BEHIND THE SCENES
The fund drive is lagging far behind the necessary total. As of May 15 we have reached $203,307 with 1375 pledges. With a goal of $650,000 we are way behind. “Something’s Happening!” Has brought in over $45,000. And those of us left keep working and hoping that listener supported radio will not become a memory.

12-1 THE ROLE OF THE PUBLIC INTELLECTUAL:
SANTA CRUZ FREE UNIVERSITY FALL 2014
The Esoteric Realms of Reality – Nov 17, 2014
Just as Political Public Office-Holders in State and Federal Governments feel “constrained” from speaking the truth that they have learned in their positions until after they have“retired from public office, College & University Professors inside State and Private Colleges & Universities oft-times feel constrained from sharing with their students their true conclusions about the academic subjects that they have spent a lifetime teaching until after they have achieved Emeritus status – at which time it is often too late to reach a student audience.
It is the goal of SANTA CRUZ COLLEGE to bring these truths to College & University students while they are still in the midst of their undergraduate and graduate school learning experience. This Course, “REALITY 101”: The Secret Science – The Relationship Between Consciousness and Political Action, brings you crusading Harvard Constitutional Litigation Expert and U.C. Santa Cruz Visiting Lecturer Daniel Sheehan outside of the constraints of the public courtroom and of the State University classroom, to share with you, as active and aggressively-seeking students, the truths that he has not been allowed to share with his audiences in America’s courtrooms or in College & University classrooms pertaining to the secret relationship between “Consciousness” and “Political Action” in Western Civilization.

2-3 The Scholars’ Circle.
This week we interviewed the authors of a book that just came out: PHANTOMS OF A BELEAGUERED REPUBLIC: The Deep State and the Unitary Executive
The book examines this political struggle and the tension between the Presidency and the Administrative State.
Here's a description of the book from the publisher Oxford Press:
For four years, Donald Trump waged war on the executive branch. Convinced that administrators were out to sabotage his presidency, he turned the “Deep State” into a catch-all villain, responsible for everything that went wrong and all that he failed to achieve. Joe Biden has promised a new era of comity between the chief executive and those he is charged to oversee, but that may be wishful thinking. Trump was not the first president to eye the executive branch as an impediment to his leadership. In fact, these tensions have been mounting for more than a half-century.
In PHANTOMS OF A BELEAGUERED REPUBLIC: The Deep State and the Unitary Executive (Oxford University Press | March 2021) Stephen Skowronek, John A. Dearborn, and Desmond King [null]argue that the Deep State and the unitary executive are two sides of the same syndrome. The contest they frame speaks to basic issues of governance long suppressed and outfitted with two distinct conceptions of authority that are now drawing each other out. This insightful new book explains how and why the Trump presidency became entangled in conflicts with administrators in both the executive branch and the U.S. Congress, while also showing how we might reimagine presidential power, administrative independence, and our system of checks and balances.
The authors are:
Stephen Skowronek is Pelatiah Perit Professor of Political Science and Professor in the Institution for Social and Policy Studies at Yale University. His publications include, The Policy State: An American Predicament and The Search for American Political Development.
John A. Dearborn is a Postdoctoral Associate and Lecturer at Yale University. He is soon to be Assistant Professor at Vanderbilt University. He is the author of the forthcoming book Power Shifts: Congress and Presidential Representation.
Desmond King is the Andrew W Mellon Professor of American Government at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of Nuffield College, Oxford. His publications include, Still a House Divided: Race and Politics in Obama’s America and Fed Power: How Finance Wins.

