SILVER BUILDING, Room 401 - Main building of NYU. It covers a whole block on Washington Square East (across from the N.E. corner of Washington Square Park), and can be entered by the doors at 31 Washington Place (on the north side of the building) and 32 Waverly Place (on the south side of the building).

For non-NYU people, be sure to bring a photo I.D., and tell the NYU guard you are going to Professor Ollman’s colloquium in Room 401.

DOCUMENTARY FILM .DOCUMENTARY FILM

“MURDER, SPIES AND VOTING LIES: THE CLINT CURTIS STORY” Produced by Patty Sharaf

This is simply the best and most alarming of the recent spate of documentaries dealing with the likely theft of the Nov. 4th election, despite Obama's growing lead. While VOTER SUPPRESSION has received more attention in recent weeks, little has been said ­ even by the progressive media ­ about ELECTION FRAUD through the widespread manipulation of the electronic voting machines. Conspiracy theory? Of little concern to Marxists, most of whom believe that all elections in capitalism are a fraud? Come and see this extraordinary documentary before you decide... or to test your views.

After the film, there will be a discussion, led by Bertell Ollman ­ who is giving a course this term at NYU on “How To Steal an Election” -- on the film but also on its relevance for a Marxist analysis of American politics and for socialist political strategy more generally.

Come! Bring a friend!
