Copies available of Major Rokke Depleted Uranium tape!
The North Seattle Neighbors for Peace and Justice now have access to large quantities of copies of the edited version (30mins) of Major Doug Rokke's speech on Depleted Uranium. We would like to make the video available to teachers who think they could use it in the classroom, and also to anyone who is interested in showing it to neighbors and friends. We only ask for a small contribution of $2.50 to cover mailing costs. (Any additional contribution would go toward our peace work.)
Major Rokke was the Pentagon Depleted Uranium expert and exposes the dangers this weapon poses to our troops and civilians. 159,000 American troops from the Gulf war suffer from Gulf War Syndrome, according to Major Rokke, primarily caused by DU. Eight thousand troops have died since the Gulf War. Cancer rates in bombed areas have multiplied. These facts have been covered up by our government. We would like the public to know about this. Please help us distribute these videos by passing on this information.

OUTFOXED: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism
In the film, "Outfoxed," director/producer Robert Greenwald provides an in-depth look at Murdoch's Fox News and the dangers of ever-enlarging corporations taking control of the airwaves. It explores Murdoch's burgeoning kingdom and the impact on society when a broad swath of media is controlled by one person.
Media experts, including Jeff Cohen (FAIR), Bob McChesney and Chellie Pingree, provide context and guidance for the story of Fox News and its effect on society. The result is an intense examination of Fox News and the lie inherent in its favorite motto "Fair and Balanced."
