12-1 Saturday with Sheehan (April 21)
The latest in the once a month webinar with Danny Sheehan
Only one hour because he had to speak at an Earth Day religious services.
Lakota Law is like a dog who caught the car - the court has, after a year, finally ordered that 40 paragraphs of demands by Lakota Law be ordered including 80 depositions approved of Tiger-Swan by Lakota Law. (These cost about $2000 each to do but the resultant under oath information will be invaluable to unearthing the connections and mission behind Tiger-Swan violent actions.
Questions from audience on consciousness evolution toward homo universals; maintaining calm and positive outlook in face of grim conditions; will we make it? Artificial intelligence, "Our Final Invention" and importance of ethical standards. Various ET theories, including negative a preposterous ones.
Since 2006, Daniel Sheehan has served as the lead attorney and general counsel for the Lakota People’s Law Project (LPLP). Much of LPLP's work has been in South Dakota to stop violations of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) and rescue Lakota children from an abusive state care system. www.dansheehan.com
In 2016, LPLP began organizing around the Dakota Access Pipeline. Our Lakota staff were on the ground at Oceti Sakowin camp from its inception in April 2016 to the final days in February, 2017. Daniel is now heading a legal team representing Chase Iron Eyes and others facing felony charges related to the #NoDAPL movement. Much of Danny's time is spent in Bismarck, North Dakota, prepping for the trials this summer. To learn more about the work of Lakota People's Law Project, visit lakoktalaw.org
"The Peoples Advocate," the autobiography of American Constitutional Trial Attorney Daniel Sheehan, is now available through our online store! Sheehan traces his personal journey from his working-class roots through Harvard Law School and his initial career in private practice. His early disenchantment led to his return for further study at Harvard Divinity School, and rethinking the nature of his career. Eventually his role as President and Chief Trial Counselor for the famous Washington, DC-based Christic Institute would help define his role as America's preeminent cause lawyer.
In 'The Peoples Advocate,' Sheehan details “the inside story” of over a dozen historically significant American legal cases of the 20th Century, all of which he litigated. The remarkable cases covered in the book include both The Pentagon Papers Case in 1971 and The Watergate Burglary Case in 1973. In addition, Sheehan served as the Chief Attorney on The Karen Silkwood Case in 1976, which revealed the CIA's Israeli Desk had been smuggling 98% bomb-grade plutonium to the State of Israel and to Iran. In 1984, he was the Chief Trial Counsel on The American Sanctuary Movement Case, establishing the right of American church workers to provide assistance to Central American political refugees fleeing Guatemalan and Salvadorian “death squads.” His involvement with the sanctuary movement ultimately led to Sheehan's famous Iran/Contra Federal Civil Racketeering Case against the Reagan/Bush Administration, which he investigated, initiated, filed, and then litigated. The resulting “Iran/Contra Scandal” nearly brought down that Administration, leading Congress to consider the impeachment of over a dozen of the top-ranking officials of the Reagan/Bush Administration.
'The Peoples Advocate' is the “real story” of these and many other historic American cases, told from the unique point of view of a central lawyer
These monthly webinars are produced by www.EtLetsTalk.com
and the People's Disclosure Movement, "a collective of more than 11,000 peaceful groups & individuals from 100+ countries who meet up once a month, to make coordinated, interactive and united contact with loving and peaceful ET civilizations " - a subject that has fascinated Danny since his childhood and in which he is active in several roles. The coordinator-interviewer is Kosta Makreas.

1-2 Rick Jarow, "The Ultimate Anti-Career Guide"
The Inner Path to Finding Your Work in the World'
According to the perennial wisdom teachings, your vocation is not a means of survival in the world-it is a pure expression of your life force. Vocation arises, not as a response to external forces, but authentically from within your own body.
To the modern mind, this approach to work sounds radical. But for more than 3,000 years, sacred traditions in the East and West have allowed vocation to serve as a platform for spiritual and material growth. The Ultimate Anti-Career Guide is the first audio curriculum that adapts this classic approach to right livelihood to the challenges unique to our place and time.
