David Barsamian: Terrorism, Propoganda and US Mideast Policy
Large parts of the Middle East today are engulfed in violence. Why? What historical factors shape the current conflicts? Take Iraq for example, a country in chaos. The U.S. has been intervening in Iraq non-stop for decades. What has it produced? Sectarianism and strife. Death and destruction. Actual U.S. policy in the Middle East is buried in a blizzard of propaganda about democracy and human rights while in practice Washington backs feudal and repressive regimes like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain and the Emirates as well as dictatorships like Egypt. Justification for U.S. military bases, invasions and occupations are cloaked in the garb of altruism and noble intent. It's always been that way for imperial powers. A moronic media never questions Washington's self-professed motives. Thus, most people are ignorant about what is going on. It doesn't have to be that way.
Please join us for a lecture by David, Barsamian, founder and director of the widely syndicated program Alternative Radio, and recipient of the ACLU's Upton Sinclair Award for independent journalism. The lecture will begin at 7 pm and last approximately 40 minutes, followed by 20 minutes of Q & A and concluding at 8 pm. Cosponsored by KUOW and Elliot Bay Books.
