By Al Jazeera

http://www.countercurrents.org/aljazeera170211.htm

Security forces in Libya have killed scores of pro-democracy protesters in a crackdown on demonstrations against Muammar Gaddafi, the country's long time ruler. Human Rights Watch said on Saturday that 84 people had died over the past three days, and the latest reports indicate Libyan forces have killed at least 15 mourners at a funeral for protesters killed in the eastern city of Benghazi


Protesters Back In Bahrain Centre
By Al Jazeera

http://www.countercurrents.org/aljazeera190211A.htm

Thousands of protesters have reoccupied the Pearl roundabout in the capital, Manama, after troops and riot police retreated from the symbolic centre of their anti-government uprising


Protesters Keep Up Pressure At Wisconsin Capitol
By BBC

http://www.countercurrents.org/bbc190211.htm

Thousands of union members and supporters have amassed in Wisconsin for a fourth day to keep up the pressure on a Republican-backed bill that would curb union rights. Public sector workers and supporters crowded into the state capitol


Egypt's Spirit Lands In Wisconsin
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman190211A.htm

It landed, but it's too soon to know where it's going or how committed workers are to stay the course and spread it to other US states


Madison Protests May Spark A New Era Of
Protest Politics In USA
By Billy Wharton

http://www.countercurrents.org/wharton190211.htm

Let Madison be a sign – Americans are about to join the global wave of people power protests demanding democratic rights in the face of governments organized to protect the wealth of elites


Is This The Beginning Of The Second
American Revolution?
By Timothy V. Gatto

http://www.countercurrents.org/gatto190211.htm

What's happening in Wisconsin is only a prelude to what is eventually going to happen all over the country


US Workers: Resurgent Or
Waging A Rearguard Action?
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman190211B.htm

Building on Middle East and Wisconsin momentum, over 1,000 people rallied in Ohio's Columbus Statehouse on February 15, opposing Senate Bill 5 (SB5). Similar anti-worker schemes are proceeding in other states, including California, New York, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New Hampshire, Tennessee, and eventually perhaps most, if not all, unless sustained Wisconsin momentum intervenes everywhere


The Peak Oil Crisis: The 3rd Transition
By Tom Whipple

http://www.countercurrents.org/whipple190211.htm

The decline and eventual near cessation of fossil fuel production and that of many other minerals, disruption in global weather patterns, and the growing food and water scarcity will constitute the third great transition. Unlike the previous transitions in which life arguably got better for some, if not most, of the world's peoples, any upside to this transition seems to pale in the face of what is to come


With Oil And Food Costs Rising,
It Looks Like 2008 All Over Again
By Matthew Wild

http://www.countercurrents.org/wild190211.htm

History repeats itself: food riots are breaking out across the poorer nations, the Middle East is in turmoil and Brent crude has passed the $100 mark – 2011 is opening just like 2008 did


Don't Count On Natural Gas To Solve
US Energy Problems
By Gail Tverberg

http://www.countercurrents.org/tverberg190211.htm

While there is the possibility that shale gas will allow US natural gas supplies to increase for a few years (or even 10 or 15 years), natural gas is only about one-fourth of US fossil fuel use, so it would be very difficult to ramp it up enough to meet all of these needs

Doing The Right Thing
By Steve Salmony

http://www.countercurrents.org/slamony190211.htm

The hungry among us in the human community must, absolutely must be fed now here because we can do so and we are bound to care for them. But how do we begin to move toward the achievement of this goal?


What About The Women? – The Politicization Of
The Assault On Lara Logan
By Akanksha Mehta

http://www.countercurrents.org/mehta190211.htm

The burial of women in politicized and imperialist discourses built around their bodies and veils, sidelines what actually matters (and should matter) - the rights and agency of the women themselves


Vetoes, Leaders And Gaza
By Eileen Fleming

http://www.countercurrents.org/fleming190211.htm

As expected, the US has vetoed the Arab resolution at the UN Security Council that condemned the ILLEGAL Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territories citing them as obstacles to peace. All 14 other members of the Security Council backed the resolution, which had also been endorsed by the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO). It was also Obama's first veto!


Tawtin Or Return: Divergent Views From Lebanon,
But One Common Goal
By Franklin Lamb

http://www.countercurrents.org/lamb190211.htm

There exists in Lebanon near unanimity among the 18 sects and various Palestinian factions. Tawtin is not a desirable option. Only justice for Palestine, including the right of return as restated in the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative will resolve the dilemma of tawtin or return for Lebanon and her Palestinian refugees


'From The Gulf To The Ocean':
The Middle East Is Changing
By Ramzy Baroud

http://www.countercurrents.org/baroud190211.htm

The Egyptian revolution has finally restored the power back to the people, a collective experience that many of us will always remember, with pride, and some will always fear, for good reason


Rebranding Egypt's Revolution
By Mamoon Alabbasi

http://www.countercurrents.org/alabbasi190211.htm

Those who have failed to suppress the Egyptian revolution now seek to derail it or rebrand it to keep the status quo of division and mistrust among the people. But Egyptians of all walks of life need to remember their moments of unity in Tahrir Square and across Egypt: do they want this spirit to continue or will they let their ill-wishers divide (and rule) them once more


Arabs Are Back To History

If Bradley Manning turns out to be the hero he appears to be, he will not be the first "detained" at Quantico


Honourable High Court Decides
Criminal Appeal No. 20 & No. 54/2011
By Sadanand Patwardhan

http://www.countercurrents.org/patwardhan190211.htm

There are insurmountable hurdles to reasonably concur with the Honourable High Court's judgement in denying relief to Binayak Sen and Piyush Guha by granting bail during the pendency of main appeal against the conviction by competent trial court. Had the High Court granted relief to Sen, then it would have been left with no choice but to grant same relief to Guha. Because Binayak Sen was "prosecution's only link" between Narayan Sanyal and Piyush Guha


Problems In Trade Talks With EU
By Kavaljit Singh

http://www.countercurrents.org/ksingh190211.htm

Several countries are tightening existing investment rules or enacting new rules to protect "strategic sectors" from foreign investors. Therefore, it would unwise for New Delhi to accept such provisions that would legally bind it to serve the private interests of investors, while constricting the policy space to intervene in the public interest


Wake Up Singh: An Open Letter
To A Sleepy Statesman
By Farzana Versey

http://www.countercurrents.org/versey190211.htm

Dear Mr. Prime Minister: If you are not as big a culprit as you are made out to be, then would you enlighten us as to how small you are? What exactly was the reason that prompted you to meet with this huddled group of television channel editors to clear the air when some of the scams have to do with the media's tacit involvement?


PUDR Asks The Maoists To Release
The Two Hostages Taken By Them Unconditionally
By PUDR

http://www.countercurrents.org/pudr190211.htm

PUDR asks the Maoists to release the two hostages taken by them unconditionally and call upon the authorities to address the specific instances cited by the Maoists so that Adivasis suffering is mitigated and incidence of hostage taking becomes redundant


Is Egypt Revolution Parallel To Kashmir Protests?
By Fahad Shah

http://www.countercurrents.org/shah190211.htm

To draw parallels between the Egypt revolution and Kashmir freedom movement is inevitable but; is Valley ready for something alike. No doubt the last summer protests in Valley were wholly led by zealous pro-freedom public. Leaders from all groups were left aside; they just followed the public lines. The current situation of Valley so far seems to be peaceful but mere a small incident can spark off a yearlong unrest