Based on the national anti-career workshops taught by Dr. Rick Jarow since 1988, this is the same life-changing program that has helped thousands of frustrated job-seekers open to their intuition, transform their values into action, and answer their true calling-instead of settling for a paycheck.
Traditional career strategies are simply reactions to the job market, Dr. Jarow begins-for example, matching an inventory of skills with the want ads. An anticareer is a manifestation of the unique blueprint for your destiny encoded in your body since birth. The key to this revolutionary approach is your body's chakra system, the seven centers that govern the free flow of prana, or life force, through your body. Through a program of powerful meditations, you gain direct access to your chakras, clearing and aligning them with the energetic forces that make everything in life possible.
You don't have to go out looking for a job, Dr. Jarow says. The job you were born to do will unfold in time, like a tree from a seed, as you let go of self-limiting concepts and open to the energy of creation-with The Ultimate Anti-Career Guide.
Session 10 of 12: "The Seasons of the Spirit"
The fifth chakra: working with space and time. The importance of location. Time as a stream. Time cycles. Tree visualization. Sound and vibration. Space. More.
Rick Jarow is a professor of religious studies in Vassar College, a former Melon Fellow at Columbia University and a practicing career counselor. His popular Anti-Career Workshops, which he has taught internationally, are based on years of research and practice encompassing both Eastern and Western Traditions. He is the author of 'In Search of the Sacred' and 'Creating the Work You Love.'

2-3 David Whyte, "Clear Mind, Wild Heart"
'Finding Courage and Clarity Through Poetry'
"In the middle of the road of my life, I awoke in a dark wood, where the true way was wholly lost." When you find yourself without bearings, as Dante Alighieri voiced so well centuries ago, where will you look for guidance?
Throughout the ages, teaches David Whyte, the language of poetry has held the power to lend us courage, to give us the vision of those who endured, and to hazard ourselves boldly at the fierce edges of our lives. On Clear Mind, Wild Heart you will join this acclaimed poet and teacher to engage with the poetic imagination as your companion and guide for the difficult terrain we are all traversing.
Poetry, teaches Whyte, offers immediate and powerful tools unique from any other tradition. It can help us to see beyond the fragile surfaces of our lives, open us to the universal cycles and patterns that shape our lives, and awaken our conversation with what has been called the Untouchable, the Numinous, or the Eternal.
Clear Mind, Wild Heart guides you into the wellspring of this living poetic tradition through six hours of exploration and poetry with David Whyte, including the verses of such inspired voices as Emily Dickinson, William Blake, W.B. Yeats, Marina Tsvetayeva, Rainer Maria Rilke, Antonio Machado, and others. Through their words, you will discover how to apprentice yourself to beauty and find a place of belonging where you can hold loss and grief, the challenges of change, and the wonder of new discovery and adventure.
The language of poetry takes us outside of our small selves and calls us to look at ourselves and the world with open eyes, teaches David Whyte. Whether you are a lifelong poetry lover or new to its insights and pleasures, Clear Mind, Wild Heart is an inspiring guide to answering that call.
Session 4 of 6: Belonging to the World: Work and the Shaping of Identity
When the invisible world becomes visible. Our investment in work. Blake's notion of a 'a firm persuasion.' Following a star. The root of the word 'desire.' The core conversation at the center of your work. Thoreau: 'Lives of quiet desperation.' Work as a marriage. Keeping curiosity alive. Blake's notion of innocence and experience. The artist's perspective on work. The constrictive manner of the corporate world. True work. more.
David Whyte grew up among the hills and valleys of Yorkshire, England. The author of more than four books of poetry, he is one of the few poets to take his perspectives on creativity into the field of organizational development. David Whyte is also the author of the bestselling nonfiction books 'The Heart Aroused: Poetry and the Preservation of the Soul in Corporate America' and 'Crossing the Unknown Sea: Work As a Pilgrimage of Identity.' He lives with his family in the Pacific Northwest.

