Tuesday, September 12 7pm-10pm $5 Donation, (No one turned away for lack of funds) SOMA Creativity Center 81 Langton Street, Suite 13 San Francisco, CA 94103 (near folsom/7th across from Brainwash) Map: http://tinyurl.com/f4dqu FILM SYNOPSIS: From the front-lines of conflicts in Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, Palestine, Korea, 'the North' from Seattle to Genova, and the 'War on Terror' in New York, Afghanistan, and Iraq. It is the story of men and women around the world who resist being annihilated in this war. While our airwaves are crowded with talk of a new world war, narrated by generals and filmed from the noses of bombs, the human story of this global conflict remains untold. "The Fourth World War" brings together the images and voices of the war on the ground. It is a story of a war without end and of those who resist. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Tuesday, September 12th http://globalexchange.org/getInvolved/bayarea.php Tue, Sep 12, 2006 - Thu, Dec 21, 2006 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm Anti-Torture Teach-in/Vigil Resumes at UC Berkeley w/Carlos Mauricio UC Berkeley Boalt Hall Law School Bancroft Avenue (at the fountain at the end of College Ave) Berkeley Tue, Sep 12, 2006 5:30 pm The World According to Sesame Street—Film & Presentations Koret Auditorium, San Francisco Public Library 100 Larkin St. (Civic Center Bart) San Francisco Tue, Sep 12, 2006 6:00 pm New News Out of Africa w/Charlayne Hunter-Gault Museum of the African Diaspora 685 Mission Street (at Third) San Francisco Tue, Sep 12, 2006 6:00 pm Author & Journalist Michael Pollan @ Commonwealth Club Commonwealth Club 595 Market St., 2nd Floor San Francisco Tue, Sep 12, 2006 7:00 pm How to End the Wars in the Middle East and Iraq – and Keep Out of Future Wars Unitarian Universalist Church 55 Eckley Lane Walnut Creek Tue, Sep 12, 2006 7:30 pm [view] Film: Refuseniks Fellowship Hall, First Baptist Church (Wheelchair accessible) 305 N.

With brutal honesty and a touch of irony, this film explores the American Way of Life and its prospects as the planet approaches a critical era, as global demand for fossil fuels begins to outstrip supply. As the film explains, scientists and some policy makers are arguing that world peak oil and the inevitable decline of fossil fuels are upon us now. The consequences of inaction in the face of this global crisis are enormous. What does peak oil mean for North America? As energy prices skyrocket in the coming years, how will the populations of suburbia react to the collapse of their dream? Are today’s suburbs destined to become the slums of tomorrow? And what can be done NOW, individually and collectively, to avoid the end of suburbia? http://www.endofsuburbia.com Before and after the film, everyone’s invited to indulge in our Humanist Tea House $5 donations are accepted http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eve/196853051.html =========================================== # Sept 13-Nov 29. 12 week HoopGirl™ Hoopdance Workout.

Thanks again for being part of this wealthy community. We are very excited about the dynamic created by our new format and so we want to continue to use it. We encourage you to come prepared to speak about your: -passions -needs -and gifts Every Abundance Leaguer will get a chance to talk about what moves them, what they need, and what they have to offer to this exceptional community. If you feel called to help out by taking notes at the next gathering, please do let us know.

