[van-announce] Sun April 27: Selling of National Insecurities

[Harsha]

*please forward widely*


THE SELLING OF NATIONAL INSECURITIES

Under the rhetoric of "protecting citizens"; governments, international
bodies, and the corporate sector are rapidly intensifying security,
surveillance and anti-terror regimes at the national and global levels.

In light of the next SPP Summit in New Orleans in April 2008, join us for
a public forum including SHORT FILMS and SPEAKERS to find out about these
developments and what you can do to challenge this expanding
industrial-complex.
