    [precede by a musical performance at 6PM]
      In May 2003 officials from the Federal Aviation Administration [FAA] and the North American Aerospace Defense Command [NORAD] testified before the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the United States, aka, the 9-11 Commission.

          1. What did the alleged hijackers use as weapons?
          2.Were the notifications of the hijackings from the FAA to NORAD abnormally delayed or in real-time? 3. Upon notification what was NORAD's response?

      These issues will be analyzed using video clips of the officials' own testimony.

  • "Truth and Politics: Unanswered Questions about 9/11"with David Ray Griffin
    Presbyterian Church of the Roses
    2500 Patio Court, Santa Rosa     (just off Farmer's Lane behind Albertsons)
    Sunday, October 3, 2004, 2:00PM -4:30PM

    David Ray Griffin with Derrill Bodley, father of Deora Bodley, who died on 9/11 in the crash of United Flight 93. Then a panel, including Peter Phillips (Project Censored/SSU), William Haigwood (Sonoma West Times & News), and Bonnie Faulkner (host of Guns & Butter, KPFA Public Affairs Show)

      David Ray Griffin of Claremont School of Theology (Emeritus) , author and editor of 25 books, Griffin was, before his recent retirement, Professor of Philosophy of Religion and Theology at Claremont for 31 years. He is an advocate of process theology and has given special attention to the problem of evil, Jesus and christology, science and theology, and ecology and religion. Two of his most recent books are entitled Reenchantment without Supernaturalism: A Process Philosophy of Religion, and Two Great Truths: A New Synthesis of Scientific Naturalism and Christian Faith.

      So why is Griffin coming to keynote a forum on "Truth and Politics: Unanswered Questions about 9/11"? Because another topic to which he has devoted himself over the past decade has been theology and politics, with particular attention to the need for global democracy. After 9/11, he began an intensive study of US imperialism. In the course of that investigation, he came across evidence suggesting that the attacks of 9/11 may have been arranged by the Bush administration as a pretext to further its imperialistic goals. Out of this study he wrote The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11, which entirely through word-of-mouth publicity--it has yet to be reviewed in a mainstream newspaper or magazine--has become something of a best-seller. It is widely considered the best introduction to the problems with the official account of 9/11. Now Griffin has written another book on the subject, this one taking a critical look at The 9/11 Commission Report. His talk will be based primarily on this forthcoming book, The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions.

      In addition to Griffin, the forum will hear from Derrill Bodley, father of Deora Bodley, who died on 9/11 in the crash of United Flight 93. Then a panel, including Peter Phillips (Project Censored/SSU), William Haigwood (Sonoma West Times & News), and Bonnie Faulkner (host of Guns & Butter, KQED Public Affairs Show), will question Griffin and Bodley, followed by questions from the audience.

      There is no admission fee, only a freewill offering to cover expenses. For additional information, contact - Rev. Paul Burks, at Friends House, 684 Benicia Drive #53, Santa Rosa, CA 95409; 707-576-6653, or pburks@earthlight.org.

      Sponsors of this event include the Unitarian Universalist Congregation's Advocates for Social Justice (SR), the Peace and Justice Center of Sonoma County, Alliance for Democracy, PeaceWorkers, World Stewardship Institute, Origin Press, and Veterans for Peace.

  • Blow the Whistle on Philip Zelikow, Executive Director of the 9/11 Cover-Up Commission!
      Kresge Auditorium, Stanford University,
      next Wednesday, Oct 20, 3:30PM -5:30 PM,( talk begins at 4:15, but people are encouraged to come earlier-the sonsior says come at 3:45 and we should have signs/banner/flyers on hand before the crowds arrive)
       free and open to the public.

        Zelikow, a national security adviser to both Bush administrations, a principal author of the official 9-11 Commission Report, who co-authored a book with Condoleezza Rice, was part of Bush’s transition team for the National Security Council after the 2000 election, and appointed to the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board a month after the 9-11 attacks. The Family Steering Committee called for his resignation because of his obvious conflicts of interests.

        While 9-11 has been used to invade Afghanistan, Iraq, shred the Constitution and Bill of Rights, construct a Global Police State, enrich weapons manufacturers, seize oil assets; there have been no convictions in any courts of law supporting the “government conspiracy theory,” particularly the Saddam Hussein/Al Qaeda link. Zelikow has helped ignore and steer questions away from “Who financed the attacks? Who had the means, motive, and ability to carry it out? Who benefited? Who had the ability to destroy evidence, and cover up the crime?”

        The 9-11 Commission failed to mention or address the mulitple wargames/exercises that were being conducted that day, out of the White House. As many as five war game drills were in process, some involving hijacked airliners, some involving false blips deliberately inserted onto FAA and military radar screens. One exercise pulled significant fighter resources away from the North Eastern United States on September 11th, 2001. These exercises involved NORAD, the FAA, the Canadian Air Force, the CIA, the National Reconnaissance Office, and, “coincidentally,” in New York City massive preparations were underway for a “biochemical attack drill” involving FEMA, the Mayor’s Office of Emergency Management, the FBI, US Department of Justice, Weill Medical College of Cornell Medical Center, NY Department of Health, NY Fire Department, NY Police Department, the American Red Cross, the Port Authority. The Secret Service and Cheney’s overseeing role during the events of 9-11 should have been scrutinized.

        It’s time to question Zelikow, and cast some light on the darker secrets of the Shadow Government that uses terror and war to increase and maintain their power.

        The 9/11 Commission’s Report and recommendations are highly suspect, if not downright fictitious. (Ominously, they are being used to rush through legislation to create a new powerful overseeing Intelligence Agency.)

        Questions and Issues that they completely ignored-

        The importance of oil, “Peak Oil,” Cheney’s Secret Energy Task Force meetings, the importance of the illicit drug trade to the US economy (particularly the heroin flow through Afghanistan), money laundering, the strategic importance of the Caspian Sea region, Pakistan’s ISI’s close relationship with the CIA, the Carlyle group, Dave Fresca, Sibel Edmonds, Coleen Rowley, John O’Neill, insider trading, Israel, World Trade Center Building #7, Enron, the Office of National Preparedness…

        Questions for Zelikow-

        Why didn't you resign after you ended up testifying as a witness to your own Commission?

        What did it mean when Commissioner Max Cleland did resign last year, and called the Commission a whitewash and a sequel to the Warren Commission?

        Why does "The 9/11 Commission Report" fail to pursue the well-known terror connections of the CIA's client agency, the Pakistani ISI? Why does it ignore reports that the alleged 9/11 plotters received funds from the ISI? Why does it claim that the financing of the 9/11 attacks is of "no practical significance"?

        Why does the report fail to ask why the key men in the U.S. military chain of command - Bush, Rumsfeld, Myers, Winfield - by their own accounts and by the public record appear to have done nothing to exercise their decision-making authorities during the actual 9/11 attacks, i.e. in the time from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Sept. 11, 2001?

        Why does the report omit to mention the advance warnings of attacks on the United States received from foreign intelligence agencies in the weeks prior to Sept. 11?

        Why does the report ignore the FBI whistleblowers who decried high-level obstruction of field investigations into potential terrorists in the months before 9/11?

        Why did the report arbitrarily change the timeline, in contradiction to public testimony, of U.S. air defense response on Sept. 11?

        Why doesn't the report even mention the mysterious collapse of a third skyscraper, 7 WTC, on the afternoon of Sept. 11? Why doesn't the report condemn Rumsfeld and Rice for their repeated statements that "no one could have imagined planes used as weapons," –demonstrable lies? Did the Commissioners pursue any of the above lines of questioning in the confidential parts of their 18-month investigation? Did they have access to relevant information not included in their report, and not covered in the public hearings? There is no way to tell: the report lacks visible redactions to show the censoring of classified material.

            9/11: Looking Backward and Looking Forward

            Philip Zelikow is the Executive Director of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, better known as the "9/11 Commission." He will speak about his work with the Commission.

