 the Law: \nHigh Crimes of International Financiers\nand the Neoliberal 
 Connection\n\nwith Jane Smith and Niels Hahn\n                              
                              \nToday, we find ourselves in a world where 
 financiers seem to be above justice. \n\nOccupy Bay Area United (OBAU) 
 member Jane Smith will be examining in depth three financial situations: 
 Goldman Sachs vs. Overstock.com, theft from accounts at MFGlobal, and the 
 most recent confiscation from accounts in Cyprus.\n \nJane Smith has been 
 an Occupy activist for over a year with the Ideological Liberation Working 
 Group (ILWG), with a focus on Wall Street. She is trained in mathematics 
 and economics, and and can help with education efforts concerning finance 
 and banking. \n\nAs the current economic crisis deepens, tensions between 
 working people and the wealthy are increasing. Academics, politicians, and 
 civil society groups need to focus on the root causes of the crisis, in 
 order to find solutions to bring about a  more sustainable economic system. 
 \n \nNiels Hahn will provide an introduction to neoliberalism. which some 
 define as a political and economic system that concentrates power and 
 wealth in the hands of a relatively small elite. He will provide 
 suggestions on what he believes the Occupy Movement can do to promote a 
 peaceful transition to a new economic order.\n \nNiels is convening and 
 teaching courses on war, conflict, and development at the University of 
 London with particular focus on international political economy and class 
 struggle. He has previously worked as a non-medical coordinator for 
 Medecines Sans Frontiers/Doctors without Borders (MSF) in countries such as 
 Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Liberia, Somalia, and Sudan/Darfur.\n\n Time will be 
 allotted for Q&A, discussion and announcements.\nTonight, we will save time 
 to talk about affinity groups for upcoming actions. \n2017 Mission at 16th 
 Street, 2nd Floor \n\n(To be buzzed in, wait for screen prompts, then press