1-2:30 Dana Ullman MPH CCH "Homeopathic Healing"
'A Practical Course for Learning about Homeopathy and How to Use Powerful Natural Medicines to Heal Yourself' Part 3 of 6
Your body is unique - and so is the way it heals. On 'Homeopathic Healing,' Dana Ullman teaches you how to interpret the subtle, personal symptoms of illness and engage the human body's vast capacity to heal itself naturally. According to our modern understanding of physiology, symptoms are not simply something 'wrong' with you, but are actually the body's efforts to defend and heal itself. Conventional drugs primarily treat symptoms and therefore tend to inhibit and suppress the natural healing process. Homeopathic medicines, in comparison, work with - not against - the body's self-healing efforts.
Homeopathy is a complete medical system that utilizes minute doses of plant, animal, and mineral essence to trigger the body's defense mechanisms. Much like immunizations, these substances help augment the body's natural ability to prevent illness, treat disease, and promote better health. Homeopaths match prescriptions to each patient's unique symptoms. They carefully evaluate the entire mind/body and view symptoms within this context.
'Homeopathic Healing' is an comprehensive course on the history, philosophy, and practical applications of this influential medical science. You will lean how to customize the major homeopathic remedies to treat yourself and others safely, effectively, and without harmful side-effects. Join Dana Ullman and discover these exciting insights into the healing process, as well as proven, practical ways to engage the 'inner doctor' within us all. (NOTE: The last time I mentioned my broadcast of this series, Dana Ullman said it was a bit old fashioned due to ongoing research and discovery, but was otherwise accurate) Originally published by Sounds True.

2:30-3:30 Joel Kahn: "The Plant-Based Solution"
Dr. Joel Kahn is a holistic cardiologist, clinical professor of medicine, and author who is known as "America's Healthy Heart Doc." With Sounds True, he has published "The Plant-Based Solution: America's Healthy Heart Doc's Plan to Power Your Health." In this episode of Insights at the Edge, Joel and Tami Simon discuss why making the switch to a whole-food, vegan diet is the best decision you can make for your long-term heart health—as well as for diabetes prevention, sexual energy, and overall longevity. They compare a plant-based diet to other contemporary methods such as the keto and paleo diets, and Joel explains how to address what's missing in purely vegan foods. Finally, Tami and Joel talk about how the switch to a vegan diet is especially important for contemporary environmental crises and why a plant-based lifestyle will soon be a social standard.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, MAY 2
12-1 Dave Emory, "For the Record #1001 - Further Reflections on Weaponized Feminism and the #MeToo Movement"
This broadcast concludes our examination of weaponized feminism.
In the context of the Four B’s of American politics–Bullets, Bribes, Beds and Blackmail, the Conyers and Franken “bloodless” political assassinations bear more scrutiny than they have received.
From the standpoint of counter-intelligence analysis, the #MeToo phenomenon signals a superb tactic for political destruction: a) infiltrate a woman into the entourage or professional environment of a male politician, media or business figure targeted for destruction; b) have her gain the trust of her political target and his associates (the cardinal rule for a good double agent is “make yourself indispensable to the effort”); c) after sufficient passage of time, surface the allegations of sexual harassment; d) IF the opportunity for actual sex play and/or flirtation presents itself, take advantage of it for later use as political/rhetorical ammunition; e) with accusers having the tactical luxury of remaining anonymous, the operational template for a form of sexual McCarthyism and the precedent-setting contemporary manifestation of a sexual Star Chamber is very real–the operational similarities between much of the #metoo movement and the Salem Witch Trials should not be lost on the persevering observer; f) proper vetting of the accusations is absent in such a process; g) for a public figure in the U.S., proving deliberate defamation (libel/slander) is extremely difficult and litigation is very expensive–the mere surfacing of charges is enough to taint someone for life and the exorbitant expense of litigation is prohibitive for all but the wealthiest among us.
