The Information Project is a non-profit organization created in response to 9/11. In the belief that "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself," our goal is to provide the media, the public and critical decision makers with factual information on terrorism. Our database currently contains information on over 4,000 terrorist organizations. While only a small percentage of our data is currently available on-line, we hope to continue to expand and refine our capabilities in 2005. It is our hope that our 2004 fund raising efforts and generous public support will help to make this possible.

BREAD AND PUPPET

Bread & Puppet is Here!!!
The most wonderful participatory artistic experience in the entire universe beckons you.

BREAD AND PUPPET THEATER'S
FIRST WORLD INSURRECTION IN CAMBRIDGE

A POST-ELECTION RUCKUS PLAYED OUT FROM NOVEMBER 4-21

(Cambridge, MA) The Bread and Puppet Theater presents the First World Insurrection, a post-election ruckus played out in Cambridge, November 4-21. Performances and Symposium held at the Cambridge Family YMCA Theatre / Durrell Hall, 820 Massachusetts Avenue, Central Square, and Art Exhibit installed at the Marran Gallery, Lesley University, Main Quad on Mellen St. (off Mass. Ave.), between Harvard and Porter Squares. Both venues are wheelchair accessible. For advance tickets, on sale from October 18th on, and information on all events call the Cambridge Family
YMCA (www.cambymca.org) at 617-661-9622, extension 706.

Artistic Director Peter Schumann and his band of eight Vermont puppeteers will join forces with 20 local puppeteers and the Cambridge-based Second Line Social Aid and Pleasure Society Brass Band. Their residency in Cambridge includes three puppet shows (a double-bill geared towards adults and one "family-friendly" show), a "Now What" political art symposium, and an exhibit showcasing Schumann's visual artwork. Each of these opportunities will include the traditional serving of Schumann's famous sourdough rye bread (baked in a temporary outdoor oven in the YMCA parking lot), drizzled with garlic-laden aioli, and the sale of the theater's "cheap art." In November, the city of Cambridge will indeed be the stage upon which much artistic discontent is set - with a few laughs thrown in!

Double Bill of Evening Shows:
WORLD ON FIRE and HOW TO TURN DISTRESS INTO SUCCESS: a Parable of War and Its Making November 4-14, Thurs.-Sun., 8pm (first week); Wed.-Sun., 8pm (second week) $10 general admission for both shows [groups of 10 or more $8]; held at the Cambridge Family YMCA

November 9-21, gallery hours, 9am-8 pm daily; opening reception and artist's talk, Tuesday, November 9, 4-7pm free and open to all; held at the Marran Gallery, Lesley University

Featuring the Bread and Puppet Theater's signature masked characters and giant papier-mache puppets, the individual shows and art exhibit are described below.

WORLD ON FIRE
A group of National Emergency Clowns demonstrates official reactions to the ultimate emergency. The music is by the Asymmetric Prisoner-of-War Orchestra, consisting of local volunteer performers, and their conductor, the Fire Chief.
HOW TO TURN DISTRESS INTO SUCCESS: A Parable of War and Its Making
With the help of the National More-More-More Society, the Student of Success is taught a lesson: how the transformation of distress into success transforms success. The Population is a child in the arms of Truth. But Truth gets employed by the Executive to ready the Population for war. War is learned in a butcher's shop. The dance of the Collateral Damage Dancers concludes the lesson. The puppets are from cardboard; the music is live and includes an ancient Georgian chant.
UPSIDE DOWN WORLD CIRCUS
The circus features upside-down figures, a group of First World representatives trained by a lion, Thomas Jefferson and his patriotic cheerleaders, Gerrard Winstanley and his band of Diggers, the Rotten Idea Theater Company's distillation of political issues and much more, all accompanied by the B&P Circus Band. Political fun for the whole family!
THE U.S. SENATE READS AN EMAIL BY THE LATE RACHEL CORRIE TO HER PARENTS
Peter Schumann dedicates this installation to Rachel Corrie who died at the age of 23 in Palestine in 2003 as she tried to stop a bulldozer from destroying a Palestinian home. Her email is dated February 27, 2003.

(Background of the theater) The Bread and Puppet Theater was founded in 1963 on New York City's Lower Eastside by 70-year old Silesian-born sculptor and choreographer, Peter Schumann. In 1969 a nine-month tour of Europe won recognition and critical acclaim for Bread and Puppet. In 1970, the Theater moved to Vermont as theater-in-residence at Goddard College, letting itself be influenced by living in the countryside. Four years later the Theater moved to a farm in Glover in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, where a 100-year-old hay barn was transformed into a museum for veteran puppets. Bread and Puppet Theater does massive spectacles in the U.S., Europe and Latin America. Their pageants have a broad theme-oriented appeal to large non-elite audiences. They address social, political and environmental issues or simply the common urgencies of our lives. Some of the awards received by Peter Schumann and Bread and Puppet are the Obie Award, the Erasmus Award from Amsterdam, the Vermont Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts, UNIMA-USA's Citation of Excellence and the Puppeteers of America President's Award. Bread and Puppet is one of the oldest non-profit, self-supporting theater companies in the United States.

EXPOSICIÓ BOTÀNICA PSICOACTIVA

XERRADA-COL·LOQUI: "DROGAS PROHIBIDAS DEL NUEVO MILENIO".
À CARREC DE "CARLOS GULÍAS" DE LA "SECRETARÍA" DEL A.L.A.


Exposició Botànica Psicoactiva (AVANTPROJECTE)


El projecte d´exposició LES PLANTES MAGIQUES es presenta com una iniciativa de cultura científica en el sentit més modern
de la paraula. Es tracta de reunir en espai ben determinat i únic, AL k.O.L.P. “LA FERA” de Barcelona, una mostra
botànica d´aquelles plantes i espècies vegetals diverses com els fongs que des de Dioscòrides s´han classificat com a plantes
psicoactives. Son les plantes remeieres de tota la vida i de totes les cultures que hi ha i han hagut al mon.
Plantes medicinals o d' us chamànic, religiós o festiu des d´una perspectiva etnobotànica que, evidentment, no coincideix amb
moltes de les idees confuses que hi ha sobre aquests temes fruit de la ignorància i de la manipulació dels agents de l´anomanada
"guerra contra les drogues".
Aquesta desinformació obliga a que dins l´Exposicio LES PLANTES MAGIQUES hi entri també un espai dedicat a informar al
visitant sobre l´existència d´un moviment internacional anti-prohibicionista del que l´Associació Lliure Antiprohibicionista (A.L.A.)
n' es l´expressió ibèrica en el marc d' Europa.

Grup de Suport MADRES DE PLAZA DE MAYO a Lleida

Xerrada Dissabte dia 20 a L'OCELL NEGRE

LES ‘MADRES DE LA PLAZA DE MAYO’, 27 anys denunciant el silenci

L’any 1976, el general Videla es fa amb el control d’Argentina després
d’un cop d’estat militar que desencadena la mort de milers de persones.
Durant la repressió contra els moviments d’esquerra, l’Armada argentina fa
desaparèixer clandestinament milers de joves, ocasionant el conseqüent
neguit entre familiars i amics que desconeixen cap informació sobre els
seus companys.
Es així com l’any 1977 un grup de mares dels desapareguts comencen a
reunir-se espontàniament a la Plaza de Mayo, situada al costat de la Casa
Rosada, seu del govern argentí, per a denunciar la manca d’informació
sobre els fets i per a reivindicar la memòria i ideals dels seus fills.
Les ‘Madres de la Plaza de Mayo’ anaren creixent en nombre i en
conscienciació, de manera que progressivament foren elles qui prengueren
el relleu als seus fills en la denúncia de les injustícies socials
argentines.


Gairebé 30 anys més tard el moviment continua viu i mitjançant el Grup de
Suport de Barcelona a les ‘Madres de la Plaza de Mayo’, faran sentir la
seva veu a Lleida.

La xerrada es realitzarà el proper dissabte, dia 20, a les 19:00 h, a la

Roads and Airports - Gathering

More traffic growth?  More roads?  Airport Expansion?
You must be choking!
It's time to take action.

Labour are backsliding on the victories of the 1990's roads protests, and many road schemes, dropped in the 1990s, are back on the road builder's agenda. Meanwhile the Government is also proposing large-scale airport expansion… and all in the same breath as talking about tackling climate change.

This backslide CAN and WILL be stopped by PEOPLE POWER.
We need to ORGANISE NOW!

- Come to discuss ideas for action and strategy,
- get an idea of the threat and what is planned where,
- network with other campaigners, build alliances.

19th November, from 6pm: introductions
20th November: Roads discussion and action planning day
21st November: Airports discussion and action planning day
21st November from 3pm:  Feedback session for both days

It is essential to book so that we have an idea of numbers for catering and accommodation purposes.  Basic crash space accommodation and vegan food will be available.

Please call: 0845 345 1998 or email gathering-AT-roadalert.org.uk to book a place, or see www.roadalert.org.uk. Please network this event! thanks

The Rochester Premiere of HOWARD ZINN: YOU CAN’T BE NEUTRAL ON A MOVING TRAIN
(Deb Ellis and Denis Mueller, US 2003, 78 min.) Matt Damon narrates this

the consciousness of a generation.”

The Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC) is a statewide, immigrant and refugee-led collaboration whose mission is to empower immigrants and refugees throughout Tennessee to develop a unified voice, defend their rights, and create an atmosphere in which they are viewed as positive contributors to the state.



In 2003, the TIRRC Founding Convention was the largest immigrant rights gathering in Tennessee history. Immigrant and refugee leaders participated from all parts of the state, representing nationalities from across the globe. Gather with us once again to discuss the issues impacting Tennessee immigrant and refugee communities and develop a plan of action. Then join us afterwards to celebrate Tennessee's diverse ethnic traditions and cuisines at the
Cultural Celebration!
