~ There’s a demonstration against Obama’s speech on campus this
Friday. Karen Aram writes, </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>‘Former
President Barack Obama will receive the “Paul H. Douglas Award
for Ethics in Government” from the University of Illinois at
Foellinger Auditorium on the UIUC campus on Friday, September
7th, 11:00 a.m. He will lecture on “authoritarian politics” and
the “responsibilities of citizenship.”<br class="">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>‘In
response and protest, a coalition of local peace and social
justice groups plans to voice criticism of Obama’s policies
and of the appropriateness of this award, beginning at 10:00
a.m. in front (on the north side) of Foellinger.<br class="">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>‘Informed
speakers will address Obama’s war-making policies, especially in
Libya and Syria, as well as his drone assassination program; his
support—even before becoming President—for the bail-out of Wall
Street bankers rather than homeowners, and his continuation of
neoliberal economic policies that continued to devastate working
families throughout his administration; his deportation
policies, which were precedent to those of the current
administration; and his betrayal of campaign promises made to
the labor movement in general and regarding pro-union “card
check” (Employee Free Choice Act) legislation in particular.<br
class="">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>‘Speakers
representing a variety of organizations will have an opportunity
to counter the university administration-promoted propaganda
inherent in this visit, award, and lecture; and to do so in a
truthful and dignified manner that attracts attention to the
popular desire for peace and justice, and away from the cult of
personality that is inherent in such a visit by a primary
representative of American and global ruling elites.’<br
class="">
<br class="">
~ There’s an open AWARE meeting this coming Sunday, 5-6pm - at
Hammerhead Coffee, University Avenue at Wright Street on the NW
edge of the campus.<br class="">
<br class="">
~ Finally, AWARE honors those who reveal the crimes of the US
government - which the rest of the world knows about,
but Americans don't - Manning, Assange, Snowden, and others -
who are truth-tellers persecuted by the US government. -
particularly our 'liberal Democrat' Sen. Durbin, a shill for the
Russiagate propaganda.

~ Now this is Carl Estabrook for members & friends of the
Anti-war Anti-racism Effort of Champaign-Urbana - saying in
the words of the late Edward Murrow, “Good night - and good
luck."
