CAFTA- The Trojan Calf
**Please forward**
Dear friends,
Never thought international trade laws would make you laugh? Check this out:
www.quixote.org/calf
It's a biting, two-minute movie called "CAFTA -- The Trojan Calf." Its
message -- that the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) has been
presented to Central America as a gift, but like the Trojan Horse, it's
really a vehicle for American corporations to secretly invade new markets.
It's an important story that will keep you smiling, and hopefully inspire
you to action. (Make sure you watch for the kicker at the end!)
After watching the movie you can join with thousands of others in
rejecting CAFTA by signing a full-page ad to appear in the NY Times the
first of June. Congress may vote on the agreement as early as July.
We hope you like the movie, and we encourage you to pass it along to your
family and friends.

'Social Doings'
At the juncture of recent (re)writings of histories of artists' collective initiatives in Scotland, you are invited to participate in a discussion to traverse & reconnect the forgotten or vacated landscapes
of artist-run -led, DIY, self-organised cultural activity... and to explore what it might conceive of.
A drift through various social relations... a space for encounter, exchange and debate.
Loose & informal primers for this groping search, from John Beagles & Leigh French.

“Breaking the Silence: Truth and Lies in the War on Terror”
In this film award-winning journalist John Pilger investigates the discrepancies between American and British claims for the ‘war on terror’ and the facts on the ground as he found them in Afghanistan and Washington, DC.
As the bombs began to drop in 2001, George W. Bush promised Afghanistan “the generosity of America and its allies.” Now, according to Pilger, the familiar tribal warlords are regaining power, religious fundamentalism is renewing its grip and military skirmishes continue routinely. In Afghanistan today, America has a strategic military base and pipeline access to critical future oil reserves, while the people have the warlords who are, says one Afghani woman, “in many ways worse than the Taliban.”
Reporting from the field after the US attacks on Afghanistan, Pilger describes the country as “more devastated than anything I have seen since Pol Pot's Cambodia.” He finds that Al-Qaida has not been defeated and that the Taliban is re-emerging.
“Breaking the Silence” also features Pilger conducting a series of interviews in Washington D.C., with William Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard, and leading Administration officials such as Douglas Feith, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, and John Bolton, Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security. These people, and the other architects of the war on terrorism and current U.S. foreign policy were dismissed as ‘the crazies’ by the first Bush Administration in the early 1990s when they first presented their ideas for pre-emptive strikes and world domination.
Pilger also interviews General Wesley Clark and former intelligence officers and raises searching questions about the real motives for the ‘war on terror.’
"Breaking the Silence” portrays the human consequences of our military attacks on Middle East countries. It provides the viewer with important insights into the reasons for these cruelties, exposing the emptiness and hypocrisy of a foreign policy that claims to be fighting ‘terrorism’ and promoting ‘freedom.’ Pilger’s tough-minded humanism and uncompromising journalism results in a powerful expose of actions undertaken by George W. Bush and Tony Blair. The film makes a significant contribution in the effort to develop news media and political priorities that protect human life instead of destroying it.

CAFTA- The Trojan Calf
**Please forward**
Dear friends,
Never thought international trade laws would make you laugh? Check this out:
www.quixote.org/calf
It's a biting, two-minute movie called "CAFTA -- The Trojan Calf." Its
message -- that the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) has been
presented to Central America as a gift, but like the Trojan Horse, it's
really a vehicle for American corporations to secretly invade new markets.
It's an important story that will keep you smiling, and hopefully inspire
you to action. (Make sure you watch for the kicker at the end!)
After watching the movie you can join with thousands of others in
rejecting CAFTA by signing a full-page ad to appear in the NY Times the
first of June. Congress may vote on the agreement as early as July.
We hope you like the movie, and we encourage you to pass it along to your
family and friends.

Street Performer Weekly Gig with SAFE
SAFE (Society for Artistic Freedom and Expression) will have regular weekly Sing Outs on the Sidewalk in front of New Leaf Market 6pm every Wednesday evening.
SAFE calls for the restoration of the Voluntary Street Performers Guidelines and the end to onerous restrictions on peformers downtown.
One local Downtown Ordinance dictates the 10' forbidden zones limiting performers to less than 20% of downtown sidewalks. Another literally excludes them from narrower sidewalks in other business districts. Another is the "Move Along Law" which mandates criminal penalties for not "moving along" every hour.
Bring your instrument or just your ears. Bring a friend.
Hot soup by Joe Schultz.
Take back our public spaces from some creeping privatization, favored by a segment of the merchants.
We also share information on recent police and "host" harassment of performers.

In front of downtown New Leaf Market at Pacific and Lincoln Aves. between the Cafe Campesino and Alfresco's kiosks.
Cost: Free, but bring quarters and scraps to throw to performers!

This is a village that has been built to serve and care for the children in Vietnam who are being born with severe deformities because of the agent orange left in the environment there by our military during the war.

The mexican style dinner starts at 7PM and will be followed by a slide show and information updating life at the village, presented by Carl Stancil, a member of Veterans for Peace and the Bill Motto Post.
This is an opportunity to help heal the wounds of a horrific war waged in our names.
