This film is the second in a series of documentaries that are being shown on the first Sunday of each month through June, 2009. <>UNCOUNTED is an explosive documentary that shows how the election fraud that changed the outcome of the 2004 election led to even greater fraud in 2006 - and now looms as an unbridled threat to the otucome of the 2008 election. This controversial feature length film by Emmy award-winning director David Earnhardt examines in factual, logical, and yet startling terms how easy it is to change election outcomes and undermine election integrity across the U.S. Noted computer programmers, statisticians, journalists, and experienced election officials provide the irrefutable proof. In Florida, computer programmer Clint Curtis is directed by his boss to create software that will “flip” votes from one candidate to another. In Utah, County Clerk Bruce Funk is locked out of his office for raising questions about security flaws in electronic voting machines. Californian Steve Heller gets convicted of a felony after he leaks secret documents detailing illegal activites committed by a major voting machine company. UNCOUNTED is a wakeup call to all Americans. Thurs. Oct. 30: “Jerusalem… The East Side Story” Film & Intro by Director Mohammed AlatarPosted by: Barbara in GeneralThe Palestine-Israel Action Committee and “Jerusalem… The East Side Story” With introduction by the director, Thursday, October 30th Actor’s Theatre, 1001 Center St. #12. In 1948, the western part of the city fell under Israeli control; in 1957 the eastern part fell under Israeli occupation. Since then, Israel has pursued a policy of Judaizing the city, aiming to achieve “Jewish demographic superiority.” Part of this policy is to drive Palestinian Muslims and Christians out of the city: denying their presence, history, and ties to the land. The documentary takes you on a journey exposing Israel’s policy to gain supremacy and hegemony over the city and its inhabitants. It also touches on the future of the city: Jerusalem is the key to peace; without Jerusalem there is no peace for anyone. The film includes interviews with Palestinian and Israeli leaders, human rights activists and political analysis. Additional sponsors: Women’s international League for Peace & Freedom Santa Cruz, and the Committee for Justice in Palestine. S 7.50 - $25.00 suggested donation - no one turned away for lack of funds. Proceeds beyond expenses to benefit the Jenin Freedom Theatre and New Profile. Reception included with movie. FREE EVENTS!

Naomi Klein challenges the popular myth of this movement’s peaceful global victory. From Chile in 1973 to Iraq today, Klein shows how Friedman and his followers have repeatedly harnessed terrible shocks and violence to implement their radical policies. “Corporate media constantly refer to the “mistakes” or “missteps” of the U.S. policy in Iraq, or the “incompetence” of U.S. handiling of the Katrina catastrophe. A much darker truth exists. In recent decades, a corporate class and culture has evolved - and taken power in Washington - that thrives on disaster. They create disasters, as in premeditated war [on Iraq], and rush to profit from disasters such as Katrina… The Bush team [after 9/11] … quickly moved to exploit the shock that gripped the nation to push through its radical vision of a hollow government in which everything from war fighting to disaster response was a for-profit venture… . It was a bold evolution of shock therapy.”–Naomi Klein “This is a brilliant book, one of the most importatn I have read in a long time.” -Howard Zinn. FOR MORE INFORMATION, CALL 831-423-1626. |
