Norman Solomon: War, Activism and the Media

     Norman Solomon is an author and activist whose latest book, "War Made
     Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of Its Military Machine,"
     was published in June, 2023. That month, he spoke on a livestream
     hosted by Portland area peace groups, focusing on invasion of Iraq, the
     history of de-humanizing those who are on the other end of US bombs,
     the importance of community organizing, and the media's complicit role
     in making war possible.

     While Solomon's talks are always engaging and informative, this one has
     a special spin for Portland area folks, referencing his time here
     working to shut down the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant and other local
     flourishes. Solomon also responded to questions provided by the local
     audience.

     The original event was titled "The Hidden Human Toll of Iraq and Other
     US Wars" and was hosted by Lisa Loving, longtime radio personality on
     KBOO 90.7 FM. It was organized by Peace and Justice Works Iraq Affinity
     Group. The video was gathered by FFVC members Moss Drake and Dan
     Handelman, with this two-part show produced by Handelman for the Video
     Bus.
