www.countercurrents.org/lewis230109.htm
A swelling global population, changing diets and mankind’s expanding “water footprint” could be bringing an end to the era of cheap water.

In WW2 Churchill deliberately starved 6-7 million Indians to death, continued to foster Muslim-Hindu antipathy that led to the horrors of Indian Partition and persuaded his War Cabinet on racist Partition of Palestine. Yet the holocaust-complicit Anglo media, academic and politician Establishment is still in denial

By Michael Parenti
www.countercurrents.org/parenti230109.htm
After the overthrow of communist governments in Eastern Europe, capitalism was paraded as the indomitable system that brings prosperity and democracy, the system that would prevail unto the end of history.

The president signed a draft executive order to close Guantanamo within a year, and to immediately halt any further trials of prisoners. The order reads in strict compliance with the Geneva Convention, and acknowledges all prisoners’ entitlement to rights under Habeas Corpus. I’m compelled to want to believe that it’s not just another mirage
