http://impeachforpeace.org/impeach_bush_blog/?p=5538</a> Amongst the
articles of Impeachment that Kucinich introduced in June 3 included 9/11
issues. Hearings will hopefully force the media to begin to cover the
important suppressed facts and information, and begin some process of
accountability, at least slow them down on their present course.<br><br>

#2) Northern California 9/11 Truth Alliance
Retreat/Celebration/Organizing for September, Sunday, July 27, 2008<br>
Noon- 8pm<br>
(Serious Discussion/Decision making 3pm - 6 pm)<br><br>
Last year we held a Retreat to plan our August/September events at my
home (in Palo Alto). It was a fun/productive gathering and our subsequent
events were a success. We are still trying to figure out what to do
precisely for this August/September 11th at the Grand Lake Theater. If
you would like to come to the retreat and help with the upcoming events
& newsletter... I hope you can join us next Sunday, July 27th at my
house. I plan on making food (but some people want me to spend more time
facilitating and participating in the discussion- so if we turn it into a
potluck, I might have more time to be part of the circle). This will also
be a chance for me to celebrate with friends the good news that the
biopsy results show the cysts in my pancreas are benign. Call, or email
to RSVP and get directions to my house. 650-857-0927, cbrouillet@igc.org
Carol AND, If you want to help, but can't come next Sunday- please let us
know what you can do, and any of your ideas/suggestions. <br>

<b>#3)</b> Film Premiere- The Reflecting Pool<br>
August 4, 2008, 7 PM<br>
Pacific Film Archive<br>
2575 Bancroft Way<br>
Berkeley, CA<br>
(510) 642-1412<br><br>
The Reflecting Pool follows an investigation by a skeptical
Russian-American journalist who teams up with the father of a 9/11 victim
to fact check the official version of the tragedy as documented in the
9/11 Commission Report. As they examine evidence and interview key
eyewitnesses, the official story begins to crumble. The Reflecting Pool
is the first investigative drama to present this issue in the spirit of
such films as All the President's Men and JFK. <br>
The film illustrates that, as so often is the case, the truth does not
set you free; it ties your stomach and conscience into knots. It will
remind you of All the President's Men and JFK, films that also used drama
to pursue political truths. Writer/Director Jarek Kupsc plays Alex
Prokop, a successful journalist who receives a mysterious 9/11 videotape
revealing new information on the attack. Joseph Culp appears as Paul
Cooper, the man who sent the tape and a driven researcher whose daughter
died on 9/11. Though skeptical of conspiracy theorists and fearful that
it will jeopardize his career, Prokop agrees to take on the story.
<br><br>
We follow Prokop and Cooper as they investigate the destruction of
evidence from Ground Zero, the collapse of the 47-story WTC Building
Seven, and the airliner attack on the Pentagon. The results of their
investigation suggest the official version as presented in the 9/11
Commission Report purposely ignored or omitted evidence and testimonies
to protect people in political positions, including the present
administration. Prokop, plagued by the ghosts of his Communist childhood
and trying to uphold the independence of American journalism, struggles
to come to grips with this awful truth. <br><br>
The Reflecting Pool is an intense, sobering analysis of the most
controversial tragedy of our time -- a thought-provoking study of a
search for truth and the profound consequences of not looking for it any
further than the nightly news. <br><br>
Selected reviews<br><br>
<br>
"The Reflecting Pool presents a story that I have not taken the time
or courage to touch."<br>
--Barbara Trent, Academy Award Winner, The Panama Deception <br>
"The film illustrates that, as so often is the case, the truth does
not set you free; it ties your stomach and conscience into knots. It will
remind you of All the President's Men and JFK, films that also used drama
to pursue political truths."<br>
--Joel Hirschhorn, Op-ed news <br><br>
"The script is top-notch, the characterizations moving. If the film
has a flaw, it's in trying to document so much evidence in a narrative
thriller. Yet by and large, it pulls it off to deliver a chilling and
effective message -- maybe it can happen here."<br>
--Jim Cirile, Screenwriters Magazine <br><br>
About The Reflecting Pool:<br><br>
<br>
The Reflecting Pool premiered theatrically through American Cinematheque
to a standing-room only audience on January 31, 2008, at the Aero Theatre
in Santa Monica, CA. The film screened in limited runs in February and
March in Los Angeles, San Luis Obispo, and continues with other selected
screenings. The film is an official selection this summer at the Maine
International Film Festival in July and the Moondance International Film
Festival in August. The film was recently picked up by Rialto Theaters in
New Zealand for this September. <br>
About the filmmakers:<br><br>
<br>
The Reflecting Pool was independently produced and financed by Baltazar
Works with Jodie Baltazar and Joseph Culp serving as producers. The
Reflecting Pool is director Jarek Kupsc's third feature film. He won
multiple awards for his debut feature Recoil and won Best Picture for
Slumberland in his native Poland. Kupsc gives his view: "Most of all
we wanted to tell a human story about what happens to people when the
truth is kept from them and show the struggle one must go through for
their own sense of integrity." He continues, "September 11th,
2001, was a defining moment in modern history--an event that propelled
America toward preemptive wars under false pretenses resulting in the
deaths of over a million civilians in the Middle East, thousands of
American troops, and a complete disregard for the Geneva Conventions not
to mention the Bill of Rights." Culp says, The Reflecting Pool is a
way of taking stock of what has happened to our country after 9/11 and to
do the most American thing of all--ask questions and demand honest
answers." <br>

Since October 2001, every Wednesday, except when it is raining; I have
set up tables, banners, chairs, food, educational material, and created a
space for public dialogue on key issues. Beginning in November 2007, I am
doing this on a monthly basis, on the 11th of every month. We ask the
public three questions and write down their responses- <br>
What do you think/feel about the events of September 11th and the U.S.
government's response? <br><br>
How could we defuse terrorism?" <br><br>
How could we create a safer/better world for our children and all
children? <br><br>

7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.<br><br>
Directions-<br>
From Hwy. 580 East (coming from the Bay Bridge or Berkeley), take the
Grand Ave./Lakeshore exit (start getting over to the on your way past the
Broadway-Webster exit - it's tricky - and move right again when
approaching the next exit, Harrison/Oakland, but don't get in that exit
lane). The exit ramp merges into MacArthur which intersects with Grand at
the light. Make a left at the light onto Grand, make a right onto Lake
Park Ave. (the Grand Lake Theater will be on the corner on your far right
before you turn). Go about a block, past the BofA, which will be on your
left, and the GLNC will also be on your left. Park on the street or turn
right into free public parking under the freeway. <br>
From Hwy. 580 West (coming from Hayward), take the Lakeshore Ave. exit.
When you exit at Lakshore Ave., you will be on Lake Park. Go straight at
the light (you'll see a Busy Body Home Fitness store in front of you to
the right), crossing Lakeshore Ave. The GLNC will be a few storefronts
down on your right. Park on the street or turn left into free public
parking under the freeway across from GLNC. If you cross Grand Ave. (and
the theater) you've gone too far. <br><br>
Buses (check schedules):<br>
The 57 Macarthur, to Kaiser hospital, 40th and the Emeryville shopping
district.<br>
The NL, via Grand to downtown Oakland and San Francisco<br><br>