San Francisco, CA 94103 1 block from the Powell St. BART station Street parking, or 5th & Mission Garage Suggested donation sliding scale $5-10 Open to the public (No one under 21 allowed) Two artists present explanations for 9/11 at variance with the official 9/11 Commission Report, one sober and factual, the other seriously funny. Also, artists present a proposal for a memorial in Shanksville, PA to Flight #93 PROGRAM Trudy Myrrh Reagan briefly reminisces about YLEM’s 20th anniversary celebration in 2001 held just days after 9/11, and displays the actual comments that people in attendance wrote on the wall about it in their state of shock. Trudy Myrrh Reagan is YLEM’s founder. Chuck Thurston, “Perception, Suggestion and Reality in the Destruction of the World Trade Center Towers - a look at how fear and mass media are combined to create false beliefs in large populations.” After a brief but riveting overview of overwhelming evidence supporting the controversial explosive-demolition hypothesis of the destruction of the World Trade Center, Thurston will show how it is part of a long and continuing history of “false flag” provocations, ones which have propelled us into many wars. Thurston is an independent artist and expert on high-end digital printing. Frank Garvey, “The Real 9/11 Conspiracy - Solved!” Surrealist Frank Garvey presents yet another 'conspiracy' theory on these events. Garvey believes that they flowed inexorably from the structural decisions of the ruling classes in the U.S., Saudi Arabia and elsewhere. In response to the revolutionary rise of Arab nationalism in the 1960's, these power structures have much in common behind the veils of their respective religions. They decided to siphon off the social discontent of poor masses in the Middle East into supposedly more impotent channels, with the help of very reactionary elements in Islam. Garvey’s theory spins off a whole series of outrageous branches and tentacles which will astound and outrage the most tolerant of attendees, no matter what their ideology, income level or hairstyle. Frank Garvey has been delighting people with mordant humor and robotic mischief in his OmniCircus Junkyard Cabaret since 1988. Paula Levine and Susan Schwartzenberg, “Currents: a proposal for a memorial to Flight #93.” In the fall of 2005, artists Susan Schwartzenberg, Peter Richards and Paula Levine, in collaboration with landscape architect, Tom Leader, designed and submitted a proposal commemorating the crash of United Airlines, Flight #93. The plane originally departed from Newark, New Jersey, and was bound for Los Angeles California when it crashed in an open, nonresidential old mining field just outside of Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The proposal was in response to an international call for submissions to design a commemorative to be located on the site of the plane crash. Currents was designed to counter the tendency of monuments to delimit and flatten history. It aimed to create an active commemorative that would grow and change over time using a design that incorporated a large reclamation project, education and research on site, and a large Global Positioning Satellite network of site embedded narratives that wove throughout the large memorial site. Schwartzenberg and Levine will talk about this collaboration within a larger context of memorials and history, and explore culture’s current compulsion to memorialize prior to the necessary shift from visceral to collective cultural memory. Susan Schwartzenberg, a senior artist at the Exploratorium, is a photographer and visual artist. Paula Levine, professor of conceptual and information arts at SFSU, specializes in locative media like uses of GPS and maps.

His recently launched 'Architecture 2030' http://www.architecture2030.org <http://www.aiasf.org/%20http:/www.architecture2030.org> draws a connection between building design and global warming, with research indicating that building design and construction could have a greater effect on reversing global warming than any other industry sector. Considering this research, the AIA Board of Directors released a policy statement calling for a 50% reduction in use of fossil fuels for buildings in four years, with additional reductions leading to eventual carbon-neutrality by 2030. Mazria will present his vision for how to meet these goals. $10 AIA Members; $20 Nonmembers Register Early, Space Limited.

There is a day! http://worldcantwait.net/ Well as some of you might know (maybe all) there is a plan for a "nationwide" protest against the fascists in power. This is being organized bz WorldCantWait I think Cascadians should get involved.... this group involves people like Gore Vidal... their idea is to stimulate the begining of a Colour Revolution like in the Ukraine with its Orange Revolution. I think this is a means to get the idea of an Evergreen Revolution in the collective thoughts of Cascadians ... so after the coming November election fraud and mostlikely WorldCantWaits failure for a full "nationwide" revolution then Cascadians might keep these tools and ideas in mind for our Evergreen Revolution (using the ideas from the book "From Dictatorship to Democracy" http://www.hermanos.org/nonviolence/dictodem.html) WORLD CAN'T WAIT http://worldcantwait.net # Please join us for the First Annual Berkeley Sustainability Summit!

This talk is based on recent research conducted at Sonoma State University which identified 240 global dominance advocates who have been the primary promoters and beneficiaries of the so-called war on terror before and after 9/11. Dr. Phillips covers the rise of the neocons and their agenda, who benefited from 9/11 and permanent war, the complicity of the corporate media, and the stolen presidential elections. It's a "who dunnit" analysis and investigation of the greatest crime of the 21st century. 4-Ton Girders: Blowing in the Wind? David Chandler / 911SpeakOut.org | September 10 2006 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDyMG9mZC2g&NR 4-ton girders were found as much as 600 feet from the base of the North Tower of the World Trade Center after its collapse. This raises ... all » obvious questions. How fast must they have been ejected from the collapsing building to land that far away? What forces were at work to give such massive structures high horizontal velocities? If anything besides gravity was at work, pandora's box is opened up. 911 - inside job.
