More info: cesr@dal.ca “Fear is what makes otherwise intelligent people place blind faith in leaders undeserving of their trust, it is what makes us want to believe in fairy tales of good versus evil, and what makes us passively accept severe curtailments of our liberties. By helping us understand how fear is being actively cultivated and manipulated by the current administration, Hijacking Catastrophe stands to become an explosive and empowering information weapon in this decisive year in U.S. history.” NAOMI KLEIN | author, No Logo: Taking Aim at the Brand Bullies Featuring Interviews with: Tariq Ali | Benjamin Barber | Medea Benjamin | Noam Chomsky | Kevin Danaher Mark Danner | Shadia Drury | Michael Dyson | Daniel Ellsberg | Michael Franti | Stan Goff | William Hartung | Robert Jensen | Chalmers Johnson | Jackson Katz | Michael T.