            Dr. Zelikow is also the Director of the Miller Center of Public Affairs and White Burkett Miller Professor of History at the University of Virginia. After serving in government with the Navy, the State Department, and the National Security Council, he taught at Harvard before assuming his present post in Virginia to direct the nation's largest research center on the American presidency. He was a member of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board and served as executive director of the National Commission on Federal Election Reform, chaired by former Presidents Carter and Ford, as well as the executive director of the Markle Foundation Task Force on National Security in the Information Age.

            Zelikow's books include The Kennedy Tapes (with Ernest May), Germany Unified and Europe Transformed (with Condoleezza Rice), and the rewritten Essence of Decision (with Graham Allison). Zelikow has also been the Director of the Aspen Strategy Group, a policy program of the Aspen Institute.

        Examination of the Sponsoring Organization's website reveals that-
          "CISAC receives Department of Homeland Security contract for research on organizational learning for terrorism response

          The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has awarded a 15-month $1.65-million contract to the Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC), Stanford Institute for International Studies. CISAC's program will be run as part of a joint project with the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in Monterey.

          CISAC co-director and professor of political science Scott Sagan and former co-director and professor emeritus (research) in the School of Engineering Michael May are the Stanford co-principal investigators of the new program.

          CISAC's portion of the project entails a homeland security seminar and fellowship program, which will bring eight research fellows to campus in 2004-05. Fellows will join CISAC and other faculty to conduct research on some of the most daunting issues confronting the homeland security mission, such as how national and local agencies can learn to cooperate quickly and effectively and how they can learn from past emergencies, real and simulated. CISAC will undertake in-depth scholarly research that can help inform DHS efforts to improve the design and evaluation of future terrorism exercises of national and local response systems.

          Scholars will study diverse approaches to learning--and failing to learn--from emergencies, including those of armed forces, medical emergency rooms, police and fire departments. Researchers will also investigate how government organizations can stay ahead of potential attackers in the "competitive learning" situation that terrorism presents--one in which terrorists and law enforcement officials alike try to learn from vulnerabilities exposed in public emergencies.

          The DHS research contract resulted in part from CISAC's observation of the spring 2003 State Department-DHS sponsored full-scale exercise called TOP OFFICIALS-2 (TOPOFF-2), designed to prepare national, state and local officials to respond to potential terrorist attacks within the US. CISAC led 11 Stanford scholars in observing and analyzing the exercise involving officials from 25 federal, state, and local agencies. DHS Secretary Tom Ridge received a briefing of CISAC's findings, prepared under May's direction as principal investigator.

          Lynn Eden, CISAC associate director for research, will manage Stanford's participation in the new project and mentor the homeland security fellows.

    Thursday, October 21, 2004

    Your Organizer, Josh Salans, sent the following message to the members of Santa Clara County 9/11 Questions Meetup Group.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hi fellow 9/11 truth seekers in Santa Clara Cty. My name is Josh Salans and I have volunteered to be the organizer of this since no one elese wanted to. Therefore my first dictatorial decision will be to change the meeting location unless I hear outstanding requests to leave it alone. (Camera 2 is far away from me). I am inviting you to my home in Sunnyvale. If you can make it send me an email and I will send you directions. We are still on for thursday October 21 and I would like to change the time to 7:30pm to 9:30 pm, again if that would work for everyone else. Thank you,

    Josh Salans, jsalans@aol.com

  • SOLVING ' '9/11'
    A PEOPLE'S GRAND JURY
    at THEATER ARTAUD in SAN FRANCISCO
    Saturday, November 6, 7:00--11:00 p.m.
      Theater Artaud, 450 Florida, San Francisco, CA 94110

      Presentation of Evidence on the Crimes of September 11, 2001 by Prosecuting Researchers
      RALPH SCHOENMAN, MICHAEL DIETRICK, JIM HOFFMAN and DON PAUL
      Discussion and Deliberations and Possible Indictments of Leading Suspects by Public Grand Jury
      WHY: Need for a True Accounting of the Most Consequential Crimes of Our Time

      As shown by the huge response to movies such as "Fahrenheit 911" and by Democrat and Republican candidates' promises to increase the " 'War on Terror' ", the events of September 11, 2001 continue to be a tremendous concern for the people of the United State and the world.

