OMNI's Video Underground

Post by Dardedar »

It's worth noting that another local group, OMNI has an event called
"Video Underground," which twice a month shows documentary's that question authority, challenge the
status quo, and in many ways might be considered an arm of Freethinkers defined broadly.

To get on their list, send a request to Dick Bennet at:

Here is a news release regarding their next Book Forum:

Scientists of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predict that
global temperatures will rise by between one and six degrees over the course
of this century unless we act decisively now. . These books give a
devastating picture of what will happen, and they explain what we must do to
prevent it. Today's climate change is not a routine swing of a slow climate
pendulum, but a rapid change, and caused mainly by human industrial
development. But because humans have created it, there is hope humans can
reverse it. Business as usual must be rejected. These books offer the
reality needed to counter the greenwashing, footdragging, evading,
distracting, deceiving, and lying now pervading US corporate and government
announcements and advertisements as the established order clings to its
profitable past. These books also suggest the hope of the future that
conversion to alternatives to fossil fuels can save the planet and give
humans profit too.
