Current Events and Peace and Justice Summary (Three Short Videos)

GLNAWI is working to finalize the details of a teach-in event aiming to be hosted at Michigan State University for March 18th, 2007 from 2-5pm (please see GLNAWI.org as the details of this event materialize). One of the featured speakers at the event is Dr. Dahlia Wasfi M.D. who is a speaker with Global Exchange. The YouTube link below shows her speaking at a congressional hearing in a forum on the subject of US troops in Iraq. Dr. Wasfi makes an impassioned and powerful argument to Bring the Troops Home Now.

Amnesty International continues its support for human rights and fight against the United States recent stripping of the right of habeas corpus through the passage of the Military Commissions Act of 2006. The link below takes you to the Amnesty website with a video of congressional testimony by U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales where he quite clearly contradicts both his own statements and more importantly the U.S. Constitution. It is important to add that Mr. Gonzales, President Bush, and all the members of Congress that voted in favor of the Military Commissions act have taken oaths to uphold the Constitution prior to their support for this tragic bill.

Also visit the GLNAWI website for a position statement about the Military Commissions Act and stay tuned for public actions in protest of the Bush Administration condoned torture.

Finally, there is a new project underway to expose the bias and destructive propaganda that defines Fox New Corporation. While there is still a large portion of the U.S. falling victim to the Fox New Corporation media empire's propaganda, there are many who are working to expose what is an obvious bias and bring down their primary marketing myth of "fair and balanced." The project is starting with a short montage film that highlights what has already been erroneous and slanted coverage of U.S. Senator and Presidential hopeful Barak Obama. From the makers of BraveNew Films who has created such indispensable documentaries as Out Foxed: Rupert Murdock’s War on Journalism, and Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers, comes Fox Attacks. Check out the brief, yet telling film here:
