“A time comes when silence is betrayal.”
-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Speaking Truth to Power: a permanent state of war is an evening of thoughtful commentary with keynote speakers Gareth Porter, investigative journalist and historian who specializes in US national security policy and Ray McGovern, former US Army Intelligence Officer, 27 year CIA veteran and analyst.
In addition, US veterans Conor Curran, Brock McIntosh, Mike Prysner and Josh Stieber will share their personal stories and perspectives of the true costs of a permanent state of war. Josh Stieber is a veteran of the now infamous Wikileaks “Collateral Murder” company.
There comes a time when the destructive actions and policies of leadership must be verbally confronted by the people they represent. The national security enterprise has succeeded in developing a permanent system that diverts much of the country’s resources to the military/intelligence/security sector. This action undermines and threatens the socio-economic status of our nation.
In order to make intelligent choices and decisions regarding solutions of political power and financial policies that drive our nation, the American people must know the truth. We invite you to be a part of this groundbreaking event that will begin with our keynote speakers and end with a moderated panel discussion, where your questions can be asked and answered by our prestigious panel of guests.
