Elec Car

You are invited to see the true story: “Who Killed the Electric Car?”
A documentary about the destruction of a car that would decrease our dependence on foreign oil

Monday, July 9, 2007 – 7pm
Video at 7pm and discussion following.
Electric cars began to flourish in California in the late 1990s. Then slowly, gradually, they were being picked up and disposed of in the dump. Why were these cars obliterated from the face of the Earth? Who was threatened by them? Who killed the electric car? You may have seen the article in the Sunday Dispatch about a local man who invented a “water car” that had no use of oil — who was intimidated, threatened and finally allegedly poisoned and killed. This type of suppression of any inventions that reduce the U.S. dependence on oil is rampant.Sponsored by the Central Ohio Greens.

International Court of Justice

Peace Palace

I couldn’t help but notice the bizarre Fourth of July editorial in the Columbus Dispatch entitled in part, “. . . Blair well-equipped to be special mideast envoy.” The Dispatch, which has been highly critical of Bush’s illegal and genocidal war against Iraq, gushes over Bush’s “poodle” – as he’s known to the British tabloids. But, former Prime Minister Tony Blair was far more than a poodle. He was a fellow gangster and co-conspirator in a war that violated every principle of Nuremberg and UN Charter. In short, what Blair is uniquely qualified for is prison. Or the gallows.

The Dispatch writes “Blair is trusted by Israelis and Palestinians.” Since it is an editorial, they cite no proof. In reality, Blair is one of the most hated men among Middle East Arabs as well as pan-Islamic forces throughout the region. It’s hard to think of a worse envoy for peace than a man who whole-heartedly endorsed the slaughter of Iraqi people and went along with the deliberate lies and cooking of intelligence that led to the imperialist war and occupation of Iraq.

Blair’s lasting legacy are the Downing Street memos which show that his government knew that Bush and Cheney were liars and war mongers.
