Film Showing:
"Terrorizing Dissent"
June 17th, 6 pm

Venue: The Black Cherry
1420 Cherry St.
Live Music Following Movie

Glass Bead Collective, Twin Cities Indymedia, and other independent media activists have released a new film, 'Terrorizing Dissent', an exposé of events at the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Featuring first-person accounts and footage from more than forty cameras on the streets, 'Terrorizing Dissent' focuses on the story of dissent suppressed. People charged with "conspiracy to riot in furtherance of terrorism" speak out against the government's campaign to manipulate media coverage and label civil disobedience and community organizing as terrorism.

Taking it to the people
The Media Decompression Collective in Toledo, Ohio is part of an international media syndicate originating from the basic need of people for artistic expression that represents our cultures, needs, and struggles. It exists to provoke us to question all philosophies and information before accepting it into the most private aspects of our lives.

The Collective seeks to provide venues for community participation and interaction with independent media. Our non-profit Collective is based on a philosophy of inclusiveness and non-hierarchical organization.

The Obama Deception

Wed., July 22nd, 9 p.m.
The Obama Deception is a hard-hitting film that completely destroys the myth that Barack Obama is working for the best interests of the American people. The Obama phenomenon is a hoax carefully crafted by the captains of the New World Order. It's not about Left or Right: it's about a One World Government.
