Arab League Suspends Syria: What’s Next?
RT
November 14, 2011
The U.S. and its allies are more interested in regime change in Syria than a peaceful solution to the unrest – that’s according to the Kremlin. Russia’s Foreign Minister says Western countries are trying to stir-up Syria’s opposition to topple President Bashar al-Assad. Independent web journalist James Corbett thinks the Arab League suspension of Syria means the West is now much closer to achieving its goal of regime change in Damascus.
The Eviction of Occupy Nova Scotia (Mini-Doc) (video)
Potent News Editor’s note: A person named Marc commented on this video saying, “At the end of the video, it mentions 14 people were arrested and released without charges. According to those arrested, they were charged with obstruction of justice. They were released with conditions that they not be in any municipal, provincial, or federal park. They are also not allowed in Grand Parade at city hall, where the Occupy Nova Scotia General Assemblies are held. I believe their court dates are in December.
The 3 who were arrested Saturday have since been released. One is reportedly allowed in parks. The other two had been arrested for violating their park bans and still face those conditions. They are prohibited from associating with each other.“

Reporter Jacob Boon spent much of yesterday on the ground at Victoria Park, and later at the communal meeting at Saint Andrews’ Hall on Robie and Coburg. He took several videos, less of the violence, and more of the scene as events unfolded.
His first, is of police removing tents from Victoria Park after Mayor Peter Kelly gives the order to evict Occupy Nova Scotia protesters.
Halifax protesters want mayor to resign over eviction

Protesters with the Occupy movement in Halifax called on the city’s mayor to resign Saturday after demonstrators who had camped out at a public park were evicted in a testy clash with police.
A few hundred protesters rallied outside city hall Saturday, chanting “Peter Kelly has got to go” and demanding that both the mayor and the city’s chief of police explain Friday’s events.
Protesters who had relocated their camp from Grande Parade, a downtown square, to Victoria Park to make way for Remembrance Day ceremonies were served notice early Friday that they would have to leave.
Fourteen people were arrested, and many were charged with obstruction of justice for clashes with police as they tried to dismantle the dozens of tents.
Protest organizer Kyle Buott said protesters were given a few hours to clear out of the park.
Lost in the ranks: Canadian veteran can’t get compensation

Josh Miller isn’t his real name. The 26-year-old ex-corporal says he’s under a standard two-year agreement not to speak to media upon leaving the Canadian Forces. He’s also worried any negative comments could impact the medical settlements he’s fighting to get from Veterans Affairs.
Still, he wanted to talk.
Miller recently moved to Halifax with his girlfriend while she finishes school. Before that, he was serving his country as an infantry member in Afghanistan. He’s tall, broad-shouldered, and has literally been through a war. But all those experiences have left him a different person; struggling to adjust to civilian life back home.
“I’m not the same person I used to be,” he says. “I used to be a very chilled, laid-back person. But now, it doesn’t take anything to make me snap and make me irate.”

What the NP report does not say is that part of this debris is radioactive

It turns out that scientists underestimated the speed with which the debris would reach the Western coast of North America.

Protesters ordered out of Halifax park Friday under camping ban
Police have arrested several people at the Occupy Nova Scotia site in Halifax as they enforce an eviction order and dismantle tents.
Police teams descended on Victoria Park on Friday afternoon, a couple of hours after demonstrators were told to leave the city park because they were camping illegally.
Fourteen people were arrested as of 4 p.m. AT, all for obstruction of justice, Halifax Regional Police said.
“The time has come for the encampment to end,” Mayor Peter Kelly said in a statement. “Our parks are for all of the public, not an unregulated campground for some.”
About 200 people gathered in the park while protesters also dismantled more than a dozen tents and loaded them into a van headed for a nearby church. One demonstrator said they would regroup at the church and figure out their next move since they’ve been told they can’t return to Grand Parade.
