Do you believe in UFOs? Is it possible that there are extraterrestrials here on planet Earth? Do unidentified beings walk among us? This is so hard to imagine, but humanity is at a time where we can take a leap in consciousness and understand that this may be a possibility. Our guest today is the esteemed civil rights attorney, Daniel Sheehan. Daniel is Harvard-educated and has worked on high-profile cases such as the Karen Silkwood case and Iran Contra civil case. He is also at the forefront of the unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) Disclosure movement which aims to bring transparency to this phenomenon. He is also the founder of the New Paradigm Institute and the Romero Institute, dedicated to social and environmental justice. Today Danny talks about the direct link between spirituality and consciousness. When confronted by challenges, we can turn to spirituality. When we see how incredibly vast our universe really is, it's easier to imagine that we are not alone. There are different dimensions and different realities. We have limited understanding, but by opening up to exploration, and especially by learning from indigenous peoples, we can broaden our perspectives. As a civil rights attorney, Daniel has done a lot of work with the Lakota people. He explains how they believe they come from the Pleiades in their spiritual tradition. This is a specific constellation visible to us. They believe they have had a lot of encounters with Star People. The Shamans receive messages which they share within their community. We have evidence of tens of thousands of people having these encounters around the world. Now science is studying this phenomenon, and our government is investigating these incidents. Our worldviews depend on whether we view them as a threat, or as spiritual, enlightened beings. We are in a period right now where more people are open to this information. It may help us to answer profound questions – it may be a threat, or it may be an opportunity. We have Free Will and we can explore and determine our own answers. Daniel Sheehan will be speaking at the upcoming Conscious Life Expo at the LAX Hilton on Saturday, February 8, 2025, at 2pm Pacific. His topic is “The Present State ‘Official U.S. Government Disclosure' of the UFO/E.T. Reality.” He will also have a post-conference on Monday, Feb. 10. The Conscious Life Expo held at the LAX Hilton in Los Angeles will take place Feb 7 – 10, 2025. Lisa Garr will be moderating the Radical Healing Panel on Sunday, Feb 9 at Noon Pacific.

Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 84 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys are joined by Izzy of Be Kind Rewind to discuss the next film in their Mike Nichols series, Silkwood (1983). While most directors from the 1970s flourished during this time period, Mike Nichols struggled through the decade trying to find himself. With two lackluster pictures under his belt, Nichols went back to the theater, look for inspiration and a chance to make something meaningful again. After making some successful plays, he came back to cinema in the early 1980s with one of his most celebrated films to date, a biopic about Karen Silkwood, a a nuclear whistleblower and a labor union activist who investigated alleged wrongdoing at the Kerr-McGee plutonium plant where she worked. The story was all over the news in the late 70s, and the rights to make the film went through hell and back again in the courts, but when it was all set and down, Nichols and company got the chance to make a vital picture that would become a blueprint for Hollywood in telling stories like this for decades to come. Ryan, Jay, and Izzy breakdown their thoughts on the film, how well it holds up, Meryl Streep's incredible performance at the center of the film, queer identity displayed through the eyes of Dolly played by Cher, how smoking hot Kurt Russell was at the time, their thoughts on the current state of physical media, and the worst foods to eat in a movie theater. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 1h54m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series on the films of Mike Nichols with a review of his next film, Working Girl. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it. Music: MUSICALIFE, from Pond5 (intro) and “B-3” from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

The Killing of Karen SilkwoodNovember 18Karen Gay Silkwood was an American chemical technician and labor union activist known for reporting concerns about corporate practices related to health and safety in a nuclear facility.She worked at the Kerr-McGee Cimarron Fuel Fabrication Site in Crescent, Oklahoma, making plutonium pellets. She was the first woman ever elected to the union's negotiating team at Kerr-McGee. After testifying to the Atomic Energy Commission about her safety concerns, she was found to have plutonium contamination in her body and her home. While driving to meet with a New York Times journalist and an official of her union's national office, she died in a car crash, the circumstances of which were never explained entirely.Her family sued Kerr-McGee for the plutonium contamination that Silkwood suffered from. The company settled out of court for US$1.38 million, while not admitting liability. Her story was chronicled in Mike Nichols's 1983 Academy Award-nominated movie Silkwood in which she was portrayed by Meryl Streep.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
Three investigators tried to solve the mystery of what happened to Karen Silkwood on that dark highway the night of November 13th, 1974. An accident investigator hired by the union believed so strongly that Karen's car had been forced off the road that he saved the bumper as evidence, handing it down to his daughter on his deathbed. A private eye pieced together a theory that Silkwood was under surveillance. And a state trooper launched his own investigation inside law enforcement. They all hit dead ends. Or did they?

Most people who are familiar with Karen Silkwood likely learned of the chemical technician through the 1983 film Silkwood starring Meryl Streep and Cher. But the movie is no mere Hollywood drama; it is based on the true story of a young woman and union member who fought to expose her employer for deliberately misleading workers and exposing them to harmful chemicals. This battle ended in Karen Silkwood's death on November 13, 1974, a death that few people see as accidental. Today we're recounting the legacy of Karen Silkwood as we approach the 50th anniversary of the fatal car crash that took her life. We're also talking with Jim Key, former head of the USW Atomic Workers Council and who, like Karen, became a whistleblower in the nuclear industry and who feared for his safety as he fought to protect himself and his co-workers.
In this episode, Payton explores the case of Karen Silkwood, a chemical technician who may have found a secret that cost her life.
