12-2 Daniel Sheehan
"The Trajectory of Justice"
Rulers of the Realm: Introduction (2019)
This course of 20 lectures given at U.C. Santa Cruz is the fifth time Danny has given it over the last years, each year, of course, changing emphasis while the times, the trajectory, and the climate change. It has been described 'from
Desert Storm to Standing Rock.'
The course gave credits for majors in History, Politics, Legal Studies, Sociology and Philosophy and contains a wide range of known and surprisingly unknown (to most) facts. One of the great rewards of the lecture and series is detail
on how we have escaped the current and recurrent situation of our national political/economic strangulation in the past and how we can do it again.
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.
He initiated and litigated both the case that established, before The United States Supreme Court, the right of unmarried persons to access to birth control information and devises and the case that established, again as the result
of a United States Supreme Court case, the right of American journalists to protect the identity of their confidential news sources from compulsory disclosure to state or federal grand juries.
Dan was then retained as a Trial Attorney for America’s #1 Litigation Law Firm on Wall Street, the firm of Cahill, Gordon, Sonnett, Reindel & Ohl where he carried those two cases, and other important First Amendment cases to the U.S.
Supreme Court, most notably New York Times v. U.S. (the Pentagon Papers Case). As Chief Trial Counsel for the National Office of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Rocky Mountain Regional Office in Denver, Colorado, Dan served as Chief Trial Counsel on numerous
cases on behalf of Native American rights including as Amicus Counsel in The Wounded Knee Occupation and its following trials…thereinafter being made Legal Counsel for the Native American Rights Committee of ACLU National. Dan also served as Special Counsel
to the law firm of famed criminal defense attorney F. Lee Bailey during that firm’s representation of Watergate Burglary wiretapping specialist James McCord – the man who “blew the whistle” on Richard Nixon and his infamous “Plumbers Unit” that led directly
to the resignation of Richard Nixon as President.
Dan then became a Candidate for the Jesuit Priesthood and served as General Counsel to the United States Jesuit Headquarters in Washington, D.C. for ten years, where he also served as the Co-Director of the American Jesuit Order’s National
Office of Social Ministry. There he partnered with Father William J. Davis,a member of the famous “Berrigan Brothers Gang” of Jesuit Priest Daniel Berrigan and his brother Phillip, a Josephite Catholic Priest and then partnered with National Organization of
Women (N.O.W.) National Labor Secretary Sara Nelson, the Oil, Chemical & Atomic Workers Union and the Environmental Policy Institute in Washington, D.C. to launch and successfully prosecute the Karen Silkwood case (Silkwood v. Kerr-McGee) – which stopped the
construction of all new private nuclear power plants in the United States between 1979 and the present. Dan and Father Davis and Sara Nelson then went on to co-found The Christic Institute, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public interest law firm and public policy center
in Washington, D.C. that, over the next 12-year period, investigated and successfully civilly prosecute many of the most celebrated public interest cases of our generation. In 1984, in the midst of successfully defending the first members of The American Sanctuary
Movement to be publicly prosecuted by the Reagan/Bush Administration for aiding political refugees escaping Central American Death Squads funded by that Administration, Dan and his Christic Institute colleagues uncovered and investigated the infamous “Off-The-Shelf,
Stand Alone, Self-Financing ‘Private’ Covert Operations ENTERPRISE” OF Lt. Colonel Oliver North and The Reagan/Bush Administration and then triggered The Iran-Contra Scandal with their filing of the Federal Criminal Racketeering Act civil lawsuit against 29
of the “retired” former C.I.A. and U.S. Pentagon covert operations specialists who were the founders and leaders of that “ENTERPRISE.” While that suit failed to secure a final civil judgment, it succeeded in uncovering – and publicly-exposing – the long-time
pattern of criminal activity conducted by those individuals inside the US intelligence community.
Daniel Sheehan’s Memoir Published by Counterpoint Press
'The Peoples Advocate, the autobiography of American Constitutional Trial Attorney Daniel Sheehan.' His next book will be 'Rulers of the Realm' which he is currently trying to shorten at request of the publisher. 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.

2-2:30 Paul Street, "The Authoritarian Absurdity of the U.S. Constitution" (Part One of Two)
Paul Street on Why it Matters Today – Paul Street is an independent radical-democratic policy researcher, teacher, journalist, historian, and author of seven books. In this talk, that he gave at the Open University of the Left in Chicago
in March 2019, he offered arguments and proof that the US constitution is not the sacred document protecting the “Peoples Rights”, but on the contrary is authoritarian and anti-democratic by design.
For the 18th Century slaveholders and merchants popular sovereignty was the ultimate nightmare and they embedded safety mechanisms into the constitution that remain in force today via the Senate, Supreme Court and Electoral College.
Street details how U.S. politics and policy are badly distorted by the nation’s exceptionally durable charter and how we might finally stop playing “Simon Says” with militant anti-democrats like Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay.
Paul Street has authored seven books to date, among them: 'Racial Oppression in the Global Metropolis: a Living Black Chicago History;' 'The Empire’s New Clothes: Barack Obama in the Real World of Power;' 'Crashing the Tea Party: Mass
Media and the Campaign to Remake American Politics;' and 'They Rule: The 1% v. Democracy.'
Paul Street’s essays and commentaries have appeared in a wide variety of media such as CounterPunch, Truthdig, Black Agenda Report, the Chicago Tribune, The New York Times, and CNN to name only a few.

