US Hawks Behind Iraq War Rally For Strikes Against Iran
 By Jim Lobe

http://www.countercurrents.org/lobe181011.htm

Key neo-conservatives and other right-wing hawks who championed the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq are calling for military strikes against Iran in retaliation for its purported murder-for-hire plot against the Saudi ambassador here


Sirte Destroyed By NTC-NATO Offensive In Libya
 By Chris Marsden

http://www.countercurrents.org/marsden181011.htm

The Libyan town of Sirte has been all but destroyed and its inhabitants turned into homeless refugees. This situation has gone largely unreported, but those press reports that have emerged paint a picture of a city being reduced to ruins by attacks of the National Transitional Council (NTC) "rebels" and NATO bombing raids against which it has no defense


I Was One Day Old When My Father Was Jailed
 By Shahd Abusalama

http://www.countercurrents.org/abusalama181011.htm

A very confusing feeling passes through me after hearing about the exchange of 1,027 Palestinian detainees for the only Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit, who was held captive by the Palestinian resistance fighters. I don't know whether to feel happy or sad


 Letter To A Dead Man About  The Occupation Of Hope
 By Rebecca Solnit

http://www.countercurrents.org/solnit181011.htm

Dear young man who died on the fourth day of this turbulent 2011, dear Mohammed Bouazizi, I want to write you about an astonishing year -- with three months yet to run. I want to tell you about the power of despair and the margins of hope and the bonds of civil society


The Rome March Of Indignant Youth,
 Exasperated And Furious: Two Anomalies
 By Gaither Stewart

http://www.countercurrents.org/stewart181011.htm

The "Black Blocs" represent a challenge to the system and the larger Occupy movement itself. And although the corporate media are already painting the violence as "reprehensible" and "unacceptable", and many Occupy groups committed to nonviolent protest seek to distance themselves from those who choose to express their pent-up rage in more aggressive ways, "the hooded unknowns" clad in black may be simply ahead of their time


We Are 99%. We Need To Free Our Countries
 FromThe Occupation Of 1%, It's Time
 To Change The Direction
 By Anu Muhammad

http://www.countercurrents.org/anu181011.htm

It is for Bangladesh , it is for the world. We are 99%, this World is for us, we cannot let it remain occupied by thieves, thugs and killers. To come out from destruction, war, plunder, cruelty and inhuman occupation we need to reclaim and occupy our world very fast


Chris Hedges - A Man Of Our Times
 By Jim Miles

http://www.countercurrents.org/miles181011.htm

Chris Hedge's work is now in my pantheon of knowledgeable powerful voices who speak truth to power - Noam Chomsky, John Pilger, and Robert Fisk among the best known. I would urge all readers to pick up one of his books, ("The World As It Is" is most appropriate for the OWS movement) and search him out on Youtube. A brilliant down to earth writer and humanist


Victimized A Second Time: State-Sanctioned Forced Evictions Of Haiti's Displaced
 Earthquake Survivors
 By Bill Quigley & Lauren Carasik

http://www.countercurrents.org/quigley181011.htm

How did the survivors of Haiti's earthquake go from being the focus of an historic outpouring of solidarity and support in the days and weeks after the earthquake, to being victimized again – this time by human actions?


An Open Appeal To The Chief Minister Of
 West Bengal
 By Concerned Citizens

http://www.countercurrents.org/cc181011.htm

In the election campaigns made by you and your party, promises were made of the withdrawal of joint forces from the Jungle Mahal region, and you made the pledge to release all political prisoners unconditionally. To our dismay, we see that under your government also, state terror has been let loose on the people, people are being detained illegally, tortured, women have been humiliated and a large number of the sons of the soil have been incarcerated


Telangana: A struggle or A Movement?
 By Prakash Kona

http://www.countercurrents.org/kona181011.htm

In its quest for identity, the Telangana struggle continues to be a struggle refusing to become a movement that could attract wider sections of people rather than disenchanted groups such as students and government employees


The Yatra No One Talked About
 By Syed Ali Mujtaba

http://www.countercurrents.org/mujtaba181011.htm

Much hullabaloo was made of Anna Hazare's fast against anti corruption, so was about Narender Modi's fast for communal harmony. LK Advani yatra too has attracted a great deal of attention, has anyone heard about the communal harmony Yatra (travel) that concluded in New Delhi on October 16, 2011. I guess very few
