SUMMARY:Coming Wars with Venezuela\, Iran\, Russia and China
DESCRIPTION:Dan Kovalik is a human rights and labor lawyer\, and his new book makes the case that the Trump/Russia scandal is a dangerous diversion that leads some progressives to agitate for war with Russia. Kovalik’s book offers history and context for the current scene and the “blame Russia” memes promoted by  the media\, based on anonymous leaks and unseen intelligence. From Vietnam to Iran/Contra\, the Iraq war and intervention in Libya\, false intelligence and spin have been used to justify illegal actions. \nKovalik notes that people–who marched against Bush’s wars–are now stoking efforts to limit Trump’s options with Russia\, and some are calling for war in response to unproven claims of cyber attacks. \nThe demonetization of Russia includes a new McCarthyism\, and PBC relates how a recent interviewer casually smeared NSA whistle blower Bill Binney as a Russian sympathizer\, because Binney argues that the breach of DNC servers was an insider leak\, not an outsider hack. \nNear the end of the interview\, Kovalik comments on the situation in Venezuela.  He will be in Caracas for the July 30 election\, and will report on it . \nForeign Policy  Domestic Political policy

SUMMARY:Potluck and Movie:  An Endless War: Getting Out of Afghanistan
DESCRIPTION:Potluck at 6 PM\, movie at 7 PM.  Come for either or both!\nOn October 7\,  2001\, The United States embarked on its longest war ever by invading Afghanistan. In addition to Afghanistan\, the 2001 Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMF) has been used by the Bush\, Obama\, and Trump administrations to justify military operations in 18 countries\, including Somalia\, Libya\, Syria\, and Yemen.\nAfter over 18 years of endless war\, it is time for Congress to repeal the 2001 AUMF and hold a public debate on how these wars serve the American people and how they impact global stability and security.\n\nTo view the trailer and learn more\, go to https://endlesswar.org/film/\n\nFOR MORE INFORMATION ON HOW YOU CAN TAKE ACTION TO REPEAL THE 2001 AUMF GO TO:   FCNL.ORG/ENDLESSWAR\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere will be discussion after the movie and and an opportunity to write letters to our Senators and Representatives requesting their support for repeal.
