The educational series is on the 2nd Thursday of each month, 7-9 pm, at the Grand Lake Neighborhood Center, 530 Lake Park Ave. in Oakland. That's about a block from the Grand Lake Theater. AC Transit buses #12 and #57 go within a couple of blocks. Here is a link to the public transit trip planner (it will find your itinerary and fare). The first hour is always the basic introduction to the Malthusian/Ricardian dilemma, the "Iron Mountain" model of permanent war, the military and monetary importance of oil ("petrodollar hegemony"), the 1945 "Qunicy Pact" with Saudi Arabia, and much more. The second hour is a rotating advanced topic with guest speakers. In 2007 Frank Runninghorse will be giving his "CIA Jihad" series in the 2nd hour. Thanks to our sponsors, the N. Ca. 9/11 Truth Alliance. Below is a map (the green arrow indicates the place): .
