While many may view offensive weapons as belligerent and immoral, ballistic missile defense (BMD) systems are often viewed as protective and, even, moral. This webinar will address misconceptions about BMD and seek to show why such systems can be considered belligerent in their own right. This webinar will address the history of BMD; its role in nuclear strategy; its cost and effectiveness; and its role in escalating tensions in Ukraine and in outer space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, the role of defense contractors, like Raytheon, in developing these technologies will be discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speakers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Richard Krushnic<\/strong>&nbsp;writes about military corporate influence over U.S. foreign policy, the Ukraine War and Raytheon Technologies.

Three films will hold their US premieres, including two presentations originally given at the Grand Lake Theatre. The Film Festival is dedicated to the memory of David Ray Griffin, Graeme MacQueen and Allan Rees, great champions for 9\/11 Truth who have passed away, since last year\u2019s film festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Mysterious Collapse of WTC 7\u201d[ See&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZdFwhlmiPNE\">Trailer<\/a>] is based upon a book and lecture by the late David Ray Griffin. The subtitle is &#8220;Why the final official report about 9\/11 is unscientific and false.&#8221; Griffin was a renowned theologian and scholar and one of the most influential intellectuals of his era. Author of over 50 books, nominated twice for the Nobel Peace Prize, compared to Martin Luther King and Gandhi for his courage and dedication to seeking truth, his voice was notably censored when he began turning his attention to the shadow side of the American Empire. He wrote a large number of books on the subject and delivered this particular lecture in 2009.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWar on Democracy\u201d features a 2016 presentation by Canadian Graeme MacQueen, who received his Ph.D. from Harvard, and taught at McMaster University for 30 years. He lead their Peace Studies program and co-directed peace-building projects in Sri Lanka, Gaza, Croatia, and Afghanistan. He was an editor for the Journal of 9\/11 Studies, a major organizer of the Toronto Hearings held on the 10 year anniversary of 9\/11. He authored several books, including \u201cThe 2001 Anthrax Deception: The Case for a Domestic Conspiracy\u201d which he addresses in the film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeace, War, and 9\/11\u201d also features Graeme MacQueen, but encompasses a larger, deeper understanding of wars, peace, and the forces that steer the public mind. The film will also premiere in Toronto a few days before the film festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c9\/11: High Crime to Courtroom\u201d is a work in progress, spearheaded by Richard Gage, AIA, founder of Architects and Engineers for 9\/11 Truth. Richard Gage will also be doing public presentations in the Bay Area on his West Coast Tour this September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more info see:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indybay.org\/newsitems\/2023\/09\/02\/18858711.php\">19th Annual 9\/11 Truth Film Festival : Indybay<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wednesday, September 13<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11.
