I’m going to be giving a talk on political repression at the “Econvergence” conference, Saturday, October 3, 2009, at the First Unitarian Church in Portland, Oregon.
I plan to briefly outline the counter-insurgency model, explain its domestic application, and suggest some of the implications for today’s social movements. The discussion will cover some of the history of domestic political repression, the emergence of the counter-insurgency model, its application today both domestically and abroad, and the possible consequences for the environmental and economic justice movements.
My talk will start at 11 a.m., on Saturday, October 3rd, 2009. The church is at SW 12th and Main in downtown Portland.
