SUMMARY:Demonstration against George W. Bush
DESCRIPTION:George W. Bush will be honored at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Moral Courage Award Dinner at the Hilton Americas-Houston hotel\, 1600 Lamar St.\, on Thursday\, May 24. Bush should be imprisoned for life for war crimes and crimes against humanity–not honored for moral courage.\n\n\nAs Governor of Texas\, Bush approved more than 150 executions. As President\, his invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 led to the deaths of over 250\,000 people. His invasion of Iraq in 2003 led to the deaths of more than one million people. And U.S. troops remain in both countries today. \nThe Bush administration tortured and abused prisoners in these countries\, in Guantanomo Bay\, and in secret sites around the world. Bush promoted passage of the PATRIOT Act\, which increased unconstitutional surveillance and reduced civil liberties. Bush’s neglect during Hurricane Katrina contributed to the suffering and deaths of hundreds of poor people\, predominantly African Americans\, in New Orleans. As one commentator has remarked\, “The blood on Bush’s hands will never dry.” \nA protest against Bush and will be held outside the Hilton Americas-Houston hotel\, 1600 Lamar St.\, on Thursday\, May 24\, from 5 pm until 9 pm. Please join us in condemning Bush’s actions as president and any efforts to whitewash these actions. This action is being organized by Houston Socialist Movement\, Party for Socialism and Liberation\, Workers World Party\, Young Communist League\, and other organizations (list in formation). For more information\, call 832.692.2306. \n\n

SUMMARY:Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper - Facts and Fears: Hard Truths from a Life in Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:*A copy of DNI James Clapper’s book Facts and Fears is included in the cost of every ticket.* \n*If possible\, please register in advance as this event may reach capacity.* \nWhen he stepped down in January 2017 as the fourth United States director of national intelligence\, James Clapper had been President Obama’s senior intelligence adviser for six and a half years\, longer than his three predecessors combined. He led the U.S. intelligence community through a period that included the raid on Osama bin Laden\, the Benghazi attack\, the leaks of Edward Snowden\, and Russia’s influence operation during the 2016 U.S. election campaign. \nIn Facts and Fears: Hard Truths from a Life in Intelligence\, Clapper traces his career through the growing threat of cyberattacks\, his relationships with presidents and Congress\, and the truth about Russia’s role in the presidential election. He describes\, in the wake of Snowden and WikiLeaks\, his efforts to make intelligence more transparent and to push back against the suspicion that Americans’ private lives are subject to surveillance. \nFinally\, it was living through Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and seeing how the foundations of American democracy were–and continue to be–undermined by a foreign power that led him to break with his instincts honed through more than five decades in the intelligence profession to share his inside experience. Facts and Fears offers a privileged look inside the U.S. intelligence community and\, with the frankness and professionalism for which James Clapper is known\, addresses some of the most difficult challenges in our nation’s history. \nJames Clapper served as the fourth United States Director of National Intelligence–the United States’ top intelligence officer and President Obama’s senior intelligence advisor–from 2010 until 2017. Beginning his career as an enlisted Marine Corps reservist in 1961\, Clapper eventually became a three-star Air Force lieutenant general and director of the Defense Intelligence Agency\, retiring from uniformed service in 1995. In 2001 he returned to service\, becoming the first civilian director of the National Imaging and Mapping Agency just three days after 9/11. In 2007 he was appointed the Pentagon’s top intelligence official\, serving as an appointee for both the Bush and Obama administrations before President Obama appointed him as DNI. \nFor a video of Director Clapper testifying before the U.S. Senate about Russian interference in the 2016 election and how the U.S. should respond\, please click HERE. \nEvery ticket for this event includes a copy of James Clapper’s book Facts and Fears: Hard Truths from a Life in Intelligence which will be given to each attendee at the event. \nThis event is co-hosted with Brazos Bookstore
