Endless growth: a telltale sign of madness
Steven Earl Salmony
If scientists will choose to speak truth to the powerful, perhaps they will encourage other stonewalling leaders to do the right thing. At the moment many too many elders are remaining electively mute and appear unwilling to confront ‘the powers that be’ with the best science available regarding either the ‘placement’ of the human species within the order of living things on Earth or the most adequate understandings of the way the world we inhabit actually works. Such willful refusals by so many knowledgeable elders to assume their individual responsiblities to science and fulfill their well-established, collective duties to humanity are indefensible.

STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF LEAH BOLGER
SUBMITTED BY KEVIN ZEESE
Leah Bolger
On April 12th, Leah Bolger, the president of Veterans for Peace and an occupier at Freedom Plaza, will appear in DC Superior Court to face charges stemming from her interruption of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, also known as the Super Committee.

This statement is submitted in support of Leah Bolger for her action to stop the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, also known as the “super committee,” from reducing government deficit spending by cutting desperately needed social programs primarily for senior citizens and the disabled, rather than taxing the wealthiest 1% of Americans and reducing military spending.
The Importance of Proper Nutrition in Disease Prevention and Treatment
By Gary G. Kohls, MD
For the last decade of my professional life, I practiced what was best termed holistic mental health care, utilizing non-drug, nutritional approaches in aiding the recovery of patients who had various mental illness labels. Having had a number of successes early on in helping patients cut down or even get off certain drugs, my practice attracted, by word of mouth, many other patients who were also wanting to get off their psych drugs, medications that they had recognized as causing a large variety of serious adverse effects - or were addictive (ie caused withdrawal symptoms when they stopped taking the drugs or cut the dosage down). The observations that I made during that decade were many, but one of the most impressive ones was the effect of malnutrition on brain and mental health.
Media Scoundrels Promote War
by Stephen Lendman
Syria is target one, then Iran. The road to Tehran runs through Damascus. Western-backed insurgents can't match Assad's security forces.
In 2011, Libyan killer gangs had air force support. Without NATO, they'd have been routed.
Expect stepped up intervention in Syria. All signs suggest it. The April 10 deadline came and went. Assad began pulling back. Insurgent violence continues. He's obligated to confront it. Responsible leaders can do no less. Their people depend on it. If governments won't protect them, who will?
Israel Declares War on Gunter Grass
by Stephen Lendman
Grass touched the right nerves. He deserves praise, not condemnation. Nonetheless, he's vilified for discussing Israel's open secret. It's nuclear armed and dangerous.
Iran's also threatened. Millions of lives are at risk. Grass explained. Denunciation followed.
In America and Israel, whistleblowers are criminalized. Moreover, distinguished figures like Grass are maligned and declared persona non grata.
On April 8, Haaretz headlined, "Interior Minister declares Gunter Grass persona non grata in Israel," saying:
