HI , Tuesday , May 14, will be Open Conversation. I would like to discuss the Bill Moyers' essay . Please read it, plus the comments. Next week we will have the film American Faust: From Condi to Neo-Condi. /Below is what I wrote up for the publicity to be sent out. If you can't come you can watch this film on youtube in its entirety . > > http://billmoyers.com/2013/05/10/dont-shoot-organize/ The following week: You are invited on May 21, to a showing of the excellent biographical documentary by film producer, Sebastian Doggart: "American Faust: From Condi to Neo-Condi." The film takes us on a roller-coaster ride through the life of Condoleezza Rice from her childhood in Birmingham , AL to her job as National Security Advisor (2001-2005) and Secretary of State under George W. Bush (2005-2009). We see via Counter Terrorism Chief Richard Clarke how she conspired in the fabrication of a link between 9/11 and Saddam Hussein, churning up the case for the war on Iraq . Interviewing White House personnel, historians, biographers, and life long friends, Doggart comes to to realize that Rice's story was a Faustian tragedy of the corrupting impact of power. The film overturns the misconception of Rice as a simple yes-woman and reveals her to be not only President Bush's most enduring confidante, but, also, his own personal Torquemada. It also shows the connection between her mindset and participation as one of the White House Principals who decided to mete out specific abuse and torture to prisoners and the agony of the men who had to endure that torture. Doggart digs deep for his documentary, a straight investigative film that would come to be called “American Faust: From Condi to Neo-Condi.” See this film at Mad Hatter's Tea/Coffee House on Tuesday, May 21 at 6:30 PM. Mad Hatter's is at 943 W. 7th Street , St Paul . Call 651-227-3228 for information. The film can also be viewed on YouTube here. Thanks, Patty > > > > No more hurting people----PEACE > Martin Richard >
