Tamil Death Toll 'Is 1,400 A Week' At Manik Farm Camp In Sri Lanka
By Rhys Blakely

About 1,400 people are dying every week at the giant Manik Farm internment camp set up in Sri Lanka to detain Tamil refugees from the nation's bloody civil war

Colonizing Iraq: The Obama Doctrine?
By Michael Schwartz

http://www.countercurrents.org/schwartz100709.htm

After only five months in office, the Obama administration has already provided significant evidence that, like its predecessor, it remains committed to maintaining that "access to and flow of energy resources" in Iraq, even as it places its major military bet on winning the expanding war in Afghanistan and Pakistan. There can be no question that Washington is now engaged in an effort to significantly reduce its military footprint in Iraq, but without, if all goes well for Washington, reducing its influence

Ethnic Cleansing In Sheikh Jarrah:
The Case Of The Hannoun Family
By Michael Galvin

http://www.countercurrents.org/galvin100709.htm

This article was based on a 3 hour interview with Maher Hannoun, a Palestinian who will be evicted from his house on the 19th and is continuing the struggle to keep his family in their home for the last 37 years

Compromising Democracy In Honduras
By Shamus Cooke

http://www.countercurrents.org/cooke100709.htm

Can a solution to the crisis in Honduras — itself the result of a military coup — be "mediated," where on one side sit coup leaders and on the other a democratically elected but ousted President? Does any "middle ground" exist? Of course not. If President Zelaya unconditionally returns to finish his term in office, democracy will be restored; anything short of that will have democracy "compromised" into its opposite

HR 2749: A Stealth Agribusiness Empowering Act
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman100709.htm

The FDA notoriously serves the interests of industries it represents and betrays the public's well-being. Jeopardizing safer alternative sources to industrialized food is a frightening prospect to consider

Wanted: An American Hero
For An America Revolution
By Jonathan McCormack

http://www.countercurrents.org/mccormack100709.htm

Disillusioned by Obama and reformism, American's are ripe for revolution, if only someone would speak their language. We don't need a Chinese, Russian, or Cuban revolution – we need a brand new American one, forged with its own unique proud voice

Savarkar's Phoney Followers
By Subhash Gatade

http://www.countercurrents.org/gatade100709.htm

Politics is a game of the impossible. The Sangh Parivar, which never enjoyed a smooth relationship with Vinayak Damodar Savarkar when alive, now wants us to believe that it is the true and the only heir to his legacy. It is a different matter that even Savarkar's diehard followers do not seem amused with all their ropetricks. The manner in which RSS-BJP handled the issue of memorial for Savarkar in faraway France indicates once again the floundering of their strategy

The Lock Step Conformity Of America
By Mustafa Khan

http://www.countercurrents.org/khan100709.htm

It is pitiful to note that the United States mocks its own Yankee pragmatism when it comes to the Palestinians and women. This is even more pronounced in the days of the administration of President Barack Obama

So, Who Needs Corporations, Anyhow?
By Case Wagenvoord

http://www.countercurrents.org/wagenvoord100709.htm

Meanwhile, the Left loudly proclaims that, "Something must be done! Systemic change is needed; reform is called for!" And, there it ends as the Left fragments into a spray of mini issues--gay rights, women's rights, peace, the environment, animal liberation, universal health care—each droplet suspended in space independent of the others. Each of these issues is important, but each is made all the more difficult because we are confronting a system that is decayed and corrupt, and until this tottering superstructure is addressed, the above issues will simply limp along without any satisfactory resolutions
