Message from John Judge,

Friends,

The 15th annual regional meeting of COPA is just a few weeks away. I am still trying to add a few key speakers to what promises to be one of our best lineups ever. Come and hear the latest evidence, the best research and the most cogent analysis of political assassinations from the 60s to the present. Special events include a Moment of Silence on the Grassy Knoll on November 22 at 12:30, a visit afterwards at Baylor University's Poague Library in Waco, TX to see the Penn Jones, Jr. collection, and a public talk "There Must Be Some Way Out of Here: The Rise of the Military Industrial Complex, the Permanent War Economy and the Future of Humanity, at 6:30 pm, on the night of Monday, November 23 at the Dallas Peace Center office, (Children's Chapel, *5910 Cedar Springs Rd, Dallas, TX).

Also, John Geraghty has posted a video on You Tube promoting the conference. See the link below. I hope to see you there this year, other details attached - John Judge

Message from John Judge:

Friends,

For those of you who will be in Dallas after the COPA conference ends, you are welcome to attend a public talk I have scheduled for Monday night, November 22 in Dallas. Those who live in Dallas are welcome and encouraged to let others know about this. I want to do an overview about the problem of militarization and also the solutions possible at the crossroads and crisis we face.

Veteran peace activist John Judge will speak on:

“There Must Be Some Way Out of Here: The Rise of the Military Industrial Complex, Permanent War and the Future of Humanity”

Since 1985, John Judge has co-directed the Committee for High School Options and Information on Careers, Education and Self-Improvement (C.H.O.I.C.E.S.), a volunteer group of veterans, military family members and others who counter military recruitment with civilian options in public schools in Washington, DC.

Sponsored by the Dallas Peace Center and Iranians for Peace & Justice.

November 23, 7:00 p.m.

At Cathedral of Hope, 5910 Cedar Springs Rd.

The latest from COPA:

Friends,

The Dallas regional meeting of the Coalition on Political Assassinations is just around the corner, from Friday, November 20 to Sunday, November 22. Here is the final version of our flyer, our speaker schedule and our speaker biographies. It promises to be a great weekend of speakers and events. C-SPAN has shown some interest in covering it, so I am following up on that. We should be able to livecast some of our featured speakers at our website during the weekend, so peek in for those events at www.politicalassassinations.com if you are not going to attend.

In addition to our keynote speakers, Jim Douglass and Walt Brown, we will have award-winning film documentarian Randy Benson with his latest cuts from The Searchers, a film on the JFK researchers. Our resource room will feature the latest books, including those by our speakers, and DVDs on all the assassinations, thanks to JFK Last Hurrah Books. We will be showing a series of assassination documentary films on both Friday and Saturday night after 10:00 pm. We have a lunch for the early birds on Friday at 12:00 noon at the Hotel Lawrence restaurant, and a dinner that night at the Rodeo Bar & Grill, just off the main lobby at the Adolphus at 5:30 pm, before our keynote speaker at 7:00 pm.

Our location is right off Dealey Plaza, down the street from the Texas School Book Depository, now the Sixth Floor Museum. There is a Dealey Plaza webcam that runs all the time at http://www.earthcam.com/jfk/, so you should be able to see the crowd during our Moment of Silence on the Grassy Knoll at 12:30 pm CST on Sunday, November 22. Remember that all our schedule times are Central Standard as well if you are watching us livecast this weekend. DVD recordings of all the events will be available soon afterwards this year, we have a three-camera shoot going on currently, for a donation of $50 or more to COPA. After the conference, we will carpool to Baylor University's Poague Library in Waco, TX to see the Penn Jones, Jr. collection and other JFK assassination materials archived there, courtesy of Ben Rogers, the director.

On Monday, November 23 at 6:30 pm CST I will be speaking at the Dallas Peace Center on the topic "There Must Be Some Way Out of Here: The Rise of the Military-Industrial Complex, the Permanent War Economy and the Future of Humanity". Those still in Dallas are welcome to attend on a donation basis. We will also be recording and perhaps livecasting that talk at www.judgeforyourself.com, my website.

Next February 21st, COPA will co-sponsor a panel on the assassination of Malcolm X at the Dr. Betty Shabazz and Malcolm X Memorial and Educational Center in Harlem, at the site of his murder. This will mark the 45th anniversary of his death. This will be our third year of presenting such panels and the best information on this case. We are also working hard to get the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Records Act introduced and passed this year. It is moving toward that, and once there is a bill number I will get it out to all of you to get your members to co-sponsor it, to press for hearings, along with a review of the JFK Records Act it is based on, and for passage.

Thanks for all your support and interest. Hope to see you in Dallas this weekend.

John Judge, for COPA
