US, UK And Anglosphere Human Rights Abuses
And War Crimes Trash Magna Carta 800th Anniversary
By Dr Gideon Polya
http://www.countercurrents.org/polya150615.htm
15 June 2015 marks the 800th anniversary of the signing of Magna Carta by King John at Runnymede. Magna Carta notably gave English "free men" freedom from arbitrary, non-judicial imprisonment, dispossession, outlawing, banishment or destruction by the ruler, a freedom that was variously progressively extended to all citizens and subjects in the Anglosphere over the next 8 centuries. However the US, UK, Apartheid Israel, and Australia have continued to grossly violate this freedom in the 21st century
Ignoring Reality, Subverting Morality: GMOs And The Neoliberal Apologists
By Colin Todhunter
http://www.countercurrents.org/todhunter150615.htm
Because any type of critical analysis that links the GMO issue with the system these neoliberal mouthpieces defend and which touches on the concerns outlined in this article is met with mockery and name calling from them - it's all 'anti-capitalist' twaddle or conspiracy theory mouthed by a bunch of 'green blob', immoral, self-serving hippies, so they say. They seem to think projection passes for debate. It doesn't

Here's why we all should support him and demand his immediate release

Where Do Ram And Allah Live?
By Ram Puniyani
http://www.countercurrents.org/puniyani150615.htm
Lord Ram and Allah are almighty and the mortals like us, including the breast beaters from communal formations, should prefer to see that the housing is provided to all the mortals, ordinary people so that they don't have to live on the pavements-slums and suffer the ignominy. Can one hope that rather than presenting the past in a one sided; divisive manner we look at the story from all the angles, and put forth the rational one. We need to cultivate our faith for well being of all our society as a whole on the lines of Vasudhaiva Kutumbkam

Exponential Growth
By John Scales Avery
http://www.countercurrents.org/avery130615.htm
Exponential growth of any quantity with time has some remarkable characteristics, which we ought to try to understand better, since this understanding will help us to predict the future. The knowledge will also show us the tasks which history has given to our generation. We must perform them with urgency in order to create a future in which our descendants will be able to survive
Stopping Obama's "Legacy" 'Trade'-Deals: Did Reid Finally Do It?
By Eric Zuesse
http://www.countercurrents.org/zuesse130615.htm
President Obama has many times made clear to congressional Democrats that the most important thing in the "legacy" that he hopes to leave behind from his Presidency is his big-three 'trade' deals: TPP with Asia, TTIP with Europe, and TISA for international services including banking and insurance
Rising Corporate Military Complex In India: A Critical Appraisal
By Rahul Varman
http://www.countercurrents.org/varman130615.htm
The enormous expenditure in the name of nation's security has remained opaque and mostly outside public scrutiny. Most of the data and information employed here are drawn from the print and web media, Government documents available in the public domain, and reports by consulting firms and policy institutions. One could find almost no research studies based on primary data – pointing to the abysmal failure of research institutions to study such a vital aspect of the Indian economy and polity
