from author John Carlin about the book “Dawn of the Code War,” hosted
by Kramerbooks & Afterwords Café, 1517 Connecticut Ave. NW, WDC
20036. This is an inside story of how America’s enemies launched a cyber
war against us-and how we’ve learned to fight back. With each passing
year, the internet-linked attacks on America’s interests have grown in both
frequency and severity. Overmatched by U.S. military, countries like North
Korea, China, Iran, and Russia have found us vulnerable in cyberspace. The “Code
War” is upon us. In this dramatic book, former Assistant Attorney General John
P. Carlin takes readers to the front lines of a global but little-understood
fight as the Justice Department and the FBI chases down hackers, online
terrorist recruiters, and spies. Today, as our entire economy goes digital,
from banking to manufacturing to transportation, the potential targets for our
enemies multiply. This firsthand account is both a remarkable untold story and
a warning of dangers yet to come.
John
P. Carlin, former Assistant Attorney General for the US Department of Justices
(DOJ) National Security Division (NSD), chairs Morrison & Foersters Global
Risk + Crisis Management practice and co-chairs the National Security practice,
where he advises industry-leading organizations in sensitive cyber- and other
national security matters. Look at https://www.facebook.com/events/528113764643037/.

to 9:30 PM, check out the Current Movements Film Festival, hosted by Eaton
Workshop, 1201 K St. NW, WDC 20005. Tickets are
cmfilmfestival.bpt.me. This is a week of documentary films, inspiring
panel discussions, healing arts workshops, and a Saturday party! The
Current Movements Film Festival was created to connect a wider audience to
documentary films and to what is happening in social movements
today. This 6-day event will not only highlight stories of social
change, but will also bring together artists, activists, filmmakers, and
collectives who are building a future we want to live in. Each day,
we will screen documentaries that will be the starting point to talk about the
issues facing real people and communities. We will hear the voices of global
activists who are doing the work day-in and day-out to make a difference. We
want this form of multi-layered storytelling to engage attendants into getting
involved in movements by understanding the issues, see they have a role to
play, and to learn how they can meaningfully take part. In the process, we hope
to bring folks in movements together to build relationships and find new ways
to build power. Monday’s film is AN INDIGENOUS RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE
called “The Last Guardians.” See the TRAILER at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9yuoTJ8qQE.
A panel discussion will follow. The Tuesday film is about THE DAILY THREAT TO
DEMOCRACY and is called “Suppressed: The Right To Vote.” Again a panel
discussion will follow. Go to https://www.facebook.com/events/536795517069707/?event_time_id=536795533736372.

The Havel Project, hosted by the Alliance for New Music-Theatre at the Dupont
Underground, 19 Dupont Circle NW, WDC 20036. This is a Double bill of
Václav Havel’s Protest and the group’s original production -- Vaněk Unleashed,
a tribute to Havel and the Velvet Revolution! "Protest" exposes
a society under a totalitarian regime that spies on its citizens and the thin
line between acquiescence and culpability, between comedy and creepy
terror. Vaněk Unleashed is a uniquely American response to the same, most
beloved central character of Vaněk. In this work the Alliance adds to the
tradition that includes playwrights Samuel Beckett and Tom Stoppard of paying
tribute to Havel by making Vaněk a universal character. The performance is
written and directed by Susan Galbraith. Look at https://www.facebook.com/events/510364376469067/?event_time_id=510364389802399.

35] –On Tues., Nov. 5
from 2:30 to 4 PM, come to a George Washington Institute for Korean Studies
Special Talk Series, "Ernest Bethell and the Great Game in Korea" with
John Burton, Washington Columnist, Korea Times, and moderator Yonho Kim, GWIKS
Associate Director, at Room 505, Elliott School of International Affairs, the
George Washington University, 1957 E St. NW, WDC 20052. Ernest Bethell
(1872-1909) was the first foreign journalist to be based in Korea and is
considered one of the founders of modern Korean journalism, along with Soh
Jai-pil. He came to Korea in 1904 as a young Englishman, took up the cause of
Korean independence against Japanese annexation by founding a newspaper, and
ultimately paid the price by being betrayed by his own government in the name
of great power politics, which led to his early death. His story provides
insights into how newspapers contributed to the rise of Korean nationalism amid
the clash of contending imperial powers for control of the country. The lecture
will also examine the role of propaganda and disinformation in setting the
political agenda and the manipulation of media outlets by foreign governments.
John
Burton was Seoul Bureau Chief for the Financial Times for nearly a decade. He
also worked as a foreign correspondent in Singapore, Tokyo and Stockholm for
the Financial Times and other publications. Contact the GW Institute for Korean
Studies at gwiks@gwu.edu or (202) 994-2775.

Kennedy, Al Gore Sr., George McGovern, Herbert Lehman, Glen Taylor, Theodore
