#OWS: Arrests Continue In Major Cities
By Andre Damon
http://www.countercurrents.org/damon171111.htm
As cities throughout the United States step up the police crackdown on the Occupy Wall Street movement, evidence has emerged of a conspiracy between city officials—possibly coordinated with federal intelligence agencies—to shut down the occupy encampments on the basis trumped-up charges of sanitation and public safety
This Is What Revolution Looks Like
By Chris Hedges
http://www.countercurrents.org/hedges171111.htm
The resignations of Oakland Mayor Jean Quan's deputy, Sharon Cornu, and the mayor's legal adviser and longtime friend, Dan Siegel, in protest over the clearing of the Oakland encampment are some of the first cracks in the edifice. "Support Occupy Oakland, not the 1% and its government facilitators," Siegel tweeted after his resignation

Desktop "Militants" And Public Intellectuals
By James Petras
http://www.countercurrents.org/petras171111.htm
To address an active assembled public meeting, to formulate ideas, programs and propose programs and strategies through political action defines the role of the public intellectual. To sit at a desk in an office, in splendid isolation, sending out five manifestos per minute defines a "desktop militant". It is a form pseudo-militancy that isolates the word from the deed. Desktop "militancy" is an act of verbal inaction, of inconsequential "activism", a make-believe revolution of the mind
Syria On The Brink: Uprising Victim

By Ramzy Baroud
http://www.countercurrents.org/baroud171111.htm
If Syria doesn't wrestle its fate from the hands of these self-serving forces, the Syrian uprising and Syria as a whole will continue to be marred by uncertainties and foreboding possibilities
Mic Tells Tale Of Growing US-Israel Gap
By Kourosh Ziabari
http://www.countercurrents.org/ziabari171111.htm
Despite pretentiously showing gestures of friendship and cordiality, the ideological gap between the U.S. President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is getting wider increasingly
Kargil: An Enduring Conflict
By Javed Naqi
http://www.countercurrents.org/naqi171111.htm
It is hoped the work on Zojila tunnel is taken up very seriously so that the people of Kargil no longer continue to be a second citizen of the globalized world
