Ahead of May 15 Nakba commemorations, massive crowds assembled in Cairo's Tahrir (Liberation) Square in solidarity. They displayed banners, proclaiming, "The People want the Rafah Crossing opened," and "Palestine is a Arab state." They also waved Palestinian flags, chanting "Solidarity with the Palestinian Intifada" and "National Unity" ahead of a planned weekend march to Gaza
Humanity Hitting The Resource Ceiling
By Stephen Leahy
http://www.countercurrents.org/leahy150511.htm
Higher resource consumption levels will be prohibitively costly or simply impossible, warns the report by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). "Global resource consumption is exploding. It's not a trend that is in any way sustainable," said Ernst von Weizsäcker, co-chair of UNEP's International Resource Panel
Australia's Carbon Tax And Coal To Gas
Transition Will Double Power Generation Greenhouse Gas Pollution
By Dr Gideon Polya
http://www.countercurrents.org/polya150511.htm
The Australian Government says that a major consequence will be a coal to gas transition for fossil fuel burning for electric power. However a coal to gas transition will in actuality double the GHG pollution from electricity generation because methane (CH4, a major constituent of natural gas) leaks and is 105 times worse than carbon dioxide (CO2) as a GHG on a 20 year time scale
Of Humans And Rights
By David Swanson

In our current wars, well over 95% of the dead, even in the short-term, are from the countries where the wars are fought. Some get labeled combatants and some civilians, but they're all left out of most body counts, and when they are counted they are counted low. Our government pretends not to count them at all, and only thanks to Wikileaks do we know otherwise, that the military has counted some of them
So Many Things To See, So Many People To Meet…
By Stay Human Convoy

In the Gaza Strip, even the sea has been turned into an unbreachable frontier, a constant reminder that these waters, whether calm or angered, hold an ever-present menace that has nothing to do with the forces of nature, and everything to do with oppression. Gaza's coastal waters are totally under Israeli military control

Our boat – the American boat – is "The Audacity of Hope." It will be carrying approximately 60 students, nurses, artists, journalists and film-makers, lawyers, academics, and ordinary civilians of many beliefs from around the country to Gaza. Many of us are Jewish
Stale Bread, Brutal Circus
By Frank Scott
http://www.countercurrents.org/scott150511.htm
With the western imperial system in grave condition its population needs constant mind game manipulation to help ruling minorities maintain control. Recent Bread and Circus spectacles have featured a marriage of royal entities from an alleged democratic nation, and a hit squad performing a mafia job and depicted as heroic for their work
May 12th Protesters Identify A Stumpf Problem
By Billy Wharton
http://www.countercurrents.org/wharton150511.htm
As thousands of protesters marched through Downtown Manhattan yesterday, I had a difficult task – explain why Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf was such a threat to GED students in New York City. The connection was not so straightforward, but May 12th was a day in which the parts of the City that normally operate in isolation were brought into comparison and conflict with each other
