Sunday, December 15, 12noon
Studio 35 Cinema & Draft House, 3055 Indianola Ave.

In an audacious investigation, “Freightened” reveals the mechanics and perils of freight shipment; an all-but-visible industry that holds the key to our economy, our environment, and the very model of our civilization. All ticket proceeds go directly to support Simply Living and their many exciting local initiatives!

Editor’s note: Studio 35 has a private event at 3pm after our December screening, so our event on December 15 will be ending an hour early at 2pm. We will start the film at 12noon sharp to accommodate this, which should still allow close to a half hour for discussion after the film. The theater will open for us at 11:30am, as they have previously, so come early for lunch if you like!

Let's be specific:

A pivotal climate battle can be won by solarizing California for  the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics...upending the global equation ecologically, economically and politically.

Letter printed below

The principle political target is Gavin Newsom, not Donald Trump.

As Lieutenant-Governor, Newsom signed a landmark 2018 blueprint for shutting the two dying atomic reactors at Diablo Canyon, replacing their output with a green phase-in.  

The deal was signed by then-Gov. Jerry Brown, the state legislature & regulators, local governments, unions, green groups...& plant owner PG&E

Solar, wind, geothermal and battery storage now dwarf Diablo's output & regularly exceed California's entire electric demand; installed statewide battery backup exceeds Diablo's capacity by a factor of 4 (and growing) avoiding potential blackouts at least twice.

My former CIA colleague Larry Johnson has a real ability to clarify the significance of the constantly growing deep dark hole that Joe “Mumbles” Biden, he of failing mental capacity, has hurled the American people into. Larry wrote on December 12th that “There is still plenty of time before Donald Trump is inaugurated for Joe Biden’s team of cretins to start World War III. I think the biggest risk is that Israel may be emboldened to attack Iran and try to destroy sites, and may be encouraged to do so by the Biden lackeys.
