Eyes Wide Open - Minneapolis/St. Paul
September 29, 30 and October 1,
College of St. Catherine, 2004 Randolph Avenue (at Cleveland), StPaul

Eyes Wide Open is the American Friends Service Committee's widely
acclaimed exhibition demonstrating the human cost of the Iraq war and
commemorating all the lives lost. The exhibit includes a pair of boots
honoring each U.S. military casualty and a field of shoes with a wall of
remembrance to memorialize the thousands of Iraqi civilians who have been
killed since the beginning of the Iraq conflict. Read more about the
traveling exhibit at www.afsc.org/eyes.

Eyes Wide Open has traveled to more than 60 cities across the country. The
exhibition has attracted families and friends who come to grieve for lost
loved ones and visitors who pay homage to those who gave their lives to a
cause far from home. Notes of commemoration, photographs of lost soldiers,
identification tags, flowers and American flags are frequently left by
visitors to accompany the boots on their journey.

This exhibit is a memorial to those who have fallen and a witness to our
belief that no war justifies its human cost. We hope to dramatize the cost
of war, mourn the losses, and create a climate that will encourage
discussion and promote actions for peace.

Subject: Dennis Banks 9.29 7pm

American Indian leader Dennis Banks will deliver Hamline University's 2005
Commitment to Community keynote address on September 29. Banks, an
American Indian of the Ojibwa Tribe, has been noted as one of the most
influential Indian leaders of our time.

The event will begin at 7pm at the Hamline United Methodist Church,
located at 1514 Englewood Av in StPaul. The lecture is free and open to
the public but passes are required for admission. Free passes will be
available beginning September 19 and can be picked up in advance at the
Hamline University Student Center, located at 1561 Hewitt Av in StPaul, or
by calling 651-523-2420.

Born in 1937 and raised by his grandparents on the Leech Lake reservation
in Minnesota, Banks grew up learning traditional Ojibwa lifeways. As a
young child he was torn from his home and forced to attend a government
boarding school designed to assimilate Indian children into white culture.
He enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, shipping out to Japan when he was only
17 years old.

After returning home, Banks lived in poverty in the Indian slums of
Minnesota until he was arrested for stealing groceries to feed his growing
family and was sent to prison. There he became determined to educate
himself. Hearing about the African American struggle for civil rights, he
recognized that American Indians must take up a similar fight. Upon his
release, Banks became a founder of the American Indian Movement (AIM)
which soon inspired Indians from many tribes to join the fight for
American Indian rights. Through AIM, he sought to confront racism with
activism rooted deeply in Native religion and culture.

Banks's inspiring life story includes his role in the 1972 "Trail of
Broken Treaties" march to Washington, D.C., which ended in the occupation
of the Bureau of Indian Affairs building, to the 1973 standoff at Wounded
Knee, when Lakota Indians and AIM activists from all over the country
occupied the site of the infamous 1890 massacre of 300 Sioux men, women
and children to protest the bloodshed and corruption at the Pine Ridge
Lakota reservation.

Years later he was sentenced to two years in prison for his role at
Wounded Knee. He was paroled after serving one year. He then taught Indian
history at the Lone Man school at Pine Ridge. Since then, Banks has
organized "Sacred Runs" for young people, teaching American Indian ways,
religion and philosophy worldwide. Now operating a successful business on
the reservation, he continues the fight for Indian rights.

The lecture is part of Hamline's Commitment to Community program. The
student-based organization works to advocate for the appreciation and
awareness of diversity through creative and inventive program efforts.

Rigorous academics and innovative programs attract and challenge a diverse
and talented student body in Hamline University's undergraduate college,
graduate schools, and law school. Guided by faculty who are leaders in
their fields, Hamline's nearly 4,400 students experience an intimate
environment of small classes and personal attention along with the
opportunities of a comprehensive university.

Truth Serum Blues
With post performance discussions and panels co-sponsored by Mizna.
September 29 - October 2   8pm

Written by Ismail Khalidi and Bassam Jarbawi
Directed by Dipankar Mukherjee

At Pangea World Theater Studio
711 West Lake Street, Suite 101, Minneapolis

What is terrorism? Patriotism? Sedition? What is freedom of speech and
freedom of imagination? Truth Serum Blues freely tackles such questions
head on through music, poetry, photography, and film. Delving inside the
mind of the main character, Kareem, and infused with memories and
questions about family, exile and home in the post September 11th era, the
play glides back and forth between Guantanamo, Urban America and the
Middle East.

Dialogues after the performance:

September 30: Balance and bias: Framing productive questions on the Middle
East. How do we provoke responses as we create art? How can artists use
performance as a strategy for creating a world in which we want to live?
Hosted by Mazhar Al Zobi.

October 1: Panel on the war on terror. From Israel-Palestine to Iraq and
Guantanamo: victims, victors, and the question of balance.

The post performance discussions and panels are co-sponsored by Mizna.

This project is a part of Pangea's Voices of Exile to highlight the voices
of refugee and immigrant communities currently living in Minnesota. It was
created to serve as a record of the struggles of exile, adjustment and
self-determination and the richness of artistic expression of exile
communities.

