ITEM OVERVIEW
What are the most important historical moments of US involvement in the Middle East and Afghanistan? How exactly did the media's process of incrimination of Arabs and Muslims work in the moments after the attacks? What are the connections between the war on terrorism and the war on drugs? The military industrial complex and the prison industrial complex? How is the federal government already cracking down on dissent? What kind of power do we have to fight the threats to our civil liberties? What good can come of this situation?
Recorded live at the San Francisco anti-war teach-in on the day the US started air strikes against Afghanistan (10/7/01), here's 70 minutes of inspiring, incisive speeches linking US militarism to other globalization issues. Brief, smart, and in plain speech, each track forms part of a larger, coherent, rational argument for opposing the war and the consolidation of the power of global capital that it's meant to secure.
Singer Utah Phillips; Eyad Kishawi of the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee; activist Van Jones on the opposition of third world people; journalist Alexander Cockburn on hopeful signs; Professor Joel Beinin on the geopolitical history of the Middle East and US involvement there; journalist Christian Parenti on civil liberties.
Arm yourself with facts as well as analysis, and start "turning the active minority into the anti-war majority." —from the CD
