IRAQ FOR SALE: THE WAR PROFITEERS
Friday Film Series on Reigning Lies
This brand new riveting documentary by Robert Greenwald tells about the human stories, the tradgedies, and the undermining of national security that come with lack of oversight and lack of transparency. Greenwald takes you inside the lives of soldiers, truck drivers, widows, and children who have been changed forever as a result of U.S. profiteering in the reconstruction of Iraq. He exposes the connections between private corporations making a killing in Iraq and the decision makers who allow this to go on. Companies winning the largest, most lucrative government contracts have been consistently among the most politically influential in Washington. They have expended millions of dollars to hire former Pentagon officials, to finance federal campaigns, and to lobby the legislative processes. This insider game will continue for the favored few as long as the public allows it, as long as Congress does not investigate it, and as long as the national news media does not expose it. Only by discourse and illumination will this nation become engaged and enraged and awaken our various official or self-appointed watchdogs. This film is part of the process of getting the word out.
Before and after the films, everyone’s invited to indulge in our Humanist Tea House