William and Nadine McGuire Theater
Price:  $20 ($16 Walker members)

"Filled with slapping, slashing, and kicking moves, the choreography
matched the acting in emotional heat, and both expressed the sense that
fury lies at the core of desire." -Los Angeles Times

In Bella Copia's gritty mix of sex, power, and obsession "packs a visceral
and psychological wallop" (New York Times). Working with a cast of
contemporary dancers from across the globe, Prague-based Deja Donne's
exhilarating dance-theater is rich with incendiary social and metaphorical
political content. With an intense physicality and explosive style, the
performance suggests that human relationships are a power game - our basic
human impulses fueling fantasies that are seductive, ugly, and humbling
all at once. Contains adult content.

Anybody Home?
Sheehan and the Democrats
By JOSHUA FRANK
CounterPunch
September 28, 2005

In a recent article in these pages, I tweaked Cindy Sheehan for going soft
on Hillary Clinton's warmongering. Well, I was wrong. Sheehan hasn't gone
soft on Clinton; she's attacked the New York senator for her hollow
position on the Iraq conflict.

At a rally outside Hillary Clinton's office in New York, Cindy Sheehan
declared to the crowd on hand that Clinton must either speak out against
the war or risk losing her job. In fact, New York antiwar advocates are
hoping Sheehan will run against Clinton in the Democratic primaries in
2006. Others out West are hoping Sheehan will take on Dianne Feinstein in
California.

In a recent interview with the Village Voice Sheehan contended that she
was "so frustrated" by top Democrats like Hillary Clinton "who should be
leaders on this [war] issue, but are not," arguing that it is "time for
them to step up and be the opposition party. This war is not going to end
unless the Democrats are on board with us."

It sure would be nice if more antiwar activists were to follow Cindy's
lead on this one. If the majority of protesters took their protests to the
front steps of each elected pro-war Democrat as well as Republican, we
might have a big-time movement on our hands. I'll admit it; Sheehan is
savvier than I gave her credit for. She knows that the antiwar movement
should stick to the war, not lesser-evil politics. Too bad Sheehan wasn't
making headlines during the 2004 elections; if she had been, the antiwar
movement might have not been so soft on the pro-war Kerry campaign.

We certainly have a long way to go before antiwar activists start taking
on the Democrats for embracing everything Bush has propagated.

Some have speculated, including muckraking journalist Wayne Madsen, that
the Democrats fled last weekend's rallies because the pro-Israel lobbying
group AIPAC had urged them not to. Madsen reported that Congressman Barney
Frank was pressured by AIPAC to intervene and scare Democrats out of
attending the rallies. I certainly agree that AIPAC doesn't want elected
officials to attend antiwar festivities, but to think that AIPAC alone is
responsible for the Democrats' absence is foolish. The Democrats have been
pro-war and pro-occupation since the Iraq war's inception. Is this solely
because of AIPAC's influence?

No, the Democrat's inability to challenge Bush goes a lot deeper than
their ties to Israel. The Democrats haven't been able to go after Bush on
any major issue, from PATRIOT Act to CAFTA to John Roberts. The Iraq war
is just one more failure in a laundry list of Democratic disappointments.

Perhaps next we'll see Cindy Sheehan take on the plight of the
Palestinians and speak out against Israel's influence over U.S. foreign
policy in the Middle East. If she does so, we might really be getting
somewhere. In the meantime, however, let's just be happy that Sheehan
recognizes the Democrats are Bush's war enablers. At least it's a start.

Joshua Frank is the author of the brand new book, Left Out!: How Liberals
Helped Reelect George W. Bush, which has just been published by Common
Courage Press. You can order a copy at a discounted rate at

Cheney to spend the entire month above ground

Will Expose Himself to Sunlight to Boost White House Approval Ratings

Vice President Dick Cheney said today that in an effort to pump up the
White House's anemic approval ratings he would remain above ground for an
entire month and would not return to his secure, undisclosed location
until November.

The vice president, who emerged from his underground lair two weeks ago
for a series of high-profile photo opportunities, made the surprising
announcement at a press briefing in the White House.

"I'm untanned, but I'm rested and ready," said Mr. Cheney, squinting at
the daylight as he spoke to the White House press corps.

According to one of the vice president's aides, Mr. Cheney's decision to
climb out of his subterranean hideout for the entire month of October
would mean his longest visit to the Earth's surface since 2001.

"Dick Cheney is willing to do everything he can to help the White House's
numbers, even if it means exposing himself to the ultraviolet rays of the
sun," the aide said.

But according to Dr. Lars Krenzel, a scientist who studies the habitats
and migration patterns of vice presidents for the University of Minnesota,
Dick Cheney's extended visit to the earth's surface means "a journey into
the unknown."

"There is no way of predicting how Dick Cheney will respond to the earth's
atmosphere," said Dr. Krenzel.  "One thing is certain, however: whether he
is above ground or below ground, his Halliburton stock will continue to
rise."

Elsewhere, NASA said it would return to the moon by 2018, and FEMA said it
would return its phone calls by 2020.
