Army Urges Egyptians To End Strikes
By Al Jazeera

http://www.countercurrents.org/aljazeera140211.htm

Egypt's military council has renewed a call to workers to end a wave of strikes and play their role in reviving the economy after nearly three weeks of mass protests that led to the ousting of president Hosni Mubarak


Egypt's Revolution And Israel: "Bad For The Jews"
By Ilan Pappe

http://www.countercurrents.org/pappe140211.htm

The view from Israel is that if they indeed succeed, the Tunisian and Egyptian revolutions are bad, very bad. Educated Arabs -- not all of them dressed as "Islamists," quite a few of them speaking perfect English whose wish for democracy is articulated without resorting to "anti-Western" rhetoric -- are bad for Israel


Will Democracy In Egypt Benefit The Palestinians?
By Alan Hart

http://www.countercurrents.org/hart140211.htm

Best politics would be for the government of Egypt to frame the referendum question to give it the authority to say to Israel something like: "We wish to remain committed to our peace treaty with you, but we will be unable to do so without a commitment from you to end your occupation of all Arab land taken in 1967." Unless a majority of Israelis are beyond reason, that could be a game changer which would benefit the region and the whole world, not only the Palestinians


The Revolution Continues After Mubarak's Fall
By Ali Abunimah

http://www.countercurrents.org/abunimah140211.htm

In whatever form the revolution continues, the people are saying to their rulers: our countries, our futures, don't belong to you any more. They belong to us


Tourism Boycott For Egyptian Reforms
By Joel S. Hirschhorn

http://www.countercurrents.org/hirschhorn140211.htm

A global tourism boycott of Egypt is appropriate until it is absolutely clear that the revolution has actually and fully succeeded and economic reforms achieved. The enormous amounts of money stolen by Mubarak and others must be sought

Egypt At Dawn's Early Light
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman140211.htm

What's unfolding looks different than what protesters demand. World headlines partly reflect it, mostly outside America, especially on US television reporting an illusion of change, when, in fact, coup d'etat rule is in charge, headed by authoritarian generals used to giving, not taking orders


Will US, Zionist And Egyptian Neocons
Destroy Egyptian Revolution?
By Dr Gideon Polya

http://www.countercurrents.org/polya140211.htm

The US , Apartheid Israel , Egyptian torturer Omar Suleiman and the traitorous Egyptian Establishment may yet pervert the Egyptian Revolution and continue the Egyptian Holocaust that has passively killed 22 million Egyptians through imposed poverty since 1950


A Great Victory For The Egyptian People
By Mazdoor Ekta Lehar

http://www.countercurrents.org/mel140211.htm

The people of India have longstanding ties of friendship with the people of Egypt dating back thousands of years. We share the same hatred of colonialism and Anglo-American imperialism. We hail the victory of our brothers and sisters in Egypt and will always be with them in their struggle for democracy and the right to decide their own destiny


I Have Never Seen The Sun And I Never Will
By Mary Hamer, M.D.

http://www.countercurrents.org/hamer140211.htm

I am a Baby calf. I was born on an industrialized factory farm in August 2010. I have never seen the Sun. I have never heard the birds sing in the morning that greet the new day. I have never seen the wind blow. I want to be intimate with the Sun, the wind & the sky. But, I will never see this Sun that I so deeply yearn for


Paul Erhlich Interview- Humanity On A Tightrope
By Alex Smith

http://www.countercurrents.org/smith140211.htm

In this wide-ranging interview, after 40 books, thousands of scientific papers, and 40 years after "The Population Bomb" - Dr. Paul Ehrlich talks about our dependence of fossil fuels, climate change, toxic disruption, and food


Spreading The Wealth In A Post-Oil World
By Peter Goodchild

http://www.countercurrents.org/goodchild140211.htm

In a post oil world, even if arable farmland is evenly distributed, Peter Goodchild argues that there will not be enough food to feed the world


The Future Of Food (1 of 2)
By Andrew Curry

http://www.countercurrents.org/curry140211.htm

The recent UK Government Foresight report on the future of the global food and farming system can't be faulted for a lack of ambition. It takes on the whole of the global food system, and looks out to 2050. Much of what it says is valuable. But there are some telling gaps


How Expensive Is Food, Really?
By Sharon Astyk

http://www.countercurrents.org/astyk140211.htm

The price of food here is only a small part of the massive retrofitting of our economy required to pay the real price of our agriculture - and receive the real value


An Oil Shock In 2012?
By Steven R. Kopits

http://www.countercurrents.org/kopits140211.htm

By the middle of 2012, spare capacity could be as low as 1 million b/d, or even less, if the Saudis decide to limit production at 10 million b/d. When surplus capacity falls below one million b/d, an oil shock cannot be precluded. Thus, in the better case, the world is facing tight oil markets in 2012


Excessive Optimism Is Our Enemy,
With Coal-To-Liquids As A Case Study
By Fabius Maximus

http://www.countercurrents.org/maximus140211.htm

Confidence provides strengths for a society, but only when coupled with clear vision. Unfortunately modern America too-often too often sees the future only in terms of doomsters' pessimism and advocates' optimism. Here we have a case study of the latter


Fight For A World Without Coal
By Chris Hedges

http://www.countercurrents.org/hedges140211.htm

Coal, like oil and natural gas, is in an inexorable decline. There will be major shortages in as little as two decades. The continued extraction and burning of coal at these levels make any alternative energy policy, including carbon credits, a joke. We must begin to prepare for a world without coal. If we continue to wait passively we will be faced with a crisis that will make basic energy consumption unaffordable and create widespread human misery and suffering as increasing parts of the country and the globe become uninhabitable


The Week Of The Game Changer In Oil, Or Was It?
By Kurt Cobb

http://www.countercurrents.org/cobb140211.htm

This past week was supposedly the week of the game changer in the world of oil. Leaked U.S. diplomatic cables from Saudi Arabia called into question the ability of the globe's largest oil exporter to raise production to satisfy a world increasingly thirsty for petroleum. In the United States a technique called hydraulic fracturing--which has seemingly unlocked vast natural gas resources--will now be applied to oil trapped in shale deposits. Are these two developments really the so-called game changers they are claimed to be?

The Two Roads Out Of Recession
By Shamus Cooke

http://www.countercurrents.org/cooke140211.htm

The President's recent speech to the Chamber implied many dangers, which neither labor federation-- AFL-CIO and Change to Win -- bothered to point out. In fact, the AFL-CIO applauded sections of the speech, rather than condemning its sinister motives. If labor unions align themselves with the President's and the Chamber's pro-corporate path out of the recession, a workers' road to recovery will be bypassed


'Nandan Nilekani Is Subverting The Constitution'

Human rights activist Gopal Krishna who is in the forefront of thd opposition to UID. And he has solid reasons to oppose this numbering of people, which he says has a precedent in Nazi Germany and South Africa, which Mahatma Gandhi vehemently opposed. Here is a Rediff interview with Gopal Krishna


Cloning Cairo: A New Map For Kashmir?
By Farzana Versey

http://www.countercurrents.org/versey140211.htm

Kashmir does not need to be a Cairo and cannot be. From whom or what will its people get liberated when they are pulled in several directions by a hydra-headed monster called political opportunism?
