12-2 Saturday with Sheehan (January 13)
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.
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 www.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.

2-3:30 Rick Jarrow, "The Yoga of Work" Part 1 of 2
'Strategies for Right Livelihood from the World's Wisdom Traditions'
Why do you work? What motivates you? Outside of our cultural perspective, and beyond our market economy, these questions have many answers. On 'The Yoga of Work,' Dr. Rick Jarow, founder of the national anti career workshops, immerses you in a lic-changing process for finding work that is your authentic personal expression and contribution to the world.
Dr. Jarow, a Fullbright scholar and authority on career and spirituality, asks the hard questions about work that we all need to answer. Am I afraid to quit my job? Is it my true calling, or a way to pay the bills? am I really seeking my 'dream job' or is there something else missing from my life? Looking to eight other world cultures, he shares the most useful teachings about work and spirit from India, Native America, China, Africa, and other regions of the world. With special meditations, Dr. Jarow helps you open to the meaningful work you are supposed to do, where you are supposed to do it. With this destination comes the inner freedom that is the true heart of right livelihood.
In the 'Baghdad Gita,' sometimes called the 'gospel' of India, yoga is described as 'skill in action.' 'The Yoga of Work' is the first cross-cultural guide to putting your values, skills, and spirit to work for the things you believe in most.
Rick Jarow is a professor of history of religious studies at Vassar College, a former Mellon Fellow in the Humanities in Columbia University and a practicing career consultant. His popular anti career workshop, which has internationally, is based on years of research and practice with lineage holders in both Eastern and Western wisdom traditions. Dr. Jarow is the author of 'In Search of the Sacred: A Pilgrimage to Holy Places,' and 'Creating the Work You Love: Courage, Commitment, and Career' and 'Alchemy of Abundance: Using the Energy of Desire to Manifest Yur Highest Vsion, Power, and Purpose.'

12-1 Vaccine Update
"The CDC, Vaccination, and the Deep State"
by Richard Gale and Gary Null
Transcript: http://prn.fm/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Politicalization%20of%20Vaccines.pdf
(Progressive Radio Network, January 21, 2018) http://prn.fm
1-1:30 Norma Field, "Where Are the People in the Nuclear Age?"
In the annals of nuclear accidents Fukushima has a special place. In Chernobyl the government opted to remove the 116,000 people living around the power plant. In Fukushima there is an ongoing effort to remove the contamination and to bring the 154,000 evacuees back. The Japanese government claims the effort is successful – independent researchers have serious doubts.
Admittedly the cleanup so far reached only 5 percent of Fukushima province and the only published data on the status of radioactive substances come from independent researchers. They find that contamination returned to cleaned up areas via wind, rain and traffic.
Norma Field is an author and professor emeritus of East Asian studies at the University of Chicago. She has taught Premodern Japanese Poetry and Prose, and Gender Studies. She is a frequent visitor to Japan where she was born in 1947.
Norma Field spoke for NEIS on December 2, 2017. The Nuclear Energy Information Service, NEIS, had invited her and Arnie Gundersen to call attention to the plight of people who suffer the consequences of radiation. From TUC Radio, 1 (707) 463-2654, www.tucradio.org
1:30-2 Arnie Gunderson, "Where Are the People in the Nuclear Age?
On December 2, 2017 the University of Chicago celebrated the 75th anniversary of the first nuclear chain reaction that led to the building of the atomic bomb and the nuclear power industry. The physicist Leo Szilard said at the time that by his and Enrico Fermi’s invention universal death had come into the world. Today critics of the 2017 anniversary say that the lectures and events were biased in favor of nuclear weapons and nuclear power and even insulting to radiation victims as they culminated in fireworks in the shape of a mushroom cloud. The Nuclear Energy Information Service, NEIS, called attention to the plight of people who suffer the consequences of radiation. Dave Kraft of NEIS introduces the first speaker, Fairewinds Energy Education’s Arnie Gundersen.
Gundersen talks about his trips to Japan to collect dirt samples following the nuclear reactor explosions at Fukushima and his work with Japanese citizens who learn to collect and analyze samples. Gundersen finds to this day serious contamination up to 300 miles from Fukushima – even in areas that have been declared safe to live. He describes the terrible social pressure placed on mothers to return, with their children, to communities contaminated with radioactive particles.
He speaks of doctors under order from the Japanese government to diagnose the common effects of radiation as caused by stress. And he reveals that the NRC knew about the scale of the radiological contamination days after the meltdowns, describing the whole province of Fukushima as a contaminated zone. He also reveals that a stadium inside Fukushima province will be hosting the baseball competitions at the 2020 Olympics.

12-1 Dave Emory, "For the Record #988 - Hindutva Fascism, Part 1: The Assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, Part 1
In previous programs, we have analyzed the Hindutva (Hindu nationalist) fascist character of the RSS and its political front the BJP, the party of current Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In past discussions of the RSS and BJP, we have noted the following:
1.-Modi’s political fortunes were boosted with support and apparent financing from Pierre Omidyar, who also helped finance the rise of the OUN/B fascists in Ukraine.
2.-Modi and his BJP are viewed with great favor by Breitbart kingpin, former Trump campaign manager and adviser Steve Bannon. A number of Trump’s business associates in India are associated with the BJP.
3.-Bernie Sanders’ prospective Vice-Presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard helped arrange the details for Modi’s American visit and is networked with the RSS.
4.-Under Modi, anti-Muslim violence has dramatically accelerated, while free speech has been attenuated. BJP members have celebrated Gandhi’s murder.
An entity patterned after Mussolini’s Blackshirts, the RSS was the organization that spawned the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi.
Fascist organizations generally demonize a “malevolent other,” in the case of the RSS, it was India’s large Muslim population. (Before gaining independence, India and the modern nations of Pakistan and Bangladesh were part of one large British colony.
The disturbing facts concerning Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination at the hands of the RSS and its ideological leader V.D. Savarkar was related by James Douglass in “Gandhi and the Unspeakable”. (Douglass is also the author of JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters–a book we have used on numerous occasions.)

2-3 Trita Parsi , "The Iran Deal"
Program #PART002. Recorded in Denver, CO on October 04, 2017.
The self-styled deal maker is a deal breaker when it comes to the historic agreement limiting Iranian uranium enrichment in return for the lifting of sanctions. Trump refused to certify Iranian compliance and passed the ball to Congress which now must decide. But the UN monitoring agency has determined that Tehran is adhering to the conditions agreed to. Does the U.S. have evidence indicating otherwise? Why is Trump now abrogating the deal and insulting Iran as “a rogue state.” Iran, once in Washington’s hip pocket under the Shah, broke away with its 1979 Islamic Revolution. The U.S. has been hostile ever since. If the deal collapses why would any country, say North Korea, enter into an agreement with Washington? It changes what has been negotiated post-facto. In this case, the old saw applies, If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Trita Parsi is the president of the National Iranian American Council. He is the author of Treacherous Alliance: The Secret Dealings of Iran, Israel and the United States, A Single Roll of the Dice and Losing an Enemy: Obama, Iran and the Triumph of Diplomacy.
