DESCRIPTION:Award-winning Sundance producers, Guerrilla News Network (GNN), will be 
 showing their new investigative documentary, "AfterMath: Unanswered 
 Questions from 9/11", followed by a panel discussion featuring Michael 
 Ruppert, who has lectured extensively on the subject, and others. GNN says, 
 "With the ongoing confusion over who should lead the federal probe into the 
 September 11 terrorist attacks, we decided to pre-empt the government and 
 produce our own version of a Œtruth commission.¹" Narrated by Hip Hop 
 legend Paris and featuring interviews shot by GNN syndicate producers in 
 six cities, AfterMath features nine people answering eleven of the most 
 pressing questions that emanate from the terrible and, as yet, unexplained, 
 events of that day. GNN says that these are questions that continue to 
 overshadow and critically challenge the official version of the story. 
 \n\nSome people featured in the documentary include: \n€Michael 
 Ruppert--Publisher, "From the Wilderness"\n€Nafeez Ahmed--Author, "The 
 War on Freedom"\n€David McMichael--Former CIA analyst\n€Michel 
 Chossudovsky--Author: "War and Globalization"\n€Peter Dale Scott--Author: 
 "Drugs, Oil, and War: The United States in Afghanistan, Colombia, and 
 Indochina"\n€Riva Enteen--Executive Director, National Lawyer¹s 
 Guild\n\nSome of the key questions about 9/11 raised in the film:\n€What 
 did the Bush Administration know and when?\n€Why wasn¹t the US military 
 able to intercept the hijacked planes?\n€How did the administration 
 respond to the failures of the military and Intelligence agencies on 
 9/11?\n€What ties, if any, did the US government and Intelligence 
 agencies have with the terrorists or their supporters?\n€Were there plans 
 for a war in central Asia prior to September 11?\n€Is there any 
 historical evidence to suggest that the government may have used the 9/11 
 attacks to justify its war in Central Asia?\n€How has the government¹s 
 reaction to the terrorist attacks affected the rule of law in the United 
 States?\n€How has recent legislation like the PATRIOT ACT and the 
 Homeland Security bill affected the lives of American people?\n€What can 
 we do?\n\nPanelists appearing at The Herbst and Spangenberg:\n€Mike 
 Ruppert who has lectured extensively on 9/11. He is currently finishing a 
 book on the topic entitled "Crossing the Rubicon." \n€Peter Dale Scott 
 whose latest work "Drugs, Oil, and War: The United States in Afghanistan, 
 Colombia, and Indochina" was published on March 28th. \n€National Lawyers 
 Guild President, Riva Enteen, who has been on the forefront defending the 
 attacks on civil rights in this country. \n€Richard Heinberg, author of 
 "The Party¹s Over: Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies" (will 
 only be speaking in Palo Alto).\n€Moderated by Canadian journalist and 
 media critic Barrie Zwicker whose pathbreaking documentary "The Great 
 Deception" raises some of the same questions.\n\nEvent organizer and Palo 
 Alto activist, Carol Brouillet says, "None of these are questions addressed 
 by the official inquiry, and the official whitewash Commission in 
 Washington DC.  9/11 has been used by the Bush Administration to justify 
 its wars throughout the world, and its attack upon the Constitution and the 
 Bill of Rights. AfterMath and the screenings are designed to create a 
 public space for serious questioning of the official narrative of 9/11." 
 \n\nAt 5:30pm at both locations, there will be a reception preceding the 
 7:30pm screening. Public dialogue and press questions will follow. The 
 public is invited to carry on their conversation in the Green Room at the 
 Herbst Theatre.\n\nMike Ruppert bio:\nMike Ruppert, 51, is the 
 Publisher/Editor of From the Wilderness (FTW), a newsletter he founded in 
 March 1998 by mailing out 68 copies to friends and researchers. FTW is now 
 read by more than 4,000 subscribers in 32 countries including 20 members of 
 the US Congress and professors at 15 universities in the US and Canada. 
 Through the newsletter and his web site at http://www.copvcia.com , Mike 
 has pioneered innovative analysis and groundbreaking original stories on 
 the impact of $5-600 billion per year in drug money moving through the US 
 economy and the illegal covert operations which maintain control of that 
 cash flow for US economic interests.\n\nAn Honors graduate of UCLA in 
 Political Science (1973), Mike is a former LAPD narcotics investigator who 
 discovered CIA trafficking in drugs in 1977. After attempting to expose 
 this he was forced out of LAPD in 1978 while earning the highest rating 
 reports possible and having no pending disciplinary actions. In 1996, after 
 18 years of struggle, he finally achieved one of his deepest wishes in a 
 face-to-face public encounter with then CIA Director John Deutch on 
 national TV. Washington sources later told Mike that Deutch¹s mishandling 
 of the encounter cost him a guaranteed appointment as Secretary of 
 Defense.\n\nMike's stories, which have expanded to include economic 
 analysis and detailed exposes of the CIA and the American political system, 
 have been reprinted in 12 countries. Now a popular lecturer on the college 
 circuit, Mike was booked on a post 9/11 lecture series through the summer 
 of 2002. Since November 2001, he has given 21 lectures on "The Truth & Lies 
 of 9/11" in three countries. He is a regular guest on talk radio shows at 
 major stations throughout the country.\n\nIn the wake of the September 11th 
 attacks Mike was among the first to be publicly critical of a number of 
 transparent flaws in the official story presented by the US government. In 
 more than sixty stories since 9/11 he has followed his tested strategy of 
 using only government documents, official statements or verifiable press 
 reports as the basis for his work. As a result he has been openly received 
 by several members of Congress and maintains open lines of communication 
 with congressional and committee staffs.\n\nTICKETS:        \n$7 Seniors &
