DESCRIPTION:(5:30pm reception. 7:30pm screening & panel. 9:30pm public dialogue & press 
 questions.)\n\nSundance Award-winning, 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\nhttp://www.deceptiondollar.com/Aftermath.htm\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" .\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. \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 &