      As yet, however, Government investigations--in particular The 9/11 Commission Report--and mass-media reports--such as PBS' "Why the Towers Fell"--have failed to address major facts of the " 'Attack on America' " or to question huge inconsistencies in official accounts.

      A Public Grand Jury is therefore needed. Several researchers will present slide-show findings about key aspects of the 9/11/01 crimes. Ralph Schoenman, an organizer with Bertrand Russell of the Vietnam War Crimes Tribunal, will relate ties betweeen the supposed hijackers and U. S. Government agencies.
      Pilot Michael Dietrick will detail inconsistencies in the fatal airliners' supposed flight-paths and the supposed U. S. military response.
      Computer-scientist Jim Hoffman will prove that the World Trade Center's Building 7 and Twin Towers must have been demolished.
      Author Don Paul will look at capabilities of a Boeing 757-200 and look at damage to the Pentagon and detail who has most profited from the 9/11/01 destruction and from the ensuing " "War on Terror' ".

      The roles of ten Leading Suspects (Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, financier David Rockefeller, Blackstone Group Chairman Peter G. Peterson, NORAD General Ralph Eberhardt, then-Brigadier General Montague Winfield, former FEMA Director Joe Allbaugh, developer Larry Silverstein, former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, and reporter Judith Miller) on, before and afer 9/11/01 will be examined.

      Then the Public Grand Jury will discuss, deliberate, and decide who of the above deserve indictment.

      Join us for a breakthrough proceeding! $5--20 sliding-scale (no one turned away)

      Joe Public Films has received exclusive Afghan battle & rescue footage from award winning cameraman M. Yousuf Jonnesar. The documentary features traditional Afghan music and songs from David Rovics and others.

  • A Radically Different World View Is Possible
    The Gift Economy Inside and Outside of Patriarchal Capitalism
    NOVEMBER 13-14, 2004
      Clark County Library
      1401 East Flamingo Road,
      Las Vegas, Nevada

      People from across the U.S. are coming to hear international women speakers discuss a different point of view, one that will offset the negative and exploitative mentality of our times, while encouraging non violent activism to change the global Patriarchal Capitalist system. Proposing to unite the women's movement, the movement of indigenous peoples for social change, the movement against domestic violence, the movement for alternative spiritualities and many others with the anti nuclear and peace movements, the gift paradigm envisions total and long lasting social change stemming from an economic and cultural model based on women's practice.

      Organized and sponsored by The Center for the Study of the Gift Economy, Austin, Texas.

      I spoke on "Facing the Shadow of 9-11," and by chance had the opportunity to give my paper to the presidents of ABC, CBS, NBC the next day, when they spoke at Stanford on the 2004 Election and I questioned them on 9-11. The footage was aired on Nevember 19, 2004 on C-Span>. The audio of my talk is also posted online, with most of the other talks at the Gift Economy website. http://www.GiftEconomyConference.com

    • Wednesday, Dec 22, 7pm-?,
      136 Taylor St., San Francisco for our next Conscious Sound Collective event.
        I'll miss it- so just have the plan for this event- check the website for details! Chris wrote to me- I have the Solace International folks coming in [check 'em out at www.solaceinternational.org], to do a short slide show of their work in Afghanistan and to set up a market for the crafts they've been importing back. Proceeds go to building schools in Afghanistan, the nation with the worst literacy rate in the world [go figure, with the globe's superpowers tearing apart their country]. Oh...those are the proceeds from their sales. The event will be free to the public, of course.

        Haven't settled on a film yet, thinking about "Osama," but it's hardly a "feel good." Would love to have you speak. My initial theme was "what to do now--post election." So many of my friends and comrades are/were seriously depressed after investing so much time and energy into the Kerry campaign. I've been assuaging their fears with the iconoclastic concept that Bush's re-theftelection is the best thing for us. He has that certain way of stirring up that old-fashioned "get involved in your democracy" feelings.

        As I believe that 9-11 Truth will be catalyst for toppling the evil empire, and not just the Bush Dynasty, I am still devoted to spreading the word...

