DESCRIPTION:Investigative journalist Eduardo Cohen will discuss the hidden agenda 
 moving U.S. foreign policy – corporate control of Middle East oil and the 
 growth of the military-industrial complex – and how the government 
 manipulates information to keep that agenda hidden and get public opinion 
 behind the war of the moment.  The consequence of this agenda is that Iraq 
 is only the beginning for the doctrine of preventive invasions; in order to 
 sustain the oil and arms industries, the U.S. government must continue its 
 series of military conflicts wherever it finds a pretext to do 
 so.\n\nCohen’s sharp questioning of U.S. foreign policy began when, after 
 serving for two months in a combat unit in Vietnam, Cohen was assigned to 
 the Press Information Office, where he refused orders to fabricate stories 
 for the media.  Later, he was one of the first journalists to uncover U.S. 
 plans for the invasion of Grenada and exposed the CIA creation and training 
 of the Nicaraguan contras.  For seven years he was host of the popular 
 “The Other Americas” radio program on KPFA.  He now lives and works in 
 Sacramento as a freelance writer, media relations consultant, and 
 lecturer.\n\nThe program will also be broadcast live on Community Cable 
 Channel 28 as part of the Other Voices television series.\n\nAdmission is 
 free.\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2004/02/03/19363.php
