WikiLeaks' Funding Blocked
By David Leigh & Rob Evans

http://www.countercurrents.org/evans151010.htm

The whistleblowing group WikiLeaks claims that it has had its funding blocked and that it is the victim of financial warfare by the US government. Moneybookers, a British-registered internet payment company that collects WikiLeaks donations, emailed the organisation to say it had closed down its account because it had been put on an official US watchlist and on an Australian government blacklist

My Oath To Israel's "Jewish Democracy"
By Jonathan Cook

http://www.countercurrents.org/cook151010.htm

Next in Lieberman's sights, of course, are all of Israel's 1.3 million Palestinians, who will be expected to become Zionists or face a loss of citizenship and possibly expulsion. I may be one of the first non-Jews to make this pledge, but many are sure to be forced to follow me


Loyalty Oath Initiators Sending Clear Message
To Arab Israelis
By Ahmad Tibi

http://www.countercurrents.org/tibi151010.htm

Until Israel starts to treat the Palestinians, whoever they are, as equals, including the ones living within it as citizens, and until it recognizes their rights for this land, we shall all continue to be stuck in place and say with great degree of accuracy that Israel is indeed Jewish and democratic – democratic to the Jews, and Jewish to the Arabs


The Biggest Climate Conference
You've Never Heard Of
By Anirvan Chatterjee

http://www.countercurrents.org/chatterjee151010.htm

The world watched last year's climate talks in Copenhagen with hope and trepidation. We spent the past two weeks following the ICAO Assembly, the aviation sector's climate talks in Montreal with equal anticipation. Unlike Copenhagen, there was little coverage, and very limited civil society participation. And now that it's over, despite most parties calling it a success, we have to conclude that it's bad news


Future Chaos: There Is No "Plan B"
By Chris Martenson

http://www.countercurrents.org/martenson151010.htm

The hard news is that there is no "Plan B." The future is likely to be more chaotic than you probably think. This was the primary conclusion that I came to after attending the most recent Association for the Study of Peak Oil & Gas (ASPO) in Washington, DC in October, 2010


'Know-How', 'Know-What' And The Politics Of
Knowledge For Social Change
By Michael Edwards

http://www.countercurrents.org/edwards151010.htm

In an age when wealth and power present a more diffuse and benign face to the world, the soft authority of knowledge is ever more important as a force for social change. The politics of knowledge – how ideas are created, used and disseminated – represents a key issue for the social change community


The Tide Has Changed: A Musical Essay
And A Lesson In Humanity
By Ramzy Baroud

http://www.countercurrents.org/baroud151010.htm

If one tried to fit music compositions into an equivalent literary style, Gilad Atzmon & The Orient House Ensemble's latest release would come across as a most engaging political essay: persuasive, argumentative, rational, original, imaginative and always unfailingly accessible


The Case Against Fluoride: Toxifying The Tap
By Rady Ananda

http://www.countercurrents.org/ananda151010.htm

Both the book, The Case Against Fluoride , and the film, Professional Perspectives on Water Fluoridation , provide citizens with sound science to use when demanding that city officials end this "unethical, unnecessary, ineffective and dangerous" practice. Meanwhile, fluoride filtration systems can be purchased for home installation, ranging from around $50 a year to several hundred dollars


The Cuban 5: Victims Of US State Terrorism
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman151010.htm

The Five and many hundreds of other US political prisoners bear testimony to America's judicial unfairness, imprisoning innocent men and women for political advantage in violation of constitutional and fundamental international human rights laws, ones US authorities repeatedly flout with impunity

By Kourosh Ziabari

http://www.countercurrents.org/ziabari151010.htm

An interview with Philip Giraldi a former counter-terrorism specialist and military intelligence officer of the United States Central Intelligence Agency. Now, he chairs the Council for the National Interest as the Executive Director


Letting The Crooks Off The Hook:
How The AP Debt-Swap Model Bails Out MFIs
By Devinder Sharma

http://www.countercurrents.org/dsharma151010.htm

The proposed ordinance looks to be an outcome of concern. As the Indian Express (Oct 14, 2010) states: 'A special ordinance approved today by the Andhra Pradesh Cabinet to regulate micro-finance institutions (MFIs) is likely to provide for a debt-swapping arrangement wherein high cost debt of MFI customers could be swapped with low interest bearing loans by banks.'
