 Police Evict Occupy Oakland Demonstrators
 By Jack Hood

http://www.countercurrents.org/hood151111.htm

Hundreds of armed police officers in riot gear descended on Oscar Grant Plaza in Oakland, California at approximately 5:00 am Monday morning to evict dozens of peaceful protesters. The show of force was consistent with similar crackdowns on Occupy Wall Street encampments nationwide, including last week in nearby Berkeley


The Police State Makes Its Move: Retaining
 One's Humanity In The Face Of Tyranny
 By Phil Rockstroh

http://www.countercurrents.org/rockstroh151111.htm

A heavy police presence has ringed Zuccotti Park from the get-go, and whose ranks have now staged a military style raid upon it, a defacto search and destroy mission--because the ruling elite want to suppress the very impulse of freedom


Occupy Your Life
 By Joanne Poyourow

http://www.countercurrents.org/poyourow151111.htm

It's time to figuratively "sew seeds into the hems of our dresses." Time to gather up the attributes of what is precious about life, to capture that vast diversity, and carry it with you as we journey to new frontiers -- as our society moves into a new era


Mic Check: Now We Are The People!
 By Gari Corseri

http://www.countercurrents.org/corseri151111.htm

"Mic Check" is one of the many wholesome developments of the Occupy Movement. A single speaker's words are echoed by a spontaneous "chorus" of listeners. The benefits are twofold: the original words are repeated, magnified and enhanced by the additional listeners-speakers; and the words are imprinted on the minds and hearts of those who speak and hear


Wealth, Illth, And Net Welfare
 By Herman Daly

http://www.countercurrents.org/daly151111.htm

Wellbeing should be counted in net terms — that is to say we should consider not only the accumulated stock of wealth but also that of "illth;" and not only the annual flow of goods but also that of "bads."


Puncturing The Pipeline
 By Bill McKibben

http://www.countercurrents.org/mckibben151111.htm

Conventional wisdom has it that the next election will be fought exclusively on the topic of jobs. But President Obama's announcement last week that he would postpone a decision on the Keystone XL pipeline until after the 2012 election, which may effectively kill the project, makes it clear that other issues will weigh in -- and that, oddly enough, one of them might even be climate change

Dr. Do Little: Rahul Gandhi As Placebo

"How long will you beg in Maharashtra (for work)? How long will you work as a labourer in Punjab? It will take only five years and the change will come."- Rahul Gandhi


Sri Lankan Yellow Journalism And Its Slander Of
 Tamil Women
 By Janani Paramsothy

http://www.countercurrents.org/paramsothy151111.htm

This attempt to shout down Tamil women by attacking their sexuality first and foremost, needs to be thwarted. There were many instances of this during the global protests against Sri Lanka in 2009, especially over the internet. Women with a higher public profile face even more brutal attacks
