About: Have you ever marveled at the apparent ease with which a world-class musician, dancer, or athlete performs at a level beyond what most of us can attain? The things they do can seem almost magical.

Of course, we know that what looks so easy is a result of a deep commitment to excellence, demonstrated through in-depth study of their craft, in self-awareness and self-discipline, and in skills well honed by practice.

CounterPunch is the bi-weekly muckraking newsletter edited by Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair. Twice a month we bring our readers the stories that the corporate press never prints. We aren’t side-line journalists here at CounterPunch. Ours is muckraking with a radical attitude and nothing makes us happier than when CounterPunch readers write in to say how useful they’ve found our newsletter in their battles against the war machine, big business and the rapers of nature … (about 1/2).

About 2/2: … We’re in our sixth year now and have exceptionally loyal readers, who have delighted in our irreverent and biting approach. Time and again they tell us they’re sick of dull, predictable writing. They want fresh facts, a newsletter that they can enjoy rather than just endure–and we give it to them. Barbara Ehrenreich says, « CounterPunch makes me think. It makes me laugh. Above all it tells me things I didn’t know. »

Here at CounterPunch we have many friends and all the right enemies. And, guaranteed, you’ll never see any of us on the pundit line up at MSNBC. We try to stay beyond the pale. (Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair, Editors).

What is a Grey Nun: Our overriding concern is that the Gospel be proclaimed to all we serve, especially the poor and needy of our world. We have a preferential love for the materially poor and demonstrate it in our lives and works by living more simply. . . working with the poor, sharing our love and abilities, and being enriched by their gifts. . . educating ourselves and others to the responsibility in justice to satisfy the needs of the poor…and acting upon unjust societal conditions.

Linked with Andrea Smith – USA, with American Indian Boarding School Experiences: Recent Studies from Native Perspectives, and with INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND BOARDING SCHOOLS.

During the 19th and 20th centuries, American Indian and Alaska Native children were forcibly abducted from their homes to attend Christian boarding schools as a matter of government policy. Sexual, physical, and emotional violence was rampant in many of these schools. As a result of boarding school policies, there is now an epidemic of child sexual abuse in many Native communities. However, because of the shame attached to the abuse, there has been no forum to adequately address this problem. Consequently, child abuse passes from one generation to the next. This project is a starting point to address child sexual abuse. By framing abuse as the continuing effects of human rights abuses perpetrated by government policy, we hope to take the shame away from talking about the abuse and provide space for communities to address the problem and heal … (Homepage 1/2).

Du latin NATURA et du grec PATHOS, Naturopathie veut dire « le mal étudié en fonction de la nature », laquelle fait ou défait la santé. La nature est, ici, l’association entre l’organisme vivant (milieu interne) et l’environnement naturel (milieu externe) dans lequel l’organisme se trouve. Le mal, dans ce contexte, prend tous les aspects de la misère physiologique (maladie, laideur et folie). Organes, formes et mental évoluent parallèlement. Il suffit de faire varier le milieu externe dans ses éléments, en bien ou en mal, pour entraîner automatiquement perfection ou désordre dans le milieu organique interne. La santé résulte donc, non d’une médication locale et superficielle, si brillante soit-elle, mais d’une réforme de vie, profonde et générale … (Qu’est-ce que c’est? 1/2).

I AM WOMAN – EDUCATE ME
I am the woman from a village in Pakistan
Where they threw acid in my face because their honour was at stake
Battered, bullied and bruised – I suffered great pain
But the damage they have done has only fired my resolve
To never let them make MY honour, THEIR gain
I forced the courts to hear my case and took others like me
Caught in the vicious circle of male violence and frenzy
in trying to dehumanize us
My disfigured face has empowered me; the cries of my sisters
have given me strength in my own strength
I won’t be cowed down by cowardly acts
I have found my path and will never return to the fetters of slavery
I ask for no accolades for my bravery