    • Verifygra Rally, Thursday, January 6th
      outside of Senator Barbara Boxer's San Francisco office.
      The rally will be from from 12:00 Noon to 1:30 pm at 1700 Montgomery St, near Chestnut and Embarcadero.

        Publicity materials state that VERIFYGRA was "tested and proven effective in Ukraine --- and now available in the United States" They are encouraging people to ask John Kerry and other Senators to get on Verifygra and stand up against the inadequate recount in Ohio, and ultimately, to refuse to certify the election on January 6th.

        *Although our focus is 9-11, we need to realize that these guys who pulled 9-11,and helped cover it up, stole not one, but two elections- and we shouldn't let them get away with it."

    January 20, 2005, 10:00 AM- 7:00 PM, Civic Center, San Francisco
      We will gather at the Civic Center in San Francisco, along with Veteran's for Peace. We will have lots of banners, signs, flyers, deception dollars, our tables with resource materials. Veteran's for Peace will bring panels- each of which needs two people to hold them- with photos and names of all those American soldiers killed in Iraq, and people will take turns reading the names of the dead. We will create space for thought, public dialogue, reflection on the stolen elections, crimes of the current regime, and encourage people to speak truth, and withdraw their cooperation from an oppressive empire.
      4:00 PM- 7:00 PM The Northern California 9-11 Truth Alliance will gather at the 9-11 table to distribute signs, literature to the larger crowd.
      At 5:00 PM We will regather at the 9-11 table and offer signs to others who would like to be part of our contingent during the rally. After the rally, please help gather our signs and return them to the table to be reused at subsequent rallies/marches.

    Phone 650-857-0927, Carol Brouillet, for more details or to volunteer.

      Humanist Hall
      390 27th Street, Oakland

      John Judge to speak on current events

        “The events of 9/11 have been used as a pretext for the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, and have become a symbol of an end to democracy.” John Judge says.

      He will be speaking on 9/11, addressing the findings of the 9/11 Commission and many things you want to know but are not sure how to ask. He will address the deceit that the Bush administration uses to make huge war profits and rob domestic institutions, like social security, in order to finance a permanent war economy. Peter Dale Scott, recently returned from Thailand, will open the program.

  • 9/11 the Road to Tyranny An Alex Jones Documentary
      Wed, Mar 2, 2005 7:00 pm
      Humanist Hall
      390 27th Street between Telegraph & Broadway below Pill Hill parking next door off both 27th & 28th StreetsHill

      Presented by Erin McCann

        The mainstream media is whitewashing and lying about what really happened on September 11th 2001. This film is shaking the foundations of Washington D.C. as the definitive film on what really happened on September 11th and who stands to gain. The US government needed a crisis to convince the people to willingly give up their liberty in exchange for safety. Now the painful facts are in. The dark forces of global government are funding, training, and protecting terrorist networks worldwide. This Alex Jones’ film documents the ruthless history of governments orchestrating terrorist attacks against their own people to scare them into total submission. In this brutal expose you will witness the birth of a global police state that surpasses Orwell’s nighmarish vision. It’s all here: the history of government-sponsored terrorism, the modern implementation of fear-based control and, most frightening of all, the New World Order’s future plans. This is one film you cannot afford to ignore. The future of free people everywhere is at stake.

      Activist Opportunity!!!

        MONDAY MARCH 7, 2005- BOOK DISCUSSION
        5:30 p.m., Program | Club Office, 595 Market St, 2nd floor, San Francisco
        FREE EVENT
        THE 9/11 COMMISSION REPORT
        (For the Commonwealth Club and the Public)
        We'll discuss 2004's most prominent release, by the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States. Nominated for the National Book Award, The 9/11 Commission Report has been widely hailed as "a government document written by committee that miraculously reads like an international espionage thriller." As a reminder, this is a book discussion group; the authors will NOT be present.

        Program Chair: Howard Crane

      A reminder. We met Janette MacKinlay at the Commonwealth Club event where the Commissioners spoke. Janette will be going to this event and would like support from those of us who have read the Official Report and can cite its serious failings.

