    on Wendsday January 23rd 2008 KIT took off their 5 hats (3 black, and 2 white) and blindfolded Will BREEZY, Yasi DAY’S and Lyal BAND. KIT said “You can play tonight if any one of you can calculate the color of hat that is being worn.” KIT removed the BREEZY blind- DAY’S folds BAND, and we could see we were in a line, very close. Will BREEZY looked at Yasi DAY’S head-back, who in turn was looking at Lyal BAND’s head-back. We put our heads together, nose-to-hair: Will said “I can see both your hats, but I can’t calculate it, I’m sorry, fellows.” Yasi said “You’re too good, K.I.T.” Lyal, who saw least, said “I got it!” BAND.

  • The Big Sellout: Inside the economic war on the people of the world

    The new hard-hitting documentary, THE BIG SELLOUT weaves a story of mismanagement, neocolonialism, suffering and resistance from four separate corners of the globe.

    Traveling throughout both the developing and industrialized world, the film brings us face-to-face with the architects of the reigning world economic order, as well as with the people bearing the brunt of their policies. The film shows how international financial institutions, like the IMF and World Bank, are demanding draconian cuts in public spending and the worldwide privatization of basic public services, such as electricity, public transportation, public health care, and water supply—including privatizing rainwater. In South America, Asia, Africa, and also in Europe and the United States, the director meets people, to whom it is clear that the privatizations are not for their benefit but for maximizing profits of the banks and transnationals. Germany, 94 min, 2006, English and Spanish w/ English subtitles.

    Discussion will follow the film.