Recent disclosures concerning Trump’s data ally Cambridge Analytica include the firm’s apparent practice of entrapping political opponents with “Ukrainian sex workers” in order to engineer their destruction.
This should be evaluated against the scenario Mr. Emory has detailed above.
In FTR #998, we highlighted the removal of John Conyers, Congressional critic of the Nazi Azov Battalion, one of the founders of the Congressional Black Caucus, and senior member of the House Judiciary Committee (which helps vet Presidential judicial appointments.)
Conyers’ removal was signaled and abetted by Alt-Right blogger Mike Cernovich, a documented misogynist who famously observed that: “Misogyny gets you laid.”
One of Conyers’ long-time female staffers–his administrative assistant for more than two decades–did not accuse him of sexual harassment. That staffer was Rosa Parks, whose refusal to go to “the back of the bus” signaled the modern civil rights movement.
Conyers’ employment of Rosa Parks by itself would have been enough to get him targeted by the far right.
We note that, before her emergence as one of the prime movers of the contemporary civil rights movement, Rosa Parks was a cutting-edge feminist activist (before being feminist was “cool.”)
” . . . . She joined the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1943, 12 years before that fateful commute. In her first years in the organization, she worked specifically on criminal justice and its application in Alabama communities.
One part of this was protecting black men from false accusations and lynchings; the other was ensuring that black people who had been sexually assaulted by white people could get their day in court. . . .”
This, also, might well have been motivation enough for the far right to have effected a political lynching of Conyers, adding the irony that his alleged harassment of a female staffer was the reason for his removal. He denied the allegation and said that he settled in court to avoid the great time and expense such litigation would have required.
In conclusion, we dip back a little over 20 years–to August of 1996, to hear a lengthy excerpt of FTR #7, an interview with the late Frank Spiering, the author of 'Who Killed Polly?'
In something of a transitional element to our next show, dealing with school shootings, their political and sociological ramifications and the ominous connections of fascist groups to many of those events, we note how the disappearance of Polly Klaas, a twelve-year old allegedly raped and murdered by Richard Allen Davis, galvanized and terrorized much of America. Like the school shootings, youngsters cowered in fear because of the event.
Eventually, the case led to the passage of California’s “three strikes” law.
Although Davis certainly kidnapped Polly, the evidence suggests that he neither killed her, nor raped her, but that he spirited the young, unfortunate Ms. Klaas away at the behest of a powerful political element.
With the apparent collusion of elements of law enforcement (including elements of FBI), the actual executive authors of the event may have spirited Polly away to slave prostitution in a Saudi brothel, or for some other, monstrous manifestation of child pornography or white slavery.
If Mr. Spiering’s speculation that she may have ended up in a special Saudi brothel specializing in under-age American and Western women, the corruption of elements of law enforcement by the tremendous petroleum wealth and derivative political power of that nation should not be surprising.
“Fill ‘er up!”
After the program was recorded, Frank Spiering passed away. The publisher went out of business.

2-3 Miko Peled, "An Israeli Dissident View"
Recorded in Seattle, WA on February 20, 2018.
Occupation has a corrosive and corrupting effect not just on the occupied but on the occupiers as well. The British learned this in Kenya as the French did in Algeria and maybe the U.S. did in Iraq. People don’t like to be occupied. Thus, severe measures are employed to keep them controlled. Israel is a case in point. Palestinians have endured more than five decades of occupation. They have been subjected to land seizures, destruction of homes and fruit trees, torture, checkpoints, curfews, barriers, collective punishment and extrajudicial killings. In terms of the tactics of repression Israel is no different from other occupiers. But there is one crucial difference: U.S. support. Washington has given over the years more than $130. billion in aid to Israel. That’s more than any other country gets by far. The U.S. by its largess enables the occupation.
Miko Peled was born in Israel to a prominent Zionist family. His grandfather signed Israel’s Declaration of Independence. His father, Matti Peled served as a general in the 1967 war. He is an advocate for Palestinian rights and lectures widely on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Recorded at Seattle Pacific University.
