The DuPage Peace through Justice Coalition
invites you to...
JUST VIEWS: a Free &
Open
Monthly Video/ Discussion Program
 |
Fri April 13, 7:20 pm, 2007 -- The Power of Nightmares
Tonight’s program examines the rise of the
"politics of fear". The idea that the
USA and other developed nations are being threatened by networks
of hidden terrorists was called an illusion by BBC producers in 2004.
Their documentary,
The Power of Nightmares, explores how two
groups, neo-conservatives inspired by
Leo Strauss and radical Islamists like Osama Bin Laden, have
helped to create this persisting potent fantasy. And how since the
1940s, from Joe McCarthy onward through the Cold War with the
USSR, certain politicians have been using fear of imagined
threats to gather and wield power. We’ll test these notions, and discuss
coping.
These 2nd Friday evening Just Views programs start at 7:20 pm, are
sponsored by the DuPage Peace through Justice Coalition and held at the
Unitarian Church in Naperville IL at 4 S 535 Old Naperville Road
(630/505-9408). Directions: Go (south of Route 88) to the corner of
Naperville Road and Diehl. Proceed one block east along Diehl, then turn
left/north. Enter the Unitarian Church ahead on your right.
Just Views (JV) shows great films on the big screen about vital
peace-and-justice issues on 2nd Fridays monthly for free!
College and HS students are urged to join the adult public. View and then
share views from various vantages with citizens and invited resource
persons. Each night is a stimulating, informal, stand-alone experience. Give
suggestions to JV Director sociologist Stephanie Hughes 630/420-4233. Mark
