Arsenal
of Hypocrisy:
The Space Program and the
Military Industrial Complex
A film followed by a talk by
David Dionisi
|
|
Dave
Dionisi is the author of "American
Hiroshima", a book about how
to prevent the next 9/11 attack in the United
States.
Having served as an Army Intelligence Officer
and as a Fortune 500 executive, Dave tells
the inside story of how the military-industrial
complex works. He has also worked extensively
as a volunteer in Asia, Central America, Europe,
and Africa. He has convinced many conservatives
to renounce support for Bush and the unjust
war in Iraq. |
The
glory days of NASA are over! Today the Military
Industrial Complex is marching towards world
dominance through Space technology on behalf
of global corporate interest. To understand
how and why the Space program will be used
to fight all future wars on earth from Space,
it's important to understand how the public
has been misled about the origins and true
purpose of the Space program.
The discussion following the film will be
led by David Dionisi, founder of the Teach
Peace Foundation, ex-military intelligence
officer and author of "American Hiroshima:
The Reasons Why and a Call to Strengthen
America's Democracy".

Join
Dr. Ann López to celebrate the release
of her new book,
"The Farmworkers' Journey".
One reviewer calls The Farmworkers'
Journey, “a powerful and
moving story of lives affected by agricultural
and trade policies, migration, and the dehumanization
of farm workers.” Illuminating the
dark side of economic globalization, this
book gives a rare insider's view of the
migrant farmworkers' binational circuit
that stretches from the west central Mexico
countryside to central California.
We’ll enjoy a Mexican dinner, discuss
the issues in the book with Dr. Ann, and
watch excerpts from the new documentary,
“El Gigante Awakens”,
about the historic May 1, 2006, Immigrant
Rights March in San Jose.