    • Premiering- The 9/11 News Special You Never Saw
      March 10, 2005 at the Grand Lake Theatre, Oakland

        Followed by a dialogue with Producer- Barrie Zwicker (Latest article on Barrie),
        with expert on international terrorism, historian, author of 9-11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA,
        Webster G. Tarpley (presentation at the International Inquiries into 9-11);
        Director of Project Censored, Peter Phillips (Latest article by Peter)
        Investigative Researcher- Michael Kane (latest article by Michael);
        the press & the public

        Barrie Zwicker was the first mainstream television journalist to deeply examine the official 9-11 story; he was director of the Toronto International Citizens’ Inquiry into 9-11. In the documentary, Zwicker analyzes the use of fear to unnerve the public, and deconstructs the so-called “war on terror.” He examines in depth the failure of the military on 9/11, and George Bush’s highly inappropriate behavior on that day. He finds the 9/11 Commission Report to be a cover-up operation. Throughout the film, he analyzes the role of mainstream media in keeping the public misinformed. (The great comedian,Swami Beyondananda, will be in charge of film breaks; humor being the best fortifier for facing painful truths). These events are especially designed to encourage the press to write and speak about the most censored questions and truths of our times, and to participate in the public dialogue which will explore these questions and more:

        Why did Bush and Cheney limit the investigation?
        Why were interceptor jets late, slow, and ineffectual?
        What explains Bush's actions and inactions on 9/11?
        Why was evidence removed or kept from investigators?
        Who benefited? Why the media silence? What can we do?

    • The Arrogance of Power-
        Being American After 9/11

          Fredricksburg, Virginia, April 1, 2, & 3
            An academic conference,sessions will be held on the campus of the University of Mary Washington.
              Being American After September 11th

              September 11th polarized the U.S. and the world in ways still being felt, though it should strike us as curious that there has never even been any pretension to, or place for, neutrality on the subject within the United States. Americans have ranged from vocal, patriotic support for the silent, yet visible, endorsement of the president’s policies to a hand-wringing uncertainty about how to proceed in a world that is, we are told, “fundamentally changed.” By invoking emblems such as Hitler, Nazi Germany, and the Axis of Evil, advocates for a “war on terrorism” have effectively stalled any patient or complex discussion of that day or its significance in forging a national identity. The rhetoric of “national security” has been used to advance the war campaign in Iraq, while civil liberties continue to diminish at home. By virtue of the “Patriot Act” virtually suspended have been basic civil rights afforded by the U.S. Constitution and human rights (combatant and otherwise) secured by the Third Geneva Convention—most notably, habeas corpus and due process; President Bush has recently requested that Congress extend the term and provisions of the Patriot Act. The U.S. government is not entirely at fault, however. If the style of this particular political administration is, as Mikhail Bakhtin would have described it, intensely “monologic,” to what degree does the enthusiastic (and pathic) cooperation of the people of the U.S. contribute to this dynamic? In a three-day conference to be held in the spring of 2005 at the University of Mary Washington (formerly Mary Washington College) in Fredericksburg, Virginia, we want to talk about the intellectual, social, and cultural origins of what “being American” means at the present hour. It is central to our hypothesis that “being American” is different after the Cold War and still more so after September 11th. Whether those differences are merely quantitative or are, in fact, qualitative remains a subject for further discussion.

            Details posted at http://www.arroganceofpower.net/. Keynote speakers include Ralph Nader.

    • Celebration/Strategizing Our Next Move
        The Northern California 9/11 Truth Alliance will celebrate the success of the premieres of "The 9-11 News Special You Never Saw- The Great Conspiracy" and the publication of a 9/11 Cover Story in the San Francisco Bay Guardian and assess where we are, and where we want to go, and how to get there.
        April 2, 2005- Oakland Hills, beginning at 10:00 a.m. with the videos, strategizing begins at 3:00 p.m., closing at 6:00 p.m.
        The videos- "A Force More Powerful" and "Bringing Down a Dictator" I had originally wanted to share with the group and possibly screen on March 11th at the War Memorial Building, they look at the non-violent resistance movements of the past two centuries, because I think we have a lot to learn from them.

