[pjw] VIDEO: How the US and NATO are militarizing the Pacific Rim next two weeks on the Video Bus

IAG supporters
I'll likely be sending a different bulk email later today but wanted to be 
sure to get this info out about the Flying Focus version of our 
presentation from Ann Wright. As mentioned in the email below, much of the 
original version included Col. Wright's image as a tiny "postage stamp" in 
the upper right corner of the screen, but this new version makes it much 
easier to see her even when she's sharing slides.

So even if you watched the original online, consider tuning in (or telling 
your friends to) next week and the week after... you don't have to have 
cable, but you do have to watch the show at the times listed below.

How the US and NATO are militarizing the Pacific Rim next two weeks on the 
Video Bus

Col. Ann Wright, a former Army officer and state department official who 
quit her job in protest of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, spoke on a 
livestream hosted by Peace and Justice Works Iraq Affinity Group in June, 
2022.  In addition to addressing the United States' military shift from 
the "Middle East" to the western Pacific (particularly China and Korea), 
and the ongoing neglect of Hawai'i (the 50th state) and the US military 
bases there, Col. Wright addressed other issues related to US foreign and 
domestic policy. These included Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Israeli 
occupation of the Palestinian territories, the environmental impact of 
militarism, and of course, the US invasion and occupation of Iraq. Chock 
full of facts and a healthy edge of cynical humor, Col. Wright's talk is 
engaging and informative. In part two, she shares a video poem presented 
by indigenous activists opposing the huge military exercise known as 
RIMPAC, Rim of the Pacific.

Flying Focus producer Dan Handelman edited this two-part show together 
from the livestreamed YouTube file and a screen capture of the original 
zoom call, allowing the viewer to see Col. Wright speaking for long 
stretches where on the original livestream she appeared in a tiny corner 
of the screen. A much more complete experience!