2:30-3:30 Jack Kornfield, "The Jewel of Liberation" 9 of 10
For four decades, Buddhist meditation teacher Jack Kornfield has shared practical instructions for awakening the wise and compassionate heart in the midst of all we experience. The Jewel of Liberation presents 10 pinnacle dharma talks (teaching sessions)
hand-selected by Jack from his personal collection to illuminate the pathways out of suffering and into the natural freedom that is both our shared birthright and our greatest gift to the world.
Reclaim the Seat of Dignity, Compassion, and Lovingkindness
Meditation is the practice of awakening itself; it is the fundamental tool the Buddha offered to quiet the mind and open the heart. We begin our retreat with an examination of the art of meditation and how it empowers us to see things clearly and be gracious
with the flow of this ever-changing life.
The Jewel of Liberation continues with guidance in managing our troubles, the "weeds" that arise even as we cultivate the seeds of abiding happiness. Our retreat culminates with an inquiry into the "laws of life," the understandings we must have if we
are to experience freedom independent of our circumstances.
The Possibility of Freedom Here and Now
"The sure heart's release is found nowhere else but in our own direct experience-for it is who and what we are," teaches Jack Kornfield. "The world so much needs people who are free in this way, unafraid to love every being." Here is his invitation for
each of us to "be a lamp of freedom for yourself and for all."
Session 9: "Enlightenments"
The possibility of freedom. Is enlightenment a myth? The varieties of enlightenment. The capacity to let go. Emptiness. The varieties of freedom.

12-1 Dave Emory, "The Christian West - Contextual Foundation of the Jim DiEugenio Interviews" Part 3
Reviewing past material in order to refresh and reinforce understanding of the historical context and foundation of the recent Jim DiEugenio interviews, this program reviews information relevant to the concept of
the Christian West. "The Christian West" is explained in the description for AFA #37: " . . . . When it became clear that the armies of the Third Reich were going to be defeated, it opened secret negotiations with representatives from the Western Allies. Representatives
on both sides belonged to the transatlantic financial and industrial fraternity that had actively supported fascism. The thrust of these negotiations was the establishment of The Christian West. Viewed by the Nazis as a vehicle for surviving military defeat,
'The Christian West' involved a Hitler-less Reich joining with the U.S., Britain, France and other European nations in a transatlantic, pan-European anti-Soviet alliance. In fact, The Christian West became a reality only after the cessation of hostilities.
The de-Nazification of Germany was aborted. Although a few of the more obvious and obnoxious elements of Nazism were removed, Nazis were returned to power at virtually every level and in almost every capacity in the Federal Republic of Germany. . . ."
Against the background of Allen and John Foster Dulles' long, overlapping careers as lawyers for Sullivan & Cromwell, as well as government operatives, we note the decisive role of cartels in precipitating fascism
and the position in the political and macro-economic landscape of the events stemming from that.
Program Highlights Include: American recruitment of Nazi Eastern Front intelligence officers in August of 1944 (far earlier than generally supposed); The Gehlen "Org"'s incorporation into the CIA with the consent
of a Nazi chain of command that was still in existence; the role in the Gehlen Org of Eastern European fascist organizations including the OUN/B, the Romanian Iron Guard, the Croatian Ustachi, the Bulgarian National Front and the SS Baltic Legion; the incorporation
of those same Gehlen-controlled Eastern European fascists into the GOP via the Crusade For Freedom (CFF); the pivotal role of Gehlen/Nazi/CFF personnel in the postwar GOP (Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, William Casey and George H.W. Bush); the re-institution
of Nazis in the "New" Federal Republic of Germany; the control of the "New" Federal Republic of Germany by an underground Nazi fuehringsring and a command center in Madrid; the role of Canadian nickel interests in John Foster Dulles' cobbling together of I.G.
Farben; Garrison investigative target Clay Shaw's networking with Canadian nickel interests; the role of both Dulles brothers in frustrating the interdiction of the Bormann flight capital program; the [apparently successful] negotiations between OSS chief
William Donovan, his aide Allen Dulles and representative of the SS to realize the Christian West concept; the role of Crusade For Freedom personnel in the assassination of President Kennedy; Garrison investigative target Clay Shaw's friendship with Nazi Finance
Minister Hjalmar Schacht; Foster Dulles' professional intimacy with Schacht; Shaw's links to Permindex and the SS-linked Schroeder banking empire; the decisive role of Allen Dulles, George Herbert Walker (W's great grandfather and the grandfather of George
H.W. Bush), Prescott Bush, Sr. (the father of George H.W. Bush and the grandfather of W) in laundering U.S. capital investment in Nazi Germany and the return of those Nazi monies to the U.S.; Nazi steel magnate Fritz Thyssen's close relationship to: Allen
Dulles, Prescott Bush, Martin Bormann and the Schroeder banking interests; Allen Dulles' "go-to" relationship with Senator Prescott Bush (senior) while serving as head of the CIA.

1-2 Ilan Pappe "Palestine: The Pendulum is Shifting"
Program #PAPI002. Recorded in Santa Fe, NM on January 23,
2019.
“Palestine
is a thankless cause, one in which if you truly serve, you get nothing back but opprobrium, abuse, and ostracism. How many friends avoid the subject? How many colleagues want none of Palestine’s controversy? How many bien
pensant liberals have time for Bosnia and Somalia, Rwanda and South Africa and Nicaragua and human
and civil rights everywhere on earth, but not for Palestine and Palestinians?” There are signs that may be changing. A new generation of activists has breathed fresh energy into the question of Palestine. The BDS, Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement,
has attracted more and more adherents. The pendulum is shifting.
Ilan Pappe is professor of history at the University of Exeter. For many years he taught at the University of Haifa and was chair of the Touma Institute
for Palestinian and Israeli Studies in Haifa. John Pilger calls him, “Israel’s bravest, most principled, most incisive historian.” He is the author of many books including The
Modern Middle East, The
Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, and Gaza
in Crisis.
