| May 16 | 3rd Friday Films3rd Friday FilmsWhen: Fri, May 16, 6:30:pm - 7:30:pm Where: Wrench in the Works "Power of Nightmares" (Part 2 of 3) 1 hour. The second of three 1 hour parts to the BBC documentary goes further into the story of the parallel historyand development of the U.S. neo-con movement and their middle east cousins, the Islamic fundamentalist movement, and how they both depend on fear and intimidation to maintain their political power. "Tremendously important information. This 3-part series is remarkable in its scope and depth...and goes into the fascibnating and chilling details that show how the neo-cons actually fueled terrorism and oppressed citizens in the U.S. and U.K. with false charges(well over 600). This is very well-researched, not an opinion piece... directly addresses many myths, fro how Russia fell (with neo-cons and Islamic fundamentalists both taking credit for it), to how charges against citizens were trumped up in fewar-driven witch hunt. It concludes with how blatantly people are being arrested because they might commit a crime, and the consequences of this approach to society." - from a review by Robert Yourell, San Diego 3/1/08 Contacts: claycolt@gmail.com | 6:30 | PM |
