The national Occupy movement, with a concentrated expression at Occupy Wall Street in NYC, is at a crossroads that will require determination and creative strategies to build on and broaden while deepening the movement's stand against the whole way that capitalism is destroying people and the planet


Bringing It Down To Earth
 By John Michael Greer

http://www.countercurrents.org/greer241111.htm

No amount of protesting is going to refill the once vast and now mostly depleted reserves of cheap oil and other resources that gave America its age of extravagance, nor is protest going to do anything to stop the decline of America as a world power or the rise of competing powers

Yields on government debt in Europe soared Wednesday after a failed auction of German bonds.

 By Kourosh Ziabari

http://www.countercurrents.org/ziabari241111.htm

All that can be said is that the performance of the Arab League in neglecting the situation in Yemen and Bahrain and exaggerating the unrest in Syria which is mainly caused by the foreign intervention and the West's indifference toward the plight of the suppressed nations in Yemen and Bahrain is an all-out hypocrisy and a clear, undeniable exercise of double standards. Who can really devise a clear-cut solution for this unsolvable dilemma?
