DESCRIPTION:Investigative reporter Gareth Porter will discuss the findings of his new 
 book 'Manufactured Crisis: The Untold Story of the Iran Nuclear Scare' 
 (Just World Books, Feb.2014). Based on several years of intensive research, 
 the book shows that many of the claims that western officials make about 
 Iran having long pursued a nuclear weapons program are based on flimsy and 
 in many cases clearly fabricated evidence. These claims have been accepted 
 and parroted with almost no criticism by most of the western mainstream 
 media, which means that most Americans have come to accept them, 
 too.\n\n'Manufactured Crisis' provides a new look at Iran's whole nuclear 
 technology program and the thinking behind it-- including the fact that the 
 country's ruling mullahs have always opposed the development of any weapons 
 of mass destruction, on religious grounds. The book lays out in some detail 
 how the key pieces of the claimed "evidence" that allegedly proves Iran's 
 evil intent were manufactured by sources just as unreliable (and as 
 self-interested) as the infamous "Curveball", whose completely untrue 
 allegations about Iraq were used to jerk the United States into invading 
 that country.\n\nPorter will provide an engaging overview of his book and 
 discuss its key findings with audience members. Copies of the book will be 
 available for sale and signing after the event.\n\nCo-sponsored by Project 
 Censored and the BFUU Social Justice Committee.\nSuggestion donation 
 $5-10\nWheelchair accessible.\n\nFor occasional email notices of
