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

Chris Hedges - A Man Of Our Times

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.

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.

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.
