By Eleanor Hall

http://www.countercurrents.org/hall111210.htm

The United Nations representative for freedom of opinion and expression, Frank La Rue, says he is now working on a new report on free speech and the internet.

But he warns it would set a very bad example for free speech if it did take action against him

Espionage Act: How The Government Can
Engage In Serious Aggression Against
The People Of The United States
By Naomi Wolf

http://www.countercurrents.org/wolf111210A.htm

These two Senators, and the rest of the Congressional and White House leadership are manipulatively counting on Americans to have no knowledge or memory of the dark history of the Espionage Act -- a history that should alert us all at once to the fact that this Act has only ever been used -- was designed deliberately to be used -- specifically and viciously to silence people like you and me

WikiLeaks And Julian Assange
By Dr Gideon Polya

http://www.countercurrents.org/polya111210.htm

The US lackey Australian Government has reacted by threatening Assange with criminal proceedings, this in turn provoking widespread support for Julian Assange from both ordinary and eminent Australians


Stating The Obvious: WikiLeaks
Indicts And Vindicates U.S. Diplomats
By Ramzy Baroud

http://www.countercurrents.org/baroud111210.htm

The value of these finds – representing the largest leak in history – was unmatched. It effectively brought to an end the illusion that all was well in Mesopotamia. As with the Afghanistan documents, these files too constituted a narrative, albeit an extremely long and disturbing one. The fact that 15,000 Iraqi deaths are now officially included in the Iraqi death count is in itself a remarkable achievement

While GOP And Dems Do Not
By Sherwood Ross

http://www.countercurrents.org/ross111210.htm

The striking similarities of the two parties may be seen in the bipartisan attacks on Julian Assange, the Australian-born founder of WikiLeaks. By contrast, the emerging Green Party is unequivocal in its support for Assange

Out Of Failure, A Chance For Justice
By William A. Cook

http://www.countercurrents.org/cook111210.htm

Time and conditions change but humankind remains the same. Greed and power are the sinews that bind minds indifferent to the havoc they wreak on the helpless and the weak; it's time for the US to exit the broker's role and give the peace process to the United Nations so that justice can at last prevail

By Farzana Versey

http://www.countercurrents.org/versey111210.htm

It is only natural, then, that China tried to muscle its way in to prevent other nations from attending the ceremony to celebrate one who has maligned its reputation. Or so it would appear. China cannot deny Tiananmen. It cannot deny its role in Tibet. It cannot deny that under the garb of Communism it has prevented any other ideologies. The question is: Has China ever wanted to?


FBI Sting Entraps Another Victim
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman111210A.htm

Entrapped, Martinez now faces merciless prosecution, pitting him against the Justice Department's intent to convict so the Obama administration can claim another war on terror victory. Innocence or guilt doesn't matter, just the illusion that America is now safer


Corporate Media's Version Of Economic Justice
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman111210.htm

Besides misreporting on Obama capitulating to Republicans, major media op-eds and editorials expressed support for a deal only the devil and super-rich love