1-2 Dave Emory, For the Record #1176 - Miscellaneous Articles and Updates”
As the title indicates, this broadcast updates old subjects of inquiry and introduces new stories.
Continuing reflections on the “Capitol Riot” of 1/6/2021, the program reviews and fleshes out Nazi links to the 9/11 attacks, this in the context of George W. Bush’s rhapsodizing about the “peaceful transfer of power” in this country.
We call attention to a number of things:
1.–What happened in Washington D.C. on 1/6/2021 was not fundamentally different from the “Brooks Brothers Riot” in Florida that aided the theft of the 2000 election. Organized by Trump flak catcher Roger Stone, that incident and the efforts of current Supreme Court Justices John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett saw to it that Shrub would inherit his father’s Presidential mantle.
2.–In the wake of the Capitol Riot, the “Opining Heads” raised the subject of the Turner Diaries and its foreshadowing of fascist violence. In 1998, the author of that tome,–William Luther Pierce–explicitly foreshadowed the 9/11 attacks which defined and cemented Dubya’s administration. “ . . . . In one chilling commentary Pierce, (after noting that Bin Laden and the rest of the lost generation of angry Moslem youth had it with their parents’ compromises and were hell bent on revenge against infidel America) issued this stark, prophetic warning in a 1998 radio address titled, ‘Stay Out of Tall Buildings.’ ‘New Yorkers who work in tall office buildings anything close to the size of the World Trade Center might consider wearing hard hats . . .’ Pierce warned.’ . . . The running theme in Pierce’s commentaries is—to paraphrase his hero Hitler—that Osama Bin Laden’s warning to America is ‘I Am Coming.’ And so is bio-terrorism.’ . . .”
3.– In (among other programs) FTR #186–the last program recorded in 1999–Mr. Emory noted that George W. Bush’s first business venture–Arbusto Energy–was capitalized by the family of Osama Bin Laden.
4.–Also in FTR #456, we also noted that Francois Genoud was a key financial adviser to the Bin Laden family. One of the most important figures in the Nazi diaspora, Genoud was the heir to the collected works and political last will and testament of: Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbels and Martin Bormann. “ . . . . According to [financial expert Ernest] Backes’ information, the trail leads to Switzerland, to the accounts of an organization that was founded by the late lawyer Francois Genoud and evidently still survives. Says Backes, ‘One of the grounds for accusation is that this Swiss attorney had the closest connections with the Bin Laden family, that he was an advisor to the family, one of its investment bankers. It’s known for certain, that he supported terrorism and was the estate executor for Hitler and part of the terror milieu.’ . . .”
5.–The Bank Al-Taqwa had an account for Al Qaeda’s operations with an unlimited line of credit. Also in FTR#456, we noted that Al Taqwa chief (and former Nazi intelligence agent) Youssef Nada helped the Grand Mufti escape from Europe in the aftermath of World War II. “ . . . . Another valued World War II Nazi collaborator was Youssef Nada, current board chairman of al-Taqwa (Nada Management), the Lugano, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and Bahamas-based financial services outfit accused by the US Treasury Department of money laundering for and financing of Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaeda. As a young man, he had joined the armed branch of the secret apparatus’ (al-jihaz al-sirri) of the Muslim Brotherhood and then was recruited by German military intelligence. When Grand Mufti el-Husseini had to flee Germany in 1945 as the Nazi defeat loomed, Nada reportedly was instrumental in arranging the escape via Switzerland back to Egypt and eventually Palestine, where el-Husseini resurfaced in 1946.) . . . .”
6.–The San Francisco Chronicle reported that: “ . . . . Authorities believe Genoud founded Al Taqwa Bank and allocated its resources to support international terrorists such as Vladimir Ilich Ramirez, alias Carlos the Jackal, and Bin Laden. . . . .”
7.–One of the most important elements in the investigative trail leading to and from the 9/11 attacks is SICO–the Swiss-based holding company that manages the Bin Laden family interests. Here, too, we see the influence of Genoud: “ . . . . This company, established by the bin Ladens in 1980, is the flagship for the group’s activities in Europe. It is headed by Yeslam bin Laden, and the board of directors is made up almost exclusively of members of the family clan, except for a Swiss citizen, Baudoin Dunand. This well-known lawyer from French-speaking Switzerland, who is on the boards of several dozen companies, came to public notice in 1983 when he agreed to represent the Swiss banker Francois Genoud, a controversial figure who had been a disciple of Hitler . . . .”
Another of the crocodiles shedding tears in the aftermath of the Capitol Riot was Arnold Schwarzenegger, who compared the events of 1/6/2021 to Kristallnacht. In FTR #492, we detailed Schwarzenegger’s links to William Armstead Robinson, who may well be a political/financial cat’s paw for the deadly Bormann network.
Next, we note that Merrick Garland has been confirmed as Attorney General. Previously, he had been the federal prosecutor in the Oklahoma City Bombing. Numerous evidentiary tributaries were not investigated–those evidentiary elements led in the direction of a much wider conspiracy.
Garland failed to investigate profound links between the Oklahoma City Bombing, the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing and the 9/11 attacks.
Garland also failed to pursue the apparent role of Andreas Strassmeier in the bombing….

2-3 Samir. ‘’Stateless and Abandoned: Personal Stories From. Four Young Palestinian Women Exiled in Lebanon’’ (May 7, 2021)
It has been 73 years since al-Nakba. Nakba translates to Catastrophe.
In 1948, Jewish paramilitary gangs expelled over 750,000 Palestinians from their ancestral homes and villages, creating one of the largest refugee crises of our time.
About 100,000 of those refugees, mostly form the northern villages, fled to Lebanon. Others found refuge in Iraq, Syria, Jordan, and there are even refugee camps in Gaza, East Jerusalem and the West Bank.
In 1967 the Israelis, with the help of the United States’ military power, created another round of refugees. Many of them also ended up in Lebanon.
Today, by UNRWA’s records, there are over half a million Palestinian refugees just in Lebanon alone. Lebanon is home to 12 Palestinian refugee camps. Here, you will hear a Palestinian perspective that is rarely heard from.
The North America Nakba Tour in conjunction with JVP-LA and all of the co-sponsors present four outstanding young women coming to us from Lebanon. They are 3rd and 4th generation Palestinian refugees. They and their families are stateless because the Israeli entity and the United States refuse them their Right to Return to their homes and villages, in Palestine.
