Chicago Media Watch is holding "an urgent city-wide conference" on war and propaganda Saturday, November 2, on the campus of Loyola University. Some of the speakers will include "David Schippers, attorney for FBI special agent and whistleblower Robert Wright, who was stopped from speaking out about the investigation of terrorist cells in the US, under threat of termination. ... Professor Nancy Snow of UCLA's Annenberg School of Communication who previously worked for US Information Service, and author of Propaganda, Inc. She will talk about government attempts to influence foreign opinion by exporting US culture and pro-US propaganda worldwide. ... There will also be an action panel of activists ... who will spearhead a discussion on what we can do to blunt the effects of the current climate of propaganda."
