompany economic collapse or ecological collapse, or both.It’s time to become the True Sister and the True Brother, those who know they are related, those who know they are connected, those who can remember how to love, those who the Hopi said might renew the Earth

Will the politicians stand as statesmen above political nitpicking, will they at last choose Michel Sulieman and will he able to produce a modicum of stability, and save the country from a slippery-slope of degeneration and keep the regional and international wolves at bay waiting for the kill, tough questions for Lebanon, tough question for politics

Put Option On America – Part 1
By Rand Clifford
www.countercurrents.org/clifford071207.htm
9-11 embedded American rule by fear. The great mass of American people are being cowed, controlled and ruined by a tiny minority of hyper-wealthy corporatists that, unless Americans brave their way from this blackout of truth, decency, empathy and courage, will take America the rest of the way down. Until the truth of 9-11 is widely revealed, and the perpetrators are brought to justice, playing CorpoGov’s rigged election games and believing CorpoMedia spews anything but propaganda and misdirection while omitting everything Americans need to know would seem to well fit most definitions of insanity

www.countercurrents.org/hensman071207.htm
The two biggest parties need to listen to the former service chiefs, and make a joint effort to end human rights violations and implement democratic political reforms that address the legitimate grievances of minorities. Once this is done, the LTTE leadership will lose its source of willing recruits, and the war can be ended. Unless Mahinda Rajapaksa follows their advice, he will face increasing popular anger and hatred as the war drags on, the death toll mounts, and living standards plummet

Tamils: Anti-Landmine Protestations
By Chandi Sinnathurai
www.countercurrents.org/sinnathurai071207.htm
The Western nations cannot ignore the ground reality. In fact, they ought to be disagreeable, in the most vehement manner, with the Sinhala state. When perched on a high moral ground, how on earth can the Western governments keep their voices muffled, when the Sri Lankan state engages in landmine warfare? This is unadulterated crime. State terror against its own citizens
