BEHIND THE SCENES
From the Interim General Manager
I have okayed an extension of the current fund drive through next Saturday, but the main way we will produce additional revenue in the next few weeks is if staff members, paid and unpaid, board members, management, and some trusted volunteers start calling possible donors and asking for money, and for access to other people with more money. Kim Klein, who wrote the book on grassroots fundraising, makes it clear this is the main way non-profits can obtain funding. The overwhelming majority -- 70-80% of all charitable and philanthropic giving -- is by individuals, not companies or foundations, and the way to get it is by asking people with some money to give some and to vouch for you and introduce you to people with even more money. Let's get started. -- Michael Novick, iGM

MONDAY NIGHT,, OCTOBER 31.
12-1:30 Danny Sheehan
Course: Trajectory of Justice – The Constitution Under Fire
University of California Santa Cruz, 2015
Danny’s 2015 class focused on Natural Law and our ability to use it to help solve the issue of the “secret government” and its implications.
Such concepts as the idealistic generation (baby boomers) coupled with the civic generation (the millennials) will come together to solve the large issues of the 21st century. Some of these issues may include the usurpation of our constitutional rights through legislation such as the Authorization for Use of Force, the Patriot Act, and the National Defense Authorization Act; as well as climate change and its implications for our ever-growing population.
COURSE: Trajectory of Justice 2015
Class: 4-23-2015: Madison v. Hamilton
This class compares the political philosophies of founding fathers Madison and Hamilton.
Hamilton—Ruling Elite (Oligarchical):The role of the general population was to be ruled by their elected officials.
He proposed the idea of the National Bank and believed that moving money toward industry would strengthen the economy.
He also championed the Alien Sedition Act, which punished speech in opposition to the Executive Branch.
Madison—Natural Law Populist:The general population had to be educated to choose leaders wisely, and he believed that it was possible to find better ways for people to become more intimately involved in the government process. He supported a popular form of government where the people would be able to rule.
He was staunchly opposed to industrialism and the idea of a National Bank.
He believed that superfluous items are manufactured merely for the sake of continued industrialization. In contrast, the agrarian lifestyle was most valuable for Madison. Industrialization would only degrade the public character according to Madison. He also believed that a National Bank would encourage a small group to become wealthy.
He opposed the Alien Sedition Act because he believed that it blatantly violated the First Amendment.
Readings:
1. 10th Amendment Reserved Powers, Cornell University Law School, Legal Information Institute
2. Madison vs. Hamilton. (must read before class)
3. CRS/LII Annotated Constitution Tenth Amendment

1:30-2:30 The Scholars’ Circle
‘’Dark Money in Politics keeps Voters in the Dark’’ – October 16, 2022
PUBLISHED ON OCTOBER 15, 2022 BY HOST
Money can distort politics. And the lack of transparency where this money comes from can further distort politics and invite corruption. Since much of the money in campaign finance is not subject to transparency laws, it has taken the name dark money. This specifically references spending by nonprofit organizations created for political spending. How much has dark money skewed American democracy? What role does transparency in spending play in ensuring the legitimacy of democracies? [ dur: 58mins. ]Stan Oklobdzija is Visiting Assistant Professor at UC Riverside’s School of Public Policy. He is the author of Public positions, private giving: Dark money and political donors in the Digital Age and Closing Down and Cashing In: Extremism and Political Fundraising.

2:30-3:30 Can Capitalism be Fixed? (Debate)
Program #TETG-VARY001. Recorded in London, UK on October 4, 2021.
Capitalism’s origins, several centuries ago, can be traced to the expropriation of the commons and its transformation into private property. Since those hoary beginnings, it has evolved into an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and its operation for profit. In the last forty years or so capitalism has evolved into its neoliberal phase characterized by deregulation, punishing bubbles, economic crises and jaw-dropping income and wealth inequality. The system’s egregious excesses are sometimes addressed by lawmakers who serve up temporary bromides to placate the restless many. But they are just tinkering around the edges making cosmetic changes. The system is fundamentally the same. There is no alternative we are told. Why isn’t there?

12-1 Dave Emory, ''For the Record 1261 - “Bong-Bong and the Marcis Cintinuum”
POSTED BY DAVE EMORY ⋅ SEPTEMBER 28, 2022 ⋅ POST A COMMENT
Exploring a deep political, historical and economic dynamic, this program sets forth fundamental aspects of what the late, brilliant Sterling and Peggy Seagrave called “The Marcos Dynasty.”
This program excerpts two of their excellent books–which Mr. Emory emphatically recommends. There are links provided with each text excerpt to facilitate the acquisition of the books, which, again, Mr. Emory emphatically recommends.
Recently elected president of the Philippines (with close relatives of former president Duterte as aides), Ferdinand Marcos, Jr.—nicknamed Bong-Bong—has networked with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and renewed an invigorated, anti-China alliance.
Essential for an understanding of the Bong-Bong/Blinken liaison is awareness of Marcos, Jr.’s participation in his dictator father’s phenomenally lucrative recoveries of Golden Lily war gold secreted in the Philippines during World War II.
This subject is covered in the landmark text Gold Warriors by Sterling and Peggy Seagrave…

12-1 Alan Watts,
“The Philosophy of War” Part 2 of 4
All Info: www.alanwatts.org.
1-2 Insights At the Edge: Mary Firestone:
“Trusting the Dawn: Choosing Freedom and Joy After Trauma”
In 2018, Mary Firestone survived the tragic Montecito mudslide caused by 200 million gallons of rainfall in 15 minutes, washing away her home and more than a hundred others. In the wake of this experience, Mary began a healing journey that led to the creation of her new book, Trusting the Dawn: Choosing Freedom and Joy After Trauma. In this podcast, Sounds True’s founder, Tami Simon, speaks with Mary about her personal story and the lessons she offers in the book, including how we share the narratives of our past traumas; the difference between being victimized and remaining in victimhood; reframing our experiences versus spiritual bypassing; the importance of integration for the healing of trauma; MDMA, ketamine, and holotropic breathwork therapies; the “personal I” and the “depersonalized I”; initiation experiences; overcoming fear around speaking your truth; hypnosis and past-life regression as a pathway to wholeness; meditation, EMDR, flower essences, and other widely accessible alternative healing modalities; the power of choice; and more.
Mary Firestone is a graduate of Princeton University and has an MA in clinical psychology from Pepperdine University. Her own transformative epiphanies led her, along with her sister Lucy, to found their company Firestone Sisters Inc. in 2012, with the aim of providing others with healing and growth opportunities. She's been featured in Goop, Well+Good, and Forbes. Learn more at firestonesisters.com. She resides in California.
