[pjw] VIDEO: Norman Solomon talks media complicity with war and more next two weeks on the Video Bus

[Peace and Justice Works]

Hi again PJW supporters
I usually don't like sending two bulk emails on the same day but _we have 
a few more things to send out this weekend_ so here is info about the 
Norman Solomon livestream event, now edited down to two half-hour chunks, 
as it will appear on the Flying Focus weekly cable access show on the 
weeks of 9/18 and 9/25.

If all goes well, we should also have that edited version ready for folks 
to watch on Flying Focus' YouTube page shortly after the run on Open 
Signal/Portland Community Media is over.

Thanks

Norman Solomon talks media complicity with war and more next two weeks on the 
Video Bus

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.

PS: Open Signal/PCM continues to cablecast all programs with "letterboxing" so 
that our shows, created in old-school 4:3 format, appear in the middle of your 
screen. Also, our show is carried on the Comcast's High Definition channel 322 
on Monday evenings, channel 323 on Wednesday nights and channel 331 on Fridays, 
but our shows are not yet produced in HD.
