CC News Letter 08 March - Google Admits Collaboration With Illegal US Drone Murder Program
Dear Friend,
"Don't Be Evil" is the founding principle of Google. Now they have become just the opposite of it and have become the long of American imperialism. A pure evil coporation.
We are approaching the end of our Axial Age. Planet earth is warning us that our survival is conditional; that like any other organism alienating itself from the earth’s Biosphere, if we continue doing so, we will be rejected. Can we prevent this? Yes, but only if we change the way we think. First we must fully accept a new reality: Planet and cosmos are one. We are not separate but are part of a rhythm that is in a sense “the mind” of that oneness. The purpose of our lives must be redefined in this context by way of accepting new forms of thought that are concurrent with the forces of this planet and its rhythmic cosmic oneness.
Anyone reading the scientific literature (or the progressive news outlets that truthfully report this literature) knows that homo sapiens sapiens is on the fast track to extinction, most likely some time between 2025 and 2040.
In spite of all these gloom and doom, there are some positive news too. In a paper released on March 2nd in the journal Scientific Reports, the scientists announced the discovery of a previously unknown “supercolony” of more than 1,500,000 Adélie Penguins in the Danger Islands, a chain of remote, rocky islands off of the Antarctic Peninsula’s northern tip.
Also more stories from around the world.

Google Admits Collaboration With Illegal US Drone Murder Program
by Andre Damon
In another milestone in the growing integration between the military-intelligence complex and Silicon Valley, Google’s parent company Alphabet has confirmed that it has provided software to identify targets used in the illegal US government drone murder program.Since initiating its drone assassination program in 2009, the United States claims to have killed close to 3,000 “combatants” in drone strikes. Internal military documents show that for every one person targeted by a drone strike, nine bystanders are killed, meaning that the true toll of the US military’s airborne terrorism campaign in Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq potentially rises to the tens of thousands.

Bullied Relations: Australia, East Timor And Natural Resources
by Dr Binoy Kampmark

In the scheme of things, Australia has deputised as regional bully for imperial powers since it became an outpost of the British empire. Neighbouring states have been ridiculed, mocked and derided as sub-human and incapable. The term “failed state” is still used in Canberra’s circles of presupposing power over desperate basket cases. Little wonder that China smells a wounded reputation. It is in that spirit that signing of an agreement between Australia and East Timor to demarcate maritime borders took place.
How Do I Hate Thee, AIPAC? Let Me Count The Ways
by Rima Najjar
Some people believe the words “Jewish state” should be put in quotes, not because Israel is not a Jewish state in character and practice, but because there is a minority of Jews worldwide who are anti-Zionist and do not wish the way they identify as Jews to be associated in any way with Israel’s brand of religious and political Zionism. That number, thankfully, is on the increase, especially among the younger generation of American Jews, according to polls.
Future Is The Son Of The Past, Dear Russia!
by Ashish Singh
Many Russians and foreigners think that Russia needs a strong leadership. However, it is not required for Russia as democracy and market reform are positively correlated. As per Anders, the disregard for democracy and repression of the press are(were) main challenges Russia faces today.
Women And Class Struggles – Time For Introspection
by Sheshu Babu
International women’s day is one of the many occasions to debate various pros and cons of present feminist movements and introspect their impact on empowerment and welfare. Their vital role in class struggles should also be taken into account in over all evaluation of their progress
Lenin, India’s Freedom Struggle And Hindutva Goons
by Shamsul Islam
We must know why a great liberator and unwavering supporter of India’s independence, Lenin is being targetted by the Hindutva goons. It is being done because Hindutva goons are genetically opposed to democratic-secular India which came into being after a long glorious anti-colonial freedom struggle.
Statue Vandalism: What Does It Mean?
by T Navin
The saffron forces find their foothold in North-eastern states in recent elections to Tripura, Nagaland and Meghalaya. This new found sense of power pushes them towards acts of vandalism of statues. It starts with Lenin in Tripura. This is later followed by Periyar Rama Swamy in Tamilnadu and Ambedkar in Uttar Pradesh.
Shiv Sena Minister Vies With Hema Malini To Blame The Poor For The City’s Problems
by Vidyadhar Date
The wonder is that Mr Raote has now chosen to blame the influx for the city’s road congestion and rail overcrowding and all sorts of transport problems. This is a classic case of victim blaming . It happens in the West too but it is more cruel in India where the poor are victims of the system on a very large scale.
