February 10-14, 8PM
THE ADVENTURES OF ALI & ALI AND THE AXES OF EVIL

An inspections free assault on the Newest New World Order and Fundamentalism 
of

all stripes

created and performed by  the award winning team:
Marcus Youssef, Guillermo Verdecchia, Camyar Chai
co-starring Tom Butler
prosthetics by Semi-Colon Powell
afros by Moammar Ghaddaffi

In the midst of Western reoccupation of the Middle East, two improbable 
Middle

Easterners—one blue, the other prone to song and dance—kidnap a Korean and 
occupy

a theatre on the northern edge of Pax Americana. It is here that they must 
find

the Axes of Evil, the so-called Dark aXes of mass destruction, the evil axes 
of

KHalal KHasim KHazam.

Because liberation isn't about casualties or who nails the contract for

prosthetic limbs. No no no, my friends
... it's about the spin.

February 10-14, 2004  8PM (Plus 4PM matinee on Saturday) Vancouver East 
Cultural

Centre (Venables and Victoria)

IMPOSING U.S. IMPIRE BY WAR & BY TRADE

Maritime Labour Centre (111 Victoria Dr.)

Think Iraq – military battles, flak-jackets. Think Canada – business schemes 
for

privatization of public resources.
Now switch. Think Iraq – business schemes for privatization. Think Canada –

schemes to militarize the corporations.
“U.S. empire building by trade and by war” is the theme of a forum organized 
by

STOPWAR.ca.

The two speakers are David Bacon and Steven Staples.
David Bacon is a prominent photo-journalist and labour reporter in 
California. He

is author of the new book Children of NAFTA. Just returned from Iraq, he 
will

speak on the privatization of the Iraqi economy and the response to this of 
the

trade union and workers movement.
Steven Staples, formerly with the Council of Canadians, now director of the

Polaris Institute Project on the Corporate-security state will speak about 
the

militarization of our economy and the policies of the Martin government.