        Janette is willing to host the party at her home, and to make it easier for her, please R.S.V.P.. Mail to janette007@sbcglobal.net. She can also give detailed directions to those who didn't help with the mailing.

        This is a potluck, so please bring a dish or beverages to share.

        Our "community" extends well beyond the bounds of the Bay Area, and we can nurture and encourage and solicit the gifts of people well beyond our immediate circle. "Community" itself means "the free exchange of gifts" and each of us has some gift, skill, talent, resource, insight to offer. Everyone is encouraged to bring your best ideas, dreams, inspirations, energy to the gathering and to remember that-
        "Together we can do what none of us could do alone."

        Saturday Evening at 7:30 p.m. our dear Swami Beyondananda is doing a show in San Francisco and we could all migrate over to SF to join him. To RSVP to go with the group- Mail to cbrouillet@igc.org. More details posted at the Swami's website- www.wakeuplaughing.com

          Spend All Fools’ Weekend With a Fooly-Realized Master --

          Swami Beyondananda

          If you’re starting to despair
          that our human foolishness just isn’t funny anymore,
          Swami Beyondananda will help you change your mind.
          If you live in the Bay Area,
          you have three chances to make one on April 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

          Santa Cruz, Friday April 1st

          On April Fools Day itself --
          Friday evening, April 1st
          the Swami will be doing two shows at the Cayuga Vault in Santa Cruz
          with his “musical posse,” RatPack Kirtan.
          If you can imagine Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis, Jr. tunes
          done in traditional East Indian style --
          then you might not need to come hear this performance
          which defies the imagination.
          But if you’re like most people,
          you can’t really imagine it,
          so you need to be there as Vegas meets the Vedas.
          Book your tickets early --
          just a total of 200 seats for both performances.
          Remember, if you miss it
          -- you weren’t there.
          Cayuga Vault is at 1100 Soquel at Cayuga
          (between Branciforte and Seabright),
          and show times are 7 and 9 p.m.
          Tickets are just $12 in advance,
          $15 at the door
          and can be purchased at Streetlight Records,
          939 Pacific, (831) 421-9200.

          San Francisco, Saturday April 2nd

          As a follow up,
          the Swami will be flying solo on Saturday night
          at Unity Christ Church of San Francisco,
          where he will be launching this year’s Wake Up Laughing tour.

        Vets' Hall, Front St (by P.O.), Santa Cruz
          Less than two weeks ago, Ginger spoke in NYC to the United Nations Human Rights Commission and at Stanford University just last week. Her scope and expertise on the issues of peace law runs from the highest of international levels to the pragmatic local level.

          Ginger is executive director of Meiklejohn Civil Liberties Institute, which she founded in 1965 as a center for human rights and peace law. An attorney since 1947, in 1959 she won a case in the U.S. Supreme Court against the Ohio Un-American Activities Committee. She wrote the first book on "The New Draft Law" during the Vietnam War, the first article on "Police Misconduct Litigation" and "Minimizing Racism in Jury Trials" in 1968. Her 25th book,"Challenging U.S. Human Rights Violations Since 9/11," just released by Prometheus Books, already has been praised by Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky, and Rep. John Conyers, Jr.

        The Power of Nightmares- The Rise of the Politics of Fear

          At the Roxie Cinema
          3117 16th St. (at Valencia), San Francisco
          Showtimes: Nightly at 7:00pm with additional Wed, Sat & Sun matinees at (12:00 noon) & 3:30.
            Part of the SF Indie Fest presents this uncut, BBC series of documentary films (3 one hour films) about how fear has come to dominate politics not only in America, but throughout the world, and how much of that fear is based on illusion. The films tell the story of the rise of today’s nightmare vision of a hidden, organized network of terror and show clearly how much of that threat has been distorted and exaggerated by politicians. In an age disillusioned with optimistic political visions of the future, politicians have stumbled on a new force that can restore their power and authority, the fear of a hidden and organized web of evil which they can protect their people from. These films show how that fantasy was created, and why, by telling an epic story that starts in America in 1949 and ends in the present day. At the heart of the story are two groups, the American Neoconservatives and the Radical Islamists. Both these groups were idealists born out of the failure of the post-war liberal optimism, and both had very similar explanations for why that failure had occurred. Both groups did change the world, but not in the way either intended. Their actions over the last thirty years have led to today’s strange fantasy of fear which has spread through all levels of government, the security services and the international media. A fantasy that no-one questions because those with the darkest nightmares have become the most powerful. England. 2004.

