Raising AWAREness film series: Naomi Klein's The Take
Monday, November 14 at 6:00pm
Location: Channing Murray Foundation / 1209 West Oregon / Urbana, Illinois
If you've any interest in today's Occupy movement, please see
this film, Monday at 6, Channing-Murray: "The Take" (Avi Lewis and
Naomi Klein). In the Argentinian economic collapse of the early 2000s,
many productive factories were being closed and scrapped by their
owners. Workers objected - those plants had been built with public
support - and some dared to take over and successfully run those
factories, developing their own working democracy in the process.

Shut Down CIA Recruitment!
Monday, November 14 · 6:30pm
Location: Room 217 Noyes Lab / 505 South Mathews Avenue / Urbana, IL
(Reddish Building on the NE Corner of Quad)
On Monday evening, CIA recruiters will be here on campus recruiting students.
During the Cold War the agency overthrew three elected regimes in Iran
(1953), Guatemala (1954), and Chile (1973). In all of the countries,
right wing dictatorships were installed that used arbitrary
imprisonment, torture, and murder against dissidents. Those regimes
benefitted from long term US support. During the Cold War the CIA also
trained the armed forces and secret police of US-allied dictatorships
such as Honduras in torture techniques.

More recently, the CIA accepted the Bush administration's strategy to
claim the production of weapons of mass destruction and support for Al
Qaeda, without regard for the actual indications of evidence, in order
to allow the US to invade Iraq. We all know what that has cost: the
lives of untold Iraqi civilians and over 4000 US soldiers.

Moreover, since 9/11, the CIA has held alleged terrorists in
indefinite imprisonment, often without any substantial evidence
against them, and always without access to the rights of law, such as
information on the charges and evidence against oneself and the right
to a lawyer. The CIA has tortured many of these untried prisoners and
has transferred them to countries like our old friend Mubarak's Egypt
in order to have them tortured by third party governments.

Come stand with us against all of this brutality, deception, and
oppression. We say, "CIA Stay Out!"

We don't want these unprincipled gangsters on our campus and we don't
want them recruiting young people.

There will also be individual drop in interviews with
recruiters--Tuesday at 1-2:30 PM in the Career Center Resource Room.

Let's fill up those interviews so they don't even know who is a
serious candidate.