          Runningtime: 180 minutes. ADMISSION=$10.00.

          "We will need to talk about what we want to organize for late September action calls (for one, see unitedforpeace.org). In advance, think about what you and your organization, if you represent one, would put time, energy and money towards seeing happen sometime in or around September 24 to 26.

            Northern California 9-11 Truth Alliance www.sf911truth.org

            Northern California 9-11 Truth Alliance emerged from challenging the official narrative of 9-11 and questioning the "War on Terrorism." From rallies, protests, educational films, conferences, actions, television programs, radio programs, art, the group has sought to overcome the censorship of the mainstream and independent press to get out the basic facts about 9-11, challenging a well documented number of lies, and a cover-up on the part of the government. The Deception Dollars, a cooperative effort on the part of activists, artist Blaine Machan, and various websites, have been very popular and helped to birth a 9-11 Truth Movement. At the recent National Conference on Media Reform, 9-11 truth activists converged to bypass traditional gatekeepers with information passing out hundreds of DVDs and CDs of David Ray Griffin's talk- The American Empire and 9-11 which was broadcast on C-Span. This chaordic group, has developed a cooperative network of film-makers, researchers, activists, journalists to challenge the heart of the biggest myth of this century, and challenge the legitimacy of the Empire's war for global domination.

    • July 22nd Congressional Briefing:
      The 9/11 Commission Report One Year Later A Citizens' Response - Did They Get It Right
        Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) will host a full-day briefing, co-sponsored by Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ), and other sponsors, for Members of Congress and their staffs in the Caucus Room, Cannon House Office Building, Room 345, Independence Ave. & First Street SE, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.

        One year after the release of the 9/11 Commission Final Report many questions about what transpired on September 11, 2001 and who should be held accountable still remain unanswered. Serious flaws and omissions in the Report have been addressed by whistleblowers and academics. Well known researchers and authors have put the events of that day into historical perspective, and have suggested possible alternatives to the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission regarding intelligence reform, domestic and foreign policy. The hard evidence has yet to be properly evaluated, and points to the need for full transparency, release of information, and continued probative investigations to have an effective, democratic response to the crisis that confronts all of us.

        Family members of the victims of 9/11 will present a "Report Card" to address their still unanswered questions about the events of 9/11 and the lack of accountability for the security and intelligence failures that may have allowed these events to happen. Other experts will speak to the flaws in the 9/11 Commission's process, including conflicts of interest, lack of transparency, investigative rigor and public input, and the many whistleblowers ignored by the Commission.

        One panel of experts will explore the omissions and errors in the Commission's Final Report, including the timeline of NORAD/FAA and P-56 defense responses that day, the suspects and plot, the background of Al Qaeda and bin Laden, the involvement of other countries, the obstruction of investigations by the FBI and CIA, and foreknowledge and forewarnings prior to the attacks. Another panel will place 9/11 into historical perspective and look at the flawed assumptions that misled the Commission's work, including the politics of illegal drugs, oil investments, covert operations and terrorism, as well as past covert operations like Contragate and the rise of the neo-conservatives and their agenda.

        The last half of the day will be a critical examination by experts of the Commission¹s recommendations concerning domestic and foreign policy and intelligence reforms, suggesting other alternatives and policies that could lead to real security and preserve civil liberties and democracy. Rep. McKinney will also address the need for further investigation and opening the evidence for public scrutiny. A list of confirmed speakers so for includes:

          Robert McIlvaine, father of 9/11 victim, member of September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows

          Marilyn Rosenthal PhD., mother of 9/11 victim, professor at U. of Michigan, expert on forewarnings to 9/11
